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

Chapter 168 Tongyanwuji
"You have someone else calling?" Xiao Yi asked.

"What I have in abundance is people."

Duan Nanhe replied with this sentence, but his voice was a little deeper: "It's just that the people I know might find it noisy."

Most of the people he knew were "bad buddies" he met at drinking parties, the kind who ate and drank together.

We used to have parties together at this manor often, and it was always a lot of fun.

"Since you think it's boring with fewer people, you can invite a few more over to play together."

Gu Xijue, who had been silent until now, spoke up, thought for a moment, and continued, "Find a few people who can take care of children."

Duan Nanhe: "So you're asking me to find some children to play with your daughter?"

Gu Xijue remained noncommittal, which was exactly what he meant.

Duan Nanhe glanced at Song Jin'an and then at Gu Xijue, his eyes seemingly saying, "Your wife is here too, is that really okay?"
……

Within half an hour, people came in one after another, including singles, couples, and married people with children.

However, everyone was somewhat surprised upon arrival; this...

Gu Xijue actually brought his mute wife and daughter with him.

The couple with the little boy exchanged glances. No wonder the young master of the Duan family had asked them to bring the child over.

Everyone stepped forward to greet Gu Xijue, and after the greeting, their eyes lingered on Song Jin'an, as if trying to stare a hole through her.

Some people, standing further away, whispered, "Why did President Gu bring the mute girl along? Didn't he always dislike bringing her to public events?"

"Yeah, I don't know. Keep your voice down, or someone might hear you."

"Is that the child she's holding in her arms her daughter with President Gu? I never expected that a mute woman could give birth to such a beautiful child."

He kept talking in a low voice, and Song Jin'an actually heard him, but pretended not to care.

In fact, mute people have very good hearing because they can't speak, so their other organs are very sensitive, such as their ears.

Gu Xijue glanced at her and walked over to her side: "You can let Tangtang play with the other children for a while."

These children came because of one of the children, Gu Hetang.

After saying that, he continued to stare at Song Jin'an: "You can also socialize. Haven't you always complained that I don't give you opportunities to socialize?"

Now he's giving him the opportunity to socialize while holding the title of Mrs. Gu.

Song Jin'an glanced at him, her expression unreadable.

But she carried Gu Hetang and walked over to a little boy.

When the couples with children saw Song Jin'an arrive, they immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu, let the children play together."

These children are all around the same age, with one or two being a year or two older than Gu Hetang.

Song Jin'an thought it wouldn't hurt for the children to play, so she pushed Gu Hetang forward and let them play together.

Gu Hetang was quite daring, and started playing in the sandpit specially prepared for children in the hall, where three or four other children were playing together.

Song Jin'an didn't dare to blink, staring intently at Gu Hetang, who was having a great time. After ten minutes, realizing that they were each playing their own games, she finally found a place to sit down and took out her phone to check messages and reply to fan comments on the comic.

Now, her comics have become quite famous online, and her editor says her royalties this month are likely to be very good.

Some women came to chat with her, and as they walked, they came out of the hall and stood at the door to talk. They didn't notice that a little boy had snatched a toy from Gu Hetang's hand in the sandpit.

After snatching it, he deliberately made a face to scare her, but Gu Hetang wasn't afraid. She had always been quite brave, so she stood up and snatched the shovel back.

During the scramble, the little boy suddenly fell into the sandpit, and cassia seeds splashed into his eyes. Another little boy rushed to help, pushing Gu Hetang down into the sandpit headfirst with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

"Mommy mommy……"

“It hurts!”

As soon as Gu Hetang started crying, Song Jin'an immediately turned around and rushed inside, first picking Gu Hetang up from inside.

I kept touching her head, feeling anxious. I should have just stood by and watched.

But she also understood that children would inevitably quarrel when playing together, so after coaxing Gu Hetang, she wanted to hold the little boy's hand inside.

But he was shoved away, and the little boy asked in a childish voice, "You're mute, don't touch me, or you'll become a mute too!"

While children are said to speak without thinking, the fact that such words came out of their mouths clearly indicates that someone at home taught them to say them.

The little boy's mother quickly stepped forward, glared at her son, and said with a forced smile, "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Gu. The child is still young and what he said shouldn't be taken seriously. Please don't take it to heart."

"Mom, she got sand in my little brother's eyes, that's why I helped him!"

The one who spoke was the oldest among them, and his expression was already very clear, which is when the others realized what was happening.

A little boy was sitting nearby, covering his eyes and crying. Another mother then realized that her son was injured and rushed over: "Son, let Mom see your eyes."

"I can't open my eyes, it hurts so much..."

But soon, the foreign object in the eye was removed, though it was a little red.

The little boy cried his heart out, and no amount of comforting from his parents could soothe him.

At this moment, Gu Xijue entered, his brows furrowed: "What's wrong?"

Gu Hetang is the granddaughter of the Gu family, so who would dare to say anything? She could only bear the injury. The little boy's father even smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, it's alright. It's inevitable that children will get hurt when they play together. It's good that your daughter wasn't hurt."

Such humble words made the mother, who felt sorry for her son, unable to sit still: "You don't feel sorry for your own son, but instead feel sorry for the culprit!"

Gu Hetang also had tears in his eyes and was very unhappy, gripping the shovel tightly in his hand.

"Shut up!" the little boy's father snapped.

Gu Xijue's sharp eyes looked at Gu Hetang, which made the little girl tremble.

She's only two years old and can't speak fluently yet, so you definitely won't get any answers from her if you ask her what happened.

By this time, the hall was already packed with people.

Just as Gu Xijue was asking Gu Hetang to apologize, Song Jin'an suddenly typed a few words on her phone and played them.

“I saw there was surveillance footage.”

Everyone looked up and saw that there was indeed a surveillance camera.

Duan Nanhe patted his head: "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about the surveillance cameras."

He quickly ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance footage, and five minutes later, the video was imported into Duan Nanhe's phone.

The surveillance footage shows the injured little boy trying to snatch the shovel from Gu Hetang's hand first, and then making a face after it was taken away.

Only then did Gu Hetang return the hand, and then another little boy came over to help.

The video clearly shows that the parents of the two boys turned pale instantly and hurriedly pushed their children out.

"Quickly apologize to Tangtang and say sorry!"
