After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 49: Old Moonlight
After K left, Xiang Yu's heart was like being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it impossible for him to breathe. Yan Jin's words seemed to come through layers of fog, he could only hear but could not understand. The woman in the photo, the woman named Su Yue, was like a midnight nightmare, descending into his reality again.
Three days later, the annual meeting of Xiang Group was held as scheduled. In the grand banquet hall, there were elegant people, clinking glasses, and everyone had a hypocritical smile on their face. However, in Xiang Yu's eyes, all this lost its color. His eyes always stayed at the entrance of the banquet hall, as if waiting for something.
"President, what's wrong with you?" Assistant Zhao Cheng asked worriedly. He hadn't seen Xiang Yu lose his composure like this for a long time.
Xiang Yu did not answer, but just waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, a spotlight hit the entrance, and a woman in a red dress walked slowly in.
The woman had long, shiny black hair, skin as white as cream, and delicate facial features without any flaws, especially her eyes, which were as bright as stars, yet with a hint of sadness, making people want to hold her in their arms and take good care of her.
Xiang Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing became rapid. It was her! It was really her! Su Yue, his first love, the woman he thought he would never see again in this life, appeared in front of him without any warning.
"Everyone, please allow me to introduce this to you. This is..."
Xiang Yu forgot the host's enthusiastic introduction. In his eyes, there was only Su Yue, the woman he had loved and hated. Su Yue's eyes swept through the crowd and finally fell on Xiang Yu. When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.
Yan Jin sat next to Xiang Yu and naturally noticed his strangeness. She followed Xiang Yu's gaze and saw the dazzling woman who was as bright as the sun. Yan Jin's heart trembled slightly, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart.
However, after years of ups and downs in the business world, she has already mastered the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity. She gently held Xiang Yu's hand, with a faint smile on her lips: "Ayu, let's go over and say hello."
Xiang Yu came back to his senses and looked at his elegant and calm wife beside him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He nodded, took Yan Jin's hand, and walked towards Su Yue.
"Long time no see, Ayu." Su Yue's voice was like the sound of nature, carrying a hint of joy of reunion after a long separation, but also hiding a hint of imperceptible bitterness.
Xiang Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. After trying so hard to come up with a plan, he finally uttered a dry, "Long time no see."
"Who is this?" Su Yue's gaze fell on Yan Jin, and a subtle complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
"This is my wife, Yan Jin." Xiang Yu introduced, with a hint of stiffness in his tone that he himself was not aware of.
"Hello, I'm Su Yue." Su Yue extended her hand towards Yan Jin with a decent smile on her face.
Yan Jin generously extended her hand and shook Su Yue's hand gently: "Hello, I'm Yan Jin."
After a simple greeting, the atmosphere became a little subtle. Su Yue stood beside Xiang Yu intentionally or unintentionally, as if announcing something.
"Ayu, do you still remember the cafe we used to go to? Their tiramisu is still as delicious as before." Su Yue suddenly spoke with a hint of nostalgia in her tone.
Xiang Yu's mind instantly flashed back to every bit of his time with Su Yue. Those sweet memories flashed before his eyes like movie scenes... Xiang Yu was in a trance for a moment. Those youthful years spent with Su Yue, those sweet memories, flashed before his mind like movie clips. Su Yue's words were like a sharp knife, silently cutting open the long-sealed corner of his heart.
Yan Jin observed Xiang Yu's expression changes calmly. She took a sip of red wine, with a decent smile still on her lips, as if she heard nothing.
"That cafe was demolished a few years ago." Yan Jin said calmly, without any emotion in her tone. "However, there is a new 'Mi Tang' opened in the city center. I heard that the pastry chef there graduated from Le Cordon Bleu. If we have a chance, we can go and try it together."
Su Yue's smile froze slightly. She didn't expect Yan Jin to be so calm. The words that were intended to provoke her jealousy were like hitting cotton and did not cause any waves.
"Really? That's such a pity. I was thinking about having a chance to go to that cafe again and relive the good old days." Su Yue said with pretended regret, but her eyes swept over Xiang Yu intentionally or unintentionally with a hint of provocation.
Xiang Yu's face turned a little ugly. He didn't know how to respond and could only smile awkwardly.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment. At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over. He was one of the shareholders of Xiang Group, Mr. Guo.
"Mr. Xiang, long time no see. You are getting younger and more promising." Mr. Guo shook hands with Xiang Yu enthusiastically. After a few pleasantries, his eyes fell on Su Yue. "Who is this lady?"
"This is Miss Su Yue, my...old friend." Xiang Yu introduced with a hint of unnaturalness in his tone.
"Ms. Su, nice to meet you." Mr. Guo shook hands with Su Yue enthusiastically. "Ms. Su has an extraordinary temperament. I guess she is not an ordinary person, right?"
"No, no, Mr. Guo, thank you for your praise." Su Yue smiled modestly, "I just came back from abroad and now work in an art gallery."
"Oh? Art gallery?" Mr. Guo became interested. "That's an elegant place. If there's a chance, could you please invite Miss Su to my gallery to give me some pointers?"
"Mr. Guo, you're too polite. I'd be happy to help if there's a chance," Su Yue responded gracefully.
Several people chatted for a while in a corner of the banquet hall. Yan Jin always maintained a decent smile, neither humble nor arrogant, and was generous. Although Su Yue pretended to be indifferent on the surface, the occasional smugness and provocation in her eyes could not escape Yan Jin's eyes.
After the banquet, Xiang Yu sent Yan Jin back home. Along the way, the two remained silent.
"Go to bed early." Yan Jin said lightly, opened the car door and prepared to get out.
"Yan Jin..." Xiang Yu suddenly called her.
Yan Jin stopped, turned around, and looked at him quietly.
"I..." Xiang Yu wanted to explain something, but didn't know where to start.
Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu quietly, the moonlight falling on her face, as if coated with a layer of cold light. She knew what he wanted to say, and she also knew that his heart was not at peace at the moment.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest." Yan Jin finally broke the silence, without any emotion in his tone.
Xiang Yu looked at her back as she turned and left, feeling mixed emotions. Su Yue's appearance was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, disrupting his peaceful life. He originally thought that the love of his youth had faded away with the passage of time, but he didn't expect that when he saw Su Yue again, his heart would still be rippled.
After returning to the company, Xiang Yu locked himself in his office. When Assistant Zhao brought him coffee, he saw that he had a frown on his face and looked very worried.
"Mr. Xiang, are you worried about something?" Assistant Zhao asked cautiously.
Xiang Yu rubbed his brows and said, "Nothing, there are a lot of things going on in the company recently."
Assistant Zhao knew that he didn't want to say more, so he tactfully didn't ask any more questions. But he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Su Yue's appearance was too sudden, and the way she looked at Mr. Xiang was full of possessiveness, which made him have to be vigilant.
A few days later, Assistant Zhao placed an investigation report on Xiang Yu's desk. "Mr. Xiang, I found out something about Miss Su."
Xiang Yu took the report, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly became gloomy. The report showed that after Su Yue returned to China, she had frequent contact with Lu Tianhua, the president of the Xiang Group's competitor, the Lu Group, and the two seemed to be plotting something.
"It seems that she came back this time not just to reminisce about the past." Xiang Yu snorted coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
At the same time, Yan Jin also received a call from Sun's best friend. "Jin Jin, have you heard? It's being said in the company that you used some tricks to force Mr. Xiang to marry you, and now his first love is back, you will be kicked out soon!"
Yan Jin's fingers tightened slightly while holding the phone, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Really? Then I really underestimated her..."
Yan Jin hung up the phone, and her bestie Sun's words echoed in her ears. Over the years, she had worked diligently in the company and never relied on Xiang Yu's connections. Now she was accused of a false charge, which made her angry. "Want to drive me away? Then let's see who is the final winner!" Yan Jin's eyes flashed with a sharpness, she picked up the phone and dialed a number.
At the same time, rumors about Yan Jin spread more and more fiercely within the Xiang Group. "I heard that President Yan used a lot of tricks to marry President Xiang!" "That's right, I heard that she even threatened President Xiang with family interests. What a scheming woman!" "Oh, I really don't know what President Xiang was thinking back then, to marry such a woman!"
These rumors, like a virus, spread rapidly in the company, and many employees who did not know the truth were misled and began to point fingers at Yan Jin. Even some of the company's top executives began to doubt Yan Jin.
The atmosphere at the company's shareholders meeting was extremely solemn.
"Boss Yan, do you have anything to say about the recent rumors in the company?" Shareholder Guo stared at Yan Jin sharply, with a hint of questioning in his tone.
Yan Jin looked around, and everyone looked at her with strange eyes, as if she was an unforgivable sinner. She took a deep breath, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"I think I need to show everyone something." Yan Jin said, turning on the projector.
Photos appeared on the screen, and the protagonists in the photos were Su Yue and Lu Tianhua. They were eating in a high-end restaurant, chatting in a cafe, and there were even some more intimate photos...
"These photos are enough to explain everything, right?" Yan Jin looked at everyone coldly, "As for those rumors, I think everyone knows what's going on."
There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes. They didn't expect that the truth of the matter was actually like this...
Yan Jin ignored everyone's reactions and walked straight to Assistant Zhao, "Come with me."
Assistant Zhao was stunned for a moment, then followed Yan Jin out of the meeting room...
