Regretful Beijing Marriage

I spent several days in the laboratory.

That morning, the data finally stabilized.

Looking at the perfectly formed experimental curve on the screen, Su Zhiyan's long-suppressed emotions erupted.

She turned around and hugged Jiang Yining tightly, unable to hide her excitement and joy.

"We did it! Sister Ning, we really succeeded!"

She still can't believe they actually did it.

"In less than two months, you overcame the most difficult core hurdle and achieved results that no one else could!"

Jiang Yining stared at the data on the screen, which she had repeatedly checked and found to be correct, a hint of emotion flashing across her eyes.

My nerves, which had been tense for many days, began to relax a little.

Yet he remained calm.

"It's not a complete success yet."

She shook her head slightly, her tone serious.

"There is still one last round of live animal experiments. Only when the data from this stage is stable and there are no side effects can it be considered truly ready for implementation."

Only after completing all the tests can she truly feel confident.

Su Zhiyan nodded, her agitated emotions calming down slightly.

A surge of resentment welled up within him, and he couldn't help but complain.

"I haven't dared to bother you these past few days; you have no idea how outrageous things are outside!"

"He Sze-tse's hastily launched projects resulted in several medical accidents, all of which were forcibly suppressed."

"Not only that, they even poured dirty water on you, subtly implying that you were the cause of the problem!"

Jiang Yining nodded slightly, her expression calm.

These smears are irrelevant to her at this moment.

She stared at the experimental results on the screen, her mind exceptionally clear.

Just wait a little longer, she'll succeed soon.

"I'm not going to say anything more, Sister Ning. I'm going to do the data verification test."

Su Zhiyan suppressed her anger, quickly composed herself, and threw herself into the follow-up work.

The laboratory returned to silence.

Jiang Yining leaned back in her chair and raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples.

She hasn't dared to rest these days.

The breakthrough in the experiment has finally eased the huge weight on her mind.

It was a rare moment of relief, a moment of respite.

However, this calm did not last long, as the phone suddenly rang.

It was Ji Shu calling.

"Ningning! Something terrible has happened! Check the trending topics!"

Jiang Yining felt a slight unease as she opened the trending topics page.

The next second, a deluge of smear campaign rhetoric emerged.

An anonymous netizen revealed that she and her mother, Jiang Wan, are cut from the same cloth and are both women who seduce men to climb the social ladder.

The anonymous whistleblower also released several high-resolution photos.

There are intimate scenes between her and Fu Huaiyan from the past.

There are also "proposal photos" of her and Zhou Xubai at the hotel.

The copywriting was very well-structured and presented in a logical and engaging manner.

She claimed that she was ambitious and initially tried to seduce Fu Huaiyan but failed. Undeterred, she then tried to seduce Zhou Xubai.

She coaxed the other party into insisting on marrying her, but then pretended to keep him hanging, playing hard to get.

The whistleblower was full of malice, saying that she was both greedy for Zhou Xubai's favoritism and unwilling to let go of Fu Huaiyan.

To have one foot in two boats.

Extremely scheming and vicious.

The speed at which public opinion escalated was terrifying.

The entire internet was overwhelmed, with insults and ridicule pouring in.

Just as the hype was soaring, someone directly exposed Zhou Xubai's true identity.

This confirms that he is the son of a top family in the port city.

The news caused an uproar across the internet.

The Zhou family of Hong Kong quickly issued a statement.

A tough stance.

He stated bluntly that the Zhou family would never tolerate a woman like Jiang Yining.

The statement only fueled the anger and criticism.

Everyone's waiting to see what happens.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Yining was doomed, Zhou Xubai suddenly registered an account and spoke out.

I apologize for disturbing everyone, but I would like to solemnly declare that Ms. Jiang Yining and I are deeply in love and our wedding is imminent.

She has never lied to me, and we will be engaged soon. Thank you for your concern.

Regarding the malicious rumors circulating online about my fiancée, I reserve the right to pursue legal action and will not tolerate them.

This news pushed the buzz to its peak.

"Ningning, are you really getting engaged to him?"

Ji Shu's voice brought Jiang Yining back to her senses.

She gripped her phone, her brows furrowing even deeper.

No, I don't know.

Ji Shu remained silent for a moment.

"He probably wanted to protect you, but I didn't expect he hadn't told you."

Jiang Yining remained silent.

The comments below are full of wishes for their long and happy marriage and expressions of envy for her.

Such remarks are jarring.

She doesn't like having decisions made for her.

Even if it's for her own good.

Just then, Zhou Xubai called.

Jiang Yining told Ji Shu, and then answered Zhou Xubai's call.

"Yi Ning, let's meet."

Jiang Yining let out a soft breath, "Okay."

to the place.

As soon as Zhou Xubai saw her, he walked over and took her hand, his eyes full of apology.

"Ningning, I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand and announced the news without your consent."

"But this is the safest approach at the moment. The summit is about to begin, and right now the entire internet is filled with negative comments about you."

"It's very difficult to prove your innocence with such unfounded claims. Even if they are false, the summit will expel you from the list."

"By making our relationship public, I can temporarily stabilize public opinion and silence the gossip."

He paused, looked at her with a frank and gentle gaze, and said, "You don't need to feel burdened."

"If you are unwilling to resolve the matter later, I will not pursue it further. Rest assured, I will not force you."

Jiang Yining raised her eyes and calmly looked at Zhou Xubai.

Why didn't you stop these malicious online reports immediately?

That's a completely unreasonable question.

But Zhou Xubai's body stiffened.

Because he understood.

Jiang Yining knew that it was he who had allowed the remarks to escalate.

They even fueled the flames.

But since he has already done it, he doesn't regret it.

He just wanted to fight for a chance for himself.

Zhou Xubai's throat bobbed, pretending not to understand, and he apologized.

"I'm sorry, Ningning. I failed to protect you in time, and you have suffered so much."

Jiang Yining stared at him quietly for a moment, then looked away.

"Xu Bai, thank you for your kindness and for your continued support, but this matter is unnecessary."

After saying that, she got up and left.

However, Jiang Yining underestimated the negative impact of this incident.

As soon as she stepped out of the street corner, she was swarmed by reporters who had been lying in wait.

Numerous cameras were pointed at her, surrounding her at the intersection.

Some of the haters became agitated and threw vegetable leaves and other debris at her.

"Shameless wretch! Like father, like son!"

"Mother and daughter are cut from the same cloth, specializing in seducing men to climb the social ladder!"

"You toyed with the feelings of two excellent men, why don't you just die!"

"The Shen family is so pitiful, they've been fooled by you for so long!"

The more they cursed, the more agitated they became.

The force of the shoving continued to come.

Jiang Yining instinctively protected her head, a cold glint in her eyes.

Did Qin Zhengtao think that this would make her submit?

dream!

Jiang Yining breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting to get entangled, but only wanting to get away as soon as possible.

But the crowd surrounded her, leaving her no way out.

In the midst of the chaos, a tall figure broke through the crowd, and a strong, powerful arm wrapped around her waist.

He held her tightly in his arms.

A familiar, crisp scent enveloped me.

Jiang Yining was slightly taken aback, and looked up to meet Fu Huaiyan's dark eyes.

Before she could react, Fu Huaiyan looked up at the jubilant crowd.

His voice was deep and clear, yet it carried an extremely strong sense of pressure.

"Jiang Yining is not two-timing."

One sentence was enough to quiet the surroundings.

"She is my lawfully wedded wife, Fu Huaiyan, and the biological mother of my son."

"But now that we're divorced, she hasn't made it public because of me."

"Her marriage to Mr. Zhou Xubai is perfectly reasonable, and I wish them a long and happy marriage."

One sentence instantly ignited the entire audience.

The reporters instantly erupted in excitement, all pointing their cameras at the two of them and snapping away frantically.

A barrage of questions erupted.

"Mr. Fu! Is your first wife really Miss Jiang?"

"The Fu family has always forbidden divorce. Why are you two getting a divorce?"

"So the rumors circulating online that Mrs. Fu is someone else are all false?"

"Mr. Fu, what's the matter between you and Miss Shen?"

Countless questions came crashing down on her, but Jiang Yining wouldn't listen to a word.

She stared blankly at the tall, imposing man in front of her.

I have absolutely no idea what his intention was.

The next second, Fu Huaiyan emphasized his words, taking all the blame upon himself.

"Our divorce is entirely my fault."

"Shen Miaoyin is my savior. I treat her like a younger sister. It was my failure to keep my boundaries that caused my wife to suffer so much."

"I ruined this marriage; all the blame lies with me."

The entire room fell silent for two seconds, then erupted into chaos.

"So, it was President Fu who overstepped his marital boundaries and wronged Jiang Yining?"

"Were all the previous smear campaigns against Jiang Yining just misunderstandings? Was she the victim?"

Countless cameras flashed wildly, and everyone was asking the same question.

But Jiang Yining wouldn't listen to anything.

She stood frozen in Fu Huaiyan's arms, a thousand words stuck in her throat, yet she didn't know where to begin.

Just then, Qin Yi arrived quickly with a large number of bodyguards.

The bodyguards quickly dispersed the crowd and forcibly cleared a path.

Fu Huaiyan protected Jiang Yining tightly, bending down to half-embrace her and lead her into the car.

The car drove away smoothly, and the interior was quiet.

Jiang Yining suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and turned to speak.

Fu Huaiyan turned his head first.

"What I should do is to make amends for the past."
