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

Chapter 43 The Wife Wakes Up
The atmosphere inside the police station was very tense.

Gu Xijue's gaze was icy, and his voice was completely flat: "We cannot make hasty judgments without evidence."

The police are doing their best to investigate, but it is still unclear whether the case was the personal act of the deceased Mr. Lin, who wanted to take someone down with him before he died, or whether he was instructed by someone behind him.

Wei Zhou didn't know what to say for a moment.

The car accident did seem very strange, but the police investigated the case for the crucial 48 hours without finding any valuable clues.

"Perhaps this was just an accident?"

Wei Zhou stated the police's current conclusion, but he actually thought the same thing.

Although he had been by Gu Xijue's side for so many years, he would often see this so-called illegitimate Mrs. Gu because of work.

Because the wife is not good at speaking, she is usually very quiet and stays mostly in the villa. She doesn't have many friends, so it's unlikely that any enemies would come looking for revenge and bribe Master Lin.

"Let's talk about it after she wakes up." Gu Xijue's face was somber, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Behind him were several police officers who were waiting for him to leave. They exchanged glances, as if they had a thousand words to say.

The atmosphere remained tense. The boss in charge of the case walked up to Gu Xijue and said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, rest assured, we will handle this case impartially and fairly."

"Officer Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Gu Xijue stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

After watching the big shot leave, the police officer surnamed Zhang rubbed his temples and glanced at his team members behind him: "Let's go, get to work first, then we can eat."

On the other side, in Su Ruoya's home where she lives alone.

She sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly swirling the red wine in her glass, one sip after another, her expression becoming more relaxed.

Hearing that the woman still hadn't woken up, he couldn't help but feel elated, and drank all the red wine in his glass in one gulp, not leaving a single drop.

But the only thing that made her uncomfortable was that she didn't fall into the river as planned. It was such a pity. If she had fallen into the river or sea from the overpass, her body would have been washed up to the estuary and fed to the sharks. What's that called again... a body torn to pieces.

However, the vehicle did not land smoothly as planned, which made Su Ruoya somewhat displeased.

After all, the person is still alive, and that wretched creature has not yet been taken away by the Grim Reaper. Everything must wait and see.

It would be a pity if Song Jin'an really died like this.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see her have a grand wedding with Xijue, or have a son and a daughter after marriage.

Just as I was thinking this, suddenly...

The doorbell rang.

Su Ruoya was startled, but quickly stood up from the ground. When she reached the stairwell, she saw that the housekeeper had already opened the door and Gu Xijue had come over. Her expression was slightly surprised: "Xijue, why didn't you say you were coming?"

Su Ruoya felt a little uneasy, but she pretended to be clueless.

Gu Xijue looked at her, his lips slightly pursed: "Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

She could sense that the man in front of her seemed a little different today, but she didn't dare to think too deeply about what was different, because she was still a little uneasy, afraid that he had guessed something.

"Come in," Su Ruoya said with a smile, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Have you been drinking?" Gu Xijue asked.

Su Ruoya smiled and even sniffed the air: "Hmm, it's a bit boring living here alone, so I opened a bottle of wine to numb my nerves."

She didn't go back to the Su family home to live with her parents; instead, she stayed here after returning to China. It goes without saying that she was waiting for someone to come to her, making things more convenient. Gu Xijue looked at Su Ruoya, frowned slightly, and said bluntly, "Something came up recently, so I haven't come to see you."

"What happened?" Su Ruoya asked with a probing expression. "It must be something serious, no wonder you haven't contacted me recently."

She seemed very sad as she spoke, and her face grew increasingly forlorn.

"Song Jin'an was in a car accident and is still unconscious in the intensive care unit," Gu Xijue said coldly.

These words startled Su Ruoya, her eyes widening in astonishment: "Is it that serious?"

"Did she and your child survive?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, as if he was worried for the innocent child.

Looking at her expression, Gu Xijue couldn't help but show a hint of emotion when he heard about the child. This made Su Ruoya's heart skip a beat. Could it be that Song Jin'an had given birth to a boy?
Her fingers clenched tightly behind her back as she tried her best to control her emotions.

"The child is also in the intensive care unit."

Su Ruoya looked at Gu Xijue and said softly, "The technology is now mature, and the survival rate of premature babies has improved a lot. Xijue, don't worry too much."

She was still comforting the man in front of her, reaching out to pat him on the back.

Gu Xijue hummed in response, his face remaining expressionless and showing little emotional fluctuation. Su Ruoya, however, looked up at him and asked, "Xijue, did you come to see me today because of something?"

"I wanted to come see you." His words stirred Su Ruoya's heart, and a blush crept onto her face.

But his next words immediately put Su Ruoya on alert.

“My mother said that she invited you to the old house for tea a few days ago and had a very pleasant chat with you.”

Suddenly, the topic shifted to this, and Su Ruoya looked surprised: "Your aunt told you about this?"

"Didn't your aunt say she wouldn't tell you, because she was afraid it would embarrass us?"

After all, they were a former couple who almost got married and had children, and he already has a wife.

Gu Xijue looked at Su Ruoya and continued, "She also arranged for a driver to take you back later."

"Yes, I went to taste wine with my uncle that day, so I couldn't drive. My aunt arranged for a driver surnamed Lin to take me home."

Every word she said was irrefutable.

Hearing this, Gu Xijue's brow relaxed slightly, as if confirming something. Not long after, Wei Zhou called to say that Song Jin'an had woken up, and he went to the hospital again.

Su Ruoya's face lit up with joy: "It's good that you're awake, you should go quickly."

After Gu Xijue left, her fingers curled up tightly, her nails seemingly about to pierce her flesh, her eyes turned sinister, and she muttered, "Song Jin'an, you're lucky to be alive."

If there's a next time, you won't be so lucky.

She didn't die; in fact, she gave birth to a child.

Fortunately, she wiped away all the loose ends and even left the police with a set of "clues" to solve the case. This time, she was determined not to get involved in this mess.

Outside the intensive care unit of the hospital, through the glass window, one could see layers upon layers of white coats surrounding Song Jin'an's bedside.

When Wei Zhou saw Gu Xijue coming over, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, Madam has woken up."
