Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining paused, then looked at Fu Huaiyan.

It's like the sun rising in the west.

This was the first time Fu Huaiyan had asked her to accompany him to a banquet.

Fu Huaiyan gave her the title of Mrs. Fu.

He never took her to any of the business district banquets.

This also made everyone aware of his stance.

He doesn't like her!

The reason I called her today must be because of the old lady.

Sure enough, the next moment, the old lady looked over with a deep gaze, and her anger lessened a little.

Jiang Yining showed no extra emotion, simply uttering a single word: "Okay."

After saying that, she subtly withdrew her wrist, avoiding his touch, and walked out.

She found dirty men disgusting.

Fu Huaiyan didn't care at all, as if pulling her back was just a casual gesture.

He looked away and patted Fu Jiayu's head.

"Lie down and rest well. You must listen to the doctor."

Fu Jiayu nodded listlessly, his voice hoarse and weak, "I understand, Dad."

The child was suffering from illness and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The old lady looked at her great-grandson's haggard sleeping face and felt a pang of heartache.

She gently tucked the blanket around the child and gave Fu Huaiyan a cold look.

"Come with me to the study."

The two entered the study one after the other.

The door closed, and the old lady gestured for Fu Huaiyan to sit down.

"Sit down, I'm old, I can't persuade you."

"Grandma is joking."

Fu Huaiyan remained calm as he helped the old lady sit down.

The old lady's gaze fell on his back.

"Is the injury on your back getting better?"

"I'm much better now, Grandma, don't worry."

The old lady nodded slowly and took a sip of tea.

"You left the old house late last night and didn't return all night. Where did you go?"

Fu Huaiyan's expression remained unchanged, showing no surprise at the old lady's question.

"Shen Miaoyin was injured in a sudden accident, so I went there to handle the aftermath."

A straightforward answer, without lies or prevarication.

The old lady immediately snorted coldly, but suppressed her anger and did not lash out.

"Fu Huaiyan, you are indeed honest, not even willing to tell me a single perfunctory lie."

"My grandmother has connections all over the city, so her whereabouts can't be kept secret. I have no reason to lie."

Fu Huaiyan remained expressionless.

It was his nonchalant attitude that ignited the old lady's anger.

She slammed her cane down hard. "So you're planning to let Shen Miaoyin drag you down for the rest of your life?"

"I admit that she saved your life back then, and our Fu family will remember that kindness."

"Over the years, our whole family has always accommodated her, and we've long since repaid the debt of saving her life! If it weren't for that accident back then..."

There's no need to dwell on the past.

Fu Huaiyan suddenly spoke, interrupting the rest of the conversation.

"I know what Grandma is worried about. I know what I'm doing and I'll handle everything."

The old lady looked at her stubborn grandson, utterly exhausted.

"Fu Huaiyan, tell me how you plan to handle this? Your so-called solution is to leave your wife alone in her empty house, forever living in resentment and humiliation?"

Fu Huaiyan paused, his fingers lightly tapping the table, his tone somewhat nonchalant.

"What did she say to you?"

The old woman let out a cold laugh, her disappointment deepening in her eyes.

"Do you still think Jiang Yining is spreading rumors? I didn't let Jiang Yining marry you because I liked her, but she has been married into the Fu family for seven years and is a qualified Fu family daughter-in-law."

"You should know the rules of our Fu family."

Fu Huaiyan listened quietly without refuting.

The old lady was furious when she saw him like this.

"Our Fu family may be incredibly powerful, but we're not so despicable as to bully a helpless woman! No woman in the world can tolerate her husband blatantly favoring outsiders!"

"Anyone else would have made a huge scene by now, but Jiang Yining has been patiently enduring it all."

After a pause, the old lady questioned in a cold voice.

"Fu Huaiyan, I'm asking you this today: do you want a divorce or not? If you agree, I'm willing to make an exception for you!"

After what happened with Tinglan, she thought a lot.

If you really don't love each other, it's better to break up as soon as possible.

A faint ripple crossed Fu Huaiyan's eyes.

But when she looked up again, she reverted to her usual indifferent demeanor.

"Grandma, I will not divorce Jiang Yining, I swear."

He can guarantee the integrity of the marriage, but he can't give us anything else.

This was also the promise he made to the old lady.

Since he was willing to marry her back then, he won't go back on his word now.

How could the old lady not understand what he was thinking?

She waved her hand weakly, "Never mind, you can leave now. I want to be alone."

Fu Huaiyan ultimately said nothing, only offering a few words of advice before turning and leaving.

The moment he stepped out of the study, the last trace of gentleness on Fu Huaiyan's face vanished.

His aura was extremely low as he gave instructions to Zhang Ma.

"Keep a close eye on Jiang Yining. Report every single conversation between her and her grandmother to me, without missing a single word."

Zhang Ma opened her mouth, "Actually, Madam..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Huaiyan turned and left.

He had no interest in listening to her gossip.

Zhang Ma sighed, ultimately deciding not to say anything more.

To be fair, after Jiang Yining came to the Fu family, she couldn't find any fault with her.

He remained well-behaved and didn't cause a scene that became public knowledge, even after Shen Miaoyin returned.

Such an unequal marriage is better off ending sooner rather than later.

Jiang Yining was completely unaware that Fu Huaiyan had once again added a mark against her.

The events of today have left her emotionally and physically exhausted.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

She went straight into the bathroom and took a hot shower.

After washing up, Jiang Yining felt much more relaxed.

Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to bring in a change of clothes.

She hesitated in the bathroom for a while, then simply wrapped herself in a bath towel and went out.

No one will come into the bedroom without knocking.

As for Fu Huaiyan, she wouldn't even consider the possibility of him coming in.

But as soon as Jiang Yining stepped out of the bathroom, she froze on the spot.

Fu Huaiyan sat upright on the sofa.

He leaned back on the sofa with one hand, his gaze shifting from his phone to her, seemingly casually.

Eyes facing each other.

Jiang Yining felt a pang of panic.

My instinctive reaction was to turn around and hide back in the bathroom.

Before she could make a move, Fu Huaiyan indifferently looked away.

If it doesn't concern you, your eyes remain completely unmoved.

Jiang Yining understood his emotions.

There was no passion whatsoever; he remained as indifferent as ever.

Jiang Yining abruptly stopped, feeling utterly embarrassed.

When they first got married, Fu Huaiyan didn't come back often.

People around her whispered in her ear that no man in the world could resist temptation.

At that time, she harbored unrealistic hopes.

Finally, on the day Fu Huaiyan was supposed to return, she mustered all her courage.

She went to his study wearing sexy lingerie.

Fu Huaiyan didn't even lift his eyelids once throughout the entire process, only coldly uttering a single sentence.

"Today is not my ovulation period."

One sentence plunged her into despair.

Their last shred of dignity was trampled underfoot.

That night, filled with shame, she fled in a disheveled state.

Now that seven years have passed, Jiang Yining has no desire to be sentimental.

She ignored the man on the sofa, picked up her clothes, and went back to the bathroom to change.

When she finished tidying her clothes and came out, Fu Huaiyan was already waiting for her at the door.

"We'll give you the entire Chenghui building, and give the top floor of Fuhui to Shen Miaoyin."
