Chapter 250: Headline News
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The headline on the entertainment news the following day was “Cinderella snagged the CEO of Gu Group and banished Tong Fei.”
The headline attracted everyone’s attention the moment it was published.
The report mentioned that Gu Shaoting had an illegitimate daughter who was already a few years old. She had never appeared in the public eye before because the child’s mother had given birth to her in secret without informing Gu Shaoting. Now that she was no longer a baby and reunited with Gu Shaoting, her mother could finally live a good life because of her.
Hence, Cinderella had successfully risen to power using her daughter, won back her lost love and conquered the tycoon.
It was expected that Tong Fei would be banished because for most men, their children were their Archilles’ heel. Gu Shaoting was one of them.
Shu Pan’s eyes widened as she read the article. It was unbelievable. The reporters were really good at making things up.
Fortunately, the photo in the news article was a shot of Shu Pan’s profile. Even people who knew her might not recognize that it was her.
Shu Pan was in deep regret now. She knew that nothing good would come out of having Gu Shaoting back in her life.
Just look at this news article. Even television scriptwriters couldn’t make up such a story.
How resourceful were these reporters?
Shu Pan felt her anger boiling over. She picked up her phone and called Gu Shaoting.
“Did you read today’s entertainment news?” Shu Pan could not suppress her frustration.
“I’m not interested in those things.” Gu Shaoting replied plainly.
“You must read today’s entertainment news because you are the main character. Please settle your own love debt and not drag me into it. The reporters are on to you. Please stay away from us for the time being.”
Shu Pan was furious. What kind of nonsense did these reporters make up?
Although she had secretly given birth to her daughter, she did not use Joy to elevate her social status.
In the article, she was portrayed as a scheming b*tch who plotted against men.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before he said, “It’s enough that I know you’re not the kind of person they make you out to be.
Why care about what others say?”
“I don’t even know how to face people anymore.” Shu Pan felt that she wasn’t as Zen as Gu Shaoting made her out to be. She couldn’t imagine a life in which she’d be gossiped about all the time.
Gu Shaoting didn’t say more but changed the subject, “I won’t let you suffer.” Gu Shaoting meant what he said.
After he hung up, he immediately called Tong Fei. As soon as the call connected, he went straight to the point.
“Tong Fei, you have two options now. Either you clarify the misinformation, or
I will.”
Tong Fei was very happy to get a call from Gu Shaoting but she didn’t expect him to call her about this.
Tong Fei immediately forced out a few drops of tears. “Shaoting, why are you treating me like this? If you like children, I can give you children too.”
Tong Fei was still trying to salvage their relationship, unwilling to give him up. Who gave Shu Pan the right to tie Gu Shaoting up with a child?
She was regretting now why she didn’t secretly get pregnant with Gu Shaoting’s child.
But such regrets were useless now. Things had already come to this and worse of all, Gu Shaoting’s attitude toward her.
She was heartbroken.
“Tong Fei, you know that it’s never because of children. I like Joy, but that’s not the reason why I broke up with you.”
Gu Shaoting didn’t want to be too blunt. The real reason was that he didn’t love her.
“I’m sorry for the hurt I’ve caused you. If you need any help, just ask. I’ll say it again. I’ll do anything within my ability to help you, but I don’t want another news article like this to appear.”
Gu Shaoting used both the carrot and the stick. He believed that Tong Fei was a smart person and would make the right choice..
