After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

With clinking glasses and elegant people in fine clothes, this family gathering was more like a carefully planned Hongmen Banquet.

"Jin girl, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but a woman should behave like a woman, supporting her husband and raising her children, being virtuous and kind is the right way." Mother Xiang was dressed elegantly, but her tone was sarcastic and mean, "You, on the other hand, only know how to show off outside all day long, leaving our Yu'er alone in the company. What will outsiders say about him?"

The eyes around were all fixed on Yan Jin like searchlights, with ridicule, contempt, and even a bit of gloating.

Yan Jin gracefully put down the wine glass in her hand. The crisp sound of the crystals colliding drowned out the buzz of whispers around her. She looked at Xiang's mother and raised a polite and distant smile at the corner of her lips: "Aunt, what you said is wrong. Yu and I are legally married, and my career is my freedom. How can I be 'exposed'?"

"You..." Mother Xiang was choked by Yan Jin's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and her face suddenly turned ugly, "You still think you are right? If it weren't for you, how could Yu'er be pointed at by those old guys in the company, saying that he was not doing his job properly and was obsessed with women?"

"That's enough!" Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, with a hint of imperceptible irritation in his tone, but he did not refute his mother's words, and only said lightly, "Mom, you've drunk too much, I'll take you back to rest."

Mother Xiang wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou beside her, who whispered a few words of comfort in her ear.

Xiang Yu's silence was like a sharp thorn that pierced Yan Jin's heart. She thought that after going through the ups and downs, they had formed a tacit understanding that did not require much talk. But now it seems that she was just being sentimental.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, stood up and picked up her handbag, her tone calm without a trace of disturbance: "I have something else to do, I'm leaving first."

"Mr. Yan, I'll take you there." Seeing this, Manager Wu hurriedly followed.

Looking at Yan Jin's resolute back, Xiang Yu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making him a little breathless. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

"Yu'er, what are you still hesitating about?" Mother Xiang looked at her son with a look of disappointment, "Divorce this woman as soon as possible. I'll introduce you to someone who is well-educated and well-mannered..."

"Enough!" Xiang Yu turned back suddenly, his tone was unprecedentedly resolute and cold, "I will handle my marriage myself."

He turned and strode away, leaving Xiang's mother and the guests looking at each other in bewilderment.

On the other side, Yan Jin sat in the car, tears finally falling from the corners of her eyes. She took out her cell phone and dialed a number: "Lawyer Qian, I changed my mind, let's talk about divorce..."

The cold wind, accompanied by drizzle, hit the car window, just like Yan Jin's mood at the moment, icy and piercing. On the other end of the phone, Lawyer Qian calmly and professionally analyzed the situation. He advised Yan Jin: "Mrs. Xiang, you must remember that silence will only make the other party more unscrupulous. We need to collect more evidence to prove your contribution to this marriage and the other party's improper behavior, so that we can take the initiative in the next negotiation."

Yan Jin's fingers tightened slightly while holding the phone, and her knuckles turned bluish white. She took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and said firmly: "I understand, Lawyer Qian, I will follow your instructions."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin leaned back in her chair tiredly, replaying the scenes of tonight's banquet in her mind. Xiang's mother's sarcastic words, the guests' mocking and contemptuous eyes, and Xiang Yu's silence and evasion... All of these were like sharp knives, tearing her remaining dignity and pride to pieces.

No, she couldn't keep swallowing her anger like this! Yan Jin suddenly opened her eyes, with a determined light flashing in them. She wanted to fight for herself, for her rights, and for everything she had given in this marriage!

The next morning, Yan Jin came to the company early. Since getting married, in order to take care of Xiang Yu's emotions and the family's face, she took the initiative to reduce her workload and put more time and energy on the family.

However, her efforts did not earn her the respect and understanding she deserved. In the eyes of the Xiang family, she was just a "gold digger" who clung to the rich and powerful, a "vase" who only knew how to spend money for pleasure.

"Boss Yan, you're here." Manager Wu saw Yan Jin and hurriedly came over with a trace of worry and anxiety on his face, "Are you okay? What happened yesterday..."

"I'm fine." Yan Jin smiled faintly, indicating that she was fine. "How is the company doing recently? Is there anything I need to take care of?"

Manager Wu hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but said: "Boss Yan, I heard..." He lowered his voice, leaned close to Yan Jin's ear, and said in a serious tone, "I heard that Madam Xiang has been asking around about the company recently, and it seems that she wants to..."

Before Manager Wu finished speaking, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, her face changed slightly, and she answered the call with a cold tone: "What's the matter?"

A sharp and piercing voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yan Jin, get back to the old house right now! I have something to ask you!"

Yan Jin's fingers holding the phone suddenly tightened, his knuckles turned bluish white, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "I..."

"What about me? Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?" Xiang's mother's sharp voice came from the other end of the phone, with undisguised harshness and malice, "I'm telling you, Yan Jin, don't think you can do whatever you want after marrying into the Xiang family! You'd better come back here honestly, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Yan Jin interrupted her abruptly, his tone cold, "Madam Xiang, I think I have made it very clear. I am in the company now and I don't have time to waste with you."

"You..." Mother Xiang was so angry at her tough attitude that she was speechless. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, very good! Yan Jin, you are really capable now. You dare to talk to me like this! Don't forget who gave you everything you have now!"

"Everything I have is the result of my own hard work. It has nothing to do with anyone else!" Yan Jin said coldly, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone. "Madam Xiang, I respect you as my elder, so I have always been tolerant of you, but this does not mean that you can trample on my dignity at will! I will say it one last time. I am in the company now and have no time to tangle with you. If you have anything to say, wait until I get off work!"

After saying that, Yan Jin hung up the phone without hesitation, threw the phone on the table, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Ms. Yan, are you okay?" Manager Wu looked at her worriedly, his eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine." Yan Jin shook her head and forced herself to calm down. "Manager Wu, thank you for telling me this. I know what to do now."

She stood up, looked out the window with a determined gaze, and said in a cold tone: "Some things are time to end."

Yan Jin returned to the office and immediately called a meeting of the company's top executives.

"Everyone, I called you here today because I have something to announce." Yan Jin stood in front of the conference table, looking at everyone present, and said in a serious tone, "I received news that someone tried to interfere with the normal operation of the company and spread rumors that are not conducive to the development of the company. I am very disappointed and angry about this."

"Mr. Yan, what do you mean..." a senior executive asked cautiously.

"I believe everyone knows who I'm referring to." Yan Jin said coldly, "I don't want to name names, but I want to tell some people that the company is not a toy in your hands, nor is it a tool for you to satisfy your selfish desires! I will never allow anyone to harm the interests of the company, let alone destroy the company's reputation!"

As soon as Yan Jin finished speaking, there was an uproar in the conference room. Everyone looked at each other, whispering, with surprise and confusion written all over their faces.

"I know everyone has a lot of questions, but please trust me, I will give you an explanation." Yan Jin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Now, please take a look at this document."

She distributed a document to everyone present and said calmly, "This document records in detail how some people used their power to interfere with the company's operations and damage the company's interests. I believe that after reading this document, everyone will understand why I called this meeting today."

There was silence in the conference room. Everyone lowered their heads and carefully looked through the documents in their hands, their faces becoming more and more solemn.

"This……"

"how so……"

"unacceptable……"

The low-pitched discussions sounded again, and this time, the voices were filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

Yan Jin waited quietly, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, a cold arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Now, I'll give you a choice..."

Yan Jin spoke in a steady tone, with a sharp gaze, word by word: "Either you stand on the side of justice and truth, and protect our common company with me; or you choose to remain silent, or even help the tyrant, and eventually suffer the consequences."

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing, and everyone's breathing was clearly audible. The documents in Yan Jin's hand detailed how Xiang's mother used the name of the Xiang family to secretly suppress Yan Jin's company and even tried to poach the company's backbone and hinder the progress of the project.

"I have always believed that family disgrace should not be made public, and I hope to resolve the problem peacefully." Yan Jin's voice was a little tired, "However, what I got in return for tolerance was not understanding and respect, but worse harm. Today, I will make these things public, so that everyone can see clearly who is truly destroying the development of the company and who is truly hurting each of us!"

Yan Jin's words were powerful and echoed in the conference room for a long time. Her eyes were firm and her tone was full of power, which moved everyone present.

Finally, a senior executive stood up first. He looked at Yan Jin and said firmly, "Boss Yan, I believe in you and the facts! I support you!"

With the first one, there was a second one. Soon, more and more senior executives stood up and expressed their support for Yan Jin. They were all the backbone of the company, and they witnessed Yan Jin's efforts and dedication, and also saw Xiang's mother's greed and shamelessness.

This meeting ended with all the senior executives unanimously supporting Yan Jin. Yan Jin looked at the united team in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that she had made the right choice.

Xiang's mother, who was far away at Xiang's house, was so angry that she almost fainted after learning about Yan Jin's actions. She never thought that Yan Jin would dare to resist her and make such a big fuss.

"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Xiang's mother suddenly threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere. "This bitch actually dared to go against me! I will make her pay the price!"

Mrs. Zhou, who was standing by, saw this and hurried forward to comfort her, "Old sister, don't be angry yet. It's not worth it if you get sick from anger. Don't worry, I'll go find someone and teach that ignorant girl a lesson!"

Mother Xiang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I will make her lose her reputation and everything!"

A bigger storm is quietly brewing...
