Regretful Beijing Marriage

A crack appeared on Shen Miaoyin's smile.

Her expression suddenly turned cold, and a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

"How dare you curse me?"

Jiang Yining didn't look at her.

Her gaze passed over Shen Miaoyin's shoulder and landed on the silent figure behind her.

Fu Huaiyan stood under the corridor lights, half of his face bathed in warm yellow light.

His face was obscured.

Even without looking at Jiang Yining, she knew that the only person who could stir up Fu Huaiyan's emotions was Shen Miaoyin.

"Fu Huaiyan, you'd better protect her for the rest of your life."

Jiang Yining's voice was as cold as ice on a lake in winter.

"I will take back what belongs to my mother sooner or later."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave with Zhou Xubai.

The next moment, Shen Miaoyin caught up from behind.

He grabbed Jiang Yining's wrist, his nails digging into her flesh, and questioned her loudly.

"Jiang Yining, you're the shameless thief! Say that again! What makes you think you can claim this jade pendant is your mother's?!"

Jiang Yining twisted her wrist slightly and suddenly flung Shen Miaoyin away.

Shen Miaoyin staggered half a step and bumped into the corridor wall.

A dull thud came from his shoulder.

She stared at Jiang Yining in disbelief.

With red eyes, she looked at Fu Huaiyan, but before she could utter a word of grievance.

The last bit of restraint in Jiang Yining's eyes was crushed, leaving only ferocity.

"Shen Miaoyin was originally my mother's keepsake. What do I have to be afraid to say?"

Jiang Yining turned her head to look at Fu Huaiyan, the corners of her mouth curving up, the curve as cold as a blade.

"Why don't you ask the person next to you who this jade pendant belonged to back then, and how it changed hands?"

Shen Miaoyin froze, standing there for two seconds.

He then let out a sneer.

"It's ridiculous that thieves are so brazen."

As she finished speaking, she took out another jade pendant from her pocket.

The pattern and texture of that jade pendant were exactly the same.

"Jiang Yining, have you no shame? Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

Shen Miaoyin held up the two jade pendants together in front of Jiang Yining and sternly rebuked him.

"These are a pair of jade pendants passed down in our Shen family. My mother and my uncle each have one."

"My mother's was stolen years ago and ended up on the market."

"Jiang Yining, your mother is a woman from humble beginnings, how could she possibly use this jade pendant?!"

As she spoke, Shen Miaoyin curled her lips into a vicious smile.

"Since you say this jade belongs to your mother, then your mother must have stolen it!"

This statement completely crossed Jiang Yining's bottom line.

All the blood in her body rushed to her head.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yining's face suddenly turned ashen, and she took half a step forward.

Shen Miaoyin was momentarily forced to shrink back by her imposing aura.

"My mother wore this jade pendant close to her body from the moment she was born, and it accompanied her throughout her entire life."

Jiang Yining's chest was churning with anger, and her eyes were sharp.

"This jade was stolen by your scumbag father! Now he's slandering my mother—how ridiculous!"

Shen Miaoyin was so angry at her retort that her face became slightly ferocious.

"Jiang Yining, stop talking nonsense!"

"Both jade pendants came from the Shen family; the evidence is conclusive. Do you still dare to deny it?"

"Like mother, like daughter! You're just like your mom, shameless to the extreme!"

"It's your Shen family that's disgusting!"

Jiang Yining interrupted her sharply.

"You'll find out exactly who stole it when you go back and ask that scumbag."

What is stolen can never truly be considered your own.

"Just like back then, someone went to great lengths to deceive my mother and steal her most precious years."

"These things will eventually have to be repaid!"

Jiang Yining was unwilling to waste any more words.

He turned and left.

He walked straight out of the auction hall.

As soon as I stepped out of the venue, a cold wind brushed against my face.

The wind blew Jiang Yining's bangs all over her forehead.

Countless gusts of cold wind blew in through my clothes.

But Jiang Yining seemed oblivious to it.

No matter how cold your body is, how can your heart be cold?

Zhou Xubai stepped aside to shield her from the cold wind.

"Give me a little more time, and I will get it back."

Jiang Yining gently shook her head, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart.

"Xu Bai, I will retrieve this item myself, but not now."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"I'm fine, you can go back now."

Zhou Xubai felt a pang of heartache looking at Jiang Yining's forced calm demeanor.

For the first time, he regretted leaving the port city.

If he hadn't left the Zhou family.

Fu Huaiyan can't take this jade pendant away.

There are no "what ifs".

If he hadn't left the Zhou family.

That's why I never met Jiang Yining.

Zhou Xubai ultimately said nothing and got into the driver's seat.

The two remained silent throughout the journey.

Jiang Yining leaned against the car window, her emotions churning.

She was far from as calm as she appeared.

This jade pendant belongs to my mother.

But it was snatched away by the mistress's daughter.

The thought of Shen Miaoyin wearing the jade pendant...

The anger in her heart surged uncontrollably.

But she had no way to solve it.

hold on.

She can definitely get it back on her own!

Amidst her conflicted thoughts, Jiang Yining's phone rang.

Two more comments appeared under that post on WeChat Moments.

Xie Xingzhou: [Have some shame, will you?]

Lu Yunshen: [I suggest you delete it; it's better for everyone.]

Jiang Yining looked at the two lines of text and sneered.

When I added her seven years ago, everyone seemed aloof and cold.

Her WeChat Moments are always completely locked.

At parties, she was treated like air.

Now they're all coming to unlock the permissions one by one.

I just wanted to yell at her a couple of times.

Birds of a feather flock together.

They're all equally disgusting!

Jiang Yining didn't have time to argue.

He tapped his finger twice.

The comments from Xie Xingzhou and Lu Yunshen have been deleted.

Then they all clicked "block".

It's clean.

She must never have anyone in her social circle who is associated with the Fu family again!

-

Inside a private room at the hotel.

Shen Miaoyin held a water glass and looked at Fu Huaiyan beside her with tender eyes.

"Huaiyan, thank you so much for today."

"If it weren't for you, this jade pendant, a family heirloom of the Shen family, would probably have been snatched away by Jiang Yining."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xingzhou immediately slammed his fist on the table, his face full of indignation.

"I've truly been amazed. Jiang Yining's viciousness is beyond my imagination. First, she provoked me on social media, and now she's even trying to steal the jade pendant!"

Lu Yun Shen frowned and replied.

"I think she's really gone mad, Huaiyan. If you still have a chance, bring her here to have her head checked."

Fu Huaiyan remained seated, his expression indifferent.

He remained completely silent throughout.

Seeing this, Shen Miaoyin lowered her eyes and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I don't want to say much, but Jiang Yining has really gone too far this time."

"She actually dared to say that the jade pendant belonged to her mother, but her mother was just an ordinary countrywoman, how could she possibly have such a jade pendant?"

"Absolutely shameless!"

Xie Xingzhou cursed out loud.

"Huaiyan, I can't stand your silence anymore. I have to teach her a lesson today and make her realize her place!"

He immediately took out his phone and opened Jiang Yining's chat window.

Xie Xingzhou typed half a line of text and sent it, when a red exclamation mark popped up on the screen.

He sent it again, and it still had an exclamation mark.

He then realized, "This woman actually blocked me!"

Xie Xingzhou was furious and immediately snatched Lu Yunshen's message.

It's still a red exclamation mark.

"You even blocked me!"

Xie Xingzhou's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

Jiang Yining used to be very polite to them because of Huaiyan.

Are they really going to use such extreme measures to force Huaiyan to go home?!

Xie Xingzhou refused to believe in superstition.

He absolutely had to send this message out!

He turned to look at Fu Huaiyan, who had remained silent the entire time, and gritted his teeth.

Give me your phone!
