Regretful Beijing Marriage

The surrounding chatter kept pouring into my ears.

The constant use of the term "Madam Fu" was grating to hear.

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

Fu Huaiyan had clearly agreed to the divorce.

Now, why is he making such a high-profile scene?

She had no idea what he was up to.

I don't want to know.

Divorce should be done quietly.

Fu Huaiyan's actions did her no good at all.

Ji Shu was so angry that she stomped her feet.

She was seething with anger, but with the room full of reporters, she could only grit her teeth and whisper in Jiang Yining's ear.

"Ningning, that Fu Huaiyan is such a scoundrel!"

"He must be jealous because so many top figures are supporting you today."

"So they deliberately sent a building to piggyback on your connections and benefit from your fame—how disgusting!"

"We never see you usually, but as soon as you're so outstanding, you come running to us like crazy. Shameless thing!"

Jiang Yining's gaze darkened slightly; she knew exactly what was going on in her mind.

She looked up at Qin Yi in front of her, her tone polite but indifferent.

"Assistant Qin, thank you for making this special trip."

"But I can't accept this gift. Please take it back as is."

Qin Yi's smile froze instantly.

When President Fu asked him to deliver the gift today, he could already picture Jiang Yining beaming with joy.

This is blatant backing.

Isn't this exactly what she wanted?

Even if Jiang Yining was playing hard to get, he never expected her to openly refuse the gift in front of a room full of reporters.

This wasn't a refusal; it was clearly a slap across President Fu's face in front of everyone.

Qin Yi was filled with doubt.

President Fu has lowered himself, but she insists on putting on this aloof attitude.

Jiang Yining had no time to pay attention to his little schemes.

She glanced casually at the microphones and cameras held high in the room, and spoke in a calm and unhurried voice.

"I handled everything from the preparation to the operation of this clinic entirely on my own."

"I am sincerely grateful to all the seniors, friends, and reporters who came to support us today."

"But I hope that people will recognize me, Jiang Yining, as a person, rather than anything else superfluous."

With just a few words, she completely severed ties with Fu Huaiyan.

Everyone present was shrewd; how could they not understand?

This is clearly a move to sever all ties with President Fu.

The reporters looked at each other, wondering how they should write this report.

The Fu family is not one they can afford to offend.

Just then, Ye Zhong stepped forward slowly, his steady gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"I'm here today only for Dr. Jiang himself."

"What I value is her ability and her heart as a doctor. As for other empty reputations and other people, they are not worthy of my attention."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

The reporters' expressions changed repeatedly.

As expected of the Ye family of Hong Kong, they showed no respect for President Fu.

All eyes lingered on Jiang Yining, their curiosity growing.

What abilities does this woman possess that make Elder Ye protect her so much?

Before anyone could react, Fang Zhengping spoke up.

His words were even more direct.

"You journalists are indeed lacking in professionalism."

"Dr. Jiang is excellent enough to establish herself in the industry on her own."

"If you ask me, her only problem is that she has terrible taste in men."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

The reporters broke out in a cold sweat.

No one dared to speak.

This is tantamount to publicly confirming that Fu Huaiyan is not good enough for Jiang Yining.

Wen Junshan snorted coldly, looked around with an air of superiority, and said in a deep voice.

"Today is Dr. Jiang's grand opening. Anyone who adds titles arbitrarily or writes false reports should leave."

"I don't need to work in the media industry anymore."

A threat, a blatant threat.

This is not a matter of disrespecting President Fu.

Judging from their appearance, they can already be considered quite annoying.

"Alright, alright, the auspicious time is almost here!"

Ji Shu hurriedly checked the time, too lazy to listen to their nonsense anymore.

"Let's get the ribbon-cutting ceremony done first, so as not to delay the auspicious day!"

The crowd then relaxed their stances and surrounded Jiang Yining, positioning her in the center.

A group of highly respected seniors stood on both sides, and the flashbulbs of cameras lit up the scene.

Ji Shu held up her camera and shouted with a bright smile.

"Everyone, smile! We need to start this off on a good note!"

Jiang Yining took the gilded scissors, her fingertips tightening slightly.

She stood in the center of the crowd, her brows and eyes relaxed, filled with shimmering light.

She has been trapped in her marriage for years.

They made concessions at every step, devoting all their attention to the Fu family.

Jiang Yining's only consolation is that she didn't become a housewife.

And this clinic was built by her own hands.

This was also the first step she took to restart her life.

The camera flashed wildly at her.

The ribbons fell to the ground with a sound.

It fell all over the ground.

Ji Shu was the first to cheer and clap her hands enthusiastically.

Jiang Yining looked up at the colorful ribbons fluttering in the sky, surrounded by cameras and lights.

A strange emotion welled up inside me.

This time, she will rely on herself to take back everything that belongs to her.

The opening procedures are complete.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the clinic finally quieted down.

Only Zhou Xubai and Ye Zhong remained.

Ye Zhong grew to like Jiang Yining more and more the more he looked at her.

After all these years, she is still the same as before, staying true to herself.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Zhong suddenly spoke seriously.

"Miss Jiang, I genuinely admire your personality and abilities."

"Would you be willing to acknowledge me as your godfather? From now on, I'll be your protector."

Jiang Yining was completely caught off guard, and opened her mouth but didn't know how to respond.

This old man is completely unpredictable.

Zhou Xubai smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Uncle Ye, it's a bit abrupt to claim godparents so soon after we met."

Ye Zhong laughed heartily.

"You're really protective of your own, aren't you?"

"I was a bit too hasty. I just couldn't help myself because I admire Miss Jiang so much."

Jiang Yining snapped out of her daze and smiled faintly.

"Mr. Ye, you are too kind. I have always respected you for your noble character and will continue to learn from you in the future."

Ye Zhong gave her a deep look and left a meaningful remark.

"I should be thanking you. I'm so glad you're willing to come back to practice medicine."

"Some things will eventually come to light."

Without saying another word, he turned and left with Zhou Xubai.

As Ye Zhongcai walked outside the clinic, he slowed down and sighed.

"Xu Bai, you really have a keen eye for people."

"This girl is far more outstanding than she appears. The legendary psychologist Psy.N. whom I've been thinking about is actually her."

Zhou Xubai's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded silently.

It seems Ningning still considers him an outsider.

Ye Zhong glanced at him, saw right through his thoughts, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"So even you've got your day when love gets you down. Looks like my granddaughter has absolutely no chance."

"However, Miss Jiang is unaware of the weight of her title; the scandals of that year involved too many people."

"Some things can only be resolved by the person involved; there's only so much we outsiders can do to help."

After a pause, Ye Zhong glanced back at the clinic, a deeper smile appearing in his eyes.

"But that's fine, she's already strong enough and doesn't need anyone's protection."

"Even against the wind, she can turn the tide."
