Charlene had been anxiously waiting for news from Gu Shaoting for the past few days, but there was nothing. She felt perplexed. Had Qin Zhen not sent the message to Shu Pan? Or had it been sent to the wrong number?
Normally, any woman would lose her temper and confront him immediately. Charlene thought about it and decided to test Gu Shaoting’s reaction. She sent him a photo, one featuring him and Tong Fei.
After sending it, she nervously waited for his reply.
When Gu Shaoting received the photo, he was stunned. His expression turned grim. When had he ever taken such a photo? He thought and thought but had no recollection of it. Besides, Tong Fei had been out of his life for a long time. How could she suddenly reappear?
Unable to solve the mystery, he called back directly.
Charlene swallowed nervously when she heard the phone ring. She was both scared and excited. She quickly answered, “Brother Gu?”
A stern voice came from the other end. “Charlene? How do you have this photo?” Gu Shaoting demanded.
Charlene was taken aback. She tried to maintain her composure. “Brother Gu, someone else sent it to me.”
Gu Shaoting, known for being succinct, didn’t waste words on her.
Charlene, although not very familiar with Gu Shaoting, knew he was decisive and quick in his actions.
“Do you have more?” Gu Shaoting asked, as expected.
Charlene decided not to hide anything. “Yes, Brother Gu. Why don’t we meet and discuss it?”
“Alright, at the café across from my office,” Gu Shaoting agreed, wanting to see what she was up to.
Soon, Charlene had done her makeup and arrived on time. She wouldn’t keep Brother Gu waiting. She felt a sense of triumph on her way. She believed she was more attractive and talented than Shu Pan, and she was confident in her charm.
This was a rare opportunity to see Brother Gu again.
When she arrived, she saw Gu Shaoting with his back to her, seemingly deep in thought. She approached and called out, “Brother Gu.”
“Sit,” Gu Shaoting said. “Charlene, who did this?”
Gu Shaoting’s voice was low but authoritative, sending chills down her spine.
“Who did what? I don’t know,” Charlene suddenly regretted her impulsiveness. She realized how foolish she had been. With Brother Gu’s intelligence, how could he not figure it out?
“Charlene, I’ve always thought you were smart. Don’t play dumb with me. Delete those photos immediately,” Gu Shaoting threatened, visibly angry. How dare someone try to mess with him?
“Okay, I’ll delete them,” Charlene said meekly, noticing his grim expression.
“Charlene, I won’t repeat myself. I love Shu Pan. No misunderstanding can break us apart. Stop scheming behind our backs,” Gu Shaoting warned.
Charlene, feeling resentful, retorted, “Brother Gu, you should pay more attention to the people around you. What’s so great about Shu Pan? She doesn’t love you. She’s seen these photos already but hasn’t reacted at all.”
Gu Shaoting’s face turned dark, like the bottom of a pot.
He suddenly grabbed Charlene’s chin and said, “Do you need to be taught a lesson? You have no idea what you’re messing with. Let me tell you, I’m not a patient person, and you haven’t seen my bad side yet.”
