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

Chapter 128 Home-School Collaboration
Song Jin'an had previously mentioned that she wouldn't take the children with her in a divorce, but she was just saying that in anger; the children were her whole world.

Her throat tightened, and her fingers curled up together.

Every time, the man in front of her would deliberately stab her heart with a sharp blade, clearly knowing that as long as he didn't agree, she would never be able to take the child away.

She had no desire to argue about this anymore, so she simply shook off his hand, didn't say another word, and turned to leave, heading into the villa.

When Lin Ma saw that she had returned, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, I have already coaxed Miss to sleep."

--Thanks.

Song Jin'an made a thank you gesture, turned around and went upstairs. She was completely exhausted.

She was a little hungry, so after changing into some loungewear upstairs, she went downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat. It was already quite late. Actually, Song Jin'an was quite health-conscious, so she usually didn't eat too late.

Just as Lin Ma was about to return to the nanny's room, she noticed the kitchen light was on. She went to check and found Song Jin'an rummaging through things: "Madam, are you hungry?"

Today, the family of three did not eat at home. Gu Xijue had a strict rule that they had to eat fresh ingredients, so many ingredients were bought and eaten on the same day. Therefore, there was not much left in the refrigerator except for eggs and water.

Song Jin'an nodded, without complaining that there was nothing inside, and took out an egg to fry one.

At this moment, Gu Xijue came in from outside. The two did not exchange any words. Song Jin'an started frying eggs while the man went upstairs.

Seeing this, Lin Ma immediately knew that they had quarreled again, but she didn't say anything. She asked if Song Jin'an needed any help, but Song Jin'an shook her head. So she left.

But she bumped into Gu Xijue in the stairwell, said a few words to Lin Ma, and then went upstairs.

Lin's mother: "..."

It's a real shame; this salary is so hard to earn.

Lin Ma went into the kitchen again and said softly, "Madam, the master asked you to make him a portion too, he's hungry."

Song Jin'an continued doing her own thing, neither nodding nor shaking her head. She didn't react, and Lin Ma didn't know what to say for a moment.

The person who was frying the eggs poured more oil into the pan, grabbed the salt shaker and sprinkled three spoonfuls of salt on the eggs, then flipped them over and out of the pan before placing them on a plate and handing them to Lin Ma.

—Aunt Lin, could you take this up to him for me?

Lin Ma didn't see her stunt just as she carried the plate upstairs. However, before leaving, she still offered a few words of advice: "Madam, what you and your husband are doing will affect Miss. Sometimes you should have a proper talk."

Lin's mother is now advising Song Jin'an to be patient. After all, in their generation's eyes, she already has a child, so no matter how much she makes a fuss, she can't really threaten to divorce, right? Song Jin'an didn't say anything, and started washing the pan and heating the oil to continue frying eggs. She ate some in the kitchen, and it tasted good.

After finishing her meal, she cleaned up the mess, then went to her room to shower and go to sleep—all in one smooth motion. She didn't argue with Gu Xijue today; perhaps she was just tired…

She recently learned a new word: "to give up".

So she wanted to just let things fall apart like this, to temporarily escape the troubles and conflicts of real life.

After taking a shower, she wanted to lie down on the bed, but she was still worried about her daughter in the children's room, so she decided to go check on her. Unexpectedly, Gu Xijue also came out, holding a glass of water.

Neither of them showed any expression, but Gu Xijue was in a very bad mood.

He took a bite of the egg; it was salty and bitter.

He knew that some stupid woman had deliberately messed with him.

No wonder her mother got so angry that she had to be taken to the hospital with high blood pressure; she really has the ability to drive people crazy.

Song Jin'an brushed past him without saying a word, and quietly opened the door to the children's room. Inside, a small bedside nightlight was on, and Gu Hetang was sleeping soundly. She stood and watched for a while before closing the door slightly and returning to the second bedroom to sleep.

Tonight, Gu Xijue didn't come to bother her again, and Song Jin'an fell asleep soon after.

The next morning, after washing up, she went to the master bedroom to get her clothes. She moved all her clothes to the master bedroom. When she arrived, Gu Xijue had just gotten up and was taking a morning shower after coming out of the bathroom. The two looked at each other but remained silent.

During the meal, only Gu Hetang made babbling sounds, while the two adults remained silent.

Neither of them paid any attention to each other. Gu Xijue went to work, and then Song Jin'an fed Gu Hetang and took him to the bathroom to wash his hands. When they came out, Yu Yousheng had already arrived.

Yu Yousheng has always been very approachable and patient with Gu Hetang.

Song Jin'an then smiled, said a few words on her phone, and handed the child over to her before going upstairs to draw comics.

Just as Song Jin'an took a step forward, Yu Yousheng stopped her, saying, "Mrs. Gu, Miss has made great progress recently. Thank you for helping me with my homework review. I am very grateful."

Song Jin'an typed a line on her phone.

—Home-school collaboration is my duty.
