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

Chapter 94: Taking the Driving School Test

Song Jin'an placed one copy of the finalized divorce agreement on the table in her study, and sent the other copy directly back to the old house.

Her attitude has made it clear: divorce is possible, but the child will stay with her, and all child support payments for Gu Hetang until he turns eighteen will be paid in a lump sum.

Mrs. Gu hadn't expected this request, so she agreed to the divorce. Gu Xijue also saw the divorce agreement, but unexpectedly, he didn't confront her face-to-face this time. Instead, he treated it coldly and pretended not to have seen it.

The two lived in different rooms of the villa in a strange atmosphere, and could only see each other when eating; otherwise, they relied entirely on luck.

Song Jin'an didn't care too much. As long as she made her stance clear, she could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate at any time. During this month, Du Lan also became Gu Xijue's regular female companion when he attended banquets.

Everyone is speculating whether the Gu family has already kicked that mute woman out of the house, otherwise Du Minghua wouldn't have left his daughter with a married woman.

Every day, Song Jin'an stays at home with her child and then draws comics. Her comics have gradually gained popularity, and her popularity is getting higher and higher, showing a strong trend of becoming popular.

She didn't think much of it and continued to diligently draw and update her comics every day, ignoring Gu Xijue and Du Lan's romantic affair.

Even though, in the eyes of outsiders, Song Jin'an has already been kicked out of the Gu family, Gu Xijue has not actually signed the divorce agreement yet.

These rumors quickly reached the ears of Song Jin'an's family, who were on high alert, fearing that the Gu family would kick out the bloodsucker and leave no projects for Song's company.
Currently, the person in charge of the Song family is Liu Qin, Song Jin'an's stepmother. She has no business acumen. If it weren't for the professional managers, the Song family would have gone bankrupt long ago. Although it is currently only barely making ends meet, if there are no more projects from the Gu Group, it will go bankrupt and be liquidated within six months.

Liu Qin had been keeping a lover on the side. It was this lover who told her that Gu Xijue and Song Jin'an were getting a divorce.

She shoved the pretty boy away and turned to call Song Jin'an. But after the phone rang for four or five seconds, she hung up with a gloomy face. The mute couldn't speak, and Liu Qin couldn't understand sign language. For decades, she had never looked at Song Jin'an properly, nor had she ever spoken to her.

So she decided to find someone to ask about the situation first. If it was very detrimental to the Song family, she would go directly to the Gu family to find Song Jin'an.

……

The clothes Gu Hetang wore underneath were always hand-washed by Song Jin'an. When she did laundry, she habitually threw all the clothes in the baskets at home into the washing machine.

In the laundry room, Gu Xijue's dirty clothes were still there. When Lin Ma saw Song Jin'an come, she hurriedly stuffed all the clothes in the basket into the washing machine, as if she was afraid that Song Jin'an would see something.

Seeing that Lin Ma had stuffed everything in, Song Jin'an walked over to her and gestured.

—Aunt Lin, you forgot to categorize the colors.

After saying that, she opened the washing machine door and took out all the white clothes inside, preparing to put them in another washing machine.

Just then, Song Jin'an noticed a lipstick stain on the collar of her white shirt. She paused, her mind blank, and mechanically walked to the sink, scrubbed the lipstick stain off with soap, and then put it in the washing machine.

Lin's mother sighed, thinking to herself that she had only had a few days of peace, and now her husband seemed to want to give up again.
"Madam, it's the master's fault..."

Song Jin'an shook her head, seemingly genuinely unconcerned, and instead comforted Lin's mother.

—Aunt Lin, I've enrolled in driving school and need to pass the first part of the test. I'll be a bit busy, so I'll have to trouble you with Tangtang.

Song Jin'an enrolled in driving school overnight. After all, there would be no driver to pick her up and drop her off after the divorce, which would be inconvenient for taking Gu Hetang to kindergarten. So she decided to learn to drive and get her driver's license first.

She's already working hard on practice problems.

"You can focus on your studies. I'll take good care of Miss." Lin's mother knew that Song Jin'an was preparing for life after the divorce.

Song Jin'an returned to her bedroom and started practicing questions on the app again. She told herself to calm down, not to be disturbed, and to study hard so she could pass the written test on her first try and get her driver's license within two months. Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Gu Group.

Wei Zhou came in, holding a document in his hand. He didn't know what was inside, but it was sent from the old house.

"Mr. Gu, it was delivered from the old house."

Gu Xijue frowned when he saw the folder; he knew what was inside without even thinking.

"Just leave it there," he said, without even glancing at the folder.

Wei Zhou stood still, not leaving. Gu Xijue asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?"

Wei Zhou could only stammer, "Mr. Gu, tonight is Miss Du's birthday party. What would you like to give her as a gift?"

"Madam wants you to put your heart into it." This means that Wei Zhou should not do it for Gu Xijue; Gu Xijue should choose for himself.

In the past, Wei Zhou always selected the gifts for these banquets, and he never made a mistake. But this time, the old family had spoken, so they could only leave the problem to him.

However, Wei Zhou also felt that the old house was somewhat inhumane. The husband hadn't even divorced his wife yet, and now he was already casting a wide net to find a new daughter-in-law.

So deciding how to give this gift, and what to give, becomes a challenge.

After all, Wei Zhou couldn't figure out what kind of relationship these three people had...

What exactly is Mr. Gu's attitude towards his wife?

Gu Xijue glanced at Wei Zhou and said coldly, "Do I have to decide even when it comes to giving a gift?"

This sounds like he's being called brainless.

Wei Zhou: "..."

"You decide how to deliver it." Gu Xijue said, standing up from his chair and grabbing his coat to leave.

Are we going back to the villa?

Gu Xijue said in a deep voice, "I'm not going back."

"Are you going to Miss Du's birthday party?" Wei Zhou spoke up again: "It's too early now, it's not time to enter yet."

He thought, "He's been wanting to go to the banquet for a long time. Could it be that President Gu is really planning to divorce his wife?"
Wei Zhou imagined all sorts of things in his mind, and then he was bombarded with a barrage of insults: "How come I never noticed before that you talk so much?"

"Drive." Gu Xijue tossed him the keys: "Go find Duan Nanhe."

Du Minghua probably won't be going abroad for at least six months, so he'll be staying in Haicheng. He bought a large villa in the wealthy villa district and has been living there for a while. Half a month ago, he brought his whole family back to China. It just so happens to be Du Lan's birthday, so he decided to hold a birthday banquet to get to know the wealthy families in Haicheng.

He made a high-profile return to China and became close to the Gu family. There were even rumors that the two families were going to get married. Now he went to all of them.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Duran, dressed in a formal gown, was already at the entrance of the villa to greet guests, her face beaming with a sweet smile.
