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

"Post the lawyer's letter directly on Weibo."

Gu Tianyou gave Chen Jie a death order.

"Mr. Gu, are we really going to post this online? The other party is the Bo family."

Chen Jie was somewhat aware of the Bo family's power.

Although the Bo family rarely gets involved in the business world, they wield immense political prestige.

"So what if it's the Bo family? Do you think I'd be afraid of them?"

"Then I'll go send it now."

Holding the lawyer's letter, Chen Jie rushed to the company's public relations department.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Yao still called Bo Yuxiu to tell him that Gu Tianyou would be suing him.

"Let him sue. Do you think the Bo family is easy to mess with?"

Bo Yuxiu’s tone carried an arrogance stemming from his noble lineage.

The Bo family wields far greater political influence in Shenzhen than the Gu family.

Shen Yao disliked his tone.

"You started it, so it was wrong of you. Apologize, and many things can be avoided from becoming so embarrassing."

"Are you speaking up for your ex-husband?" Bo Yuxiu was burning with jealousy.

Since getting together with Shen Yao, he hadn't noticed at all how easily he had become jealous.

“Bo Yuxiu, I’m doing this for your own good. You’re a university professor, a company president, and the renowned second young master of the Bo family. If it’s exposed that you assaulted Gu Tianyou, your public image will be ruined. Don’t you understand?”

"Hmph, in the end, you're still thinking about your ex-husband, aren't you?"

Bo Yuxiu's tone became increasingly sarcastic.

Shen Yao was unable to defend herself and eventually lost patience.

"Since you're unwilling to communicate properly, then there's nothing more to say. Hang up, I'm driving."

Before Bo Yuxiu could finish speaking, Shen Yao hung up the phone.

She sat in the car, cupping her face in her hands and curling herself up.

She thought things would get better after marrying Bo Yuxiu.

But, for some reason, it turned out like this again.

She fell into a state of helplessness and powerlessness again.

Driving aimlessly, Shen Yao watched the scenery outside the car window pass by one by one.

Absent-minded.

She didn't want to go home; she didn't want to face Bo Yuxiu.

I'm afraid the two of us will argue again.

She finally decided to go and talk to Xu Yang.

The moment Xu Yang saw her, he smiled and asked, "What would you like for dinner?"

Shen Yao was a little surprised, "You could tell I didn't eat dinner?"

Xu Yang glanced at his watch. "You've come here at this hour, you must not have eaten yet."

Shen Yao glanced at her watch and couldn't help but smile.

Yes, 6 PM.

They actually came to ask for advice during mealtime.

"Am I bothering you?"

Shen Yao asked apologetically.

Xu Yang shook his head, "How could that be? You're my good friend."

Xu Yang's words warmed Shen Yao's heart.

"I'm sorry," she said, her voice as soft as a kitten's.

Xu shrugged. "How about we have some congee, Chaoshan seafood congee?"

“Okay,” Shen Yao readily agreed.

The two of them slowly drank their porridge and chatted like old friends.

Shen Yao's phone, which was on silent, kept flashing in her bag.

Shen Yao was unaware of this.

After she left the consultation room, she saw more than a dozen missed calls from Bo Yuxu.

She took a deep breath and immediately called Bo Yuxiu back.

"Where did you go, and who did you meet?"

As soon as the call was answered, I heard a barrage of angry questions from the man.

Even through the screen, Shen Yao could feel the man's anger.

“I’m in the consultation room. You can call Xu Yang if you don’t believe me.”

"Why didn't you tell me you were with Xu Yang? Don't you know I was worried about you?"

"sorry."

"Don't move, I'm coming to get you. It's not safe for you to be alone so late at night."

Shen Yao was a little annoyed. "I drove here myself, you don't need to come over again."

Bo Yuxiu's voice rose even higher.

"I am your husband, you must listen to me."

Shen Yao felt a tightness in her chest when she heard those words.

“Bo Yuxiu, I’m an adult now, I know how to protect myself.”

"Hmph, if you knew how to protect yourself, would you have been hurt by that scumbag Gu Tianyou?"

The man's words were like a knife, piercing Shen Yao's heart.

Shen Yao was stunned for a long time.

She only came to her senses when the icy water slid down her face.

"I'll go back by myself."

Shen Yao held back her tears and suppressed her impending breakdown, then hung up the phone.

She started the car and drove alone on the endless road once again.

She was driving very slowly.

It was already 10:30 p.m. when I got home.

Shen Yao turned on the living room light and found the man sitting on the sofa, staring at her.

Shen Yao's heart skipped a beat.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Bo Yuxiu looked at Shen Yao with red eyes, "I can't sleep if you don't come back."

Seeing the man's haggard appearance, Shen Yao knew he was worried about her, and her heart softened in the end.

"Go to sleep when you're tired."

"I can't sleep until you come back."

Bo Yuxiu stood up, walked to Shen Yao, and hugged her tightly.

He rested his chin on the woman's head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so harsh with you. I just care about you too much."

Shen Yao's nose tingled, and she leaned her head completely against the man's chest.

"I also made mistakes."

All the misunderstandings were temporarily forgotten in their tight embrace.

......

Inside the Bo family's grand villa, a blend of Chinese and Western styles.

When the old master of the Bo family saw the newspaper handed to him by the butler, he angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"This is outrageous! How could Ashu, a member of the Bo family, commit such an act of assault?"

“Grandpa, although the second young master was a bit naughty in his younger years, I have seen him change his nature in recent years. There must be some hidden reason for this.”

The butler had watched Bo Yuxiu grow up, and he felt that Bo Yuxiu, having experienced so much, would not do something as absurd as assaulting the president of Gu's Group.

There may be more to the story.

Upon hearing what the butler said, Old Master Bo temporarily suppressed his anger and immediately made a phone call.

"Old Li, could you please help me investigate something...?"

Less than an hour later, his phone rang, and Mr. Bo answered it immediately.

"Old Li, what exactly is going on?"

"Oh, so there was something like this that was kept from this old man."

"Okay, thank you, Lao Li."

After hanging up the phone with the Minister of Information, Bo Xilai's face turned ashen.

He looked at the butler and said coldly, "Call that brat Bo Yuxiu and tell him to get back here. Such a big thing as getting married, and he didn't even tell this old man. He must have a death wish!"

Upon hearing that Bo Yuxiu was getting married, the butler smiled and comforted him, "Grandpa, Second Young Master, getting married is a good thing."

The old man of the Bo family had a livid face.

"A good thing? Ha! Is marrying a divorced woman a good thing?"

The butler's expression also changed.

“Master, this… could it be that someone is spreading rumors? After all, there have been many rumors about the Second Young Master over the years. There might be a lot of misunderstandings involved.”

"Is it a misunderstanding? Is it possible for information from the Information Department to be fabricated?" Old Master Bo's face had turned as cold as ice.
