Shu Pan followed Gu Shaoting’s advice and returned home to rest for a while before waiting for the driver to pick her up for her styling appointment.

In the afternoon, around 2 p.m., the driver returned. Gu Shaoting was too busy with his affairs today, so he couldn’t come back, but he assured her that he would pick her up later to go to the venue together.

Shu Pan was unfamiliar with all this, but Gu Shaoting had arranged everything. All she needed to do was get into the car and let the driver take her there.

“Madam, we have arrived, it’s right here, the place Mr. Gu arranged. I’ll wait for you outside,” the car stopped in front of a large styling company.

“Alright, thank you,” Shu Pan said as she got out of the car and went inside.

Soon, someone came to receive her. Since it was arranged by Gu Shaoting, Shu Pan didn’t have to worry about anything.

“Miss, I’m sorry, your Stylist is still with another client. You might have to wait for a bit,” the receptionist apologized.

Actually, the appointment was made by the lady in front of her, but just now another lady arrived and insisted on having that Stylist. She caused quite a scene, fearing it might affect others, so they prioritized her.

“No problem, I’ll wait,” Shu Pan said with a good attitude.

She didn’t really mind; any stylist would do for her. Besides, Gu Shaoting had arranged it, and she couldn’t be bothered to change.

Shu Pan waited in the VIP room.

After a while, the receptionist came to inform her that it was her turn.

As Shu Pan got up to walk inside, she almost collided with someone passing by.

“Why is it you again?” Charlene turned her head, instantly annoyed. How could this person keep showing up everywhere? They bumped into each other at the office last time, and now they meet here.

Shu Pan was also taken aback, her brows furrowed.

“This isn’t exclusively your place, why, can’t I come here?” Shu Pan couldn’t help but retort. It seemed they were destined to meet again. Judging by her appearance, she was here for styling too, and she might be the one who cut the line as the receptionist mentioned.

But then she thought, encountering her here wasn’t surprising. If she was an employee of the Gu Group and attending the corporation’s banquet tonight, it was normal for her to come here for styling. Judging by her demeanor and choice of venue, her position and background were probably not simple.

Charlene hadn’t expected Shu Pan to stand up to her. Seeing her gentle demeanor, she thought she was an easy target. Turns out she had quite a sharp tongue.

In reality, Shu Pan treated people differently. Generally, she wouldn’t make a fuss, understanding the importance of forgiving others. But when faced with someone so audacious, who insisted on blaming others for their own mistakes, she couldn’t help but retort.

It was too much.

“Hmph, do you even know where you are? Styling here isn’t cheap. Even if you’re angling for a wealthy husband, you need to consider your own capabilities. Don’t end up with empty hands and empty pocket,” Charlene looked Shu Pan up and down, noticing she wasn’t wearing any designer clothes, indicating her financial status was probably not great.

She was just trying to kindly remind her not to rely on looking pretty, as the expenses here were not insignificant.

“Thanks for your concern, but I don’t need you worrying about this,” Shu Pan said calmly, before stepping inside and closing the door behind her.

Charlene stomped her foot in frustration. It was outrageous. She swore not to cross paths with her again, or she’d make her regret it.

Shu Pan treated the incident as a joke and shrugged it off.

It just went to show, there were all sorts of people in the world.

Sigh, she hoped not to encounter such a piece of work next time. It was exhausting just thinking about it.
