Regretful Beijing Marriage

Fu Huaiyan paused, his fingers holding the glass still.

His gaze remained indifferent when he looked up.

Without anger or agitation.

It was as if they weren't talking about themselves.

Xie Xingzhou's eyes widened, and his voice rose several notches.

"Cheating? Jiang Yining really dares to do such a thing behind Huaiyan's back?"

"I don't believe it. She used to love Huaiyan so much that she was humbled to the bone, giving her all and revolving around him. How could she turn around and retaliate in this way? Could it be that she's trying to get Huaiyan's attention?"

Lu Yunshen chuckled, "If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes and taken a picture, I wouldn't have believed it either."

As he spoke, he opened his phone's photo album.

He handed the two of them the photo he had just taken of Zhou Xubai protecting Jiang Yining and supporting her waist.

"She was intimately close to another man in public without any restraint. She had no sense of propriety whatsoever as Mrs. Fu. It was obvious that she had never taken Huaiyan seriously from beginning to end."

Xie Xingzhou glanced at the photos, his expression turning completely cold.

"She's disgusting and scheming. She pretends to be aloof and well-behaved in public, but she's actually so despicable behind people's backs. She even acted pitiful before, but it was all an act. She was the one who was restless first, and then she targeted Miaoyin at every turn."

Lu Yun Shen turned to look at Fu Huai Yan, who had remained silent. "Huai Yan, having witnessed all this, what are your plans to do?"

Fu Huaiyan slowly withdrew his gaze from the photo, his expression nonchalant. "As long as she doesn't cause a big fuss, let her be."

indifferent.

Extreme cold!

Xie Xingzhou's indignant anger vanished instantly.

Looking at Fu Huaiyan's expressionless profile, a strange sense of sympathy for Jiang Yining arose in her heart.

Her husband didn't care about anything about her.

Which man in the world doesn't have possessiveness or male chauvinism?

Even if you don't like it, it's still your own person, and if someone else invades your territory, you should react.

But Fu Huaiyan didn't.

Jiang Yining was not even a stranger to him.

With all this, how could she possibly compete with Shen Miaoyin, whom Fu Huaiyan cherished so dearly?

-

"That's all for now, we can't eat any more."

Jiang Yining is not particular about food.

After putting away the menu, Zhou Xubai looked intently at Jiang Yining.

"Ms. Jiang, let me be frank. I want to establish a long-term partnership with you, allowing your psychological clinic to take over all of our law firm's psychological counseling work."

"We handle a large number of disputes every day. Although many victims win their cases, the litigation process causes great psychological trauma. I hope to help them truly win."

"I not only want to help them win the lawsuit and get the compensation, but also want to help them get out of the psychological trauma and return to a normal life completely."

Jiang Yining was startled by the sound, and a sense of resonance arose in her heart.

My mother was deceived by that scumbag back then, and she was physically and mentally exhausted, leaving her with lifelong psychological trauma.

It was also because of her mother that she switched to studying psychology.

After gaining in-depth experience in this industry, Jiang Yining has a deeper understanding.

There are too many pitiful people in this world.

They were forced by life and their environment to become what they are today.

But nobody understands them.

Everyone who came into contact with them said they were crazy.

But Jiang Yining knew that they were just sick.

She has always wanted to establish a deep partnership with the Zhengli Law Institute to protect these vulnerable groups.

After all these years, it's surprising that someone else shares the same thoughts as her.

At this moment, Jiang Yining's fondness for Zhou Xubai deepened a little.

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Zhou Xubai thought she had some concerns, so he quickly spoke up.

"Ms. Jiang, you don't need to answer immediately. You can take your time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry."

"No need to think about it, I agree."

Jiang Yining answered crisply and decisively.

Now it was Zhou Xubai's turn to be surprised.

He frowned slightly, carefully considering his words before speaking.

"Ms. Jiang, you don't need to act impulsively. I know you want to get out of your current predicament, but with my current abilities, I can't directly help you solve the problems in your marriage."

He paused, then realized there was ambiguity and added.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just didn't want you to have too high expectations, only to be disappointed in the end."

Jiang Yining smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.

"Mr. Zhou, I understand. You don't need to worry. We are simply cooperating for mutual benefit. What I need is not for you to help me get out of the marriage, but for the law firm's legal assistance."

"My clinic is in the expansion phase, and there are too many clients with extreme emotions. Many difficult disputes cannot be handled by me alone. I need a professional lawyer to provide assistance. We each get what we need, that's all."

Zhou Xubai smiled with relief and reached out his hand.

"Ms. Jiang, your insightful and calm demeanor has truly impressed me. It's been a pleasure working with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Jiang Yining raised her hand to shake his.

While she was eating, Jiang Yining's phone suddenly rang.

Zhao Jia's panicked voice came through, "Sister Ningning, something's happened!"

"The murderer who attacked us with a knife yesterday came to our door, insisting on seeing you. We couldn't stop him!"

Jiang Yining's expression tightened, and she immediately stood up. "Don't disturb him, I'll rush back to the clinic right away."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xubai immediately put down his cutlery. "I'll take you home. It's hard to get a taxi now."

Jiang Yining did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

The two quickly left the private room.

Just as they reached the hotel lobby corridor, they bumped into Fu Huaiyan and his group.

Shen Miaoyin skipped and hopped to Fu Huaiyan's side, her posture intimate and delicate, behaving exactly like the rightful mistress of the house.

She looked up at the man and said coquettishly, "Ah Yan, I'm so grateful that you came over yesterday to help me deal with the aftermath. I was really scared and didn't know what to do."

She then pouted, looking aggrieved, and said with a hint of complaint, "You guys never invite me to your private gatherings. Are you all starting to deliberately exclude me?"

Jiang Yining stopped in her tracks and met Fu Huaiyan's cold gaze.

Eyes facing each other.

The man looked calm and casually looked away.

don't care.

Lu Yunshen and Xie Xingzhou exchanged a glance and deliberately raised their voices.

"Miaoyin, how could we dare to ostracize you? We're just afraid that you haven't fully recovered yet, and Huaiyan will get angry then."

"Yes, we were planning to visit you after the party, but we didn't expect you to come looking for us yourself."

Shen Miaoyin's eyebrows curved into a smile as she glanced triumphantly at Jiang Yining, who was frozen in place.

"I already heard that Ah Yan has to bring a female companion to the banquet tonight, so of course I have to come."

Xie Xingzhou raised the corners of his lips, "Of course, among everyone here, only you are worthy to stand next to Huaiyan."

"Xingzhou, you're getting better and better at talking."

Shen Miaoyin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her gaze seemingly glancing at Jiang Yining.

Fu Huaiyan remained silent throughout the entire process.

He neither denied nor responded.

But everyone knew that he was tacitly agreeing.

Jiang Yining lowered her gaze, her fingertips clenched tightly into her palm, her nails digging into her flesh, causing a sharp pain.

How ironic.

She was Fu Huaiyan's legally wedded wife.

However, Fu Huaiyan's friends all tacitly agreed that Shen Miaoyin was his bedmate.

She seemed more like a superfluous and obstructive third party.

It was embarrassing and awkward.

Even though she had long since made up her mind to divorce him and had no feelings for this man anymore.

At this moment, Jiang Yining still felt that her last remaining dignity had been trampled underfoot by everyone.

There is nowhere to hide.

Zhou Xubai keenly sensed her emotions.

He subtly stepped aside, blocking the mocking and sarcastic gazes. "Miss Jiang, let's go first."

Jiang Yining nodded, a warmth rising in her heart.

Regardless of Zhou Xubai's motives for helping her, at this moment, his act of shielding her from all humiliation is exactly what she needs most.

She didn't want to stay there and humiliate herself.

Just as she was about to turn and leave with Zhou Xubai, a large, well-defined hand grabbed her.

Fu Huaiyan's deep, cold voice rang out above her head.

"Don't forget tonight's dinner."
