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

"Ash, who hit you?"

Looking at the direction of the wound, Shen Yao could tell that someone was standing behind Bo Yuxiu, repeatedly hitting his back with something that looked like a wooden stick.

Bo Yuxiu quickly turned around, so that Shen Yao would not see his wound.

“I used to be in military school, these injuries are nothing.”

He smiled and gently wiped away the woman's tears.

"I'm really fine."

Shen Yao's nose tingled, and more tears fell.

"Did your family do something to you? Were you beaten because of me?"

Shen Yao is a very sensitive person. Recalling what Bo Yuxiu had sent her before, she guessed the general truth of the matter.

Bo Yuxiu pulled her back into his arms.

"Silly girl, it's nothing serious. They're just blaming me for not telling them I was getting married."

Shen Yao, however, was not so easily fooled.

"Can you tell me the truth? Since we're husband and wife, we should face things together when problems arise."

Having heard Shen Yao's words, Bo Yuxiu felt it was no longer appropriate to hide anything.

"Yaoyao, remember that you are wonderful. I married you because I admire your resilience and independence, just like the Gesang flower on the plateau."

Am I really that good?

Shen Yao was still a little insecure.

"In my heart, you are the best woman."

Bo Yuxiu lovingly stroked the woman's soft hair.

Shen Yao took a deep breath and mustered the courage to voice her question.

"Ash, since that's the case, please tell me why your family beat you, okay?"

"Grandpa hit me because... he felt I shouldn't marry a divorced woman."

Bo Yuxiu spoke cautiously, feeling the movements of the woman in his arms.

Although she was prepared, Shen Yao still felt a pang of pain in her heart when she heard the real answer from Bo Yuxiu.

She gently broke free from Bo Yuxiu's embrace.

He raised his bloodshot eyes and asked, "If you were remarrying, would your grandfather say anything to you?"

Bo Yuxiu shook his head; he understood what Shen Yao meant.

People's standards are just so strange.

If a man is divorced and then remarries, no one will blame him.

However, if a woman who has been divorced remarries, she will be looked down upon.

Shen Yao was silently rebelling against Old Master Bo's prejudice against her.

"You're off tomorrow, let's go see Grandpa together." Bo Yuxiu hugged the woman in front of him tightly. "Don't worry, no matter what Grandpa says, I'll always stand by your side. I won't divorce you."

Early the next morning.

Shen Yao and Bo Yuxiu arrived at the Bo family's grand villa at 10 a.m.

Unlike the last time they came, when dozens of servants lined up to welcome them, almost no one greeted them this time.

Instead, when they entered the courtyard, several servants secretly sized up Shen Yao.

The butler, however, greeted Bo Yuxiu very warmly.

"Second Young Master, so early."

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yao and bowed slightly to her respectfully, saying, "Miss Shen."

Bo Yuxiu frowned slightly. "Call her Second Young Madam."

The butler looked troubled. "Young Master... the Old Master is waiting for you."

Shen Yao didn't want to make things difficult for the housekeeper, so she tugged at Bo Yuxiu's sleeve and said, "Let's go see Grandpa first, don't keep him waiting too long."

Bo Yuxiu thought about it and realized it made sense.

Let's get the important things done first, then we'll talk about the rest.

Upon entering the living room, as expected, we saw Old Master Bo sitting on the sofa in the center with a gloomy face.

Bo Yuxiu held Shen Yao's hand tightly, and together they walked to the front of Old Master Bo.

"Grandpa, I brought Yao Yao with me."

Shen Yao bowed deeply to her grandfather, "Hello, Grandpa, I am Shen Yao."

Old Master Bo merely glanced coldly at Shen Yao without responding directly, instead scrutinizing her from head to toe.

Bo Yuxiu was worried that Shen Yao was not feeling well, so he was about to speak, but at this moment, Old Master Bo waved his hand.

"Hmph, you're good-looking and have a decent demeanor. No wonder my grandson would take a liking to you."

Upon hearing his grandfather praise Shen Yao, Bo Yuxiu quickly chimed in, "Grandpa, didn't I tell you? Shen Yao is a wonderful woman. You'll like her."

Old Master Bo's face immediately darkened.

"She's pretty, but can beauty fill your stomach? You should divorce her as soon as possible!"

Old Master Bo's tone changed so quickly that Bo Yuxiu was caught off guard.

"Grandpa, do you really have to do this?"

Old Master Bo snorted coldly, "I absolutely will not allow you to be like your father, ruining the family business and destroying your life for a woman."

Bo Yuxiu pulled Shen Yao forward and patiently explained to the old man.

“Grandpa, Shen Yao is a very famous medical expert, especially skilled in cardiothoracic surgery. Do you remember that 79-year-old army commander? At that time, no one in the entire city of Shenzhen dared to perform his surgery, only Shen Yao did. And the surgery was very successful. Didn’t you two go play golf together just a couple of days ago?”

"You mean Miss Shen saved that army commander's life?"

The information revealed by Bo Yuxiu surprised the old man.

Seeing that Old Master Bo was finally interested in learning about Shen Yao's excellence,

Bo Yuxiu recounted in great detail the scholarships Shen Yao had received during her school years, the prestigious universities she had attended, the number of papers she had published, and the number of renowned surgeries she had performed.

Old Master Bo originally looked down on Shen Yao.

But the further he listened, the more he looked into Shen Yao's eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed across them.

"Is this all Miss Shen's real resume?"

"Grandpa, if you don't believe me, you can go and check. Anyway, you know the Minister of the Information Department, so you'll find out the truth every time you check."

"Hmph, I'll investigate right now."

Old Master Bo instructed the housekeeper to write down everything Bo Yuxiu had said in a notebook.

A short while later, he actually made a phone call to the Minister of Information in front of Shen Yao and Yu Xiu.

Less than thirty minutes later, the Information Department called Mr. Bo back, informing him that the matter he was investigating was true.

Mr. Bo doubted that he had misheard.

"Have you investigated thoroughly?"

"Old Bo, you have no idea about the capabilities of the Information Department. It directly serves the President."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, Old Master Bo looked at Shen Yao meaningfully.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable."

His words contained both doubt and surprise.

Old Master Bo was truly surprised that Shen Yao, who looked so young, was already a national reserve talent.

Bo Yuxiu smiled and said, "Grandpa, I've told you before that Shen Yao is a very outstanding and wonderful woman. Now you believe me, right?"

"Grandpa believed it." Old Master Bo sighed, but then changed the subject again.

"Although you are both outstanding, Grandpa still doesn't approve of you being together."
