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

"The most generous?" Shen Yao sneered. "Attorney Zhang, I don't need this man's money to support myself, so I don't care about his money."

Upon hearing this, it was Attorney Zhang's turn to laugh.

"Mrs. Gu, why are you being so hypocritical? If you don't care, then why did you propose that you would only marry Mr. Gu if you received all of his assets? Isn't that a contradiction?"

"Why? Because I'm happy."

"Happy? Isn't it because of greed?"

Attorney Zhang stared intently into Shen Yao's eyes, creating a tense atmosphere for the negotiation.

Shen Yao glanced at him coldly, then her gaze fell on the documents on the table.

He reached out and picked up the documents on the table, waving them at Attorney Zhang.

"I only have this one condition: Gu Tianyou gives me all his assets, and I will sign the divorce papers. I will not agree to anything else. If you want to take me to court, go ahead."

"Mrs. Gu, your request is outrageous, downright cruel! Mr. Gu is ill, and these expensive imported medicines cost money. If you take away all of Mr. Gu's assets, how will he receive medical treatment in the future?"

Attorney Zhang felt that Shen Yao was simply insatiable.

Even if he takes money to represent people in court, he doesn't make money from all sorts of shady dealings.

As Zhang grew angrier, his tone became increasingly cold.

“Mrs. Gu, if you agree to Mr. Gu’s request for a divorce, you will still have more money than you can spend. However, if you insist on having all of Mr. Gu’s assets, you may end up with nothing.”

"Really? Then let's give it a try."

After saying that, Shen Yao stood up, bid farewell to Attorney Zhang, and strode towards the study door.

As the woman's figure gradually disappeared through the doorway, Attorney Zhang immediately called Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou answered the phone almost instantly.

"What did that woman say?"

It's obvious who the woman is referring to.

Attorney Zhang's icy gaze finally returned from the doorway.

"Mr. Gu, your wife wants all your assets before she will agree to a divorce."

Gu Tianyou thought he hadn't heard clearly at first.

I asked again.

"All my possessions?"

Attorney Zhang solemnly repeated it.

"Yes, your wife said she would only agree to a divorce if all the assets were in her name."

Gu Tianyou paused, then frowned and said, "Didn't you tell her? I will give her enough property to live comfortably for the rest of her life."

Attorney Zhang said, "Mr. Gu, I've already mentioned this."

Gu Tianyou's brows furrowed even deeper.

"So even if you say that, she still wants all my assets?"

Attorney Zhang replied, "Yes, I have reiterated this many times, and the young mistress has heard it. However, her demand remains that she will only agree to a divorce if she receives all of your assets. Mr. Gu, if all else fails, we will have no choice but to file for divorce directly."

File for divorce and go to court?

Gu Tianyou felt a headache just thinking about it.

Given his current physical condition, it is impossible for him to appear in court.

Even with legal representation, it will still have a negative impact on the company.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Once the case goes to court, news of his divorce from Shen Yao will quickly spread like wildfire.

At that time, the company will definitely be in a state of panic, and the stock price will plummet.

Gu Tianyou's recent poor health has caused widespread anxiety among the company's senior management.

He can't make the divorce so public anymore.

"No, we can't file for divorce. Filing for divorce could easily escalate the situation."

"Mr. Gu, if you're not going to sue, what are you planning to do? Mrs. Gu's attitude is very firm; she won't give up until she gets all of your assets. I don't think there's any point in negotiating anymore."

Adhering to the principle of considering Gu Tianyou's best interests, Attorney Zhang offered him advice and solutions.

Because he felt that with Gu Tianyou's power, he could use extraordinary means to force Shen Yao to sign a divorce agreement.

Gu Tianyou did not reply to him in time.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Gu Tianyou's tired voice came through.

"Go back first, I'll have my assistant transfer the money to your account. I'll contact you again later."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

After saying that, Gu Tianyou hung up the phone.

He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, not understanding why Shen Yao wouldn't agree to a divorce.

Does this woman really need money?

Gu Tianyou had already inquired and found out that Shen Yao was not short of money at all, and was even quite wealthy.

She donates one-fifth of her income to charity every month.

Gu Tianyou wouldn't believe that such a woman was greedy for money.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Tianyou drifted off to sleep amidst his wandering thoughts.

There was a knock on the door at that moment.

Gu Tianyou said "Please come in," and the door opened.

He thought it would be a doctor.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was Shen Yao.

Gu Tianyou was somewhat surprised, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

Shen Yao didn't answer her question, but walked straight in.

The door slammed shut behind her with a loud bang.

Gu Tianyou was startled again.

His brows furrowed slightly as he stared at the woman.

I don't understand why she suddenly got so angry.

Shen Yao stood by the bed, grabbed Gu Tianyou's collar with one hand, and forcefully pulled him closer to her body.

Gu Tianyou was about to ask why.

The woman's lips had already covered mine.

Gu Tianyou's eyes widened, his mind like a short-circuited computer, unable to process what he was seeing.

It took him a long time to respond after the woman's lips left hers.

My lips burned.

Gu Tianyou then realized that he had been forcibly kissed by a woman.

While his mind was still contemplating how to deal with women,

A woman's voice came from above.

"Gu Tianyou, I spoke with your lawyer today. Either you give me all your assets and I'll agree to a divorce, or you'll stay with me and make do! It's one or the other."

Gu Tianyou finally came to his senses, the taste of the woman still lingering on his lips.

This was the first time in all these years that he had seen a woman take such initiative.

This made his face flush and turn slightly red.

“Shen Yao, you know that legally, even if a couple divorces and divides their property, you will never get half of my assets. You’re now making outrageous demands, wanting all of my assets. That’s wishful thinking.”

Gu Tianyou said in a very serious tone.

However, his fair face was slightly flushed.

In his mind, all he could think about was the image of the woman who had just forcibly kissed him.

Gu Tianyou seemed somewhat distracted.

But Shen Yao stood in front of him, forcing him to face it.

He had to force himself to stay alert.

Shen Yao reacted coldly after hearing her words.

"You mean I won't get any of your assets? Is that right?"

"Yes, you should give up on that idea as soon as possible."

Gu Tianyou said decisively.

Shen Yao smiled.

Instead of being angry about not getting a share of the property, he showed a relieved smile.

"So you only have one choice, and that is to not divorce me."

Gu Tianyou asked in surprise, "Not getting a divorce?"

Shen Yao nodded, her eyes revealing a chilling glint.

"Do you have any other choice? Gu Tianyou, don't think you can treat me however you want, like before. That's impossible!"
