Chapter 157: Are You Crazy?

After having a hearty al at Shu Pan’s house, Gu Shaoting reluctantly left and returned to the Gu Family’s mansion. Lately, he had been spending most of his ti at the Gu Family mansion, rarely going back to his own place.

His grandfather was still staying with his uncle’s family, and he planned to bring his grandfather back ho after formally recognizing Joy as his family. The old man would be overjoyed for sure.

As he entered the living room, he saw Song Can sitting on the sofa, her face pale. The room was dimly lit, and Song Can sat in silence.

“Mom, why are you sitting here like this?” Gu Shaoting sat down beside her.

“Shaoting, have you gone mad? You want to break off the engagent with Tong Fei? Aren’t our family’s scandals enough for you?” Song Can scolded loudly.

“Mom, please calm down and listen to . I really have no feelings for Tong Fei. Even if we get married, we’d just be strangers. Ending the engagent now is in everyone’s best interest. And with Joy in the picture, I owe her so much. I want to give her a warm family,” Gu Shaoting calmly explained, hoping for his mother’s support.

“Joy is our Gu family’s descendant, and we must acknowledge her. But there’s no conflict between that and your marriage to Tong Fei. Son, we can’t act like this. Where will you leave her reputation?” Song Can strongly argued. She was furious when Tong Fei called her this afternoon to inform her of this situation. “Mom, I know I made a mistake, but I can’t keep owing her and her daughter. I

genuinely ssed up before, and now I have a chance to make ands. Actually, if I marry Tong Fei like this, it wouldn’t be fair to her either. She deserves better,” Gu Shaoting kept persuading, but he was resolute in his decision.

“Shaoting, the way you’re handling this…, ” Song Can shook her head with a mix of anger and helplessness, unsure how to face Tong Fei herself.

Shu Pan’s attitude towards him was subtle, sotis ignoring him. Even if it wasn’t for Joy, he wanted to win back Shu Pan. Recent interactions had made him increasingly sure of his feelings for her. He only experienced that heart-pounding feeling when he saw her.

He still held so resentnt towards Shu Laide, but that animosity gradually faded as ti passed.

Given the current situation, he realized that winning back Shu Pan might be a long and challenging journey, but he was ntally prepared for it.

Despite the deepening twilight, Gu Shaoting felt no drowsiness.

Gu Shaoting thought he had reached an understanding with Tong Fei, but in reality, he hadn’t. Tong Fei directed her resentnt towards Shu Pan due to Gu Shaoting’s decision to end the engagent.

“Shu Pan, I won’t let you off the hook,” Tong Fei said with determination.

She knew that Gu Shaoting intended to follow through with ending the engagent. Even though she ntioned it to Song Can, she doubted it would make any difference. A growing sense of frustration was building inside her.

If she and Gu Shaoting ended their engagent, it was likely that her endorsents and advertisents would decrease significantly. Not only would she beco a laughingstock, but her career would also take a nosedive. She absolutely refused to let this happen.

She sat on the sofa, not moving a muscle, holding her phone in her hand, torn between emotions and rationality.

In the end, her resentnt triumphed over reason. She picked up her phone, dialed a number, and after a while, the call was answered. She gently addressed the person on the other end, “Lord Long….”
