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

Uncle Wang looked at Shen Yao cautiously and said softly, "Young Madam, may I speak to you in private?"

Shen Yao nodded in agreement.

The two turned and walked out of the living room to a small pavilion.

Uncle Wang stopped and bowed slightly to Shen Yao.

Seeing this, Shen Yao quickly supported Uncle Wang's shoulder.

"Uncle Wang, we've known each other for so many years. We're not related by blood, but we're closer than family. Please feel free to speak your mind."

The sun gradually sets in the west.

The last rays of sunlight cast long shadows of the two people.

Shen Yao noticed that Uncle Wang's face was even more somber than the approaching night.

"Young Madam, I have a favor to ask of you."

Uncle Wang was about to kneel down as he spoke.

Shen Yao was startled and rushed over to help Uncle Wang up.

"Uncle Wang, please don't do this. Just tell me what you need. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely do it, okay?"

"No, young mistress, please let me kneel. To be honest, I have failed the old master's trust and caused you to suffer for so many years. I should apologize for my dereliction of duty."

"Uncle Wang, some things are beyond our control. Can you please get up?"

"No, young mistress, let me kneel down and say it, it will make me feel better!"

He is a man after all, and although he is over 50 years old, he still has strength.

Uncle Wang broke free from Shen Yao's hand and knelt on the ground.

Shen Yao couldn't stop her.

“Young Madam, I know very well how much injustice and hurt you have suffered over the years. To be objective, even if Old Master Gu raised you, you are justified if you don’t want to care about the young master’s life or death.”

"However, I still want to ask you to stay and spend your last moments with the young master. This is my selfish wish, and I know I am morally pressuring you, but I have no other choice."

"I don't want to see the young master's remaining years pass by alone."

Uncle Wang knelt on the ground, and by the end of his story, his eyes were already red.

Hearing his words, Shen Yao felt incredibly bitter.

It turns out that over the years, there are still people who understand my hardships and suffering.

But the person who knew all this was actually Uncle Wang.

"Uncle Wang, it's Gu Tianyou who wants a divorce from me. You know that too."

Shen Yao didn't want to agree to Uncle Wang's request so quickly.

Because she knew that what she was about to face was far more complicated than what she was experiencing here.

She had to make sure that Uncle Wang believed in her and trusted her.

Shen Yao stepped forward and helped Uncle Wang up.

Uncle Wang wanted to continue kneeling, but Shen Yao said in a deep voice, "If you continue kneeling, I will leave and will not agree to anything."

After saying that, Shen Yao turned to leave.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang quickly got up.

"Young Madam, please get up, don't be angry!"

Seeing that Uncle Wang had gotten up, Shen Yao stopped in her tracks.

Uncle Wang finally let out a sigh of relief. Remembering what Gu Tianyou had asked him to do, he looked at Shen Yao guiltily and said, "Young Master wants a divorce. You don't need to pay attention to it. As long as you insist on not agreeing, Young Master won't do anything."

"I insist on not getting a divorce?" Shen Yao deliberately asked Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang gave Shen Yao a meaningful look and lowered his voice, saying, "Hey, young mistress, you and the young master grew up together, don't you understand his temperament? The young master..."

"Old Wang, you're here! The young master is looking for you!"

Aunt Wang called out Uncle Wang's name from a great distance.

Uncle Wang was taken aback, turned his head, and glared at Aunt Wang.

"I'm talking to the young mistress right now, I'll be there in a bit."

Only then did Wang Ma notice Shen Yao standing behind Uncle Wang. She smiled sheepishly and turned to attend to her own business.

Before leaving, he instructed Uncle Wang to hurry.

After seeing that Wang Ma had left, Uncle Wang shook his head helplessly before turning his gaze back to Shen Yao.

"Young Madam, you must promise me that no matter what, you will not leave the young master and will not leave him alone again. I am begging you on behalf of Old Master Gu."

After saying that, Uncle Wang was about to kneel again.

Shen Yao quickly supported his shoulders, "Uncle Wang, it's not up to me to decide. As long as Gu Tianyou doesn't do anything excessive again, I can agree to your request."

Uncle Wang was already very satisfied with this answer.

He looked at Shen Yao gratefully.

"Young Madam, please rest assured, I will never do anything excessive to the young master again! If you need anything in the future, you can ask me for help. As long as it's for the young master's good, I will cooperate with you."

Shen Yao wanted to hear those words from Uncle Wang.

"Okay, from this moment on, no matter what I do to Gu Tianyou, you must support me and stand by my side."

Uncle Wang hesitated for a moment.

Shen Yao knew what he was worried about.

"Uncle Wang, I've had countless opportunities to kill him over the years, so why wait until today?"

Uncle Wang gave an awkward smile after his secret was exposed.

He looked at Shen Yao and found that she was staring at him with her clear eyes.

Staring into those eyes, Uncle Wang felt he had nowhere to hide.

In those eyes, he saw Shen Yao's openness and honesty.

It turns out he was just being petty.

"Young Madam, please rest assured, I will cooperate with you."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Shen Yao reached out and gave Uncle Wang a high five.

Gu Tianyou waited and waited in the room, but Uncle Wang still didn't come.

Just as he was about to call Uncle Wang to urge him, Uncle Wang knocked on the door.

"Master, I'm here."

"Enter."

"Master."

After Uncle Wang entered the room, he walked to the bedside, still with a respectful expression.

Gu Tianyou opened his laptop and pointed to a phone number on it.

"Contact a divorce lawyer right now to come and discuss the divorce with the young mistress."

"Young Master, it's late at night, let's talk about it tomorrow. The Young Madam said she's not feeling well."

As Uncle Wang spoke, he carefully observed Gu Tianyou's expression.

They noticed a subtle change in Gu Tianyou's originally solemn and indifferent expression.

Is she feeling unwell?

"Yes, the young mistress said she felt tightness in her chest." Uncle Wang deliberately made up a lie.

Gu Tianyou's eyebrows were almost furrowed together.

"Then call the doctor over to take a look later."

Uncle Wang immediately chimed in, "Young Master, there's no need for that. You and the young mistress are getting a divorce anyway."

Gu Tianyou's face instantly darkened.

"Why not? She's still my wife, at least! I told you to go, so go."

Uncle Wang was secretly pleased to be reprimanded by Gu Tianyou.

He was right.

The young master still has feelings for the young mistress.

However, perhaps because of the accident, he became like this, which is why he deliberately keeps the young mistress at arm's length.

"Young master, I'll go and fetch a doctor right now."

After leaving Gu Tianyou's room, Uncle Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not too late.

If the young master still has feelings for his wife, then there is most likely only one reason why he insists on divorce.

That is, he was afraid of being a burden to the young mistress, and also afraid of being disliked by her.

Yes, once a prodigy, now he can only lie in bed. Any ordinary person would find it hard to face this cruel reality.

So, will the young mistress look down on the young master?
