Regretful Beijing Marriage

This one word was firmly etched in Jiang Yining's mind.

She should have gotten used to it by now.

Throughout their seven-year marriage, Fu Huaiyan never cared about her feelings.

It's as if giving her material things is already a great favor.

Seven years is a long time; even raising a dog should generate some affection by then.

Not only did her husband not love her, but even her son thought other men were better.

Jiang Yining chuckled softly and turned off her phone.

People who aren't worth your time shouldn't be bothered.

Just then, Fu Huaiyan's assistant, Qin Yi, called.

"Madam, it's almost time for the family banquet. Please remember not to be late."

Jiang Yining's fingertips felt cold as she responded softly.

"understood."

Even something like this was only reminded by the assistant in a businesslike manner.

How ironic.

Fu Huaiyan brought his son to her clinic for the first time, not to pick her up after get off work, but to take away another woman.

Well, after seven years, she has finally come to her senses.

Let's take advantage of this family dinner to make things clear.

The moment I stepped out of the clinic, the sky had completely darkened.

The rain poured down.

Jiang Yining, holding an umbrella, looked at the 50 people waiting for her ride on her phone and had no choice but to walk towards the main road to see if she could hail a taxi.

But after walking for a long time, no empty cars were seen.

With the family dinner time fast approaching, Jiang Yining had no choice but to call Fu Huaiyan again.

Even if he hates her, he has to take her with him at times like this.

The bell rang again and again.

Just when Jiang Yining thought he wouldn't answer, the call was connected.

Jiang Yining suppressed her emotions and was about to speak when a woman's voice rang out.

"Jiang Yining, you really are just like your mother, a serial mistress."

Shen Miaoyin's voice was lazy yet arrogant.

"I thought I had made myself very clear, but I didn't expect you to still be so shameless."

"But I'm not as spineless as my mom. If you want to be a mistress, go ahead and try."

The next second, she deliberately dragged out her words and called out sweetly.

"husband……"

These two words, like a sharp sword, pierced Jiang Yining's heart.

They're not even divorced yet, and Fu Huaiyan is already so impatient.

It seems he doesn't take the Fu family rules seriously at all.

That makes sense, though. If the old lady hadn't forced him, he wouldn't have married her back then.

"My mom has a marriage certificate; she's not a mistress."

"And both your mother and you are mistresses."

After saying that, Jiang Yining hung up the phone.

The rain was getting heavier.

Most of her body was soaked.

A cold wind blew by, chilling to the bone.

Jiang Yining tightened her clothes and could only walk and try to flag down a car.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a car stopped beside her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Fu Chengxuan, Fu Huaiyan's younger brother.

He glanced at Jiang Yining casually and said distantly.

"Get in the car."

Jiang Yining thanked her softly.

Thank you.

She got into the back seat without saying a word.

She knew in her heart that no one in the Fu family had ever truly accepted her.

The entire journey was speechless.

After a long silence, Fu Chengxuan was the first to break it.

"Stay away from Sister Yinyin from now on. She's not in good health and can't handle any stress."

Jiang Yining stiffened slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes as she looked out the window.

This is the third person today to mention Shen Miaoyin in front of her.

Fu Chengxuan caught a glimpse of her cold expression and couldn't help but sneer.

"Sister Yinyin is a benefactor of our Fu family. She and my brother were childhood sweethearts."

"If she hadn't been seriously ill and gone abroad for treatment back then, you wouldn't have had the chance to marry into the Fu family."

"What's done is done, there's no point in saying more."

"Now that you've married into this family, behave yourself and be obedient. Don't do anything you shouldn't."

Jiang Yining pursed her lips, her expression turning cold.

"So, my mom deserved to be scammed and humiliated by a mistress?"

"I was your eldest brother's lawfully wedded wife. Does Grandma know that your Fu family is in such a hurry to elevate a mistress to a higher position?"

These words thoroughly enraged Fu Chengxuan.

A fierce glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he slammed on the brakes.

The car was parked in the rain.

The inertia caused Jiang Yining to lean forward and bump into the seat in front of her.

"Jiang Yining, you really are just as shameless as your mother."

"If it weren't for your mother's interference and sabotage back then, Yinyin wouldn't have suffered such a shock and gotten sick!"

"If you hadn't taken advantage of my brother's vulnerability and slept with him, then faked a pregnancy, Grandma wouldn't have forced him to marry you!"

"Is this what you want—to hear my brother calling out other women's names in bed?"

In an instant, Jiang Yining felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She could have pushed him away that night.

He called out "Yiyi" amidst the chaos.

That's a nickname that only a mother would call her.

This led her to mistakenly believe that he also had feelings for her.

It turns out he was calling for Yinyin.

Jiang Yining felt both absurd and exhausted.

She didn't want to say anything more, so she got out of the car.

Rain pelted my face, blurring my vision.

Before the wedding, she repeatedly asked Fu Huaiyan if he truly wanted to marry her.

At that time, she did indeed have ulterior motives.

My mother is seriously ill, and her biggest wish is to see her get married.

She had been in love with Fu Huaiyan for many years.

So when Fu Huaiyan nodded in agreement, she married him without hesitation.

She thought that she could develop feelings for him over time and warm his heart.

In retrospect, it seems that she was just deluding herself from beginning to end.

The next moment, Fu Chengxuan accelerated and drove away quickly.

Jiang Yining was soaked to the bone by the muddy water in the puddle, looking extremely disheveled.

A chill swept over my entire body.

Jiang Yining wiped her face, her fingertips turning white, and strode towards the Fu family's residence.

Half an hour later, she appeared at the Fu family's door, covered in mud.

The entire Fu family was present.

All eyes turned to her.

All of them were either contemptuous or just watching the show.

Jiang Yining spotted Shen Miaoyin next to Fu Huaiyan at a glance.

Meanwhile, Fu Jiayu was snuggling close to Shen Miaoyin, chattering and acting coquettishly.

"Aunt Yinyin, I want to eat shrimp later. I'm hungry. When can we eat?"

Shen Miaoyin glanced at me triumphantly and patted her son's head.

"Ayu, we can only eat when everyone is here."

Fu's mother, Zhou Jin, was the first to frown.

"Jiang Yining, if you don't know the rules, don't come back!"

Fu Chengxuan laughed gleefully.

"As expected of a country bumpkin, so petty."

Jiang Yining glanced at him indifferently and spoke calmly.

"The prestigious Fu family doesn't even have a chauffeur-driven car? Is this how wealthy families treat their guests?"

"Fu Chengxuan, is this how the Fu family raises you to deliberately splash mud all over me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Even Fu Huaiyan rarely looked up at her.

His unfathomable black eyes were filled with icy coldness.

Jiang Yining calmly looked away and nodded slightly to the old lady.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I'll go change my clothes."

She quickly changed her clothes, and when she came downstairs, the seat next to Fu Huaiyan was empty.

Fu Jiayu crossed his arms, his face full of resistance.

Jiang Yining ignored it and calmly sat down.

The Fu family does not have a rule about not talking while eating.

During the meal, the old lady inquired about her recent situation.

In the past, Jiang Yining would always take the initiative to speak.

But this time, she was unusually quiet, simply eating her meal in silence.

"Huaiyan is at peace. When we got married, we promised to have both a son and a daughter, and to be a perfect couple."

"Now that Xiaoyu is older, it's time to put a second child on the agenda."

The old lady's words made Jiang Yining stop what she was doing.

Fu Jiayu pursed his lips.

"Does my sister have to be born to Mom? I want Aunt Yinyin to give birth to her."

"Mom is too strict, I don't want my little sister to be like her..."

The atmosphere in the room froze upon hearing this.

Fu Chengxuan quickly covered his mouth and whispered.

"You brat, don't you want to get away with this? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Fu Huaiyan wiped his mouth elegantly, his voice calm.

"It's just kids talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

"I will make arrangements for a second child when I have time."

It was all business as usual, cold and rigid.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were handling a project worth hundreds of millions.

From beginning to end, no one cared about her opinion.

Jiang Yining sneered and gently put down her chopsticks.

"No need to make time."

"I will not have children."
