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

"Drip!"

A sharp, even somewhat harsh, whistle sounded from behind.

Chen Jie lowered the car window somewhat embarrassed. "Professor Shen, our CEO Gu invites you to get in the car. Otherwise, we'll be late."

Shen Yao estimated the time; it would indeed take some time to get from the business hotel to the Gu family's old residence.

After all, the evening rush hour is about to begin, and there will probably be traffic jams.

In addition, not wanting Grandpa Gu to see that she and Gu Tianyou had completely fallen out, Shen Yao ultimately chose to get into the Maserati.

When the man saw her sit down, he very consciously moved to the other side.

After closing the car door, Shen Yao also moved a little in the opposite direction from the man.

They were separated by a very wide 38th parallel.

Chen Jie was driving and looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror.

Gu Tianyou leaned back in his car seat, closing his eyes to rest, while Shen Yao stared blankly out the window, the two not exchanging a word.

Shen Yao's phone rang at that moment.

It was Huangfuhao calling.

"Yaoyao, aren't you home? I bought you some cat food. Didn't you say you were almost out of cat food?"

"Are you at the entrance of my apartment complex right now?" Shen Yao asked. Huangfuhao had helped her move before and knew where she lived.

"Yeah, I thought you were at home." Huangfuhao held his phone in one hand and cat food in the other.

The Lake Rhine Lakeside residential community has strict access control; ordinary visitors cannot enter without the consent of the residents.

"Yes, I'm not home right now. Why don't you leave the cat food at the security booth first, and I'll pick it up when I get back?"

Shen Yao didn't know when she could go back, so she didn't want Huangfu Hao to keep waiting.

"When will you be back? I don't have to work overtime tonight, so I can wait for you." Huangfuhao didn't want to go back so soon; he wanted to see Shen Yao before returning.

"Don't wait for me anymore, I don't know when I can go back." Shen Yao saw the man sitting next to her reflected in the glass window, who had been staring at her for some time.

Stared at like that by the man, Shen Yao unconsciously lowered her voice.

"You've had a busy day at the law firm, go home and get some rest. I'm hanging up now."

“Yaoyao, it’s okay, I can wait for you.” Huangfuhao was very stubborn.

Just as Shen Yao was about to continue persuading him, her phone was snatched away by a hand with distinct knuckles.

"I told you to go home, but you can't hear me? Are you deaf?" The man's icy voice reached Huangfu Hao's ears.

Huangfu Hao was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.

He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and, after confirming that the number he had dialed belonged to Shen Yao, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Gu Tianyou said coldly, "Who I am is not important. I'm hanging up."

Before Huangfuhao could react, Gu Tianyou ruthlessly hung up the phone.

"Who are you? Why are you holding Shen Yao's phone?"

After hearing the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Huangfuhao realized that the man had already hung up.

When I tried to call back, the other party hung up immediately.

Huangfuhao tried calling again, but the line was still busy.

He quickly sent Shen Yao a WeChat message: "Yao Yao, are you okay?"

The phone received a reply very quickly.

Huangfuhao quickly opened the page and found that Shen Yao had only replied with one word: "Get lost."

His pupils contracted slightly, and his knuckles gripping the phone gradually turned cold.

"Yaoyao, who exactly is the man beside you?"
