Regretful Beijing Marriage

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't talk, you need to rest."

A sinister glint flashed in Shen Miaoyin's eyes as she stepped forward to block Jiang Yining's view.

She grasped Shen Tian's hand and said deliberately.

"Don't be afraid, your sister is here. No one can hurt you."

Shen Tian forced a smile and comforted Shen Miaoyin.

"Sister, I know I've made you worry."

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Old Master Shen's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he turned away and wiped his tears.

He had been tough his whole life, never expecting his grandson to end up like this.

What terrible things did the Shen family do?!

Shen Sinian was also heartbroken; Xiao Tian's illness had always been a source of worry for the family.

He patted Old Master Shen on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Grandpa, everything's alright now. Xiaotian is fine and will be alright."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tian weakly raised his hand, "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't be sad."

"My child, you have suffered."

The Shen family gathered together, exchanging pleasantries and asking after each other's well-being.

From beginning to end, no one looked at Jiang Yining.

She was an outsider.

They were even enemies of the Shen family.

But Shen Tian...

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Shen Tian looked over and asked again.

Did you save me?

Jiang Yining's throat tightened, and she was almost unable to hold back her emotions.

But looking at Shen Tian, ​​who was weak and exhausted on the hospital bed, she clenched her fingers and forcefully suppressed all her emotions.

Shen Tiancai had just escaped danger and couldn't withstand the slightest stimulation.

After a long silence, she nodded, her voice hoarse and dry.

"it's me."

The ward suddenly fell into dead silence.

Shen Tian looked at her quietly, a mix of emotions flashing across his clear eyes.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"What do you want? If it's just money, then I'll thank you."

"If you're trying to use my life-saving grace to blackmail the Shen family and harm my family, then I'd rather not have this life."

These words ignited Shen Miaoyin's anger.

She suddenly stepped in front of Shen Tian and raised her hand to shove Jiang Yining.

"Get out of here! Don't bully my brother!"

Before she could even make a move, Old Master Shen lost his temper and blocked her away.

"That's enough!"

"Shen Miaoyin, your mother spoils you too much, raising you to be so unruly and unreasonable!"

"Miss Jiang is Xiao Tian's savior; this one relationship alone is enough to prevent you from being so presumptuous!"

Shen Miaoyin's eyes were red and her lips trembled as she tried to explain, but she was interrupted by Shen Sinian's cold and hard voice.

"Uncle, take Miaoyin down to rest."

"The ward needs quiet to rest and can't withstand noise."

A cold glint flashed across Qin Zhengtao's eyes.

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Yining a deep look.

The ward fell silent, the atmosphere oppressive and suffocating.

Jiang Yining took a deep breath and walked step by step to Shen Tian's bedside.

The bitterness in my heart erupted.

She instinctively reached out, wanting to touch his eyebrows and eyes.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Shen Tian's body stiffened slightly, and he subconsciously dodged backward.

There was obvious resistance in the area under the eyes.

"Even if you saved me, Miaoyin is still my only sister, my closest relative."

"If you hurt her, I can never be friends with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yining's hand froze in mid-air.

She pressed her reddened lips tightly together, her heart aching with pain and bitterness.

"Okay, you should get some rest."

She withdrew her hand, her voice trembling.

"There are some things I'll tell you after you've recovered."

After saying that, Jiang Yining could no longer control her emotions, quickly walked out of the ward, and sat down on the bench, exhausted.

She used to have a prejudice against Shen Tian because of the Shen family.

Upon closer inspection after learning the truth, it became clear that the boy's facial features were almost identical to his mother's.

This is the child that the mother gave birth to after nearly dying.

He is her younger brother.

If Chung Yi hadn't finally softened and told her, she might have lived with that misunderstanding for the rest of her life.

It might even indirectly cause the death of her only younger brother.

Jiang Yining was overwhelmed by a profound sense of powerlessness and collapse, which almost suffocated her.

Even now that the truth is out, she knows that Shen Tian has long been spoiled by the Shen family.

Deeply ingrained beliefs cannot be changed overnight.

These siblings, separated for over a decade, may never truly be able to get close.

A cold wind crept in silently.

Bone-chilling cold.

But it couldn't compare to the overwhelming feeling in my heart.

The next moment, a black coat was draped over her thin shoulders.

Jiang Yining's body stiffened.

She knew who it was without even looking up, because of the familiar scent.

Fu Huaiyan raised his hand, his well-defined knuckles hovering half an inch above Jiang Yining's head.

In the end, I still haven't let go.

He clenched his fist, then finally withdrew it and hid it at his side.

"Shen Tian is pure of heart. He was raised with great care by the old man and his mind is not complicated, unlike the other members of the Shen family."

"Give him some time, he can process everything."

Jiang Yining suddenly looked up, her bloodshot eyes brimming with tears.

She stared into Fu Huaiyan's dark eyes and suddenly laughed.

Do you think these empty words are useful?

"If you hadn't consistently sided with the Shen family, covered for Shen Miaoyin, and suppressed all clues, how could I have only found out who harmed my mother after Shen Miaoyin came to my door?"

Fu Huaiyan pursed his thin lips and remained silent.

But those deep, dark eyes held her firmly in their gaze.

It seems like there's a thousand words I want to say.

Jiang Yining's eyes flashed, and she turned her head away to avoid Fu Huaiyan's gaze.

She hated his so-called emotions.

She doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand.

"Fu Huaiyan, why are you like this...?"

He paused, but ultimately didn't say the words he was about to utter.

It's unnecessary.

Now that we've come this far, what's the point of asking again?

Jiang Yining took a deep breath and looked up at Fu Huaiyan.

"Fu Huaiyan, you knew Shen Tian's identity all along?"

"I just found out."

Well, it's alright.

The atmosphere plummeted to freezing point once again.

Just then, Shen Sinian and Old Master Shen walked out of the ward one after the other.

Shen Sinian looked at Jiang Yining, his tone solemn.

"Miss Jiang, may I have a word with you in private?"

Jiang Yining concealed the tears welling in her eyes, stood up, and silently followed the two.

Inside the lounge, Old Master Shen looked solemn and scrutinized Jiang Yining.

"Ms. Jiang, what did you mean by what you said in the hospital room just now?"

Are you sure you understand what you're saying?

"Of course I know."

Jiang Yining scoffed, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

"If I didn't know Shen Tian was my younger brother, do you think I would have been so kind as to save the Shen family?"

"I feel disgusted just looking at the people of your Shen family."

This blunt and unforgiving rebuke turned Old Master Shen's face ashen.

The atmosphere turned somber.

"Young lady, you are not qualified to comment on the Shen family so freely."

"Do you really think your mother's past is innocent?"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yining suddenly looked up, her anger surging.

"None of you in the Shen family are worthy to mention me!"

She looked up and stared directly at the gloomy-faced old man, showing no sign of backing down.

"I'll get a paternity test done immediately. Once the results are in, I have only one request: I want to take Shen Tian with me!"

"He is the child my mother gave birth to at the cost of her life; he is my own younger brother."

"I will never allow him to remain in your Shen family, to have him become kin to a thief!"
