After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The banquet was over, the noise gradually faded away, Yan Jin stood alone in front of the huge French window, the neon lights of the city cast flickering light and shadows on her face. Her fingers holding the champagne glass tightened slightly, and her eyes flashed with complex emotions. The excitement of the banquet just now seemed to be a world away from her, and the shadow hidden in the dark could not be shaken off.

"What's wrong? You look absent-minded." Chen's best friend walked over to her and handed her a glass of juice. "Are you exhausted?"

Yan Jin forced a smile and shook his head, "It's okay, maybe I'm too happy today."

Chen's best friend looked at her suspiciously, but didn't expose her. She just changed the subject, "Doctor Wu is here today, too. He praised you highly, saying that you are the bravest and strongest woman he has ever met."

"Really?" Yan Jin responded calmly, but Dr. Wu's concerned eyes involuntarily emerged in her mind. He seemed to see through her disguised calmness, but considerately did not point it out.

"Jin, if you have something on your mind, just say it out loud. Don't hold it in." Chen's best friend held her hand, her tone worried.

Yan Jin looked at her friend's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she finally shook her head, "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry."

Chen's best friend wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yan Jin, "I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest first. Please tell everyone for me."

After saying this, without waiting for Chen's best friend to respond, Yan Jin turned around and left the banquet hall.

Late at night, Yan Jin's phone kept receiving messages from the company's internal group. All kinds of rumors about her spread like a virus. Some people said that she did whatever it took to get promoted, some said that her private life was chaotic, and some even dug up her past from a few years ago in an attempt to destroy her reputation.

Yan Jin looked at the vicious words on the phone screen, and she felt an unprecedented anger and powerlessness in her heart. She knew who did all this, but she had no evidence.

With a "ding dong" sound, a text message from an unknown number popped up: "Do you think you can escape? I will make you lose your reputation and everything!"

Yan Jin's fingers turned pale as she held the phone, and her eyes gradually turned cold. She deleted the text message, turned off her phone, and buried herself deeply in the sofa, letting the darkness swallow her.

The next day, Yan Jin came to the company as usual, but her face was paler than usual, and her eyes were tired. As soon as she walked into the office, she heard her colleagues whispering. When they saw her come in, the discussions stopped abruptly, replaced by strange looks.

Yan Jin pretended not to see it, walked straight to her seat, turned on the computer and started working. However, she couldn't concentrate, and those rumors were like lingering shadows, always lingering in her mind.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Xiang Yu walked in. He held a document in his hand, with his usual gentle smile on his face, "Yan Jin, this document requires you..."

He suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on Yan Jin's unusually pale face, and his tone was a little more worried, "What's wrong with you? You don't look well."

Yan Jin forced a smile, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Xiang Yu did not ask any more questions, but put the document on her desk, "Then you take a rest first, I will come to you later."

After saying that, he turned and left the office. Just as he turned around, he vaguely heard a few whispers coming from outside the door: "Have you seen the news? I heard that..."

"Shh! Speak softly, don't let anyone hear you..." Xiang Yu was at a cocktail party, where several entrepreneurs were chatting and laughing. However, he was a little absent-minded, as Yan Jin's abnormal behavior made him vaguely worried.

"Boss Xiang, you really married a powerful wife!" A greasy middle-aged man came over and said in an ambiguous tone, "I heard that Boss Yan is very capable. The guy before, I think his surname was Wang, was killed by her, right? Who in the circle dares to mess with her now?"

Xiang Yu calmly withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "I have also heard about Mr. Wang's affairs. The business world is like a battlefield, and it is normal for the fittest to survive."

"That's true, but this method is too..." The man lowered his voice, with a bit of gloating in his tone, "Aren't you worried that one day..."

"I have something else to do, please excuse me." Xiang Yu interrupted him coldly and turned to leave.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil. He had heard some rumors about Yan Jin during this period, but he was unwilling to believe those groundless rumors. He knew that Yan Jin was decisive in his actions, but would never do anything that violated his principles.

However, those rumors were like tiny thorns that pierced his heart and could not be shaken off.

On the other side, Yan Jin finished a day's work and was about to leave the company, but unexpectedly met a familiar figure in the lobby.

"Long time no see, Jin." The man was wearing a well-tailored suit and had a gentle smile on his face, as if time had never left any traces on him.

Yan Jin paused, and looked at him with a complicated expression, "Long time no see."

He was Yan Jin's senior in college and also her first boyfriend - Lin Hao. They loved each other passionately at that time, but eventually parted ways for various reasons.

"Do you mind having a cup of coffee together?" Lin Hao's tone was filled with anticipation.

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

In the coffee shop, melodious music slowly flowed. Lin Hao looked at Yan Jin, who was obviously much thinner, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. "You have lost weight. Have you been living well these years?"

Yan Jin took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "I'm fine, how about you?"

"I..." Lin Hao paused, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, "I heard some things about you, are they true?"

Yan Jin put down the coffee cup and looked directly at him, "What do you mean?"

"Those rumors, about how you used all means possible..." Lin Hao hesitated, as if he didn't want to mention those unbearable words.

"Do you believe those rumors?" Yan Jin did not answer his question, but asked back.

Lin Hao was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I don't believe it."

"I don't need you to believe me either." Yan Jin's tone suddenly turned cold, "Those things have nothing to do with you."

Lin Hao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yan Jin, "I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

She stood up and left, leaving Lin Hao sitting there alone, looking at her back with complicated eyes.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, his tone cold, "The plan has changed, I want her to come to me in person..."

The bitter aroma of coffee filled the air, but it could not dispel the bitterness in Yan Jin's heart. Lin Hao's appearance was like a stone that broke her peaceful life and disturbed her mood that had finally calmed down.

She admitted that she was shaken when she heard the words "You've lost weight, have you been doing well these years?" The grievances and fatigue suppressed in her heart seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and she wanted to pour them out. However, reason eventually won over emotion. She knew that some of the past, once looked back on, would only bring greater harm.

"Do you believe those rumors?" This sentence seemed to be said to herself. For five years, she had almost exhausted all her strength to bring Yan's to its current height. Only she knew the hardships and efforts involved. Those rumors were like sharp blades, trying to pull her into the abyss.

Lin Hao's silence made her realize more clearly that some people's prejudices are deeply rooted and cannot be changed by just a few words.

"I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." She left the cafe almost as if she was escaping.

As the night deepened, Yan Jin returned home, but Xiang Yu was nowhere to be seen. In the past, no matter how late it was, he would wait for her to have dinner together. Today, there was only a cold dinner on the table.

An inexplicable feeling of loss came over her. She took out her cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and called Xiang Yu.

"Hello?" His low voice came from the other end of the phone, but it couldn't hide a hint of fatigue.

"Where are you?" Yan Jin tried his best to sound calm.

"Company, there is something that needs to be dealt with."

The short answer made Yan Jin's heart sink. He had never spoken to her in this tone before.

"go to bed early."

"You too."

After a brief conversation, there was only a busy tone on the phone. Yan Jin held the phone, and an inexplicable uneasiness spread in her heart.

At the same time, Xiang Yu sat in front of the French window in his office, shaking a glass of scarlet wine in his hand, but the scene of Yan Jin and Lin Hao's meeting kept appearing in his mind.

The admiration and heartache in that man's eyes were so obvious and so dazzling.

He thought of the rumors about Yan Jin at the party and her abnormal behavior during this period. The string of trust in his heart seemed like it would break at any time.

"Ding-dong-"

The phone screen lit up, and it was a picture message from an unknown number. In the photo, Yan Jin and Lin Hao were sitting face to face, with a gentle smile on their faces that he had never seen before.

Under the photo, there is a line of words: Want to know more about your wife?

Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, the wine glass in his hand slipped, and the scarlet liquid splashed on the expensive carpet, like a poppy blooming in the dark night, seductive and dangerous.

He picked up his car keys, strode out of the office and headed straight for the garage.

He wants to find her and ask her clearly!

There were few vehicles on the streets late at night, but Xiang Yu's car was like a wild beast that had lost its mind, running wildly on the empty road.

Yan Jin, how many things are you hiding from me?

On the other side, Yan Jin suffered from insomnia. Lin Hao's appearance, Xiang Yu's abnormal behavior, and all these things intertwined together made her feel confused.

The doorbell rang, and she thought it was Xiang Yu coming back, so she quickly got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were her best friend Chen Li and psychiatrist Professor Wu...

"Jinjin, there are some things I think you need to talk to us about." Chen Li looked at Yan Jin with a worried look on her face.

Yan Jin's heart suddenly sank...
