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

Chapter 151 Hindsight
Then, she smiled slightly and continued gesturing.

—Or, you could take Teacher Yu with you; I think she would be happy to go.

She gently bit her lip, and after saying it, she belatedly realized that she shouldn't have said such a thing.

It sounds like she's jealous.

Gu Xijue sneered, said "Fine, don't go if you don't want to," and went straight upstairs.

That night, the two slept in their own rooms. Song Jin'an was enjoying her leisure time when a call came in from an unknown number. She didn't answer, assuming it was a scam call.

But this unfamiliar number kept calling four or five times, relentlessly.

Finally, she answered the phone, and Jiang Ciyu's teasing voice came through the receiver: "I thought I couldn't get through."

Since it was a phone call and Song Jin'an couldn't speak, and Jiang Ciyu was afraid of being immediately hung up, she quickly spoke up and explained her purpose.

After I finished speaking, the voice on the other end of the phone spoke again: "Are you listening?"

"I do need a sign language teacher here, and I'd like to borrow you for a bit. Don't worry, I'll pay you the market rate per hour."

After thinking for a moment, Song Jin'an finally hung up the phone. Since she couldn't speak, she removed Jiang Ciyu from the social media blacklist after hanging up.

I sent the message proactively.

There are many people in Haicheng who know sign language; I'm not the only one.

That's her way of refusing; she doesn't want to agree.

Soon after, Jiang Ciyu also sent a message.

[It's true that you're not the only one who knows sign language, but this situation is special. These deaf and mute children haven't been able to speak or read since they were little, and some of them are shy.]

[Furthermore, I've already hired several sign language teachers, but they haven't been able to gel well with the children.]

Song Jin'an understood what was going on when she saw the message.

Communicating with children who cannot speak, read, or even hear requires immense patience and love.

Otherwise, no matter how high the hourly wage is, it's not easy to earn money; it's tough for both sign language teachers and children.

【I'm really asking for your help this time. This program is very important; it's going to be a local TV program. The program also has a dedicated rehearsal coach; you just need to communicate via your phone on set.】

Song Jin'an understood his meaning; he wanted her to act as a bridge for communication.

[Song Jin'an, the children really need you, give it a try.]

In fact, she could really empathize with her because she had gone through the same thing herself when she was young.

Finally, Song Jin'an relented.

I'll go.

Immediately, Jiang Ciyu sent over the address, followed by a message.

The final two rehearsals will be held tomorrow and the day after, both in the morning at the Haicheng Grand Theatre.

Song Jin'an replied: 【I understand.】

The next morning, after breakfast, Yu Yousheng came to class, and Song Jin'an drove directly to the Grand Theater.

At the entrance, Jiang Ciyu was already waiting for her. Upon seeing her arrive, he quickly expressed his gratitude. After entering, there was a group of six- or seven-year-old children in the center of the stage, with a dance teacher sitting to the side, looking dejected.

Song Jin'an took out her phone and started communicating with the dance teacher, and then she communicated with the children.

At first, things didn't go very smoothly, but she used both gentle and firm approaches and quickly won over the children. Jiang Ciyu stood below the stage watching Song Jin'an's face beam with joy and her fingers flying across the page, and a different feeling stirred within her.

Her arrival made the dance teacher smile more often.

With the two working together, the children's dance became quite impressive.

During halftime, Song Jin'an specially ordered hot milk tea for all the children.

The dance teacher put her hand on Song Jin'an's shoulder: "If you hadn't come, I think this show would have been canceled."

She found it incredibly difficult to deal with these deaf and mute children; some of them were constantly causing trouble. But after Song Jin'an arrived, they all became well-behaved. "How did you manage to handle the troublemakers?" the dance teacher asked, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Song Jin'an.

Song Jin'an only typed four words on his phone for her to see.

Give both grace and power.

The dance teacher gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing! You're really great!"

After a half-hour rest, another rehearsal was organized before the bus took the children back to the school for the deaf and mute.

That's all for today. We'll have one last rehearsal tomorrow, and the official recording will be the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Ciyu walked to her side and said, "I'll take you home."

Song Jin'an waved the key in her hand, smiled slightly, and gestured with her hand.

—I've already gotten my driver's license.

The man raised an eyebrow: "You got it so quickly, congratulations."

Song Jin'an drove back to the villa by herself. When she got back, Gu Xijue was still at the company, of course.

Wei Zhou went inside, looking somewhat uncertain, and said in a deep voice, "President Gu, the piece of land we were fighting with the Jiang family for has been brought into our hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xijue's gloomy expression darkened even further.

"What did the Jiang family originally intend to build on this land?"

Wei Zhou was clearly surprised by the question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems to be about building an amusement park."

That location is excellent; if it were an amusement park, the profits would indeed be very good.

The Jiang family is furious; the fat sheep that was about to be eaten has somehow managed to run away!
It even ended up in the hands of a competitor.

"Like them, build an amusement park."

It seems that only amusement parks can recoup their investment the fastest and most steadily in the city center.

Then Gu Xijue spoke up again: "Did you find out what I asked you to investigate?"

His tone was very casual, and Wei Zhou carefully said, "I found some information, but not all of it."

He spoke somewhat arrogantly, but his next sentence was like a thunderclap from a clear sky: "It also has something to do with my wife."

Gu Xijue paused, holding the pen, and said nothing more.

……

That evening, Gu Xijue didn't go home for dinner, nor did he call her to say he would bring her food to the company.

She was happy to be free. When she went to bed at night, the man was still not there. After soothing the child, he also lay down in bed.

Gu Xijue returned early the next morning. His things were originally in the master bedroom, but he deliberately came to the second bedroom to take a shower.

Song Jin'an was awakened by the sound of running water. When she opened her eyes, the man was putting on clean clothes and placing them in a basket in the bathroom.

She looked at him and gestured with her hands.

—Did you just get back?
I didn't expect him to answer, but to my surprise, he did.

"Yes, I have another meeting to attend in a bit. I'll come back and change into some clean clothes."

His meaning was clear: he was going back to the company, just coming back to take a shower.

"I'll just go see my daughter for a moment and then leave." With that, he closed the door and left.

Song Jin'an slept for another half hour before getting up. After washing up, she bent down to pick up the clothes in the basket and put them into the washing machine. But the moment she picked them up, she smelled women's perfume.

The taste is familiar, faint, but it's not my own.

Without thinking further, she stuffed it into the washing machine, poured in the detergent, and silently pressed the wash button.
