Regretful Beijing Marriage

"Mother."

Fu Jiayu stared at Jiang Yining in disbelief.

In the past, whenever he bumped or bruised himself, his mother would always be the first to panic and come over to comfort him.

But now, even after calling her so many times, Jiang Yining hasn't responded.

Jiang Yining only came to her senses after typing a line of text.

She turned her head to look at Fu Jiayu behind her, whose forehead was flushed, and subconsciously wanted to touch it.

But the fingers abruptly stopped the movement.

There's no need to do anything unnecessary.

She looked away and offered a soft reassurance.

"It's just a minor scrape, nothing serious. The pain will subside on its own after a while. Keep the car moving and sit still."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xubai sent another message.

Her thoughts were pulled back, and she replied earnestly.

Fu Jiayu's eyes widened, filled with panic.

Whenever he bumped into something and got hurt, his mother would always hug him tightly the moment he was hurt.

Even if he was faking it, she would gently coax him.

But this time, he was truly in so much pain that he cried.

Jiang Yining didn't react much, only offering a light, perfunctory word of comfort.

Children are young and cannot understand or hide their emotions.

At this moment, Fu Jiayu felt only intense unease.

Mom is really angry.

He always felt like he was losing something.

He suddenly became very scared; his mother didn't want him anymore.

A tremendous fear gripped Fu Jiayu.

Fu Jiayu turned his head timidly and reached out to grab Fu Huaiyan's sleeve for help.

"Dad, does Mom really not want me anymore? Is she very angry?"

Fu Huaiyan gently patted his son's back, "Don't overthink it."

As he spoke, his deep, dark eyes remained fixed on Jiang Yining's face.

This was the first time in their seven years of marriage that he had gazed at her for such a long time.

Admittedly, her tactic worked.

She's ruthless to gamble with her son.

Jiang Yining was completely unaware of this, and even less aware that Fu Huaiyan had unknowingly added another mark against her.

But none of this concerned her.

She is focused on communicating with Zhou Xubai about the details of the follow-up psychological counseling.

The trauma from knife attacks is far more severe than it appears on the surface.

If the initial intervention is not adequate, it can leave a lifelong psychological scar.

Jiang Yining typed the words carefully.

Suggestions are provided based on the different levels of trauma experienced by different employees.

Jiang Yining only came to her senses after the car came to a smooth stop.

She put away her phone and prepared to get out of the car.

Suddenly, a small hand grabbed the hem of her clothes from behind.

Fu Jiayu looked up with his pale face, pleading softly with a sob in his voice.

"Mommy, my head hurts so much, and I feel unwell too. Can you carry me inside?"

You know your own son best.

He was truly in extreme pain this time.

Seeing her child's sickly appearance, Jiang Yining's heart trembled.

A slight, dull ache arose.

It's not so easy to give up flesh that's fallen from your own body.

But when disappointment accumulates enough, the heart dies.

Jiang Yining simply lowered her eyes, her expression unchanged, and gently pulled the hem of her clothes back from Fu Jiayu's hand.

"Your dad is here, let him hold you."

After saying that, she didn't linger, got out of the car, and walked straight into the villa.

Behind him, Fu Jiayu pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jiang Yining could sense her son's emotions.

He was in pain, and so was she.

She could accept Fu Huaiyan's indifference and ruthlessness with equanimity, after all, they were strangers, and she could accept that he didn't love her.

But Fu Jiayu was her biological son, whom she carried for ten months and endured excruciating pain to give birth to.

What mother doesn't love her child?

But this child repeatedly sided with Shen Miaoyin, repeatedly defying her, his biological mother.

Heartbreak never happens in an instant; it is built up from countless disappointments.

She will leave this marriage sooner or later.

In the past, when she had thoughts of divorce, she thought she could give up everything, but she had to keep her son.

But now, she has no more attachments.

Since we'll have to let go sooner or later, we might as well start now and gradually withdraw.

There's no need to invest unnecessary emotions.

"Mom is really angry."

Fu Jiayu only truly panicked at this moment.

He had never seen his mother so cold.

Although he always said he wanted Aunt Shen, he didn't really want his mother to leave.

Not knowing what to do, Fu Jiayu buried her face in Fu Huaiyan's arms and cried loudly.

"Dad, what should I do? I feel like Mom really doesn't want me anymore."

Fu Huaiyan got out of the car carrying his son, deliberately downplaying the impact of the incident.

"Don't overthink it. She's just busy with work and doesn't have the energy to get distracted."

Fu Jiayu always trusted Fu Huaiyan, and upon hearing his words, he immediately stopped crying and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a day of commotion, he was exhausted and obediently let Fu Huaiyan carry him inside.

Jiang Yining didn't have time to deal with the father and son.

By the end of the day, she was completely exhausted.

She changed her clothes, washed up quickly, and was about to go to bed.

The next moment, Fu Huaiyan carried Fu Jiayu and pushed open the door.

Fu Jiayu walked quickly to her.

He raised his wet eyes and carefully pulled her along.

"Mom, are you done with work now? Can I sleep with you tonight?"

My mother has always wanted to sleep with me.

Now that I've taken the initiative to speak up, she should be able to calm down.

Fu Jiayu's eyes were sparkling.

All emotions in one's heart are written on the surface.

Jiang Yining stood there, her heart churning with indescribable emotions.

My son has been unwilling to be close to me since he was a child.

He liked everyone in the Fu family and kept asking them to sleep with him.

The only thing they don't want to do is stick to me.

This was the first time her son had taken the initiative to approach her and the first time he had taken the initiative to rely on her.

It would be a lie to say that I was completely unmoved.

Ultimately, they are blood relatives.

The hardened heart that had just been forged now showed a crack at this moment.

Just then, Fu Huaiyan's phone rang.

He glanced at it only once before picking up his coat and getting ready to go out.

The two were very close, but Jiang Yining still saw the caller ID.

Shen Miaoyin.

There's probably no one else but her who could make Fu Huaiyan so anxious.

Seeing that Fu Huaiyan was about to leave, Fu Jiayu subconsciously reached out and grabbed his trouser leg.

"Dad, I want to go see Yin with you..."

Fu Jiayu immediately covered his mouth halfway through his sentence.

Mom is still angry, I need to coax her.

He withdrew his little hand, obediently retreated to Jiang Yining's side, and blinked.

"Mom, let's go to sleep, I'm sleepy."

Jiang Yining looked down at him, understanding dawning on her mind.

Even his son knew that Fu Huaiyan was in such a hurry to go out to see Shen Miaoyin.

Everyone in this family treats her like an idiot.

Fortunately, she has regained consciousness.

Jiang Yining calmly said, "Fu Jiayu, do you want to go? If you want to, then go."

Fu Jiayu was taken aback, then looked up at her blankly. "But Mom, I'm still sick, and it's already very late. Can I really go out?"

Jiang Yining nodded slightly, her gaze not falling on the child.

"From now on, you can decide what you want to do yourself; you don't need to ask me."

Who Fu Jiayu wants to see or cling to is none of her business.

His surname is Fu, not Jiang.

From then on, she had no son!

She doesn't want an ungrateful wretch!
