After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 35: Still owe a formal explanation
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the French windows, dyeing Yan Jin's office golden. Her slender fingers gently stroked the provocative text message on the phone screen, and her eyes gradually became sharp. Hongmen Banquet? Lin Chuchu, what do you want to do?
Yan Jin exhaled lightly and called her assistant, "Help me get ready. I have a date at the Regent Hotel tonight."
As night falls and the lights come on, the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Regent Hotel overlooks the beautiful night view of the entire city.
Lin Chuchu was wearing a red dress and flaming red lips, showing her charm. She sat gracefully at the table, looking at Yan Jin who had come late, with a smug smile on her face, "Boss Yan, I thought you didn't dare to come."
Yan Jin casually placed the white handbag in her hand on the table and smiled calmly, "How dare I not come when Miss Lin invites me? I just don't know why Miss Lin specially invited me here?"
Lin Chuchu gently shook the red wine glass in her hand, her eyes moving, "Nothing, I just want to reminisce with Mr. Yan. After all, Ayu and I can be considered childhood sweethearts, and we have grown up together."
"Oh?" Yan Jin raised an eyebrow with a hint of amusement on her lips, "So, I have to thank Miss Lin for taking care of A Yu over the years?"
"It's not like I'm taking care of you," Lin Chuchu chuckled, "It's just that I think it's better to say some things in person, so that some people won't take it for granted."
She put down her wine glass, looked directly at Yan Jin, and said word by word, "Yan Jin, I know that you married A Yu just for business purposes. You don't love him at all, right?"
Yan Jin did not answer, but just watched her performance quietly, her eyes were so deep that it was impossible to see through her thoughts.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Chuchu thought that she had hit her sore spot and became even more proud, "Why? Did I get it right? Yan Jin, I advise you to be sensible and leave A Yu as soon as possible. He doesn't belong to you!"
"Oh? Really?" Yan Jin finally spoke. She smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "Ms. Lin seems to know Xiang Yu very well. I wonder who you are to dictate my marriage?"
"You!" Lin Chuchu was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment.
At this time, the door of the box was pushed open, and a waiter came in with a dining cart and began to serve the dishes. Exquisite dishes were placed on the table one by one, and the aroma was fragrant, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
Lin Chuchu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and smiled again, "Boss Yan, let's eat and talk at the same time."
She picked up the knife and fork, elegantly cut off a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly, as if she had completely forgotten the unpleasantness just now.
Yan Jin calmly picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and swept his eyes over everyone present, finally landing on a corner behind Lin Chuchu... In the restaurant, the melodious piano sound flowed slowly, reflecting the bright lights outside the window, making the atmosphere even more subtle and tense.
Facing Lin Chuchu's aggressive momentum, Yan Jin always maintained an elegant posture. She put down the wine glass, gently turned the diamond ring in her hand, and raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, "Miss Lin, you are really joking. Whether I love Xiang Yu or not seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
Lin Chuchu's face froze. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but Yan Jin took the lead and said, "Besides, we can handle the matter between Xiang Yu and me ourselves, so there is no need for Miss Lin to worry about it."
As she spoke, her eyes swept across the others present, her tone calm but with unquestionable majesty, "You are all business elites, you should understand one thing, that is - don't interfere in other people's family affairs."
Yan Jin's words were so powerful that everyone present felt oppressed. They all lowered their heads and dared not look at him.
"Sister is right, let's eat." Xiang Yu's sister, Xiang Lin, had been sitting on the side watching coldly. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she smiled to smooth things over, but that smile contained a hint of gloating.
She picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Yan Jin, "Sister, I toast you. I wish you and brother a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
These words seemed like a blessing, but actually contained hidden meanings. Everyone present was a shrewd person, so they could naturally hear the sarcasm in her words.
However, Yan Jin seemed to have not heard the hidden meaning of her words at all. He just smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and put it down, "Thank you."
Her reaction surprised Xiang Lin a little, but she quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes and continued, "Sister, you and brother have been married for a while, why is there no movement? Is it..."
"Xiang Lin!" Father Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted her and said sternly, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. Eat!"
After being yelled at by his father, Xiang Lin dared not do anything wrong again and could only shut his mouth in disappointment.
Yan Jin seemed to be completely unaffected, still eating elegantly, occasionally chatting with Yan's father beside him, completely ignoring the presence of Xiang Lin and Lin Chuchu.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was still depressing and weird. At this moment, Yan Jin's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the suffocating silence.
She picked up the phone and took a look. It was Butler Li calling.
"Hello, Butler Li, what's going on?"
"Madam, where are you now? The master..." Butler Li's voice sounded a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" Yan Jin's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Sir, he...he..." Butler Li hesitated, as if he had something to hide.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Yan Jin's tone was filled with anxiety.
"Sir, he... he seems to know that you have an appointment tonight, and he is..." Before Butler Li finished his words, there was a noisy sound from the other end of the phone, followed by a busy tone.
Yan Jin's face turned pale instantly. She stood up abruptly, grabbed her handbag and walked out.
"Yan Jin, where are you going?" Lin Chuchu asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Where I go is none of your business!" Yan Jin left the restaurant without looking back, leaving Lin Chuchu and Xiang Lin looking at each other.
"She...why did she leave?" Xiang Lin was a little surprised.
"Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch..." Lin Chuchu's lips curled up into a cold smile, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes... Yan Jin hurriedly walked out of the restaurant, her high heels tapping the ground, each tap seemed to hit her heart. Butler Li's words echoed in her ears. Did Xiang Yu know? What did he know? How is he now? All kinds of speculations rolled in her mind, almost drowning her.
She hailed a taxi and gave the address of the Xiang family's villa, extremely anxious.
At this time, Xiang Yu's appearance in the restaurant broke the original calm. His face was gloomy, and his eyes swept across everyone present, finally landing on Lin Chuchu, with a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come, "Lin Chuchu, what on earth do you want to do?"
Lin Chuchu was intimidated by his momentum, but soon regained her composure and said in a wronged tone: "Ayu, I just want to treat Miss Yan to a meal, why are you so fierce?"
"Eat?" Xiang Yu sneered, his eyes falling on the bottle of red wine on the table that had hardly been touched. "It's really generous of Miss Lin to use this old Romanee-Conti to entertain my wife."
The sarcasm in his tone was not concealed at all, making Lin Chuchu's face turn pale and blue.
"Ayu, you misunderstood, I just..."
"That's enough!" Xiang Yu interrupted her impatiently, his tone firm and resolute, "Lin Chuchu, I warn you, don't try to challenge my bottom line again. It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs between Yan Jin and me!"
As he spoke, he looked towards the door with deep affection. There, Yan Jin's aura seemed to still linger. "I love her. This is a fact that no one can change."
Xiang Yu's announcement was like a bombshell, exploding in the restaurant. Xiang Lin's eyes widened in disbelief, while Lin Chuchu's face turned pale and she was about to collapse.
"No, it's impossible, you clearly..." Lin Chuchu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiang Yu's cold eyes.
"That's all I have to say. You can take care of yourself." After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the restaurant, leaving behind only a resolute back.
Lin Chuchu looked at his departing back, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, her nails dug deep into her palms, blood slowly flowed down her fingers... Xiang Yu, who was far away, didn't know all this. He was driving to where Yan Jin was, with only one thought in his mind: find her and protect her. The taxi stopped in front of the Xiang family villa, and Yan Jin almost rushed out of the car. She rushed into the living room desperately, but saw Xiang Yu sitting alone on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, with a complicated expression. Seeing her come back, he stood up suddenly, took two steps at a time and walked to her, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Did Lin Chuchu do anything to you?" Xiang Yu's voice was full of worry and self-blame.
Yan Jin shook her head and gently pushed him away, her eyes firm, "I'm fine. But you, why did you say that? Do you know that if you do this, you will..."
"I know." Xiang Yu interrupted her, his deep eyes locked tightly on hers, "I know that doing this will embarrass you and put you in the whirlpool of public opinion, but I can't stand others slandering you like that, and I can't stand losing you."
Yan Jin's heart trembled suddenly. She had never seen Xiang Yu like this, so honest, so vulnerable.
"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu held her hand and said solemnly, "I know I ignored your feelings in the past and made you suffer a lot. But from now on, I will spend the rest of my life to make it up to you, believe me, okay?"
Yan Jin looked at the man in front of her, and the alienation and indifference she had felt before seemed to have disappeared, replaced by deep love and sincerity. She knew that this Hongmen Banquet was not only a test of her by Lin Chuchu, but also a touchstone of her and Xiang Yu's relationship.
"I believe you." Yan Jin finally spoke. Although his voice was soft, it was extremely firm.
Xiang Yu was overjoyed and held her in his arms again, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. He knew that they still had a long way to go, and Lin Chuchu's provocation was just the beginning, but as long as they loved and trusted each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.
"Ayu, Yan Jin, you guys..." Xiang Lin, who had been standing at the stairs, covered her mouth in surprise when she saw this scene, tears flashing in her eyes, "You guys..."
Yan Jin and Xiang Yu smiled at each other, holding hands tightly, and everything was said without words.
"It seems that we still owe you a formal explanation." Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Lin, with a happy smile on his face. Yan Jin, on the other hand, held his arm and looked into the distance with a gentle gaze, where they seemed to have seen their happy future...
