After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

After the banquet, Yan Jin left early on the grounds of feeling unwell. The bright lights and noisy crowd seemed to be isolated outside the door behind her. She came to a secluded cafe alone and ordered a cup of black coffee. The bitter taste spread in her mouth, but it was not as bitter as her mood at the moment.

An hour later, assistant Chen Lin rushed over and handed her a file bag. "Boss Yan, we have found out that the anonymous letter was sent from a virtual operator, but the source of funds..." Chen Lin paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak, "It was the public relations department of Xiang Group."

Yan Jin's fingertips trembled slightly, and the file bag slipped from her hands, and the photos inside scattered. In the photo, Xiang Yu and a strange man were chatting and laughing in a bar, behaving intimately. Although the photo did not capture the front face, Yan Jin recognized the man at a glance from his figure and profile - it was the man mentioned in the anonymous letter, who had a close relationship with her mother.

How could it be him? Has he been deceiving herself all these years? Yan Jin felt dizzy, and her mind kept recalling every little bit of their time together. The gentleness and thoughtfulness that she once thought of now seemed like sharp knives stabbing her heart.

"Mr. Yan, are you okay?" Chen Lin asked worriedly.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried hard to control the emotions surging in her heart, "I'm fine." She picked up her phone and called Xiang Yu.

"What's wrong? Is the banquet over?" Xiang Yu's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?" Yan Jin's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

"I'm still handling some things in the company. What's wrong? Did something happen on your side?" Xiang Yu noticed that her tone was wrong, and there was a hint of worry in her tone.

"Xiang Yu," Yan Jin took a deep breath and said word by word, "Let's talk about the anonymous letter."

Yan Jin's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all the expectations in Xiang Yu's heart. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Jin'er, are you doubting me?"

"It's not suspicion, it's an explanation." Yan Jin's fingers tightened around the phone, and a hint of fatigue was revealed in his tone, "Who is the person in the photo?"

Xiang Yu smiled bitterly, "Jin'er, you should know that the business world is like a battlefield. As the president of Xiang Group, I have many enemies, and it is common for me to be framed."

"So, is this your explanation?" Yan Jin's voice turned cold. "Xiang Yu, you and I are husband and wife. I think I have a clear conscience towards you. Is this how you treat me?"

"Jin'er, listen to my explanation. The person in the photo is Mr. Li. I was just discussing business with him. Someone deliberately took the photo to sow discord between us." Xiang Yu explained anxiously, "As for the anonymous letter, I have also been asking people to investigate. We have found some clues and I believe the truth will be revealed soon."

Yan Jin remained silent. Xiang Yu's words sounded reasonable, but she still had a trace of doubt in her heart.

"I know it may be hard for you to believe me now, but what I said is true." Xiang Yu said sincerely, "I'll ask PR Zhou to send you the information he found. You can see it for yourself."

A moment later, Yan Jin received an email from the PR department of Xiang Group. The email detailed Xiang Yu's recent schedule, the time and place of his meeting with General Li, and some analysis of the secretly taken photos. It even found the IP address of the anonymous letter, confirming that it was done by Xiang's competitors.

Yan Jin finished reading the email, feeling mixed emotions. At this time, Chen Lin came in and handed her a document, "Boss Yan, Boss Li has confirmed that he was indeed discussing business with Boss Xiang that night, and he also provided a surveillance video of the time."

Yan Jin turned on the video, and the picture clearly showed that Xiang Yu and Mr. Li were chatting and laughing in the bar's private room, and there was nothing ambiguous about their behavior.

"Boss Yan, it seems that we really misunderstood Boss Xiang this time." Chen Lin said, "We have all seen how much Boss Xiang has loved you over the years. He will never do anything to let you down."

Yan Jin didn't say anything. Her mind kept replaying every moment with Xiang Yu, those warm moments when he cared for her so carefully, those gentle and doting eyes when he looked at her. Could it be that this was just her illusion?

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the office door, and partner Li walked in. He said to Yan Jin with a serious look, "Boss Yan, regarding this cooperation..."

Yan Jin suddenly realized that this cooperation case was crucial to the company, but now because of this anonymous letter, she almost lost her mind and almost destroyed her cooperation relationship with Xiang. She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, raised her head, and said firmly: "Mr. Li, let's continue to discuss the details of the cooperation." Yan Jin's calm attitude in handling the cooperation case made partner Li feel relieved, and also warmed Xiang Yu's heart who had been paying attention to her. He knew that Yan Jin was still the rational and decisive Yan family strong woman after all.

After seeing off partner Li, Yan Jin rubbed his brows tiredly. At this time, Xiang Yu pushed the door open and walked in, holding a cup of steaming hot coffee in his hand. He walked up to Yan Jin and said softly, "Have a cup of coffee, don't get too tired."

Yan Jin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who was once very familiar to her, but now made her feel a little strange. She took the coffee and took a sip, and the bitter taste spread in her mouth.

"Jin'er," Xiang Yu sat down opposite her, staring at her with deep eyes, "I know that nothing I say now can make up for the mistakes I made before, but I hope you can give me a chance to prove to you that I am sincere to you."

Yan Jin put down the coffee cup and said calmly: "Xiang Yu, the problem between us cannot be explained in just a few words. For so many years, I always thought that we understood and respected each other, but the facts proved that I was wrong."

"Jin'er, I admit that I didn't pay enough attention to you before and took your kindness to me for granted. But after the divorce, I realized that I couldn't live without you. You are like air. I have become accustomed to your existence. It was not until I lost you that I realized how precious you are." Xiang Yu's tone was filled with pain and regret. "I love you, Jin'er. I have always loved you."

Yan Jin's heart trembled slightly. She saw sincerity in Xiang Yu's eyes and his deep affection for her. Before the divorce, she had expected him to say these three words to her. But at that time, he always used various excuses to prevaricate, which disappointed her again and again.

"Xiang Yu, you said you love me, but do you know what I want?" Yan Jin took a deep breath and suppressed the waves in her heart. "I want a partner who can fight alongside me, not someone who keeps me in captivity like a canary."

"I know I was wrong before." Xiang Yu held her hand and said firmly, "Jin'er, give me a chance, I will prove to you that I can be your strongest backer and face all the storms with you."

Yan Jin looked at the man in front of her. His eyes were so sincere and his tone was so firm that she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Maybe he really had changed. Maybe there was still a chance for them to start over...

"Xiang Yu, I need time to think about it carefully." Yan Jin finally withdrew her hand. She needed time to sort out her thoughts, and she also needed time to verify Xiang Yu's sincerity.

Xiang Yu respected her decision. He stood up and gently touched her hair. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After saying that, he turned and left the office. The office door closed gently, leaving Yan Jin alone, sitting there quietly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Boss Yan..." Assistant Chen pushed the door open and saw Yan Jin in deep thought, hesitating to speak. Partner Li followed behind her, looking at Yan Jin with a complicated expression, then looking at the closed office door.

Assistant Chen looked at Yan Jin worriedly, then turned to give Partner Li a look, and the two of them left the office together.

"Mr. Li, you said, Ms. Yan..." Assistant Chen lowered his voice, his tone full of worry.

Partner Li shook his head and sighed: "When it comes to feelings, it's hard for others to explain. But I think Mr. Xiang is serious this time. The look he gave Mr. Yan just now was clearly full of love."

"But, what happened before..." Assistant Chen hesitated.

"Before, Mr. Xiang didn't know how to cherish, but now he has realized his mistakes and is willing to change for the better. Does Mr. Yan really want to give up a true relationship because of the past?" Partner Li paused, "Besides, they have a child. Do they want to let the child grow up in a single-parent family?"

Assistant Chen was silent. She knew that Partner Li was right, but when she thought of the injustice Yan Jin had suffered over the years, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"When it comes to emotional matters, the person involved has to think it through clearly." Partner Li patted Assistant Chen on the shoulder, "All we can do is to give her support and encouragement when she needs it."

Assistant Chen nodded, and the two walked into the elevator side by side.

When Yan Jin left the company, night had already fallen. The lights were on, the traffic was busy, the city was still bustling, but it couldn't dispel the loneliness in her heart.

On the way home, Yan Jin's mind kept replaying every bit of her time with Xiang Yu. His gentleness, his thoughtfulness, his dominance, his strength... those memories that once made her feel sweet now hurt her heart like tiny needles.

After the divorce, she thought she had completely let go of this relationship, but when Xiang Yu appeared in front of her again and spoke those affectionate words to her, her heart couldn't help but waver.

"Can I really still trust him?" Yan Jin murmured to himself, looking at the night scene passing by outside the car window with a dazed look.

At this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly. Yan Jin glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from the company.

"Mr. Yan, we have received an important project..." The assistant's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What project?"

"It's a large-scale..." The assistant paused, and his tone became a little subtle, "It's a project in cooperation with Xiang Group, and you need to personally..."
