After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 72 Undercurrent
Yan Jin took a deep breath, put the pregnancy test stick in her pocket, and then opened the door. Mother Xiang looked hypocritically concerned and asked, "Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Jin forced a smile: "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
"That's how pregnant women are, they get tired easily." Xiang's mother suddenly said, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in her tone.
Yan Jin was shocked, but remained calm: "What are you talking about? I..."
"Don't pretend, I knew it a long time ago." Xiang's mother interrupted her and took out a pregnancy test report from her bag, "I asked someone to get this from the hospital. You can't hide your pregnancy from me."
Yan Jin's face changed slightly. She didn't expect Xiang's mother to act so quickly. She suppressed her uneasiness and said calmly, "Even if I'm pregnant, it has nothing to do with you."
"Why is it okay? The baby in your belly is the flesh and blood of our Xiang family!" Xiang's mother's face darkened, "Yan Jin, I advise you to be sensible and listen to my arrangements, otherwise..."
"What else?" Yan Jin met her gaze without fear.
Xiang's mother snorted coldly, turned around and left the office without saying anything.
Watching her leaving, Yan Jin had a bad feeling in her heart. She knew that Xiang's mother would never let it go.
Sure enough, within a few days, rumors about Yan Jin's pregnancy began to circulate in the company. Some said that the child was not Xiang Yu's, but the result of Yan Jin's affair with another man; others said that Yan Jin deliberately got pregnant in order to get the Xiang family's property.
These rumors spread like wildfire, and Yan Jin's situation became very embarrassing. She knew that all this was caused by Xiang's mother, but she had no evidence.
That day, Yan Jin was processing documents in the office when she suddenly received a call from Manager Wu: "Boss Yan, something bad has happened. Mrs. Zhou is here and wants to see you by name!"
Mrs. Zhou is a close friend of Xiang's mother and one of the major shareholders of the company. She is a sarcastic person and has always disliked Yan Jin. She must have had bad intentions when she suddenly visited.
Yan Jin took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "I understand, I'll be down right away."
She came to the reception room, where Mrs. Zhou was sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee elegantly. Seeing Yan Jin coming in, she put down the coffee cup in her hand and raised a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth: "Hey, isn't this our busy Mr. Yan? How come you have time to come and see me?"
"Mrs. Zhou, you're joking. You're a distinguished guest of the company, so of course I have to receive you in person." Yan Jin said calmly, sitting down on the sofa opposite her.
"Okay, stop trying to be so frivolous with me." Mrs. Zhou waved her hand impatiently. "I came here today to ask you about your pregnancy. What's going on?"
Yan Jin's heart trembled, knowing that the real drama was about to begin. She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Zhou calmly: "I think you know whether my pregnancy is true or not. I don't want to explain too much. The innocent will be innocent."
"The innocent are innocent?" Mrs. Zhou laughed as if she had heard a joke, "Yan Jin, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of saying that the innocent are innocent?" She stood up suddenly, pointed at Yan Jin's nose and cursed, "I tell you, if the child in your belly is not recognized by our Xiang family, it will always be an illegitimate child that cannot be seen in public!"
Yan Jin's face turned pale instantly, but she still suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Mrs. Zhou, please speak with respect!"
"Respect? You are a mistress who destroyed other people's families, and you are qualified to talk to me about respect?" Mrs. Zhou was aggressive and pressed on.
"Enough!" Yan Jin could no longer bear it, and stood up abruptly, glaring at Mrs. Zhou, "It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere in the matter between Xiang Yu and me!"
"Whether I am an outsider or not is not up to you to decide!" Mrs. Zhou sneered, "I'm telling you, I'm here today to give you a warning on behalf of the Xiang family. If you know what's good for you, get out of the Xiang Group right away, otherwise..."
Mrs. Zhou came close to her, lowered her voice, and said word by word: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Mrs. Zhou's voice had just fallen, and the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open. Xiang Yu walked in with a sullen face. Seeing the two people on the verge of a fight, his brows frowned even tighter: "What happened?"
When Mrs. Zhou saw Xiang Yu, she immediately put on an aggrieved expression: "Ayu, you are finally here, look at how your good wife treats me!"
Xiang Yu ignored Mrs. Zhou's performance, but looked at Yan Jin and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Yan Jin took a deep breath and briefly recounted what happened. After listening to it, Xiang Yu's face became even uglier. He turned to look at Mrs. Zhou and said in a cold tone: "Mrs. Zhou, this is a matter between us, I hope you don't interfere."
Mrs. Zhou didn't expect Xiang Yu to defend Yan Jin in front of her, and her face suddenly became a little ugly, but she also knew Xiang Yu's temper, so she didn't dare to say anything else and could only leave the reception room angrily.
After Mrs. Zhou left, Xiang Yu walked up to Yan Jin, looked at her pale face, and felt a pain in his heart: "Are you okay?"
Yan Jin shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Xiang Yu knew Yan Jin was trying to comfort him, and he felt even more distressed. He reached out and held her in his arms, saying softly, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Yan Jin leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Although Xiang Yu chose to believe her, the rumors did not subside, but intensified. During Yan Jin's pregnancy, she continued to work, but her body gradually couldn't bear it, and the company's business was also affected to a certain extent.
"Mr. Yan, you have been working for more than ten hours in a row. You should take a break first." Manager Wu looked at Yan Jin's tired expression and couldn't help but persuade him.
Yan Jin rubbed his aching temple and sighed softly: "I'm fine, this document is very important, I have to finish reading it tonight."
"But..." Manager Wu wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Yan Jin.
"Manager Wu, just go and do your thing. Don't worry about me."
Seeing that she insisted, Manager Wu had no choice but to leave the office.
Yan Jin looked at the pile of documents on the table, feeling exhausted and powerless. At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lawyer Qian calling.
"Hello, Lawyer Qian."
"Mr. Yan, I just got the news that Mrs. Xiang has been secretly acquiring company shares recently. You need to pay attention to this." Lawyer Qian said in a serious tone.
Yan Jin's heart trembled, and a bad premonition came to his mind...
Yan Jin held the phone, feeling a chill on her fingertips. Lawyer Qian's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves.
"Mrs. Xiang's intention to acquire shares is obvious. She wants to take this opportunity to control the company's board of directors and exclude you." Lawyer Qian's voice was calm and rational, analyzing the current situation. "Mr. Yan, you must be on guard."
Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "I understand. I will be careful. Thank you, Lawyer Qian."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin rubbed her temples tiredly. The hardship of pregnancy plus the pressure of work made her feel exhausted both physically and mentally. However, Xiang's mother's constant pressure made her feel even more uneasy.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the office door and Manager Wu walked in with a serious expression.
"Boss Yan, I've noticed some suspicious people in the company recently. They seem to know too much about the company's internal situation, and they often talk about you and the company behind your back. I suspect..." Manager Wu paused, with some uncertainty in his tone, "I suspect they are spies sent by Madam Xiang."
Yan Jin's heart was shocked. Sure enough, Xiang's mother had already started. She tried to suppress her inner anxiety and asked calmly, "Are you sure?"
"I'm not entirely sure," Manager Wu frowned, "but I noticed that these people often whisper in the tea room, bathroom and other places, and they intentionally or unintentionally inquire about company secrets. I'm worried that they will be detrimental to the company."
Yan Jin pondered for a moment and said decisively, "You did a good job, Manager Wu. I will handle this matter. Please pay more attention to their movements in the next few days and report to me in time if there is any situation."
"Yes, Mr. Yan." Manager Wu nodded in response.
After Manager Wu left, Yan Jin sat alone in the office. The night outside the window was dark, just like her mood at the moment. Mother Xiang's relentless pressure and the undercurrents within the company made her feel unprecedented pressure.
She knew that she could no longer sit there and wait for death. She had to take the initiative to protect herself and her children and to keep the fruits of her hard work.
She picked up her phone and dialed the familiar number... "Beep... Beep..." The sound of the phone being connected was particularly clear in the silent office. Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound calm and firm: "Xiang Yu, I have something to talk to you about."
Xiang Yu on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised, but he quickly regained his usual calmness, but there was a hint of subtle tenderness in his voice: "Okay, you talk, I'll listen."
Yan Jin briefly told Xiang Yu about Lawyer Qian's reminder and Manager Wu's discovery. Finally, she said in a firm tone: "I have decided to publicly clarify the rumors and expose your mother's conspiracy."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Xiang Yu's voice was filled with a hint of guilt and distress: "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."
"This is not your fault," Yan Jin interrupted him, "Let's face this together."
Hearing Yan Jin's words, Xiang Yu felt a warm current in his heart, and he said solemnly: "Okay, whatever you want to do, I support you."
The two discussed and decided to hold a press conference to publicly clarify the rumors and expose Xiang's mother's conspiracy. However, just as they were about to act, Xiang's mother suddenly announced that she would hold a family meeting to discuss the marriage of Yan Jin and Xiang Yu.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Yan Jin and Xiang Yu feel uneasy. They knew very well that Xiang's mother's move was not well-intentioned, and she must want to use the power of the family to force Yan Jin to submit.
"What does she want to do?" Yan Jin clenched the phone tightly, his knuckles turned white, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Xiang Yu's face was equally gloomy. He said in a deep voice: "I will not let her hurt you and the child."
On the day of the family meeting, the atmosphere in the Xiang family's old house was solemn. The family elders gathered together, and everyone had a serious look on their faces. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked into the hall side by side, and their eyes swept calmly over everyone, and finally fell on Xiang's mother who was sitting in the main seat.
Mother Xiang was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with delicate makeup and a smug smile on her face, as if everything was under her control. She stood up slowly, stared at Yan Jin sharply, and said word by word: "Today, I want to announce something very important..."
Her eyes swept over Yan Jin's slightly bulging belly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Yan Jin, the child in your belly...can't stay!"
Yan Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and a surge of anger rushed to her head. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but was held by a warm big hand beside her. Xiang Yu gave her a soothing look, then looked at Xiang's mother with cold eyes, and said word by word: "I won't let anyone hurt them."
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and a storm was about to come...
Three days later, the courthouse was crowded with reporters with their cameras and cameras, surrounding the entrance. Everyone's eyes were focused on two people walking side by side.
"Boss Yan, are you confident about this divorce case?"
"Boss Xiang, did you really give up Boss Yan and the child for the sake of the family's interests as the rumors say?"
"Boss Yan, what are your plans for the future?"
Facing reporters' questions, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu remained silent and walked straight into the court.
Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Yan Jin and Xiang Yu sat face to face in the plaintiff and defendant seats, with their lawyers standing beside them respectively.
The judge banged the gavel, signaling the start of the trial.
"Plaintiff, please state your claim."
Yan Jin took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and looked at the judge with a firm gaze...
