After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 2 Birthday Banquet at the Old House
Gu Xijue immediately went into his study; he still had company matters to attend to.

Originally, Song Jin'an remembered to go downstairs to ask Lin Ma for birth control pills. After all, she knew very well that even if she got pregnant unexpectedly, she would only be dragged into the hospital to have an abortion. She believed that Gu Xijue was capable of doing it. Before this, he had said that she should not try to use a child to tie him down.

However, because the online classes I signed up for had already started live streaming, I was so eager to watch them that I forgot about getting the birth control pills.

When Lin's mother went into the bedroom to change the bedding, she saw the mess and went to get the birth control pills, which she handed to Song Jin'an, who was concentrating on her online class.

"Madam, the medicine."

Lin's mother patted Song Jin'an on the shoulder, then handed her the water glass and medicine.

There were so many times like this that Song Jin'an didn't even take her eyes off the tablet before she picked up her water glass and drank her medicine.

Lin's mother glanced at the online class that Song Jin'an was watching. She sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of sadness. She was clearly the youngest daughter of the prestigious Song family in Haicheng, but unfortunately, she was an illegitimate child.

When Song Jin'an was three or four years old, Song Tanming brought her home from outside the Song family. Song Tanming was overjoyed to have a daughter in his middle age. Song Jin'an was also clever and quick-witted as a child, which pleased Song Tanming. Unfortunately, a few years later, Song Jin'an somehow became mute. Everyone said that it was Song Tanming's wife who did it.

When Song Jin'an was seven years old, Song Tanming died in a car accident while on a business trip. After the funeral, Song Jin'an was abandoned by Song Tanming's wife, Liu Qin, and raised as a maid.

The original intention was to torment her, the illegitimate daughter, but unexpectedly, when Song Jin'an was twenty years old, because Liu Qin's lover's investment failed and he ran away with all the liquid funds abroad, the Song family faced the situation of being acquired at a low price by their old enemy, the Gu family.

Liu Qin didn't want the Song family to be acquired by the Gu family, but she also didn't want to sacrifice her own daughter's happiness. So, she drugged Song Jin'an, washed her naked, packed her up, and gave her to Gu Xijue, who was drowning his sorrows in a bar after his failed marriage proposal. The next day, photos of the two of them naked in bed together made the front page of major newspapers in Haicheng. The head of the Gu Group slept in bed with the illegitimate daughter of the bankrupt Song family, who was also a mute who had never attended school.

The Gu family naturally refused to take responsibility, while the Song family certainly wouldn't let go of the fat sheep that was already in their mouths. So they tried every means to finally get Song Jin'an into the Gu family and make her the Gu family's young mistress, who was not recognized by the Gu family.

Song Jin'an can be described as a dog that the Gu family has raised for three years.

Gu Xijue didn't wait to go back to the old house with Song Jin'an. Instead, he drove off first. It was Lin Ma who called the driver to pick up his wife and take her back to the old house.

When they arrived at the Gu family's old residence, the driver did not let Song Jin'an get out of the car through the main gate. Because it was the old man's 80th birthday, and there were many people coming and going, the old man and his wife would not want this mute young mistress to appear in front of everyone and make a fool of themselves in front of them. So he drove the car to the small archway that the servants usually entered through and made Song Jin'an bend down to go in.

Seeing that she had gone inside, he left with peace of mind.

Not far away was the open-air hall where tonight's banquet would be held, where a few figures were already gathered, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu Donglin were greeting guests.

Just then, a piercing scream suddenly rang out in the garden, drawing everyone's attention.
