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

The smile on Bo Yuxiu's face vanished instantly.

“Grandpa, why? Since Shen Yao is so outstanding, shouldn’t I be with her? You also said that as long as the other person is a woman of good character and ambition, you will accept her.”

Old Master Bo's gentle expression turned cold and hard once again.

"Yes, Miss Shen may be very outstanding. However, there is one thing I cannot accept about her, and that is that she is two-timing."

Shen Yao had been standing next to Bo Yuxiu, pretending to be calm as she listened to the exchange between the grandfather and grandson.

But when she suddenly heard Old Master Bo say that about her, she was taken aback.

"Mr. Bo, you may not like me, but you can't just throw mud at me like that."

"Hmph, whether I've smeared you or not, you can see for yourself."

As he spoke, Old Master Bo instructed the butler to hand the tablet to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao looked closely and discovered the WeChat message that Gu Tianyou had sent to Old Master Bo.

“Grandpa, Shen Yao and I have always had a good relationship. It was the appearance of your grandson that caused our relationship to break down.”

"I hope you will discipline your grandson properly."

"One should not covet another man's wife, don't you agree, Mr. Bo?"

Looking at the messages Gu Tianyou sent to Old Master Bo, Shen Yao's lips twitched violently. This man, Gu Tianyou, was actually twisting the truth so blatantly.

Just as Shen Yao was about to explain, she heard Old Master Bo say coldly, "The Bo family will absolutely not allow a woman of depraved character to enter our Bo family home."

He glanced at Bo Yuxiu's face, which darkened even more.

"Let's get a divorce today."

Bo Yuxiu immediately refused, "Grandpa, I will not get a divorce."

The old men grabbed their batons and slammed them against the ground, their faces turning ashen.

"We must get a divorce today."

"Grandpa, I won't agree."

Bo Yuxiu reached out and tightly grasped Shen Yao's hand.

His gaze was intense, fixed so firmly on the woman beside him.

It's as if it's saying silently, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will never leave you."

Looking into the man's determined gaze, Shen Yao's heart trembled slightly.

For the first time in her life, she was chosen with such unwavering resolve.

Tears streamed down my face without me even realizing it.

Bo Yuxiu reached out and gently wiped away the tears.

"Silly girl, don't cry. I want you to be happy."

Shen Yao raised her moist eyes and looked at the man silently.

She silently said in her heart, "Thank you for loving me, thank you for choosing me so firmly at this moment and standing with me."

Bo Yuxiu seemed to understand her thoughts and grabbed Shen Yao's hand tightly.

When Mr. Bo saw them clinging to each other so tightly, he became even more furious.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Are you deaf?"

"Grandpa, please stop pressuring me!"

Bo Yuxiu's chest heaved violently as he was about to continue arguing with Old Master Bo.

But then I felt my hand being gently tugged by another hand.

Tilt your head.

Seeing Shen Yao looking at him, he said gently, "Let me communicate with Grandpa myself."

Upon hearing this, Bo Yuxiu immediately shook his head.

“My grandfather is a soldier. He’s a man of his word, and sometimes he can be unreasonable. I don’t want you to face him alone.”

"You believe me." Shen Yao gave Bo Yuxiu a firm look.

Bo Yuxiu wanted to persuade Shen Yao, but Shen Yao quickly broke free from his hand and walked straight to Old Master Bo.

"Old man, let's talk alone."

"Are you sure you want to talk to this old man alone?"

Old Master Bo looked at Shen Yao and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This young woman probably has no idea what she is about to face.

"Yes, I need to speak with you privately."

Shen Yao repeated her answer.

"Alright, this old man will have a private talk with you."

Old Master Bo gave a cold laugh, then turned and instructed the butler to take Shen Yao to the study.

Bo Yuxiu wanted to stop her, but Shen Yao gently patted his hand and gestured with her eyes to reassure him.

"Second Young Master, your talks with the Old Master have fallen apart. Perhaps if you let Miss Shen talk to the Old Master, things might turn around."

The housekeeper advised Bo Yuxiu.

Shen Yao also said, "Axiu, marriage is not just a matter between two people. Although we don't necessarily have to live with Grandpa, I still hope to try my best to maintain a good relationship with him. What do you think?"

"Alright, I'll stay outside the study. If you're wronged, come out. It doesn't matter if you have a falling out with Grandpa. I don't want you to suffer."

Bo Yuxiu's words almost brought Shen Yao to tears again.

However, she is not someone who sheds tears easily.

She tried to hold back her tears, but they were forced back.

She gave Bo Yuxiu a smile.

"Don't worry, please trust me."

After saying this, Shen Yao turned around and walked into the study, led by the butler.

Once the study door was closed, almost nothing could be heard outside.

Bo Yuxiu stood guard outside, staring at the door to the study.

"Please take a seat."

When Old Master Bo pushed open the door and entered, he saw that Shen Yao was still standing and waiting for him, so he asked her to sit down.

“Okay.” Shen Yao sat down on a guest chair without any hesitation.

Mr. Bo sat upright at his desk, his expression serious.

In his early years, he had fought and killed on the battlefield, so once he became serious, he exuded a terrifying aura and a fierce spirit.

His hawk-like eyes were fixed on Shen Yao's face.

"Tell me, how much money do you want before you leave Ashu?"

"Old man, do you think that money can solve everything?"

Despite the unfriendly tone of Old Master Bo, which sounded like he was interrogating a criminal, Shen Yao was not angry.

She simply looked at Old Master Bo calmly and bravely, neither humble nor arrogant.

Mr. Bo has always been a person in a position of power, so he is used to being bossy to everyone.

Even arrogance.

This was even more true for Shen Yao.

Even his gaze toward Shen Yao carried disdain.

In his opinion, Shen Yao must have used some underhanded means to win Bo Yuxiu's favor.

"Hmph, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and I understand the importance of money better than you! I've inquired, and you come from an ordinary background, your mother is seriously ill, and your father is in jail. You need money for all of these things. Here's 1 million, leave Ashu."

“Grandpa, there are things more important than money in this world, such as justice, kindness, and the law. My family background may not be perfect, and it may seem that I also need money. But no matter how much I need money, I hope to earn it with my own hands.”

"Hmph, so you mean you're not going to leave Ash?"

Mr. Bo originally thought that if he offered Shen Yao 1 million, this woman would take the money and leave.

But he thought wrong.
