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

Chapter 125 Scamming a Hundred Million
She won't want the child anymore.

She didn't want the Gu family to become a shackle, so she gave it up.

The next morning, Song Jin'an was still sleepy and could barely open her eyes. The main reason was that someone had excitedly made a comeback in the middle of the night, forcing her to stay in the sea and making her feel very tired.

After Gu Hetang finished his class and Teacher Yu left, Song Jin'an was still in bed, so Gu Hetang pushed open the master bedroom door and heard a voice calling, "Mom, Mom..."

"You lazybones, get up!"

She opened her eyes and saw Gu Hetang about to take off his shoes and get into bed, about to pull off her blanket.

At this moment, she was completely naked, half-awake, and quickly covered herself with the blanket. She couldn't speak, and her daughter was too enthusiastic.

At this moment, Gu Xijue stood at the door, watching all of this, his gaze softening at some point.

Just as Gu Hetang was about to lift the covers and crawl in, he stretched out his long legs and hugged his daughter in his arms: "Okay, let's go out first, Mom is getting up."

At this moment, Song Jin'an realized that Gu Xijue was in front of her, but his softened gaze had become aloof and noble as their eyes met.

It was as if that look in his eyes had never existed.

After Gu Hetang left, she went to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. Because she had slept for too long, her mind was still a little groggy.

After she left, Gu Hetang snuggled up to her again, speaking in a childish voice, "Mommy, I like Mommy."

Song Jin'an rubbed her little head, wanting to say that Mommy loves you too, but she was mute and couldn't open her mouth.

Gu Hetang always liked to stick close to her, so after going downstairs, they skipped breakfast and ate lunch. She put the child in a high chair, and the two sat facing each other, with their daughter between them. They did indeed look like a family of three with good looks.

She rarely speaks while eating, except for Gu Hetang who likes to babble and make requests. Now she talks more.

Gu Xijue didn't even look up, but because of his daughter's explosive speech during this period, he finally spoke again: "The tutor you chose is good. I'm planning to give her a raise of 10,000 yuan."

Yu Yousheng's original salary was 40,000 yuan before tax. If he adds another 10,000 yuan, it will become 50,000 yuan before tax, with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan.

Song Jin'an lowered her eyelids and was picking up shrimp from the food for Gu Hetang.

She nodded, indicating that she had no objection. Since the money wasn't coming out of her own pocket, whoever paid for it was the boss.

"My daughter said she wanted to go to the zoo. We're free at work today, so let's go together."

Gu Xijue rarely says such things, and he has always been a successful person who prioritizes work. How could he suddenly say that the three of them are going to the zoo?

Gu Hetang was overjoyed to hear that they were going to the zoo, and kept talking about what Yu Yousheng had taught them about the zoo.

Song Jin'an certainly wouldn't refuse; she would never refuse anything concerning her daughter. So she nodded, indicating that she was going.

But she still gestured with her hands.

—What about the company?
Gu Xijue said calmly, "The company will not go bankrupt or be liquidated without me for even a day."

Song Jin'an: "..."

That makes some sense.

At the zoo, Gu Hetang rode on Gu Xijue's shoulders. The little guy was overjoyed, watching the animals through the glass.

The weather was alright today, not too hot. Song Jin'an was carrying a water bottle and a diaper bag, just in case the child pooped or peed.

Throughout the entire process, Gu Xijue was very patient with his daughter, and Song Jin'an gradually relaxed. She thought to herself that it would be good for her daughter to pretend to be a happy family of three for a day.

Later, Gu Hetang refused to get down from her father's shoulders and started throwing a tantrum. She gestured with her hands, specifically for Gu Xijue to see.

—Don't spoil her too much. She's been riding on you for two hours. She'll get tired.

Gu Xijue glanced at her disdainfully, his voice deep and resonant: "My daughter, I can spoil her."

Song Jin'an was speechless. She felt that this person was sick. A few days ago, when he was arguing with her, he ignored his daughter. But when he was in a better mood, he said that he was spoiling his daughter. Could he be a performative personality?
Although she wanted to complain, she kept it to herself. Otherwise, they would definitely have argued, and she didn't want to argue in front of the children.

After visiting the zoo, it was already 6 PM, time to have dinner.

Just as she was about to ask whether to eat out or eat at a restaurant, Gu Xijue added, "There's an animal-themed restaurant, let's eat there."

This animal-themed restaurant is located not far from Haicheng Zoo. It's a popular spot for children, with a great environment. The walls are covered in animal paintings, and there are often people dressed as animals who come out to entertain the kids.

Gu Hetang was overjoyed and clapped his hands nonstop.

I enjoyed the meal very much, and I was happy all day.

After finishing his meal, Gu Xijue drove home.

When they got off the bus and walked back, Gu Hetang kept wanting Song Jin'an to hold Gu Xijue's hand and go home. She had seen at the animal restaurant that parents had to hold hands to be considered parents.

So she insisted that the two of them hold hands. While Song Jin'an was still hesitating, her hand was taken into her arms by a pair of warm, large hands.

"You've already had the baby, what are you still being coy about?"

Song Jin'an: "..."

Yes, we've already done something as intimate as having a baby, so why does my heart race and my palms get hot when we hold hands?

Gu Hetang was happy and clapped his hands while riding on Gu Xijue's shoulders.

"Mom and Dad, let's hold hands!"

"Mommy loves Daddy, and Daddy loves Mommy!"

And so, the two entered the villa hand in hand. As soon as they arrived, they saw Madam Gu sitting on the sofa. She didn't react much when she saw Gu Hetang riding on Gu Xijue's shoulders, but when she saw the two hands clasped tightly together, her face immediately darkened.

Gu Xijue glared at Song Jin'an, then released his grip on Gu Hetang's shoulder and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, is there something you need?"

Generally speaking, she wouldn't come here unless there was a specific reason.

Song Jin'an gave Lin Ma a wink, and Lin Ma then carried the child upstairs to the children's room.

“I went to the company to look for you, but Wei Zhou said you didn’t come to the company today, so I came here.”

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Song Jin'an, each word sounding as if she were clenching it out from between her teeth: "You're really cunning. I underestimated you!"

Song Jin'an was completely confused and was about to ask why when Madam Gu spoke again.

"Your stepmother and stepsister swindled me out of a hundred million!"

Song Jin'an's heart tightened, but she didn't want to take the blame. Could it be that something had happened to the Song family company?

"Mom, what exactly happened?" Gu Xijue asked, his brow furrowed.

But Madam Gu couldn't say anything. She took a deep breath, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "The Song family is having financial problems. They've agreed to let Song Jin'an get a divorce."
