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

Chapter 127 Safety First
Gu Xijue had considered this question, but he deliberately avoided it. Even now, he felt that having Song Jin'an around wasn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as she didn't make a mistake, it wouldn't matter if he kept her around.

Over the years, he has lost his edge and seems to have gotten used to having a mute person sleeping next to him.

“She didn’t make any major mistakes, so there’s no need to replace her.” That’s what Gu Xijue thought, but Madam Gu thought differently. What she cared about was the future of the entire family. Song Jin’an, a woman with no background, shouldn’t be in the position of the young mistress of the Gu family.

From childhood to adulthood, Madam Gu has always admired strength; otherwise, she would not have chosen Gu Donglin. In her eyes, the strong should be matched with the strong, and it doesn't matter if the other party has a white moonlight.

Marriages between wealthy families often lack love; the most important thing is the union of strengths.

“You’re destined to live longer than others because of this.” Madam Gu never imagined her son would turn out this way.

He originally had women like Su Ruoya and Du Lan by his side who were absolutely helpful to him. He thought he could develop feelings for them, but he was wrong.

“But at least I’m taking things one step at a time, which makes me feel grounded, Mother.” Gu Xijue’s gaze was indifferent; he had become immune to such words.

Madam Gu sighed again, knowing that it was pointless to reason with him: "I won't say it again, but I will continue to keep an eye on him."

She still didn't give up keeping an eye on Song Jin'an, always feeling that one day she could catch him red-handed.

After Gu Xijue got into the car, Song Jin'an sat in the passenger seat. Before the car even started, she showed him a message on her phone.

"I think your mother is right. We should get a divorce. Divorce is the only way for us to end things. But I only have one request: Tangtang will stay with me, but if you want to see her in the future, I will take her to the villa on time. Is that okay? If you're worried about changing your mind, we can put the specific terms in the divorce agreement. That's all I ask."

Gu Xijue glanced at the phone screen a few times, his expression darkening further, becoming icy cold.

His eyes were even more sinister, staring coldly at her as he said, "I've made myself very clear, don't even think about divorce."

“Since you find marriage unbearable, then continue to suffer. Seeing you suffer makes me feel good.” Song Jin’an frowned and clenched her fists tightly when she heard what he said. Every time this topic came up, they would start arguing.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Gu Xijue increased the car's speed and drove very fast, seemingly venting his anger. Song Jin'an felt that the speed was terrifying, and the man even overtook her on a curve. She was so scared that her palms were sweating.

"Drive slowly," the voice message played.

But the next second, the car accelerated again, startling Song Jin'an, who quickly shut her mouth.

Because her voice is very unpleasant; because she can't make a sound, even a mute scream sounds terrible.

She glanced at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye and saw that his lips were pressed into a straight line as he tried his best to control his temper. At this moment, Song Jin'an dared not provoke him, because she was driving and safety was the priority.

She didn't want to die, because she still had her daughter in the world.

My daughter is my whole world.

Soon, the car drove into the villa's garage. Still shaken, she immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. But the moment she pushed open the door, her arm was grabbed, and their eyes met.

Song Jin'an was in a lot of pain from being pinched and struggled to break free, while Gu Xijue was seething with anger, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Fine, let's get a divorce, but Gu Hetang has to stay! After the divorce, you can forget about ever seeing her again!"
