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

Chapter 4 Please admit your mistake.
Although she couldn't speak, she could still express that she hadn't pushed him. Song Jin'an shook her head vigorously and gestured with her fingers.

—I didn't push her, it was Su Ruoya herself…

Because she didn't acknowledge it and didn't finish gesturing, Old Master Gu was so angry that he picked up the teacup, which was still scalding hot, and threw it directly at Song Jin'an, who was kneeling on the ground. The water droplets splashed onto her face, and the teacup shattered into pieces with a bang, hitting the back of her hand and leaving a bloody mark.

"If you don't admit your mistake, kneel in the ancestral hall and never get up!"

After Old Master Gu finished speaking, he glanced at Song Jin'an kneeling on the ground, and left angrily. This birthday banquet was supposed to end happily, but it was ruined by this plague. He should have known better than to let her come back and embarrass herself!

Song Jin'an was pinned to the ground by Gu Xijue. Her whole body ached, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. She had done nothing wrong, yet she was taken to the ancestral hall and insulted and ridiculed. She looked up at Gu Xijue standing beside her. The man's eyes were sharp and ruthless, as if her misery had nothing to do with him.

She lowered her head, her nails digging into her palms, her hot and tense body trembling slightly, and then she heard Gu Xijue standing next to her.

"Song Jin'an, I'm giving you two choices: either admit your mistake or get a divorce."

Hearing Gu Xijue's voice, Song Jin'an looked up at him, then shook her head even more firmly. She didn't push the person at all, so why was she admitting her mistake? Was it just because his sweetheart was still lying in the hospital?
Madam Gu, Lin Qingshuang, also stood to the side, her eyes full of disdain. She had long been thinking about getting her son to divorce Song Jin'an.

After all, Song Jin'an had utterly humiliated the Gu family, branding them with shame and making them unable to hold their heads high in the capital's elite circles for years. Looking down at Song Jin'an, who remained kneeling on the ground without responding to the divorce proposal, he sneered, "If you don't want a divorce and don't want to admit your mistake, you don't deserve to kneel before the ancestors of the Gu family. Butler Liu, drag her outside the ancestral hall and make her kneel until she admits her mistake!"

Song Jin'an was numb to Lin Qingshuang's sarcastic remarks, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Xijue, as if she wanted to confirm something.

Gu Xijue's gaze, however, was icy cold: "Don't even think about trying to soften my heart with your filthy eyes. You never deserve it."

After saying that, he turned and left.

As Song Jin'an watched his resolute departure, her heart, which had already been patched up and torn apart countless times, began to crack again, little by little.

In the ancestral hall, everyone gradually left, leaving only Steward Liu kneeling on the ground with Song Jin'an.

Butler Liu walked up to Song Jin'an and said, "Young Madam, Madam says you should kneel outside."

Song Jin'an looked at him, but in the end she didn't deliberately make things difficult for him. She walked to the open space outside the ancestral hall, and she didn't know where a fierce feeling came from. She dragged her limp and feverish body to kneel on the ground. The night wind was cool, but it was not as cool as her heart.

I don't know how long I knelt, but suddenly several flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by several deafening claps of thunder—

It was about to rain, and at that moment, Steward Liu ran to the corridor to take shelter from the rain. He was also very angry. It was really bad luck to have someone kneeling in the ancestral hall at night.

He finally spoke up, urging, "Young Madam, please admit your mistake!"
