Barbecue Party

Shu Pan saw many relatives and friends, all of whom she had met at the last family gathering. She nodded politely and exchanged greetings with each of them. Everyone praised her for her obedient demeanor.

However, there was one person who treated her indifferently, and that was Song Can, who had also attended the gathering. Initially, she had been reluctant to come because her son had grown up and no longer listened to her. She disagreed with the decision, but since the majority agreed, she had to come. Not attending would have brought disgrace to the family, as everyone knew about the strained relationship between her and her daughter-in-law. Moreover, if she didn't come, Shu Pan would become the true lady of the Gu family, and everyone would start favoring her. So, despite her reluctance, she came out of necessity.
