Chapter 309 - 309: Mommy’s Boss Is a Villain

It was an unknown number. She frowned. Could it be a scam call?

As soon as she picked up, Joy’s tender voice sounded.

“Mommy, guess who it is.” Joy gave Shu Pan a riddle.

“Who are you? You must have dialed the wrong number.” Shu Pan pretended not to recognize Joy’s voice.

“Silly Mommy, it’s Joy.” Joy laughed.

“Joy, whose phone are you using?” Shu Pan saw that the unknown number didn’t look like Gu Shaoting’s.

“An uncle’s phone.” Joy replied.

“Why do you have another uncle’s phone? Where’s Uncle Gu?” Shu Pan asked in confusion.

“The two uncles are talking.” Joy answered honestly.

“Are you happy today?” Shu Pan asked.

“Yes. Uncle Gu is amazing. Everyone must listen to him.”

“That’s good. Let’s go home tonight. I’ll pick you up after work, okay?” Shu Pan said opportunistically.

“Sure,” Joy agreed readily.

“Mommy, do you want to have lunch with us?” Joy remembered what Uncle Gu asked her to do.

Shu Pan’s heart raced at the thought of Gu Shaoting’s burning gaze.

“Sorry Mommy can’t. I’ll eat with you tonight. I still have work at noon.” Shu Pan comforted Joy. She knew that the little girl would be unhappy.

“Oh, alright then.” Disappointment was obvious in Joy’s voice.

Shu Pan coaxed her for a bit before she hung up.

In Gu Shaoting’s office, Gu Shaoting was having a discussion with He Ming. Joy used He Ming’s phone to call her mother.

When the two adults were almost done talking, Joy put down the phone.

“Uncle Gu, Mommy said she’s busy and won’t be joining us for lunch.” Joy said unhappily.

“Mommy’s boss is a villain. He doesn’t let Mommy out for lunch and gives Mommy so much work to do.” Joy said angrily.

Gu Shaoting was speechless. He didn’t know how he landed in the crossfire. He never asked his employees to work so hard that they couldn’t even have lunch.

“Your mommy is probably busy with something else. Everyone gets to eat and rest at noon.” Gu Shaoting tried to correct her mistake with a four-year-old child.

The little girl was still displeased.

Gu Shaoting’s dark eyes below his straight eyebrows showed a trace of helplessness, but he still maintained a smile in front of Joy and said warmly,

“Then Uncle Gu will treat you to a feast.”

The little girl’s eyes lit up the moment she heard the word “feast”.

Yay! She got to eat delicious food now.

Shu Pan had a simple lunch with Tang Wei at the company cafeteria. Tang Wei still pestered her about what happened in the morning but Shu Pan ignored her.

“Shu Pan, when do you think I’ll meet my Mr. Right?” Tang Wei asked deflatedly while stirring the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.

“Soon. Don’t worry.” Shu Pan felt that Tang Wei was a little gossipy but she was kind and friendly, and God would treat her well.

She used to complain about fate and the world too, but she got through it in the end.

Life was like this. When God closed a door, He would open a window for you.

They dove back into work after lunch and were busy until past 5 p.m.

Shu Pan looked at the time. She should leave soon.

She planned to go grocery shopping at the market after work. She wanted to cook a delicious meal..
