“Cousin-in-law, what’s wrong?” Gu Huanhuan noticed her distracted demeanor and spoke up.

“Nothing,” Shu Pan said, though deep down she felt a bit unnerved.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was secretly watching her from the shadows.

The gaze she felt carried with it a sense of sorrow, anger, and resentment, making her feel particularly unsettled.

She felt like going back.

When she looked back again, she saw a familiar figure not far away. Was that the source of the gaze?

It had gradually faded from her mind, but encountering it again today brought back memories of the past.

Would she hate herself? Because she loved Gu Shaoting, perhaps she believed she had taken him away from someone else.

Huanhuan happened to spot a rising director, whose recent movie was quite popular, so she went over to say hello.

She initially invited Shu Pan along, fearing she might get lost, but Shu Pan politely declined.

She was there to meet people, not to join in the fun.

As Huanhuan walked away, the familiar yet unfamiliar figure approached her. Feeling a bit nervous at the sudden approach, Shu Pan wondered what she wanted.

“Are you doing well, Shu Pan?” It turned out to be Tong Fei, holding a glass of red wine, gently swaying it.

Her voice was as sweet as ever, even making another woman envious.

“I’m fine, thanks for your concern,” Shu Pan said coldly, not feeling there was anything worth discussing between them.

After all, they were once rivals in love.

“Shu Pan, do you think you can live happily after stealing someone else’s happiness?” Tong Fei sneered, her career plummeting due to this woman before her. She not only lost love but also struggled in her career.

Tonight, she pulled some strings to get an invitation, as many investors and directors were present, and she was seeking an opportunity to get close to them.

But seeing Shu Pan, she couldn’t help but approach and say a few words, just to ease her own mind.

Shu Pan really didn’t want to pay any attention to her.

She didn’t look at all like someone troubled by love; she was wearing a low-cut dress, revealing a swath of snow-white skin, her bosom seemingly about to burst forth.

Such a beauty was the prey of many men present, several of whom were staring at her intently.

“Ms. Tong, please watch your words. What do you mean by ‘stealing’?” Shu Pan couldn’t help but retort.

As she spoke, she glanced subtly at Tong Fei, her gaze fixed on her, and their eyes met.

“You know exactly what I mean,” Tong Fei responded defiantly. Seeing Shu Pan living increasingly well only made her more discontented.

Why was she so comfortable? If it weren’t for her appearance, stealing Gu Shaoting away, she might have been Mrs. Gu by now.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling even more frustrated by the comparison between her own miserable situation and Shu Pan’s success.

Shu Pan didn’t want to engage with her any longer. She had known all along that this person had a twisted mind. She turned to leave, but Tong Fei grabbed her.

“Why leave so soon? Won’t you exchange a few pleasantries with me?” Tong Fei said, her tone biting.

But Shu Pan had no intention of acknowledging her. She stared directly into her face and said, word by word, “Good dogs don’t block the way.”

Tong Fei was immediately furious, but to maintain decorum, she gritted her teeth and said, “Just you wait and see. Don’t get too cocky.”

Shu Pan frowned, her displeasure evident. She now regretted coming out tonight, feeling thoroughly disappointed.

Though there were many attendees at the banquet, most of them were savvy individuals, unlike the gossiping coworkers one often encountered..
