Regretful Beijing Marriage

Chapter 52: One slap, one treat

He can still speak so frankly.

Nausea!

Shameless!

Jiang Yining's lips twitched slightly, but she suppressed it.

The old lady's gaze suddenly turned to her.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

Jiang Yining paused for a second, then shook her head.

"no."

"Not angry?" The old lady stared into her eyes.

Jiang Yining then realized that the old lady hadn't given up yet.

The old lady did not intend to hold Fu Huaiyan accountable, nor did she have any intention of granting her a divorce.

Instead, he wanted to use this incident to reconcile them and force her to compromise and be magnanimous.

It's a pity that she might have been moved by these things seven years ago, thinking that the old lady cared about her.

I just feel cold right now.

"I'm not angry," Jiang Yining said. "It has nothing to do with me."

The old lady's face darkened instantly, and her chest heaved twice.

The knuckles of his hands were white as he gripped the corner of the blanket.

"you--"

Fu Huaiyan turned his gaze towards her, his eyes sharp as a knife, and called her name in a deep voice.

Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining completely ignored it, feeling only that it was absurd and laughable.

It's wrong for her not to be angry and to be magnanimous.

Being angry or jealous is also wrong.

What does she need to do to satisfy them?

After a long silence

The old lady waved her hand wearily, her tone impatient.

"Jiang Yining, you can leave now."

Jiang Yining didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

When I came out, the corridor was quiet.

As she turned the corner, a series of footsteps suddenly followed behind her.

Fu Jiayu grabbed her hand from behind.

Jiang Yining stopped and turned around.

Fu Jiayu looked up at her, his face scrunched up.

His lips were pressed tightly together, as if he had made a great decision before reluctantly opening his mouth.

"Mom, wait a minute, Dad will come out soon and we'll go home together."

Jiang Yining gently withdrew her hand.

"I'm not going back."

Fu Jiayu's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

I felt both wronged and angry.

"Mom, when are you going to stop making a scene?"

"If you think I'm the one who's been naughty and made you angry, I'll behave from now on, okay? Please stop making a fuss, alright?"

"I felt terrible watching my great-grandmother get sick, watching my father run back and forth, and seeing this strange atmosphere in the house."

After a pause, Fu Jiayu sniffed and gently shook Jiang Yining's hand.

"Mom, I won't throw a tantrum anymore, okay? I'll listen to you, and can our family be like before?"

Even her son, influenced by what he's seen and heard, thinks that the family's current state is because she's causing trouble.

They all seemed to have forgotten about Shen Miaoyin's existence.

It's as if I've gotten used to her submissive attitude.

Jiang Yining looked at Fu Jiayu.

I felt a sense of emptiness and lightness in my heart.

No matter what hurtful things her son said, she seemed to feel nothing.

Without looking at her again, Jiang Yining turned and left.

Fu Jiayu stood there, staring wide-eyed at her retreating figure as she walked towards the door.

He opened his mouth but didn't make a sound.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

As Jiang Yining walked to the entrance, she heard steady footsteps behind her.

Fu Huaiyan walked out.

The car keys in his hand flew towards her in an arc.

Jiang Yining instinctively caught it.

Looking down, I saw the key to a Lamborghini.

She recognized it; it was the latest model.

There are only 10 of them in the world.

"If you don't like it, go to the garage and change it."

Fu Huaiyan spoke in a calm tone, as if he were instructing a subordinate.

Jiang Yining looked at the exquisite and expensive key and found it incredibly irritating.

He tossed it back like a hot potato.

Is she some kind of despicable person?

Give a slap and then a treat.

"Let's leave Mr. Fu to Shen Miaoyin. After all, she loves picking up things that others don't want."

After saying that, she didn't linger.

Drive away.

On the way home, Jiang Yining gripped the steering wheel, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

She almost didn't hear her phone ring.

She frantically pressed the speakerphone button.

Zhao Jia's voice filled with ecstatic joy rang out.

"Ningning! Good news! The clinic is reopened, and everything is back to normal!"

Jiang Yining's eyes lit up.

She turned the steering wheel, and the car turned completely around.

When I arrived, the clinic's seal had already been torn off.

Two law enforcement officers were tidying up documents at the entrance.

The leader looked up, saw Jiang Yining, and nodded to her.

"Ms. Jiang, all the paperwork is complete. You can operate your business with peace of mind from now on, without any worries."

Jiang Yining was slightly taken aback, and after a couple of seconds of hesitation, she softly thanked him.

Zhao Jia rushed over quickly, cheering excitedly.

"Ningning, you're amazing! What connections did you use?"

"That Captain Wang, who's notoriously cold-hearted, was surprisingly polite today, not saying a single harsh word the whole time!"

Jiang Yining lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Shen Miaoyin moved quite quickly.

The terms discussed in the morning were fulfilled in the evening.

I don't know how she managed to bring it up with Fu Huaiyan.

Perhaps it was just a casual remark, but it made Fu Huaiyan take it to heart.

Now, not only have they removed the seals, but they've also spoken to law enforcement officers to ask them to take good care of the situation.

How ironic!

Jiang Yining suppressed her emotions and gave the order.

"Jiajia, the most urgent thing is to get back to work as soon as possible."

"I need to reopen within a week, so I need to hire people immediately."

"Received, mission accomplished!"

The two worked from day to night.

When Jiang Yining looked up again, it was already dark outside the window.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xubai walked in.

"Is everything resolved?"

Jiang Yining stretched, her expression softening slightly.

"It's almost done. All that's left is to hire people and finish up. Once everything is settled, we can reopen."

She looked up at him and invited him with a smile.

"If you're free on opening day, come help me with the ribbon-cutting."

"My pleasure."

Zhou Xubai responded gently and then spoke.

"By the way, I have a few people I can recommend. Have them come for interviews tomorrow, and you can screen them according to the standard procedure."

Jiang Yining felt a warmth in her heart.

"Okay, I trust the person you recommended 100%."

"The clinic has just reopened, and what it needs most is reliable and trustworthy people to help stabilize the foundation."

"It's getting late."

Zhou Xubai glanced at his watch and invited him with a smile.

"Haven't eaten yet? Shall we go grab something to eat?"

Hearing this, a feeling of hunger struck.

Jiang Yining turned off the computer.

"Let's go."

The two got up side by side and walked out, just as they pushed open the office door.

A figure lunged at him.

Before Jiang Yining could react, she was pulled into a tight embrace.

I almost got knocked down.

A familiar scent wafted over, and she heard a loud voice explode in her ear.

"Ningning! I heard everything on my way back! You've suffered! That bastard Fu Huaiyan is a real scoundrel!"

Jiang Yining was almost choked to death, and laughed while patting the other person's back.

"Shushu, be gentle! I'm not starving to death yet, but you'll strangle me first."

Ji Shu released her, took a half step back, and looked her up and down. Her eyes were still a little red.

"My business is temporarily finished, so I'm not leaving this time. I'll be there for you as you work hard from now on. If anyone bullies you again, I'll fight them to the death."

Jiang Yining felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to pat her shoulder.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing. You can come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony when it opens."

"Absolutely!"

Ji Shu wiped her eyes.

"I'll bring my uncle along too, to make sure you have a good show!"

After he finished speaking, Ji Shu belatedly noticed Zhou Xubai standing to the side.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the two men.

A knowing smile instantly appeared in his eyes.

She winked, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Who is this? Wow, sister, secretly harboring a secret romance! Is this your second spring?"
