Qin Zhen sent the deep-faked photos to Shu Pan and then to Charlene.
He soon received a call from Charlene.
âSo how, my dear? Are you satisfied?â Qin Zhen asked Charlene for credit because he had completed his task so smoothly.
âNot too bad. But howâs Brother Gu? Did Shu Pan call to make a big fuss after she received the photos?â Charlene asked anxiously; she couldnât wait to see Shu Panâs reaction.
âGu Shaoting called me to ask if I was the one who checked him into a hotel to sleep off his drunkenness. He sounded very calm so I donât think Shu Pan has told him yet.â Qin Zhen felt that if Shu Pan had called and made a big fuss, Gu Shaoting wouldnât be so calm.
Charlene immediately looked disappointed. She thought there would be big drama after the misunderstanding was created but Shu Pan seemed quite level-headed. She was able to keep cool even after her husband cheated on her. Charlene couldnât understand it. Was that the behavior of someone in love?
âIt probably isnât yet time for this to blow up. Letâs wait and see.â Charlene revealed a smug smile.
âMy dear, then the promise you made meâŠâ Qin Zhen asked tentatively.
âLetâs wait until itâs done. We still donât know if your plan worked.â Charlene said impatiently. This Qin Zhen was so annoying. She must have been possessed back then to like him. He sounded like a b*stardâŠ
She agreed to his request first. It was just dating. Having meals together, shopping, having coffee and the like. How difficult could that be?
Charlene was secretly very pleased with her strategy.
âAs long as you remember.â Qin Zhen chuckled.
Charlene couldnât help but roll her eyes. She hung up after saying a few more words.
Charlene finally had time to scroll through the photos. She was actually quite envious of Tong Fei for being so intimate with her Brother Gu.
The photos didnât look like deep fakes at all. Gu Shaoting and Tong Fei looked like a loving couple together.
Charlene didnât believe that Shu Pan would be indifferent to such photos.
But she got a little angry as she scrolled through the photos; Tong Fei had benefited from Qin Zhenâs scheme.

Gu Shaoting was almost done with his work. Based on his current progress, he should be able to go home in three days.
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to get a little peace.
It was after hours and everyone had left. Gu Shaoting walked out of his office and his first thought was to call Shu Pan.
Shu Pan was eating having dinner he called. She hesitated before she answered his call. âWhatâs up?â
She didnât say hello and her tone was indifferent.
âNothing. I just wanted to hear your voice.â Gu Shaoting ignored the coldness in her voice, chalking it up to his own oversensitivity.
âIf thereâs nothing else, bye. Iâm eating.â Joy and her grandpa were both eating with Shu Pan, so she didnât want to say anything. She was worried that she wouldnât be able to resist confronting him.
Gu Shaoting frowned. If he still didnât notice that something was off, he would be a terrible husband to Shu Pan.
âHoney, whatâs wrong? Did something happen?â Gu Shaoting asked gently.
âNothingâs wrong. Take care of yourself when youâre away from home.â Shu Pan frowned too.
Shu Pan paused after she said that. She felt that she was quite amazing to say words of concern to him at a time like this.
It was true that with more bad experiences, oneâs ability to pretend and lie came naturally.
Gu Shaoting smiled. Shu Pan still cared very much about him. He had been oversensitive.
âIâm driving, so itâs not convenient to chat. Letâs talk another time?â
âOkay, Iâll call you after dinner.â
âOkay.â
After that, the two of them hung up.
