Chapter 131 is truly embarrassing.
Song Jin'an opened and looked at her payslip.

More than 100,000! That's incredible!

She was so happy she danced with joy. When she got home, the first thing she did was tell Gu Xijue the good news and show him her phone!

After reading the chat history, Gu Xijue raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and for the first time uttered a positive word.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

There was a light in Song Jin'an's eyes. This sum of over 100,000 yuan was nothing to Gu Xijue, but to her, it meant much more than that.

She was so excited that she almost jumped up, and she bumped into Gu Xijue's arms, laughing so hard she was shaking.

She had already decided how to use the money. She would send half to her grandmother for this year's living expenses. Song Jin'an had always been a kind and filial child.

Her grandmother also raised her.

Gu Xijue returned to his study to continue working, while Song Jin'an was so happy she was practically flying, and it took her an hour to come to her senses.

That evening, Song Jin'an was scrolling through social media. Because she was mute, she followed the Disabled Persons' Federation. She was about to give a like to the latest update from the Federation when she unexpectedly saw her own name in the post, right at the top of the list.

Song Jin'an immediately sat up, wondering if she was seeing things, so she refreshed the page several more times, but it still showed her name.

Although there might be duplicate names, there was a title on it, so they gave her the title of Mrs. Gu. When I clicked into the video, her figure did not appear. Instead, the few sentences she had said to Jiang Ciyu earlier appeared, and they were placed at the top in white text against a black background.

Song Jin'an felt a chill run down her spine. She had clearly said she wouldn't participate, so how could she end up in a short video for this charity program!

The comments section is now filled with discussions about her. Originally, the discussion wasn't very high, but in just two hours, it spread throughout the upper-class circles of Haicheng. At this very moment, Gu Xijue, who was in his study, also saw the video.

A few minutes later, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression darkened further.

But he still answered the phone: "Father."

No sooner had these words been spoken than a barrage of accusations erupted from the other end of the phone: "What exactly happened with the Disabled Persons' Federation video? What did Song Jin'an do behind your back this time?!"

Gu Xijue said calmly, "There must be some problem."

But Gu Donglin was furious: "What does this woman mean by this! She went to participate in a charity program in Jiangjia Lane and even spoke on it. Isn't this a slap in the face to our Gu family?"

"Haven't we, the Gu family, suffered enough humiliation these past few years?"

Gu Donglin has always been very concerned about his reputation, but this time Song Jin'an has completely lost face!

Gu Xijue pinched the bridge of his nose and patiently replied, "Father, I will handle this matter."

He hung up the phone immediately after speaking, but his gaze darkened afterward, and he took a few deep breaths.

At this moment, Song Jin'an also found him, pushed open the door of the study, and wanted to explain to him, gesturing with her hands.

—There's something I want to talk to you about.

Gu Xijue's gaze was icy and filled with hostility as he looked at her with disgust: "Song Jin'an, you tricked me, is that interesting?"

Song Jin'an immediately understood, frowned, and gestured with her hand again.

—I had no idea about this. I had already rejected him before, and I never expected my name to appear on it!
Her fingers twitched slightly, her throat tightened, and she spoke the truth, but the man in front of her seemed not to believe her.

A cold voice came from behind: "You always have so many reasons."

Then I heard her say again: "Do you think I would believe what you're saying? The facts are right in front of you, what else do you want to say?"

Song Jin'an's heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip and typed on her phone, "So, you don't believe me, right?" "Yes." As soon as Gu Xijue said this, she lowered her head and walked out.

That night, the two slept separately again.

Song Jin'an immediately contacted Jiang Ciyu to ask him what he meant.

It took Jiang Ciyu quite a while to reply to the message.

Regarding the charity program, I really should apologize to you for not informing you beforehand. I'm sorry.

However, I still believe this isn't a bad thing for you, especially since you didn't even appear on camera; you simply shared what you told me before. I think this will be a huge encouragement to people with disabilities.

Jiang Ciyu's two sentences made Song Jin'an sneer.

She bit her lip and typed on her phone: "Is this the sincerity of your apology?"

[Jiang Ciyu, do you realize you've violated my rights? I can file a lawsuit against you in court!]

Song Jin'an never wanted to get involved in these business battles, but she was forced to.

"If this makes you feel better, then okay." He sent another message, apologizing once again.

I'm sorry, I owe you this time, and I will make it up to you.

Enraged, Song Jin'an contacted a lawyer directly and found a top-rated lawyer online!
She was so angry she was about to go crazy!
……

The next day, Song Jin'an and Gu Xijue remained silent. She wanted to explain, but seeing the man's disgusted look, she stopped talking.

Soon she would be leaving the country, and Lin's mother was helping her pack what she needed for the trip. However, Song Jin'an was feeling uneasy. After all, such a big thing had happened, and he probably didn't want to take her to the school anniversary celebration.

Song Jin'an already had the answer in her heart, feeling that she most likely wouldn't be able to go.

There was indeed a sense of loss in their hearts. For a whole week, the two of them didn't communicate much. But the video from the Disabled Persons' Federation was taken down and re-edited three days later, removing Song Jin'an's name and even the few words in the video.

The villa was filled with the chill of winter until the night before the plane took off.

Lin Ma helped pack the luggage, and just as she was about to sort out Song Jin'an's things, Gu Xijue stopped her: "No need to pack anymore, Madam and Miss can stay at home."

He said it with a dark expression.

Song Jin'an's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

He decided not to take her. Lin's mother was at a loss and didn't dare to look at Song Jin'an. But she smiled and gestured to Lin's mother.

—It's okay, Aunt Lin, please help me carry my luggage into the bedroom.

Lin Ma prepared all the luggage, and Song Jin'an didn't touch it because she knew from that night that she wouldn't be able to go.

Because of that public service video, the Gu family and Haicheng lost face once again, becoming the subject of gossip. This had a negative impact on the Gu family business, a point she acknowledged.

So there's no need to pack anymore.

Song Jin'an carried Gu Hetang back to the room.

Wei Zhou arrived early the next morning. She smiled faintly at him, then turned and went to audit Yu Yousheng's class. That way, she could have something to do and wouldn't be too embarrassed...
