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

"Disgusting?" Ye Yingying wondered if she had misheard. "Brother Tianyou, what did you say?"

Looking at Ye Yingying, who was crying her eyes out, Gu Tianyou narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed her hand, and walked towards the almost deserted stairwell.

Being pulled along by Gu Tianyou, Ye Yingying felt both happy and scared.

"Brother Tianyou, is there something we can't say outside?"

"Right here!" Gu Tianyou shoved Ye Yingying against the wall.

Ye Yingying felt a sharp pain in her back, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

She said with a heavy nasal tone, "Brother Tianyou, you're hurting me."

Gu Tianyou ignored Ye Yingying's crying, grabbed her neck with one hand, and asked coldly, "You fell down by yourself back then, why are you accusing Shen Yao of pushing you?"

"Brother Tianyou, please don't do this, I'm scared!"

This time, Ye Yingying was genuinely scared.

At this moment, Gu Tianyou's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a demon shrouded in great darkness, appearing extremely terrifying.

“Brother Tianyou, wasn’t I doing this for you? Shen Yao kept pestering you back then, and I wanted her to disappear from your world.”

Gu Tianyou frowned deeply. "Make her disappear? Ye Yingying, do you know what you're saying?"

Ye Yingying's eyes, which had just looked pitiful, suddenly turned cold.

“Brother Tianyou, of course I know what I’m saying. Don’t you always say that you hate Shen Yao because she’s like a shadow following you around? Since you hate her, then I’ll help you get rid of her. Am I wrong?”

"Snapped!"

A stinging slap landed on Ye Yingying's face.

Tears welled in Ye Yingying's eyes as she covered her bruised face with her left hand.

"Brother Tianyou, how could you bear to hit me?"

"How could I not be willing? You've been lying to me for so many years!"

Gu Tianyou's chest heaved violently, his face as gloomy as if he had just been pulled out of a well in the dead of night.

“Brother Tianyou, didn’t you say you hated Shen Yao? You should be happy that I did this. Because I’ve given you a reason to hate Shen Yao.”

As Ye Yingying spoke, her smile began to twist.

Looking at the unfamiliar Ye Yingying in front of him, Gu Tianyou's pupils shrank to almost the smallest point.

He suddenly grabbed Ye Yingying's shoulders and shook her violently.

"It was clearly you who was malicious and framed Shen Yao, yet you're trying to shift all the blame onto me? Ye Yingying, you disgust me!"

"Brother Tianyou, I became like this because of you. If I didn't say and do these things, how could you have stayed by my side all this time?"

"You're heartless! Get out, I don't want to see you again!"

Gu Tianyou shoved Ye Yingying away.

Ye Yingying fell to the ground and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

"Brother Tianyou, you've never treated me like this before? You really like me, how can you bear to do this to me?"

Looking at the woman who was truly crying her eyes out this time, Gu Tianyou let out a deep breath.

Who said I ever liked you?

The man's words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Ye Yingying's chest.

"Brother Tianyou, don't you like me? If you don't like me, why do you keep leaving Shen Yao to come find me?"

"I'm looking for you because I've always believed that Shen Yao is the one who caused you to end up like this. If I treat you better, I'll feel less guilty."

"Heh, so you're nice to me because of that bitch Shen Yao?"

Ye Yingying smiled, her eyes filled with a mixture of madness, jealousy, and grief, which then turned into a torrent of tears.
