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

Even knowing that Gu Tianyou wouldn't treat Shen Yao sincerely.

However, knowing that Shen Yao was a grateful person, he took advantage of Shen Yao's love for Gu Tianyou and forced them to get married.

Grandpa Gu understood Shen Yao; he knew that even if he were no longer in this world, Shen Yao would love Gu Tianyou as always.

He also thought that Shen Yao's care and love over the past ten years would move his stubborn grandson.

But he never expected that Shen Yao would break down; he also never expected that Gu Tianyou would still be entangled with Ye Yingying after marriage, hurting Shen Yao time and time again for other women.

Ever since Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao got married, their home no longer felt like a home.

As his life was drawing to a close, Grandpa Gu had a change of heart: he would set Shen Yao free and give her back the life that was rightfully hers.

"Grandpa Gu, is there something you need from me tonight?"

Shen Yao did not answer Old Master Gu's question, but instead asked him a question in return.

Remembering what Huangfuhao had said, Old Master Gu decided not to talk about the past anymore.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "Grandpa wasn't joking when he said he'd give you 50% of Gu's shares. Because they were originally yours."

“Back then, your grandfather invested in the Gu Group and gave me a huge sum of money when the Gu Group was in its most difficult time. I will never forget this kindness.”

"Later, as the Gu family business grew larger and larger, your grandfather did not take a single penny from it. He only had one request: that if he were gone and the Wang family declined, I could give 30 percent of the shares to his descendants. This 30 percent is not unreasonable, after all, the funds your grandfather invested in the Gu family business accounted for at least 50 percent of the shares."

"This secret was known only to him and me. But I broke my promise. At that time, your father committed suicide, and your mother was forced to marry a gambler. I knew all of this. I should have found you immediately, given you shares, and ensured you a comfortable life. But the Gu family was also facing difficulties at the time..."

As Shen Yao listened to Old Master Gu's slow narration, her numb heart was pierced once again.

She once thought that Grandpa Gu was the only person in the world who could treat her unconditionally well.

Only at this moment did she realize that the reason why Grandpa Gu was so good to her was because he owed her family a debt.

Anger, sadness, and disappointment intertwine and collide within the body.

She recalled the images of her mother being beaten and bruised by her father, even developing severe psychological problems; she remembered the cruelty of that so-called 'father,' who didn't hesitate to smash a bottle against her...

She thought this was her fate.

With such biological parents, she deserves to live in the gutter.

However, when she learned that her biological father was actually the heir to the once-famous Wang Group and that her grandfather was a once-renowned business genius, she felt that fate was playing a cruel joke on her.

She was born a princess, but she didn't have the life of one.

Seeing that Shen Yao remained silent, Old Master Gu assumed that she was angry and hated him.

My heart is pounding violently right now.

He raised his hand with difficulty and called softly, "Yaoyao, come here, let Grandpa take a good look at you."

Shen Yao looked up and saw the pleading look in Old Master Gu's eyes, but she couldn't take a step.

They used to be so close, but now they can no longer get close to each other.
