Song Can was genuinely stunned by Gu Shaoting’s words and took a long time to regain her composure.
“You have a daughter with Shu Pan? It’s unbelievable. Where is the child?” Song Can eagerly asked, wanting to see the child as soon as possible.
“Along with her mother,” Gu Shaoting said matter-of-factly.
Song Can’s frown deepened, and she exclaimed, “How can we leave the care of a child from the Gu family to an outsider?”
At the same time, while saying this, she noticed Tong Fei sitting next to her. Tong Fei had a heavy expression and didn’t utter a word. Song Can thought, “This is not good. In front of Tong Fei, who would want to be a stepmother?”
“Mom, she’s the child’s mother after all. Let’s take it slowly, you mustn’t act recklesslv,” Gu Shaotinq worried that Sonq Can might mess evervthinq up.
Given Song Can’s personality, she was capable of anything.
“Don’t worry, I understand. Do you have any pictures of the child? I’d like to see,” Song Can said, not letting go of the topic about the child.
Gu Shaoting opened his phone’s gallery, selected a photo, and handed it to Song Can.
Taking the photo, Song Can examined it closely. “Oh, isn’t this the little girl I bumped into at the mall that day? At the time, I thought she looked a lot like you. It turns out she’s your daughter. What a remarkable coincidence,” Song Can couldn’t help but marvel at destiny’s arrangement.
She was extremely happy inside, but she maintained a calm demeanor.
Tong Fei, seeing their reactions, felt a wave of fear in her heart. She was worried that all her previous efforts would be in vain.
After a long pause, she spoke in despair, “Shaoting, let’s recognize Joy a bit later, alright?” She suddenly grabbed Gu Shaoting’s hand tightly and continued, “Let’s get married.”
She didn’t even dare to ask if he had fallen in love with Shu Pan or why he was so concerned about the child. She had never seen him care so much about a child.
Gu Shaoting looked at her, furrowing his brow, and his eyes turned icy.
“Let’s discuss marriage later,” Gu Shaoting’s tone was cold. He had no mental capacity for discussing marriage at the moment. More importantly, he seemed to genuinely reject the idea of marrying Tong Fei.
Tong Fei was taken aback, but she had anticipated this response. She sat there like a statue, unmoving.
Song Can was a woman of action. The next day, she quietly went to the kindergarten where Joy was enrolled. She ignored Gu Shaoting’s advice. She wanted to see Joy as soon as possible.
At the kindergarten’s entrance, she stood on her tiptoes and strained to see inside.
Because it was morning, the children were doing exercises on the playground. She glanced multiple times and finally spotted Joy bouncing around in the middle. Her heart melted.
She truly wanted to tell Joy, “I’m your grandmother,” but she held back to avoid scaring the child.
Standing at the entrance, she couldn’t get enough of watching Joy.
Once back home, she immediately called Gu Shaoting. “You should quickly contact Shu Pan and have Joy recognize her roots. Our Gu family’s descendants shouldn’t be left suffering outside.”
She had a determined tone, and Gu Shaoting felt a headache coming on. “Mom, didn’t I tell you not to act recklessly?”
“What’s wrong with that? Joy is already a Gu by name. You need to handle this matter as soon as possible,” Song Can felt she couldn’t wait any longer.
She thanked her lucky stars that she finally had a granddaughter. She had been waiting for this day for too long. Originally, she had reservations about Shu Pan, but now, seeing Joy, she felt a sense of gratitude. She was thankful that Shu Pan had given birth to Joy..
