Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining did not struggle or resist.

All the strength in my body seemed to be drained away in an instant.

The barrage of truths left her breathless and utterly exhausted.

A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she leaned listlessly against Fu Huaiyan's chest.

Fu Huaiyan held her firmly in his arms, gently pressing her head against his warm, solid chest.

A clear and strong heartbeat could be heard through the thin fabric of the clothes.

Calm and composed.

But it was the only sense of security she could grasp at that moment.

Jiang Yining pressed herself against Fu Huaiyan's chest, her eyes filled with a bittersweet feeling.

After getting into the car, Fu Huaiyan kept her in his arms the whole time, gently coaxing her in a low voice.

"Go to sleep, I'm here."

Four simple words shattered Jiang Yining's last line of defense.

She could no longer hold on, and leaned against him, falling into a deep sleep.

She slept very restlessly that night.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yining suddenly woke up.

Only then did I realize that my back was already soaked in cold sweat and my whole body was ice cold.

She instinctively clenched her fist, feeling the touch on her fingertips.

When she looked up, she saw that while she was unconscious, she had been tightly gripping Fu Huaiyan's hand.

The man's skin was covered with red marks of varying shades, from which fine bloodstains seeped.

Fu Huaiyan did not interrupt, but simply let her pinch him silently.

Silently endure all her emotional outbursts.

Noticing that she had opened her eyes, Fu Huaiyan slowly withdrew his hand.

He got up, poured a glass of warm water, and brought it to her lips.

"Drink some water first."

Jiang Yining obediently finished drinking the water.

"What time is it?"

I only realized how terribly hoarse my voice was when I spoke.

"It's past midnight."

The room fell into a deathly silence, the air heavy and stagnant.

Countless questions weighed on Jiang Yining's mind, but ultimately only turned into silence.

Upon seeing this, Fu Huaiyan slowly stood up.

"I'll go get you some food."

He had just moved when Jiang Yining grabbed his wrist.

Let's talk.

Fu Huaiyan sat down, his gaze fixed intently on her face.

His deep eyes held a subtle, dark light, both gentle and restrained.

"What would you like to talk about?"

Jiang Yining raised her eyes and looked straight into his eyes.

Their eyes met, their breaths mingled.

She knew perfectly well that he understood her doubts better than anyone else.

There was no beating around the bush; they spoke directly.

Why?

Fu Huaiyan gazed into Jiang Yining's somewhat tired eyes.

After a long silence, with emotions surging in his eyes, he finally looked away.

"compensate."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yining suddenly smiled.

The smile was thin and cold, and the last bit of warmth in her eyes faded.

He always managed to pinpoint the answer she hated most.

"Since you don't want to tell the truth, then get out."

She suppressed her smile and spoke in a distant tone.

Fu Huaiyan's Adam's apple bobbed, as if he had a thousand words to say.

Just then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Fu Jiayu walked in, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

The little one climbed straight onto the bed, expertly hugged Jiang Yining, and spoke in a soft, pleading voice.

"Mommy, please don't leave, okay?"

"Come back, and the three of us will live a good life together."

Seeing her child's haggard appearance, Jiang Yining's heart softened, and all the harsh words stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered.

She raised her hand and gently stroked her son's head.

"Go to sleep."

Fu Jiayu's eyes lit up with surprise, and he immediately snuggled obediently into her arms.

He fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Looking at the sleeping child in her arms, Jiang Yining looked up at the man beside her.

"Aren't you going to take care of him so he can sleep?"

Fu Huaiyan's gaze fell gently on the child, his tone calm.

"He's been missing you a lot these days."

Jiang Yining was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.

In the silence, Fu Huaiyan raised his hand, as if wanting to touch her cheek.

Ultimately, they restrained themselves and withdrew.

Then they moved the sleeping Fu Jiayu to the side.

After finishing everything, he looked at Jiang Yining again, his expression serious.

"Jiayu didn't mean to hurt you before. If there's any fault, it's all my fault."

"It's my fault for not teaching him well, which caused you to suffer."

He paused, then added, "Could you spend more time with him in the future?"

"If the child wants to live with you in the future, I am willing to let Jiayu change his surname to yours."

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

This statement is highly unusual.

The Fu family values ​​bloodlines.

Let alone changing Fu Jiayu's surname, the Fu family would never agree to him living with her.

What exactly did Fu Huaiyan mean by that?

Just as she was about to press for details, Fu Huaiyan looked away first, concealing all his emotions.

"You guys go to sleep."

He turned and left.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, Jiang Yining suddenly spoke.

"Thanks."

Fu Huaiyan paused abruptly, his back stiffening slightly.

After a moment, he gave a low reply and left the room.

-

Meng Yao sat in the dark room, anxiously explaining to the customer on the other end of the phone.

"You saw it yourself, Jiang Yining framed me!"

"Now that her true colors have been exposed online, and everyone has seen her wickedness, aren't you still comfortable handing her over to me?"

But a stern rebuke came from the other end of the phone.

"What does Jiang Yining's accident have to do with you, Meng Yao? I advise you to face reality as soon as possible and plan a way out for yourself."

"You've already been removed from the summit, and now you're a laughing stock in the entire industry. Nobody will believe you anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yao's pupils constricted sharply, and she let out a low growl.

"What expulsion? Don't talk nonsense! That's impossible!"

"It's already widely known in the industry. You'd better watch yourself and don't call me again."

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Meng Yao gripped her phone tightly, her face contorted in a grimace.

The next instant, she suddenly raised her hand and slammed the phone to the ground.

"Jiang Yining, you bitch! You want to drive me to my death? I will never let you have your way!"

-

The next morning, Jiang Yining had just opened her eyes and woken up.

Fu Jiayu, who was beside him, immediately opened his eyes as well.

He was drowsy, but forced himself to stay awake.

"Mom, I'll stay with you."

Jiang Yining gently rubbed the top of his head.

"I have something to take care of today. You stay home and be a good girl. Call me if you miss me."

After everything that has happened, she doesn't want her child to suffer anymore.

As for the rest, she wasn't in the mood to sort them out for the time being.

Fu Jiayu tried to coax Fu Huaiyan to stay, but Fu Huaiyan had already entered the room.

He picked up the child.

"Your mother has important things to do, but there will be plenty of opportunities to spend time with her in the future."

He looked up at Jiang Yining, his tone natural.

"It's hard to get a taxi around here, I'll give you a ride."

Jiang Yining nodded and did not refuse.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, Jiang Yining was about to get out of the car when Fu Huaiyan suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, the Shen family will handle it."

"Qin Zhengtao won't be able to keep jumping around for long. What belongs to you, he will give back in full."

Jiang Yining frowned slightly.

"I have absolutely no connection with the Shen family."

After saying that, she pushed open the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the laboratory.

She could never accept this sudden kinship.

Let's deal with the immediate problem first, and then think about other things.

In the days that followed, Jiang Yining immersed herself in the laboratory.

They ignored all rumors and gossip from the outside world.

The online controversy, however, is escalating.

The smear campaign and the spreading of rumors have never stopped.

The entire internet continues to condemn her.

Jiang Yining knew that the real storm was just beginning.
