Regretful Beijing Marriage

Having gone through so much, Jiang Yining was physically and mentally exhausted.

After saying goodbye to Ji Shu, he went home alone.

Ji Shu could see her weariness and didn't say anything more.

They only handed over a new mobile phone and a SIM card.

"I've already bought you a phone and got you a new SIM card. I haven't turned it on, so don't look at it."

"Don't think about anything. Go back and get a good night's sleep. Even if the sky falls, we'll deal with it tomorrow."

Jiang Yining accepted it and thanked her.

After entering the room, she let her guard down and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

She slept very restlessly that night.

In her dream, she returned to her childhood.

My mother's youthful eyes and brows were bloodshot from lack of sleep.

Her thin shoulders trembled slightly as she hid in her room, sobbing softly.

"I'm sorry, Ningning. It's because Mommy was too weak and couldn't protect you."

Jiang Yining felt a sharp pain.

Then, the image distorted.

A torrent of harsh insults erupted.

"Jiang Wan, you're the mistress! How dare you steal my man! I'll make sure you and your daughter suffer a terrible death!"

"Jiang Wan, you wait, I'll make your daughter pay!"

Jiang Yining clutched her head in anguish.

She wanted to protect her mother, but she was powerless to do so.

The next moment, Shen Wan's well-maintained face appeared in front of her mother.

He raised his hand and slapped her.

Mom's head was knocked to the side.

She neither argued nor resisted, as if her soul had been drained.

With only a sliver of faith, he shielded young Jiang Yining behind him.

Jiang Yining was trembling with anxiety in her dream.

My throat felt like it was blocked by something, and I couldn't make a sound.

She desperately reached out to protect her mother.

My limbs felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't reach them no matter what I did.

A suffocating sense of powerlessness pressed down on me.

It almost crushed her chest cavity.

"No, don't bully my mom..."

Jiang Yining suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in shock from her dream.

At that moment, her pajamas were soaked with cold sweat.

The pillow was soaked.

The pain in my chest is still there.

Even breathing felt like being cut by a knife.

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with chilling coldness.

Mom, don't be afraid, I will make them pay the price.

She went to the bathroom and washed her face.

I came back and turned on my phone.

It was already evening.

She slept for a day.

At that moment, Zhou Xubai called.

Jiang Yining steadied her breathing and pressed the answer button.

"Yining, the audio evidence you provided is completely valid, and the hotel's surveillance footage has also been retrieved."

"Everyone involved in the plan that night will be held criminally liable according to the law."

Zhou Xubai paused for a moment, his voice becoming a few degrees deeper.

"Remnants of surveillance equipment were found at the hotel fire scene, but unfortunately they were severely damaged and the footage could not be recovered, so the person behind the fire cannot be identified for the time being."

"Give me a little more time, and I will make them pay the price."

Jiang Yining felt a slight sense of relief and thanked him softly.

"Xu Bai, thank you."

"By the way, how are you? Are you feeling alright? Is it convenient for me to come over and see you?"

Zhou Xubai's voice then rang out.

He seemed a little nervous, and had been agonizing over it for a long time.

early morning.

It's definitely not a good time.

However, Jiang Yining still had some things to figure out.

She sighed and replied.

"Okay, could you please come over here? I need to talk to you about something."

Twenty minutes after I hung up the phone, the doorbell rang.

She opened the door, and outside, besides Zhou Xubai, was Wen Junshan, who looked hurried.

As soon as the old man entered the door, he didn't even have time for pleasantries. He went straight to Jiang Yining's pulse, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Jiang girl, don't you even care about your own health?!"

"Escaping a fire and not staying in the hospital for observation? Do you know that many internal injuries are not visible at first glance?"

"Excessive inhalation of dense smoke has a very long incubation period, and without proper recovery, it can lead to lifelong health problems!"

Wen Junshan checked it repeatedly for a long time.

Only after confirming that his vital signs were stable did his tense expression slowly relax.

"Luckily, you have a good constitution, so your health wasn't damaged. You're lucky to be alive."

Jiang Yining felt a warmth in her heart and smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Professor Wen. I will definitely take good care of myself afterward."

That's what she said, but her breathing was unsteady and her face was deathly pale.

It's heartbreaking to see.

"You silly child, you didn't even come to me when something happened. If it weren't for Zhou looking for me, I would still be in the dark about this."

Jiang Yining knew the other person genuinely cared for her, and said, "I'll definitely pay attention next time."

Wen Junshan became even angrier upon hearing this.

"You want a next time?"

"Alright, Elder Wen, Ningning just escaped death, let her rest for a bit."

Wen Junshan then gave up.

"Let's put that aside for now. By the way, Ningning, do you have any suspects in mind regarding the fire?"

"This is no ordinary accident; arson is an extremely heinous act."

Jiang Yining's eyes turned cold. "Yes, it's Shen Wan."

Upon hearing this, Wen Junshan was instantly enraged.

"Old Master Shen was an upright and honest man his whole life, yet his illustrious reputation was ruined by his own daughter! What a tragedy!"

He remarked with emotion, "It's truly karma. Shen Tian is almost at his breaking point, yet she still has the mind to harm others. It's just a pity for the child."

Jiang Yining's eyes narrowed slightly as she quickly picked up on the key words.

"Old Wen, what happened to Shen Tian?"

"He's suffering from chronic poisoning," Wen Junshan sighed.

"The person who did this had a precise and insidious dosage of medicine, specifically targeting children's constitutions. Even adults might not be able to withstand it. It's a miracle that he's lasted this long."

"I've seen his condition; it's extremely bad, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."

Jiang Yining was not surprised.

She had witnessed firsthand the insidious nature of Shen Wan and Shen Miaoyin.

Now that Shen Tian's life hangs by a thread, they are still out there glamorous and doing evil.

They really don't recognize even their own family.

Jiang Yining then asked, "Professor Wen, I think you should have a way to treat this, right?"

Wen Junshan snorted coldly.

"There are solutions, of course. This kind of mixed chronic bone marrow drug has deep-rooted toxins. It requires the use of snow lotus in the medicine, and then a bone marrow transplant from a close relative is needed to have a chance of survival."

"But I have no obligation to save them. The Shen family brought this upon themselves, and whether they can be saved or not is their own business."

Jiang Yining didn't say anything more.

Shen Tian's life or death is none of her concern.

drop--

The pointer on the wall jumped to 3 o'clock.

Jiang Yining then realized how late it was.

She was extremely grateful that Mr. Wen came to check on her health late at night, and she didn't want him to be unable to rest and harm his health.

"Mr. Wen, it's getting late. Thank you for making this trip."

"You should go back and rest first. I'll be extra careful here."

After giving him repeated instructions, Wen Junshan turned and left.

Zhou Xubai got up and poured Jiang Yining a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

"Drink some water first. You don't look well. Don't overthink things. Your health is the most important thing."

Jiang Yining took the tea and sipped it, understanding the meaning behind Zhou Xubai's words.

But this fire also made her realize that she couldn't wait any longer.

Setting down her water glass, Jiang Yining looked up and said seriously.

"Xu Bai, I have two questions for you."

"First, is there any chance that this arson attack to cover up the crime will lead back to Shen Wan?"

Zhou Xubai shook his head. "It's difficult."

"They are extremely meticulous in their work, peeling back the layers of relationships. Even if they manage to find a clue, they will only push out a scapegoat in the end, without touching the core."

Jiang Yining was not surprised and continued to ask.

"My second question is, if I release all the evidence and sue Shen Wan, exposing that my mother is the original wife and Shen Wan is the homewrecker who broke up the family and is universally condemned, can I win this case?"

Zhou Xubai looked intently at Jiang Yining and said firmly.

"Yes, if you want to fight, I can help you win."

Jiang Yining's heart stirred slightly; how could she not understand his feelings?

The answer was completely opposite to what she had asked at the beginning.

He said no at that time.

Now he says he can, and he can win beautifully.

Jiang Yining knew that Zhou Xubai wasn't helping her because he believed in her abilities, but because he was determined to use his connections to help her.

He had already prepared everything, and was just waiting for her to nod.

"Thank you, but not now."

Zhou Xubai's lips moved, but Jiang Yining interrupted him first.

"Xu Bai, I've endured for so many years, what's a little more time?"

She looked up at him, her eyes flashing with coldness, her words sharp and piercing.

"But I will never let this go."

The night wind blew in through the crack in the door.

A cold wind blew, causing the stray hairs on Jiang Yining's forehead to sway slightly.

She sat on the sofa with her back very straight.

"Xu Bai, I need you to secretly spread the word so that everyone knows that the hotel fire last night was not an accident, but that Shen Wan was trying to silence them."

"Because she deliberately targeted me, she didn't hesitate to set fire to the building and massacre everyone."
