After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Huangfuhao casually patted his suit jacket, got into the driver's seat of the G-Class, and quickly started the car.

Just as Gu Tianyou was about to get up and chase after him, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.

When Huangfuhao left, assistant Chen Jie hurriedly came over to help Gu Tianyou up and then showered him with concern.

"Mr. Gu, are you alright?"

Gu Tianyou clutched his abdomen with his right hand, his brows furrowed, his eyes following the G-Class until it was completely out of sight. Only then did he abruptly turn and glare at Chen Jie.

Where the hell were you just now?

Chen Jie looked aggrieved and stammered, "President Gu, the other party is the eldest young master of the Huangfu family. I'm just an ordinary citizen and can't afford to offend him."

Gu Tianyou, pale-faced, waved his hand and said, "Let's have a meeting."

The headquarters of the Gu family, Jinghua Building, and the headquarters of the Huangfu family, Baorong Building, are both located in Nanshan CBD of Shenzhen.

In this prime location where land is extremely valuable, the two companies' buildings occupy almost half of the CBD area, creating a situation of two dragons vying for dominance.

Although Shen Yao is the adopted granddaughter of Old Master Gu, she never participates in any work management of the Gu Group. In addition, Gu Tianyou has always intentionally concealed the fact that Shen Yao is his wife, so Shen Yao does not know that the Gu family headquarters is located in the CBD of Nanshan.

That's why what just happened occurred.

After Gu Tianyou sat down in the conference room, the executives saw that his face was gloomy and pale. They all wanted to ask him if he was feeling unwell, but they didn't dare to ask.

After the meeting, Gu Tianyou was sweating profusely due to persistent abdominal pain.

Chen Jie quickly stepped forward to support him, "President Gu, you look terrible. Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Gu Tianyou gritted his teeth, glanced at the time, and said, "I have to go to a social event later, let's talk about it later."

The Spinner Hotel is a luxury hotel in Shenzhen that integrates accommodation, dining, fitness, medical care, shopping, business meetings and other functions.

Huangfuhao immediately requested a VIP room upon arrival.

When Shen Yao saw the six-figure price tag, she refused and chose a seat in the lobby instead.

Huangfuhao knew that she didn't want to spend money, so he agreed to book two tables in the lobby.

The two chatted as they waited for the rest of the group to arrive.

Besides celebrating Shen Yao's return to single life, this banquet also had another purpose: to help Shen Yao get to know her research team colleagues as soon as possible.

Once everyone had arrived, Huangfu Hao instructed the waiter to serve the dishes. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, he briefly introduced Shen Yao's situation.

"A top student from Harvard Medical School, she is skilled in craniotomy and cardiothoracic surgery. A couple of years ago, a high-ranking official suffered a sudden heart attack during a meeting, and it was she who saved him."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment.

At first, when they met Shen Yao, they underestimated her somewhat.

After all, Shen Yao looks young, while almost everyone on their team is a professor over 35.

So, at first glance, Huangfuhao was introducing a young girl, and although everyone was polite on the surface, they were actually somewhat disdainful in their hearts.

Hearing Huangfu Hao introduce Shen Yao in this way, everyone's eyes flashed with surprise, and their gazes toward her again carried a hint of newfound respect.

They were all intellectuals and professionals, and without much ulterior motives, they immediately opened up to each other over drinks and casual conversation.

"Xiao Shen, welcome to our team!"

"Yes, welcome! Let's cheer each other on!"

Of course, some people did not welcome Shen Yao's joining.

"You must keep up the good work, don't hold us back." A middle-aged man wearing dark-rimmed glasses suddenly said this.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Mr. Gu, the private room for the business dinner is on the 6th floor." Chen Jie led Gu Tianyou to the door with familiarity.

Although Gu Tianyou was not feeling well, he walked with a calm demeanor, and no one could tell that his stomach was cramping in waves unless they looked closely.

He strode through the lobby and suddenly heard bursts of laughter coming from two booths not far away.

He didn't like watching the excitement, and was about to continue walking forward when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

The woman had styled her long, seaweed-like hair into a casually elegant mess, and was raising a wine glass to drink with a handsome, wicked man.

Meanwhile, a group of men and women were calling out nearby.

During the pushing and shoving, the woman accidentally got some white cake and dessert from the table on her face.

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up slightly and pointed with the pad of his right finger at the cake stuck to the woman's face.

The woman groped around with her hands and found the cake, then wiped it away with a tissue.

The two exchanged a smile, and the people around them started to cheer.

Gu Tianyou didn't know how he got to the woman, but when he spoke, he felt that her voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar.

It was a voice filled with extreme anger, repression, and a deep, cold tone, as cold as winter.

"Shen Yao, you seem very happy after the divorce!"

Gu Tianyou's voice wasn't loud, but everyone around him could hear it clearly.

The man wearing dark-rimmed glasses seemed to have gleaned some important information upon hearing this. He coldly curled his lips and said, "So, Dr. Shen is divorced. I didn't realize she was so young!"

Shen Yao never expected that Gu Tianyou would be so persistent.

Seeing the joyful atmosphere suddenly freeze and become heavy because of Gu Tianyou's appearance, she had no choice but to stand up and say, "Let's talk somewhere else."

“Great, that’s exactly what I was thinking!” Gu Tianyou followed behind Shen Yao.

Huangfu Hao caught up with Shen Yao and asked, "I'll go with you."

Gu Tianyou immediately turned around, pointed at him, and angrily rebuked, "Young Master Huangfu, this is a matter between Yao Yao and me. You, an outsider, should not interfere!"

Huangfuhao shrugged, and instead of backing down, he took a big step forward. "President Gu, you're divorced now. To Shen Yao, you're an outsider, and a very annoying one at that."

When Shen Yao saw Huangfu Hao following, she gently advised him.

"This is between him and me. I don't want to involve you. Go back and wait for me."

"No, I'll go with you," Huangfuhao insisted.

Although Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou are divorced, they have been childhood sweethearts and have accompanied each other for so many years. Is it really possible for them to break up so easily?

Thinking this, Huangfu Hao quickened his pace to catch up with them.

But Gu Tianyou didn't want such a third wheel around, so he turned around and chased him away again.

Shen Yao didn't want things to escalate, so she could only ask Huangfu Hao to leave, promising him that she would protect herself and call him if anything happened, before finally getting rid of him.

Gu Tianyou was feeling smug, but when he reached a deserted corner staircase, Shen Yao's face darkened completely, and she didn't give him a friendly look.

She crossed her arms and asked impatiently, "Gu Tianyou, what exactly do you want?"

Gu Tianyou was overjoyed to finally be able to speak with Shen Yao again.

But when he heard the woman's cold and rude tone, his happiness vanished instantly, and the pain in his abdomen returned.

He clutched his stomach, slowly bent over, and murmured, "Shen Yao, my stomach hurts."
