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

Hearing Gu Tianyou's harsh words, Shen Yao felt as if she were about to collapse.

The deepest scar buried in her heart is her background.

For so many years, chasing after Gu Tianyou, who was as dazzling as the sun, Shen Yao repeatedly deceived herself, believing that the fairy tale of Cinderella marrying the prince in Korean dramas would happen to her.

But after she actually married Gu Tianyou, she truly understood how bitter a forced marriage could be.

The closer Shen Yao got to Gu Tianyou, the more inferior and hurt she felt.

Now that Gu Tianyou has said these words so bluntly, Shen Yao feels like she has been stripped naked and thrown into the street, feeling helpless, scared, and indignant.

"Yes, I come from a humble background, I don't have powerful parents, I'm just an abandoned orphan! I accept it all, okay?"

After saying this, Shen Yao was already in tears.

For so many years, Shen Yao never dared to admit her identity to Gu Tianyou.

Speaking it out now felt like having a wound from years ago ripped open, and she hugged herself tightly, feeling uneasy.

As Gu Tianyou watched the woman weep uncontrollably, her eyes red and swollen from crying, he suddenly felt that he might have gone too far.

Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.

He had no way to take it back.

He can't bring himself to apologize.

"You know that's good. Come here and come home with me." Gu Tianyou tried to approach Shen Yao, but Shen Yao retreated even further.

"Hmph, Gu Tianyou, since you think I'm so lowly and inferior to you, why bother sending me back? Are you just here to make fun of me every day?"

Shen Yao had retreated to a dead corner in the living room.

Gu Tianyou was about to continue forward when Shen Yao picked up her phone and held it up to him.

"Don't come any closer."

Upon seeing "110" displayed on Shen Yao's screen, Gu Tianyou frowned. "Are you going to call the police again?"

"Isn't it right for me to call the police? You came uninvited in the middle of the night and broke into my home without permission; that's illegal!"

Gu Tianyou didn't believe Shen Yao would actually dare to call the police.

After all, there's still Old Master Gu between them.

During this time, Gu Tianyou finally realized that Shen Yao was very stubborn, and only Grandpa Gu seemed to be able to control her.

"If you call the police and have me arrested, will Grandpa agree? Can you bear to see Grandpa heartbroken?"

"Of course I can't bear to see Grandpa sad, but if he knew what you've done to me these past few days, he would understand me! Gu Tianyou, please leave my house right now!"

"You're driving me away?"

"Yes, you are not welcome here!"

As anger gradually gained the upper hand, Shen Yao's boundless courage slowly seeped into her very bones.

"What if I don't leave?"

Seeing the disgust in Shen Yao's eyes, Gu Tianyou felt a surge of anger coursing through his body.

He strode to the back of the sofa, intending to pull the woman out.

His well-defined knuckles were about to touch the woman's shoulder when she deftly dodged it.

"Come here!" Gu Tianyou strode toward the woman, letting out a low growl.

With nowhere to hide, Shen Yao grabbed a cushion and threw it at Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou yanked the pillow off his face and was about to reach out to grab Shen Yao when a sharp pain suddenly shot through his abdomen.

Shen Yao withdrew her foot from Gu Tianyou's stomach, and before Gu Tianyou could react, she grabbed his collar and dragged him to the door in one go.

"Don't bother me anymore!"

After pushing Gu Tianyou out the door, Shen Yao immediately closed it.
