“Miss Shu, I have something I need to discuss with you. Please choose a place,” Gu Shaoting said, and for some reason, he felt quite excited when saying this. However, he deliberately lowered his voice to maintain a cold and stern appearance.
“What is it? We don’t have much to talk about,” Shu Pan became alert.
“Are you sure? Let’s meet first. Choose a location,” Gu Shaoting insisted, and it was clear that this meeting was non-negotiable.
Shu Pan knew that when Gu Shaoting had decided on something, there was no room for refusal. She reluctantly chose a nearby café, thinking that this environment would be conducive to a conversation.
Being close by, Shu Pan arrived at the café first. She took a seat by the window, pondering what Gu Shaoting might want to discuss. Soon after, Gu Shaoting entered.
He had a poker face but walked with a confident stride, exuding an aura of severity.
Gu Shaoting walked directly to the seat opposite Shu Pan. He was a man of efficiency and didn’t waste any words. He pushed his phone toward Shu Pan without saying anything.
“Explain this. What’s going on?” Gu Shaoting demanded.
Shu Pan was initially taken aback, but she asked, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Gu Shaoting pointed to the photo of the little girl on his phone and said, “You recognize this little girl, right? There’s no need for further explanation. She’s also my daughter.”
Shu Pan glared at him, picked up her phone from the table, and tried to delete it.
“Miss Shu, do you think doing this will change the facts?” Gu Shaoting’s words were like a bucket of cold water splashed onto Shu Pan.
Shu Pan’s lips turned pale, and she forced a smile. “Mr. Gu, this child is mine.”
“Are you certain she’s solely your child? Do we need to see a DNA test report? I can overlook your act of secretly having a child, but the child must be under my custody,” Gu Shaoting’s words were as icy as his tone.
“Don’t forget, you once told me to take birth control pills. You didn’t want to have a child with me. Why do you want the child now?” Shu Pan’s lips trembled in anger.
“That was then, this is now. The offspring of the Gu family must not remain outside,” Gu Shaoting’s tone remained cold and indifferent.
“You have a fiancée now, and you can have children with her. I only have Joy.
She’s my precious one,” Shu Pan said, her voice quivering with tears.
“Considering you know the law, as long as I provide a DNA test report to the judge, although you have the right to contest custody, don’t forget that you currently have a low income and debts to repay. I don’t believe someone who can barely support themselves financially can provide our child with a good upbringing and educational resources,” Gu Shaoting struck at the heart of the matter.
“Gu Shaoting.”
“If you agree to give me custody of the child, I will compensate you financially,” Gu Shaoting said generously.
Shu Pan, although financially struggling, didn’t have the confidence to utter such wealthy-sounding words. She took a deep breath and said, “I don’t need your money. I can’t be separated from my daughter.”
“I also don’t want my child to call someone else ‘dad,’” Gu Shaoting maintained his emotionless expression.
Shu Pan gazed steadily at Gu Shaoting, as if seeking a glimmer of hope in his eyes. However, it seemed that she would be disappointed..
