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

Noon the next day.

After completing the discharge procedures, Shen Yao went straight home.

Feeling uneasy, she took the test strip and went into the bathroom.

When she saw the two lines on the pregnancy test, she was stunned for a long time.

Is she pregnant?

Shen Yao blinked, making sure she wasn't seeing things.

Joy and sadness intertwined.

The child's arrival was both so timely and so untimely.

To put it another way, with him, perhaps I won't be lonely for the rest of my life.

Seeing him is like seeing Bo Yuxu still alive.

It's inappropriate because Bo Yuxiu passed away, and this child has forever lost his biological father.

The company is about to go public, and the hospital is also preparing to officially open for business.

She has too many things to do.

Although she was the boss hiding behind the scenes, the truth could no longer be concealed as her belly grew bigger.

After much thought, Shen Yao decided to tell Lu Jiajia about her pregnancy.

Lu Jiajia was very loyal and immediately drove to her home to discuss countermeasures.

"If Old Master Bo knew he had a grandson, he would be very happy, and perhaps he would be less hostile towards you. Why don't you try telling him?"

"I'm afraid he'll take my child away." Shen Yao subconsciously glanced at her stomach.

Lu Jiajia frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps, Old Master Bo will give you a break for the sake of this child. Moreover, it might even be of great benefit to your career."

The Bo family's influence in Shenzhen needs no further explanation.

With the help of the Bo family, Shen Yao, a woman, would be even more successful in building her career in Shenzhen.

"Forget it, I still don't want to tell Old Master Bo. I'm determined to raise this child myself. The Bo family's influence is deeply entrenched, and I don't want my child to be involved."

"Yaoyao, I will always support you. If it's inconvenient to give birth in China, I will go abroad with you."

Lu Jiajia put her arm around Shen Yao's shoulder and patted her gently.

Thinking of something, she asked another question, "Have you considered finding a father for the child? After all, it's too tiring to take care of a child alone."

Shen Yao shook her head. "It's not like having a father means I won't have to worry about the child. In today's world, where almost every marriage is essentially a 'widow' situation, an inadequate father is practically useless. Besides..."

"And what? Is there some difficulty?" Lu Jiajia asked worriedly.

Shen Yao gave a bitter smile. "Old Master Lu has forbidden me from marrying any man in my life. If he finds out that I've secretly married any man, he will kill me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiajia's expression changed.

I had long heard that Bo Xilai was a ruthless military tycoon who had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

He had countless mercenaries under him, who were specifically tasked with doing shady things.

However, since he mostly did good deeds and punished evil, the president and government turned a blind eye to his behavior.

If Old Master Bo wanted to deal with Shen Yao, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"Old Master Bo, this is simply too much, too heartless. Bo Yuxiu's death wasn't your fault..."

“It’s my fault. If it weren’t for me, Bo Yuxiu would still be the second young master of the Bo family.”

Shen Yao interrupted Lu Jiajia, thinking of Bo Yuxiu, and sadness, like wildly growing weeds, almost suffocated her.

She felt a tightness in her chest, almost unable to breathe, and could only lean on Lu Jiajia and silently shed tears.

Lu Jiajia felt a lump in her throat and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only keep her company and cry silently with red eyes.

The two women leaned back against the sofa by the large bay window until it got dark.

Shen Yao, a rising medical genius and expert in the pharmaceutical field, will have her career severely impacted if it is revealed that she had a child out of wedlock.

What kind of place is Shenzhen?

A dragon's den or a tiger's lair is a place where sharks will rush in and tear apart at the sight of blood.

Shen Yao has been riding high these past two years, overshadowing many of her seniors.

Many people have long envied her.

If Shen Yao's pregnancy and childbirth out of wedlock were to be exposed, the media would surely condemn her.

Those who are envious will surely take the opportunity to turn the tables and kick someone when they're down.

Therefore, Shen Yao is likely to face a life of bloodshed and turmoil ahead.

Shen Yao knew.

Lu Jiajia knew that too.

Therefore, when Gu Tianyou called, Lu Jiajia's eyes lit up.

"Are you home? I've ordered dinner for you, it'll be delivered soon."

On the phone, Gu Tianyou's voice was unusually gentle.

This made Shen Yao very uncomfortable.

"Thank you, no need."

Lu Jiajia snatched Shen Yao's phone and said, "Yes, yes. Yao Yao hasn't eaten all day. Bring it over quickly."

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."

Upon hearing Gu Tianyou's words, Lu Jiajia immediately and decisively hung up the phone.

Shen Yao looked at Lu Jiajia with a puzzled expression, "Why did you ask Gu Tianyou to bring dinner over? I don't need his concern."

Lu Jiajia gently shook Shen Yao's shoulder, a sly glint in her eyes.

"This man has hurt you so deeply, don't you intend to do anything about it?"

Shen Yao was slightly taken aback.

She didn't want to think about the past.

Thinking about it brings back a flood of painful memories.

So sometimes she chooses to forget.

Only in this way can I feel better.

Moreover, with Bo Yuxiu's help over the past two years, she has gradually emerged from the shadows of the past.

She really didn't want to look back.

"Forget it, Gu Tianyou... it's best to stay away from him."

“No, Yao Yao, perhaps you can use him for many things. For example, make him the father of the child in your belly,” Lu Jiajia explained.

Shen Yao listened, feeling utterly shocked.

At first, she was very resistant.

After all, that was her and Bo Yuxu's child.

However, sometimes when a person's dark side is triggered, it's like a black hole, causing them to sink deeper and deeper.

"Yaoyao, have you forgotten? Your first child, your hearing, your youth, all ruined by this man, Gu Tianyou. If he knew anything, he shouldn't be harassing you like this. But what is he doing now? He's relentlessly pursuing you."

Shen Yao sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Something deep within her was touched.

.......

Before Gu Tianyou arrived at Shen Yao's house.

He called Mr. Bo.

"Why did you make such cruel conditions for Shen Yao? You clearly told me that as long as I cooperated with you, I would get Shen Yao."

"Mr. Gu, Shen Yao was saved by my grandson with his life. Even if my grandson dies, I will not allow anyone else to covet the person my grandson has set his sights on. Do you understand?"

"You old soldier, are you trying to play me?" Gu Tianyou clenched his teeth so tightly that he almost broke them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, but the pain can't be borne by an old man like me alone."
