Regretful Beijing Marriage

Inside the car, Jiang Yining looked out the window, lost in thought.

In a daze, the car stopped in front of a small white building.

Jiang Yining then came to her senses.

"Xu Bai, where is this place?"

Zhou Xubai turned off the engine and turned to look at her.

"Ningning, go treat the wound first."

"Your back is torn and bleeding; you can't delay any longer."

Jiang Yining then noticed the bloodstains seeping from her lower back.

pain.

Zhou Xubai got out of the car and walked around to open the door for her.

She leaned on the chair to get down, the wound on her side twitched, and her brow twitched.

Zhou Xubai reached out and lightly touched the crook of her elbow, but didn't touch her waist.

An inconspicuous wooden sign hangs above the entrance to the white building.

Wen's Medical Clinic.

Jiang Yining paused for a moment as she looked at the sign.

Zhou Xubai pushed open the door; the inside was much larger than it appeared from the outside.

The medicine cabinets lined up against the wall for an entire length of it.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of traditional Chinese medicine and disinfectant.

An elderly man with gray hair came out from the inner room and smiled when he saw Zhou Xubai.

"You little rascal, you always go your own way, but you actually brought someone with you today? Even an iron tree can bloom..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Junshan's gaze passed over Zhou Xubai's shoulder and landed on Jiang Yining's face behind him.

The old man seemed to be nailed to the spot.

He took two steps forward, his lips trembling, and reached out to hold Jiang Yining's hand but then pulled it back.

"you……"

Wen Junshan's voice trembled, and his eyes instantly reddened.

"It really is you!"

Jiang Yining was stunned.

She hadn't expected to run into an old friend here, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions as she spoke softly.

"Dr. Wen, it's been a long time."

Wen Junshan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was choked and hoarse.

"I'm sorry, child."

"I'm sorry to your mother."

He was emotional, his body trembled slightly, and he even subconsciously wanted to kneel down and apologize.

Jiang Yining was startled and grabbed his arms to support him.

"Please don't say that. I never blamed you for what happened back then."

Wen Junshan shook his head with red eyes, his heart filled with remorse that was hard to calm down.

"It's my fault, it's my cowardice."

"I couldn't save your mother back then, but you put aside your past grievances and saved my only daughter."

"I owe you so much. I've felt guilty every day all these years, but I've never had the courage to reach out to you. I'm such a jerk."

He became increasingly remorseful as he spoke, and raised his hand to slap himself in the face.

Jiang Yining grabbed his wrist in time, pressed it down firmly, and helped him sit down slowly.

Jiang Yining sighed deeply, unsure how to react.

"It's all in the past."

My mother was terminally ill back then.

The legendary healer Wen Junshan was the only one who could save his mother.

But he is elusive and only helps those he is destined to help; even money cannot buy his services.

In order to find the miracle doctor, she had no choice but to turn to Fu Huaiyan for help.

Fu Huaiyan found out where Wen Junshan was staying for her.

She stood outside that dilapidated rented room for three days and three nights.

On the morning of the fourth day, Wen Junshan opened the door and let her in.

However, on the very day of the surgery, Wen Junshan suddenly changed his mind, stating that he was unable to save the patient.

They then disappeared without a trace.

My mother's surgery ultimately could not be performed.

He passed away not long after.

After that, she treated a 17-year-old girl.

Severe depression, self-harm tendencies.

It wasn't until the third treatment that she learned the girl was Wen Junshan's daughter.

She was sitting in the consultation room when she nearly broke the pen in her hand.

She wanted to rush up to Wen Junshan and ask him why he had agreed and then changed his mind.

If he doesn't want to help, he doesn't have to show up.

What kind of doctor gives hope only to extinguish it with their own hands?

But she didn't go.

She sat there, finished a glass of ice-cold water, and then continued treating the girl.

Her mother had taught her that hatred should not be her underlying nature.

"You can't get past this! You'll never get past it with me!"

Wen Junshan was in extreme pain.

He had no face to stand in front of Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining pursed her lips, and finally spoke softly.

"Dr. Wen, I know in my heart that even if you had performed the surgery as scheduled back then, my mother's body wouldn't have been able to hold on for long."

"As children, we always want to stay with our loved ones a little longer."

It was her mother who taught her to move forward.

But getting through it is easier said than done.

Wen Junshan's eyes reddened as he listened, overwhelmed by guilt.

"Miss Jiang, I really feel guilty towards you."

"Back then, I was too cowardly and too scared. Someone threatened my whole family's lives, forcing me to give up halfway."

"I panicked as soon as I got the call. If I had called the police, maybe the outcome would have been different..."

Jiang Yining was jolted, and her heart suddenly clenched.

"What did you say? Someone threatened you?"

"Yes."

Wen Junshan nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

"The other party's identity is mysterious. He only said that if I dared to treat your mother, he would make my whole family pay with their lives. I had no way to resist."

"Do you remember any distinctive features of the other person? For example, were there silver patterned buttons on their cuffs, with engraved symbols?"

Jiang Yining's voice trembled slightly, almost as if it were being squeezed out of her throat.

Wen Junshan paused for a moment, then recalled for a few seconds.

"Yes! I think there were some engravings... I can't quite remember, but the pattern was very unique... it looked like plum blossoms..."

With a loud bang.

Jiang Yining's mind went blank for a moment, and her blood almost froze.

Silver patterned buttons.

Plum blossom pattern!

It is a unique identifier of the Fu family.

You can't go wrong!

When Fu Huaiyan helped her find Wen Junshan, she thought he had at least put his heart into it.

Because of this incident, she endured it until now before finally deciding to get a divorce.

But is this really the truth?

Fu Huaiyan never intended to save her mother from the beginning.

He thought she couldn't find a miracle doctor!

How ridiculous!

Fu Huaiyan presented her with his hopes, only to crush them with his own hands.

Hatred and pain surged within.

It was gnawing at Jiang Yining's heart in a dense, swarming manner.

Just how far is he going to push her?!

Just then, the assistant knocked and entered.

"Dr. Wen, someone has come to us for help. They say a child is critically poisoned and we urgently need your assistance."

Just as Wen Junshan was about to wave his hand to shoo the person away, his assistant handed him the documents.

Jiang Yining caught a glimpse of the photo on the paper out of the corner of her eye, and froze.

It's Shen Tian!

Zhou Xubai followed her gaze, his expression suddenly turning cold. He snatched the documents from the table and slammed them down, blocking her way.

"Don't look."

"Dr. Wen, please treat Ningning's wound first."

Wen Junshan sensed something was wrong.

"Do you know this child?"

"More than just acquaintances."

Zhou Xubai answered for Jiang Yining, his tone cold.

"Ningning's wounds are all thanks to the Shen family."

Wen Junshan's face turned ashen.

He held Jiang Yining's hand, feeling extremely distressed.

"Ningning, you are a benefactor to the Wen family, a child I, this old man, have wronged my whole life!"

"Anyone who dares to harm you in the slightest is my enemy!"

As he spoke, Wen Junshan turned to look at his assistant, his voice sharp.

"Don't save them!"

"From this day forward, any member of the Shen family who comes seeking medical treatment will be refused entry and told to get out!"
