Regretful Beijing Marriage

When her mother is mentioned, Jiang Yining sheds all her coldness and hardness, revealing a warm feeling.

"My mother is the gentlest and kindest person in the world. She was soft-hearted all her life, always putting others first and reserving all the gentleness in the world for those around her."

Even when she was let down, she never harbored resentment and never intentionally hurt anyone.

Her words were gentle, yet full of heartache.

My mother's life has been so hard.

She has never been truly loved by anyone for a single day.

When I was a child, my grandmother bullied me, and others looked down on me.

This made her easily deceived by Qin Zhengtao, a despicable person.

She should have been in college, with a bright future ahead of her.

But they were all deceived by Qin Zhengtao.

Later, her mother gave birth to her, and only then did she feel warmth.

But at that time, my mother's health was deteriorating day by day.

Shen Tian gradually stopped sobbing and listened.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Jiang Yining.

"She sounds like a really, really good person."

Jiang Yining's expression stiffened slightly, and she raised her hand to gently pat the top of his head.

"She is also your mother. She has never met you, but she has always been concerned about you and hoped that you would be safe and healthy."

"Before she passed away, she felt guilty, thinking it was her fault that you didn't survive."

"Now that you're alive and well, and have grown up safely, she'll be so happy to know that."

Shen Tian lowered his head, his fingertips tightly gripping the bedding, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

After a long while, he apologized in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, I was immature before and said many hurtful things to you."

Seeing this, Jiang Yining's heart softened completely.

She gently stroked the top of his head with her fingertips.

"You really are your mother's child, just as kind-hearted as she is."

"Even in a den of wolves, he was not corrupted by the malice around him."

She picked up the warm bowl of porridge from the side and handed it to him.

"Can I have some porridge now?"

Shen Tian nodded and obediently took the porridge and swallowed it in small sips.

The atmosphere in the ward was unusually quiet and harmonious.

Exhausted both physically and mentally for days, Shen Tian fell asleep after finishing his porridge.

Jiang Yining tucked him in.

"I'll come see you again next time."

She had just turned around and taken two steps when she heard Shen Tian's choked voice behind her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not ready yet, please wait for me."

"Next time, I'll go see her with you."

Jiang Yining felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with warm tears.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Stepping out of the ward, Jiang Yining quickly composed herself.

Downstairs, Ji Shu was waiting in her car.

Fu Jiayu slept soundly in the back seat, but his little brows were slightly furrowed.

"The little guy absolutely refused to leave and wouldn't sleep peacefully until you came out."

Ji Shu lowered her voice and spoke.

Jiang Yining nodded, bent down to get into the car, and draped a coat over her sleeping son.

"Go home."

Back home, Ji Shu remained silent the entire way, her eyes concealing her worries.

Jiang Yining knew she had something to say, so she carried Fu Jiayu to the bed and settled her in before leaving.

The little one was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but his fingertips were still clutching the hem of her clothes, refusing to let go.

"Mom, don't go."

Jiang Yining patted his back to comfort him.

"I'm not leaving, I'll just sleep."

Fu Jiayu remained uneasy, muttering softly in a half-dreaming state.

"No, I overheard Dad and Uncle saying they wanted to leave me last time, Mom won't let them go..."

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to ask more questions, the child had already fallen asleep.

She could only suppress her doubts, leave the bedroom, and sit down on the sofa in the living room.

Ji Shu looked solemn.

"Ningning, there's something I have to tell you. Something's happened to the Fu family."

"Fu's stock price has plummeted for several days, with existing shareholders collectively forcing a takeover, internal strife raging within the company, and morale low."

"Grandma Fu was so angry that she suddenly fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. Her condition was critical, and the doctor said she was unlikely to make it."

Jiang Yining's expression instantly turned serious, and her brows furrowed.

"Who did it? Qin Zhengtao doesn't have that much power; he couldn't have stirred up such a storm in the Fu family."

"It wasn't him." Ji Shu shook her head decisively.

"The Fu family has made too many enemies. This time, it's a joint effort by multiple forces to suppress them. I've checked, and it's highly likely that they're based overseas."

Foreign forces.

The first thing that flashed through Jiang Yining's mind was He Sze, and the powerful Kyle family behind him.

The unease in my heart grew stronger.

"How is He Sze now?"

Ji Shu's expression darkened further.

"He's fine, he got out safely, and found someone to take the blame. It's just that his company suffered serious damage, but it didn't really hurt him."

Jiang Yining felt a heavy weight in her heart, her nerves taut.

Just then, Ji Shu exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh no! Ningning, Grandma Fu... is gone!"

"What?!"

Jiang Yining suddenly stood up, a sense of panic rising in her heart.

She immediately took out her phone and dialed Fu Huaiyan's number.

But the other end couldn't get through no matter what they tried.

Without a second thought, she immediately got up and rushed to the hospital.

The hospital's main entrance was packed with reporters, a dense crowd that made it impossible to pass through.

Ji Shu led her around to enter through the back door.

The atmosphere in the entire corridor was solemn and oppressive.

After Jiang Yining appeared, there was a clear sense of rejection and dissatisfaction among those around her.

Zhou Jin stepped forward first and reprimanded her sternly.

"Get out! You're not welcome here! Do you even know who my son is...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Chengxuan, who was beside him, reached out and stopped him.

His eyes were filled with fatigue and bloodshot as he forcibly restrained the emotionally agitated Zhou Jin.

"Mom, don't get agitated. The Fu family still has a lot of things to deal with."

Fu Chengxuan pulled Jiang Yining away.

"Don't come to the Fu family again. Now that my brother and you are divorced and the child is under your custody, just live your life peacefully."

"The Fu family's troubles are none of your concern."

Jiang Yining ignored him and asked in a deep voice.

"Where's your brother? Where's Fu Huaiyan?"

Fu Chengxuan stiffened slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes before being replaced by coldness.

"The Fu family is currently facing internal and external troubles. Do you think he has time to see you?"

Ji Shu immediately stepped forward in dissatisfaction.

"Stop taking your resentment towards the Fu family out on Yi Ning! She has never wronged your Fu family from beginning to end."

Jiang Yining raised her hand to stop the excited Ji Shu.

"I'm not concerned with the Fu family's affairs, but with my own. Have your brother contact me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Fu Chengxuan burst into laughter, his eyes filled with sarcasm.

"Yes, Jiang Yining, my brother gave you all his assets. Now you are the head of the Fu family, so of course you have the right to interfere."
