Regretful Beijing Marriage

"etc……"

Wu Simiao shouted out instinctively.

Before the sound could even be uttered, the luxury car disappeared into the middle of the road.

He stood there, stunned, his heart filled with shock.

He recognized that car.

Its market value is in the tens of millions.

Even if he has achieved some success now, he still can't afford such a luxury car.

The leap in social class is something that ordinary people like him cannot achieve!

How could Jiang Yining, a person from a rural background, possibly afford to sit in the passenger seat?

He must be seeing things.

Wu Simiao cursed under his breath and stepped on the gas.

"It's all this lousy clinic's fault, this unlucky thing, making me have all sorts of wild thoughts!"

-

Inside the luxury car.

Jiang Yining turned her head to look at Ji Shu beside her and said helplessly.

"Shushu, didn't I already tell you? There's really no need for this."

"It's just a regular class reunion, why did you bring this car out of your garage?"

Ji Shu smiled as if it were perfectly natural.

"Why not? Such a gorgeous dress like yours naturally deserves the most luxurious car."

"Besides, isn't a car meant to be driven? I was going to have dinner at this hotel tonight anyway."

"I was just giving you a ride because it was on my way. It's perfectly normal to drive my own car."

Jiang Yining remained silent.

He had a "I don't believe you" look on his face.

Feeling guilty under her gaze, Ji Shu immediately surrendered.

"Okay, okay, I'll confess! I promise I'll never meddle in your affairs."

"I won't show up unless you say anything, but you have to let me watch a show, right?"

"Life is too boring, I need to find some excitement."

Jiang Yining smiled and looked away.

"Eat your food properly. I'll call you when there's something interesting to watch."

Soon, the car stopped at the Grand Hotel.

The two got off the bus together.

Her striking outfit and exceptional demeanor drew all eyes to her at the entrance.

"My God, it's so beautiful, this is what a real high society looks like."

Some overconfident people tried to approach her, but were scared away by Ji Shu's cold gaze.

"This hotel has too many different levels; it caters to all sorts of people."

Ji Shu clicked her tongue, somewhat displeased.

How dare those ugly, deformed people come up here?

He doesn't even take a piss and look in the mirror.

Jiang Yining smiled and said, "Alright, that's enough. I'm going into the private room now. Remember what I told you."

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll pretend I don't know you if we bump into each other."

Ji Shu nodded and turned into another private room.

Jiang Yining pushed open the door to the private room alone.

The private rooms are spacious and luxurious.

Most of the students in the class were present.

Crowded.

Her appearance drew dozens of gazes.

Jiang Yining is wearing a top-tier haute couture gown today.

The necklace around the neck shimmers with light.

She was far more dazzling than everyone else present, despite their elaborate attire.

Many people looked blank, completely unable to recognize her identity.

Someone was the first to come to their senses and tentatively spoke up.

"Miss, did you come to the wrong room? This is a university reunion."

"Could it be that you're in our class?"

Others chimed in.

"Yeah, who are you? When did our class get such a pretty girl?"

"We must have gone to the wrong place. Is this hotel hosting some kind of banquet today?"

These words energized everyone.

"That must be it. I really want to go and see a real high-society banquet."

They are all ordinary people; they would never have actually seen a lavish banquet.

Everyone who came tonight was dressed to the nines.

But Jiang Yining stood at the door.

It was like accidentally wandering into a conference hall from a top-tier banquet.

The whole room seemed a bit duller.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a female voice suddenly rang out.

With an incredulous astonishment.

"You are... Yi Ning?"

Song Xi strode forward, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Yi Ning, it must be you! I didn't recognize you at all. You've changed so much, you're so beautiful and elegant."

Jiang Yining looked at Song Xi, her expression softening slightly.

"Song Xi, it's been a long time."

This statement ignited the entire audience.

Everyone found it hard to believe.

"What?! It really is Jiang Yining?! How is that possible?!"

"Seven years have passed, how could she have changed so much?"

"The clothes she's wearing must cost at least several hundred thousand yuan. She's doing so well now?!"

Exclamations of surprise filled the air.

Jiang Yining swept her gaze coldly over the crowd, a faint smile curving her lips.

"Why not? Seven years is a long time. I won't be like you, standing still and accomplishing nothing."

That was a very blunt statement.

He cursed almost everyone present.

Everyone looked embarrassed.

No one expected that Jiang Yining, who couldn't even argue properly seven years ago, could be so sharp-tongued now.

Just then, a woman walked over, her eyes almost overflowing with malice.

"Jiang Yining, what are you pretending for? You've only gotten more vain in the years we haven't seen you."

"Knowing I'd be embarrassed at today's class reunion, I specially borrowed a set of designer clothes to save face."

"Given your current situation, can you afford these? Would you like me to give you some?"

As she spoke, she shook her head with feigned regret, raising her voice.

"However, one should be careful when borrowing money to save face."

"Your outfit looks fancy, but it's all fake."

"Especially this necklace around my neck, the texture is rough, it looks like a fake glass product, it's incredibly cheap."

These words gave everyone confidence.

A torrent of mockery followed.

"So it's a fake. No wonder it looks so flashy and doesn't have any real luxury."

"Luckily, Sister Li is a rich second-generation and knows a lot, otherwise she would have been fooled."

"Trying to appear more important than you are, that's really shameful."

Jiang Yining paid no attention to these words.

He's just a clown jumping around.

She remembered the woman in the lead: Wang Li.

The dormitory head back then.

He was Meng Yao's most loyal lackey.

In the past, many people joined in slandering her.

Jiang Yining didn't say anything, but Song Xi couldn't bear to listen.

With a furrowed brow, he was about to step forward to explain when Jiang Yining pulled him to her side.

"It's alright, let them talk."

The louder they shout now, the harder they'll fall later.

Seeing that she did not refute, the crowd assumed she was feeling guilty and became even more unrestrained.

Song Xi was both angry and anxious, and lowered her voice.

"They're going too far. They're all so old, yet they act like they're still the same. Don't take it to heart..."

She paused, a look of guilt on her face.

"By the way, do you...do you have any money on hand? I just got paid, it's not much, but I can lend it to you for a while."

Jiang Yining turned her head to look at her, immediately understood, and asked in return.

"In your eyes, I can't even afford genuine clothes?"

Song Xi quickly waved her hand, her eyes slightly reddening.

"No, I just... I just feel guilty."

"I know that Meng Yao spread rumors and slandered you back then, but I was too cowardly to stand up and testify for you."

"I was too cowardly back then. I thought it was just a normal classmate conflict. I never imagined she was determined to ruin your future..."

"You must have had a very difficult time all these years, right? If I had been braver back then and stood up to clear things up for you, you might not have had to suffer so much injustice for nothing."

Jiang listened quietly.

I felt a pang of emotion.

The incident occurred when my mother was seriously ill.

She was exhausted and had no time to deal with it.

In the end, it was thanks to Old Madam Fu's intervention that the matter was resolved.

Because of this, she devoted her youth to the Fu family.

Seven years have passed, and she is determined to seek justice for herself!

Jiang Yining exhaled and said softly.

"It's not too late now."
