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

Chapter 82: Divorce Issued Again
Because Jiang Ciyu's injury was quite serious, Song Jin'an inevitably felt guilty, so she would occasionally go to the hospital to keep him company and chat with him.

Sometimes they would even bake bread and bring it to the hospital. The two chatted happily, but unexpectedly, a sarcastic and cold voice rang out at the door of the ward: "Young Master Jiang, don't you think you've overstepped your bounds? Talking and laughing with a married woman, what, are you trying to steal her away?"

These words were blunt and harsh. Song Jin'an turned her head and immediately saw Gu Xijue standing expressionlessly at the door of the ward.

She frowned, thinking this person was sick, while Gu Xijue walked to the bedside on his own, grabbed Song Jin'an's hand, and tried to drag her out.

"Mr. Gu, you're being too harsh on your wife. Be careful, or one day someone else might steal her away, and you won't even have time to cry." Jiang Ciyu retorted without backing down.

Gu Xijue's face remained grim, showing no respect for Jiang Ciyu, and he sneered repeatedly: "Is this other person your Young Master Jiang?"

"Young Master Jiang has some really heavy tastes. He even has a habit of coveting other men's wives. This is not a good habit and he should change it."

Gu Xijue frowned and kept attacking. The two stared at each other, seemingly about to start a fight at any moment.

Meanwhile, the man lying on the hospital bed was not to be outdone: "Of course I wouldn't covet another man's wife, after all, I have the face. But Mr. Gu, you have a wife and daughter and you're two-timing, that's a bad habit, you really should change it."

Every word was a precise strike. Looking at Gu Xijue's expression, Song Jin'an felt a sharp pain in her hand. She wanted to pull it away, but there was no chance.

Gu Xijue sneered and held Song Jin'an tightly, refusing to let go: "Young Master Jiang, spreading rumors is illegal."

After saying that, he glanced at Song Jin'an beside him and had an urge to strangle her: "You're something else, finding a lover outside and even finding the young master of the Jiang family."

Upon hearing what he said, Song Jin'an instantly became furious and expressed her dissatisfaction with one hand.

—Gu Xijue, what nonsense are you talking about? I am not you!

—Jiang Ciyu and I are friends, not as filthy as you think!
Gu Xijue's eyes darkened, and he glanced at her: "Do you think I believe that?"

A man's intuition is never wrong. Jiang Ciyu is interested in her, but how much of it is genuine affection and how much is exploitation?

"Come outside with me, I have something to tell you." He grabbed the woman and started to walk outside, only letting go after he had pulled her outside.

Gu Xijue's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He spoke, his voice carrying a hint of intimidation: "Withdraw the lawsuit against Su Ruoya."

Hearing him say he was withdrawing the lawsuit, Song Jin'an felt a chill run down his spine and froze on the spot. Even now, he was still pleading for Su Ruoya.

Song Jin'an gestured unhappily, her fingers trembling.

—I will not drop the charges, so forget about it.

After gesturing, she stared intently at the man in front of her. The next second, she heard his voice in her ear: "Yes, I admit that Su Ruoya is wrong. However, at present, her going to prison will not benefit the Gu family at all. The Gu and Su families still have a lot of interests involved. If she goes to prison, then they will break off relations. But now is not the time for you to be willful."

Hearing what he said, Song Jin'an curled her lips into a cold laugh several times, and she stretched out her hand with extreme anger.

—This is the retribution she deserves; I will not drop the charges.

Gu Xijue frowned: "Song Jin'an, I've already told you the reasons, why are you still being so aggressive and unwilling to back down?"

He accused her of being unwilling to back down and compromise, which Song Jin'an found ridiculous; everything about her was absurd.

She pursed her lips and finally backed down.

—I can withdraw the lawsuit, but I have one request.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xijue frowned, his deep eyes fixed on her: "Song Jin'an, what tricks are you trying to pull now?" — I want a divorce from you, I'll take the child with me, and as long as you agree, I'll call the court immediately to withdraw the lawsuit. That's all I ask for.

Gu Xijue was taken aback that she wanted a divorce. His anger suddenly flared up, the veins on his hands bulged, and he looked at her with a dark expression: "You really want a divorce that badly?"

Song Jin'an's heart was pounding. Her attitude was clear: she wanted a divorce and custody of the child.

"Heh." Gu Xijue sneered, "Song Jin'an, do you really want a divorce?"

"say!"

There was no love in their marriage to begin with, and these past few years of being forced together have been exhausting.

As it turns out, a marriage without love is like walking on a knife's edge, leaving you bleeding profusely. Thinking of those grievances, she clenched her fists, but the next second, she nodded heavily.

But the next second, her chin was restrained, and she met the man's eyes, which seemed to burn everything.

"Song Jin'an, do you even deserve to ask for a divorce? Let me tell you, I'm the only one who will ever kick you out!"

After saying that, he started roaring again, seemingly very emotionally unstable, his eyes bloodshot: "I'm doing you a favor by asking you to take the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit. Even if you don't agree, I can still get someone to withdraw the lawsuit."

Song Jin'an knew he had this ability, so she pursed her lips and resisted him.

She didn't speak, which only made Gu Xijue angrier: "If you want a divorce, fine, but you can't take the child with you."

“You’re a mute, you don’t deserve to be her mother. After the divorce, I’ll find her a mother with a better background. You don’t care about the position of Mrs. Gu, but plenty of socialites and heiresses do.”

Upon hearing what he said, Song Jin'an broke down and began to use sign language in a state of emotional distress!
—Gu Xijue, you've gone too far! You clearly promised before that if you had a daughter, she would belong to me, so why are you going back on your word now! Besides, you don't lack women, and you can still have children for you if you remarry. You can afford to raise ten or eight children, but I only have Tangtang. You will have many children in the future, while I only have one daughter!
As Gu Xijue listened to her words, his chest heaved violently, as if he was quite angry about what she said!

"Ten or eight, what do you take me for?"

Suddenly he sneered: "What do you mean you'll only have one daughter? After the divorce, are you so sure you won't remarry? I bet you'll remarry even faster than me!"

"Song Jin'an, don't you already have someone in mind? Isn't Jiang Ciyu your backup plan?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jin'an frowned.

—What does this have to do with Jiang Ciyu?
"I think it was his appearance that made you decide to divorce me." He seemed to have found the reason.

--I don't!

Song Jin'an spoke, and then the man sneered: "I'll ask you one more time, are you withdrawing the lawsuit or not!"

—I'm not leaving!

"Okay, very good," Gu Xijue said, then turned and left.

As Song Jin'an watched his departing figure, tears streamed down her face. She knew that a tough battle was about to begin.

But she would never let go of her daughter. The first step to taking back the child was to have the child in her own hands. So Song Jin'an made a bold decision: to hide the child first.
