Regretful Beijing Marriage

Before Zhong Yi could react, Shen Wan had already walked over.

She rushed to Zhong Yi, her voice choked with emotion.

"Xiaoyi, I want to divorce Qin Zhengtao."

Chung Yi was shocked, but she calmly put down her phone.

He then looked up at Shen Wan, who was in tears, his face full of astonishment.

"What happened? Calm down."

"I simply can't stay calm."

Shen Wan hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and broke down.

"Qin Zhengtao went too far this time; he actually dared to lie to me about something like this."

"I can't deceive myself anymore. I don't want to continue this marriage for even a second longer."

She looked up, her voice trembling.

"Xiaoyi, you're my best friend. Tell me, was I wrong from the very beginning?"

"Was Qin Zhengtao the one who got together with Jiang Wan first? So he lied to me, and Jiang Wan wasn't a third party at all?"

Zhong Yi was completely stunned, never expecting Shen Wan to speak up first.

She composed herself and pressed for an answer in a deep voice.

"Have you found any clues?"

"When Qin Zhengtao said he was being harassed by Jiang Wan, I never investigated it and believed him wholeheartedly."

Shen Wan gave a bitter, cold laugh and sniffed.

"But now he dares to hide even Shen Tian's background from me, what else wouldn't he do?"

She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes bloodshot.

"If it's all a lie, if I was the one being cheated on, then what have I been doing all these years?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she slapped herself hard several times.

"Xiaoyi, you're my best friend, and only you can help me now."

Seeing this, Chung Yi let out a deep breath, her heart softening a little.

She pulled Shen Wan aside and gently comforted her.

"Wanwan, I never approved of you being with Qin Zhengtao before."

"He's a man of impure thoughts, a habitual liar. You've seen the truth and turned back in time; it's not too late."

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in Shen Wan's eyes.

Then things returned to calm.

Before Zhong Yi could speak again, Shen Wan suddenly asked.

"By the way, do you still have the calming incense I gave you last time?"

"Because of this matter, I haven't been able to sleep at night for the past few days, and I'm very restless. I'd like to rest here for a while."

"I need your help to think carefully about what I should do next."

Seeing her former friend in such a disheveled and vulnerable state, Chung Yi ultimately couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.

Even knowing the truth, she still softened.

What if Shen Wan turns back?

So, is everything not so bad after all?

Zhong Yi composed herself and led Shen Wan upstairs.

Inside the room, calming incense burned, its smoke curling upwards.

Shen Wan stood beside the incense burner, watching the flickering flames, a cold smile curving her lips.

While Zhong Yi turned around to tidy the bed, she quickly took out a packet of fine powder from her pocket and sprinkled it all into the incense burner.

"What are you doing?"

Zhong Yi turned around and asked in a cold voice.

Shen Wan smiled, showing no remorse for being caught red-handed.

She raised her hand and swung it sharply, scattering all the powder at Zhong Yi.

"Of course, it's something to send you on your way."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Yi's expression changed drastically, as she felt a pungent odor enter her nasal cavity.

My mind went blank for a moment.

Before she could even struggle or react, Shen Wan shoved her hard.

The next moment, Zhong Yi fell to the ground.

His head slammed hard against the corner of the wall, and warm blood seeped out, spreading across the ground and staining it red.

Her vision blurred rapidly, and she felt weak all over.

He completely lost consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open.

Qin Zhengtao walked in calmly.

He picked up Zhong Yi's dropped phone and swiped it quickly with his fingertips.

Delete all the data inside.

Shen Wan stood to the side and asked nervously.

"What if she told someone else beforehand? We can't afford to take that risk."

Qin Zhengtao chuckled softly, his tone sinister.

"Shen Wan, let's not think about these things anymore. Since we've started, we should see it through to the end!"

"If she had told you beforehand, you wouldn't be standing here safely right now."

He glanced down at Zhong Yi, who lay unconscious on the ground.

"This incense contains hallucinogenic ingredients, and the dosage is large enough that even if she manages to wake up, her memory will be confused, and she won't be able to remember anything that happened tonight."

After saying that, he picked up Zhong Yi's phone, edited a message, and sent it to Jiang Yining.

I've uncovered a secret about your mother. Where are you now? Come to the Song family villa; I need to talk to you about this in person.

Shen Wan looked at the text on the screen, still harboring concerns.

Are you sure Jiang Yining will definitely fall for it?

Qin Zhengtao's lips curled into a mocking sneer.

"You think I don't know what she's been up to all these years? I didn't touch her back then because I didn't have the power, but I won't now."

"I know her weakness. As long as the truth about her mother, Jiang Wan, is involved, she will not be able to stay rational and will definitely come."

"Remember, we've never been here tonight."

-

In the laboratory, Jiang Yining had just finished a round of experimental debriefing.

A notification sound rang on my phone.

The moment she saw the message, her expression changed drastically.

Since it concerned her mother, she didn't hesitate and immediately dialed Zhong Yi's number.

However, no matter how many times I called, I couldn't get through.

The unease in my heart grew stronger.

A strong sense of crisis swept over me.

But the more this happened, the less calm Jiang Yining became.

She didn't dare delay and immediately drove to the Song family.

Upon arriving at the villa's entrance, an unfamiliar servant greeted us respectfully.

"Miss Jiang, Madam is waiting for you in her room upstairs. Please go straight up."

As the maid stepped aside to make way, she seemed to bump into Jiang Yining intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Yining frowned and looked over, and the man immediately lowered his head in fright.

With her mother's secret right before her eyes, she couldn't think of anything else and hurried upstairs.

The moment she pushed open the door, the crimson light stung her eyes, making them go numb.

Zhong Yi lay in a pool of blood, her eyes closed and her breath faint.

"Chung Yi!"

Jiang Yining's expression changed drastically, and she rushed forward to pick him up.

My fingertips touched a patch of cold, sticky blood.

Just as she was about to take out her phone to call for help, a furious roar came from the doorway.

"mom!"

Song Ran rushed into the room like a madwoman and immediately saw Zhong Yi lying in a pool of blood.

His gaze was fixed on Jiang Yining, and he pushed her away without saying a word.

Jiang Yining lost her balance and staggered back several steps.

"Jiang Yining! What did you do to my mother?!"

Song Ran's eyes turned bloodshot, and his entire body radiated a fierce aura.

Before Jiang Yining could explain, the servant who had led the way knelt down with a thud.

"Second Young Master, I've been watching downstairs the whole time, and Madam is perfectly fine."

"As soon as Miss Jiang went upstairs, I heard arguing coming from upstairs. By the time I came up to check,...it was already time for an accident!"

Jiang Yining instantly realized that someone had set a deadly trap for her.

The other party was able to accurately grasp her weaknesses and take control of the situation in a short period of time.

Besides Qin Zhengtao, there was no one else.

She had no time to argue and coldly rebuked him.

"Save them first!"

After saying that, she dialed Wen Junshan's number again.

"Mr. Wen, please go to the hospital immediately. It's an emergency, you must hurry!"

Soon, Chung Yi was rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment.

Wen Junshan rushed over and, without asking why, immediately entered the operating room.

Within moments, the Song and Shen families arrived.

A crowd gathered in the hospital corridor.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.

Song Yu's face was cold and stern. He looked at Song Ran, whose face was pale, and asked in a low voice.

"What exactly happened?"

Song Ran stared intently at Jiang Yining, who was not far away.

"The maid saw it with her own eyes; it was Jiang Yining who injured my mother!"

Song Yu frowned, still retaining some rationality.

"The matter has not been investigated yet. Let's wait until Mom wakes up before making any conclusions."

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Qin Zhengtao walked over slowly, his face filled with grief.

"No need to wait, it was made by Jiang Yining."

He looked up at the crowd, his voice clear and bright.

"Zhong Yi secretly discovered the truth about Shen Tian's background and learned that Shen Tian was not Jiang Yining's biological brother, thus crossing Jiang Yining's bottom line."

"So Jiang Yining silenced her!"
