Regretful Beijing Marriage

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.

He Szeze spoke up at the right time to ease the tension.

"President Jiang, you are now the chief person in charge of the project. As long as the subject has no objection, you can decide on the multiple screening options yourself."

Jiang Yining didn't waste any more words.

Since Fu Huaiyan has already made his decision, he is only informing her now.

Shen Miaoyin's presence at most wastes her time.

But it will not affect the experiment.

This experiment can only succeed, it cannot fail!

Back in the lab, Jiang Yining immersed herself completely in the experiments.

She did not disclose the core raw data provided by her mentor.

He reviewed and rehearsed the entire process alone in his office.

The people's concerns were not unfounded.

This brain repair experiment is extremely difficult.

It also has a low tolerance for error.

Any slight deviation could lead to complete collapse.

She will never give out the core data!

Jiang Yining was so engrossed in the experiment that she didn't even have time to drink water all morning.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Su Zhiyan carefully opened the door and popped her head out.

"Sister Yining, it's noon. I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch."

"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you need to be well-fed to have strength."

Jiang Yining then took a moment to look up and check the time.

"Zhiyan, you go first, I'll be there in a bit."

Su Zhiyan said nothing more, closed the door and left.

Jiang Yining kept the last set of data in place until she archived it.

Only then did I finally look up from the formula.

She rubbed her aching neck and got up to go to the cafeteria.

As I turned past the tea room, two hushed voices drifted into my ears.

"Did you see that? Mr. Fu is so doting. He stayed by Miss Shen's side all morning during her rehabilitation treatment. You can't find another person in the whole city with that kind of patience and thoughtfulness."

"They were childhood sweethearts. If someone hadn't interfered back then, their child would have been running around by now."

"I heard that the old lady has already relented and will agree to let Miss Shen into the family as long as she recovers."

"Here's a little insider tip: I heard that President Fu's birthday party this week is all about announcing Miss Shen to everyone."

Jiang Yining did not stop.

He walked past the two men without changing his expression.

A chilling coldness resides within.

Regardless of whether what these two people said is true or not.

As long as Fu Huaiyan dares to bring Shen Miaoyin to the birthday party.

She dared to show her divorce certificate in public.

They completely severed ties with the Fu family.

Fu Huaiyan should thank her for doing this.

It allowed him to be with Shen Miaoyin.

Jiang Yining didn't think much of it and went to the cafeteria to get her food.

It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was crowded.

Jiang Yining didn't want to be treated specially.

Just as she was about to join the queue, the waiter carrying the hot soup in front of her suddenly slipped.

His body suddenly leaned forward.

The scalding hot soup spilled out of his hand.

It splashed hot water on her.

Jiang Yining's pupils contracted, and she instinctively dodged to the side.

However, the scene was crowded.

I was startled by this sudden scene.

The screams continued.

Jiang Yining felt a sudden push on her back, as if she was about to fall into the hot soup.

Caught in a pincer attack.

She didn't have time to react at all.

Watching the bowl of scalding hot soup flip over in mid-air.

It was about to come crashing down on me.

Jiang Yining instinctively protected her face, trying to minimize the damage.

However, the expected burning pain did not occur.

She only felt a tall figure blocking her way.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the porcelain bowl shattering and a muffled groan rang out simultaneously.

Jiang Yining suddenly looked up and met Fu Huaiyan's deep eyes.

A hint of emotion was suppressed in those unfathomable eyes.

He smoothed it out with incredible speed.

A chorus of gasps erupted from the surrounding crowd.

A crowd swarmed around, asking about Fu Huaiyan's situation.

The waiter turned pale with fright and kept apologizing.

Fu Huaiyan straightened up and glanced at Jiang Yining indifferently.

"Are you alright?"

As he spoke, Jiang Yining keenly noticed that his shoulder blade tensed up almost imperceptibly.

Before she could even speak, Shen Miaoyin, her eyes red-rimmed, squeezed out from the crowd.

She grabbed Fu Huaiyan's arm, her voice urgent and trembling.

"Huaiyan, how come you're alright! That soup was so hot, you must have been burned!"

"What will I do if something happens to you...?"

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked and kept crowding around to ask what was going on.

Jiang Yining was pushed back two steps.

He didn't even flinch at the sight of the two being so intimate.

She took a half step back, carried her tray, walked around the crowd, and went to the window to get her food.

Then I found a seat in the very corner and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Su Zhiyan quickly followed.

He grabbed her wrist and examined it thoroughly, his face filled with lingering fear.

"Sister Yining, you scared me to death!"

"Are you alright? What if that bowl of soup had spilled on you...?"

"fine."

Jiang Yining smiled slightly, not wanting to say more.

Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically.

"Of course it's alright, after all, it's President Fu who's in trouble!"

"Some people shielded someone from such a large bowl of hot soup, and some people don't even say thank you. Isn't that incredibly cold-blooded?"

Su Zhiyan raised her eyebrows, ready to retort.

Jiang Yining, however, held her hand down.

"Have a meal."

She didn't even look up.

The woman choked on her own breath.

In a limbo, neither here nor there.

The other person was still angry and muttered something under their breath.

"They really don't know what's good for them. I feel so sorry for President Fu..."

Jiang Yining slowly raised her eyelids, a faint smile playing on her lips.

His voice was neither too fast nor too slow.

"Fu Huaiyan himself didn't even care, but you're more anxious than the person involved."

"If you're so eager to show your concern, you should be keeping an eye on Shen Miaoyin, instead of coming here to seek validation."

Jiang Yining's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for those around her to hear.

All eyes at the table turned to him.

The woman's face flushed a deep purplish-red as she offered a defense, both ashamed and angry.

"I don't have those kinds of feelings for President Fu! Don't talk nonsense!"

"If you don't like it, shut up."

Jiang Yining calmly withdrew her gaze, picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, and put it in her mouth.

"Isn't it better to eat quietly?"

The woman's eyes reddened, and she burst into tears on the spot.

Her friend, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it and tried to persuade her.

"President Jiang, President Fu truly saved you. Even if you don't feel grateful, it wouldn't be too much to say something caring..."

Jiang Yining looked up, the smile in her eyes now completely gone.

"Is he dead?"

"If you really die, then come and let me know. I will definitely come to your door to send a wreath."

The noisy restaurant fell silent.

Everyone stared at Jiang Yining in disbelief.

It's like looking at a madman.

Let alone President Fu.

Even an ordinary person who saves a life should be thanked, right?

Jiang Yining really doesn't take President Fu seriously.

She's probably the first person to dare say that about President Fu in public.

No one dared to speak again, and their eyes all fell back to their own bowls.

Even breathing slowed down.

Su Zhiyan secretly gave her a thumbs up, suppressing a laugh.

"Sister Ning, what you said is absolutely brilliant."

This is how you should treat a scumbag.

Jiang Yining smiled slightly, finished her meal quietly, and returned to the lab.

The last part of the data has been checked.

When I looked up again, it was already afternoon.

Jiang Yining stretched and prepared to go back to the clinic for a check-up.

As she was leaving, a girl saw her and came over warmly.

"President Jiang, the high-precision instrument that President Fu recently purchased will arrive soon. Its precision is much higher than the one we used before, and it will be very effective in assisting experiments. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Before she could finish speaking, her colleague pulled her back and smiled apologetically at Jiang Yining.

"President Jiang, I'm sorry, she's new and doesn't know any better."

They then covered her mouth tightly and took her away.

"Are you crazy? Weren't you in the cafeteria at lunchtime?"

"President Jiang and President Fu don't get along. Putting them together, do you want the world to end?"
