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

Seeing his childhood friend's distraught appearance, Lu Ning simply couldn't bear to look at him.

Taking advantage of the man's drunkenness, he patted his face.

"Gu Tianyou, you actually believe in oaths?"

"She broke her promise, she's a liar, Shen Yao is a liar!"

Gu Tianyou swayed unsteadily and could barely speak.

Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh when he saw his usually domineering friend in such a disheveled state.

He pressed down hard on Gu Tianyou's shoulders and said seriously, "Gu Tianyou, no one waits for anyone else. Shen Yao has waited for you long enough. Let her go."

Despite being completely drunk and unconscious, Gu Tianyou suddenly grabbed Lu Ning by the collar, his emotions running high.

"No, I can't let her go, I can't!"

Lu Ning said with a laugh, "If you don't let her go, her heart is no longer with you. There's no point in forcibly keeping her by your side."

"It's meaningful, as long as she's by my side." Gu Tianyou, drunk, had a flushed face.

He appeared drunk, yet he seemed perfectly sober.

Looking at him like this, Lu Ning felt angry but also a strange pang of sadness.

Lu Ning had known Gu Tianyou since she was very young.

After his parents' unexpected death, Gu Tianyou suddenly became a different person.

He used to go to amusement parks with Lu Ning.

Later, Gu Tianyou was surrounded by all sorts of advanced mathematics, financial magazines, reports, and stock analysis books that even children couldn't understand...

Grandpa Gu trained Gu Tianyou as if he were the future heir to the Gu Group.

As Gu Tianyou became more and more outstanding, the smiles on his face became fewer and fewer.

"One day, I will make the Gu family even stronger in my hands."

He did it.

However, Lu Ning always felt that Gu Tianyou was living a very tiring life.

Old Master Gu's discipline of him was too strict, so much so that as Gu Tianyou became more and more successful, he began to contradict Old Master Gu.

Grandpa Gu disliked Ye Yingying, yet Gu Tianyou became close to her.

This led many people to believe that they were a couple.

In fact, only Lu Ning, who knew Gu Tianyou, knew that Gu Tianyou was just silently resisting Old Master Gu in his own way.

Just like when Grandpa Gu made him marry Shen Yao, he ignored Shen Yao in order to defy Grandpa Gu.

"Go home, don't drink anymore."

Seeing Gu Tianyou drink alcohol like it was water, Lu Ning was genuinely worried that this man might suddenly die.

After having the waiter remove all the drinks, Lu Ning looked at Gu Tianyou, who was lying on the sofa, completely drunk, and sighed as he rubbed his temples.

Both of them had been drinking, so they had to call a designated driver.

Just as he was about to demand the price, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He opened his contacts and dialed Shen Yao's number.

"Lu Ning, why are you calling me so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Shen Yao knew that Lu Ning was a playboy, so when she saw him calling her, she instinctively felt that nothing good was going to happen.

Sure enough, Lu Ning let out a big burp.

"Yaoyao, I'm drunk. Can you drive me home? Jiajia is away on a business trip and can't pick me up."

Shen Yao, however, was not so easily fooled.

“Jiajia’s younger sister is gone, but we still have your sister-in-law, right? She should be available. She’s a full-time housewife now, so she’s definitely more available and more suitable to pick you up than I am.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning thought to himself, "Shen Yao is really not someone to be fooled..."

However, this did not pose a problem for Lu Ning.

He sighed and put on a pitiful tone, "It's almost 11 o'clock. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and I'm just worried about her safety."
