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

Chapter 141 My Heart Is Itching
Song Jin'an looked at him with some suspicion.

Gu Xijue, however, had already opened the bottle, poured her some red wine, and placed it in front of her.

"This meal and this bottle of wine tonight are a celebration for you."

Looking at the glass of wine in front of her, Song Jin'an finally felt a little better. She temporarily put aside her dissatisfaction with him, picked up the glass and took a sip. The taste was not bad; it was the flavor she liked.

Gu Xijue raised his glass again, and Song Jin'an raised hers as well. The two of them tacitly clinked their glasses and then drank.

The two of them seemed to have fewer complaints tonight, and were simply spending time together quietly, creating a unique atmosphere.

The two of them drank a bottle of red wine, and Song Jin'an looked at him, feeling a little dizzy.

Just as they were finishing their meal, Gu Xijue's phone rang. He frowned as he answered, said a few words, and the last one was, "Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, she glanced at Song Jin'an, whose face was already a little red, and said, "You take Gu Hetang to sleep first tonight. I have to go out for a bit."

Song Jin'an was stunned. She looked at him, intending to say something, but said nothing. She just nodded and did not try to stop him.

Seeing that she was alright, he called Wei Zhou again. Twenty minutes later, Song Jin'an was upstairs bathing the child, Lin Ma was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Gu Xijue got into his car and left.

When Song Jin'an sat with her child on the crib listening to a story, she felt a pang of unease for some reason.

She's quick to adjust her mood, for example, right now she's put Gu Xijue aside and is wholeheartedly putting the child to sleep.

……

At this moment, inside the old house.

Madam Gu was furious with Gu Donglin, so angry that she almost threw a pillow at him.

"You almost ruined our son's life, do you even know that?!"

"Du Minghua's company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Now he's swindled billions of dollars from Gu's project funds. It's all your fault!"

Madam Gu kept blaming her husband, she was furious and in a bad mood, muttering to herself, "Luckily, luckily we didn't have a marriage alliance with the Du family. If Xi Jue had really married Du Lan, that would have been a real disaster!"

At that time, the Gu family was really unable to extricate themselves; even if they could, they would suffer greatly!

Gu Donglin frowned and raised his voice: "Are you blaming me?"

"Wasn't it you who spearheaded the cooperation with the Du family? Now you're blaming me!"

Gu Donglin was really fed up. He was always the one who got away with good things, but bad things kept happening to him. Was he really such a despicable person?

He simply couldn't believe that he had never done a single good deed.
Moreover, he knew that his son was capable of making his own judgments, so he didn't take the matter too seriously.

"You've been the one devising the plan for the marriage alliance between the Gu and Du families, haven't you? What does this have to do with me?"

"It was you who kept pressuring your son to change wives. You single-handedly brought things to this point. You're like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

Neither of them wanted to take the blame, so they both spoke aggressively.

Madam Gu angrily threw a cushion at Gu Donglin, shouting hoarsely, "Gu Donglin, what am I doing all this for? Isn't it all for the development of the Gu family?"

"What, your son blames me, and you blame me too?"

Speaking of which, she remembered what happened back then, and was furious. She pointed at Gu Donglin's nose and yelled, "Do you regret marrying me now? Otherwise, you would have married your long-dead white moonlight long ago, right?" When middle-aged couples hurt each other, they seize every opportunity and ruthlessly stab at any sore spot!
Gu Donglin's eyes were cold as he stared straight at the woman in front of him, his voice deep and resonant: "Shut up, you are not worthy to mention her!"

As expected, Madam Gu's expression changed whenever this woman was mentioned. She sneered and crossed her arms, saying, "What, do you still want to pin Jiang Ciyu's mother's death on me?"

"You know perfectly well who her death is related to!"

Back then, Gu Donglin shouldn't have married her, but the reason he ultimately chose to marry her was because he couldn't give up power!
So he gave up his love and gained power. But a man's heart is never satisfied. With power in his heart, Gu Donglin immediately set his sights on his beloved.

At that time, the two of them were secretly having a secret rendezvous behind Madam Gu's back, but Madam Gu discovered it very quickly.

"When I caught you with him, I gave you a chance: either you leave with nothing, or you leave that woman. Gu Donglin, you chose power again. Have you forgotten?"

If Gu Donglin hadn't chosen power, Gu Xijue would never have been born.

Gu Donglin's face turned ashen; he was furious. Without saying a word, he slammed the door and stormed out!

Madam Gu watched his departing figure and sneered several times. Then she heard a car starting in the courtyard. She walked to the French window and watched the car drive away. She sneered, clenched her fists tightly, and rubbed her fingers. He went to see his mistress again.

Mrs. Gu smiled, picked up the phone beside her, and dialed a number.

Half an hour later, a young man about the same age as Gu Xijue appeared in the house.

……

At the Night Banquet Bar, Duan Nanhe was already having a blast.

When Gu Xijue arrived, he saw Duan Nanhe drinking. This time, there were no other men and women around him; instead, he was all alone, looking rather forlorn.

There was some noise, but it quickly disappeared completely.

Gu Xijue walked towards Duan Nanhe, raising an eyebrow: "Didn't you say you were going to be forced to drink yourself to death? How come you're the only one here?"

He was tricked into coming here by Duan Nanhe.

Duan Nan put his arm around his shoulder and said with a grin, "Young Master Gu, I want to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xijue joked, "What do you need to ask me for?"

This surprised Gu Xijue, who even used the word "beg".

"I've fallen for a girl, but she's ignoring me and has even blocked my contact information." Duan Nanhe felt a little itchy; over the years, there had never been anyone he couldn't get.

Gu Xijue thought about it and wondered what this matter had to do with him, but his clever mind quickly connected many possibilities and finally narrowed it down to one.

"Which secretary in my secretariat have you taken a fancy to?"

Duan Nanhe: "..."

He shoved the wine glass into Gu Xijue's hand and made him drink. Gu Xijue took a few sips and looked at him leisurely: "Tell me who it is, and I'll have him deliver the documents to you tomorrow."

"No, no." Duan Nanhe shook his head, then continued, "It's your daughter's tutor, Teacher Yu, Yu Yousheng."

Gu Xijue took another sip of wine, feeling that something was amiss, and looked at him: "How did you get involved with my daughter's tutor?"
