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

"Jiajia, hit me, scold me."

Shen Yao really hoped that Lu Jiajia would do that.

At least, she'll feel a little better.

Lu Jiajia also cried her eyes out.

She approached Shen Yao step by step, letting out a low growl from her throat, "When did you two start this?"

Shen Yao answered truthfully, "I don't know either. Maybe it was when he helped me at school, or maybe it was when he helped me out of a predicament at the press conference..."

"So, you two were hooking up a long time ago?" Sister Lu Jiajia used all her strength to suppress her anger.

"That's not how it is. Back then, I didn't know you two knew each other, and I certainly didn't know you liked him," Shen Yao tried desperately to explain.

"Hmph, do you think I'd believe that?" Lu Jiajia replied coldly.

A sense of powerlessness spread through Shen Yao's heart.

"Hit me if you want, as long as it makes you feel better."

"Do you think I don't dare?"

Lu Jiajia gritted her teeth and slapped Shen Yao across the face.

A crisp slap rang in my ears.

Shen Yao felt a ringing in her ears and turned her head to one side.

She endured the pain, slowly turned her head to face the sky, and looked sadly at Lu Jiajia, "Are you over it now? You're my best friend..."

I don't want to lose you.

You reached out your hand to me when I was in darkness.

I don't want to make you sad, no matter what.

Even if it hurts me, I'm willing to do it as long as it makes you feel better.

"Shen Yao, I never want to see you again, get out!"

After Lu Jiajia finished speaking, she picked up her suitcase, turned around, and left.

Watching Lu Jiajia's resolute departing figure, Shen Yao's body swayed slightly, and she almost fell over.

A large hand gripped her slender waist tightly.

"Yaoyao, why are you doing this to yourself? There's never a right or wrong when it comes to feelings. Even without you, I still wouldn't be with Lu Jiajia."

Bo Yuxiu remained hidden in the shadows, watching everything unfold.

Shen Yao wouldn't let him participate.

Shen Yao felt that this was a matter between her and Lu Jiajia.

She also instructed Bo Yuxiu that no matter what happened, he should not interfere.

Bo Yuxiu could only endure it.

Watching Lu Jiajia scold Shen Yao, watching Lu Jiajia hit Shen Yao.

“You don’t understand. The nature of this matter is completely different when I say it versus when you say it.”

Shen Yao broke free from Bo Yuxiu's embrace and walked out of the arrival room step by step.

The evening breeze in December still carried a biting chill.

But none of that could compare to the coldness in my heart.

Back home, Shen Yao lay in bed, and thinking of Lu Jiajia's words, she still felt sad and shed tears.

Bo Yuxiu lay beside her, quietly holding her, gently wiping away her tears from time to time.

"It's my fault, please don't cry anymore, okay?"

"I'm sad."

The woman's voice was already choked with sobs.

Bo Yuxiu sighed and pulled the woman into his arms.

"sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you. This is a challenge that Lu Jiajia and I have to overcome."

......

When Lu Jiajia returned home, she found that her family had prepared a sumptuous dinner and were waiting for her.

Her face still displayed the same bright and sunny smile as always.

"Welcome home to my lovely and beautiful little sister!"

Lu Ning was the first to give Lu Jiajia a big hug.

Lu Ning's wife gave Lu Jiajia a gift.

Lu Jiajia's parents sat at the dining table and urged her to sit down and eat.

As she ate a hot meal and felt the love and warmth of her family, Lu Jiajia couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"My darling daughter, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just too touched, hehe."

Lu Jiajia wiped away her tears and tried her best to eat her rice.

Lu Ning looked at his sister, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

After everyone had gotten to know each other, Lu Ning knocked on Lu Jiajia's door.

"Let's talk?"

"What's there to talk about with you?"

Lu Jiajia rolled her eyes and was about to close the door.

Lu Ning braced himself against the door with his hand. "Is something on your mind?"

"I....."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Ning went directly into Lu Jiajia's room.

After the door closed, Lu Ning looked at his younger sister with a serious expression.

"We grew up together, do you think I don't know you?"

This one sentence immediately broke Lu Jiajia's defenses.

Her eyes reddened, and she threw herself into her brother's arms.

Lu Ning finally learned the whole story.

When he learned that Bo Yuxiu and Lu Jiajia had gotten married, he was quite shocked.

"When did this happen?"

"Just these few days."

"Oh, my dear sister, you deserve better."

This was the only way Lu Ning could comfort Lu Jiajia.

Lu Jiajia nestled in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, wiping her tears and snot all over his pajamas.

Lu Ning frowned, looking disgusted, but couldn't show it.

He finally managed to coax Lu Jiajia to sleep before quietly leaving the room.

Once on the balcony, he hesitated for a long time before finally calling Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou is working overtime at the company.

The company has recently encountered problems again, forcing him, the president, to work overtime to address them.

"Say something quickly."

Hearing Gu Tianyou's consistently cold voice, Lu Ning felt somewhat displeased.

"I'm here to warn you, are you going to listen or not? It's about Shen Yao."

Upon hearing Shen Yao's name, Gu Tianyou's tone softened somewhat.

"What's up with her."

"Nothing's wrong, she's doing fine."

"That's all you want to say?"

"She married Bo Yuxiu, did you know?"

The phone rang, then something fell to the ground.

Lu Ning smiled slightly. This man had finally broken down.

"Who did you listen to?"

"My Jiajia."

There was another silence on the phone.

Lu Jiajia and Shen Yao are very good friends.

If it was Lu Jiajia who said it, it's probably true.

Moreover, Lu Jiajia has always liked Bo Yuxiu.

Therefore, this news is basically reliable.

Gu Tianyou's knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone. "How dare Shen Yao marry another man?"

"We're divorced, so why can't I marry another man?"

"Shut up!"

Lu Ning only heard a series of beeping sounds from his phone.

Gu Tianyou hung up the phone.

Chen Jie fell asleep in his office.

I was awakened by a loud banging on the door.

He was so frightened that he sat up abruptly from his chair.

"Who?"

"I."

Upon hearing the cold voice outside the door, Chen Jie rushed to the door and opened it for him.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in.

At this moment, Chen Jie felt as if he were in the cold of hell.

"Shen Yao and Bo Yuxiu got married. Go and verify this for me. Such a big thing, how could they keep it so quiet? Is there some kind of secret they're hiding?"

"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen has already divorced you. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to inquire about her affairs?" Chen Jie whispered a reminder.

He simply couldn't figure this man out.

When they got married, he treated Shen Yao like trash. Why is he now entangled with her after the divorce?
