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

Shen Yao's hand tightened involuntarily as she gripped her phone.

Her heart was pounding violently in her chest. Shen Yao pressed her hand to her chest and tried to move the muscles on her face to smile.

"Okay, Grandpa." It was still a well-behaved voice.

Hearing her agree, Grandpa Gu hung up the phone with relief.

Lu Jiajia arrived soon after and noticed that Shen Yao's complexion was off, so she quickly asked if she was feeling unwell.

Shen Yao shook her head, sat in the car, and said wearily, "Grandpa just called me and reminded me that I must go over tonight."

Lu Jiajia reached out and grasped Shen Yao's hand, "With me here, if Ye Yingying bullies you again, I will definitely stand up for you!"

"Okay," Shen Yao said with a smile, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"Cheer up, I'm going to make you look beautiful tonight," Lu Jiajia said softly, sensing that Shen Yao was in a bad mood.

While trying on clothes, Lu Jiajia kept asking people to bring Shen Yao bright and beautiful evening gowns. Shen Yao refused them all, choosing only a low-key light-colored fishtail dress.

Although understated, the outfit still accentuated Shen Yao's slender figure, graceful posture, and elegant demeanor.

Shen Yao arrived at the Gu family's old house at 7:50 a.m., as agreed by Grandpa Gu.

As soon as she got out of the car, Grandpa Gu came over, smiling and extending his hand, "Yaoyao, come here, come to my side."

Lu Jiajia laughed and said, "Grandpa Gu, I'm so big standing behind Shen Yao, how come you didn't see me!"

Grandpa Gu's attention was entirely on Shen Yao, and he didn't notice Lu Jiajia behind her.

After being teased by Lu Jiajia, Grandpa Gu laughed heartily, "Oh, it's Jiajia. Come, come over here too."

Lu Jiajia, without any hesitation, took Old Master Gu's other arm.

An old man and two young men walked forward side by side.

The guests who arrived early all greeted Mr. Gu warmly.

"Grandpa Gu, you are so blessed to have a granddaughter like Yao Yao and a clever little devil like Jia Jia!"

"Haha, my granddaughter is more considerate than my grandson, she's my little darling! I wouldn't mind having more of her."

Grandpa Gu first squeezed Shen Yao's hand tightly, then gave Lu Jiajia a gentle smile, creating a very warm scene.

Grandpa Gu was a very punctual person, so all the Gu family members and guests who received the invitations arrived at the banquet on time.

At 8:30 p.m., everyone took their seats according to their positions at the table.

The servants began serving the food.

After all the dishes were served, Grandpa Gu stood up and thanked everyone for coming.

Keen-eyed people noticed that the seat to the right of Old Master Gu was empty; Gu Tianyou should have been sitting there.

"Old Master, why isn't Young Master Gu here?" someone asked deliberately.

Most of the people who came today are surnamed Gu, and they all hold different positions in the Gu Group, as well as own a certain number of shares.

I heard that the reason why Old Master Gu held this banquet was to redistribute the shares of the Gu Group.

Therefore, those who have always coveted the position of chairman of the Gu Group are naturally keeping a close eye on Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou was originally a filial son, but over the past three years, outsiders have clearly felt that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson has gradually become more and more distant and cold.

Rumors circulated that Gu Tianyou didn't even visit his grandfather once a year.

In a fit of anger, Old Master Gu reduced Gu Tianyou's shareholding from 70% to 40%.

Now, everyone present is watching to see who Old Master Gu will give the remaining 30%.
