After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Yan Jin put down the coffee cup in her hand. Although Xiang Mei's apology was within her expectations, it did give her a glimmer of hope. Change is not something that can be achieved overnight, but as long as you are willing to start, you can always see the trajectory of change.

Xiang Mei did not go home directly after leaving the cafe. She walked aimlessly on the street, Yan Jin's words echoing in her mind.

"Forgiveness is not an easy thing, especially when you are hurt by someone close to you. I need time, and I need to see your changes."

Xiang Mei knew that her previous behavior had deeply hurt Yan Jin. She had always relied on her brother's favor to ridicule Yan Jin and even joined forces with her friends to exclude her. Looking back now, Xiang Mei only felt that she was extremely stupid at the time.

"I must change and get my sister-in-law's forgiveness!" Xiang Mei clenched her fists, her eyes determined.

From that day on, Xiang Mei began to actively participate in various public welfare activities. She went to the nursing home to take care of the elderly, went to the welfare home to accompany orphans, and joined the environmental protection organization, participating in activities such as tree planting and garbage sorting. She hoped to make up for her past mistakes by helping others.

Xiang Mei's transformation surprised everyone around her. The former willful and capricious young lady seemed to have grown up overnight.

"Little sister, you have really changed a lot." Xiang's friend Wu said with emotion as he looked at Xiang who was carefully sorting the donated clothes, "You used to hate doing these things the most."

Xiang Mei smiled and said, "I was ignorant before, but now I understand that helping others, making myself happy, and making my family happy is more important than anything else."

Wu looked at Xiang Mei's sincere eyes and felt relieved. She knew that Xiang Mei really wanted to change herself this time.

"If you need any help, just ask." Wu patted Xiang Mei's shoulder, "Let's work together to do more meaningful things."

Xiang Mei nodded, her eyes full of gratitude and hope.

In the following days, Xiang Mei and her friend Wu planned more charity activities. They went into the community and the mountainous areas to pass on love and warmth to everyone in need. And Xiang Mei also found her true self and value through actions again and again.

On this day, Xiang Mei and her friend Wu came to the other side of the city, preparing to donate school supplies to a rural primary school there.

"Xiao Wu, look over there, it seems like there is a child crying." Xiang Mei said, pointing to a thin figure not far away.

Wu looked in the direction of Xiang Mei's finger, and sure enough, he saw a ragged little girl squatting in the corner, sobbing softly...

Xiang Mei and Wu Yupeng quickly stepped forward and asked the little girl about her situation. It turned out that the little girl's name was Xiaofang, and because her family was too poor and her parents could not afford to support her to continue her schooling, she was about to drop out of school.

"I really want to study, but..." Xiaofang said as tears fell again.

Xiang Mei looked at the girl of the same age as herself, and felt pity for her. She remembered her own willfulness and extravagance, and then looked at Xiaofang's eagerness for knowledge but inability to do anything, and she secretly made up her mind to help this child.

"Xiaofang, don't worry, we will help you." Xiang Mei patted Xiaofang's shoulder gently and said in a firm tone.

After returning to the city, Xiang Mei immediately contacted the local education department, learned about Xiaofang's family situation, and decided to sponsor Xiaofang to complete her studies in her own name. Not only that, she also mobilized her friends to donate money to improve Xiaofang's family's living conditions.

Xiang Mei's good deeds quickly attracted the attention of local media, and reporters came to interview and report. For a time, the news that Xiang's daughter was enthusiastic about charity and funded poor girls to complete their studies spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Sitting in the spacious and bright office, Yan Jin browsed the news reports on the web. In the photo, Xiang Mei, wearing simple volunteer clothes and with a bright smile on her face, was playing with a group of children.

"This girl has really changed..." Yan Jin put down her phone, and the image of Xiang Mei's former willful and capricious appearance emerged in her mind, forming a sharp contrast with her current image of being enthusiastic about public welfare. Deep in her heart, a ripple began to appear.

On the other hand, Xiang Mei's good deeds also gradually made her well-known in the charity circle. Many charities have extended olive branches to her and invited her to participate in various charity activities.

On this day, Xiang Mei received a special invitation letter, inviting her to attend a grand charity dinner. Looking at the golden cursive letters on the invitation letter, an idea suddenly emerged in Xiang Mei's mind:

"Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to prove my change to my sister-in-law..."

The invitation to the charity dinner lay quietly on the table. Xiang Mei's fingers gently stroked the gold-plated words, feeling uneasy. She mustered up her courage and called Yan Jin.

"Sister-in-law, there is a charity dinner this Saturday, and I would like to invite you to attend." Xiang Mei's voice was cautious, fearing that she would be rejected.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Yan Jin's voice came faintly, "What kind of dinner is this?"

Sister Xiang quickly explained, "It's a charity dinner focusing on rural education. I've been participating in their charity projects recently. This dinner is mainly to raise funds for children in the mountainous areas."

Yan Jin did not agree immediately. She thought of Xiang Mei's previous willful behavior and had some doubts in her heart. But she changed her mind and thought that if Xiang Mei really changed, she should give her a chance.

"I understand. Please send me the time and place." Yan Jin finally agreed.

Hearing that Yan Jin agreed to attend, Xiang Mei was ecstatic. She immediately sent the detailed information of the dinner and repeatedly assured that it would be properly arranged.

On Saturday night, Xiang Mei arrived at the dinner early. She was wearing a simple dress, with her long hair tied up and light makeup, and she looked elegant and decent.

Not long after, Yan Jin also arrived at the venue. She was wearing a black evening dress, which set off her noble and cold temperament. As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

"Sister-in-law, you're here!" Xiang Mei hurriedly stepped forward with a bit of nervousness and anticipation on her face.

Yan Jin nodded slightly, his eyes lingered on Xiang Mei for a moment, and said lightly: "Well, has it started?"

"Not yet. Let's go to the lounge and wait for a while." Xiang Mei led Yan Jin to the lounge and poured her a glass of champagne.

"Sister-in-law, please try this. It's their specialty drink." Xiang Mei tried hard to find a topic to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two.

Yan Jin took the champagne and took a sip, but said nothing. She observed Xiang Mei calmly, trying to find clues from her words and actions.

"Sister-in-law, actually... I invited you here this time because I wanted you to see the changes I have made during this period of time." Xiang Mei took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to speak her mind.

Yan Jin put down the champagne in his hand and looked at her calmly, "Oh? What changed?"

Xiang Mei recounted her experience of participating in charity activities during this period. From her initial passive participation to her later active involvement, from her initial confusion to her current firm belief, she showed Yan Jin her own mental journey without reservation.

Yan Jin listened quietly without interrupting, but a hint of admiration gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I was ignorant before and did a lot of wrong things, which made you and my brother worry..." Xiang Mei's eyes were slightly red, "But now I really want to change, I want to be a useful person to society, and I also want to get your recognition."

Yan Jin looked at the sincerely repentant girl in front of him, and the ice in his heart seemed to begin to melt slowly.

At this moment, Xiang Mei's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, her face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the phone couldn't help shaking slightly.

"Hello... OK... I got it, I'll be there right away..." Sister Xiang hung up the phone in a panic, her face pale, the champagne glass in her hand trembling slightly, a few drops of wine spilled on her elegant dress, like a few drops of blood. Yan Jin keenly noticed her abnormality, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Mei took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but her voice was still trembling: "Nothing... nothing, a friend suddenly fell ill, and I have to go see her."

Yan Jin didn't completely believe her words, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded calmly: "Do you need my help?"

"No need, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be back as soon as I finish my work." Xiang Mei forced a smile, but she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

She hurriedly said goodbye to Yan Jin, turned around and ran out of the lounge. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground echoed in the empty corridor, as if knocking on Yan Jin's heart. She looked at Xiang Mei's flustered back, and the doubt in her heart rose again, always feeling that something was beyond her control.

After the dinner officially started, Xiang Mei had not returned. Yan Jin listened absentmindedly to the speeches of the guests on the stage, but his eyes occasionally glanced towards the door, expecting that familiar figure to appear.

At this time, a girl in a white dress walked up to Yan Jin. She had bright eyes, white teeth and a sweet smile. She was Xiang Mei's friend, Wu Pengyou, whom she had met several times at charity events before.

"Hello, Mr. Yan, I am my friend, my name is Wu Xiao." Wu Xiao greeted Yan Jin generously.

Yan Jin nodded slightly and responded politely: "Hello."

"My younger sister asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. She has some urgent matters to deal with and may not be able to make it back to be with you." Wu Xiao explained.

"What's the matter? Is it urgent?" Yan Jin asked with concern.

"This..." Wu Xiao hesitated, as if considering how to start.

"It's okay, just say it directly." Yan Jin encouraged.

Wu Xiao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "I previously sponsored a child with congenital heart disease, who had been receiving treatment, but his condition suddenly worsened recently. When I received a call from the hospital, I rushed over immediately."

Yan Jin was shocked when she heard this. The scene of Xiang Mei interacting with children at a charity event before appeared in her mind. Her eyes were full of tenderness and love, without any trace of her former arrogance and domineering. It turned out that she really changed...

"Where is the hospital address? I'll go there now." Yan Jin said in a firm tone.
