After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The old house of the Xiang family was now brightly lit, with elegant people in fine clothes, guests chatting and laughing, toasting each other, creating a lively scene.

However, beneath this gorgeous appearance, there are hidden undercurrents.

This family dinner carefully planned by Xiang's mother was ostensibly to celebrate Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's wedding, but in reality it was a show of power from Xiang's mother to Yan Jin.

"Jin'er, I heard that you have been abroad before, and you may not be familiar with the social etiquette in China. The people coming here tonight are all well-known figures in City A, so you have to behave well." Xiang's mother acted like an elder, but there was an unspeakable sarcasm in her tone.

Yan Jin smiled calmly, "Thank you for the reminder, Mom. I will pay attention to it."

After the dinner started, Xiang's mother began to quietly "set a trap" for Yan Jin.

She first arranged for Yan Jin to entertain several ladies who were knowledgeable about red wine, hoping to embarrass her in front of everyone.

"Mr. Yan, I heard that you are very knowledgeable about red wine. Why don't you taste this 82 Lafite?" A noble lady handed Yan Jin a glass of red wine with a smile, but there was a cunning gleam in her eyes.

Yan Jin took the wine glass, shook it gracefully a few times, took a sip, and accurately described the year, origin, taste characteristics, and even the history of the winery. The ladies were stunned and amazed.

"Boss Yan is truly knowledgeable and talented. We old guys are really ashamed of ourselves."

"Yes, yes. It seems that we have been drinking red wine for nothing all these years."

The ladies originally wanted to laugh at Yan Jin, but they didn't expect that she would outwit them. They all felt a little embarrassed.

When Xiang's mother saw this, she was secretly angry, but she couldn't show it, so she had to think of another way.

Next, she arranged a series of difficult social etiquette activities, such as tea ceremony performances, guqin performances, etc., trying every possible way to embarrass Yan Jin.

However, relying on her many years of business experience and excellent adaptability, Yan Jin resolved these problems one by one, showing an elegant and decent demeanor in front of everyone, and won a lot of praise.

"This Yan Jin is really not a simple person."

"Yes, I originally thought she was just a pretty face, but I didn't expect she is so talented and beautiful."

The guests' discussions reached Xiang's mother's ears, making her even more angry.

She glared at Yan Jin fiercely, only to see that Yan Jin was chatting and laughing with a business tycoon, and his every move showed confidence and elegance.

Mother Xiang's expression became more and more ugly. She never expected that the dinner party she had carefully planned would end up being Yan Jin's personal show.

Father Xiang, who had been silent all this time, now turned his gaze to Yan Jin, with a barely perceptible glimpse of admiration in his eyes.

He put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly said, "Jin'er, come here..." As soon as Father Xiang said this, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Jin and Father Xiang, wondering what this always serious head of the family was going to say.

Yan Jin calmly walked to Father Xiang and asked softly, "Dad, what do you want me to do?"

Father Xiang looked at the graceful woman in front of him with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Jin'er, you performed very well tonight, even better than I thought."

When Xiang's mother heard this, her face suddenly changed. She was about to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by a look from Xiang's father.

Father Xiang continued, "I can see that you have made a lot of preparations for this dinner tonight. Your efforts are seen by everyone, and I am very pleased."

"Dad, you're too kind. I just did what I should do." Yan Jin responded modestly.

"Jin'er, you don't have to be modest." Father Xiang patted the back of Yan Jin's hand and said earnestly, "I know that you have been under a lot of pressure since you married into the Xiang family. But I believe that you have the ability and wisdom to handle everything."

Father Xiang's words were undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Yan Jin. His words not only made Yan Jin recognized in front of everyone, but also completely thwarted Mother Xiang's conspiracy.

During the second half of the dinner, Xiang's mother was unhappy and never bothered Yan Jin again. Yan Jin took the opportunity to communicate with some important business partners and laid the foundation for the promotion of cooperative projects.

"Mr. Yan, your analysis of the market is really thorough. We look forward to cooperating with your company." A real estate tycoon said sincerely, holding up his glass.

"Mr. Wang, you are too kind. Win-win cooperation has always been our goal." Yan Jin raised his glass elegantly in response.

Amid the clinking of glasses, Yan Jin chatted and laughed cheerfully, handling various social occasions with ease, demonstrating the demeanor of an excellent entrepreneur.

All of this was seen by Xiang Yu, who was standing not far away and watching her silently. He looked at the radiant woman in front of him, and a strange feeling arose in his heart...

Xiang Yu's eyes followed Yan Jin all the time, from her chatting and laughing with Xiang's father to her calmly responding to the greetings of business partners, he never looked away. He was surprised at Yan Jin's aura of ease, admired her keen insight into business, and was even more amazed at her elegance and confidence in her gestures. He once thought that Yan Jin's gentleness and virtue were just to cater to him and please him, but he never thought that it was just her deliberately hidden edge.

"It seems that I misjudged her before." Xiang Yu whispered to himself, with a hint of admiration and... a hint of regret in his tone that he himself did not even notice.

After the dinner, the guests left. Mother Xiang looked at Yan Jin's departing figure, and the hatred in her eyes almost became real. "This woman is getting harder and harder to deal with!" Mother Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "I will never let her have an easy time!" She secretly decided to create more trouble for Yan Jin in the company, so that she could not stand in the company and eventually had to leave the Xiang family in disgrace.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked out of the banquet hall one after the other and got on the car to go home. Along the way, they both remained silent, and the atmosphere in the car was a little depressing.

"You did a great job tonight." It was Xiang Yu who broke the silence.

Yan Jin turned to look at him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Thank you." She responded calmly, without any emotion in her tone.

"I..." Xiang Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Jin.

"It's getting late, go back and rest early."

The car slowly drove into the garage of the villa, and the two walked into the house one after the other...

After entering the villa, Yan Jin went straight to the second floor, but was stopped by Xiang Yu, "Wait."

She stopped and didn't look back, "Anything else?"

Xiang Yu walked up to her, his eyes deep, "You are very different tonight."

Yan Jin smiled faintly, "Different? What's different?"

"You are better and more capable than I thought." There was a barely perceptible tenderness in Xiang Yu's tone.

Yan Jin understood that Xiang Yu had seen her hidden edge, but so what? They were divorced, and she didn't need to play any role in front of him anymore.

"Mr. Xiang, you are too kind. I just did what I should do." Yan Jin's tone was calm, without any disturbance.

Xiang Yu looked at her indifferent and distant appearance, and an indescribable irritation surged in his heart. He wanted to get closer to her, but was afraid of being pushed away by her.

"Go to bed early." Yan Jin said without stopping. She turned around and went upstairs, leaving Xiang Yu standing there alone, looking at her back with a complicated look.

Back in the room, Yan Jin took off all her disguises and leaned back on the sofa tiredly. She knew that tonight's performance only temporarily stabilized her position in the Xiang family, but if she wanted to truly get rid of Xiang's mother's difficulties, she still had a long way to go.

"Yan Jin, you must stay calm." She whispered to herself, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

The next day, Yan Jin came to the company as usual and devoted herself to her busy work. However, a sudden report broke her peaceful working state.

"What? The project progress is delayed?!" Yan Jin looked at the report in his hand with a frown.

"Yes, Director Yan." The assistant looked solemn. "The partner made a major mistake, which led to problems in key links. The progress of the entire project was seriously affected..."

Yan Jin put down the report and quickly analyzed various possibilities in his mind. This project is very important to Xiang Group. If it cannot be completed on time, it will cause huge losses.

"Contact the partner immediately. I want to know the situation personally!" Yan Jin made a prompt decision with a sharp tone.

"Yes!" The assistant took the order and left.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She had a feeling that this matter might not be that simple...

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiang Yu walked in with a gloomy face, "What's going on?!"
