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

Chapter 36 She really changed
Song Jin'an nodded dejectedly, and was led back to her bedroom to rest by Lin Ma, who stuffed a fruit platter into her hands.

Su Ruoya followed Gu Xijue to the company. When they arrived at the president's office, Gu Xijue was still angry and looked at the woman behind him with a bit more impatience.

He looked at Su Ruoya and said, "I have a meeting later. If you're not busy, you can go back now."

Su Ruoya really didn't expect to be asked to leave by Gu Xijue. After all, he was so angry with Song Jin'an in the villa just now, but he took good care of her and wouldn't allow that woman Song Jin'an to hurt her in the slightest.

She had her own thoughts in mind: "Xijue, that's enough, let's eat first."

“Your stomach has always been weak, and you’ve had a lot of social engagements these past few years. You need to eat on time. Let’s go to that Chinese restaurant.”

There's a Chinese restaurant near the Gu family's place, which was her and Gu Xijue's favorite place to go; the food has always been pretty good.

Gu Xijue had no appetite right now. He turned on his computer and subtly declined, saying, "It's too late to go eat now. I have an important meeting in an hour."

Rejected again, Su Ruoya didn't know what to say. She knew when to advance and when to retreat, and if she didn't know when to back down, the man in front of her would get angry.

So she thoughtfully pressed the internal line on the landline, and Wei Zhou appeared in the office within a minute.

"Mr. Gu, are you looking for me?"

After Wei Zhou finished speaking, he smiled slightly at Su Ruoya and nodded in acknowledgment: "Miss Su."

"Go order some food for Xijue." After saying that, she turned to look at Gu Xijue: "You should eat a good meal before the meeting to nourish your stomach."

Gu Xijue's expression improved slightly; it wasn't as gloomy as it had been at the beginning.

"I understand, you go back first."

"Okay, then remember to eat well." After Su Ruoya finished speaking, she emphasized it to Wei Zhou again before leaving the office.

After everyone left, Wei Zhou was about to speak when Gu Xijue looked up, about to hand him the documents in his hand, but then seemed to remember something: "Tell them that no one is allowed to be absent from today's meeting."

"Okay, Mr. Gu." After Wei Zhou left, he relayed the message and made a meal order.

Judging from the boss's mood, he seemed to be in a bad mood. And thinking about the meeting this afternoon, I guessed that someone would be criticized again.

Don't repeat the mistake of last time, firing people in a fit of anger. The HR department is already suffering terribly.

Wei Zhou posted Gu Xijue's order in the middle and senior management group, which terrified those who still had projects in hand.

I barely ate a couple of bites of lunch before starting to carefully review the items I was going to present at the meeting, my heart pounding.

……

As expected, Gu Xijue flew into a rage at this meeting, and several project leaders even had their bonuses deducted.

Wei Zhou was driving the car.

"Let's go to the banquet."

Wei Zhou's original route was back to the villa, but halfway there, Gu Xijue said he was going to the banquet, so he turned the car around.

Duan Nan was having a great time at the banquet, even dancing intimately with a hot girl, when he unexpectedly saw Gu Xijue arrive.

His head was spinning. Shouldn't this person be incredibly busy?
Busy dealing with the matter of the little mute's adoptive mother, how come he has time to come to his territory?

A bad thought popped into Duan Nan's head. "No way, no way!" He immediately let go of the beautiful woman and ran up to Gu Xijue: "You're not here to cause trouble, are you?"

"Let me tell you, Gu Xijue, I put a lot of thought and effort into decorating this shop. If you get carried away and smash it up, we can't be friends anymore!"

Gu Xijue stared coldly at him, leaning against the wall, and said with a sneer, "I'm here to have a drink with you." Duan Nanhe thought this guy was a bit crazy. They had just had a fight, and less than two days later, he was back in front of him.

But he actually found it somewhat amusing, so he leaned against the wall, crookedly, and said with a grin, "Is everything sorted out?"

He was about to make a few more jokes when he heard Gu Xijue speak in a gloomy voice: "Ask that? Do you want to get beaten up again?"

Duan Nanhe felt that he really shouldn't meddle in the affairs of the three of them. What did it have to do with him?

He had no desire to get involved in this war at all. This time, he finally understood what it meant to stay out of it. Thinking of this, Song Jin'an's pitiful eyes came to mind again.

He also thought that if the little mute girl came to him for help again, he would still choose to help her.

Song Jin'an seems to possess this kind of magic.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. It's like I'm the one who's eagerly asking." Duan Nanhe waved his hand.

"Come on, let's drink."

The two went up to their private second floor. Halfway through their drinks, Duan Nanhe remembered Xiao Yi and took out his phone: "It's no fun drinking with just the two of us. Let's call Xiao Yi over too."

Gu Xijue drank his wine without saying a word, and Duan Nanhe took it as his tacit agreement.

After making the call, he hung up after only a few words, clinked glasses, and said, "He has something to do and can't come."

"Tonight, it'll just be me drinking with you."

Gu Xijue stared intently at his wine glass. Just then, his phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the caller ID, and placed it on the bar without answering.

Meanwhile, Duan Nanhe stared at his phone screen like a curious child, giving Gu Xijue, who was drinking, a meaningful look: "You're not answering her calls?"

It was Su Ruoya's call.

Gu Xijue was a little annoyed and frowned: "I don't want to answer."

"That's quite a rare thing. How could you not want to answer her call?" Duan Nan clicked his tongue a few times, and neither of them said anything more.

The phone rang repeatedly for several minutes, and Gu Xijue's brows furrowed more and more. He hung up the phone, pinched his brow, and the screen never lit up again.

He downed several more mouthfuls of wine, seemingly venting and seeking an outlet for his emotions.

Finally, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "She's changed."

Duan Nanhe paused as he was pouring wine, realizing that Gu Xijue was referring to Su Ruoya. He smiled, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of century-old vintage, opened it, and smelled it: "Not bad, good wine."

He took out two new wine glasses from the wine cabinet, poured wine into them, and then pushed them to Gu Xijue.

"People are going to change."

Gu Xijue was silent for a while, then said, "She has changed so much that I almost don't recognize her anymore."

Duan Nanhe understood: Gu Xijue could not accept that his beloved had become a worldly person who would harm innocent others for personal gain.

Just like the undeserved disaster that Grandma Zhang suffered this time.

Duan Nanhe chuckled, maintaining his nonchalant demeanor: "You came here to drown your sorrows over something so trivial? Are you still the same young master Gu I know?"
