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

Chapter 38 is a widow
Gu Xijue's gaze was icy, while Song Jin'an's brows furrowed tightly. Did the two of them know each other?
Jiang Ciyu smiled and said lightly, "Mr. Gu, your opinion doesn't count. You should at least listen to your wife's thoughts."

He summed up Gu Xi's utter disrespect for people in a single sentence.

Song Jin'an glanced at the two men. Not wanting to be challenged, her heart sank.

I originally thought this cheerful "sunny boy" wouldn't be like those men, but now it seems he's not much different.

Moreover, she has rarely gone out in recent years and has never attended a high-society banquet, so it is not impossible that she does not know Jiang Ciyu, the second young master of the Jiang family.

Gu Xijue looked at Jiang Ciyu and sneered, "What, is President Jiang going to stand up for someone else's wife?"

"Or is it that President Jiang has also taken a fancy to this mute man who can't speak?"

His words were particularly weighty!
Thinking back to the two of them chatting and laughing together, he couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection. Even if it was a piece of junk that he no longer wanted to play with, no one else was allowed to covet or touch his things!
Song Jin'an's face was very pale, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were almost digging into her flesh.

Gu Xijue never respected her, but Song Jin'an knew that he had always harbored resentment towards her, so when he said some unpleasant things, she could pretend not to hear them and would not argue with him pointlessly.

But he repeatedly humiliated her in front of outsiders!
Song Jin'an pursed her lips tightly, her throat bobbed, and finally couldn't take it anymore. She snatched the phone from Gu Xijue's hand, typed out a line of text, and made a special voice broadcast: "And what about you? You still married me, a mute!"

She glared angrily at the man in front of her and spoke again, this time in a voice message so everyone could hear: "Gu Xijue, don't go too far!"

As if in a fit of pique, she opened the business card again and took the initiative to ask Jiang Ciyu to add her as a friend.

Jiang Ciyu smiled as she looked at Gu Xijue, whose face was full of black lines, and then, right in front of him, she took the initiative to add Song Jin'an as a friend.

After a series of actions, Song Jin'an ignored Xi Jue's expression, packed up all the drawing paper, put the easel in the pavilion, and left.

After she left, Jiang Ciyu crossed his arms, a smile on his face, and looked at Song Jin'an's back: "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu is pregnant, aren't you coming with us? The roads are slippery in the rain."

Gu Xijue glanced at him, said nothing more, and left.

Jiang Ciyu stood there, watching Gu Xijue's departing figure, his eyes slightly narrowed, recalling the woman who had just been laughing and joking with him.

Although he couldn't hear her voice, he could still feel her passion for life, which seemed different from what he had expected.

Before meeting Song Jin'an, Jiang Ciyu thought she was a maggot in a sewer, destined to die in that filthy ditch. But after a brief chat, he realized he had been wrong.

After Song Tanming's death, Song Jin'an was thrown into the household of servants and raised as a servant by her stepmother.

In the years since the Song family used tricks to marry her into the Gu family, the Gu family has never allowed her to appear in public. Her mother-in-law is even looking for a new daughter-in-law, which shows that the Gu family could kick her out at any time.

The incident from more than half a year ago, in which she and Miss Su both fell into the pool, is still a topic of casual conversation.

……

Song Jin'an returned to the villa first. When Lin Ma saw that she hadn't used an umbrella and was all wet, she quickly went to find a towel to wipe herself dry.

"Madam, why did you come back by yourself?"

As Lin's mother spoke, she wiped Song Jin'an's face, saying, "You can't catch a cold. If you catch a cold during pregnancy, you can't take medicine and you can only tough it out, which is very uncomfortable."

She kept looking at the doorway, her hands never stopping: "Didn't the master go to pick up his wife?"

Why didn't the two come back together? Did they just miss each other?
Song Jin'an didn't speak, and her expression was also bad.

Lin Ma didn't notice her expression and said worriedly, "Madam, you should go upstairs and take a hot shower. It will be difficult if you catch a cold."

Song Jin'an nodded, stood up, and took a towel upstairs. Looking at the wet paintings on the table, Lin Ma knew they were her treasures, so she immediately took them to the balcony where they wouldn't get wet and let them dry overnight.

After she finished drying the painting, she went to the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup when Gu Xijue returned.

He wasn't wet. Lin's mother glanced at him and saw two umbrellas in the umbrella stand by the door, indicating that he hadn't been picked up.

Just as Lin Ma was about to say that Madam had been caught in the rain and was taking a bath upstairs, she saw Gu Xijue's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot, and a strange anger was burning within her.

Lin's mother didn't say anything, while Gu Xijue went upstairs and slammed the door to the master bedroom shut!

Startled by the sound, Lin's mother almost dropped the ginger on her finger.

Now she realized that the two of them must have had a fight!

Sometimes Lin's mother really felt that her husband had some kind of problem with his brain; one moment he was very good to his wife, and the next he was extremely bad to her.

It's like that word her daughter-in-law often uses, something like "schizophrenia"?

And she really wondered why her husband couldn't like his wife.

My wife is just a little uneducated, but she is studying hard. However, my husband won't allow her to study. He complains that she is mute and can't speak because she is uneducated. What is my husband trying to do?

Gu Xijue didn't go to the second bedroom. After Song Jin'an finished showering and drying her hair, she picked up her phone, opened her social media app, and saw a husky cartoon avatar in her contact list. A hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

Without much thought, I blocked the person.

Lin Ma knocked on the door and asked Song Jin'an to come downstairs for ginger soup. Gu Xijue had already left. She sipped the soup slowly.

While eating lunch alone, the landline in the living room rang. Lin's mother answered and hung up a few minutes later.

"Madam, the old house needs you to go back tomorrow."

Song Jin'an frowned and gestured with her hands.

--What's wrong?
"They said the old man wanted to see his grandson."

Grandpa Gu had always hoped that Song Jin'an would give birth to a big, healthy boy. His expectations were very high. In the past few months, Song Jin'an had often returned to the hospital to let Grandpa Gu see her belly.

Every time she went back and showed the old man her condition, the caregiver said that he would feel better for two or three days.

If you have something to look forward to, you'll have something to hope for. For Old Master Gu, that hope was Song Jin'an's pregnancy.

She nodded, indicating that she understood.

"So... will the gentleman and his wife go back to the old house together this time?" Lin's mother asked tentatively.

Song Jin'an gestured with his hands.

—Never mind him, I can go back to the old house by myself.

For the past few months, she has been traveling back and forth alone. Although she is laughed at by the Gu family when she goes back alone, she can still bear it. It's not a big deal. She just pretends that her husband has died and she is a widow.
