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

The man on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a long pause, he chuckled softly, "That's enough, don't go too far. From your description, it seems this woman has experienced some painful stories in the past."

Chu Yao looked in the direction where the woman was gradually disappearing and said, "It seems so, but I've already listed her as my prey, how can I let her go so easily?"

The man took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Well, I can only wish that woman good luck."

Back in the apartment, as soon as she opened the door, Mimi came over meowing and rubbed against Shen Yao's leg.

Shen Yao had been quite busy recently, so she boarded her cat at a pet store and only recently picked it up.

Feeling the cat's affectionate rubbing against her, Shen Yao's heart slowly softened.

After she finished washing up, she saw three missed calls.

Her originally dim eyes gradually brightened.

"Jiajia, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"How dare you say that! I had to ask several people to find your contact information! Why did you suddenly change the number you've been using for so long?"

"I divorced Gu Tianyou, and I changed my phone number in a fit of anger. After that, a lot of things happened, but I forgot to tell you."

"You've finally agreed to divorce Gu Tianyou! We must have a big celebration tomorrow night!"

Lu Jiajia was the first true friend Shen Yao made after coming to the Gu family.

She is righteous and hates evil, and like Shen Yao, she can't stand Ye Yingying's hypocrisy and manipulative nature.

After graduating from high school, I went to study in the United States with Shen Yao.

Shen Yao studies medicine, while Lu Jiajia studies business management.

After graduating with her master's degree, Shen Yao chose to return to China, marry Gu Tianyou, and become a housewife.

Lu Jiajia, on the other hand, stayed abroad to pursue her doctoral studies.

After countless sleepless nights, Lu Jiajia finally passed her doctoral dissertation and graduated smoothly.

The first thing she did after graduating and returning to China was to find Shen Yao.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao changed her number, which made her very anxious.

Fortunately, they eventually found Shen Yao's contact information.

“We should definitely celebrate, but tomorrow night is the Gu family’s banquet, and Grandpa wants me to go back too.” Shen Yao certainly wanted to see Lu Jiajia.

However, she had already promised Grandpa Gu in advance, and she didn't want to upset him.

"You've already divorced Tianyou, won't you feel awkward attending the Gu family's banquet? Don't go!" Lu Jiajia suggested to Shen Yao.

She had long disliked Gu Tianyou's arrogant attitude towards Shen Yao.

Hearing that they got married now, I'm overjoyed and hope my friend will never have any contact with this man again.

Therefore, upon hearing that Shen Yao was divorced but still wanted to attend the Gu family's banquet, she immediately expressed her opposition.

Shen Yao was well aware of this.

However, on that day, Old Master Gu practically begged Shen Yao.

“Yaoyao, I know it will be painful for you to see Tianyou again. But Grandpa has something important to give you personally. You must come then.”

Faced with Old Master Gu's earnest request, Shen Yao could not refuse and had no choice but to agree.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiajia also frowned.

After a long silence, she came up with an idea.

“Yaoyao, I’ll go with you. Anyway, the Gu family and the Lu family have always had a good relationship. The Gu family always invites the Lu family to their family banquets.”

"Is this alright?" Shen Yao wasn't sure if the Gu family had invited other members of Shenzhen's upper class to this family banquet.
