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

Chapter 59 Aggressive
Jiang Ciyu didn't know why or what was in her mind when she asked that question.

All he could think of was Gu Xijue's aggressive demeanor, even when facing his wife who bore him children, he was still arrogant and haughty.

Song Jin'an looked at him in surprise, a bitter taste gradually spreading in her mouth, as if even the water she swallowed had turned bitter.

She laughed, typing out the words in her mind: "You're talking as if I had a choice."

Whom she marries is not a choice she can make.

Because there was no other choice.

Thinking of this, Song Jin'an felt a surge of sadness. It was a wound that would bleed if reopened.

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous," Jiang Ciyu apologized first.

He really shouldn't have asked that question.

Soon, their meals were served. Neither of them spoke while they ate; they each ate their own food.

However, this French meal didn't quite suit Song Jin'an's taste. Jiang Ciyu noticed that she was having some difficulty eating, and suddenly smiled and said, "Is it hard to eat?"

Song Jin'an has always been an honest person. She nodded seriously, then looked at him and took out her phone to type: "You guys really think it tastes good?"

She couldn't quite understand why French food tasted like this.

Jiang Ciyu smiled again: "I think it's alright."

After the meal, Song Jin'an was about to pay the bill, but Jiang Ciyu gentlemanly stopped her and swiped her card instead.

She gestured with her hands.

—Didn't you say it was my treat?
The waiter handed the card back to Jiang Ciyu with both hands.

"This meal is on me. If you really feel bad about it, you can treat me next time," he said, looking at Song Jin'an.

At this moment, Song Jin'an was surprised that he could understand sign language.

"I've taken some time to learn sign language recently," he told her frankly, without hiding anything.

Jiang Ciyu glanced out the window again; the sun was shining brightly outside. "Get in my car, I'll take you home."

Song Jin'an waved her hand in refusal. She had already called a car using a ride-hailing app. Before leaving, she even said thank you.

……

Gu Group, inside the president's office.

After having lunch with Su Ruoya, Gu Xijue prepared to return to the lounge to rest for half an hour.

But before he rests, he has a habit of watching the surveillance footage, because he can see what Gu Hetang is doing on the footage, and at this time he should be taking a nap.

So he decided to take a look before resting. As soon as he opened the surveillance camera, he heard Gu Hetang's heart-wrenching cries. In the footage, Lin's mother was walking around the room with the child in her arms.

But Gu Hetang just kept crying uncontrollably, repeatedly calling for his mother. Lin Ma tried to comfort him by holding him and gently soothing him, but the little guy just kept crying. Gu Xi felt a surge of frustration and picked up the phone to dial the landline in the villa.

When Lin's mother heard the landline ring, she hurriedly picked up her child and went to answer the phone.

"Why is Tangtang crying? Where is Song Jin'an?"

Lin's mother was really surprised that her husband would call back. She had already sent a message to her wife, who was on her way back.

While coaxing Gu Hetang, she recalled Xi Jue's words: "Madam went out to have dinner with friends."

"Miss was fine before going to sleep, but she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't see Madam, so she kept crying and fussing, and we couldn't soothe her no matter what we did."

On the phone, Gu Hetang kept calling for his mother. Gu Xijue frowned and said, "Call her back!"

"Your wife is already on her way back."

Lin's mother knew that her husband was about to get angry.

"Where did she get these friends?" Gu Xijue asked in a deep voice. "Could it be one of those shady friends from the adult education academy again?"

They even forgot about their children just to go out and have fun!

If he hadn't seen the surveillance footage today, he doesn't know how much Gu Hetang would have cried. What kind of mother is she?
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xijue didn't sleep in the lounge anymore. Instead, he grabbed his car keys and went straight to the underground parking garage to drive home!
He got home before Song Jin'an. When he walked in with a sullen face, Lin Ma hadn't comforted Gu Hetang yet. Gu Hetang was still crying loudly, her face streaked with tears, looking very sad.

When Gu Hetang saw her father arrive, she did not stop crying, because Gu Xijue had almost never stayed with her while she took a nap.

Children are very good at recognizing people, especially when they wake up in the middle of the night and don't see the person they want to see. Some even cry their hearts out.

Seeing his daughter crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, calling out for her mother in a heart-wrenching voice, Gu Xijue walked over, hugged the child in his arms, and gently patted her back.

He was burning with rage!

But his voice was still relatively soft, after all, it was his daughter.

"Okay, Tangtang, be good, don't cry, be good..."

Even though his voice was gentle, Gu Hetang didn't listen at all and cried even harder.

She kept calling out, "Mommy, Mommy."

"I...I want...Mommy, Mommy."

Lin's mother had never seen such a scene before, and she was even more worried about her wife when she returned. Judging from her husband's expression, there was bound to be an argument soon.

"Call her and tell her to come back quickly!"

Gu Xijue frowned, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

Lin's mother hurriedly took out her phone to call Song Jin'an, but just as she was about to dial, he returned.
