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

Chapter 35: A Fool
His voice was cold, devoid of its previous tenderness.

"No matter how angry you are, you have no reason to lay a hand on innocent people."

Gu Xijue will absolutely not tolerate this.

Hearing this, Lin Ma, who had come downstairs first, felt even more sorry for Song Jin'an.

She always felt that Su Ruoya was not a good person. How could a good person go to such lengths to bully an honest person like Madam?

“Xi Jue, I…” Su Ruoya’s eyes were full of tears. Anyone who saw her would feel some pity for her, but in Lin Ma’s eyes, she was a completely bad woman. Her pretentious behavior was really disgusting.

"I was just angry, so I sent someone to pretend to teach that old lady a lesson..."

Su Ruoya admitted to it, but she didn't take full responsibility; instead, she downplayed the issue.

She covered her mouth and sobbed, even weeping bitterly, her watery eyes looking at Gu Xijue.

"Xi Jue, I was wrong about this. I shouldn't have threatened people." At this moment, Su Ruoya lowered her stance to the lowest level. Seeing that Gu Xi Jue's expression seemed to soften a bit, she shifted the blame onto Song Jin An.

"I was provoked by Miss Song several times, and that's when I was blinded by greed and did this wrong thing..."

Gu Xijue also knew that Song Jin'an had provoked Su Ruoya. He rubbed his temples and said, "The matter has been dealt with. The person who hit her was her son. Grandma Zhang did not want her son to go to jail, so she took the initiative to write a letter of understanding and was detained for seven days."

Before Su Ruoya could even smile, something flew down from the sky with a "bang," hitting the coffee table in the middle of the sofa and smashing a hole in it.

"Ah—" Su Ruoya exclaimed, her face still showing shock. Gu Xijue turned to look at Song Jin'an standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, his brows furrowed and his teeth clenched: "Song Jin'an, what's wrong with you!"

The veins on Gu Xijue's neck throbbed with rage!

Song Jin'an stared into those sinister eyes, gesturing with all her might, her chest heaving violently!

—Gu Xijue, she is the murderer, and you are the accomplice!

—I think you're blind and stupid, otherwise you wouldn't have continued to protect her even when the evidence was conclusive!
She used incredibly foul language, which surprised Gu Xijue. He hadn't expected to be insulted, especially by a mute person!
Gu Xijue stared coldly at Song Jin'an, his eyes seeming to want to snap her neck, making Song Jin'an gasp in shock.

Although Su Ruoya couldn't understand what Song Jin'an was gesturing, she knew from Gu Xijue's reaction that it wasn't something nice.

Moreover, Gu Xijue was genuinely angry this time.

"Xijue, don't be angry. Miss Song was just too anxious." Su Ruoya stepped in again at this moment because she knew that in Gu Xijue's heart, she was more important than Song Jin'an.

Otherwise, why would he speak up for himself and completely ignore the grievances suffered by his wife?
Song Jin'an looked at Su Ruoya, sneered, and before anyone could react, she picked up the vase beside her and smashed it down on Su Ruoya again!

Su Ruoya was stunned. Her instinct told her to move away, but she stood still and let the bottle hit her. In less than half a second, a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist and moved her away.

With a "bang," the porcelain shattered into pieces at her feet.

Song Jin'an's smash missed Su Ruoya. Gu Xi glanced at the shards on the ground, rushed to her, and grabbed her shoulders tightly, as if trying to crush her. "Song Jin'an!"

He shouted coldly!

The force in his hand was enough to leave a mark on Song Jin'an's shoulder. Gu Xijue's eyes were bloodshot: "If you don't want to live, then go die yourself. Don't act like a fool in front of me, and don't even think about hurting Ruoya in front of me!"

Song Jin'an smiled when she heard what he said.

—You can see me hurting her with your eyes open, but you can't see anything when she hurts me!
—If I said that I almost lost my child last time, it was Su Ruoya who pushed me, would you believe me? If I said that she dragged me into the pool, would you believe me?

She stubbornly raised her head, looking at the man in front of her, but Gu Xijue pressed her against the wall: "Song Jin'an, you're lying through your teeth. I wish I could strangle you right now. You say Ruoya hurt you, but can you produce any evidence?"

At this moment, Su Ruoya spoke up at just the right moment, her voice choked with emotion: "Miss Song, if I have really hurt you, I will definitely admit it..."

"Regarding the injury to the maid who raised you, I sincerely apologize. I was wrong this time, and I am willing to bear all medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress..."

Song Jin'an smiled wryly, finding it even more amusing as she listened to Su Ruoya's repeated apologies!
In Gu Xijue's eyes, she will always be a liar, a ruthless woman who will do anything, and she would even gamble with the child in her womb.

But Su Ruoya was an exceptionally good woman, and Song Jin'an laughed through her tears.

—Gu Xijue, you're a complete idiot!
Gu Xijue paused, ignoring her insults, his face cold, but his tone carried a warning: "Song Jin'an, you'd better know better than to mess with me, or I'll make sure you don't leave that second bedroom before you give birth!"

After saying that, he shook her off and turned to go downstairs. Song Jin'an lost her balance and almost stumbled.

He didn't stop walking or look back; he left the villa directly.

Su Ruoya merely glanced at Song Jin'an, wiped away her tears, said something with her mouth open, and then turned and left to chase after Gu Xijue.

Watching the two of them swagger away, Song Jin'an sat down on the stairs, feeling utterly exhausted.

Witnessing the whole thing, Lin Ma wiped away her tears, walked to Song Jin'an's side, gently hugged her, and patted her back: "Madam, if you want to cry, just cry it out. It's not good to hold it in."

Song Jin'an didn't say a word, and she had no more tears left to shed.

Lin's mother sat quietly to the side, offering words of comfort. After a while, she began to scold Su Ruoya: "That woman is no good. I don't know how the master was bewitched by her!"

"Shameless! Pah!"

"I've worked for wealthy families for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered such an ill-mannered and shameless rich girl! Could she have been switched at birth?"

Lin's mother kept talking, constantly defending Song Jin'an! She sat with Song Jin'an for a long time until Song Jin'an's stomach made an untimely noise.

Lin's mother patted her forehead: "Madam must be hungry. I'll go cook right away. It will be ready in half an hour. Have some fruit to tide you over first."
