Gu Shaoting had been feeling overwhelmed recently. He was at a loss, both anxious and frustrated with Shu Pan. However, he couldn’t resort to legal action, as it might escalate the situation and leave no room for compromise.

He had to consider He Ming’s advice. After all, outsiders often had a clearer perspective.

“What should I do? No matter what I say, Shu Pan remains unresponsive. I haven’t even formally met Joy yet. It’s as if Shu Pan is guarding against me like a thief. Should I really send a demand letter?” Gu Shaoting was troubled.

“No, Brother Ting, if you genuinely want to establish a connection with Joy, don’t offend Shu Pan. The little girl has been with her mother all her life. If you mistreat her mother, she won’t give you a warm welcome either,” He Ming explained the intricacies of the situation.

He Ming had his own reasons for this advice; he was worried that if Gu Shaoting offended Shu Pan, Ye Xiaomeng would be upset once she found out about their relationship.

“Just keep engaging with them. Over time, she will be moved, but the key is to maintain a good and sincere attitude,” He Ming earnestly advised.

“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll head back to the Gu Family’s mansion today,” Gu

When Gu Shaoting returned to the Gu Family’s mansion, the living room was brightly lit. Song Can was watching TV in the living room, and Tong Fei had just come out of the kitchen when she heard the commotion.

“Welcome back, have you had dinner?” Tong Fei inquired, but Gu Shaoting didn’t respond and went straight to his bedroom to take a shower.

Tong Fei felt uneasy, not knowing what had happened. She looked at Song Can, hoping to get some information from her. However, Song Can shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn’t know what was going on either.

The two women exchanged glances, and Tong Fei silently sat down next to Song Can. Since the day Gu Shaoting had told her about his daughter with Shu Pan, she had been restless.

“Feifei, what’s wrong? You seem lost in thought,” Song Can noticed that Tong Fei seemed off and asked with concern.

“It’s nothing, I’m just thinking about work. Auntie, there are many new arrivals lately. We should find some time to check them out,” Tong Fei managed a weak smile.

“Is Shaoting very busy these days? Have you two been meeting frequently recently?” Song Can raised an eyebrow as Tong Fei changed the topic.

“Not much lately. We’re both busy,” Tong Fei replied. In reality, they hadn’t met since the day they had talked, and Gu Shaoting had revealed that he had a daughter. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. So, she had come to the Gu Family’s mansion today to see Song Can’s reaction. Based on her expression, Gu Shaoting likely hadn’t told her yet.

She decided not to say anything. According to Song Can’s thinking, she wouldn’t allow the Gu family’s flesh and blood to be left outside.

As she was lost in thought, Gu Shaoting came out in casual clothing, his hair still wet. Grandpa Gu had been sulking for a while due to Gu Shaoting’s divorce. Recently, he had gone to stay at his uncle’s house to avoid seeing them. Gu Shaoting had no choice but to let him be, occasionally visiting when he had the time.

Gu Shaoting sat down on the sofa, glanced at Song Can and Tong Fei, and then spoke with determination, “I want custody of Joy. I hope you both understand that she is my daughter.”

“Joy? Your daughter? What daughter?” Song Can was bewildered and couldn’t grasp the situation.

“Shu Pan was pregnant at the time, and later, after our divorce, she gave birth to a daughter,” Gu Shaoting explained to Song Can..
