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

"Okay, if Shen Yao is willing to go with you, I will let her go."

Gu Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jiajia doubted that she had heard correctly.

This man actually took pity on Shen Yao and let her go?

"Mr. Gu, you'd better keep your word."

Lu Jiajia was worried that the man might change his mind, so she added this sentence.

Gu Tianyou drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

He stood up, walked up to Lu Jiajia, and said meaningfully, "If Shen Yao is willing to let go, then I will grant her wish."

Lu Jiajia stared in surprise at the noble and arrogant man in front of her.

She suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.

Men are still as arrogant as ever; that hasn't changed.

However, the man had lost his former ferocity.

Has time smoothed out the sharp edges of a man?

Oh well, whatever. What does it matter to Lu Jiajia what a man becomes?

Our main goal today is to take Shen Yao away.

Lu Jiajia gave Gu Tianyou a confident smile.

"Okay, it's a deal! If Yao Yao is willing to come with me, then you are not allowed to stop her!"

"It's a deal!" Gu Tianyou smiled at Lu Jiajia.

In the spacious and bright study, Shen Yao was reading a book.

Although she had recovered, Gu Tianyou still wouldn't allow her to go to work at the research institute or hospital.

Therefore, she simply delegated the management of the research institute and hospital to her subordinates.

Every weekend, I listen to reports from the research institute and the company via video conference.

After finishing her work, she would read books.

They were reading advanced and difficult medical books.

When Lu Jiajia walked in, she saw Shen Yao looking at human anatomy diagrams in a foreign book written entirely in English.

"Yaoyao, I really admire you. Even during your breaks, you read these brain-teasing books!"

Hearing her friend's voice, Shen Yao looked up and saw Lu Jiajia walking over swaggeringly.

She quickly stood up, hugged her friend, and said happily, "Jiajia, it's been so long since I've seen you!"

Lu Jiajia hugged her friend tightly and hugged her back with a smile.

"Yes, it's been a long time, probably more than half a year."

Where have you been for the past six months?

"I'm thinking about how to save you from this marriage."

"help me?"

Shen Yao let go of her friend, puzzled.

Looking confused, he asked, "Why did you save me?"

When Lu Jiajia saw that Shen Yao's face did not show the happiness and anticipation she had imagined, her heart sank.

"Yaoyao, are you unhappy and I'll come to save you?"

Shen Yao was even more confused.

Why did you save me?

Lu Jiajia became a little anxious, "Didn't you always say you wanted to get rid of Gu Tianyou?"

Shen Yao frowned and repeated her friend's words.

"Get rid of Gu Tianyou?"

Lu Jiajia nodded, "Yes, get rid of Gu Tianyou! And Gu Tianyou has promised me that as long as you're willing to come with me, she'll give you your freedom!"

After hearing her friend's words, Shen Yao's confusion deepened.

“Didn’t you say that Gu Tianyou is my husband and I am his wife? Why would I leave him? Jiajia, I don’t remember anything from before, but during this time, Gu Tianyou has been very good to me. So good that I feel he is a gentle man, a man I can entrust my life to.”

Listening to Shen Yao's evaluation of Gu Tianyou, Lu Jiajia felt as if she had heard a huge joke.

Is Gu Tianyou gentle?

Can Gu Tianyou be entrusted with one's life?

This is a dark humor joke, isn't it?

Lu Jiajia still couldn't believe that Shen Yao, who had been clamoring to leave Gu Tianyou, was actually praising him.

She grabbed Shen Yao's shoulders and said with heartache, "Yao Yao, is there something you can't tell me? Tell me now, and I will definitely help you if I can."

Shen Yao looked at Lu Jiajia in confusion and shook her head.

“I’m really doing quite well now, and Gu Tianyou is good to me.”

"He's nice to you? That's because you don't know him..."

Halfway through her sentence, Lu Jiajia suddenly changed her mind.

Because she knew she couldn't say any more.

The reason Shen Yao became the way she is today is because she couldn't bear the truth about Haoxuan's death and was traumatized.

Lu Jiajia couldn't say.

She couldn't say.

Controlling her anger and suppressing her resentment, she looked at Shen Yao and continued, "Is Gu Tianyou really good to you? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Lu Jiajia's biggest wish is for Shen Yao to be happy.

As long as she is happy, Lu Jiajia is at ease.

Seeing how worried Lu Jiajia was about her, Shen Yao gently hugged Lu Jiajia.

“I don’t want to lie to you. Gu Tianyou, he’s really good to me now. I don’t know what he was like before, but now he’s a really gentle and considerate husband.”

While Shen Yao was speaking, Lu Jiajia kept staring into her eyes.

Shen Yao's eyes were clear and bright, and she did not shy away from Lu Jiajia's scrutiny at all.

No lies.

Having known each other for many years, Lu Jiajia understands Shen Yao well.

If she were to speak, her gaze wouldn't be so resolute.

Lu Jiajia finally sighed and gave a bitter smile.

"Okay, since you and Gu Tianyou are quite happy, then I'm relieved. I was really surprised that Gu Tianyou was able to change for you. Anyway, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

"Jiajia, how have you been lately? Are you still single?" Shen Yao vaguely remembered that Lu Jiajia seemed to have always been single.

"I have a boyfriend, he is a British Chinese, and we plan to get married next month. I'm here today to formally invite you to my wedding."

"Really? You're really getting married?"

"Yes, I'm getting married."

When the topic of marriage came up, Lu Jiajia's serious face gradually gave way to a smile.

Shen Yao gave Lu Jiajia a strong hug.

Congratulations, Jiajia.

The two chatted for nearly an hour before Lu Jiajia left.

Shen Yao offered to escort her to the front gate, but Lu Jiajia firmly refused.

"It's still very cold outside, and you're not fully recovered yet. Just stay in the study and read a book. There's no need for us to be so polite!"

Lu Jiajia stopped Shen Yao, who was about to get up to see her off, and told her to stay in the study and read.

As you walk through the garden and approach the gate...

Lu Jiajia heard hurried footsteps behind her.

She immediately stopped and looked back.

They discovered it was Uncle Wang.

As soon as Uncle Wang saw Lu Jiajia turn her head, he quickened his pace and walked up to her.

"Ms. Lu, could I have a few minutes to speak with you?"

Lu Jiajia had always had a good impression of Uncle Wang, so she immediately agreed.

The two stopped near a secluded flowerbed.

"Uncle Wang, please speak."

Uncle Wang bowed slightly, and when he looked up, his expression became serious.

"Miss Lu, do you wish for the young mistress to be happy?"

Lu Jiajia nodded, "Of course, Yaoyao is my good friend. I hope she can find happiness."

Hearing Lu Jiajia say that, Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

He straightened up and bowed deeply to Lu Jiajia.
