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

Chapter 1 She is mute
In the evening, a torrential downpour began.

Song Jin'an glanced at the men's white shirt swaying in the wind on the windowsill, then put down the tablet in her hand to collect the clothes.

suddenly.

The door creaked open, and she turned around. Almost instantly, a pair of strong hands grabbed her slender waist, followed by a mouthful of pungent alcohol fumes.

Song Jin'an did not struggle, but made a sound of pain from being roughly kneaded in her throat. However, she was quickly covered by the man's other hand and pressed against the bed.

She didn't struggle, but instead blankly closed her eyes.

When she woke up again, she was choked by the smoke. She opened her eyes blankly, looked up and glanced at the curtains that had been pulled open slightly. The sky outside was gray, and the man was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to her, smoking. Clothes were scattered all over the floor.

Song Jin'an threw off the covers and got out of bed, bending down to pick up one item after another, then put them all into the laundry tub. Next, in the silent room, she went into the bathroom, where the warm water washed her inside and out, before putting on a bathrobe and leaving the room.

However, she didn't expect that the man would still be there when she came out of the shower. He had already put out his cigarette and was holding his tablet, frowning as he looked at the online course he hadn't had time to close the night before.

The man looked away, staring coldly at her: "You signed up for an online course?"

Song Jin'an did not deny it. Since she had been seen, so be it. At most, she would be ridiculed. She was used to it in this family.

The man then closed the tablet and tossed it onto the messy bed, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Can you even understand these lessons? Or do you have to open the engine and check the pinyin for every single word you say?"

This casual contempt surfaced, and Song Jin'an pursed her lips, lowering her hand that was about to be raised to gesture.

She knew that the person in front of her would only give her a mocking, cold, and disdainful look; nothing else was possible.

She also knew that he didn't love her at all, because she was Gu Xijue's wife in name only.

Not wanting to argue, she habitually turned to leave, but the man stopped her.

"Go ask Aunt Lin for birth control pills."

After uttering these chilling words, Gu Xijue went to the dressing room.

He didn't want children and never used protection. In Song Jin'an's eyes, this was a deliberate act of revenge against her for using any means necessary to become the young mistress of the Gu family.

As Gu Xijue changed his clothes and was still tying his tie, he suddenly stopped and said as they passed each other, "Tonight is the old man's 80th birthday banquet. You'll be coming back to the old house with me. Once we get back, behave yourself. After we celebrate the birthday together, stay in the backyard and don't come to the front hall and embarrass yourself."

The old man of the Gu family has been seriously ill, and he only got a little better a month ago. The celebration of his 80th birthday is meant to bring good luck, and we hope that he can pull through this difficult time.

She nodded and left, but accidentally kicked the sharp corner of the door frame, crying out in pain. The sound was as unpleasant as the screeching of an old washing tub spinning at high speed.

Gu Xijue frowned, his face full of disgust, and left the master bedroom without even touching her with the hem of his clothes.

Song Jin'an endured the pain and refrained from making any more harsh sounds from her throat, sounds that even she found repulsive.

Yes, why is she mute and unable to speak?
