Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining stopped in her tracks.

Fu Huaiyan's voice was still the same.

The water flow beneath the ice is just as steady, neither too high nor too low.

But every word is biting.

It was so cold that people couldn't help but shiver.

Fu Huaiyan didn't look at Jiang Yining; his gaze fell on Zhou Xubai.

"Attorney Zhou has practiced law for many years and should know and abide by it. To injure someone in public—is that knowingly breaking the law?"

"I think Mr. Zhou should quit being a lawyer."

That's a blatant threat!

Jiang Yining's eyes darkened.

With Fu Huaiyan backing her up, Shen Miaoyin instantly felt much more confident.

A smug gleam appeared in her eyes, and she gave Jiang Yining a defiant smile without any attempt to hide it.

But in an instant, she switched to a weak and aggrieved look, her eyes red as she played the victim.

"Huaiyan, I don't mind suffering a little grievance, but Xiaotian can't."

"He was born prematurely and has been weak since he was little. Today, he was only trying to protect me, which is why he impulsively stepped forward."

"I can't let him be bullied for nothing."

Shen Tian peeked half his face out from Shen Miaoyin's arms and grinned at Jiang Yining, making a face at her.

Then, he put on a righteous expression and stood in front of Shen Miaoyin.

"Sister, I'm 12 this year. I'm not afraid of pain. I'm going to make that wicked woman who hurt you pay the price!"

Jiang Yining stared at Shen Tian's face and suddenly felt a moment of disorientation.

12 is old.

If my mother hadn't been so upset that she went into premature labor.

Her younger sister is about the same age now.

But now the mistress's children are swaggering around outside.

The mother suffered greatly and died with resentment in her heart.

Those who do evil live a peaceful and prosperous life.

On what basis?!

The extreme injustice and frustration weighed heavily on Jiang Yining's heart.

She scoffed, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

"The world has really changed. These days, mistresses are so brazen."

"Shen Miaoyin, we should really expose your sinister and monstrous nature behind the scenes, so that everyone can see your true colors."

Shen Miaoyin's face turned pale instantly.

She subconsciously glanced around, afraid that some passerby might be taking pictures with their phone.

She quickly turned to look at Fu Huaiyan, hoping he would speak up for her.

But when her gaze fell on his face, she felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

Fu Huaiyan is looking at Jiang Yining.

Those dark eyes, which usually couldn't hold anything, held something Shen Miaoyin had never seen before.

Deep and profound.

Like water surging up from beneath the ice and bursting open the cracks.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Yining's move was truly vicious!

Zhou Xubai frowned and took a step forward to block Jiang Yining's view, shielding her from Fu Huaiyan's oppressive gaze.

"President Fu, please don't make arbitrary judgments based on your own subjective assumptions. This is a public area, and there is surveillance footage throughout."

"If you believe I have injured someone, you can call the police directly."

"If this is a baseless and intentional slander, I will not only pursue it to the end, but I will also make you apologize in public to restore your reputation."

Xie Xingzhou laughed in exasperation.

"Zhou Xubai, look at that security camera! It's an ancient relic installed in this godforsaken place, it's been broken for ages!"

"You clearly knew it all along; you're just like Jiang Yining!"

A fierce glint suddenly appeared in Zhou Xubai's eyes, chilling and intimidating.

"Mr. Fu, I hope you'd better keep a close eye on the people around you."

Fu Huaiyan remained indifferent.

"Mr. Zhou, in what capacity are you speaking to me now?"

The air froze instantly.

That’s it again!

Shen Miaoyin bit her lip, anger flashing in her eyes.

Could it be that Huaiyan is really starting to get jealous and is starting to care about Jiang Yining?!

Jiang Yining had no interest in wasting words with them, and her words were sharp and incisive.

"Since Mr. Fu insists on settling accounts, then let's settle both the old and new accounts together and give it a proper account."

She walked up to Fu Huaiyan and looked directly into his cold gaze.

"Call the police first, check if the shower in the guest room is broken, and see how Ms. Shen came out wearing my husband's bathrobe."

"Investigate that chandelier again. Who tampered with it? Who pushed me onto the vase and sharded my back with glass?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Jiang Yining, stop talking nonsense!"

Xie Xingzhou interrupted her, but his voice was weaker than before.

He knew Fu Huaiyan wouldn't do such a thing.

But Jiang Yining's injuries were not fake.

Could it be that yesterday...?

Jiang Yining sneered, her eyes full of mockery: "Whether it's a rumor or not, you can ask Fu Huaiyan yourself."

Xie Xingzhou turned to look at Fu Huaiyan.

Fu Huaiyan stood still, his gaze still fixed on Jiang Yining.

From that angle, you could see the bloodstains seeping from her lower back, a small patch of dark red peeking through the light-colored fabric.

Xie Xingzhou followed his gaze and glanced at Jiang Yining's back.

Then I looked at the expression on his face.

The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.

It's really not appropriate for an outsider like him to meddle in other people's affairs.

The situation was completely out of control, and Shen Miaoyin was utterly panicked.

She only wanted to provoke Jiang Yining into leaving quickly, and didn't expect to get herself into trouble.

If you investigate further, she won't get away with it.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Miaoyin once again put on a magnanimous and kind demeanor, took the initiative to hold Fu Huaiyan's arm, and softly persuaded him.

"Huaiyan, let's forget about it."

"I didn't mean to make things difficult for Miss Jiang, I just felt sorry for my brother who was wronged."

"Since everyone has their own version of events and says it was unintentional, let's just assume that Xiaotian fell down by accident and there's no need to pursue it any further."

Jiang Yining glanced coldly at her hypocritical appearance and sneered.

"What, you're backing down already? If you're feeling guilty, why waste everyone's time like this?"

After all this commotion, Jiang Yining was completely exhausted.

She reached out and grabbed Zhou Xubai's hand.

"Xu Bai, let's go. There's no need to waste time here."

Zhou Xubai nodded and considerately opened the car door for her.

Before getting into the car, he glanced at Fu Huaiyan indifferently.

"Ningning, if you need anything later, feel free to contact me."

"I can win any lawsuit for you."

Jiang Yining nodded slightly and bent down to get into the car.

Outside the car, Xie Xingzhou was furious, his face turning ashen, filled with resentment he had nowhere to vent.

"I've never seen such an arrogant and domineering woman! She's utterly unreasonable!"

Shen Miaoyin was still feeling panicked.

But she quickly adjusted her expression and reached out to pull Fu Huaiyan's arm.

"Huaiyan, let's take Xiaotian to see a doctor first..."

Fu Huaiyan slowly withdrew his gaze, his thin lips parted slightly, and he gave a faint reply.

The next moment, Shen Tian suddenly swayed and grabbed his own neck with both hands.

His mouth was wide open but he couldn't make a sound, and his face turned bright red.

He staggered two steps and fell to the ground, crashing to the floor.

His fingers were gripping his throat, convulsing as if in spasms.

Shen Miaoyin's scream pierced the entire street.

"Xiao Tian!"
