Regretful Beijing Marriage

Zhong Yi's face paled slightly, and she swayed as she braced herself against the edge of the table.

Jiang Yining reached out and held her arm, pressing her back into the chair.

She poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Zhong Yi took two sips from her hand, and after recovering, looked up at her.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just gave a bitter laugh.

"Miss Jiang, does it have to be so blunt?"

Jiang Yining had little patience, and her tone was even colder than before.

"Ms. Chung, I don't want to waste my time with you."

"Since there are some things you're not comfortable saying, I won't force you."

"I ask, you answer. Yes or no, respond if you can, remain silent if you can't."

Zhong Yi's lips parted slightly, but the words she wanted to say in defense got stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back.

"If you're willing to talk, then stop wasting time; if you're not, I'll leave immediately."

After a moment of stalemate, Chung Yi smiled helplessly, her tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and she spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Go ahead and ask."

Jiang Yining's gaze was calm yet sharp, locking directly into her eyes.

"You know my mom isn't a third party."

Zhong Yi clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white.

She was silent for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.

"You have evidence that can prove my mother's innocence."

Jiang Yining continued to press for answers.

Zhong Yi's face paled even more.

The person looked as if their supporting skeleton had been removed, and they tilted slightly to the side.

After struggling for a while, she nodded stiffly again.

"You've been hiding the truth all along, and it's not just because of the Shen family."

Jiang Yining slowed down her speech.

Zhong Yi suddenly looked up, her pupils shrinking sharply.

Her grip on her clothes tightened and loosened, her body trembling slightly.

Jiang Yining knew she had guessed correctly.

After a pause, she asked one last question.

"Is it related to my mother's death?"

This sentence shattered Zhong Yi's last psychological defenses.

Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her vision went black.

Losing strength, he fell forward uncontrollably.

Jiang Yining reacted quickly, reaching out to steady the person.

She knew this couldn't be rushed.

She poured warm water for Zhong Yi to drink, softening her tone.

That's all for today.

She looked up at Zhong Yi, who had caught her breath a little, and asked calmly.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?"

Chung Yi held the water glass, her fingertips still trembling.

He looked her over with a complicated expression and spoke softly.

"You and your mother are nothing alike."

Upon hearing this, a layer of cold frost settled over Jiang Yining's eyes.

"My mother was too weak, always yielding and forbearing, which is why she was manipulated and bullied at will, and she never found peace until her death."

"Therefore, I will not follow in her footsteps."

Chung Yi's face stiffened, and her throat bobbed several times.

In the end, he said nothing.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Jiang Yining got up to leave.

"I'll be leaving now. I'll come back for a follow-up appointment in seven days."

She had just taken a step when Zhong Yi behind her suddenly spoke.

"Aren't you going to ask a few more questions?"

Jiang Yining's tone was distant.

"I'm a doctor, my job is to save lives, not to interrogate criminals."

Chung Yi chuckled softly and propped herself up to get up.

"I send you."

Just as I came down the stairs, I bumped into Shen Tian, ​​who was jogging over.

"Godmother..."

The boy, who was initially excited, suddenly stopped in his tracks the moment he saw Jiang Yining clearly.

A layer of resistance flashed quickly across my eyes.

He hesitated for a long time, his lips opening and closing as if he wanted to say something.

Jiang Yining showed no intention of stopping and strode forward.

"etc!"

Shen Tian's voice caught up from behind, sounding somewhat awkward.

"Um... thank you for saving me last time."

Jiang Yining did not stop walking and spoke coldly.

"If you know how to be grateful, then take care of your family and don't let the Shen family's mess get tangled up with me."

After saying that, she walked out the door.

On the way back, Jiang Yining leaned back in her seat with her eyes closed, resting.

But my mind was racing.

Her mother had once secretly met someone behind her back.

Every time I came back, my mother's expression was worse.

She had asked, but her mother never said anything.

She always thought it was that scumbag.

Judging from Chung Yi's reaction today, the person she doesn't know is very likely Chung Yi herself.

However, it will take some time before Zhong Yi will speak up.

Jiang Yining opened her eyes and looked at the street scene flashing past the window, suppressing the surging emotions.

Not urgent.

She will go again in seven days.

She knew the truth; it was only a matter of time.

Jiang Yining returned to the clinic without any major incidents.

The next few days were unexpectedly calm.

The incident at the Shen family's house was indeed effective.

However, Jiang Yining did not let her guard down.

It's always good to be a little more vigilant.

That evening, Jiang Yining and Ji Shu had finished dinner and were relaxing on the sofa.

Jiang Yining glanced at the time.

"Shushu, let's leave early tomorrow and go to the resort to check things out first."

Ji Shu stretched.

"No problem, I can definitely get up."

She rolled over and lay face down to look at her.

"Ningning, it's so wonderful to live with you. You're so caring and your cooking is amazing."

"Why don't you just move in with me permanently? That way we can look after each other."

Jiang Yining smiled and pushed her head away.

"If you want to eat it, I can make it for you anytime."

"Besides, I'll probably have to stay here for a while longer. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you."

She has had the entire apartment renovated.

We'll have to wait a while before we can move in.

Ji Shu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and was about to reply.

Suddenly remembering something, he leaned closer mysteriously and asked.

"By the way, Ningning, do you know what's been going on with Fu Huaiyan lately?"

"He's been having a tough time lately."

Jiang Yining showed no emotion.

"I don't know, and I don't care."

Ji Shu immediately gave her a thumbs up.

"That's so true! We shouldn't have given that scumbag the look he deserved."

"I didn't want to say this, but this matter..."

She paused, then continued gloatingly.

"Fu Huaiyan has really gotten his comeuppance this time for all the bad things he's done."

"The Fu family has been reported by name for using illegal materials, and a number of their businesses have been shut down. Their stock price is now fluctuating wildly, and there is a lot of criticism online."

Jiang Yining did not respond.

I won't comment on Fu Huaiyan's character.

But she knows how to do things.

Fu's quality control system is known throughout Jiangcheng for its strictness.

It's practically impossible for them to use substandard materials.

It's obvious someone's targeting him.

But it has nothing to do with her.

Ji Shu continued.

"Isn't the Fu family's resort about to start operations? A lot of people are watching it."

"Fu Huaiyan must be in a terrible predicament right now. Even if he can suppress the public opinion, he will suffer a lot in the short term."

"Don't worry, he won't bother you again during this time."

These words caused a flicker of surprise to cross Jiang Yining's eyes.

Who can make Fu Huaiyan lose his skin in Jiangcheng!

Before she could figure it out, Ji Shu slammed her hand on the table and lowered her voice.

"That's not the worst part. I have a rumor that Fu Huaiyan has gotten into trouble with people from the Golden Triangle!"

"The black market has already announced they want his life!"
