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

Hearing that familiar voice, Ye Yingying felt much more at ease.

Turning her head, she glanced at Shen Yao seemingly casually out of the corner of her eye, then called out in a tearful voice, "Mom!"

A middle-aged woman dressed in very expensive clothes, wearing high heels, walked in with a very rhythmic gait.

However, she did not go to Ye Yingying's side immediately, but walked straight towards Shen Yao.

Shen Yao's heart leaped into her throat.

At the same time, the meaningful look Ye Yingying had given her earlier flashed through her mind, and her heart skipped a beat. An ominous premonition, like an undercurrent, quietly welled up in her heart.

"Snapped!"

A loud and clear sound rang out in the ward.

Immediately following was the sound of a mini hearing aid falling to the ground.

Shen Yao's face turned to one side, and her left cheek burned with pain.

"This is what happens when you bully my daughter!"

The middle-aged lady crossed her arms, her elegant face bearing the arrogance of someone in a superior position.

Her jet-black hair was styled in an updo, her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, and she wore an expensive gold necklace around her long neck.

Custom-designed Chanel bags, dresses, earrings...

Her gorgeous and expensive clothes made her look very stylish and extremely arrogant.

After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Yao bent down slightly and reached out to pick up the mini hearing aid that had fallen to the ground.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the hearing aid, a pair of black high heels stepped on it hard.

"Miss Shen, have you gotten used to picking up trash?" Gao Yunyan stepped on Shen Yao's hearing aid and crushed it forcefully.

Shen Yao's hearing was severely damaged, and she couldn't hear what Gao Yunyan was saying, but from her expression, she could guess that Gao Yunyan was cursing her.

"Could you please lift your foot?" Shen Yao raised her head, speaking slowly and deliberately, her expression unusually calm.

Gao Yunyan raised her chin, her eyes filled with arrogance and conceit. "I won't raise it."

Shen Yao still couldn't hear what she was saying, but seeing that her feet hadn't left the hearing aid on the ground, she guessed that she had rejected her.

Shen Yao straightened up and walked step by step to Gao Yunyan. Her dark eyes were as cold as a frozen pool in winter.

Startled by her silent and terrifying aura, Gao Yunyan subconsciously took a step back. "What are you going to do?"

Shen Yao simply smiled expressionlessly and quickly grabbed Gao Yunyan's wrist.

"Ah!" A pig-like scream came from Gao Yunyan's mouth, which seemed so out of place with her gorgeous and expensive attire.

Shen Yao held her wrist and said calmly, "Pick it up, or I'll break your wrist."

Gao Yunyan immediately burst into a tirade, "You dare?"

Shen Yao got closer and roughly heard what she was saying. Seeing that she was stubborn, she immediately increased the pressure on her hand.

Gao Yunyan was in so much pain that she screamed and almost cried out.

Feeling as if her wrist bones were about to break, she could only swallow her anger and endure as Shen Yao twisted her wrist and bent her over to pick up the hearing aid from the ground.

Looking at the hearing aid that had been stepped on and dirtied, Shen Yao didn't take it, but said calmly, "Wipe it clean."

Gao Yunyan wanted to refuse, but when she felt the excruciating pain in her wrist return, she could only hand the hearing aid to Ye Yingying, who was standing next to her, with great difficulty, "Help her clean it and then give it back to her."

Ye Yingying was shocked to see that her usually arrogant and domineering mother had been completely subdued by Shen Yao.

But what surprised her even more was that Shen Yao, who had always been timid and submissive in front of Gu Tianyou, had become very assertive.

After cleaning the hearing aid and handing it to Shen Yao, Ye Yingying asked with concern, "Yao Yao, what happened to your ear? Why are you wearing this when it was fine?"

Shen Yao took the hearing aid and carefully put it on.

Gu Tianyou's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the scene before him.

Seeing Shen Yao remain silent, Ye Yingying smiled and said, "My mother was just too worried about me, that's why she hit you. I'm sorry, could you please let her go?"

Shen Yao hadn't really intended to make things difficult for Gao Yunyan. After putting on the hearing aid, she immediately let go of Gao Yunyan.

As soon as Gao Yunyan was released, she raised her hand to slap Shen Yao.

How could Shen Yao possibly suffer a second loss?

He grabbed her wrist in no time and pushed her away.

Gao Yunyan was a pampered lady of high society. She stumbled and lost her balance, falling onto the hospital bed where Gu Tianyou was.

Gu Tianyou quickly helped Gao Yunyan up and gently comforted her.

"Auntie, how are you?"

Gao Yunyan, seething with anger, stood up in a disheveled state and questioned Gu Tianyou, "Aren't you going to do anything about your ex-wife?"

Feeling humiliated, Gu Tianyou's face immediately turned ashen, and he swept his cold gaze toward Shen Yao, "Come here and apologize to Aunt Gao!"
