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

Watching the woman gradually distance herself from him, guarding against him as if he were a tiger, Gu Tianyou felt inexplicably irritated.

Ignoring the woman's warnings, Gu Tianyou pressed on relentlessly.

"Shen Yao, what other outrageous things are you planning to do? Didn't you do enough outrageous things back then when you were pursuing me?"

As the man's face drew ever closer, Shen Yao took a deep breath, her slender hands forming fists.

A streak of light flashed through the air, and Gu Tianyou felt a blur before his eyes.

He groaned, feeling a burning sensation on his left cheek.

Gu Tianyou covered his face in pain, looking at Shen Yao in disbelief, "How dare you slap me?"

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the man. "Yes, I'm going to slap you in the face. I warned you many times, but you still wouldn't listen. I have to make you come to your senses."

"You!?" Gu Tianyou was furious.

But just as his anger rose to his throat, he had to swallow it back down.

In his mind, the conversation between Grandpa Gu and himself came back to mind.

“Shen Yao is Mr. Wang’s descendant. Back then, after Mr. Wang’s family fell on hard times, I was busy with business and didn’t pay attention to the situation in time. By the time I found out, Mr. Wang’s only son had also committed suicide by jumping off a building. Later, I found out that Mr. Wang’s son seemed to have been dating a female college student before he died. The female college student got pregnant with his child, but suddenly disappeared… After going through many hardships, I finally found Mr. Wang’s descendant at the orphanage.”

"So, Shen Yao is Mr. Wang's granddaughter?" Gu Tianyou asked incredulously, feeling that it sounded like a fabrication.

However, Old Master Gu's serious expression told him that it was all true.

"Yes, Shen Yao is the only descendant of the Wang family. Back then, the Wang family's prestige in Shenzhen was unmatched. The Gu Group's development was also due to the Wang family's help and support, which allowed it to reach its current position step by step. It's no exaggeration to say that without Mr. Wang's generosity, the Gu Group wouldn't be where it is today. Moreover, half of the Gu Group's shares originally belonged to the Wang family!"

Old Master Gu stared at Gu Tianyou with a cold smile and said slowly, "So, you still think that it was wrong of me to say that I would give 20% of the shares to Shen Yao?"

"Yes, I did use the adoption of Shen Yao to create hype back then, in order to salvage the Gu family's reputation. I feel very guilty about it. That's why I want to make it up to her even more, do you understand?"

While recounting the events of that year to Gu Tianyou, Old Master Gu expressed his remorse and self-blame.

Back then, the media gave extensive coverage to his adoption of Shen Yao and his donations to orphanages.

Because of this series of actions, Gu's public relations image has gradually improved.

In adopting Shen Yao, Old Master Gu's intentions could not be described as pure; in fact, they were clearly driven by a desire to exploit her.

Because the adoption caused such a sensation back then, even though Shen Yao attended a prestigious school, she was still talked about behind her back.

Although Grandpa Gu used his influence to try his best to prevent Shen Yao from being bullied at school, he still couldn't make up for the emotional damage he had caused her.

Even so, Shen Yao remained deeply grateful to Grandpa Gu and never complained. It was precisely because of this that Grandpa Gu felt even more that Shen Yao was a good child.

Gu Tianyou's thoughts slowly returned to reality.

He looked at the woman in front of him and said in a gentle tone, "Grandpa, I want to see you."
