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

Shen Yao's hand holding the phone gradually grew cold.

All the pent-up frustration from this period of time finally erupted at this moment.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with Bo Yuxiu?"

No one responded.

The other party has already hung up the phone.

When Shen Yao called back, the message "The other party is currently on another call" rang out.

The sound of horns blared all around.

Shen Yao then realized that the green light had been on for a long time.

The driver behind her, seeing that she wasn't leaving, was honking his horn frantically.

She quickly started the car.

In March, Shenzhen was still quite cold, with the chill of early spring in the air.

Even with the heating on, Shen Yao still felt a chill running through her entire body.

She pressed her hand against the earphones to make sure they were still on.

I dialed Bo Yuxiu's number.

Bo Yuxu's phone remained unanswered.

Shen Yao's heart sank into the sea.

That night, she lay in bed, tossing and turning.

She felt as if a million ants were biting her all over her body.

In the middle of the night, she had a nightmare.

I woke up covered in sweat.

She picked up her phone and realized it was only 5 a.m.

9 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Yang received Shen Yao.

Have you had breakfast?

"Can't eat it."

"I'll heat up a glass of milk for you."

Shen Yao was about to say no, but Xu Yang had already turned around and gone into the kitchen.

Xu Yang's studio is like a large "home", with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, study and balcony.

Every time Shen Yao comes, she feels like she's coming home.

I drank milk and then ate a vegetable sandwich.

Shen Yao felt less down.

At least, the dizziness has improved a lot.

"What happened?"

Xu Yang, like an old friend, slowly guided Shen Yao to reveal her inner emotions.

Shen Yao gazed at the early spring sun outside the window, her thoughts drifting far away.

"You said I could try to find someone to rely on, try to trust others. But I feel so tired."

Didn't the other person provide you with the support you needed?

"He... seems to be cheating on me."

"So you feel like you've returned to a state of loneliness and helplessness."

Xu Yang cautiously probed Shen Yao's current state of mind.

"Yes, I feel like I'm back to living alone, as if this person has never existed in my life."

Shen Yao noticed that the dark clouds outside the window were gathering more and more.

Perhaps it will turn cloudy again later.

"Are you feeling alright?" Xu Yang changed Shen Yao's glass of warm water.

"It's alright, I just feel a little empty inside." Shen Yao's gaze remained fixed on the same spot.

"Actually, I need to apologize to you." Xu Yang looked at Shen Yao earnestly.

Feeling the gaze on her, Shen Yao turned her attention to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang gave her a gentle smile.

Shen Yao was puzzled.

"Why should you apologize to me?"

A hint of apology flashed in Xu Yang's eyes. "I said you needed to find someone to rely on, but that was a misstatement. Because I've discovered that you can face many things on your own. Yao Yao, you're already on the path of self-redemption; you are your own savior."

"Am I my own savior?"

Shen Yao murmured Xu Yang's words, suddenly understanding what he meant.

"Yes, you have unlimited potential. You are overcoming your fears and becoming a better version of yourself. You know, you used to never easily show your vulnerability."

Xu Yang's voice is gentle, comforting, and reassuring.

"So even if this person leaves me or betrays me, I shouldn't be afraid of anything. Right?"

A smile appeared on Shen Yao's face.

Xu Yang nodded.

As I left the psychological counseling studio, I looked up and saw the dark clouds gradually dissipating.

The March sunshine fell on Shen Yao's hair and shoulders.

A slight smile appeared on her lips.

While she was driving home, she received a call from Mr. Bo.

She was surprised that Old Master Bo would actually call her.

"Hello, Grandpa."

"Come over here, there's something important I need to discuss with you."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Hang up.

Shen Yao's heart began to leap into her throat.

Her car drove into the Bo family's enormous villa estate.

The housekeeper was already waiting for her by the parking lot.

As soon as the car stopped, the butler opened the car door for her with his white gloved hands.

"Miss Shen, my husband is already waiting for you in the living room this morning."

"it is good."

Shen Yao nodded slightly to the butler.

The housekeeper still addresses her as Miss Shen.

The butler had served Old Master Bo for so many years, and the bond between the two was stronger than that between ordinary people.

Therefore, the housekeeper's attitude towards Shen Yao is enough to prove that Old Master Bo still does not acknowledge Shen Yao as his granddaughter-in-law.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel uncomfortable.

However, Shen Yao is very good at maintaining consistency.

Regardless of whether Old Master Bo acknowledges her as his granddaughter-in-law, she won't let herself be sad for too long.

Over the years, she has been too concerned about what others think of her.

That's why she's so internally conflicted.

The housekeeper led Shen Yao to the living room.

Mr. Bo sat upright in the center of the black leather sofa in the living room.

A pair of sharp eyes had been observing Shen Yao ever since she walked in.

Those were eyes as sharp as knives.

Shen Yao could feel the discomfort emanating from Old Master Bo's piercing gaze.

"grandfather."

Even though she was very uneasy inside, Shen Yao still appeared calm on the surface.

She stopped about a meter away from Old Master Bo, bowed slightly to him, and greeted him.

Old Master Bo was quite surprised to see her so calm.

He nodded slightly and gestured with his chin toward the nearest armchair.

"sit down."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Shen Yao sat down diagonally opposite Old Master Bo.

Old Master Bo gave the butler a look.

The butler understood and quickly took out an agreement from his briefcase, handing it to Shen Yao with both hands.

"Miss Shen, please take a look. This is the divorce agreement drafted by our second young master."

Shen Yao doubted that she had heard correctly.

"divorce agreement?"

Old Master Bo finally saw when Shen Yao broke down.

He said coldly, "Ash went to America to see his ex-girlfriend. Didn't he tell you?"

Shen Yao sat blankly on the sofa, her mind a complete mess.

Judging from your expression, you probably don't know yet.

Old Master Bo looked at Shen Yao with a sympathetic gaze.

Do you know why Ash hasn't gotten married yet?

Shen Yao remained silent.

She doesn't want to say a word right now.

When Old Master Bo saw the sadness on her face, a triumphant look appeared on his aged face.

"It seems Ash didn't tell you about his past. I thought you two had a great relationship, but it turns out it's nothing special."

The butler refilled Mr. Bo's tea with hot water.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Old Master Bo began to talk about Bo Yuxiu's past.
