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

Chapter 159 Sending you back
Wei Zhou: "Okay, Mr. Gu."

But in my heart I was thinking, "Another night of hard work is about to begin."

Mr. Gu, could you give me a raise?

……

Looking at Gu Hetang's sleeping face in the children's room, Song Jin'an pulled the blanket up a little higher.

She had many thoughts on her mind, but in the end, she put her hand on her throat, while everyone laughed at her for being mute...

But is this mute role something she willingly chose?
Song Jin'an really didn't understand why this was happening...

Because she can't speak, everyone wants to kick her while she's down, including Gu Xijue.

He has never accepted himself.

She stood there, her eyes fixed on Gu Hetang, but they were empty and unfocused; she was lost in thought.

Song Jin'an felt despair; her blank eyes were devoid of any color.

She also began to review everything that happened that night: the Greenland Hotel, the celebration banquet was held at the Greenland Hotel...

All night long, she and Gu Xijue were only one floor apart.

So, Jiang Ciyu did it on purpose from the beginning, didn't she?

Tonight, she was indeed pointed at and gossiped about by that group of so-called high society people again, as if there was something dirty about her.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ciyu did indeed use himself again to severely undermine Gu Xi's resolve.

Because what he cares about most is his reputation, and what he minds most is having a mute wife who cannot speak.

She frowned, pondering many things in her mind.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Madam Gu had not yet left; she was truly furious.

"When are you finally going to break things off with her completely?"

When she said "cut ties cleanly," she meant getting a divorce certificate, kicking him out of the Gu family, and making room for other women.

"I heard that Ms. Yu is still Gu Hetang's tutor."

Madam Gu took a sip of water, her voice deep and somber.

She felt that although Yu Yousheng's family background was slightly worse, his education, appearance and temperament were still acceptable. Although he was not as good as Su Ruoya and Du Lan before, he was still a million miles better than Song Jin'an.

After all, she has the title of "sea turtle" (a term referring to someone who has studied abroad and returned to China). Although she hasn't seen much of the world, with a little training, she would be more capable than Song Jin'an.

Thinking about it, her tone suddenly turned serious again: "Didn't you also investigate her background? What did you find out?"

Gu Xijue took a sip of water, smiled, and said, "I've found something that Mother is interested in."

Madam Gu glanced at her and raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."

"Yu Yousheng's educational background is real, but her family background was manipulated." He took another sip of water and spoke calmly.

"And then?" Madam Gu was indeed a little interested: "Did they manipulate the family background? Could it be that they weren't from a scholarly family as stated on the document, but from a poor family?"

She could only think of those from poor families, since these people love to embellish their resumes to secure a good job.

Gu Xijue tapped his fingers lightly on the water glass and continued, "Her mother has some connection with the Jiang family, and her father was a tenured professor at a foreign university before he retired."

Is Madam Gu relying entirely on the Jiang family?
His expression was completely undisguised, and he frowned, asking, "Who is her mother?"

His tone became even more sharp: "Could it be Jiang Ciyu's mother?"

But after she finished speaking, she shook her head. Impossible. If she was Jiang Ciyu's mother, then she was a descendant of the Jiang family. Could it be that... that dead woman had cheated on her husband and had a child with another man?
Gu Xijue's eyes were deep and his voice was low: "Mother, there is something I want to ask you."

"You said."

Madam Gu's mind is in complete turmoil right now, she keeps thinking about Yu Yousheng's relationship with the Jiang family.

"Have you ever met Song Jin'an's real mother before?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu didn't think much of it and said directly, "Song Jin'an is an illegitimate daughter who was brought back by Song Tanming. How would I know who her mother is? She might be a bar girl or a prostitute."

She didn't care who Song Jin'an's mother was, even though it did cause a wave of speculation in Haicheng back then.

But Madam Gu never paid any attention to Song Jin'an, because her rival in love was in the Jiang family!
Gu Xijue frowned, said "wait a moment," and went upstairs to the second bedroom where Song Jin'an lived. Following his memory, he found the place where she kept the photos.

He held it in his hand and rubbed it a couple of times before going downstairs and handing it to Mrs. Gu: "Mom, do you remember this lady in the photo?"

The woman in the photo has a happy smile on her face, with her eyes crinkling into crescents; she is indeed a rare beauty.

"Is she Song Jin'an's biological mother?"

Madam Gu frowned as she spoke.

"Yes." Gu Xijue nodded, then continued, "She should be Song Jin'an's biological mother, do you remember her?"

The woman was dressed in a trendy style, and her appearance was quite fashionable at the time. She also had the air of a well-bred lady, and her eyes and brows were quite charming. Therefore, Gu Xijue felt that his mother should know her.

Madam Gu stared at the woman in the photo, pondered carefully for a while, and finally murmured, "I seem to have a vague impression of her, but I can't remember where I've seen her before."

She had some recollection of the woman in the photo, but decades had passed and she could no longer remember her clearly.

It's also possible that Song Tanming briefly stayed by her side at the banquet, so she had a slight impression of him.

Mrs. Gu returned the photo to her and continued, "What does this have to do with that Teacher Yu and the Jiang family?"

They were a few people who seemed to have absolutely no connection.

She was about to continue speaking when Gu Xijue interrupted her: "Wei Zhou found out that Yu Yousheng's mother and Jiang Ciyu's biological mother may be related."

"Mom, don't you think Yu Yousheng looks about 40 or 50 percent like the woman in the photo?"

Gu Xijue also suspected that Yu Yousheng and Song Jin'an's mother were the same person, the woman in the photo.

Madam Gu was about to retort, but then she remembered Yu Yousheng's face, took the photo from Gu Xijue's hand, glanced at it, and finally said, "They do look somewhat alike. Have you asked Yu Yousheng?"

"I asked her, but she denied it, saying she has a generic face."

Madam Gu: “…”

It's a joke. Although she doesn't often praise women, she has to admit that there are such iconic, generic faces.

Madam Gu said, "Then continue your investigation."

If Yu Yousheng really had a blood relationship with that woman, she could not have become his new daughter-in-law.

And if it really is...

Does that mean Song Jin'an is also related to that woman by blood?
She fell into deep thought, and finally spoke: "Investigate it again thoroughly!"

After saying that, he stood up, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost one o'clock.

"It's time for me to go back."

Gu Xijue also stood up: "I'll have the driver take you home."

"No need, I brought my driver with me, he'll wait for me outside."
