Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining's expression immediately changed.

Before I could even speak, the call was abruptly ended.

Jiang Yining gripped her phone, her brow furrowed.

Just then, Shen Sinian called.

She answered the phone quickly, and the person on the other end sounded extremely anxious.

"Yi Ning, you stay home and don't go anywhere. Lock the doors and windows. I'm coming right away."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yining's heart tightened.

"Qin Zhengtao has escaped from prison."

Shen Sinian's voice was frighteningly deep.

"He's a fugitive now, driven by revenge. You'll be the first person he'll look for, so don't go out alone."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yining's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I see."

After hanging up Shen Sinian's call, Ji Shu's concerned calls came one after another.

Jiang Yining gently reassured her, telling her not to worry too much.

Less than twenty minutes later, Shen Sinian entered the room with his bodyguards.

"I've arranged for people to guard the villa 24/7, protecting you and Jiayu in every way. Try to stay indoors as much as possible in the near future."

"I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Yining nodded, then gave a reminder.

"You all need to be careful and take good care of Shen Tian. Qin Zhengtao is now at his wit's end and his mind has become twisted."

"He doesn't just hate me; he won't let anyone who helped bring him down go unpunished, and he'll most likely seek revenge everywhere."

After giving repeated instructions on security matters, Shen Sinian hurriedly left.

The room returned to quiet.

Fu Jiayu cautiously approached Jiang Yining, his little face full of worry.

"Mom, has something happened?"

Jiang Yining softened her coldness and bent down to embrace her son.

"It's okay, Mom's here, Jiayu, don't be afraid."

The following morning, the Fu Group collapsed.

Public opinion was in an uproar, and the stock price plummeted.

News of internal turmoil swept across the internet, and the situation became increasingly out of control.

As Jiang Yining was browsing related news, her mind heavy with thoughts, she heard the sound of the door being kicked open from outside.

Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could get up, the door was kicked open.

Ye Tang barged in with a group of burly men in black, exuding an arrogant aura.

The bodyguards inside the house immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Yining.

Ye Tang ignored this, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

He raised his hand and threw a document hard onto the ground.

"Jiang Yining, if you know what's good for you, leave Zhou Xubai on your own initiative."

"Here's a hundred million, enough for you to live a life of comfort and ease for the rest of your days. Take the money and disappear."

"This is the Zhou family's decision. A woman like you is not fit to enter the Zhou family."

Jiang Yining's eyes were filled with icy coldness, and her body temperature plummeted.

She slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping coldly over Ye Tang.

"Get out of here with your people right now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the documents from the ground and threw them hard back at Ye Tang's face.

"Do I need to personally confirm with Zhou Xubai whether he shares the same thoughts as you?"

Ye Tang's expression suddenly changed, and the smile in her eyes faded.

"Jiang Yining, I advise you to listen to me. If the Zhou family makes a move, their methods will be a hundred times more cruel than this."

"If you don't listen, things will get much worse in the future."

She left after uttering that warning.

The room had been quiet for less than half an hour when Zhou Xubai arrived.

He strode into the house and, before Jiang Yining could react, pulled her into a tight embrace.

"I'm sorry, Ningning, I've made you suffer."

"I will soon be able to completely sever ties with the Zhou family. Until then, I must protect you."

He loosened his arms and looked intently at Jiang Yining.

"Come with me to get the marriage certificate. Once you're listed in the Zhou family genealogy, according to the family rules, they won't be able to touch you."

"I know this is abrupt, but it's the only way to protect you right now."

Jiang Yining found it absurd, pushed him away, and looked indifferent.

"This is not the time to talk about this. I don't need this kind of protection. You should go back now."

Zhou Xubai, however, refused to back down.

"You have no idea how ruthless the Zhou family is. They're vicious and cruel. I can't just stand by and watch you be in danger!"

"Only by getting a marriage certificate can I rightfully protect you."

"I can handle my own affairs."

Jiang Yining's attitude was firm.

Zhou Xubai stared at her intently, a hint of frustration and bitterness flashing in his eyes.

"You're so unwilling? Is it because of Fu Huaiyan, right?"

Jiang Yining smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"This has nothing to do with anyone else, Mr. Zhou. There are some things I need to make clear."

"We're not a good match. There's no need to force it. Please leave."

Zhou Xubai clenched his fists, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Jiang Yining.

"Please leave."

After a brief standoff, Zhou Xubai had no choice but to leave.

After the person had completely left, Jiang Yining let out a long sigh of relief.

They immediately upgraded the security of the entire house, reinforced the monitoring of doors and windows, and eliminated all potential risks.

After I finished, a text message from an unknown number popped up.

[Let's meet and put an end to this once and for all.]

Jiang Yining knew who the other party was immediately.

Qin Zhengtao!

Her gaze turned cold as she replied.

You escaped from prison and dared to show your face in public?

The other party replied almost instantly.

[What's there to be afraid of? You really think you've won everything? Jiang Yining, don't you want to know the whole truth?]

What do you want?

I want this all settled alone. Don't tell anyone, or else I'll give you a try!

After that, no matter what Jiang Yining asked, the other party did not reply.

She knew in her heart that this was definitely a setup.

But she had to keep the appointment and completely resolve this potential problem.

Jiang Yining immediately entrusted Fu Jiayu to Ji Shu.

She also told Shen Sinian about Qin Zhengtao's invitation to meet her.

Shen Sinian looked serious and immediately objected.

"You can't go. This is definitely a trap. He's a fugitive now and doesn't care about anything. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"I know it's a trap, but some knots must be untied by ourselves."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Seeing that she was determined, Shen Sinian stopped trying to dissuade her and said in a deep voice.

"I will secretly deploy surveillance to protect you and follow you closely throughout the entire process. You can rest assured that your safety is the top priority."

Jiang Yining nodded.

Before leaving, she dialed Fu Huaiyan's number.

This time, the other party answered.

Fu Huaiyan's hoarse and tired voice came through.

"What's wrong?"

Why didn't you reply to my messages or answer my calls before?

"Too busy, didn't see it."

Jiang Yining frowned, quickly recounted Qin Zhengtao's matter, and added at the end.

"Jiayu is with me for now. Come pick him up when you have time."

"I feel at ease leaving it with you."

After a brief silence, Fu Huaiyan suddenly murmured...

"Don't worry, everything will be alright, it'll be resolved soon..."

The voice was too soft, mixed with faint sounds of argument, and Jiang Yining couldn't hear it clearly.

Just as I was about to ask further questions, the call was abruptly ended.

Just then, Qin Zhengtao called again.

"Jiang Yining, an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. I need to see you within an hour."

"If you're even a minute late, Shen Tian, ​​you can forget about living."
