Regretful Beijing Marriage

The surrounding air quieted down.

Everyone present was stunned, their expressions varied.

Shen Miaoyin's smile froze.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with her fingertips, looking anxiously at the man beside her.

Jiang Yining also subconsciously raised her eyes, her gaze falling directly on Fu Huaiyan's face.

A strange emotion swept through my heart.

After Shen Miaoyin said those things earlier, Fu Huaiyan's words now are a slap in the face to her.

Jiang Yining wouldn't presume to think that Fu Huaiyan was backing her up.

But deep down, emotions were still churning uncontrollably.

What exactly does he mean?!

The next second, Fu Huaiyan suddenly loosened his grip on her wrist and spoke lightly.

"Attend the dinner on time, so Grandma won't worry."

This action seemed to be an attempt to avoid suspicion.

Shen Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face.

She said, "How could Huaiyan possibly protect Jiang Yining?"

With Huaiyan inheriting the Fu family fortune, it's only a matter of time before the old lady relents.

She'll marry into the Fu family sooner or later!

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes knowingly.

However, the sharp pain still spread throughout his limbs and bones.

Fu Huaiyan refused to sign the divorce papers readily, and he wouldn't give her any of the dignity a wife should have.

He openly displayed an ambiguous relationship with Shen Miaoyin, and even avoided her for her sake.

How ridiculous!

At this moment, Jiang Yining felt that Fu Huaiyan was extremely hypocritical.

He neither divorced nor did he love his mistress, allowing her to enter his home.

What a two-timing scumbag!

Pooh!

Jiang Yining cursed inwardly, then suppressed her turbulent emotions and said coldly, "Hmm."

After saying that, she turned to the side, intending to quickly escape from there.

She's a human being too, and she has self-respect!

Why should we be trampled underfoot by them again and again!

He had only taken two steps when a sarcastic, mocking voice came from behind him.

Xie Xingzhou crossed his arms, his face full of disdain. "Some people are shameless enough to be outrageous. They rely on the old lady to back them up and act arrogantly in the Fu family."

"She cheated on him first and was seen intimately with another man, yet she pretends to be wronged and tries to shift the blame. How can she have the nerve to do that?"

Lu Yunshen chuckled lightly, his tone teasing, "Xingzhou, you're wrong about that. Without cunning, how could you secure your position as Mrs. Fu and squeeze into the Fu family?"

Shen Miaoyin stood aside, blatantly flashing a victorious smile at Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining abruptly stopped, her chest heaving with rage.

Her cheeks flushed red, not from sadness, but from anger.

She can be patient and yielding, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper!

She slowly turned around, her gaze cold and sharp. "In ancient times, if a mistress entered the house and bullied the wife, she would be drowned in a pig cage."

"A man who refuses to divorce his wife while openly keeping a mistress is caught in the middle and will be condemned by the world for the rest of his life."

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically.

This is the hotel lobby, a place with extremely high foot traffic and constant flow of people.

Those who come here are either rich or powerful.

If these words were overheard and spread by outsiders, it would definitely cause a stir in the Fu and Shen families.

Lu Yunshen's face darkened, and he retorted sharply, "Jiang Yining, stop twisting the truth here. You yourself are seen being intimate with other men, and you still have the nerve to criticize others?"

Jiang Yining's eyes were cold as she retorted without any mercy, "Mr. Zhou and I were just having a normal business meeting. We were perfectly upright."

"If we follow your outdated idea that men and women can't eat together, then weren't you also breaking the rules when we had our private meals together before? In that case, why don't we just castrate him?"

Lu Yun Shen was speechless, his face turning pale and then red.

He never expected that Jiang Yining, who was usually so cautious, would actually become so sharp-tongued.

He had no way to refute it.

Shen Miaoyin's face stiffened, and she then turned to look at Fu Huaiyan.

Men are always attracted to women who don't care about them.

Jiang Yining is just like her mother, she knows how to use such scheming tricks!

Fortunately, Fu Huaiyan remained indifferent throughout.

It was as if the arguments around him had nothing to do with him.

Shen Miaoyin felt a little more at ease and secretly comforted herself.

As long as he doesn't develop feelings for Jiang Yining, everything will be fine.

She was certain that Fu Huaiyan would eventually break all his principles and divorce Jiang Yining for her sake.

Thinking this, Shen Miaoyin immediately shrank back weakly behind Fu Huaiyan.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Fu Huaiyan's deep eyes fell directly on Jiang Yining, exuding a sense of oppression. His gaze was cold and carried a warning.

Jiang Yining smiled coldly to herself.

Fu Huaiyan is standing up for Shen Miaoyin.

He warned her not to say anything more.

But was she wrong?

They didn't bother her, and she didn't want to waste her breath on them.

Jiang Yining couldn't be bothered to watch this disgusting scene any longer. She pulled Zhou Xubai aside and left. "Let's go."

Once in the car, Zhou Xubai remained silent the entire time, without asking a single question.

Silent all the way.

The car came to a smooth stop downstairs at the clinic. Zhou Xubai turned to look at Jiang Yining and said, "Ms. Jiang, I have some personal matters to attend to. Please go upstairs first."

Jiang Yining nodded in agreement and was about to get out of the car when Zhou Xubai spoke again, "Miss Jiang, you can come to me anytime if you encounter any trouble later."

Jiang Yining paused, hesitated for a few seconds, then, without being coy, asked.

"Mr. Zhou, could you help me file for divorce?"

"I only want the marital property that belongs to me. I don't want anything else, including custody of the children. I give it all up."

Fu Huaiyan kept using the old lady as an excuse to delay the divorce.

Fu Huaiyan is the one in charge of the Fu family. If he really doesn't want a divorce, she has no choice but to file a lawsuit.

Zhou Xubai was stunned, his eyes filled with surprise.

He had anticipated that Jiang Yining would want a divorce, but he never imagined that she would even consider giving up her own son.

If that's the case...

Seeing his long silence, Jiang Yining smiled and looked away.

"Mr. Zhou, just take it as a casual remark, you don't need to take it to heart."

She knew in her heart that the Fu family held immense power and could control everything.

No law firm in the entire city dared to take on her divorce case.

To sue Fu Huaiyan is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, a sure way to bring about one's own destruction.

But the next second, Zhou Xubai's firm voice rang out, "I can take it."

"As long as you decide to divorce, I will represent you fully, and I guarantee that I will help you win this divorce case."

Jiang Yining suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with surprise.

Ordinary divorce cases are not difficult, but in Jiangcheng, there is no one else who dares to confront the Fu family head-on and is so confident of winning.

Could Zhou Xubai really be the only son of the Zhou family in Hong Kong?

Otherwise, what makes him so certain?

Jiang Yining didn't ask any further questions, but simply thanked her and said she would contact her if needed before going upstairs.

This matter is too complicated, and she still hopes for a peaceful divorce so that everyone can part amicably.

Upon entering the clinic and seeing Jiang Yining, Zhao Hui immediately rushed towards her with red eyes.

Zhao Jia turned pale with fright and raised her phone to call the police.

The next moment, Zhao Hui's eyes reddened, and he tightly grasped Jiang Yining's hand, his voice choked with emotion: "Dr. Jiang, thank you for your guidance yesterday. I have finally come to my senses."

"I broke the law and still have to go to jail, so I came here today specifically to thank you in person. I will behave well and get out as soon as possible."

Jiang Yining softened her expression and spoke in a low voice.

"If you reform yourself well and live a good life after you get out, that will be the best way to repay your mother. I also promised you that I would find a law firm to help you recover the wages and compensation that are owed to you."

Zhao Hui's eyes were red, and he wanted to say more, but due to his limited time in prison, he could only bow deeply to Jiang Yining and then leave quickly.

Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared. I thought he was here for revenge."

"Alright, everyone get back to work."

In the time that followed, Jiang Yining devoted herself entirely to her work.

She wants to open the new clinic as quickly as possible.

It wasn't until dark that a phone call brought Jiang Yining back to her senses.

It was Qin Yi calling.

"Madam, the dinner is about to begin. I am waiting downstairs at the clinic. Please come down on time."
