Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining looked down at the documents Qin Yi handed her, her expression indifferent.

"What is this?"

Qin Yi spoke respectfully.

"Ms. Jiang, this is the compensation from Mr. Fu: a 10% equity stake in the Fu Group. It will take effect immediately upon your signature."

Jiang Yining frowned and pushed the document back.

"Take it back. What I deserved, I've already taken back."

"I don't need anything else."

The grievances of the past few years cannot be erased with a sum of money.

Qin Yi handed the document to her again.

"Ms. Jiang, this is Mr. Fu's order. I cannot leave without your signature."

During the stalemate, Ji Shu reached out and pressed down on the document.

"Ningning, why don't you want to?"

"Haven't Fu Huaiyan hurt you enough? These wounds can't be erased with just an apology."

"This is what he owes you, and it's what you truly deserve."

"You're riding high right now, and you'll need money for clinic expansion and research advancements."

"If you want to gain a foothold, you can't do it alone."

Jiang Yining was well aware that everything Ji Shu said was true.

Logically, she should sign.

After all, it was Fu Huaiyan who owed her.

But deep down, there was always a lingering emotion resisting.

Just as Jiang Yining was lost in thought, Ji Shu nudged her.

"Sign it. If you don't need it later, just return it to him."

Interrupted, Jiang Yining subconsciously signed her name.

Just as I was about to ask further questions, a new round of inspections began.

Jiang Yining could only suppress her doubts for the time being.

After completing all the examinations and confirming that she was in good health, she packed up and prepared to be discharged from the hospital.

Before I even left the ward, I saw Old Master Shen and Shen Sinian walking towards me.

Ji Shu turned her gaze and tactfully patted Jiang Yining on the shoulder.

"I'll be waiting for you outside. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Jiang Yining nodded.

After Ji Shu left, Old Master Shen, with red eyes, quickly walked forward.

His eyes were full of guilt.

"Yi Ning, I'm sorry. It's all the Shen family's fault. I was foolish."

"Shen Wan was frail from childhood and was one of the few girls in the Shen family, so I spoiled and indulged her in every way since she was a child."

"I thought I only wanted to give her enough love so she could grow up safely, but I never expected that I would raise a vicious person with a heart of stone."

"In the end, this heinous crime harmed my own daughter and my granddaughter."

Jiang Yining had heard these words enough.

What good will saying more do?

She lowered her eyes, her tone cold.

"It's too late to say these things now, and it's pointless."

"My mother is gone, and the suffering and pain she endured can never be undone."

Old Master Shen felt a pang in his heart, his face turned deathly pale, and he stared at her with deep sorrow.

"My child, I know I am deeply sinful, and I do not ask for your forgiveness."

"Could you...take me to meet your mother?"

"I want to personally kowtow to her and apologize and repent."

Jiang Yining paused, her expression shifting slightly.

She couldn't make any decisions for her mother.

My mother lived a life of loneliness and hardship.

Her grandmother was harsh and cold-hearted, never showing her any warmth.

If my mother could know from beyond the grave that she was not alone and had blood relatives who cared for and repented for her, I wonder what she would feel.

My mother is kind and gentle all her life, and has always been soft-hearted. She will most likely choose to forgive.

But the pain I experienced was real.

These very things took a toll on my mother's health.

She couldn't forgive her mother, nor did she want to do so!

Seeing Jiang Yining remain silent, Shen Sinian stepped forward to offer words of comfort.

"Grandpa, don't pressure Yining, give her some time."

Old Master Shen nodded sadly, suppressing his eagerness, and changed the subject.

"Yi Ning, go check on Xiao Tian."

Hearing this name, Jiang Yining felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Shen Tian was still young and had never been involved in the grudges and entanglements of adults.

But they are forced to endure these things.

Jiang Yining nodded and followed behind Shen Tian to his hospital room.

Pushing open the door, I saw the boy sitting quietly on the bed.

His eyes were empty and numb as he stared out the window.

He lacked any of the vigor a young person should have.

The caregiver looked utterly helpless.

"Grandpa, Young Master Shen hasn't eaten a single bite of food since this morning, and nothing we do can persuade him to eat."

Grandpa Shen's eyes instantly reddened, and he quickly walked to the bedside, his tone filled with heartache and anxiety.

"Xiao Tian, ​​listen to me, your health is the most important thing, eat a little something."

Shen Tian shook his head, "You can all go out. I'll eat by myself later."

The old man wanted to persuade her again, but Jiang Yining raised her hand to stop him.

"You all go out first, I'll stay with him for a while."

Shen Sinian glanced at the listless young man and then took the old man away.

The ward became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Yining walked to the bedside, sat down, and picked up the bowl of porridge on the table.

He ladled out a small bowl and handed it to Shen Tian.

"You haven't eaten all day? Do you think you're made of iron?"

"Whom are you trying to get revenge on by ruining your body like this?"

"To take revenge on yourself, or on those who are already condemned? It's pointless."

Shen Tian suddenly turned to look at her. "How did you know what I was thinking?"

Jiang Yining gazed quietly at the pain in his eyes.

"Because I'm your older sister."

She had also suffered that kind of pain.

One sentence shattered Shen Tian's defenses.

He suddenly clutched his head, his body trembling slightly.

"Stop talking! I don't want to hear it! How could this happen..."

"How did everything turn out like this!"

"My home is gone! My parents, my sister—how come they're all evil people?!"

The boy's breakdown was direct and jarring.

Jiang Yining's gaze darkened slightly as she asked in a soft voice.

"So, you think I ruined your home, ruined everything you had?"

Shen Tian suddenly looked up, his eyes red-rimmed.

He opened his mouth as if to defend himself, but couldn't utter a single word.

Everything started with Jiang Yining's appearance.

But he knew in his heart that the one who was wrong was never the one who revealed the truth.

After a long silence, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, his voice hoarse.

"You can leave now."

Jiang Yining did not get up, but just quietly looked at his pale and haggard face.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Take good care of yourself, eat on time, and don't give up on yourself anymore."

After she finished speaking, she got up to leave.

He had only taken half a step when he suddenly heard the boy's choked voice behind him.

"etc!"

Jiang Yining paused in her steps.

Shen Tian looked at her, his eyes filled with tears.

"Was the poison in my body really administered by my father?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yining also felt uneasy.

She stepped forward and gently rubbed the top of his head.

"These dirty things are not something you should have to deal with at your age."

"Just remember, you have never done anything wrong; the wrong ones are those who harbor evil intentions."

Shen Tian felt a lump in his throat, and tears that had been building up for a long time streamed down his face.

She began to sob softly.

"Why... when my parents love me so much?"

"How could they do so many bad things? How could they be so cruel..."

Jiang Yining remained silent, only gently patting his back repeatedly.

The adults' entanglements ultimately affected the most innocent children.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Shen Tian gradually calmed down.

"Um... what kind of person is your mother?"
