Regretful Beijing Marriage

There was complete silence on the other end of the phone.

The old woman was breathing heavily, clearly too angry to speak.

Jiang Yining didn't give her a chance to catch her breath; her voice remained steady.

"Grandma, there's no need to be angry. My divorce from Fu Huaiyan is a done deal."

"He will remarry someday, and no matter who the other woman is, Jia Yu will inevitably have a stepmother."

"The entire Fu family has been eager for me to get out of here as soon as possible. The reason you called today is simply because there's no one to take care of the children for the time being."

"Once you find the right person, I think you'd prefer me to get as far away as possible."

There was complete silence on the other end of the line.

The old lady's eyes widened, clearly not expecting Jiang Yining to guess it.

Or perhaps I didn't expect her to be so open about it.

During the silence, Jiang Yining softened her tone.

"Grandma, the child has a high fever and his body is stiff. Have someone gently massage his limbs and play a soothing lullaby to help him relax and reduce the fever."

"I'm saying these words one last time, out of consideration for our past relationship."

"From now on, please don't bother me anymore, Grandma."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

Jiang Yining didn't want to know if the old lady's anger would affect her health.

They don't care.

The best outcome is that she has no connection with the Fu family.

Afterwards, Jiang Yining stayed at the clinic to prepare for its opening.

She doesn't plan on having a big celebration.

But clearly, no one around him agreed.

On the opening day, Zhou Xubai arrived earliest and carried in a pure gold gilded plaque.

Peace of mind for medical consultation.

Then, with a warm smile, he handed over a contract.

"From now on, all legal matters concerning the clinic will be handled entirely by my lawyer."

"Ningning, I wish you a successful business opening."

Ji Shu rushed in right after, carrying a pure gold lucky cat in her arms.

It was placed heavily on the counter.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Wishing my best friend Ningning a grand opening, overflowing with customers, and a booming business!"

Next, Wen Junshan, Fang Zhengping, and Sun Zhenping arrived.

Valuable ornaments, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and top-notch physiotherapy equipment were given away as if they were free.

The Song family also sent congratulatory gifts through a messenger.

The room was filled with big shots, which made passersby downstairs unable to resist coming up to find out more.

People were discussing who the owner of this clinic really was.

They were able to invite so many important people.

Jiang Yining stood in the center of the crowd, surrounded by people.

A warm smile shone in his eyes.

She thanked them one by one.

"Thank you all for your support, seniors and friends."

"Don't just keep saying nice things!"

Ji Shu unfurled the red banner, held it high, and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Quickly cut the ribbon! Wishing you a grand opening and all the best!"

Jiang Yining smiled and reached out to take the scissors.

Just then, a group of people walked in.

The elderly man at the head of the group, Ye Zhong, slowly walked into the clinic.

His kind gaze fell on Jiang Yining's face.

"I've long admired Dr. Jiang, but I never imagined you were living in seclusion in Jiangcheng."

"I will always remember your life-saving grace yesterday."

Jiang Yining was slightly taken aback, then smiled calmly in response.

"You're too kind, sir. It was nothing at all."

Zhou Xubai, who was standing to the side, was stunned, clearly not expecting to see Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong caught a glimpse of his expression, smiled, and nodded.

"Don't be nervous, kid. I'm in Jiangcheng by invitation to a meeting. I won't interfere in other people's business."

Zhou Xubai smiled back calmly.

"Uncle Ye is joking."

Jiang Yining raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask a question.

"You two know each other?"

Before the two could speak, Fang Zhengping leaned in and lowered his voice.

"Dr. Jiang, you've kept this a secret for so long, you even know Old Master Ye."

"This is Mr. Ye Zhong, the current head of the Ye family in Hong Kong. He is not someone that can be invited by just anyone."

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils contracted slightly.

The frail old man she rescued from the clutches of a madman yesterday turned out to be the head of one of Hong Kong's top wealthy families.

The Ye family.

A family with a history spanning over a century.

He was also a renowned philanthropist.

It was truly an honor for her to have Mr. Ye come.

While he was still in a daze, Ye Zhong clapped his hands lightly.

The row of bodyguards in black filed in through the door.

The gifts were laid out one by one.

It is fully equipped with imported high-end psychological diagnosis and treatment equipment.

One piece of equipment costs tens of millions.

All of these things added together are worth at least hundreds of millions!

Jiang Yining was stunned, and even her words of refusal were stammering.

"Elder Ye... this gift is too much, I really can't accept it."

Ye Zhong, however, looked serious.

"Dr. Jiang, you don't need to refuse."

"Isn't my life worth this much money?"

Sun Zhenping offered a way out at the opportune moment, saying with a smile.

"Yi Ning, please accept it. It would be too polite for you to refuse Elder Ye's kind offer."

Jiang Yining knew that Old Sun was helping him make connections.

Establishing a connection with the Ye family would be beneficial to her.

Jiang Yining took a deep breath and solemnly bowed to Ye Zhong.

"Thank you very much, Elder Ye. I will do my best to help you in the future."

Amidst the laughter and conversation, the grandeur of the place had already attracted a large number of reporters who had gathered outside.

Flashes of light went off one after another.

A group of reporters pushed their way forward, their cameras shoving into every single gift, marveling at the sight.

"What's Dr. Jiang's background? The Ye family personally sent a congratulatory gift? No one in the entire Jiangcheng has ever seen such a display!"

Jiang Yining was surrounded and could only laugh helplessly.

"Thank you all for your kindness and support. Thank you for your help."

The reporters weren't about to let this opportunity pass, and they all chimed in with their own opinions.

"Dr. Jiang is being too modest! Today's spectacle deserves to be the headline news of the entire city!"

Before the noise subsided, there was another commotion at the door.

Then another group of bodyguards came in.

Rows of exquisite and luxurious high-end jewelry pieces entered the venue in an orderly fashion, their dazzling brilliance overwhelming the eyes.

Qin Yi walked through the crowd, went straight to Jiang Yining, and handed her a property certificate with both hands.

"Congratulations on the grand opening of your clinic, Madam."

"Since Mr. Fu is still unwell and unable to attend in person, he is gifting the entire Chenghui Building to his wife as a congratulatory present for the opening."

For a moment, the entire room fell silent.

Immediately afterward, the discussion erupted like a boiling pot.

"Chenghui Building? That landmark building in the main urban area? The entire building?!"

"Has President Fu gone mad? Giving away an entire building like that?"

"Wait a minute, weren't there rumors before that Jiang Yining was going to be kicked out? This isn't just being ignored, this is blatant support!"

"Are they going to get a divorce or not? With Mr. Fu putting on such a show, who would dare say Mrs. Fu isn't favored?"

The flashes went completely crazy, bombarding Jiang Yining's face with a dense barrage of light.

The microphone was practically poking her chin.

"Madam Fu! Please say a few words!"
