Song Can's Birthday

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Quickly take a shower and go to bed." Gu Shaoting stood up and patted her head.

"Alright." Shu Pan nodded.

Shu Pan felt inexplicably nervous at the thought of seeing Song Can. She worried that she would fall short and be criticized again. She would probably be sleepless again.

She wondered if there was discord in their dynamic. No matter how hard she tried and how well she performed, Song Can remained dissatisfied with her.

Because she was Shaoting's mother and her mother-in-law, she respected Song Can and tolerated everything she did.

She hoped that nothing would go wrong on her birthday this time. She prayed in her heart.

...

Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan went to work as usual the following day. The two parted ways in the parking lot, taking different elevators to their respective offices.

Gu Shaoting immediately called Secretary Zhang over as soon as he arrived at the office.
