Shen Yao looked at the message on WeChat and replied with a single word, "Okay."

Gu Tianyou held his phone and saw that the woman had only replied with a single word, and his brows furrowed slightly.

His hand, with its distinct knuckles, gripped the phone tightly.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ye's mother has arrived." Chen Jie knocked on the office door and bowed respectfully to Gu Tianyou.

"Why is she here?" Gu Tianyou put his phone away and locked the screen. "Let her in."

"Yes, Mr. Gu." Chen Jie turned and left, and after a while, he came in with a middle-aged lady.

Chen Jie pointed to the chair in front of Gu Tianyou, "Auntie, please sit here."

Gao Yunyan tilted her head back, her exquisitely made-up face showing displeasure. She pointed at Chen Jie with her white-gloved hand: "What did you call me?"

Chen Jie was taken aback, blinked, and said, "Auntie...."

“Your whole family are aunties!” Gao Yunyan raised her hand and slapped him directly on the head.

Chen Jie covered his head, looking aggrieved.

Gu Tianyou gestured with his chin, signaling him to leave.

Chen Jie didn't dare to complain. He bowed to Gu Tianyou and Gao Yunyan again before leaving the office.

Gu Tianyou remained seated in his chair, never getting up, a faint smile playing on his handsome face.

"Mrs. Ye, please have a seat."

"Mr. Gu, I won't sit down. I'll just say a few words and then leave." Gao Yunyan stood in front of Gu Tianyou, her chin slightly raised, her eyes carrying a hint of arrogance.

Gu Tianyou saw this but remained silent, nodding and gesturing for him to speak.

"Mr. Gu, you've known my Yingying for so many years. Before, you couldn't marry Yingying because of Shen Yao. Now that you're single, you can finally marry her, right?"

"Are you finished, Mrs. Ye?" Gu Tianyou crossed his legs, resting his chin on his wrist, which was adorned with an expensive watch.

Seeing that Gu Tianyou remained indifferent throughout, Gao Yunyan's fake smile gradually froze.

In particular, the aura of nobility and unapproachability emanating from the man gradually became irresistible to her.

Gao Yunyan raised her chin slightly, adopting the arrogant posture of a noblewoman, "Now that you've finished speaking, give my daughter an explanation as soon as possible."

Gu Tianyou nodded, put his legs down again, crossed his arms, and his handsome face remained unsmiling.

"Mrs. Ye, this is a private matter, and I'm not at liberty to answer you. If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"Tianyou, how could you do this? Yingying was crippled because of your ex-wife. Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

"That's why I'll be there for Yingying whenever she needs me, even if Shen Yao misunderstands me as having an extramarital affair!"

"Anyway, you and Yingying were both willing..."

Gu Tianyou picked up the landline on the table and dialed the company's internal number directly.

"Chen Jie, see Mrs. Ye out."

"Mr. Gu, you can't do this! I haven't finished speaking!" Mrs. Ye panicked when she saw that Gu Tianyou was trying to get rid of her, and plopped down in a chair.

Gu Tianyou ignored him, got up, picked up his coat, and walked out of the office.

Seeing that he was really about to leave, Gao Yunyan hurriedly called out, "Mr. Gu, is this how your Gu family treats its guests?"

Gu Tianyou paused slightly at the door, then said without turning his head, "I'm going to teach Shen Yao a lesson now. I haven't forgotten that she owes Yingying an apology. Mrs. Ye, all these years, I can say with a clear conscience that I have done right by Yingying!"
