Shu Pan found it difficult to adapt to such occasions where people were hypocritical, showing harmony on the surface while engaging in backstabbing behind the scenes.

Glancing around, she realized she didn’t know anyone. Since she wasn’t keen on watching TV, she couldn’t recognize any of the celebrities or actors present. Not being a fan of celebrities, she felt lonely here and started to miss her daughter and husband.

Unable to resist, she pulled out her phone and called Gu Shaoting. After a while, he answered, “Is Joy asleep?”

Not wanting to admit she missed him, she used Joy as an excuse. ‘Yes, she’s asleep. I’m chatting with He Ming on the balcony.”

“Okay,” she sighed inwardly. What a dead-end conversation.

“When will you be back? Is Huanhuan causing trouble?” Gu Shaoting asked when he noticed she didn’t continue speaking.

“I’m not sure yet. Huanhuan is chatting with some friends,” Shu Pan replied, her tone sounding somewhat forlorn.

Gu Shaoting knew Huanhuan wasn’t reliable; she had left her cousin-in-law alone.

“Wait there; I’ll come to pick you up,” Gu Shaoting decided, realizing He Ming was there and could look after Joy. He was worried that if Joy woke up and found nobody at home, she might get scared.

“It’s not appropriate. The event hasn’t ended yet, and I promised to accompany Huanhuan,” Shu Pan protested.

“It’s fine. I’ll wait outside for you,” Gu Shaoting said before informing He Ming and leaving with his car keys.

Shu Pan shrugged helplessly. It seemed Gu Shaoting’s decisions were difficult to change.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan suddenly felt overheated. She took another sip of champagne, but it only seemed to make her feel hotter.

In the crowd, Tong Fei couldn’t help but smirk when she saw Shu Pan taking a few sips from her glass, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.

Originally, the drink was prepared for a famous director; she wanted a role in one of his movies. But now, Shu Pan was benefitting from it. Thinking about what was going to happen next, Tong Fei felt like bursting into laughter. “How long can you remain arrogant? If you become a wilted flower, will Gu Shaoting still want you?”

Of course, she had already arranged the male lead, a well-known figure in the industry infamous for his inappropriate behavior. She had suffered at his hands before. Once, for an endorsement, he had taken advantage of her, and on another occasion, he had drugged her, tormenting her all night long. The thought of those incidents still sent shivers down her spine. Seeing him today, he was the first person that came to mind.

As Tong Fei kept an eye on Shu Pan, she also watched the male lead. Seeing Shu Pan touch her forehead and then stand up, looking around, presumably searching for the restroom, Tong Fei instructed someone nearby to inform her.

Then Tong Fei approached the middle-aged man addressed as President Yang. He had a protruding belly and chubby fingers that seemed like they were about to ooze oil.

“President Yang, how have you been?” Tong Fei greeted him. “It’s been a while. Why haven’t you contacted me lately? Have you forgotten about me?”

President Yang grinned, attempting to shake Tong Fei’s hand. However, Tong Fei skillfully avoided it.

“Of course I remember you. Whenever something good happens, you’re the first person I think of,” Tong Fei flattered him.

President Yang chuckled, “Hehe, then how about joining me for a drink later?”

Who was Tong Fei? How could she not sense his ulterior motives? But she wasn’t naive. President Yang currently had no useful projects for her, but maintaining good relations was still important. So, she had already prepared some sweeteners for him..
