Regretful Beijing Marriage

VIP ward in the hospital.

Fu Huaiyan leaned against the headboard, his gaze fixed on his phone.

The screen showed a frozen moment at the opening ceremony.

Colorful ribbons fell from the sky.

Jiang Yining stood in the center of the crowd.

Tiny specks of light dot the surface.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at the colorful ribbons.

His eyes held a clear and bright light.

This is nothing like the woman she was 7 years ago.

Fu Huaiyan unconsciously stroked the screen with his fingertip.

So this is the real her?

Its sharp edge was fully revealed.

She's more interesting than before.

"Tsk—still watching!"

An exaggerated sound rang out, and Xie Xingzhou stood by the bed, arms crossed.

"Fu Huaiyan, are you starting to see Jiang Yining in a completely different light?"

"How long have you been staring at this video? We've been here for ages, and you didn't even notice?"

"If I don't say anything, how long are you going to watch?"

Fu Huaiyan's expression remained unchanged. He swiped his finger to lock the screen and casually placed the phone face down on the bedside table.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Yunshen sat on the sofa, raising an eyebrow and smiling.

"Our good brother is in the hospital, of course we have to come and see him."

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Fu Huaiyan's face for a second, his tone casual.

"We've been here for quite a while, and we were embarrassed to bother you since you didn't even look up."

Fu Huaiyan remained calm, showing no sign of guilt at being caught, and replied casually.

"It's a superficial injury, nothing serious, you'll be discharged soon."

Xie Xingzhou pursed his lips, his playful expression vanishing, and said seriously.

"Alright, let's get down to business. We've basically locked onto the leads with those guys at the resort; we're just waiting for you to close the net."

"No rush."

Fu Huaiyan's tone was indifferent, and his eyes showed no emotion.

"Let them run wild for a few more days."

Lu Yun Shen rolled his eyes, then suddenly changed the subject, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"But your cheap wife has really made a name for herself today."

"Most of the top bigwigs are backing her up; she has the most impressive connections."

"The worst part is that they didn't appreciate your kindness at all, publicly refused your gift, and made it clear that they wanted to distance themselves from you."

As he spoke, he leaned forward, lowered his voice, and asked slyly.

"Fu Huaiyan, tell me honestly, seeing how dazzling she is now, are you tempted?"

Xie Xingzhou immediately responded, his tone wary.

"Huaiyan, let me tell you, this woman is definitely not simple."

"She was able to quietly win over a group of big shots to her side, and they all stood up for her and spoke up for her."

"You'd better hold on tight, or you'll end up getting yourself into trouble."

Jiang Yining has absolutely no credibility with him.

The most ruthless women are those who remain calm and collected, never revealing when they will strike.

Fu Huaiyan lowered his eyes and didn't respond to their conversation.

He opened the documents at hand and began working as if nothing was wrong.

Xie Xingzhou and Lu Yunshen exchanged a glance.

They both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Is this a sign of caring?

Or do you not care?

Xie Xingzhou sighed, stopped joking, and said seriously.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. This exhibition has a special section for psychological counseling."

"I heard that Elder Ye knows a reclusive top-level psychological expert and speaks highly of that person."

"Yun Shen and I both want to ask him to introduce Miao Yin to an in-depth medical consultation."

Lu Yunshen's expression darkened, and he added a sentence.

"Miaoyin's mental state has been getting worse lately, and if left unchecked, she will only become more paranoid."

"Then you two will waste time arguing and wasting each other's time. You've already missed seven years; don't miss out again."

Fu Huaiyan raised his eyelids slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I will find the person, but only to treat the illness, nothing more."

"Nothing else."

-

clinic.

Jiang Yining was so busy she barely had time to breathe.

Since opening, the phone has been ringing non-stop from morning till night.

Ji Shu relaxed, nestled on the sofa with her phone in hand, scrolling through online discussions, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"It's good that these reporters knew what was good for them; no one dared to make unfounded claims and sensationalize the issue."

"Ningning, go check online! It's all praise for you and your clinic. Your reputation is soaring!"

Jiang Yining smiled slightly upon hearing this, but said nothing.

Ji Shu reached out and brushed the paw of the pure gold lucky cat on the table, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Ningning, I won't bother you anymore. This is the path you should take."

"I'm going to get back to work at the front desk now; we have to seize this opportunity."

Jiang Yining nodded and continued to focus on her work.

When she looked up again, it was already dark outside the window.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Sun Zhenping pushed open the door and entered.

Jiang Yining was slightly surprised and stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Sun? It's so late, what brings you here?"

Sun Zhenping waved for her to sit down, then took his own seat and got straight to the point.

"You know that Jiangcheng is hosting a top-tier national industry summit in three months, right?"

Jiang Yining nodded.

She had heard about this summit before.

Held every three years, it brings together top figures from various industries.

The event was far more prestigious than any ordinary banquet hosted by a wealthy family.

The recent citywide security upgrades are in preparation for this.

However, Jiang Yining was well aware of the situation.

That door was never open to her.

She had considered having Fu Huaiyan take her with her.

But he refused coldly, not giving her a chance to speak at all.

"Mr. Sun, I will prepare well for the next exhibition."

Jiang Yining looked up at Sun Zhenping, her expression unchanging.

People have to take things one step at a time.

"This year's summit added a special psychological support program."

Sun Zhenping looked serious and continued speaking.

"Psychological problems among high-level people have become increasingly serious in recent years. This exchange program is an excellent platform for you to make a name for yourself."

"Yining, I can recommend you to attend the conference."

Jiang Yining's fingertips paused.

My heart felt like it had been squeezed tightly and then released.

She should have stood on a higher stage back then.

If it weren't for that incident...

Seeing her silence, Sun Zhenping made his point clear.

"Yi Ning, I came to see you because I hope you will think it over carefully. There's no need to rush to answer."

"This opportunity is more dangerous than promising."

"If something goes wrong, no one can protect you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yining suddenly raised her head.

Her eyes were remarkably clear, without the slightest hesitation.

"I'm willing to go, thank you for the recommendation, Mr. Sun."

Sun Zhenping was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting her to be so decisive.

"Aren't you going to reconsider? The waters here run deep, and without connections, you'll face immense difficulties."

Jiang Yining shook her head slightly, a slight smile curving her lips.

How bad can it be?

I was almost killed back then.

In the end, it still led her to where she is today.

This opportunity is not only for her, but also for her mentor.

"I've thought it through."

Jiang Yining's voice was soft, yet full of power.

"It's time for me to take back everything that's rightfully mine."
