Regretful Beijing Marriage

As Fu Huaiyan finished his introduction, not only were the people present stunned.

Even Jiang Yining was somewhat surprised.

She considered countless possibilities.

Perhaps Fu Huaiyan will deliberately distance himself and blur the relationship.

Or perhaps he would simply gloss over her existence.

But I never expected that he would introduce her in such a formal and prestigious capacity.

As soon as he finished speaking, the foreign tycoon's expression changed drastically.

Instead, there was utter shock.

He looked Jiang Yining up and down, praising her repeatedly.

"So you're the genius psychologist that President He went to great lengths to hire!"

"I am well aware that Mr. He's brain experiments have been stagnant in the industry for a long time, and no one has been able to crack them."

"Since you took over, we have made steady progress by breaking through the bottlenecks. I have always wanted to visit you and learn from you, but I have never had the opportunity."

"I never expected to meet you today, and I never imagined you, Mr. Jiang, would be so young!"

These words struck the room like a thunderbolt, drawing the attention of all the guests.

The industry celebrities present all turned their attention to Jiang Yining.

Everyone knows how much impact He Sze-tse's research has had on them.

Mental health issues have been a source of anxiety for them for many years.

If successful, it will bring about a revolutionary change.

And now, the person who can lead the experiment to success is right in front of us.

These dignitaries shed their previous observation and speculation, and were left only with awe.

"So you're General Manager Jiang! I've heard so much about you!"

"This experiment has stumped countless top experts in the country for years, and your ability to break through the deadlock at such a young age is truly admirable!"

"I hope to have deeper cooperation with President Jiang in the future."

The sudden crowd startled Jiang Yining, but she quickly regained her composure.

"You flatter me. I am merely exploring and advancing based on the research of my predecessors."

"The experiment is still in the critical stage, and there are no obvious results yet."

The more humble and low-key she was, the more respect she earned from everyone.

The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly enthusiastic.

Countless guests took the initiative to come forward and wanted to add Jiang Yining's contact information.

"President Jiang, a family member has been suffering from a chronic mental illness for many years. I hope you can help take a look."

"I earnestly request that Mr. Jiang take a look at this; a generous reward will be offered!"

"We have all witnessed President Jiang's capabilities."

In a short while, the main character of the banquet changed from Fu Huaiyan to Jiang Yining.

It's Jiang Yining, President Jiang!

Outside the banquet hall, Xie Xingzhou and Lu Yunshen stood side by side.

After a long silence, Xie Xingzhou, with a solemn expression, raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"I think I understand now. Fu Huaiyan isn't crazy, he's possessed."

"I thought he brought Jiang Yining to the event today just to appease the old lady, but now it seems that's not the case at all."

Lu Yunshen's gaze was deep and somber.

"Who can argue with that? This isn't filial piety at all; he's clearly using his birthday banquet to pour all his resources into personally expanding Jiang Yining's network of connections."

"After today, who won't know the name Jiang Yining?"

The two looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

As Fu Huaiyan's longtime friend.

They certainly understood Fu Huaiyan's personality.

But his actions now are truly incomprehensible.

Love is invisible, and there's no reason to compensate for it.

What is he after?

Lu Yunshen shook his head.

"Never mind, he knows what he's doing."

In the center of the banquet, Jiang Yining kept accepting friend requests.

My fingers were sore and numb, but people kept coming forward to cling to me.

She knew perfectly well that this title alone wouldn't be enough to make these people cling to it.

Ultimately, it was Fu Huaiyan who made the introduction.

With just one sentence, he elevated her status and position.

Why?

Before long, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Jiang Yining then looked up at Fu Huaiyan beside her.

She truly couldn't understand him, nor did she comprehend what he wanted to do.

Could it be that after the divorce, he started treating her differently again, acting like a jerk?

Before she could sort out her thoughts, Fu Huaiyan parted his thin lips slightly.

"It's compensation."

Jiang Yining understood almost immediately.

Although Fu Huaiyan managed to suppress the public opinion online, he couldn't silence everyone.

In order to quell the matter, he had no choice but to sever ties with Shen Miaoyin.

This also indirectly subjected her to a lot of criticism.

This so-called gesture of goodwill is nothing more than a disguised attempt to make amends.

Tell her to stop.

Did you think that giving her some nice things would shut her up?

You must be dreaming!

Jiang Yining quickly withdrew her gaze, picked up her wine glass, and turned away without saying a word.

The hall was noisy and chaotic.

She bypassed the crowd and stepped onto the second-floor balcony.

A gentle evening breeze dispelled the heat and cooled the temperature in Jiang Yining's eyes.

She stood by the railing, gazing downstairs.

She didn't see that person at all during the entire banquet.

Although she didn't know him, a strong intuition kept reminding her.

That person isn't inside.

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a noise behind me.

Jiang Yining turned around subconsciously, but suddenly froze.

A middle-aged man in a custom-made suit pushed open the door and entered.

He had an upright posture and a profound aura.

His eyes were long and narrow, sinister, and when they fell on her, they scrutinized her with a cold, venomous gaze that made her feel uneasy.

Jiang Yining had never met him, but the hatred surging in her bones was screaming wildly.

She was absolutely certain that this person was the culprit who had ruined her mother's life.

Qin Zhengtao approached step by step, his aura incredibly imposing.

He scrutinized her intently, his tone laced with disdain.

"You and your mother are really different. She was born weak and timid, and dared not utter a word when bullied. She could only be trapped in a small place and be manipulated by others for her whole life."

"But you, who were born, are not like her. You are like me, a capable person."

"It's truly remarkable that we've come this far."

These words were like a poisoned dagger, piercing deep into Jiang Yining's heart.

Years of pent-up hatred almost overwhelmed his reason.

She gripped the wine glass tightly with her fingertips, her knuckles turning white.

"What right do you have to say that? You scum! If it weren't for you, Mom wouldn't be in this state!"

"You ruined Mom's life, you'll never get away with this!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhengtao was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed mockingly.

"Jiang Yining, in the end you're still a child at heart, all you do is talk the talk."

These words filled Jiang Yining with boundless hatred; she wished she could kill him.

Now he can say these things to himself without any burden.

How did Mom cope with that scumbag for decades?

However, reason prevailed over Jiang Yining.

Now is not the best time to break off relations.

She exhaled, forcibly suppressing the surging anger within her.

He turned to leave.

"Don't rush off."

Qin Zhengtao stepped forward to block her path, looking down at her from his superior position.

"Let's talk. If you stop now and stay away from these things, I guarantee you'll be set for life."

"After all, half of my blood flows in your veins."

Jiang Yining, her eyes bloodshot, suddenly turned around and grabbed Qin Zhengtao by the collar.

"You dare mention bloodlines? You dare mention my mother?"

"If your mother hadn't given you everything she had back then, you would never have been able to leave the mountains!"

"You used any means necessary to steal her university spot, using sweet words to trick her into working and earning money to support your university education!"

"Do you think these things will never be exposed?!"
