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

"Are you prying into my privacy?"

Even Gu Tianyou didn't know that Shen Yao's mother was sick, so how could Huangfu Hao know?

There is only one possibility: Huangfu Hao sent people to follow Shen Yao.

Seeing that Shen Yao was angry, Huangfu Hao quickly explained, "Yao Yao, didn't someone suddenly knock on your door the other day? I sent someone to investigate whether you had offended anyone recently, because I was worried that you might be retaliated against and followed. After all, it's not safe for a girl like you to live alone."

Shen Yao was still very angry. "So you just happened to investigate my background? You found out that I have biological parents who abandoned me?"

Huangfu Hao remained silent, unable to look Shen Yao in the eye.

Those eyes were clear, yet also filled with sorrow.

Everyone has secrets and pains that cannot be seen by others.

Shen Yao's secret and pain lie in her family of origin and her biological parents.

"Yaoyao, I just want to understand you better."

"So you think I'm pitiful, that I need your sympathy, and that's why you let me into your research institute?"

"No, that's because you really have the ability."

"Huangfuhao, I don't need your sympathy!"

The meal ended unhappily.

After Shen Yao was adopted by Grandpa Gu, she soon met Huangfu Hao.

When Shen Yao was young, she was very insecure. Grandpa Gu always encouraged her, saying that she was no different from others and that she could stand tall and be confident.

Over the years, Shen Yao has only felt inferior occasionally in front of Gu Tianyou; most of the time, she has been very confident.

However, when she was alone at night, lying in bed, Shen Yao would still feel helpless and afraid when she thought of her biological parents who had abandoned her.

Did she do something wrong that her biological parents don't want her anymore?

Perhaps it was the trauma from her family of origin that led to her obsession with Gu Tianyou, a love she could not have.

She has let go of that obsession now, but the fact that she has terrible parents still causes her pain whenever she thinks about it.

She assumed Huangfu Hao was unaware, so she could stand before him like a proud princess.

But now, Huangfu Hao knows everything.

Shen Yao felt as if she had been stripped naked, with nowhere to hide.

She said she was tired and needed to rest, and saw Huangfuhao to the door.

As soon as the door closed, she slumped to the floor, hugged her knees, and let out a low sob.

Huangfuhao heard her crying, and feeling guilty, he pressed his head against the door, biting his lip, not daring to utter a sound.

Because she was to be hired by Shenzhen Medical University, Shen Yao had to complete a pre-employment physical examination and related teaching preparations.

A busy week has passed quickly, and Monday is here.

The principal held a special staff meeting to welcome Shen Yao.

"This is Professor Shen Yao, a graduate of Harvard Medical School. Please welcome her!"

Medical universities have always been places with a gender imbalance. Because the proportion of male doctors is far higher than that of female doctors, 80% of the teachers in medical universities are male.

In addition, since the teachers are required to have clinical experience, most of the male teachers are greasy middle-aged men with receding hairlines and big bellies.

Naturally, many of the female teachers had given birth and were overweight.

Therefore, when Shen Yao, who was tall, had an outstanding temperament, and was highly educated, appeared, she immediately caused quite a stir.

The male teachers stared blankly, while the female teachers' eyes turned red. Each side harbored its own secrets, and the expressions on their faces were all incredibly interesting.

Of course, there were exceptions. One of the male teachers had been sleeping on his desk ever since Shen Yao walked in.
