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

"Shut up, all of you! Professor Shen isn't that kind of person!"

Huangfuhao roared at the media below the stage.

His anger did not stop the media from attacking Shen Yao; instead, it aroused their gossipy curiosity.

"Professor Shen, may I ask who this gentleman is to you?"

Are you two in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?

"Is his fierce defense of you also partly responsible for Old Master Gu's death?"

One accusatory question after another rang in Shen Yao's ears.

She felt like she couldn't breathe, but she remained calm and composed in front of the camera.

She knew that no matter how many accusations she faced, she could not give up.

Because she really didn't kill Old Master Gu.

She couldn't afford to admit defeat.

Having calmed herself, Shen Yao picked up the microphone and said calmly, "Mr. Huangfu Hao is my friend..."

“Mr. Huangfuhao is not your friend, he is your boss, and also your admirer,” Ye Yingying interrupted Shen Yao.

"What? Huangfu Hao was Shen Yao's boss? No wonder Shen Yao is a national professor at such a young age. She definitely has a man behind her!"

As if they had caught Shen Yao by the nose, a reporter loudly and deliberately mocked her.

This sentence was like a starting point; everyone's gaze towards Shen Yao began to carry a mocking and unsettling undertone.

Ye Yingying looked at Shen Yao, who was being condemned by everyone, with an indescribable sense of smugness in her eyes.

Originally, she thought it was a good thing that Shen Yao had disappeared from this world.

But then Shen Yao appeared, and she appeared in such a dazzling way.

This infuriated and angered Ye Yingying.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Ye Yingying was already looking forward to seeing Shen Yao fall hard.

A heavy force came from her shoulder. Ye Yingying turned her head and found that Gu Tianyou had been standing behind her at some point.

"Is what you just said true?"

"Brother Tianyou, are you referring to Yaoyao and Huangfuhao's affair?"

"Correct."

"They've been exchanging glances for a long time, back when you weren't divorced yet, and I didn't dare say anything then..."

Gu Tianyou pressed down hard on Ye Yingying's shoulders, his face turning ashen.

"They've been together for a long time?"

"I don't know about that. All I know is that Huangfu Hao has liked Yao Yao for many years. And Yao Yao doesn't seem to have rejected him..."

"I understand." Gu Tianyou said through gritted teeth.

"Professor Shen, how can you still have the nerve to live? You killed the person who adopted you, and you still climbed the social ladder by relying on men. You don't deserve to be a professor!" another reporter shouted.

Shen Yao tried her best to suppress her unease. She said to the cameraman on site, "Please record the faces of those who just accused me. I will file a complaint after the press conference."

Turning her gaze back to the reporters and guests below the stage, Shen Yao calmly said, "Today's press conference is for the launch of a new drug, not for entertainment reporters. Please stop now. I have already answered your questions very clearly."

"First, I did not intentionally anger Grandpa Gu to death. Second, I got to where I am today through my own abilities. Third, my relationship with Huangfu Hao is my private matter. Later, I will publish my research results and papers from Harvard University on Weibo, as well as every major surgery I have participated in since graduation. You can go ahead and verify them. I am waiting for you to provide evidence to refute me."
