"I had someone investigate you shortly after you and Ruoruo got married. I know how you treat my precious granddaughter, so I will never let her stay with you and let you continue to ruin her."
"I......"
Feng Zhiyuan interrupted Xian Mingyu, "Don't tell me you've really changed and will treat her well. I don't believe in that stuff... I'll say it again: since you've set her free, don't try to interfere in her life anymore. In her world, you can only be a passerby."
The old man had nothing more to say to Xian Mingyu, so he turned around and slowly walked upstairs.
This was a warning, and also advice; he hoped that Hsien Ming-yu would truly understand.
He and Bai Xiaoruo were from completely different worlds; he was not good enough for her.
As long as I am alive, I will never agree to Bai Xiaoruo having anything to do with Xian Mingyu again.
Xian Mingyu knew that Feng Zhiyuan was telling him to leave, so he didn't linger and got up to leave the room.
He didn't take what Feng Zhiyuan said seriously at all.
What passersby, what suitability—these are all just standard jokes.
No one is born a perfect match. He and Bai Xiaoruo didn't fall in love at first sight either.
The important thing is that Bai Xiaoruo still has feelings for him, and he likes her too. That's enough. Why should we care about the opinions of so many people around us?
So what if they get divorced? As long as there's no other man by her side... no, even if she does fall in love with someone else, he won't allow it.
As he walked in the courtyard, his hands, which were hanging by his sides, gradually tightened and slowly clenched into fists. He glanced back at the direction of Bai Xiaoruo's room on the second floor.
Bai Xiaoruo, I've reserved you for life, and I will never let you go!

Gu Yao first drove Ji Shushu home, and then walked towards the company with Xian Mingyu.
Xian Mingyu rolled down the car window, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the car, lit one, took a puff with a troubled mind, his mind filled with Bai Xiaoruo's image.
This pace is far too slow.
More than half a month has passed since the divorce, and there is still little chance of him and her remarrying. At this rate, how long will it take before she can come back to his side?
"Mingyu, we have results regarding Yuluo and the identity of the man in prison..." Gu Yao's expression was somewhat grave.
He was quite surprised when he saw the report, but regardless of Su Yuluo's character, Xuan Mingyu still had the right to know.
"Let's talk about it when we get back to the company. I don't really want to hear about her right now."
"I see."
"By the way, what's the situation between you and Ji Shushu?"
Today, outside Bai Xiaoruo's school library, Xian Mingyu was one of the witnesses. He never expected that Gu Yao would be even more capable than him, directly pinning Ji Shushu down in broad daylight.
Moreover, in the past few months, Ji Shushu has frequently come to the company to see Gu Yao, and you can see her every few days.
Hsien Ming-yu really didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on between them.
"What...what's going on?"
"Stop pretending. She comes to the company to see you all the time. It's not the first time I've seen her... You really should settle down. Your parents have been urging you to find a partner for a long time now. Your grandfather even called to complain to me the day before yesterday, asking me to find you a few good partners."
"What's the rush? Let them urge us if they want."
"What about Ji Shushu?"
Gu Yao's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened, remembering how he had kissed her in a moment of impulse on the school lawn earlier that day... It was the first time he had ever kissed a girl, the soft, slightly sweet touch...
No, how could that be... How could he possibly have any feelings for that fierce tigress?
"You're overthinking it. I want to live a few more years."
"Whatever you want. If you really don't like her, stay away from her. After all... she's Bai Xiaoruo's friend. If you bully her, that little girl won't let you off the hook."
"Of course I know that. We'll see. Maybe one day I'll really lose my mind and end up like you, accepting a random partner arranged by my grandfather. Anyway, it won't be Ji Shushu."
Just like Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu, wasn't it their grandfather who strongly encouraged them to get together? Although they are divorced now, when they were all lovey-dovey back then, Gu Yao would get goosebumps just looking at them.
"You make it sound so easy. If she heard you say that, she'd be heartbroken."
"Otherwise what? Hesitation is not my style."
***
Back at the company, Gu Yao took out the stack of documents from under his desk.
It contains all the information about Su Yulu over the years, as well as the identity of the man who is currently imprisoned and his confession about why he was determined to kill Su Yulu.
"Mingyu, before you look at these things, I hope you will stay calm and not act impulsively."
Xuan Mingyu glanced at the thick stack of documents in Gu Yao's hand. Could it be that the secrets she didn't know were far more numerous than he had imagined? There were so many.
"Don't worry, I have the measurements. Here you go."
Gu Yao glanced at the information in his hand, hoping that what he had investigated was all false. He never expected that his friend, whom he had treated sincerely for so many years, would be this kind of person. And Xuan Mingyu had once liked Su Yulu so much... If he knew the truth, he would probably be like that man in prison, wanting to strangle her.
