章 49: Mother-in-law's Scolding

After Secretary Zhang left, the room fell silent. As Shu Pan was about to tidy up the desk, the phone rang again. Gu Shaoting picked it up and glanced at it. It was Song Can. He handed the phone to Shu Pan, signaling her to answer it.

Shu Pan took the phone with confusion, looking at the display showing "Mom." She hesitated for a moment before putting it to her ear.

Before Shu Pan could even greet her mother, Song Can had already started talking about her conversation with Tong Fei last night. She mentioned that Tong Fei still liked Gu Shaoting and was trying to please her. Shu Pan listened quietly, unable to interject. Once Song Can finished speaking, she noticed that Gu Shaoting hadn't responded. She tried tentatively, "Shaoting, are you listening? React, please."
