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

Upon hearing that her friend Jiajia would also be going, Shen Yao thought about it and agreed.

The meeting time is 3 PM, there's still time.

Shen Yao didn't want to cook, so she ordered takeout for lunch. After taking a nap, she casually put on some light makeup and then took a ride-hailing service to the place Lu Ning had arranged.

Lu Ning had booked a private room at a Chinese restaurant.

Upon entering, you are surrounded by mist, pavilions, and the sound of flowing water.

The restaurant's receptionist, dressed in a well-tailored cheongsam, smiled at her, revealing eight teeth.

"Hello, beautiful lady, have you made a reservation?"

Shen Yao nodded and gave the room number. The pretty receptionist, wearing high heels, led her to the room.

After thanking the receptionist, Shen Yao pushed open the door to the private room in front of her.

There was no deafening music or noisy people; what came into view was a huge Chinese-style screen.

I think I heard the sound of a door opening, and there were figures moving around behind the screen.

A moment later, Lu Ning appeared in front of Shen Yao. "Yao Yao, you're right on time. Come in quickly."

"Okay." Shen Yao and Lu Ning were quite familiar with each other because of Lu Jiajia, so she directly called her by her nickname.

Shen Yao was used to it. She smiled and nodded as she walked inside.

Just then, the door opened, and Shen Yao instinctively turned around to look, only to find a familiar figure in front of her.

With her delicate brows furrowed slightly, Shen Yao blurted out, "Mr. Gu, what brings you here?"

In Shen Yao's current memory, she and this man were not familiar with each other.

But this man showed up at her friend's banquet.

"Because I should have been here." It was Gu Tianyou who arranged to meet Shen Yao, but he couldn't find Shen Yao's current phone number, so he could only ask Lu Ning for it.

Unable to withstand his constant cold threats, Lu Ning decided to arrange a meeting place for him to see Shen Yao.

Seeing Gu Tianyou's expression, Lu Ning looked worried and quickly stepped between Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao, saying, "Let's all sit down and talk about it first."

Turning around, Lu Ning made another pleading gesture to Shen Yao.

Seeing Lu Ning's attitude, Shen Yao couldn't very well refuse him.

Carrying a long bag, she walked around the screen and went inside.

In front of me is a large bay window, and in front of the bay window is a sandalwood table with a very simple and exquisite tea set on it.

Shen Yao chose a seat by the window and sat down. Lu Ning then came over and poured her a cup of tea.

"Yaoyao, try some of the newly harvested Longjing tea."

Shen Yao thanked her and then asked when Lu Jiajia would arrive. She didn't want to face two men alone.

"She's on her way, but there's some traffic. It'll probably take her another fifteen minutes or so," Lu Ning said, glancing at his watch.

Gu Tianyou sat down in front of Shen Yao, placed his briefcase on the sofa, and his handsome face remained gloomy.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Shen Yao put down the cup, crossed her legs, and looked at Gu Tianyou indifferently, "Mr. Gu, did you ask to meet me because of yesterday's bidding?"

The woman's voice was clear, cold, slow, and rhythmic. Gu Tianyou stopped, his hand that was about to open the briefcase.

He raised his eyes, a look of surprise flashing across them, but it quickly turned cold and stern.

"Since you've already guessed why I'm here, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Gu Tianyou sat up straight and took out the documents he had carefully prepared from his briefcase, handing them to Shen Yao. "With the strength of the Gu family, we are fully capable of becoming a partner of Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd."
