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

Upon hearing these words, the last trace of a smile on Lu Ning's face vanished completely.

At that moment, he felt a chill creeping up from his feet and spreading throughout his body.

He stared directly at Gu Tianyou, asking incredulously, "Tianyou, you actually want to see a dead person every day?"

Gu Tianyou, who had been quiet all along, suddenly became excited.

"No, Haoxuan isn't dead! He's not dead! You're talking nonsense!"

Lu Ning stared at Gu Tianyou, whose face had become contorted with excitement, and her breath caught in her throat.

He suddenly grabbed Gu Tianyou's shoulder and shouted at him.

“Ayou, wake up, stop deceiving yourself. I know you feel guilty about Haoxuan’s death, but you can’t live in a fantasy forever. You have to face reality to move forward.”

Gu Tianyou shook his head again.

"No, Haoxuan is not dead. He was just angry. He told me not to get close to Shen Yao anymore, and I listened to him. I really didn't go near Shen Yao again."

“Lu Ning, you should leave. Your arrival scared him, and he hid. I can’t find him.”

Listening to Gu Tianyou's incoherent ramblings and seeing his dazed expression and eyes, Lu Ning realized that the man's condition was already very serious.

Lu Ning once again produced the photos from Hao Xuan's funeral and forced Gu Tianyou to confront them.

But Gu Tianyou simply didn't believe it.

"You're trying to sow discord, I won't fall for it."

Lu Ning remained silent.

He really wanted to kneel down before this ancestor.

But a last shred of reason prevented him from doing so.

Lu Ning tried to calm his excited emotions.

He placed his hand on Gu Tianyou's shoulder and patted it gently.

"Ayou, don't worry, no matter what, I will help you get out of this predicament. Just wait for me."

After saying this, Lu Ning walked out of the room and went directly through the living room to the banquet hall.

Shen Yao was still surrounded by the crowd.

All the family and friends are celebrating the newborn's one-month birthday.

Looking at this harmonious scene, Lu Ning knew that it would be too cruel to disrupt it, but he had no choice.

In order for Gu Tianyou to receive timely treatment and to gain understanding, he had to break the current festive atmosphere.

He walked quickly over to Shen Yao's side.

"Yaoyao, Ayou needs you right now."

The smile on Shen Yao's face gradually froze.

"What's gotten into him this time?"

Hearing Shen Yao say this, Lu Ning was somewhat incredulous.

Could it be that Shen Yao knows about Gu Tianyou's situation?

"Yaoyao, Tianyou is sick. Only you can cure him."

Shen Yao frowned.

"He's sick, so he should see a doctor. What's the use of coming to me? I'm not a doctor."

Seeing Shen Yao's cold attitude, Lu Ning became somewhat angry.

"Yaoyao, how could you say that?! Tianyou is your husband now, and the father of your child!"

"Yes, because he is now my husband and the father of my children, I don't dwell too much on the past. Isn't that enough? What more do you want me to do for this man?"

"I......."

Lu Ning was speechless for a moment.

As Gu Tianyou's childhood friend, Lu Ning was fully aware of everything that had happened between him and Shen Yao.

He knew that Gu Tianyou had indeed wronged Shen Yao in the past.

Therefore, at this moment, faced with Shen Yao's angry questioning, he had no way to retort.

Both of them fell silent.

A minute later, Shen Yao asked to return to the banquet hall.

Lu Ning stopped her.

Indeed, I have wronged Shen Yao in the past, especially towards Gu Tianyou.

That's all in the past.

No one can travel back in time to make up for regrets.

Therefore, Lu Ning felt that cherishing everything in front of him was the most important thing.

"Yaoyao, can't we let the past be the past? What's important is the present."

“I thought so too. But when I decided to let go of the past and live a good life with Gu Tianyou, this man brought up divorce again. Lu Ning, I’ve had enough of this man’s way of doing whatever he wants and his complete disregard for human life! I have no demands of him now. We just need to live under the same roof and not bother each other.”

Shen Yao's indifference and decisiveness shocked Lu Ning.

What happened between these two that I don't know about, that led them to this point?

After thinking it over, he decided to try to persuade him properly.

"Shen Yao, just for a moment. Go check on Ayou now, and you'll understand why I'm in such a hurry to find you!"

Lu Ning gently persuaded Shen Yao, not daring to provoke her any further.

Having gone through so much, Lu Ning could sense the changes in this woman.

She became increasingly indifferent.

Especially in his treatment of Gu Tianyou.

Shen Yao didn't want to see Gu Tianyou.

"Today is Chengjun's one-month birthday. I don't want to argue with him, so I'd better not go see him."

After saying that, Shen Yao turned to leave.

Lu Ning grabbed her arm.

"Shen Yao, you can't leave. You have to see Ayou today, whether you want to or not!"

With her arm grabbed, Shen Yao couldn't move forward and could only turn around to look at Lu Ning.

"You really are Gu Tianyou's good friend!"

Seeing the anger in Shen Yao's eyes, Lu Ning's gaze flickered slightly.

"I'm sorry, for Ayou's sake, I have to apologize to you."

As he spoke, Lu Ning pulled Shen Yao along, walking step by step toward Gu Tianyou's room.

Uncle Wang happened to be passing by and saw it, so he quickly came over to ask what was going on.

Lu Ning gave Shen Yao a deep look before saying to Uncle Wang, "Ayou is not feeling well. I wanted your young mistress to take a look at him, but she absolutely refused. I had no choice but to resort to force."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang's expression changed.

Has the young master developed another health problem?

Sigh, young mistress, you're still angry with the young master after all.

He looked up at Shen Yao and, as expected, saw the reluctance in her eyes.

He quickly thought of a solution and tried to speak to Shen Yao in the gentlest tone possible.

"Young Master Lu, please let go of Madam. I believe Madam will be willing to see you, right, Madam?"

Shen Yao and Lu Ning are about the same age.

She doesn't have to give Lu Ning any face.

But we can't disrespect Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang has taken care of her for so many years; he is not only a servant but also an elder and a relative.

Shen Yao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Okay, I'll go see Gu Tianyou."

Hearing Shen Yao say that, Uncle Wang smiled and gave Lu Ning a wink.

Lu Ning finally let go of Shen Yao's arm.

Shen Yao rubbed her sore arms before entering Gu Tianyou's room with Lu Ning.

Gu Tianyou remained seated by the window, but with his back to them.

Lu Ning said cautiously, "Tianyou, Yaoyao is here. She can tell you the answer, and she can also tell you what reality is and what illusion is."

Shen Yao found Lu Ning's words strange.

"What reality, what illusion? What do you want me to talk to him about?"
