Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 527: Shocking News

He mainly wanted to check on Song Can, and seeing her chatting and laughing put his mind at ease.

“Mom, you two keep talking, I have things to attend to. I’ll head back now,” Gu Shaoting said. But as soon as he finished speaking, Song Can stood up and couldn’t help but scold him, “You’ve barely been back for two minutes. If you really don’t want to come back, then don’t step foot in this house again. Just stay with your precious wife and daughter.”

“Auntie, don’t be angry. Let’s talk things out calmly. Don’t let anger affect your health,” Charlene quickly interjected, trying to mediate.

“Sigh, so troublesome,” Song Can grumbled as she sat on the sofa.

Nowadays, whenever the mother and son met, it was like a collision between Mars and Earth, creating a heated atmosphere.

“Mom, take care of yourself. I’ll come back to see you when I have time,” Gu Shaoting said worriedly. He knew that if he stayed any longer, Song Can would start venting her anger again. Now, as long as he intended to marry Shu Pan, his mother would disapprove.

Sigh, he wondered how he could eliminate her deep-seated resentment.

After Gu Shaoting left, Song Can still felt somewhat resentful.

“Charlene, you don’t understand. Shaoting is an adult now and has his own ideas. As long as he thinks it’s right, I don’t need to be this angry. Just let him be,” Song Can explained, pretending to be calm. She hoped that the more they argued, the more likely Gu Shaoting would compromise and break up with that woman.

“Charlene, you don’t know. I don’t like her, really. She’s so petty and immature. I don’t know what Shaoting sees in her,” Song Can expressed her deeply ingrained belief, which was difficult to change.

“Maybe you’ll slowly learn to accept her and be pleasantly surprised,” Charlene suggested.

“Accept her? Forget it. It’s not like I haven’t accepted her before. Weren’t they like that before they got divorced?” What? Divorced? Were they together again after divorce?

Charlene was truly shocked by this news.

How come what she heard before wasn’t like this? It’s impossible. The company is so big, with so many people, how could no one know?

“Auntie, did Gu Shaoting get divorced?” Charlene asked uncertainly.

“Yes, but now they’ve reconciled. Since they loved each other in the beginning, why did they divorce? Only to get back together later. What’s going on? I’ve always thought it was Shu Pan clinging to Shaoting, and my foolish son was blinded by her,” Song Can said, getting angrier as she spoke.

“Oh, you can’t say for sure. Many women nowadays are shallow,” Charlene chimed in.

“Exactly,” Song Can said, feeling understood.

“Then let Gu Shaoting slowly discover her true colors.”

“It’s difficult. He’s already in too deep, unable to see the beauty around him,” Song Can sighed, feeling the weight of keeping family matters private, but she couldn’t hold it in anymore; she was so frustrated.

Charlene held Song Can’s hand and gently patted it, offering comfort.

Seeing her upset, Charlene recounted many cultural insights and anecdotes from her previous travels, as Song Can had also been traveling to many countries recently. They found common ground and chatted animatedly, and Song Can finally let go of her frustration with Gu Shaoting’s situation.

But Charlene’s heart was far from calm. She hadn’t expected to learn such explosive news today. It was truly unexpected.

But at least Gu Shaoting was already divorced, he wasn’t a married man. In that case, she wouldn’t be seen as a home-wrecker.

And if that woman was shallow, then it would be easier to handle. Money could solve such problems, which didn’t seem like a big issue.
