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

Chapter 187 Jin An Returns Home
Song Jin'an moved to another city, Qingcheng.

She didn't bother the elderly women at the nursing home because she didn't want them to worry about her divorce.

During the two years she lived in Qingcheng, she also returned to Haicheng four times to play with Gu Hetang. Although she could see Gu Xijue, the two of them basically didn't talk much and just looked at each other in silence.

The following year, Song Jin'an passed the adult undergraduate exam, obtained her adult undergraduate degree, and began applying to universities abroad.

Two weeks later, she successfully applied to a university in Europe, something she had never dared to dream of in over twenty years.

But she truly did it.

I'm about to leave this country, which I haven't set foot in for over twenty years.

This was Song Jin'an's first time on a plane. All her firsts were based on tutorials she found online. She packed her things step by step according to the online tutorials, and when she finally sat on the plane, she still felt a little unreal.

Two years ago, she almost boarded a plane to accompany Gu Xijue to the school anniversary celebration.

However, after many twists and turns, I still couldn't go. Originally, it would have been a regret for me to come here, but I never expected that I would have the chance to go out on my own one day.

The day seemed to come a little late, but it arrived just in time.

Before the plane took off, the crew asked all passengers to put their phones into airplane mode. She turned on her phone screen, and there was Gu Hetang's pretty face, smiling happily.

Song Jin'an's eyes were moist; if she could, she really wanted to leave with her daughter.

But, she can't.

As she rubbed her fingers together, she video-called Gu Hetang before boarding the plane. The little guy was now five years old and in kindergarten.

She has become much more sensible. The Gu family has raised her very well. Although Gu Hetang was a little unhappy that he was going abroad without her, he only said one thing in the end: "Mom, study hard, be careful while you're abroad, and remember to bring me a gift when you come back to China."

Thinking about this, Song Jin'an felt increasingly distressed.

She pursed her lips as the plane took off.

……

Gu's Group, President's Office.

Today, Gu Xijue was not at his desk, but instead looked at the sky through the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. This time, it wasn't Wei Zhou who came in, but Duan Nanhe. He walked over to Gu Xijue and sighed, "You, it's been two years, and not only have you failed to persuade her to change her mind, you even forced that little mute girl to go abroad."

"They're more trouble than they're worth."

Duan Nanhe truly felt that Gu Xijue was in this state right now.

Gu Xijue pursed his lips, his eyes flashing: "What are you doing here?"

He had this "you're not welcome here" look on his face, which really made him look incredibly irritating.

Duan Nanhe glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm here to see you make a fool of yourself. Otherwise, what do you think I'd be doing here?"

Gu Xijue glanced at her, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up: "You have such a sharp tongue."

"By the way, Jiang Ciyu originally wanted to go with them, but you've been relentlessly pursuing the Jiang family for the past two years, afraid of bankrupting them, which led Jiang Ren to directly appoint his younger brother as the company's vice president."

Furthermore, they even spread a rumor that Jiang Ciyu did not have the blood of the Jiang family.

Jiang Ren was overjoyed, but his joy lasted only two seconds before Gu Xijue began his retaliation, which has continued for two years now.

Because what Gu Xijue wanted was to wipe out the Jiang family in Haicheng.

"He can't leave."

Jiang Ciyu is gone. Who will fight him now? Besides, he can't let her go and allow a man and a woman to meet in Europe.

The two discussed some specific issues, when suddenly Duan Nanhe asked the question he had been wanting to ask: "By the way, do you have any news from Yu Yousheng's side?"

Duan Nanhe only learned later that Yu Yousheng had caused such a big incident, which could be considered a key factor in the little mute girl's divorce from Gu Xijue.

He never expected that Yu Yousheng and the little mute girl were born to the same mother. Now that he thinks about it, the two really do look alike.

What I didn't expect was that Yu Yousheng disliked Song Jin'an so much that he would go so far as to cause Song Jin'an's family to be destroyed after lying low in Haicheng for a year.

“She went abroad after that incident,” Gu Xijue said slowly, glancing at Duan Nanhe beside him. “She hasn’t contacted you either?”

Duan Nan shook his head vigorously, muttering, "No, it's like he vanished into thin air."

Gu Xijue's breathing became slightly heavy. He withdrew his gaze, finally sat down in his office chair, and continued reading the documents.

Duan Nanhe leaned closer to him and asked in a deep voice, "The little mute girl is gone. Are you really okay?"

"Do you know which university she applied to? Are you going to fly there to see her?"

He felt that must be the case, otherwise why would the man in front of him be so calm and composed, as if this matter had little to do with him?

"No, she'll come back on her own once she's figured things out."

Gu Xijue originally thought she would definitely be unable to resist contacting him, but he never expected it to last a month, two months, six months, a year...

Neither did he. He also stubbornly refused to contact her afterward, seemingly sulking with each other. But in Song Jin'an's view, it had nothing to do with her; it was just a one-sided act by a certain man.

After that, Gu and Tang never heard from her again.

Gu Xijue seemed to have forgotten about this person, and was so angry that he told Gu Hetang not to mention his biological mother in front of him again.

Gu Hetang took those words to heart, and for the rest of the year, he never let the name Song Jin'an ever reach Gu Xijue's ears again.

Two years later, at a charity gala, Gu Xijue heard the name Song Jin'an again.

Four years have passed since the divorce, and Gu Hetang is now in the second grade at an international primary school, having grown into a beautiful elementary school student.

Two years later, Song Jin'an returned to China after completing her studies.

When she set foot on Haicheng again, everything had changed. It seemed that the country had developed better and become more beautiful.

There weren't so many people abroad, but when I came back, the streets were packed with people, and a sense of belonging arose from within.

She turned her gaze away from the distance, booked a ride-hailing service online in advance, and felt incredibly free and happy as she looked at the world outside.

Soon, she returned to the villa she had previously owned, which Gu Xijue had given to her during their divorce.

In fact, she received 50 million and a villa in the divorce. In the eyes of other rich girls, she was kicked out. Otherwise, with the Gu family's market value of several hundred billion, if the man still had some feelings for her, he should have received at least several billion.

I unlocked the door with my fingerprint. The room was dusty and hadn't been inside in a long time.

She went online and found a housekeeping service.

"It might take three or four cleaning ladies to come and clean at the same time. Yes, it's a villa."

"OK, thanks."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and waited for the nearest housekeeper to arrive.

Song Jin'an spoke in a normal tone, just like an ordinary person.
