Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining immediately frowned and refused outright.

"I have a lot of things to do today, so it's inconvenient for me to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Jiayu's face fell instantly.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, tears welled up in them, and she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry out loud.

"Can't Mom do it even for just one day?"

"Dad finally agreed to spend time with me, so is Mom going to be absent again?"

The maid was anxiously wringing her hands.

"Madam, the young master has been waiting for this for so long, please don't make him sad today."

Hearing this, Jiang Yining felt as if she had been doused with ice water.

Since her son was born, she has done everything herself.

Fu Huaiyan never participated in these kinds of school activities.

Why didn't anyone say not to upset the child when Fu Huaiyan was absent before?

She was labeled an unforgivable sinner simply for missing one trip.

This is truly a perfect example of double standards.

Jiang Yining's expression grew even colder.

"No one notified me, and I never agreed to go."

Fu Huaiyan's deep black eyes locked onto her.

"You're the one who accompanies him to the parent-child competition every year."

Jiang Yining paused for a moment.

Then she remembered that she had been keeping track of these days all along.

My son's parent-teacher meetings, sports meets, and parent-child activities.

Her notes were filled with markings.

Preparations begin a week in advance.

The clinic has been closed and reopened in the past few days.

She's in a hurry to get a divorce.

I'm so busy every day that I completely forgot about this.

She goes every year, but he's never there.

He finally came this year, but she didn't want to go anymore.

Good.

A good start.

Jiang Yining looked up, her tone distant and indifferent.

"Then it's your turn to go this year. Anyway, for so many years, I've always been the only one accompanying him, so it won't make a difference if I'm not there this time."

After saying that, she didn't linger and turned to leave.

Fu Jiayu burst into tears.

He ran over, his face covered in snot and tears from crying.

"Mom, I bragged to all my friends at kindergarten yesterday that both Mom and Dad will be with me for the competition this year!"

"If you don't go, they'll all laugh at me!"

Jiang Yining looked down at the hands that were wrapped around her legs, her voice flat.

"Fu Jiayu, that's your own business."

"Your father was often absent in the past, but I've never seen you cry and make a fuss like this."

Fu Jiayu's mouth was agape and he was stuck.

Tears still clung to her chin, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Jiang Yining had no intention of getting entangled any further. She gently pushed the child's small hand away and was about to leave.

A gust of wind followed from behind, and her wrist was grabbed.

Jiang Yining turned her head and saw Fu Huaiyan standing behind her, his fingers gripping her wrist.

It doesn't hurt, but I can't break free.

Jiang Yining felt a surge of impatience and was about to question him when Fu Huaiyan's cold male voice rang out first.

"Are you planning to walk down the mountain by yourself?"

Jiang Yining's words stuck in her throat.

She was forcibly taken back to the old house by him last night; she did not drive over herself.

Walking down the mountain is too time-consuming.

Jiang Yining suppressed her irritation and didn't bother arguing.

"Please take me to the foot of the mountain."

She withdrew her hand, opened the passenger door, and got in.

The driver, observing the situation closely, remained silent throughout, not daring to utter a single word.

After the father and son were seated, the car was started and they set off.

Fu Jiayu, sitting in the back seat, was sullen, his little head drooping.

After a long pause, he asked in a low voice with a heavy nasal tone.

"Mom, can't you even come with me for just a little while?"

"no."

Jiang Yining's tone remained firm in the slightest.

Fu Jiayu shrank back into the back seat and remained silent.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was oppressive and stagnant, so stifling that it was hard to breathe.

The car quickly arrived at the roadside at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Yining signaled for the car to stop.

The driver subconsciously glanced at Fu Huaiyan in the back seat, but saw that the man had a cold expression and did not stop him.

It slowly pulled over and came to a stop.

As Jiang Yining unbuckled her seatbelt, a silver sports car circled around from behind.

It stopped right in front of the car.

The car door opened, and Shen Miaoyin stepped out in her high heels.

She was wearing a beige dress, her hair was loosely tied up, and she had a sweet smile on her face.

Shen Miaoyin walked straight to the back seat, opened the door and sat down, pulling Fu Jiayu onto her lap, her voice soft and bright.

"Jiayu, be good. Today, your dad and I will accompany you to the parent-child competition, okay?"

Fu Jiayu's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked up in surprise.

"Really?"

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

She secretly peeked through Shen Miaoyin's arm to see Jiang Yining standing outside the car.

Jiang Yining had already gotten out of the car and was closing the door.

Shen Miaoyin followed his gaze to look out of the car, then turned back and pinched his cheek with a smile.

"What's wrong? Don't you want Aunt Yinyin to go?"

"think!"

Fu Jiayu blurted it out, then immediately realized he shouldn't have said it.

He shrank his neck and lowered his voice.

"Aunt Yinyin and Daddy are so kind. I wish the three of us could live together forever."

Children's words are indeed both naive and cruel.

Jiang Yining couldn't describe her emotions.

The pain was so intense that I became numb and lost all feeling.

But my steps were still a little heavy.

Without pausing, she quickened her pace and left.

Jiang Yining hailed a taxi, got in, and quietly looked out the window.

Perhaps, this is the best ending.

Fu Huaiyan married his new love.

Fu Jiayu found a mother he liked.

And she gained her freedom!

From then on, they had nothing to do with each other.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Jiang Yining took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

I cleared my mind of all the messy thoughts.

Zhao Jia was moving documents when she saw her coming and immediately waved.

"Ningning, the job seekers have arrived. They're in the meeting room, and their resumes are all on your desk. Please take a look."

Jiang Yining nodded and sat down for the interview.

The person Zhou Xubai recommended was indeed reliable.

Related to my major.

Their resumes are all impressive.

Jiang Yining nodded at Zhao Jia.

"Keep them all here and take them to their new jobs."

Zhou Xubai arrived around noon.

A woman followed behind him.

He had short hair, was very tall, had broad shoulders, and stood ramrod straight like a soldier.

His gaze swept over us with a sharp, piercing edge.

"Ningning, this is Ling Qi."

Zhou Xubai turned to the side to introduce.

"A retired soldier, quite skilled."

"You're just starting out, so there should still be someone present when the patient is emotionally unstable."

Ling Qi took a step forward, her voice crisp.

Please let me stay.

Jiang Yining had a good impression of Ling Qi's decisiveness and turned to look at Zhou Xubai, her eyes full of sincere gratitude.

"Xu Bai, thank you so much. You've been so thoughtful and helpful."

Zhou Xubai waved his hand, then hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something but swallowed it back.

Ling Qi wisely withdrew and closed the door behind her.

Zhou Xubai then spoke in a low voice.

"Ningning, were you alright yesterday?"

Jiang Yining smiled, shook her head, and didn't want to say anything more.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Seeing this, Zhou Xubai stopped asking questions and yielded considerately.

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Jiang Yining spent the entire day in the office.

At five o'clock in the evening, she was engrossed in revising a consulting proposal when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened, and Sun Zhenping walked in with a smile.

"Miss Jiang, I apologize for this intrusion; I hope you won't find me unwelcome?"

Jiang Yining was stunned for a moment, then stood up in surprise.

"Mr. Sun? What brings you here?"

Jiang Yining was very grateful for his help in clarifying things last time.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to thank you in person.

Sun Zhenping pretended to be angry and raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"Judging from that tone, you really don't welcome me?"

"That's not true."

Jiang Yining was both amused and exasperated, and got up to pour tea.

"You're welcome, of course. Would you prefer tea or just water?"

Sun Zhenping waved his hand and got straight to the point.

"No need to rush, I came here today specifically to talk to you about serious business."

"I have a client I'd like to introduce to you, but I'm not sure if you're ready for it."
