Chapter 512: Complaining

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Saturday, the sun was shining brightly, and Charlene got up, carefully preparing herself. She chose a very ladylike dress, demure and elegant, wanting to make a good impression on Song Can.

Around noon, she called Song Can, and the two arranged to meet at a Western restaurant.

“Auntie, you’ve aged really well. You look like my sister,” Charlene said, the first words out of her mouth causing Song Can to be at a loss for words.

“You sweet talker. I’m getting old, unlike you young folks,” Song Can chuckled.

Who didn’t love a compliment?

“Here, Auntie, take a look at the menu. What would you like?” Charlene eagerly handed the menu to Song Can.

“Okay, I’ll have a medium-rare steak and a bowl of minestrone soup,” Song Can ordered, and Charlene followed suit, adding a salad.

“Charlene, aren’t you from around here?” Song Can asked as they waited for their food.

“No, my dad is French, and my mom is Chinese. I’m here mainly to study,” Charlene replied.

“I see, leaving home is not easy,” Song Can sighed.

“Auntie, what about you? Are your children not with you?” Charlene asked tentatively, feeling a bit nervous as she spoke.

She watched Song Can’s expression as she asked.

“Oh, don’t even mention it. He’s a headache, always worrying me,” Song Can became annoyed at the thought of Gu Shaoting.

“Don’t get too worked up, Auntie. Children and grandchildren bring their own blessings,” Charlene pretended to console her.

“If my son’s girlfriend were half as sensible as you, I wouldn’t be so troubled,” Song Can seemed to find a confidant in Charlene, starting to vent.

“I don’t like the girl my son is dating,” she added without going into detail.

“Well, maybe your standards are too high, Auntie. As long as they love each other, it’s fine,” Charlene thought Song Can wasn’t the easiest person to get along with.

With her sharp tongue, she probably demanded constant flattery. The moment things didn’t go her way, she’d likely start scolding people.

“Nothing much, but that woman is very petty and weak-minded, and she’s not helpful to my son’s career either,” Song Can continued to complain, clearly not fond of Shu Pan.

Now that Gu Shaoting disregarded her opinions and insisted on being with her, there was nothing she could do. She had already tried every trick in the book, from crying to throwing tantrums to threatening suicide, but Gu Shaoting remained indifferent.

So now she just pretended they didn’t exist. Occasionally, when Gu Shaoting called to greet her, she would angrily hang up the phone.

Hearing Song Can criticize Gu Shaoting’s girlfriend, Charlene felt secretly delighted. It seemed she had a strong opinion indeed.

Charlene gently squeezed Song Can’s hand and said, “Auntie, don’t be angry. It’s not worth getting upset over.”

Song Can smiled. “You’re right. I don’t think about them much anymore. They don’t appear in front of me anyway.”

“The food’s here. After we finish eating, we can go shopping properly,” Charlene changed the subject.

She probably knew what she wanted to inquire about.

Gu Shaoting had a girlfriend he was considering marrying, but she hadn’t heard anything about a child.

Either way, Gu Shaoting hadn’t gotten married yet, and his mother didn’t approve.

She decided to build a good relationship with her first. Who would know what might happen in the future? fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

At home, Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but sneeze. He was being thought of again.

Joy would be going to her grandfather’s house next Tuesday for a month. During these days while she was still at home, Gu Shaoting planned to spend as much time with her as possible. Although he hated to see her go, he understood his parents’ longing to see their granddaughter.

However, once Joy was away, he could have some alone time with Shu Pan. It didn’t sound like a bad idea at all.
