After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 176 Turbulent Waves

Yan Jin drove to a private manor in the suburbs, where a respected elder of the Xiang family lived - Grandpa Sun. The car slowly drove into the manor, Yan Jin took a deep breath, got out of the car, and her eyes flashed with determination.

"Grandpa Sun, you should know the reason why I came here today." Yan Jin stood at the door of the study, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Old Master Sun put down the purple clay teapot in his hand, and a gleam of light flashed through his turbid eyes: "Jin girl, you have been married to the Xiang family for three years. I can see that you are a good child."

"Thank you for your affirmation, but now someone wants to destroy the Xiang family and me as well." Yan Jin said bluntly.

"What are you going to do?" asked Old Master Sun. He wanted to see what plan his usually quiet grandson's wife had.

Yan Jin took a deep breath and told him all the truth and plans he had found out. After listening to him, Old Master Sun remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll do as you say. I will protect the Xiang family even if I have to risk my life!"

Three days later, a press conference was held at the Xiang Group headquarters. Yan Jin appeared in front of the camera in a neat business suit. She looked serious and clarified the truth of the family scandal to all media and the public in a firm tone.

"Regarding the false statements about my family that have been circulating on the Internet recently, I hereby responsibly tell you that they are completely false and maliciously fabricated slander!" Yan Jin's voice was loud and clear. "We have obtained solid evidence and will pursue legal action to hold the rumormongers accountable!"

"In addition, regarding my marriage with my husband, Mr. Xiang Yu, I can clearly tell you that there is no problem between us. We still trust and support each other!" Yan Jin said, turning her eyes to Xiang Yu who was sitting in the audience and watching her silently, with a slight smile on her lips, "We will get through this storm together!"

Yan Jin's speech was sonorous and powerful, which not only responded to the public's doubts, but also stabilized the morale of the company. At the same time, Xiang Yu also launched a thunderous rectification within the company. A group of employees suspected of illegal operations and spreading rumors were fired, including several company executives.

Xiang Yu sat in the empty office, holding a document in his hand. It was just delivered by Lawyer Ma. It listed the names of several malicious rumor-mongering media and related evidence.

"Can we sue now?" Xiang Yu's tone was cold, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Xiang." Lawyer Ma pushed his glasses up. "The evidence is solid. We can file a lawsuit against them to protect the company's reputation."

Xiang Yu threw the document on the table, with a cold smile on his face: "Then..."

"Then leave no one alive!" Xiang Yu's tone was as cold as the chill wind from Siberia. "I will make them pay for their actions!"

Lawyer Ma nodded, and a gleam flashed in his eyes behind his glasses. He had always admired Xiang Yu's decisiveness in killing, and only such a person could overcome difficulties in the business world and achieve success. He respectfully left the office and began to prepare the prosecution materials.

At the same time, the public relations department, led by Qian, worked intensively. They planned a series of public welfare activities to try to restore the company's public image. Donating to support education, poverty alleviation and disaster relief, environmental protection propaganda... The company did almost all the public welfare it could do, but the results were minimal.

"Mr. Xiang, the public opinion on the Internet is still very unfavorable to us." Public Relations Manager Qian's face was full of fatigue. He rubbed his temples and said with a hint of helplessness, "Although we have tried our best to clarify the facts and guide public opinion, but..."

"I understand. You can go down first." Xiang Yu waved his hand, signaling him not to continue. He knew that this could not be blamed on Qian PR. This storm of public opinion came too suddenly and too violently. It was reasonable that the company could not cope with it for a while.

However, the more this happened, the calmer Xiang Yu felt. He knew that the more critical the moment, the more he had to stay calm in order to find a solution to the problem. He flipped through the documents on the table, one financial statement after another, project report, market analysis... He tried to find a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough from these cold numbers.

At this time, the cell phone rang. It was Old Master Sun calling.

"Hey, Grandpa, you looking for me?"

"Ayu, please come to the old house tomorrow for a family meeting. There are some things we need to discuss with you." Old Master Sun's voice sounded a little tired, but his tone was unusually firm and unquestionable.

Xiang Yu's heart sank slightly. He knew that this family meeting might not be peaceful...

The next day, Xiang Yu arrived at the old house as promised. As soon as he walked into the living room, he felt the atmosphere was a bit solemn. The elders of the family had all arrived, each with a serious face and no words.

Old Master Sun sat in the main seat, his cloudy eyes sparkling with brilliance. He spoke slowly, his voice low but powerful: "Today, I have gathered everyone together because I have something important to announce..."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Old Master Sun, and they held their breath, waiting for his next words.

"I decided……"

"I've decided..." Old Master Sun paused, looked around, and took in everyone's expressions before he slowly said, "Let A Yu resign from the position of president of Xiang Group, and let Xiang Wen take over temporarily."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap that exploded in the quiet living room. Everyone was in an uproar, talking about it, questioning and objecting.

"Grandpa, this is absolutely not allowed!" Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiang Wenbo, stood up suddenly, and said excitedly, "Ayu is in his prime, and it is the critical period for him to lead the Xiang family to a higher level. If you ask him to abdicate at this time, wouldn't it be like cutting off his own arm?"

"Yes, Dad, please think twice!" Xiang Yu's aunt, Xiang Shufen, also stood up and said, "Ayu's ability is obvious to all. Over the years, the Xiang family has flourished under his leadership. If you ask him to abdicate now, won't that make him feel cold?"

"Shut up!" Old Master Sun shouted angrily, interrupting everyone's discussion, "I'm not dead yet! It's not your turn to make decisions in this family!"

He coughed violently a few times, but his cloudy eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, "I know you feel sorry for A Yu, but have you ever thought about it? There is so much pressure from public opinion now. If A Yu does not step down, what will happen to the company? What will happen to the Xiang family?"

Everyone was silent. It was not that they did not understand the truth, but they simply did not want to watch Xiang Yu being brought down from his saddle.

Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Grandpa, I accept your decision."

His voice was calm and firm, without the slightest hesitation or unwillingness. He knew that this was the best solution at the moment, and only in this way could he calm the storm and save the Xiang family and the company.

Old Master Sun looked at his grandson, with a hint of relief in his eyes, but also a hint of guilt. He knew that what he did was very unfair to Xiang Yu, but for the sake of the family, he had to do it.

On the other side, Yan Jin sat in the corridor of the hospital, tightly holding a test report in her hand. On it, the word "pregnant" was clearly visible, stinging her eyes.

She was pregnant, this was her and Xiang Yu's child. This sudden news caught her off guard, but she also felt a little happy.

Since her divorce from Xiang Yu, her life has been in chaos. Company affairs, pressure from public opinion, misunderstanding from her family... everything has made her feel overwhelmed.

But now, she has a child and new hope. For the sake of her child, she must live strong and face everything bravely.

However, the cruel reality forced her to face the heartbreaking decision again...

"Boss Yan, the court summons..." Assistant Xiao Li came hurriedly and handed a thin piece of paper to Yan Jin, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Yan Jin took the subpoena, her fingertips trembling slightly. The words "property dispute after divorce" were written on it, like a sharp blade, piercing her heart. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the waves in her heart, and said to the assistant in a calm tone: "I understand, you can go out first."

The assistant looked at her worriedly, but eventually left silently.

Yan Jin sat alone in the empty corridor, the image of Xiang Yu leaving resolutely echoing in her mind. Could this be the final outcome between them?

At this time, Xiang Yu on the other side did not know that Yan Jin had received a court summons. Since learning that Yan Jin was pregnant, he resolutely resigned from the position of president of Xiang Group, handed over all matters to Xiang Wenbo, and stayed by Yan Jin's side wholeheartedly.

"Jin'er, I know I was wrong in the past. I didn't cherish you well and caused you to suffer a lot. Now I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance and let me compensate you and the child, okay?" Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand and said sincerely.

Yan Jin looked at the domineering CEO who was once high and mighty, but now put aside all his pride and dignity for her, and she felt mixed emotions. She wanted to tell him the news of her pregnancy, but when she thought of the court summons, she swallowed the words back.

"Ayu, we..."

"Jin'er, I know you still have a lot of concerns in your heart, but it doesn't matter. I can wait until the day you are willing to accept me again." Xiang Yu gently interrupted Yan Jin's words, his eyes full of love and determination.

Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu's affectionate eyes, and the ice in her heart seemed to begin to melt slowly. Perhaps, there was still a chance for them to start over.

However, just as Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were preparing to announce the good news of their pregnancy, a bigger crisis suddenly struck. The company's core technology was stolen by competitors, and its products were accused of infringement, facing a catastrophe.

With a loud bang, Xiang Yu's phone fell to the ground, and the screen shattered into a spider web. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of shock and anger.

"What's wrong, Ayu?" Yan Jin realized the seriousness of the matter and asked quickly.

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "The company...something happened to the company..."
