Regretful Beijing Marriage

The man's expression remained completely unchanged.

Jiang Yining's gaze froze.

Shame and embarrassment overwhelmed me.

What's this called?

She, the wife, watched from a corner as her husband and his mistress went out together.

Jiang Yining instinctively wanted to look away to protect the last bit of self-esteem she had left.

But then, her fingertips suddenly clenched.

They forcefully stopped the retreat.

Why should she hide?

She wasn't the one who did something wrong.

Fu Huaiyan even dared to flaunt his mistress in public.

Then what is there for her to be ashamed of or to avoid?

In the brief two-second standoff, Fu Huaiyan's eyes remained completely calm as he indifferently looked away first.

It felt as if even a second of eye contact with her was superfluous.

Pooh!

You bastard!

Jiang Yining sighed, but could only curse inwardly.

The next second, a young heir from a minor family, eager to curry favor with the Fu family, spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu are truly a match made in heaven, an extremely perfect couple."

As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the entire room.

Everyone present was shrewd and astute.

Most people know in their hearts that Fu Huaiyan's rightful wife is not the one beside him.

A hint of smugness flashed in Shen Miaoyin's eyes, but she pretended to be gentle and dignified on the surface and quickly changed the subject with a smile.

"Everyone, stop standing at the door exchanging pleasantries and come in to take your seats. There are still many important events tonight's banquet, so don't just watch us."

Fu Huaiyan, who was by his side throughout, neither denied nor clarified the matter.

A default.

It speaks louder than a thousand words.

The crowd instantly understood and dispersed to enter the venue, their gazes toward Shen Miaoyin becoming increasingly respectful.

Everyone understands; this is Fu Huaiyan's public stance.

The person he was protecting was Shen Miaoyin!

Jiang Yining took in the whole scene.

A raging fire surged within his chest.

If she had been unwilling to accept defeat and was thinking of leaving, then...

Only now do I truly see Fu Huaiyan's ruthlessness.

Wearing an inappropriate dress and entering through a side entrance.

This is just the beginning.

Now is his real revenge.

He wanted her to see for herself how he would support Shen Miaoyin.

He didn't hesitate to personally crush all her dignity.

We also want to make her the most ridiculous joke in front of all the powerful and wealthy people in the city.

Jiang Yining clutched her chest, suddenly finding it hard to breathe.

This is what she got after 7 years of marriage!

"Miss Shen is so lucky. Mr. Fu is protecting her so well."

"Yes, although the Shen family was once very powerful, it has gradually declined and its influence is no longer in Jiangcheng. If it weren't for President Fu's support, they wouldn't have been able to make such a big show of things."

"Besides, Miss Shen has always had a heart condition, and many people in the industry look down on her in private. Only President Fu protects her and spoils her so much that no one dares to bully her."

Every word he uttered was a reiteration of Fu Huaiyan's blatant favoritism.

Jiang Yining clenched her knuckles so tightly they turned white.

Anger surged within me.

She could barely control herself; she wanted to rush up and tear the two scoundrels to shreds.

But a few seconds later, Jiang Yining regained her composure and forcefully suppressed all her emotions.

There is no such thing as fairness in this world.

She is powerless and vulnerable now; a direct confrontation would only bring her humiliation.

Fu Huaiyan gave her this extreme humiliation.

But she can also take advantage of this.

Although the old lady didn't like her, she still acknowledged her status.

Fu Huaiyan repeatedly provoked the old lady.

The old lady couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

And today's humiliation is her biggest bargaining chip in the divorce proceedings.

Fu Huaiyan doesn't care about his reputation.

But the Fu family cared, and the old lady cared even more.

If she could, she would just want to get the divorce certificate in a dignified manner, so that everyone could part amicably.

After all, if things really turned sour, she wouldn't be able to stay in Jiangcheng any longer.

Jiang Yining took a deep breath, suppressing the throbbing pain in her heart.

He then took out his phone and quickly snapped a few photos of the couple standing at the door.

As long as these empirical evidences are available.

Even if Fu Huaiyan insists on not getting a divorce, the old lady will never tolerate him continuing to humiliate his legal wife, for the sake of her reputation.

In the end, they will only compromise and agree to their divorce.

Jiang Yining put away her phone with considerable satisfaction.

Regardless, let's get a divorce first.

She can't afford to waste her life in the Fu family.

Just as I calmed down, a woman's voice suddenly rang out behind me.

"Don't you also think they're a good match?"

Jiang Yining was slightly startled and suddenly turned around, meeting the gaze of a strange woman.

The other person stared at her phone, their eyes scrutinizing her.

"You've got some nerve, daring to take pictures secretly."

The woman looked her up and down.

"Who brought you in? Why didn't they even give you a proper dress?"

Jiang Yining frowned, but hadn't spoken yet.

The woman slowly approached and lowered her voice.

"I advise you to delete it immediately. Others may not know the inside story, but I do."

"The person standing next to President Fu is not his real wife."

Jiang Yining's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of cold sarcasm in them.

"It turns out that everyone knew perfectly well that such behavior was dishonorable."

The woman looked at her as if she were a fool, her tone suddenly becoming serious.

"Who brought you in? You're asking for it! How dare you say something like that?"

"I'm asking you to delete the photos for your own good."

"Ms. Shen suffers from severe psychological trauma, accompanied by post-traumatic stress disorder. Her mother went completely insane after discovering intimate photos of her husband cheating, which led to Ms. Shen also becoming mentally unstable."

"Since then, Ms. Shen has been extremely averse to the camera, and she would lose control and have a seizure whenever she saw a camera."

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, a chill creeping into her heart.

What a shameless family!

She was clearly the other woman, but she insisted on pinning that label on someone else!

Does having money mean you can distort the truth and do whatever you want?!

Jiang Yining's chest heaved with anger, and she was about to retort.

What the other person said next made her feel cold all over, and her blood almost froze.

"And you probably don't know, but President Fu protected her to the extreme. Back then, someone maliciously exposed information about her mistress and illegitimate daughter."

"It almost caused the mistress's daughter to be expelled from school, and the incident caused quite a stir at the time."

"I heard that President Fu could have easily killed them all, but he deliberately left them some room to suffer, just so he could torment the mother and daughter day after day and avenge Miss Shen."

With a loud bang.

Jiang Yining's mind went blank, and her ears were ringing.

She froze completely, then asked incredulously in a soft voice.

"What did you say?"

The other party raised their chin smugly.

"These are all inside stories of wealthy families. I have connections. It's normal that you don't know. This is not a secret at all within their wealthy families."

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes, her heart feeling as if it were being stabbed by a sharp knife.

Each breath is painful.

My mother was inexplicably caught up in a media storm back then.

Their private information was exposed online, and they suffered cyberbullying.

She was at a crucial stage in her education and almost got expelled.

The mother's old illness relapsed due to the unbearable humiliation, and her condition deteriorated rapidly.

This incident also caused my mother's condition to worsen, and she passed away a few years later.

This has always been Jiang Yining's pain.

No wonder that person did it so flawlessly back then, and we couldn't find the real culprit behind it.

It turns out that the instigator was Fu Huaiyan.

From beginning to end, Fu Huaiyan regarded the mother and daughter as enemies who had harmed Shen Miaoyin.

They even resort to any means to retaliate and torture.

He didn't even bother to find out the truth or ask why, and almost ruined her life with his own hands.

Did the old lady know about it?

Or is it that the Fu family is just treating us like dogs?

It's a good thing she still remembers the old lady's kindness back then.

At that moment, Jiang Yining felt like a complete idiot.

What about her seven-year marriage of forbearance and compromise?

It turns out it was all a scam from beginning to end!

An overwhelming heartache swept over Jiang Yining, making it hard for her to breathe.

Her eyes were downcast, her fingertips trembled, and the cold was biting.

The woman was still babbling in my ear.

But Jiang Yining was completely deaf to it.

Even as her mother passed away, she was telling herself to remember the kindness of the Fu family.

But she didn't know that all of this tragedy was caused by Fu Huaiyan himself!

Jiang Yining bit her lip hard, a metallic sweetness rising on her tongue.

Just then, the camera flash suddenly went off.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was in an uproar and turned to look in the direction where Jiang Yining was.

In the center of the hall, Shen Miaoyin's face suddenly turned pale.

Startled, she threw herself into Fu Huaiyan's arms, covering her head with her hands and screaming shrilly.

"No...don't take my picture..."

"I feel unwell... please stop filming..."

Fu Huaiyan pursed his lips, his cold eyes sweeping around.

One look was enough to make everyone lower their heads in fear.

The host of the banquet, Song Qing, nervously wiped away his sweat.

His face was ashen, and he shouted angrily at the entire audience.

"Who's taking pictures? Step forward!"

The guests in the corner trembled with fear, and no one dared to utter a sound.

Song Qing's eyes were icy as she spoke again.

"Nobody's admitting it, huh? Immediately retrieve the surveillance footage and find this person!"

In the tension, a woman suddenly pointed at Jiang Yining and shouted loudly.

"It's her! I just saw it with my own eyes; she was the one secretly taking pictures with her phone!"
