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

"Master, what did you say?"

Uncle Wang could hardly believe his ears.

Uncle Wang had witnessed how Gu Tianyou had relentlessly pursued Shen Yao over the past few years.

After his second marriage, Gu Tianyou hired mercenaries who stayed at home every day, just in case Shen Yao ran away.

Uncle Wang was a servant.

However, because he had been with Grandpa Gu for a long time, he had accumulated a lot of connections and resources.

He had also heard some rumors.

The reason why Shen Yao and Bo Yuxiu divorced was inseparable from Gu Tianyou's interference.

Uncle Wang understands Gu Tianyou; he is stubborn and very strong-willed.

At first, he acted indifferent and aloof towards Shen Yao.

It wasn't until he saw that Shen Yao and Bo Yuxiu were really together that he started to get anxious.

In order to bring Shen Yao back to his side, Gu Tianyou even resorted to some less-than-clean methods.

Uncle Wang knew all of this.

Now, Gu Tianyou says he wants to draft a divorce agreement.

Uncle Wang almost blurted out, "Young Master, you and Young Madam have come so far with so much hardship, are you really willing to give up?"

Gu Tianyou tightened his grip on the blanket little by little.

He was silent.

This silence was enough to prove his reluctance to part.

Seeing his reaction, Uncle Wang stepped forward and patiently explained.

"Young Master, the doctor said that if you take good care of yourself, you still have a chance to recover. Please don't give up! I believe that the young mistress is not the kind of person who would abandon you!"

"She doesn't know now, but what about later? What will I do if she leaves me?"

Gu Tianyou's chest heaved violently, his emotions fluctuating.

He gazed at the fireworks bursting in the night sky and sneered.

“Even filial piety can be tested by the bedside of a chronically ill parent, let alone a husband and wife. Shen Yao doesn’t love me. Perhaps she’s staying by my side now only out of guilt. But when I’m bedridden for three or five years, she’ll definitely despise and hate me. Rather than waiting until then to be abandoned by her, it’s better to end it now.”

"Young Master, please don't be so pessimistic. The Young Madam is not that kind of person."

"Uncle Wang, would you stay by the side of someone you don't love for the rest of your life? Especially someone who is even a cripple?"

"Young Master, I think you're taking this too extreme..."

Uncle Wang wanted to say something more.

However, Gu Tianyou waved his hand, stopping him from continuing.

"Go get my laptop. I'll draft a divorce agreement right now. You can call a divorce lawyer later."

"Young Master, calm down and think it over carefully. Don't make another impulsive decision because of a momentary impulse."

Uncle Wang spoke earnestly and patiently.

Sigh, wasn't this exactly what Shen Yao said when she wanted a divorce?

Despite her reluctance, she impulsively agreed to the divorce.

It took several years before he was able to remarry Shen Yao.

"This is a decision I've made after careful consideration. Uncle Wang, go and get my computer right now. That's an order!"

Uncle Wang remained standing still.

He shouldn't have interfered in the private relationship between Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao.

However, he's grown tired of watching them break up and get back together over the years.

Both of them are getting on in years; they can no longer treat marriage as a game.

"Young Master, have you discussed the divorce with the Young Madam? Did she agree?"

These two questions stumped Gu Tianyou instantly.

Shen Yao was unaware of the divorce proceedings, let alone discussed them with her.

Divorce was something Gu Tianyou was determined to do.

Gu Tianyou's silence said it all.

Uncle Wang gritted his teeth and let out a long sigh.

“Young Master, marriage is not a matter for one person, but for two people. Shouldn’t you have a good talk with the young mistress? It’s a matter of respect for her.”

"What's there to discuss? I forced her into getting the marriage certificate behind her back. She should be happy about that. I've finally divorced her."

As Gu Tianyou spoke, his expression darkened.

Uncle Wang was so anxious that he stomped his feet when he saw that Gu Tianyou still didn't get it.

"Young Master, if you want a divorce, go and talk to the Young Madam yourself."

"Uncle Wang, aren't you listening to me anymore? I need you to go get my computer first!"

Perhaps it was because of emotional distress.

Gu Tianyou coughed violently.

Uncle Wang quickly went over and helped him sit up on the bed.

"Young Master, please don't get agitated. I'll go get your computer."

"Go quickly."

Gu Tianyou was still coughing.

Uncle Wang quickly placed a tissue box from the bedside in front of him.

Gu Tianyou pulled out three tissues in a row, covered his mouth, and coughed violently several times.

When he removed the tissue, he saw bright red bloodstains on it.

Uncle Wang's pupils contracted slightly.

"Young Master, you?"

Gu Tianyou quickly crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to the bed.

He looked coldly at Uncle Wang and said decisively, "My decision to divorce is not an impulsive one. Shen Yao is still young; she can find a good man to spend the rest of her life with, instead of me, a dead man who's about to die."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he could no longer utter a single word.

He paused for a moment, then finally nodded.

He opened the door, went into the study, and took Gu Tianyou's computer.

On New Year's Eve, Gu Tianyou endured the discomfort in his chest and spent nearly two hours drafting a divorce agreement.

"After the divorce, half of my property will go to Shen Yao."

"If I die, my remaining property will also belong to her."

"In addition, I have also left you and Wang Ma enough savings to ensure you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives."

Uncle Wang listened to Gu Tianyou's instructions and kept shaking his head.

"Young Master, why are you doing this?"

Gu Tianyou sent the divorce agreement to Uncle Wang's email address. "Contact a divorce lawyer tomorrow morning, the sooner the better."

Uncle Wang opened his phone, saw Gu Tianyou's divorce agreement, and responded softly.

The next day, just as dawn broke.

Shen Yao hurriedly washed up, dressed, and knocked on Gu Tianyou's door.

A deep sound came from the room.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Yao pressed her ear against the door before she could hear the man's voice clearly.

This voice sounds tired; did you not sleep well last night?

Just as Shen Yao was thinking this, a man's voice came from inside the room again, "Come in."

The door opened.

The first person Shen Yao saw was Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang was holding a washbasin, smiling as he wished Shen Yao a Happy New Year.

Shen Yao also wished Uncle Wang a Happy New Year, and then stuffed a very nice wallet into his pocket.

"Uncle Wang, Happy New Year! Wishing you good health!"

"Thank you, young mistress!" Uncle Wang smiled, but his eyes glanced at Gu Tianyou, revealing a worry that was hard for others to notice.

Knowing that Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao had something to say to each other alone, Uncle Wang left the room.

In the large room, only Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao remained.

Shen Yao moved slightly closer to the window, took out a red envelope from her pocket, and placed it in Gu Tianyou's hand.

"Happy New Year, Gu Tianyou! I wish you good health and all the best in the new year."

Holding the red envelope in his hand and looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Gu Tianyou's inner struggle began again.
