Regretful Beijing Marriage

Meng Yao's face turned pale and then green.

The fire in her chest was burning so intensely that she felt like she was about to explode.

But she couldn't tear it apart on the spot.

Jiang Yining, you're doing great!

He deliberately tricked her!

Meng Yao took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.

"What are you saying, Yi Ning? Of course I can afford to pay for this little bit of food."

"But since you've ordered it, let's not waste it. Your family lives in the countryside, you probably only grow vegetables, right...?"

"Don't worry, the portions aren't large; there are enough people to finish it."

Jiang Yining was too lazy to listen to Meng Yao's nonsense, so she raised her hand to signal the waiter to place the order.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the private room.

Most of those present were ordinary wage earners.

Even those with exceptionally good conditions can only earn a million a year.

Who would be willing to spend a million on a single meal?

But Jiang Yining didn't even blink, and immediately rattled off an exorbitant bill.

Even if Meng Yao is the most successful, she's not a sucker.

Does she know what status Meng Yao has now?

If you dare to cheat her like this, you can forget about ever working in this industry again.

In the dead silence, Jiang Yining spoke first.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Since it's a treat, we should have a good meal. There's no need to be so reserved."

Her gaze swept across the room, landing precisely on Wu Simiao, her smile slightly cool.

"Squad Leader Wu once said that I would never be able to eat the food here in my entire life."

"I'm so grateful for Meng's hospitality today, I must broaden my horizons and eat as much as I can."

Wu Simiao's face stiffened.

His face was extremely pale.

I never expected Jiang Yining to bring trouble upon herself.

Of all these classmates, Meng Yao is the only one worth talking to.

He absolutely cannot offend Meng Yao!

Faced with this difficult situation, Wu Simiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Class reunions are all about friendship. Who would be as ignorant as you, a country bumpkin who acts like he's never eaten before?"

Jiang Yining raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically.

"It's always good to try a few more bites of something you've never eaten before."

"Besides, given everyone's income, most of you probably can't afford these dishes anyway."

After he finished speaking, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.

They are all ordinary people.

A single dish here can cost thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Nobody would be willing to spend money on this.

These words were almost universally understood.

But Jiang Yining insisted on provoking it.

But they just can't deny it.

Jiang Yining looked around and sneered.

"It seems that none of you can afford this level of spending. You should have just said you couldn't afford it, instead of pretending to be rich."

She pretended to realize something and raised her hand.

"The menu probably hasn't been posted yet. I'll go ask the waiter to cancel the dishes we ordered."

"unnecessary!"

Meng Yao could no longer contain herself and almost forced the words out through clenched teeth.

"Eat as much as you want."

"I just don't know if some people can handle this blessing."

Jiang Yining smiled faintly.

"Then thank you very much, Meng. I've always been a lucky person."

"Look at today, we got to eat thanks to you, didn't we?"

These words made Meng Yao feel like she had punched cotton.

He was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

Next, Meng Yao deliberately isolated Jiang Yining.

Trying to save face.

Jiang Yining didn't care.

It's just a shady tactic.

Why bother arguing with them?

At this moment, Song Xi quietly moved next to Jiang Yining and whispered a reminder.

"Yining, they're cursing you like crazy in the group right now. I can tell from their expressions that they're up to no good. Be careful."

Jiang Yining remained calm and thanked him.

This group of people uses despicable methods.

No wonder.

I was too lazy to stay in the private room and continue the pretense of politeness.

Jiang Yining got up and walked out of the private room.

The corridor is very well ventilated.

The evening breeze drifted in, dispelling some of the gloom.

She went to a corner to get some fresh air, took out her phone to reply to work messages, and then...

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught sight of something around the corner of the corridor.

Meng Yao had her back to me and was talking quietly with a strange man.

She recognized the man.

Researchers in the laboratory.

He was later expelled by He Sze.

Meng Yao was really desperate to even find this person.

But she understands her.

It can't cause a big stir.

Let her run wild for a few more days.

Jiang Yining withdrew her gaze and was about to turn and leave.

His body suddenly crashed into a solid, warm chest.

A crisp, cool woody scent, mixed with the rich aroma of alcohol, wafts towards you.

The other person's wine glass swayed.

The wine was spilled all over the man's snow-white shirt.

Large, dark water stains spread out.

The impact caused Jiang Yining to lean back slightly.

I looked up and saw that face clearly.

It's Fu Huaiyan.

The man's business partner stepped forward and reprimanded him sternly.

"What's wrong with you? Can't you watch where you're going?"

Jiang Yining frowned and retorted with a cold look.

"The corridor is so wide, I walk straight and then turn around, but there are no eyes behind me."

"He was blind and bumped into me. I didn't even ask for compensation for the damage, yet you're being so aggressive?"

The partner's eyes widened in disbelief; they could hardly believe what they were hearing.

"You're incredibly rude! Do you even know who Mr. Fu is? Can you afford to pay for this custom-made shirt?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Jiang Yining sneered.

"Even if it were the King of Heaven himself, he was the one who bumped into me today."

I'm too lazy to argue.

Just as he was about to leave, his burning palm gripped her wrist.

That steadiness was so intense it felt like it was scalding.

Jiang Yining reacted instinctively and shook him off.

"Fu Huaiyan, please have some self-respect."

"If you believe it's my fault, you can always check the surveillance footage."

"It's really my fault, I'm willing to pay compensation, otherwise, you should apologize to me..."

The next moment, Fu Huaiyan handed the wine glass to the waiter and suddenly leaned close to her.

Cool fingertips brushed against the stray strands of hair at her temples.

Jiang Yining tensed up and cautiously retreated.

"What are you doing?"

"Shhh."

The voice was low and hoarse, and his breath brushed against her ear.

"The necklace is crooked."

Fu Huaiyan reached out and straightened her necklace.

The fingertips were warm, and the movements were gentle.

It brushed against her earlobe unintentionally.

A weight pressed down on my ears.

The warm sensation was fleeting.

Yet it leaves a slight tingling sensation in one's heart.

Before Jiang Yining could react, Fu Huaiyan's deep voice rang out again.

"These are earrings that went with the necklace from last time. You left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to give them to you."

They were pressed close together, their breaths mingling.

The light cast an ambiguous mist between the two.

The partner standing nearby was frozen in place.

I felt like I'd seen a ghost.

Having been in the business world for many years, I have never seen President Fu treat anyone with such gentleness and accommodation.

Jiang Yining's eyes grew even colder.

Just as he was about to push Fu Huaiyan away, he withdrew his hand and straightened up first.

He then glanced indifferently at his partner.

"I will consider the cooperation matter as appropriate. That's all for today."

Seeing Fu Huaiyan leave.

Jiang Yining felt a tightness in her chest.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Fingertips brushed against the earrings.

The blue earrings are exquisite and translucent.

It matches the neck necklace perfectly.

Since it's compensation for what she owes, she has no reason not to accept it.

Jiang Yining suppressed her emotions and prepared to return to the private room.

She had only taken two steps when a figure quickly blocked her way.

Meng Yao's eyes flashed with malice as she shook her phone.

"Jiang Yining, I saw it all."

"You just tried to seduce President Fu in public. If you don't want me to release these photos and ruin your reputation, then behave yourself."

"Behave yourself the whole time and don't say anything out of line."
