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

Chapter 27 Forcing her to drop out of school

After Su Ruoya's allergic reaction, Gu Xijue didn't come back for several days.

Lin's mother said he came back two or three times to get things, but when Gu Xijue came back, Song Jin'an was either sleeping in the bedroom or taking online classes.

Even though Gu Xijue didn't come back to cause her trouble, she still had a strange feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Today was the day Song Jin'an went to school for online and offline classes. She was walking towards the classroom with her books in her hand when she saw a middle-aged man in a suit with a receding hairline when she was still four or five meters away.

When he saw Song Jin'an arrive, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stopped her: "Mrs. Gu..."

Upon hearing this address, Song Jin'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Mrs. Gu, I am the vice principal of the school. I would like to ask you to come to my office for a talk." The vice principal blocked her way like this, clearly not allowing her to enter.

Song Jin'an took out his phone and typed a line of text.

—Is there something you need?
The vice principal wore a fawning and obsequious expression, but he was also conflicted inside, unsure of how to broach the subject.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Song Jin'an typed again on her phone.

—I have to go to class now. We can talk about it after class.

After saying that, she walked into the classroom, but the vice principal stopped her again and said carefully, "Mrs. Gu, why don't you come with me to my office to talk?"

In the office, the vice principal personally brought a chair for Song Jin'an. He thought to himself that one shouldn't hit a smiling person, and after careful consideration, he said, "Mrs. Gu, it's like this, you can no longer come to our school to attend classes, and we will refund the course fees in full to your bank account."

Song Jin'an's heart sank, her brows furrowed as she typed on her phone.

Why should I drop out of school?
The name Gu Xijue came to her mind subconsciously. She frowned and lowered her head to type again.

—Is it Gu Xijue?
The vice principal sighed, nodded, and got straight to the point: "It's President Gu."

"Mr. Gu is just worried about Mrs. Gu having to travel back and forth between home and school while she's pregnant; it's not safe for her." The vice principal was still trying to say nice things, afraid that Song Jin'an would lose her temper in the office and things would get ugly.

Gu Xijue...

Song Jin'an's mind went blank for a moment. She really didn't expect Gu Xijue to do such a disgusting thing!
With his immense power in Haicheng, he could force one school to reject her, and he could make all schools refuse to accept her. No one would refuse to give him this insignificant favor. Song Jin'an clenched her fists, her face turning bright red! She didn't bother with the vice principal anymore and took a taxi home directly!

While Lin Ma was working, she saw Song Jin'an return in a menacing manner and was startled. What had happened?
"Madam, why are you back so early?" Lin Ma was wiping the table with a rag in her hand.

He's not home!
Song Jin'an was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and the top of her head felt like it was going to be blown off.

"The master is in the study." As soon as Lin Ma finished speaking, Song Jin'an ran upstairs to the second floor, making everyone's heart tremble.

Song Jin'an only wanted to find Gu Xijue to settle accounts, so she walked quickly and went straight into the study.

Lin's mother, who was holding a rag on the first floor and looking towards the study on the second floor, heard a loud "bang" as the door slammed shut, which startled her so much that she dropped the rag into the bucket of water.

In the study, Gu Xijue was working on his computer when she stormed up to him and unplugged the computer! She gestured angrily with her hands, her neck turning purple!

—Gu Xijue, you've gone too far! You actually deprived me of my right to go to school!
Song Jin'an's eyes turned red with anger. Her life was originally bleak, and studying was a ray of light in her difficult life. Now, that ray of light has been maliciously extinguished.

A deep sadness welled up inside her. She realized that no matter what she did, if Gu Xi disagreed, it would never happen. She had no say in anything, not even her own life. Thinking of this, tears streamed down her face.

Seeing her pained expression, Gu Xijue coldly curled the corners of his lips and slowly plugged the plug back in. He had plenty of ways to cure her ailment.

"Even now, haven't you figured out where you went wrong?" Gu Xijue's thin lips parted, his tone completely flat.

Song Jin'an looked at his impatient, cold face.

Where did I go wrong?

Seeing her stubbornness, Gu Xijue's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you don't know where you went wrong, you really don't need to go to school anymore."

Who told her to go around attracting attention even when she's heavily pregnant!

Knowing this was the answer she would receive, Song Jin'an's eyes slowly welled up with tears.

In the end, she chose to slam the door and leave, refusing to negotiate any further!
Lin's mother, who was on the first floor keeping a close eye on the situation on the second floor, heard another deafening "bang".

……

Song Jin'an was so angry that she didn't even go downstairs for dinner. It was Lin's mother who brought the food up to her so she could eat a little.

She slept in the second bedroom. In the middle of the night, when she was half asleep, she felt very heavy. In her half-awake state, she moved to a different position to protect her stomach, but she still felt short of breath.

I also smelled an unpleasant odor, very foul and pungent, like the smell of a sewer.

She was awakened by the stench. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Gu Xijue's face lying beside her. He was the source of the stench.

He reeked of alcohol, yet was dressed in a suit and tie. He glanced at the doorway, where a warm yellow corridor light shone through the half-closed door.

Song Jin'an was certain that he had entered the wrong room. He originally wanted to wake him up, but then he remembered that she wouldn't let him go to school, and his anger surged up again. He withdrew his hand and kicked the man off the bed with his foot.

With a loud "bang," followed by an angry male voice: "Song Jin'an, are you out of your mind?!"

Gu Xijue climbed out of bed, filled with anger, and deliberately came back onto the bed to squeeze her hard!
Song Jin'an felt like she was being squeezed so tightly she could hardly breathe. Her nostrils were filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol. She frowned and gestured with her hands.

—You reek of alcohol, it's awful!

Although I'm past the first trimester and no longer feel nauseous or vomit from the smell of smoke or alcohol, I still feel stuffy and nauseous now.

Gu Xijue stared at her for a while. He didn't know if it was because he had been drinking and his mind wasn't clear, but he thought the woman in front of him was quite pretty. She had a small, fair face the size of a palm, and a pair of big, watery eyes that looked like they had been teased by him.

Their relationship has been at a standstill for the past few years, but they have continued to have marital relations.

He hadn't touched Song Jin'an for almost half a year since she became pregnant.

He didn't know if something had gotten into his head at that moment, but he had the illusion that he wanted to hold the woman in front of him down and bully her until she cried.

His gaze lingered for a moment on Song Jin'an's collarbone; it had indeed grown larger, probably due to pregnancy...
