Regretful Beijing Marriage

A high fever, accompanied by aches and pains, swept through my limbs and bones.

Jiang Yining instinctively resisted Fu Huaiyan.

She was just weak and powerless.

He didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"You have a fever, drink some water first."

Jiang Yining was too exhausted to argue.

She let Fu Huaiyan's palm support the back of her neck, using his hand as leverage to sip the warm water.

My dry, burning throat felt a little better.

But the burning sensation in his body did not diminish at all.

My body is getting heavier and heavier.

Jiang Yining knew she couldn't continue like this.

She struggled to stay conscious and tried to get out of bed to find her medicine.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, Fu Huaiyan handed her the prepared fever-reducing medicine and warm water to her lips.

"Take your medicine first."

Jiang Yining was too lazy to be pretentious.

The body is the capital.

She can't ruin her health for someone like that.

Jiang Yining tilted her head back and swallowed the medicine, her voice hoarse and dry.

"Thank you, please leave now."

Fu Huaiyan didn't say anything, and stood up.

But then he brought out a warm towel that had been soaked and wrung out.

When Fu Huaiyan placed the towel on her forehead, Jiang Yining almost instinctively tried to pull away.

"I can do it myself, you can go out now."

Fu Huaiyan did not stop moving. He raised his eyes and stared at her intently, his deep eyes hiding unfathomable emotions.

Are you sure you want to worry about these things now?

Jiang Yining tried to sit up, propping herself up on her arms, but Fu Huaiyan pressed down on her shoulder.

With her other hand, she lifted the blanket and removed the gauze from her lower back.

"He has a persistent high fever and an external injury on his back. If it is not treated promptly, it can easily become inflamed and infected, and I don't need to elaborate on the consequences."

Jiang Yining's eyes suddenly turned cold.

It's ridiculous.

Ultimately, all the injuries on her body were inflicted by him and the Shen family.

Fu Huaiyan has no right to put on airs and act like a good person in front of her!

Jiang Yining was completely exhausted and had no strength to resist.

She could only let Fu Huaiyan bend down and apply the medicine.

The wound, which had been blistered, had white edges, was swollen and shiny, and the surrounding skin was red and hot.

When Fu Huaiyan wiped the edges of the wound with an alcohol swab, Jiang Yining flinched in pain.

But she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

"Just bear with it."

The ointment felt cold when it was applied, and Jiang Yining shrank her shoulders.

Fu Huaiyan took the gauze and wrapped it up again.

Use your fingertips to press the tape flat along the curve of the waistline.

The movement was light, but the warmth penetrated through the thin gauze.

It touched her burning skin like a small flame.

"Alright."

Jiang Yining's voice was terribly hoarse. "You can go now."

Fu Huaiyan remained silent.

Jiang Yining didn't care.

She turned over so her back was to him.

It soon fell asleep again.

I was woken up again by my phone ringing.

Jiang Yining was left alone in the room.

She picked up her phone and saw Zhou Xubai's name.

When I answered, my voice was still hoarse.

"Ningning, how are you?"

Zhou Xubai's voice was unusually tense.

Have you seen the trending topics?

Jiang Yining is not fully awake yet.

She subconsciously clicked on the trending topics.

The first one is that the toxic female psychologist maliciously pushed a child into the water.

Clicking on them reveals surveillance screenshots.

The accompanying text was increasingly disgusting.

The comments section is even dirtier.

The screen is filled with the phrase "a life for a life."

They practically cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations.

Having experienced this again, Jiang Yining was able to remain calm and composed.

"I'm fine, I'll be right back."

Zhou Xubai paused for a moment, then offered words of comfort.

"Ningning, don't panic."

"Everything is normal at the clinic, and the public opinion situation isn't as bad as you think."

Jiang Yining thanked her in a low voice.

After hanging up the phone, she forced herself to get out of bed.

As I was leaving, I bumped into Shen Miaoyin.

The moment Shen Miaoyin saw Jiang Yining, hatred surged in her eyes.

Without saying a word, she raised her hand to hit her face again.

Before the slap could land, Song Yu stopped him halfway.

Song Yu's voice deepened, tinged with anger.

"The matter is still under investigation. We'll discuss it further once Xiaotian wakes up."

Shen Miaoyin's eyes reddened, feeling both angry and aggrieved, and she screamed uncontrollably.

"Song Yu! What kind of drug did she give you?! Why do you always protect her?!"

"She's inherently vicious! Xiao Tian has been targeted and hurt by her time and time again, can't you see any of that?!"

Jiang Yining was too lazy to deal with the situation and didn't stop walking.

"Stop! Are you trying to run away because you feel guilty?"

Xie Xingzhou strode forward and blocked his way, his tone full of sarcasm.

Lu Yunshen gave Jiang Yining a cold look.

"Shen Tian is still in danger. Is it appropriate to leave now?"

Jiang Yining stopped.

She turned around, her face, still flushed from the fever, flushed an unnatural red.

But his eyes were as cold as if they had been quenched with ice.

"I didn't push him, so what does it matter to me whether he lives or dies?"

"you--"

Just then, Chung Yi was helped out by a maid.

Shen Miaoyin immediately suppressed her anger, quickly stepped forward to support Zhong Yi's arm, and said with red eyes.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry to have ruined your banquet."

Zhong Yi shook her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Yining.

She looked at Jiang Yining's pale face and the thin layer of fatigue in her eyes, and asked a question in a very soft voice.

"What exactly happened yesterday?"

Jiang Yining stood in the corridor, her shoulders straight.

Despite the pain from her injuries and burns, she stood firmly.

"Shen Tian has been harassing me the whole time, and I don't want to pay any attention to him."

"During the struggle, he lost his balance. I grabbed him, but he struggled instead, pulling me into the water with him."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Shen Miaoyin screamed and tried to rush over, but was quickly held down by Song Yu.

"That's the truth, believe it or not, it's up to you."

Jiang Yining had no interest in wasting time talking to them.

Zhong Yi was silent for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.

I believe you.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Song Yu, who had always defended Jiang Yining, looked surprised.

When has his mother ever trusted anyone so much?

Even if Jiang Yining saved her mother's life.

That's not enough to make Mom trust her so much.

What kind of magic does Jiang Yining possess...?

Zhong Yi looked at Jiang Yining, her eyes filled with something indescribable.

It felt like guilt, yet also like a deeper confirmation.

He moved his lips and added another sentence.

"You can't do that."

The sound was very soft, but Jiang Yining still heard it.

Chung Yi's words had a hidden meaning!

Before Jiang Yining could ask any further questions, the doctor came over.

"Young Master Shen is out of danger."

Shen Miaoyin glared at Jiang Yining fiercely, then turned and rushed into the ward.

Jiang Yining also turned and left. The fire had left her dizzy and weak.

"Jiang Yining, aren't you going in to take a look?"

Xie Xingzhou's voice came up from behind again.

"What, afraid your lie will be exposed on the spot?"

Lu Yunshen added a sentence.

"Since you say you feel wronged, you'd better explain it to my face, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to Huaiyan."

Repeated provocations ignited Jiang Yining's fury.

She turned her head to the side, and a thin, almost invisible curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Then let me know when it's time for the funeral."

She paused, her tone turning icy.

"As for Fu Huaiyan, whether he lives or dies is none of my business. Why should I bother explaining myself to him?"

After saying that, Jiang Yining did not linger.

As I turned around, my gaze unexpectedly met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Fu Huaiyan appeared behind him without him noticing.

His brows furrowed, and his deep gaze was fixed on her.

Unable to distinguish between joy and anger.
