Chapter 537: Do You Know I’m Still Breathing?

“If you’re tired, just sit down for a while. I’m here.” Everyone would find out eventually, so there was no need to stand around and catch a cold.

Moreover, she had worn high heels just to look good while standing beside him. Seeing him like this, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

“Not tired,” she glanced around. Nobody paid much attention to them. She tiptoed a bit and moved closer, whispering, “I like standing with you to greet the guests.”

“Okay,” Gu Shaoting’s smile was radiant, and his response was firm.

Joy had returned yesterday and was now showing her grandfather and mother-in-law around.

Shu Laide was relieved. Her daughter had finally weathered the storm, and she no longer had to worry about her.

He Ming and Ye Xiaomeng had also arrived. Xiaomeng laughed at her when she saw her, teasing her for being a wealthy lady now, living in a mansion.

When Ye Xiaomeng stepped into the villa, she was truly amazed. It was a mansion she had only seen on television—modern yet cozy.

She felt genuinely happy for Shu Pan and couldn’t help but envy her. Thinking about herself, she felt a pang of bitterness.

It wasn’t that He Ming didn’t treat her well. Whether he did or didn’t, she had nothing to offer in return, and that was the most agonizing part.

If she couldn’t even have children, what right did she have to stay with He Ming? Although He Ming said he didn’t mind, every time he got lost in thought after seeing someone else’s child, she felt deeply saddened.

Forget it, it was her friend’s special day. She didn’t want to dwell on those depressing matters.

Of course, an occasion like this wouldn’t be complete without Song Can.

A few days ago when Gu Shaoting informed her, Song Can was so angry she felt like smashing her phone. She was the last one to know about such an important matter.

Qiyuan, she knew it was developed by Gu Group and was selling like hotcakes at the time. But Gu Shaoting didn’t tell her he kept a set for himself until now, and he moved in with his wife and daughter.

The atmosphere was harmonious, but she felt like an outsider now. How absurd.

When she saw her, Shu Pan felt very awkward and then whispered, “Mom.”

She really didn’t know how to address her. And seeing her stern face, Song Can didn’t respond to Shu Pan, so she could only stand there feeling lost.

Gu Shaoting saw Song Can arrive and immediately went up to her. “Mom, you’re here. Didn’t I ask the driver to pick you up?”

“I wouldn’t dare to trouble you. Do you still consider me your mother?” Song Can said indignantly, but because there were so many relatives and friends around, she deliberately lowered her voice, but the anger in her tone was evident.

“Mom, what are you talking about? This is also your home. You can come and stay anytime you want. Just pick whichever room you like.” Gu Shaoting hurriedly pacified her when he saw how angry she was. In fact, he knew Song Can’s intention was not about coming to stay.

She just wanted to feel relevant. She liked to be in control of everything, and she believed she should be informed first about everything.

Seeing Gu Shaoting say this, Song Can felt much better. And seeing Shu Pan standing by without daring to say anything, she couldn’t help but feel a little smug.

In this home, her son’s word was law. Just because she entered this home didn’t mean she was the mistress. Dream on. She wouldn’t have a say.

Song Can snorted and then walked away, proud like a swan.

“Panpan, sorry, my mom has that kind of personality,” Gu Shaoting felt very embarrassed.

“I understand. I’m not bothered by it,” Shu Pan smiled and said.
