Regretful Beijing Marriage

This may be the last time she intervenes.

Since she was going to leave, she wouldn't let herself be soft-hearted.

Fu Jiayu couldn't understand the meaning behind the words.

He pouted, his eyes brimming with tears.

"But it's too hot inside..."

"If you're sick, then stop crying. You're making a scene, torturing yourself, and what's the point of torturing others too!"

Jiang Yining didn't soften her heart. She turned around, picked up the fever-reducing medicine that had been prepared on the table, and handed it to Fu Jiayu's lips.

"Drink it."

The pungent smell of medicine spread.

Fu Jiayu instinctively turned his head away, his face full of resistance.

"The medicine tastes too bitter, I won't drink it."

Jiang Yining did not move.

"Two choices: either take your medicine and relieve the pain."

"Either you endure the pain or you don't cry, the choice is yours."

The old lady couldn't bear to see her great-grandson being wronged, so she quickly stepped forward and gently coaxed Fu Jiayu.

"Great-grandson, be a good boy and take a sip. Your headache will be gone right away after you drink it."

Jiang Yining didn't give in. "If you don't drink, I'll just throw up."

"Don't pour it, I'll drink it."

Fu Jiayu pinched his nose and swallowed the medicine in small sips.

But the medicine tasted too bitter, and his chest churned halfway through drinking it.

I immediately wanted to bend over and vomit.

Jiang Yining reached out and firmly supported his back, forcefully forcing him to drink the remaining half bowl.

"Hold it in, spitting it out means you've drunk it for nothing, and you'll have to drink a second cup anyway."

After finishing the drink, Fu Jiayu immediately broke down in tears.

"What disgusting medicine! I hate you all! Great-Grandma, you don't love me anymore."

These words made the old lady even more distressed, and she hugged Fu Jiayu and comforted him.

Jiang Yining remained calm, took out a fruit candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The refreshing sweetness instantly washes away the bitterness.

Fu Jiayu's crying subsided.

He sucked on the candy, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

Aunt Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Madam who has the best way to manage things; only you can keep the young master in check when he throws a tantrum."

The old lady snorted coldly as soon as she finished speaking.

She leaned on her cane and looked at Jiang Yining with dissatisfaction.

"If she really knew how to discipline him, my great-grandson wouldn't be sick."

"Your son is so young, sleeping in his own room, can't you even get up once in the middle of the night to check on him? You blame everything on the child, what kind of mother are you?"

"If you had just paid a little more attention at night, kept the doors and windows closed, and made sure he didn't eat cold drinks, the child wouldn't have caught a cold and developed a fever. In the end, it's all your fault as a mother."

A bitter taste rose in Jiang Yining's throat; her heart was already riddled with holes.

She used to take care of the child meticulously, day and night.

I got up countless times during the night to check my temperature and tuck the blanket in.

I strictly control my son's intake of raw and cold snacks, for fear that he might feel even slightly unwell.

But her wholehearted care and protection couldn't earn her son's dependence.

You can't win back the respect of your family.

Everyone took it for granted.

The slightest oversight, and all the blame falls on her alone.

Sincerity can never be reciprocated!

Jiang Yining suppressed the bitterness in her heart and did not offer any explanation.

She pressed down on Fu Jiayu's shoulder and spoke calmly to the family doctor who was waiting nearby.

"The medicine works slowly, so we'll just give you an injection to cure the fever completely."

Upon hearing that he needed an injection, Fu Jiayu began to struggle again.

"I've already taken my medicine! Why do I need another injection?! I don't want an injection!"

"Medicine can only relieve the symptoms, it cannot reduce the fever; an injection is necessary."

Jiang Yining increased the pressure, "Doctor, please give me the injection directly."

Fu Jiayu has a delicate figure.

This cold came on fiercely.

Medication alone can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Delaying treatment will only worsen the condition.

The doctor took out the syringe.

As the needle slowly approached, Fu Jiayu turned pale with fright.

He burst into tears and struggled frantically with his hands and feet.

The old lady felt heartbroken seeing this and hesitated.

"The child is afraid of pain, so why don't we postpone it for a day and observe further?"

"We can't delay."

Jiang Yining's attitude was firm.

"You really are a bad mother! Great-Grandma said she didn't want me to get the shot anymore, but you still forced me to get it. You're so mean!"

With the old lady's support, Fu Jiayu struggled even harder.

Jiang Yining was unable to control herself for a moment.

"obedient!"

"No way!"

As the needle was about to be inserted, Fu Jiayu cried and shook off Jiang Yining's hand, then ran outside.

"I don't want my mom! I don't want a shot! Aunt Yinyin never forces me, I want Aunt Yinyin!"

These words struck Jiang Yining hard.

She subconsciously let go, her body stiffening on the spot.

Caught off guard, the doctor accidentally pierced Jiang Yining's hand with the needle.

A slight stinging sensation came, but Jiang Yining did not react at all.

This pain is nothing compared to even one ten-thousandth of the pain in my heart.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Fu Huaiyan, dressed in a cold and formal suit, slowly walked into the bedroom.

Fu Jiayu pouted and immediately threw herself into Fu Huaiyan's arms.

"Daddy, I don't want a shot! Bad Mommy is forcing me to get one, it hurts so much..."

Fu Huaiyan frowned slightly, looked down at his crying son in his arms, and gave him two choices.

"If you're sick, you need medical treatment; you must get an injection."

"Either you cooperate with the injection and go out to play normally after you recover, or you refuse treatment and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Fu Jiayu shrank his neck. "Is there a third way?"

"no."

Fu Huaiyan picked up Fu Jiayu and walked to the doctor.

"continue."

The doctor quickly changed the needle.

Fu Jiayu dared not struggle any longer, shrinking into Fu Huaiyan's arms and trembling all over.

Even though I was terrified, I still obediently cooperated with the doctor and got the injection.

After the injection, Fu Huaiyan raised his hand and touched the top of his son's head.

"A real man shouldn't be afraid of injections?"

Fu Jiayu looked up, choking back tears, and offered a soft explanation.

"But Aunt Yinyin said that boys can be scared and cry too, and don't have to pretend to be strong all the time."

The old lady's face turned pale, and she tightened her grip on her cane slightly.

But with the child present, she could only suppress her anger and glare fiercely at Fu Huaiyan.

Fu Huaiyan remained calm and offered a few words of advice.

His gaze remained indifferent throughout, never once falling on Jiang Yining.

Ignoring someone is the most blatant form of alienation.

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes and suddenly realized that genes can be incredibly powerful sometimes.

She and Fu Huaiyan were clearly doing the same thing.

But the son was afraid of Fu Huaiyan and listened to him.

But when facing himself, he only felt resentment and dislike at being controlled.

Children are the best at reading people's expressions and moods.

Ultimately, it's because she has no status in this family.

But this is for the best.

Only by being devoid of feelings can she withdraw from the relationship gracefully.

Jiang Yining didn't say anything and walked out.

Before she could take two steps, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Fu Huaiyan.

He looked up, his gaze indifferent.

"Attend the banquet tomorrow night on time."
