Chapter 593  : Song Can’s attitude

Most of the relatives and friends had left, leaving only close relatives like Shu Laide and Song Can.

For dinner, they planned to have a meal together as two families. It was their first time sitting together since their children got married.

Shu Laide was happy and tried to engage Song Can in conversation. Unfortunately, Song Can remained with a stern expression, as if someone owed her millions.

Seeing this, Shu Laide felt uneasy.

Was her son’s wife being treated this way because Song Can didn’t approve of her daughter-in-law? Otherwise, why would she act like this?

Shu Laide had always known that Shaoting’s mother didn’t like Shu Pan, but he hadn’t realized it was to this extent, refusing even to put on a facade.

He couldn’t help but worry. Was his daughter truly happy in such a family? Even with her husband’s love, with such an attitude from her mother-in-law…

The more Shu Laide thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, furrowing his brow.

Shu Pan had seen everything her father was feeling, and she felt guilty for causing him such worry.

She usually kept her troubles to herself, and she only mentioned Song Can briefly, not telling him how she truly felt, as if Song Can were invisible.

Sigh! It was helpless. She had grown accustomed to Song Can’s indifference over time.

But now, seeing her father’s expression, she felt inexplicably sad.

Gu Shaoting was infuriated by his mother’s attitude towards his father-in-law and wife. He couldn’t understand why, even after they got married, she refused to accept Shu Pan.

What was she holding on to? Shu Pan had always been polite to her, despite not being from the same background as the people she preferred.

But one’s birth couldn’t be chosen. Besides, with his current financial status, they didn’t need anyone to add to their fortune.

He felt it was necessary to have a talk with her. How would his father-in-law view him now? He had sworn to him that he would treat his daughter well and make her happy, but now his own mother was causing trouble for her.

However, he couldn’t make the situation too awkward. He smiled at Shu Laide and said, “Dad, we might need a few more days here. We’ll leave Joy in your care.”

“No problem, it’s rare for you to visit. Have fun while you’re here, and we’ll take good care of Joy,” Shu Laide replied, looking at the well-behaved Joy.

“Why don’t I take Joy? I have some free time anyway,” Song Can interjected upon hearing Gu Shaoting’s words.

“No need,” Gu Shaoting replied nonchalantly.

Song Can’s expression instantly darkened, feeling quite unhappy. What did he mean?

She was the child’s grandmother, wasn’t she better suited than an outsider? Now everyone was so capable, huh, did they still see her as anything?

“I’m the child’s grandmother, why can’t I take care of her? Is there a problem?” Song Can seemed to be picking a fight with Gu Shaoting.

“You usually spend little time with the child. It’s okay for a short while, but for a few days, you definitely won’t be able to handle it,” Gu Shaoting’s reasoning seemed hard to argue against.

Song Can suppressed her anger. He had a point. Taking care of a child would restrict her.

Shu Pan stole a glance at Gu Shaoting, then gently nudged him under the table with her foot, hoping he would speak more politely and not provoke Song Can. After all, she was his mother.

Gu Shaoting glanced at her and then lightly held her hand under the table, unnoticed by anyone.

Shu Pan’s face flushed instantly. She glared at him. Was he always so oblivious to the situation?
