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

"Understood, Mr. Gu."

Shen Yao responded calmly, deliberately keeping a distance from Gu Tianyou as she passed by before climbing the steps.

The woman's high heels clicked on the marble floor.

Each sound was like a hammer blow to Gu Tianyou's heart, one after another, making his chest feel suffocated.

The woman simply brushed past him, no longer holding his hand, pestering him, or coaxing him as she used to.

The panic in Gu Tianyou's heart was like a flood that had burst its banks, almost overwhelming him in an instant.

He turned around and quickly followed the woman.

In the walk-in closet on the third floor, Shen Yao was taking out the dress that Grandpa Gu had given her and placing it on the sofa next to her.

Her left hand was still bandaged, so she couldn't fold clothes and could only haphazardly pile her skirt together.

After carefully inspecting the walk-in closet and confirming that there were no clothes sent by Grandpa Gu, Shen Yao slowly closed the closet door.

"Take this evening gown too!" came Gu Tianyou's angry voice from behind.

The door to the walk-in closet was opened again, and a hand with distinct knuckles appeared in Shen Yao's field of vision.

A blue evening gown was taken out and thrown at Shen Yao's face.

Shen Yao instinctively dodged, and the hard clothes hanger bumped into her injured shoulder.

"Ah!" The pain made her groan involuntarily.

The evening gown that was thrown at her fell heavily to the ground because she couldn't catch it.

"Shen Yao, this dress costs 100 million, and you just threw it on the ground like that? Pick it up!" The man's harsh voice buzzed in Shen Yao's ears.

Despite the extreme discomfort in her shoulder, Shen Yao silently picked up the evening gown from the floor and placed it on the sofa.

It was at this moment that Gu Tianyou noticed that the woman's right shoulder was wrapped in bandages.

The white bandages and bright red bloodstains indicate that the woman was injured sometime today.

Gu Tianyou frowned. "Hmph, where have you been? You've made yourself look so pathetic. Who are you trying to fool with this act?"

Shen Yao did not answer the man's question. Instead, she continued to open the shoe cabinet and put the expensive shoes that Grandpa Gu had given her into a large shopping bag.

Watching the woman silently pack her things, Gu Tianyou grew increasingly irritated. He strode over to her and grabbed her arm. "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

The man's yank on her injured arm sent a sharp, piercing pain through her entire body, causing Shen Yao to gasp in pain.

She raised her bloodshot eyes and looked at the angry man. "Let me go. Once I'm done cleaning up, I'll leave immediately. I won't stay a moment longer."

She was exhausted from dealing with Shen Dequan and Wang Haiya's affairs today, and was on edge the whole time. She really didn't have the energy to get entangled with any more men.

"Hmph, that's for the best!" Gu Tianyou forcefully shook off the woman's arm, turned around and sat on the sofa in the dressing room, crossing his legs and watching the woman pack.

The man pulled and then suddenly released his grip, causing a sharp pain in my arm.

Shen Yao covered her arm, her face pale, and right under Gu Tianyou's nose, placed the things she wanted to take on a single sofa.

A passing maid saw that Shen Yao was injured and came in, saying, "Young Madam, let me help you take it down."

Gu Tianyou immediately gave the maid a piercing look, "Let her do it herself!"

The maid glanced sympathetically at Shen Yao, whose arm was already bleeding from the bandage, sighed softly, and left.

Shen Yao didn't expect anyone here to help her. She took out her phone, and her slender fingers quickly typed a few lines on the screen.

"I'm all packed. Have you arrived yet?"

"I'm already inside, wait for me a moment."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Just as Gu Tianyou was sitting arrogantly on the sofa, waiting for Shen Yao to beg him as before, a series of fast, steady footsteps on the marble floor came from outside.

Gu Tianyou frowned slightly. He had never heard this footstep before; it belonged to a stranger.

Anxiety made him get up from the sofa and subconsciously turn his head to look at the door.
