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

Chapter 65 Attending the Banquet
Anyway, Su Ruoya and he were a match made in heaven, and he forbade her from mentioning Jiang Ciyu again, so why did he agree to let her attend the Jiang family's banquet?

Song Jin'an recalled that in all the years she had been married into the Gu family, she had never attended any of these high-society banquets. The reason was simple: the Gu family couldn't afford to lose face.

If she went, where would the Gu family's face and Gu Xijue's face be? The Gu family has always been afraid of being laughed at by others, so Gu Xijue would always bring a relatively fixed female companion to these occasions, rather than her, Mrs. Gu.

"Song Jin'an, what do you mean? You don't want to go?" Gu Xijue didn't expect her to refuse.

His eyes narrowed slightly: "Haven't you always wanted to be recognized? Now I'm giving you that chance."

Song Jin'an listened to Gu Xijue's words with disbelief in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and gestured stiffly.

—Gu Xijue, have you gone mad?
Do you know what it means to bring me to a banquet?

Looking at her expression, Gu Xijue also saw a struggle in his eyes. In fact, when he said those words, he was also surprised that she would say such a thing.

Based on his past thinking, he wouldn't want her to go out and embarrass the Gu family. After all, what could a mute like her do at those celebrity-filled banquets?
"Aren't you my wife?" Gu Xijue stared into her eyes and said coldly, "Remember to buy yourself a suitable evening dress and use my card."

Song Jin'an looked at him and gestured with her hand.

—Go ahead and go yourself, I won't go. You don't lack female companions. Miss Su has been accompanying you to various banquets all year, she's more presentable than you.

When she said she wasn't going, Gu Xijue's face immediately darkened, and his eyes glared at her intently!
"Song Jin'an, have I given you any face?" He looked at the woman in front of him with an expression that suggested she was taking advantage of him, as if she was deliberately trying to antagonize him.

Song Jin'an pursed her lips and gestured with her hand again.

—I think I've made myself very clear, and I've already declined Jiang Ciyu's invitation to go.

Looking back now, it would have been better to stay home, draw comics, and take care of the kids than to go to those ruthless places. In the years she'd spent with her family, she'd long since given up on any unnecessary social interactions; it was exhausting, more exhausting than she'd ever felt before.

"Go when I tell you to!" Gu Xijue was getting a little irritated, his eyes fixed on the woman who was refusing him: "Or are you someone who can't be seen in public, having an affair with Jiang Ciyu?"

He said this purely out of anger, because he knew that even if Jiang Ciyu had designs on other people's wives, Song Jin'an wouldn't dare to do it.

No matter what you say, I don't want to go with you.

Seemingly feeling that this was too stiff, she gestured with her hands again.

——Okay, I'll be honest, I'm afraid of embarrassing the Gu family.

Although she gestured to show that she was telling the truth, she didn't really mean it at all; she just didn't want the man in front of her to keep asking her questions.

Gu Xijue raised an eyebrow, staring at her intently, seemingly quite pleased with her words. He reached out and pinched her chin, staring at her cheek with a half-smile.

"Don't think that saying these nice words will make me let you go. Just go with me if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Also, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm making a request of you."

The man spoke in a harsh tone, then turned and left.
