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

Chapter 134 School Anniversary
After saying that, Song Jin'an went straight inside, leaving Jiang Ciyu standing alone outside the door.

He sighed several times, realizing he hadn't expected the little mute to be so angry; he figured it would take a while to coax her.

……

On the other side, Gu Xijue had not yet received the message from Song Jin'an.

Since he wouldn't be shown it, he decided to check the home video feed. So he opened the monitoring app, zoomed in on the progress bar where a figure appeared, and immediately put down the fork in his hand, his eyes fixed on every move on the screen.

Because his wife at home actually met with Jiang Ciyu again!

Their hands were still clasped together, and Gu Xijue felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, ready to explode at any moment!
He stared coldly at the two people above, but because he was too far away, he couldn't hear what they were saying.

He quickly made a call back, specifically to Song Jin'an. As soon as she answered, he blurted out some harsh words: "Song Jin'an, I've only been gone for a day, and you're already going to cheat on me, are you?!"

The tone was highly charged.

But Song Jin'an couldn't speak; she could only listen.

"It's just that I didn't take you with me on this trip abroad, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

"I think you know very well why I didn't take you with me!"

He launched into a tirade, blaming everything on the other side, omitting any problems of his own.

Song Jin'an's head was throbbing from listening, so she hung up the phone immediately.

A few minutes later, he turned on the video again and confronted me face to face!

Her palms were slightly sweaty as she held the phone, but she seemed quite happy!

Song Jin'an looked at the incoming video call but didn't answer. She wasn't someone to vent her anger on, so she simply hung up and switched off airplane mode, deciding to go all the way down this path.

Gu Xijue was furious on the other side of the ocean, his anger rising so high that he felt he would definitely snap her neck if she were in front of him!

He kept hitting and hitting until he finally got to Lin Ma's place.

Unable to contain his anger: "Give her the video!"

A few minutes later, Song Jin'an received a video call from Lin's mother's phone. On the other end of the video, Gu Xijue was roaring: "I just left, and you've already got the nerve to meet your old flame in secret, huh!"

"Why did Jiang Ciyu follow me all the way to my doorstep? Song Jin'an, give me a reason! Did you seduce him?!"

Whenever Gu Xijue gets angry, the things he says become extremely offensive. His mind is filled with rage, and at this moment, he really wants to snap this woman's neck!
Song Jin'an frowned, knowing that he couldn't communicate with her now, and that she didn't want to either, so she hung up the video call and gestured to Lin's mother.

—Don't give me his videos again.

If she could see him all the time in China, but that man was on the other side of the ocean, could he really just fly back and cause her trouble?
She doesn't want to talk right now, since she's not in a good mood.

Then they went back to playing with toys with the children.

Gu Xijue was furious that she actually wouldn't answer his video call!
He's cursing, and the anger in his heart could burn the swimming pool dry!

Just as he was smashing his phone, the doorbell rang. He cursed and went to open the door, his anger palpable.

He saw the well-dressed Du Lan, but Gu Xijue's mind was not on her.

Duran greeted him with a smile, "Senior brother."

Her gaze fell on the unfinished Western food behind him: "The food at this hotel isn't very good. How about we go to the hotel I booked tonight?"

"My senior brother, who went to great lengths to book this, would you do me the honor of having a meal with me?"

Duran spoke up, and seeing the deathly look on Gu Xijue's face, he was also a little scared.

Did they eat gunpowder? That's really scary.

A moment later, he nodded in agreement, but his face was still very sour: "Okay, wait a few minutes."

Gu Xijue frowned slightly, then took the clothes and went into the dressing room. Du Lan was surprised that he was so easy to talk to, and that they could finish their meal together after just a few words. She was overjoyed.

But her face showed a generally happy expression. Smiling broadly, she said, "I'll stand here and wait for my senior brother."

Indeed, opportunities must be earned. Young talents like Gu Xijue are so talented that you have to flatter them. They are born into privilege and never encounter any setbacks.

In the restaurant.

I sat at the best table with a view of the river. The lighting and angle of this spot were excellent, making it perfect for taking photos.

Duran wasn't ugly to begin with, and Gu Xijue was also very handsome. The two of them attracted attention as soon as they entered, but it didn't cause a commotion.

"Senior brother, would you like to order?"

Gu Xijue was furious and had no desire to order. He said with a stern face, "You order."

Then the waiter next to him smiled and said, "Indeed, ladies first. The gentleman is very gentlemanly."

These words were spoken in English, and Durant was overjoyed, giving an exceptionally generous tip, equivalent to at least a week's worth of work.

The waitress was overjoyed. While waiting for the food, she had a plan in mind. Smiling, she said, "Senior, the lighting is great at night. Could you take a good photo for me?"

After saying that, she handed over her phone.

Gu Xijue glanced at her, took the phone, and quickly took a picture for her.

Before Duran could even strike a pose, the photo was already taken. She playfully complained, "Senior brother~"

"I hadn't even gotten into position yet when you took the picture. It's true what they say, all straight men in the world can't take pictures."

She smiled sweetly, and Gu Xijue took another picture, albeit perfunctorily, but at least it was usable, so he didn't say anything more.

The food was served quickly, and Duran smiled, holding his knife and fork: "Let's dig in!"

The meal was relatively quiet. Duran asked questions in a low voice the whole time, and Gu Xijue would say a word or two if he was interested, and remain silent if he wasn't.

Duran found this guy really difficult to talk to.

After they finished eating, the two took a walk together along the riverbank, but she felt that the man beside her was not paying attention the whole time.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing much." Gu Xijue spoke very little throughout the night, and his words were stiff.

Du Lan didn't want to play it safe anymore. She stood in front of Gu Xijue, her eyes full of expectation: "Senior brother, I want you to know that I have never given up on you for a moment."

Hearing this, Gu Xijue frowned: "I think I made myself very clear back in China."

Du Lan's eyes welled up with tears, her fingers clenched tightly. She didn't say a word, following Gu Xijue all the way back to the hotel lobby. He turned around and only said three words.

"Let's go back."

Durant's eyes instantly welled up with tears; he was incredibly unwilling to accept defeat.

The next morning, Gu Xijue was all dressed up. Du Lan picked him up to go to his alma mater for the school's anniversary celebration. Du Lan didn't say a word today.

He just drove in silence, his eyes still a little red and swollen, probably from crying last night...
