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

Chapter 66 Shocking the Heavenly Being
Song Jin'an did not agree to go; she had no thought about it at all. She was either painting at home or playing with Gu Hetang.

The mother and daughter had a great time, and Song Jin'an's heart was filled with love. A week later, one afternoon, a group of people pushed in a clothes rack and carried toolboxes.

The person in charge said that President Gu had sent them to do Song Jin'an's makeup and styling, saying that she would be attending a banquet tonight.

Song Jin'an didn't want to do makeup and styling, but the stylist had already started picking out clothes for her to try on, and then she tried them all on. Gu Hetang, who was standing next to her, watched her with bright eyes.

At this moment, Gu Xijue returned from outside, and the stylist turned his attention to him.

Gu Xijue said expressionlessly, "Go change."

He then sat down on the sofa to play with Gu Hetang.

Song Jin'an was forced to change into several outfits, but none of them were approved by Gu Xijue. It wasn't until the last simple black bodycon dress appeared that everyone present was pleasantly surprised.

The stylist, in particular, had eyes full of admiration. Even before the outfit was paired with makeup, it already fit her perfectly and accentuated her figure.

The Xiang family's clothing is like that; if worn well, it's breathtaking, but if worn poorly, it looks like a country bumpkin. Song Jin'an is definitely the former.

"Mrs. Gu, you look very beautiful in this dress." It is said that the success of fashion depends on body shape and face. The stylist even felt that if this mute lady were a little taller, she could walk the international runway.

Song Jin'an glanced at herself in the mirror, then turned and glanced at the man playing with Gu Hetang. Neither of them noticed her. After the makeup was finished, the stylist walked up to Gu Xijue and said, "Mr. Gu, Madam has changed her clothes and finished her makeup."

At this moment, Gu Xijue finally raised his eyes and looked at Song Jin'an. Indeed, she was a beauty. Over the years, he had never hesitated to admit that Song Jin'an was good-looking, and she was even more beautiful after dressing up.

At 6 p.m., Gu Xijue and Song Jin'an appeared at the banquet venue held by the Jiang family. The moment the couple appeared, they were enough to attract everyone's attention.

This is the first time Song Jin'an has appeared at a banquet since she married into the Gu family. She would never have appeared in the public eye before.

She took Gu Xijue's arm and slowly walked into the venue, feeling even more nervous. Su Ruoya, who was waiting for Gu Xijue in the center of the crowd, never expected that Song Jin'an would appear at the scene.

Moreover, with her appearance, everyone's eyes were drawn to the woman, and the eyes of those around her were filled with astonishment. No one expected that Song Jin'an could be so beautiful.

Su Ruoya clenched her fists so tightly that her molars almost broke.

Why would he bring Song Jin'an to such an event? Doesn't the Gu family never allow her to embarrass herself in public?
She was shocked, and then felt sad. Could it be that Gu Xijue had really fallen in love with Song Jin'an? Otherwise, why would he make exceptions for her time and time again?

Thinking of this, Su Ruoya felt as if a million beasts were raging inside her. She never expected that Song Jin'an would actually come.

"Scared?" Gu Xijue could feel the tension in the woman holding his arm. His voice softened a bit, as if seeing Song Jin'an get the short end of the stick made him feel good: "I thought you were fearless."

Song Jin'an pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but she still straightened her chest. Although she had never been to a banquet before, she didn't want to be scared into running away.

So, while he appeared calm and composed on the surface, his heart was in turmoil, though he concealed it very well.

This banquet is a business banquet, but at such banquets, the most popular choice is to bring a female companion, because female companions can ease the atmosphere, and sometimes they can even exchange contact information with the male companions. This way, the good relationship between the female companions can give the men who are discussing business more to talk about.

Gu Xijue showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, she remained composed and dignified. Soon after, she was led to a CEO. The CEO glanced at Gu Xijue, seemingly casually, and said, "This is the renowned Mrs. Gu? I've heard so much about you."

After speaking, he extended his hand directly. Song Jin'an showed no fear on his face, and with a smile, he nodded slightly and shook hands with the boss.

At this moment, she was being stared at from all directions, some with ill intent, some scrutinizing, and some mocking. She could even sense that these people were talking about her.

"Mr. Gu, you always bring Miss Ruoya to banquets, why is your wife here today?"

After the CEO finished speaking, he glanced at Su Ruoya and said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Su Ruoya, who was standing among the group of female companions, had been paying attention to Gu Xijue's movements. Seeing Song Jin'an, she felt very annoyed. She thought that this woman was really shameless, otherwise why would she come here!

She begged Xi Jue to bring her here, didn't she? She wanted to show the people of Haicheng that the position of Mrs. Gu belonged to her, Song Jin'an.

She didn't want to sit idly by any longer. She smiled slightly at the group of women around her, walked up to them, took the wine glass in her hand, and said with a sweet smile, "Xi Jue, Miss Song."

Song Jin'an looked at her with her calm, watery eyes and nodded slightly.

Su Ruoya, however, continued chatting with Song Jin'an with a smile: "I remember this skirt is a new style from Chanel that hasn't been released yet. Miss Song, you're already wearing it? It's very pretty."

The boss standing nearby also sensed the gossip and looked Song Jin'an up and down: "My wife also likes Xiangjia's clothes very much."

Gu Xijue didn't say anything, but his expression was not good. He knew that Su Ruoya had come here on purpose to humiliate Song Jin'an.

He didn't care about these petty jealousies between women.

After all, out of respect for the Gu family, even if everyone present had the intention to humiliate Song Jin'an, they wouldn't go too far.

Song Jin'an wasn't stupid, but she didn't speak either, because she was waiting, waiting for the man beside her to have a change of heart, to see if he would let Su Ruoya trample on her, who was still in the position of aunt, or...

After a few minutes of silence, Gu Xijue finally spoke: "Standing in high heels is tiring, go sit down."

His words helped Song Jin'an out of the predicament. Su Ruoya's face turned pale, and she felt a tightness in her chest. He actually spoke up for this mute person!

Song Jin'an smiled slightly, released the man's arm, and left.

Su Ruoya immediately replied with a smile, "Let me sit with Miss Song for a while, we can chat."

After saying that, he left with Song Jin'an. The boss could clearly sense that Gu Xijue was protecting the mute, so he quickly shut up and changed the subject: "I heard that Gu's Group is preparing to develop a tourist resort. I also like this project. Would you like to talk about it, Mr. Gu?"

“Of course,” Gu Xijue said.
