Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining paused and looked up.

A disheveled man rushed out, acting erratically.

Holding a scalpel, he strangled an elderly man.

The tip of the knife was pressed against the carotid artery.

The man's eyes were unfocused, and he roared hoarsely.

"Get out of here! You all lied to me! Nobody wants to play with me!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Everyone screamed in terror.

The head nurse was trembling, but she could only grit her teeth and go forward to gently coax him.

"Siyi, we're willing to play along, but please put the knife down first, okay?"

But the madman wouldn't listen at all, and his arms tightened even more.

"Get lost! I don't believe you!"

The old man he was holding hostage was already flushed, his lips were turning purple, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Anxious voices rose and fell all around.

"Where's the security guard?! Why isn't the security guard coming up yet?!"

"Why did the elevator have to break down now! It won't be back for at least five more minutes!"

Jiang Yining frowned.

Five minutes, but the old man in that state couldn't last more than two minutes.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yining walked straight toward the madman.

Exclamations erupted around her, and some people desperately tried to pull her away and urgently dissuade her.

"Are you crazy? Don't go over there! If you provoke him and he hurts someone, we're all finished!"

Jiang Yining kept moving.

The madman instantly bristled, his bloodshot eyes bulging as if they were about to burst.

His scalpel suddenly shot up.

"Don't come any closer! Take one more step and I'll kill him!"

Jiang Yining stopped, her gaze calmly meeting his frenzied stare.

"I'll play with you. Haven't you always wanted someone to play with you?"

"But if you hurt someone, no one will ever dare to play with you again in this lifetime."

The madman was clearly taken aback for a moment, his arm loosened slightly, but he still refused to let go.

He dragged the old man back a few steps.

The old man was so choked he could barely breathe.

My whole body felt so limp that I felt like I was about to slide down.

His face was frighteningly pale.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yining's eyes, and she suddenly raised her voice, shouting sharply.

"Put it down! If you keep doing that, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

The madman shuddered, clearly terrified.

He loosened his grip and stammered.

"You're fierce."

"I...I was just joking...please don't refuse to play along..."

Seeing this, Jiang Yining seized the opportunity.

He quickly stepped forward, precisely grabbed the wrist holding the knife, and twisted it hard.

The scalpel fell to the ground with a thud.

She reached out and shielded the nearly suffocating elderly man behind her.

With his other hand, he reached into the first aid kit next to him, pulled out a sedative, and precisely inserted the needle into the madman's neck.

The medication took effect quickly.

The madman rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

All the movements were performed in one smooth motion.

It only took a few seconds.

The medical staff reacted quickly and immediately surrounded the elderly man.

Jiang Yining put away the needle, stood up, and turned to look at the head nurse.

"This person's mental state is extremely unstable, and he has a tendency to be violent and harm others. He must be sent to a specialized mental hospital and cannot stay here."

A nurse standing nearby hesitated before speaking up.

"Who are you? Don't talk nonsense. He's from the Wang family. We wouldn't just send him to a place like that..."

The Wang family can only be considered a small or medium-sized enterprise in Jiangcheng.

There are still exceptions, and they can do whatever they want in Jiangcheng.

Jiang Yining couldn't help but sneer and spoke coldly.

"No matter how powerful one's family background is, it cannot outweigh the value of a human life."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Suddenly, an old but excited voice came from behind.

"Little girl, wait a minute!"

Ye Zhong leaned against the wall to keep his balance, his gaze fixed on her, his chest heaving violently.

"You are Psy.N!"

"There's no mistake! It's you... I've finally found you!"

Psy.N.

Her code name when she participated in competitions during her school days.

Surprisingly, some people still remember.

Jiang Yining's back stiffened instantly, and her feet seemed to be rooted to the spot.

Countless emotions surged.

A few seconds later, she calmed down and spoke softly.

"The old gentleman must have mistaken you for someone else."

After saying that, she took a step and left almost as if fleeing.

As I stepped out of the hospital, the night wind rushed towards me, filling my collar.

A bone-chilling cold.

Jiang Yining let out a long breath.

She has let her teacher down.

She didn't expect that not only people would remember her.

I can still recognize her at a glance.

But she was a coward.

At least for now.

She doesn't have the courage to admit it yet.

Once her name was revealed, all that awaited her was a deluge of insults.

Not only that, even the teachers will not have peace.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yining clenched her fist, a fierce look appearing in her eyes.

We must get the clinic up and running as soon as possible and establish a firm foothold.

One day, she will seek justice for herself and for her mentor!

Jiang Yining bought dinner and returned home.

Ji Shu immediately came to greet him.

"Are you alright?"

Jiang Yining shook her head, briefly explained that Fu Huaiyan had agreed to the divorce, and added one more sentence at the end.

"His near-death experience has made him determined to give Shen Miaoyin a proper status, which is a blessing in disguise for me."

Ji Shu was both angry and pleased after hearing this.

"Anyway, congratulations on finally getting rid of Fu Huaiyan!"

"I'm really not willing to let Fu Huaiyan and Shen Miaoyin get away with this so easily!"

"If you ask me, he might as well be dead. You'd be better off widowed!"

Jiang Yining smiled but didn't reply.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. I can tell you've been starving waiting for me."

The two ate and chatted.

While she was eating, Jiang Yining's phone rang.

It was the old lady who called.

Jiang Yining paused slightly, made a gesture to Ji Shu, and walked to the window to answer the call.

On the other end of the phone, the old lady's voice was weak and hoarse, clearly indicating that she was quite frightened.

"Did you visit Huaiyan at the hospital today?"

"I checked, he's fine."

Jiang Yining spoke in a detached tone.

"Grandma isn't feeling well, so she should try to rest as much as possible."

The old lady snorted coldly.

"I'm not calling to listen to your nonsense. I just want to ask you one question: are you still determined to get a divorce?"

"Huaiyan this time..."

"My decision will not change."

Jiang Yining interrupted her directly, clearly annoyed.

"If you're here as a mediator, I'm hanging up."

"Well, just don't regret it."

The old lady's tone turned somber, and she sighed.

"I won't go back on my promise, but you need to come back right now!"

"Jiayu has a high fever that won't go down!"

As she spoke, the old woman's voice clearly became angry.

"It's all Shen Miaoyin's fault! The child is still shaken and very weak."

"She insisted on taking the child to the hospital to see Huaiyan, and she practically made Jiayu collapse from the stress!"

"If I had known, I would never have let her go to the hospital!"

Jiang Yining understood the old lady's intention, but her tone remained cold.

"Grandma, the Fu family has so many family doctors, and they are all very skilled. There's no need for me, an outsider, to go back and worry about them."

"Jiang Yining!"

The old lady's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"I'm calling you personally, not to listen to you say these things!"

"The child was delirious with fever, and kept calling for 'Mommy'!"

"Even if you want a divorce, Jiayu is still your own flesh and blood, the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to. You have no reason to abandon him!"

Jiang Yining felt as if something had tugged hard at her heart.

Is this an attempt to use the child to keep her occupied?

She chuckled softly, her tone as cold as ice.

"Grandma, I've said it before: if we get a divorce, I don't want the children."

Before he could finish speaking, a weak sob came from the other end of the phone.

"Mom...I was wrong..."

"I feel so bad... Mom, where are you...?"

The sound suddenly entered Jiang Yining's ears.

This was the first time she had ever heard Fu Jiayu so scared and plead with her like this.

The old lady pressed her advantage, using coercion as a pretext.

"Jiang Yining, are you really going to be this heartless? Even if we get divorced, you still need to come see the child every month."

Over there, the son's weak cries continued.

Jiang Yining's knuckles turned slightly white as she gripped her phone, and something seemed to be stuck in her throat.

My chest feels tight and painful.

But she still closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing all her emotions.

When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was desolation.

"Since we're getting a divorce, I don't want any further involvement."

Jiang Yining remained calm.

"I won't go see the child."
