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

Chapter 56: Her manuscript was accepted.
Jiang Ciyu then snapped out of her daze, looked away, and nudged him with her racket: "Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It feels much better now that the floodwaters have been released. Come on, let's have another round!" The man who spoke rubbed his stomach.

However, he still jokingly asked his close friend with great interest, "What's going on between you and that mute Mrs. Gu? You stood together and chatted for so long."

Jiang Ciyu glanced at him and said, "If we bump into each other, we can just chat casually."

"You should stay away from her, or bad luck might come knocking." The man raised his eyebrows. He had a feeling that Jiang Ciyu had other thoughts in her mind, thoughts that she couldn't let others see.

Jiang Ciyu looked at him: "Didn't we say we'd have another match?"

He returned to his original position, ready to play another match across the net.

"Alright, this time I'll definitely wipe you out completely!"

On the other side, Song Jin'an pushed the stroller into the door. When Lin's mother saw her return, she busied herself helping to hold the baby and change the diaper.

Song Jin'an glanced over and saw that the couple was no longer there. Lin Ma, who was helping her change, whispered, "The master and Miss Su went out."

She nodded to indicate that she understood, without the slightest displeasure on her face. She figured she might as well just let life continue in this muddled way...

She can't get a divorce. No matter how much she argues and makes a scene, as long as Gu Xijue doesn't agree to the divorce, she won't get a divorce. She's still too weak right now. What she needs to do first is grow and become a tree, instead of a vine clinging to a man.

After the baby was born, time flew by. Song Jin'an was taking care of the baby while studying, and occasionally she would take time to continue drawing comics.

She frantically absorbed knowledge and grew stronger. During this time, she even finished drawing the first twenty chapters of the comic and submitted it to comic editors at more than one publishing house. She also submitted it to the one that Jiang Ciyu recommended to her and waited anxiously for a response.

At this time, Song Jin'an was also in the position of Mrs. Gu, and lived under the same roof with Gu Xijue for nearly half a year. Gu Hetang had also turned one year old and reached the age where he could walk unsteadily. His little mouth would softly call out simple reduplicated words such as "mama" and "papa".

After dinner that day, Song Jin'an sat cross-legged on the living room carpet with Gu Hetang, playing with clay. While keeping Gu Hetang company, she logged into her email account. After logging in, her phone vibrated several times. When she opened it, she saw that there were quite a few reply emails.

My work was rejected by four or five comic book editors. Some of them had reasons, but most of them had no reasons.

After being rejected by all of them, she felt a little disappointed. Just as she was about to turn off her phone and play with her child for a while to distract herself, her phone rang again. She glanced at it subconsciously and saw that it was an email that had just been replied to.

After reading it, his face turned red, and he suddenly stood up from the carpet!

After letting out a few cries of "Ah ah ah," Lin Ma immediately appeared, thinking something had happened. She wiped her hands and walked up to Song Jin'an.

"Madam, what's wrong? Do you need my help?"

Song Jin'an shoved her phone screen in front of Lin Ma, who glanced at it and burst out laughing, "Madam, your manuscript has been approved!"

"They gave you her contact information to add her, hurry up and add her!"

Lin Ma was genuinely happy for Song Jin'an. When Gu Xijue came out of the study, he saw the two of them excitedly hugging and spinning around. He looked at them from the second floor and stared for a while, but they didn't notice him.

"What's the matter? Why are you so happy?" Gu Xijue asked.

At this moment, Song Jin'an and Lin Ma both looked up at the second floor. Gu Xijue saw Song Jin'an grinning foolishly and felt a surge of anger. He even thought that this woman couldn't stay still and wanted to go to school again.

He had just seen her contacting teachers at the adult education college a few days ago, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Lin's mother didn't notice Gu Xijue's sullen face. Instead, she generously shared, "Sir, Madam's comics have been uploaded to a comic website. Madam is really amazing; she can accomplish anything!" Gu Xijue raised an eyebrow. A comic website?

"Don't be fooled into paying for it." He had seen Song Jin'an's comics and thought they were just so-so. They looked like some kind of shoujo manga, but her child was almost a year old. She was a married woman, and she was still doing things that little girls liked. He couldn't understand it.

Song Jin'an knew he was going to attack indiscriminately and that he would definitely not respect her, so she glared angrily at the man on the second floor.

Just then, Gu Hetang, who was engrossed in playing with clay, looked up and saw Gu Xijue smiling happily, calling out, "Daddy, Daddy..."

Each sound was more tingling than the last, the tender voice combined with those beautiful, watery eyes, and the sweet little mouth calling out "Daddy."

Gu Xijue had grown somewhat fond of his daughter, who was almost a year old. He strode down, bent down, picked up his daughter, who was dressed in a princess dress, and rubbed his chin against her soft little face: "Good girl, Tangtang."

While coaxing his daughter in a low voice, he looked at Song Jin'an with a blank expression and said in a deep voice, "It's already nine o'clock, why aren't you telling your daughter a story and putting her to bed?"

It was as if she was being accused, criticizing her for how she was being a mother.

Song Jin'an looked at Gu Xijue, put her phone back in her bag, then took her daughter from his arms, ignored him, and went straight to the children's room.

He stared coldly at her retreating figure until she disappeared from sight, then withdrew his gaze, his face turning even more gloomy.

Song Jin'an first helped her daughter take a bath. While playing in the bathtub, her daughter kept calling out, "Mommy, Mommy, Water..."

However, because she couldn't respond when spoken to, Gu Xijue's parents wanted Su Ruoya to come and take care of the child more often, citing her inability to speak and thus the inability to provide a language environment for the child. She refused with harsh words.

From then on, Lin's mother became Gu Hetang's language development machine. Lin's mother would chat with Gu Hetang every day to give her a normal language environment.

Song Jin'an also used many apps in the hope of producing a voice that children would like.

After she had put her child to sleep, she took out her phone again and searched for and added the contact information left in the email address. The editor was sitting there in her contact list.

Only then did Song Jin'an realize that this editor position had been recommended to her by the young master of the Jiang family.

I first contacted the editor, then paused for a few seconds before searching in the search box and finding Jiang Ciyu.

After much deliberation, I sent him a message.

Thank you for your previous encouragement; my comic has been accepted.

Soon after, the other side also sent out three words.

【congratulations. 】

Then came another line: "I'm the talent scout who spotted your potential at first glance. After you successfully sign a contract, you'll have to treat me to a meal, won't you?"

When Song Jin'an looked at this line of text, she had only one thought in her mind: this person was too shameless. However, she was in a good mood after finishing the draft, so she just said some polite words.

I'll definitely treat you when I have the chance. I need to put the child to bed now.

After saying that, he locked the screen.
