After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Yan Jin stopped but didn't look back, "Is there anything else, Mr. Xiang?"

Her tone was distant, and her businesslike address was like a thorn that pierced Xiang Yu's heart. He took a deep breath and suppressed his irritation, "Come home for dinner tonight, Mom misses you."

"I have something else to do, so I'm not going back." Yan Jin said in a cold tone, and left the office without looking back.

Looking at Yan Jin's resolute back, Xiang Yu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making him almost unable to breathe. Only then did he realize that the rift between them was much deeper than he had imagined.

In the next few days, the cold war between Xiang Yu and Yan Jin continued to heat up. In the company, they had almost no interaction except for necessary work exchanges. When they returned home, they were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was awkward and depressing.

Mother Xiang saw all of this and was secretly delighted. She had always disliked Yan Jin, thinking that she was too strong and unworthy of her son. Now that she saw the relationship between the two break down, she was naturally happy to see it happen, and even wanted to add fuel to the fire.

At dinner time that day, Xiang Yu returned home and saw that his mother was the only one at the table, so he casually asked, "Mom, where is Yan Jin?"

"She said she had something to do and won't be back for dinner." Mother Xiang said casually as she served soup to Xiang Yu, "These past few days, she's always been out early and back late. I don't know what she's been busy with."

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. Seeing this, Xiang's mother immediately exaggerated and said, "Yu'er, I'm not saying anything bad about her. Look at her since she married into our Xiang family. What has she contributed to this family? She only knows how to work every day and doesn't even care about the family. How can she be a wife at all?"

"Mom, please stop talking." Xiang Yu put down his chopsticks, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "The company already has a lot of things to do, and she also has her own career to take care of, so please stop trying to sow discord between them."

"How did I sow discord? Wasn't what I said true?" Seeing that Xiang Yu didn't believe her, Xiang's mother became excited, "Yu'er, you are too kind and too easy to be deceived by her! This woman is very scheming. Who knew she was out all day..."

Before Xiang's mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by a cold voice, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Yan Jin stood at the door, her face calm, showing no emotion. But the more she acted like this, the more frightened Xiang's mother became. She unconsciously avoided Yan Jin's gaze, her eyes flickering...

Yan Jin's sudden appearance made the atmosphere in the restaurant freeze instantly. Xiang's mother's words seemed to be stuck in her throat, and her face turned red and white. When Xiang Yu saw Yan Jin, he was stunned at first, and then a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know where to start.

"Nothing, just chatting casually." In the end, Xiang Yu could only squeeze out this sentence dryly.

Yan Jin ignored Xiang Yu and walked straight to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, her tone so calm that no emotion could be heard, "Since I'm back, let's eat together."

The dinner was carried out in an eerie silence, and no one brought up the previous topic. But when Xiang's mother looked at Yan Jin, there was a little more resentment and fear in her eyes. She didn't expect Yan Jin to come back suddenly, and she didn't expect that she would hear everything she said clearly.

In fact, Yan Jin did listen to every word of Xiang's mother. That night, she was delayed because of company matters, and it was very late when she returned home. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard Nanny Zhou whispering something in the room. She pushed the door open and saw Nanny Zhou packing up her things, so she asked casually, "Auntie Zhou, what are you talking about?"

When Nanny Zhou saw Yan Jin, she was startled at first, but then she mustered up a lot of courage and told her everything she had just heard. After Yan Jin heard it, although she was angry in her heart, her face did not show any ripples. She knew very well that Nanny Zhou told her these words out of kindness.

"Aunt Zhou, thank you for telling me this. I understand." Yan Jin said calmly, without any emotion in her tone.

Nanny Zhou looked at Yan Jin's calm profile, feeling mixed emotions. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Yan Jin returned to her room, her mind constantly echoing with Nanny Zhou's words and Xiang's mother's sarcastic tone. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She was not a fool, so she naturally understood that Xiang's mother didn't like her, but she didn't expect that Xiang's mother would slander her like this behind her back.

The next day, Yan Jin encountered some problems in the company and needed Xiang Yu's help. She hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to knock on Xiang Yu's office door. However, Xiang Yu ignored her request because of the cold war, and even said something that chilled her heart: "You can handle the company's affairs by yourself, don't bother me."

Yan Jin stared at Xiang Yu blankly, her eyes filled with disappointment and sadness, but she said nothing and turned and left the office.

A few days later, Xiang Yu lost an important business negotiation and was in a very low mood. He sat alone in his office, replaying the aggressive face of the other party at the negotiation table, as well as his ultimate powerlessness and frustration in his mind. At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Yan Jin calling. He looked at the name flashing on the screen of the phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call...

"Xiang Yu, I..."

"Xiang Yu, I..." Yan Jin's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, with a hint of hesitation and concern.

Hearing Yan Jin's voice, Xiang Yu felt mixed emotions. These past few days, he had been deliberately avoiding Yan Jin, trying not to think about her. But when her voice really reached his ears, he found that he couldn't remain indifferent.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiang Yu's voice was cold and distant, trying hard to hide the turmoil in his heart.

"I heard from Aunt Zhou that you encountered some problems in your recent project. Are you okay?" Yan Jin ignored Xiang Yu's indifference and continued to ask.

Xiang Yu's heart tightened, and his fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously. He knew that Yan Jin was concerned about him, but he couldn't accept this concern calmly.

"I will handle the company's affairs myself. You don't have to worry about it." Xiang Yu said coldly and hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Yan Jin felt as if her heart was pricked by a needle, and it hurt slightly. She knew that Xiang Yu was still angry with her, but she really didn't want to see him depressed like this.

Putting down the phone, Yan Jin's eyes fell on a document on the desk. It was specially prepared for Xiang Yu, which analyzed in detail the reasons for the failure of the business negotiation and proposed several feasible solutions. She originally wanted to wait until Xiang Yu calmed down before giving it to him, but now it seems that she can't wait any longer.

Yan Jin picked up the documents, stood up and left the office. She drove to Xiang Group, but was stopped by the secretary at the door of the president's office.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yan, Mr. Xiang is not seeing guests right now." The secretary said politely.

"I have something very important to discuss with him. Please let him know." Yan Jin said earnestly.

The secretary hesitated for a moment, but finally dialed Xiang Yu's office number.

"Mr. Xiang, Miss Yan is here. She said she has something important to discuss with you."

"No!" Xiang Yu's voice was cold and resolute.

The secretary hung up the phone and looked at Yan Jin apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Yan, Mr. Xiang said..."

Before the secretary could finish her words, Yan Jin pushed her aside and walked straight into the office.

"Xiang Yu, we..."

Before Yan Jin could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiang Yu's cold eyes. He sat at his desk with a gloomy face and no warmth in his eyes.

"Get out!" Xiang Yu spat out a word coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the grievance and anger in her heart, and put the documents in her hand on Xiang Yu's desk.

"This is what I prepared for you. I hope it will be helpful to you."

After saying that, Yan Jin turned around and left the office without any reluctance.

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He picked up the document on the table, flipped through it, and frowned slightly. He knew that Yan Jin was doing this for his own good, but he...

The door of the office was pushed open again, and Xiang's mother walked in. Seeing the documents in Xiang Yu's hand, her face suddenly darkened. Xiang's mother looked at Yan Jin's back as she left, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. In the past few days, she had been whispering in Xiang Yu's ear, saying how cold-blooded Yan Jin was, how he used the Xiang family, and how he wanted to completely break them up.

"Yu'er, look at her. She is a cold-blooded animal. She doesn't care about you at all!" Mother Xiang pointed at the documents on the table and said sarcastically, "She came to you just to put on a show for others to see and maintain her own high-ranking image!"

Xiang Yu didn't say anything, but just tightly grasped the documents in his hand, his knuckles turning white. He knew his mother didn't like Yan Jin, but he didn't expect her to slander her like this.

"Mom, that's enough." Xiang Yu's voice was low and hoarse, "We will handle the matter between Yan Jin and I ourselves."

"Deal with it? How are you going to deal with it? Remarry her?" Xiang's mother suddenly became agitated. "I'm telling you, Xiang Yu, as long as I'm alive, don't even think about renewing your relationship with her!"

Xiang Yu rubbed his brows and said in a tired tone: "Mom, Yan Jin and I are divorced. There is no possibility between us."

"Impossible? Humph, I don't think so!" Xiang's mother snorted coldly, with a gleam in her eyes, "This weekend, I will invite relatives and friends to dinner at home, you must invite Yan Jin as well!"

Xiang Yu's heart trembled. He knew what his mother was planning. She was going to completely expose Yan Jin's "true face" in front of everyone and make her lose face!

"Mom, what do you want to do?" Xiang Yu's tone contained a hint of suppressed anger.

"What do I want to do? I just want you to see clearly what kind of woman she is!" Xiang's mother's tone was aggressive, "Don't forget who helped you when you were in the most difficult time, and who accompanied you when you needed it most!"

Xiang Yu was silent. He knew that what his mother said was true. If Yan Jin had not helped him, the Xiang Group would have gone bankrupt long ago, and he would have been left with nothing.

"Yu'er, listen to your mother and cut off all ties with her. She is not worthy of you doing this." Xiang's mother walked to Xiang Yu and gently stroked his hair, her tone gentle and loving.

On the other hand, after Yan Jin left Xiang Group, she did not go home directly, but went to Nanny Zhou. Nanny Zhou watched Xiang Yu grow up, and was very kind to Yan Jin, always treating her as her own daughter.

"Aunt Zhou, how is Xiang Yu doing recently?" Yan Jin asked with concern.

Nanny Zhou sighed and said helplessly: "The young master has been locking himself in his room these past few days. He refuses to see anyone and refuses to eat. I feel so sad when I see him."

Yan Jin's heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, and it hurt. She knew Xiang Yu was still angry with her, but she really didn't want to see him depressed like this.

"Auntie Zhou, don't worry, I will find a way." Yan Jin held Nanny Zhou's hand and said in a firm tone.

Nanny Zhou hesitated to speak, but in the end she said nothing. She knew that the matter between Yan Jin and Xiang Yu was not something she, an outsider, could interfere with.

After leaving Nanny Zhou, Yan Jin felt even more depressed. She knew that the problem between her and Xiang Yu could not be solved overnight.

Just then, Yan Jin's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Yan Jin, this is Madam Xiang." The cold voice of Xiang's mother came from the other end of the phone, "I hope you can come to my house this weekend. I have something to tell you."

Yan Jin's heart trembled. She knew what Xiang's mother was going to say and what it meant.

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's mouth curled up into a cold smile. She wanted to see what tricks Xiang's mother was going to play!
