Regretful Beijing Marriage

Shen Miaoyin froze, the last trace of her smile shattered, and her eyes quickly reddened.

"Dad, even you're not on my side?"

"Do you know how badly Jiang Yining bullied my mother and me?"

Qin Zhengtao frowned, his expression calm to the point of being cold.

"That's why I came here in person today, precisely because I understand this."

He looked at the stubbornness in Shen Miaoyin's eyes and said with disappointment.

"You idiot, what do you think Old Mrs. Fu's attitude is towards you?"

"She already strongly dislikes your constant pressure, and you insist on coming up to her today. Do you really think you can get a good look from the Fu family?"

Shen Miaoyin's fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white, and she bit her lip hard, refusing to admit defeat.

"Am I just supposed to suffer in silence? Jiang Yining is here today; I can't let her steal the spotlight so easily!"

Qin Zhengtao, too lazy to listen to her sulking any longer, interrupted her coldly.

"Stop being so petty. Now that I'm here, I won't let you and your mother be bullied."

His tone was slightly gentler, but it left no room for argument.

"I have already advised your mother that she will not be showing up anytime soon."

"As for you, stay put."

"Go visit your brother when you have time; he probably won't make it through the next few days."

"Is Shen Tianzhen beyond saving?!"

Shen Miaoyin's expression changed drastically, and a surge of rage welled up in her eyes.

"If Jiang Yining hadn't interfered, Wen Junshan would have definitely taken action!"

She lost control of her emotions, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Zhengtao's collar, her eyes bloodshot.

"Dad! You absolutely mustn't let Jiang Yining get away with this!"

"She ruined everything I had, and she even tried to kill my brother!"

Qin Zhengtao remained calm, brushed her hand away, and said firmly.

"You don't need to tell me, I certainly won't let her go."

He raised his hand and touched Shen Miaoyin's hair.

"Miaoyin, remember this: in my entire life, I have only one wife, your mother, and only one daughter, you."

"Anyone who stands in your way, Dad will clean them up one by one."

As evening fell, guests gathered and the birthday banquet officially began.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the rustling of clothes, the atmosphere was vibrant and lively.

Even amidst the crowd, Shen Miaoyin remained the center of attention.

So what if there's a temporary turmoil?

Everyone knew that as long as Fu Huaiyan protected Shen Miaoyin, she would be the most honored.

However, this time Shen Miaoyin composed herself, always remembering Qin Zhengtao's instructions.

She forcefully suppressed her anger, wearing a polite and faint smile, and kept a low profile while socializing.

During the meal, someone casually flattered her, vaguely calling her Mrs. Fu.

Shen Miaoyin's smile widened, neither denying nor clarifying.

Even if she isn't the main character at tonight's banquet, it certainly won't be Jiang Yining.

Her father only told her to keep a low profile, but he didn't say she couldn't show up.

She was wearing the same clothes as Jiang Yining.

And her clothes were bought by Fu Huaiyan.

She won't even need to say a word; others will naturally gossip.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, all the lights in the room went out.

In the center of the stage, a beam of warm light slowly illuminated.

With the help of Fu Chenyue and Zhou Jin, Old Madam Fu slowly walked onto the stage.

She was dignified and had a commanding presence.

"Thank you all for coming to my grandson Fu Huaiyan's birthday banquet."

Everyone offered their congratulations.

At this moment, the lights at the second-floor entrance turned on again.

Fu Jiayu's small figure stood in the middle.

He held Fu Huaiyan's hand in one hand and Jiang Yining's hand in the other.

The three of them walked down slowly side by side.

Fu Huaiyan was wearing a bespoke black haute couture suit.

The clean lines and sharp tailoring perfectly accentuate her tall and slender figure.

Her shoulder and waist proportions are just right, exuding a noble and aloof air.

Every gesture he makes exudes the air of someone in a superior position.

Jiang Yining, standing beside him, stunned the audience in a haute couture gown.

Her makeup was exquisite and elegant, and her temperament was clean and noble.

Beauty is serene and dazzling.

The guests downstairs immediately erupted in gasps of surprise.

"My God, I recognize this dress! It's a rare, limited-edition piece by a foreign designer; you can't buy it even if you have the money!"

"So this is President Fu's wife? There have always been rumors that she comes from an ordinary background and is not respectable, but seeing it with my own eyes now, it's all nonsense!"

"I recognize her! Isn't she the president of Ningxin Clinic who became famous recently?"

The discussions were layered upon layered.

"The Fu family previously issued a statement distancing themselves from Ms. Shen, but Mr. Fu is making such a high-profile appearance with his wife today. Does this mean he intends to officially acknowledge her status?"

"What about Miss Shen? Everyone previously assumed she was the future young mistress of the Fu family!"

Upon hearing this, those nearby who knew the situation immediately whispered a warning.

"Don't talk nonsense! How dare we discuss the affairs of the Fu family? Be careful what you say!"

These words reached Shen Miaoyin's ears without missing a single one.

She stood in the crowd, her fingertips digging tightly into her palms.

She never expected that Fu Huaiyan would go to such lengths to find a rare, high-end custom-made dress for Jiang Yining.

The dress she was wearing that she had requested was simply a joke!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three walked to the center of the hall.

Fu Jiayu was overjoyed and grabbed the two of them's hands, trying to lead them onto the stage.

Jiang Yining withdrew her hand, paused, and stood below the stage.

She was only willing to attend today because of the old lady.

I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

But once the fire happened, she didn't want to put up with it anymore.

She divorced Fu Huaiyan and no longer cared about his acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Fu Jiayu lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Fu Huaiyan was not surprised by Jiang Yining's actions.

He stepped to the center and calmly delivered a few polite, official remarks of thanks.

After the speeches, the banquet officially began.

Fu Huaiyan naturally stepped off the stage and returned to Jiang Yining's side, quietly staying by her side.

Everyone present was a seasoned and shrewd individual, and observing the subtle way the two interacted, they were filled with speculation.

No one knows what President Fu is really thinking.

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Jiang Yining was by Fu Huaiyan's side on such an important occasion is enough to prove that her status is not to be underestimated.

The guests who came forward to offer their congratulations were very courteous, but they chose a compromise and only greeted Fu Huaiyan.

No one dared to casually address Jiang Yining as Madam Fu.

Jiang Yining was extremely satisfied with this and stood quietly to the side, willing to be invisible.

Just then, a wealthy foreigner who had traveled from afar stepped forward.

His Chinese pronunciation was awkward and stiff. His gaze fell on the graceful Jiang Yining, and he asked Fu Huaiyan with a smile.

"Mr. Fu, may I ask who this beautiful lady is? Aren't you going to introduce her to us?"

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, about to speak first, when Fu Huaiyan spoke first.

"This is President Jiang Yining, founder of Ningxin Clinic, and also the core person in charge of Kangtai Brain Experiment Project."
