Regretful Beijing Marriage

Fu Huaiyan's fingers, which were gripping the steering wheel, paused for a moment.

He glanced at her in the rearview mirror, a fleeting flicker of emotion in his eyes.

"What are you trying to say?"

His voice was cold and devoid of warmth.

Jiang Yining withdrew her gaze and leaned back in her seat, her face still showing coldness.

"I don't have much to say, I just think you're sick."

After saying that, she didn't bother arguing with him anymore and turned to look out the window.

At first glance, Fu Huaiyan seemed to be protecting her.

It looks like they're supporting her.

But Jiang Yining wouldn't be so foolish as to think he had changed his personality.

Everything Fu Huaiyan did had a reason.

His ultimate goal was nothing more than to help Shen Miaoyin.

He probably wanted her to stop targeting Shen Miaoyin.

Just like when he married her, it was so that she would stop investigating.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yining's face turned cold.

It's not that she's unwilling to let the Shen family go.

It's the Shen family that won't let her go!

Jiang Yining scoffed.

I'm finding Fu Huaiyan increasingly shameless.

Yesterday, they were still defending Shen Miaoyin.

Today, I'll pretend to favor her.

Do you really think she's a fool who'll listen to you if you give her a little something?

Just as he was lost in thought, Fu Huaiyan's phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Yining subconsciously looked up.

I caught a glimpse of the character "沈" on the caller ID.

I couldn't see the words that followed clearly.

Fu Huaiyan answered the call and listened for a couple of sentences; his previously indifferent expression changed.

He slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop on the side of the road.

"You get off first, I have something to do."

Jiang Yining frowned slightly, said nothing unnecessary, and got out of the car.

The only person who could make Fu Huaiyan lose his composure is Shen Miaoyin.

It was a bit cold when the night wind blew in.

It's hard to get a taxi here.

Fortunately, it wasn't too far from Ji Shu's house.

Jiang Yining pulled her coat tighter and walked towards Ji Shu's house.

In the dead of night, the entire street was deserted and quiet.

Even vehicles are rare.

For some reason, Jiang Yining felt a chill run down her spine.

She simply quickened her pace.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard very light footsteps behind me.

The pace was neither too fast nor too slow.

It was as if he was following her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Jiang Yining tensed up, her mind racing with alarm bells.

There was no one around.

There are logs rolling nearby.

If she were to be dragged in, she wouldn't even have a chance to call for help.

Jiang Yining took a deep breath and glanced back out of the corner of her eye.

nobody.

She turned back and started jogging.

The footsteps behind them caught up again.

Jiang Yining's heart nearly skipped a beat.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head.

She gripped her phone tightly with her fingertips, and one hand was already inside her bag, pressing the switch on the pepper spray.

There is only one chance to succeed or fail.

Just as the footsteps were about to approach, she suddenly turned around.

A black cat darted across the road, leaped into the roadside bushes, and disappeared.

Jiang Yining stood frozen in place, clutching the spray bottle, her back covered in cold sweat.

Turns out they're night owls.

Having gone through this ordeal, Jiang Yining dared not linger any longer.

She immediately quickened her pace and ran towards Ji Shu Residential Area.

Just as I was about to knock, the door was pushed open from the inside.

Ji Shu was dressed and hurriedly walking out.

The moment Ji Shu saw her, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

He rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"Ningning! Are you alright?"

"The community security guards just notified us that there have been criminals loitering late at night recently, and some people have already been injured or killed!"

"I called you countless times and no one answered, I was so scared!"

Jiang Yining then subconsciously took out her phone.

I discovered that it had been muted at some point.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

She gently patted Ji Shu's back to comfort her and followed her into the house.

"Why are you so late coming back? Did something happen on the way?"

Ji Shu was still worried and continued to ask questions.

Jiang Yining briefly recounted what had just happened.

Ji Shu felt a sense of relief after hearing this.

"Ningning, well done!"

"The Shen family are the kind of villains who deserve to be dealt with this way. Next time something like this happens, call me, and I'll back you up."

But then Ji Shu's expression changed again, and she trembled with anger.

"Does that beast Fu Huaiyan have no heart at all! Knowing you're being watched and in danger, he still dared to abandon you halfway through the journey!"

"What if something had happened to you just now? Who would dare to take responsibility for the consequences?!"

Hearing Ji Shu say that, Jiang Yining felt a wave of fear wash over her.

Those desperados were already a persistent and lingering force.

If someone is discovered to be alone, the consequences could be dire.

"No!"

Ji Shu became increasingly uneasy and made a decisive decision.

"Ningning, from now on I'll go to and from get off work with you every day. You can stay here with me for now, and go back home once everything is completely resolved!"

"You can rest assured about the security in my community; there will be no danger."

"Besides, two people can look after each other, which is a hundred times safer than being alone."

Fearing that Jiang Yining might refuse, she quickly added.

"What you said last time made me realize that I can't keep living like this in a daze."

"I'm free right now, so I'll go work with you for a while and figure out my future path."

Jiang Yining felt a warmth in her heart and did not refuse, nodding gently.

"it is good."

"Don't worry, Shushu, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Let's not talk about these things."

Jiang Yining smiled, then suddenly remembered something.

He quickly took out his phone and ordered a large quantity of protective gear, including pepper spray.

"Jiangcheng has been quite turbulent lately. Better safe than sorry, it's always good to be on the safe side."

Ji Shu hugged Jiang Yining and nodded.

"Ningning is so thoughtful."

As the two were chatting and laughing, Jiang Yining's phone rang.

It was a call from home.

She didn't want to accept it.

But after thinking about it, I answered the call anyway.

Fu Jiayu's aggrieved sobs could be heard.

"Mom, where are you? Are you okay? When are you coming home? I'm so worried about you."

Jiang Yining frowned slightly, but before she could respond, Ji Shu snatched the phone from her.

He yelled impatiently into the receiver.

"Fu Jiayu, why have I never seen you this clingy before!"

"You only think of your mom when you're feeling unwell, right? If you want company, go find Shen Miaoyin."

"She's at your beck and call, and since you like her anyway, let her go and comfort you! Stop bothering your mother!"

After saying everything in one breath, Ji Shu hung up the phone immediately.

But she regretted it as soon as she finished, and looked at Jiang Yining somewhat awkwardly.

After all, this is Ningning's biological child.

She is still different from Fu Huaiyan.

Before she could say anything, Jiang Yining chuckled softly.

"Shushu, you did the right thing. I don't want this kind of ingrate."

Without saying much, the two went back to their room to rest.

The next morning, Ji Shu went to work with Jiang Yining.

She remained highly vigilant throughout.

They stayed by each other's side every step of the way.

His eyes scanned the surroundings along the way.

They were terrified of any danger.

Jiang Yining was pulled down by her several times.

Helplessly, he chuckled and pulled Ji Shu down to sit.

"Okay, you're exaggerating."

The morning was calm and peaceful.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yining prepared to go to the Song family to have Zhong Yi see a doctor.

Ji Shu and Ling Qi got up almost at the same time.

I'll go with you.

Jiang Yining was amused by the two of them.

"Shushu, please keep an eye on the clinic for me. I'll be back soon. Lingqi can come with me."

Arrived at the Song family villa.

Ling Qi was waiting downstairs.

Zhong Yi was already waiting for Jiang Yining upstairs.

However, after only a few days apart, Chung Yee's condition visibly deteriorated.

Her eyes and brows showed signs of fatigue, and her mental state was extremely poor.

A hint of gloom flashed across Jiang Yining's eyes, and she went straight to the point.

"Ms. Chung, if you want to get better, tell me everything you can honestly."
