Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining was utterly speechless.

What does that mean?

Is he planning to cling to her?

She couldn't be bothered to waste words with the Shen family.

Just as Jiang Yining took a step, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Shen Sinian stood in front of her, his brown eyes looking at her earnestly.

"Miss, please do me a favor. I really have an urgent matter and can't afford to wait any longer."

Jiang Yining: "..."

The Shen family members are all like leeches.

She ignored him.

The next moment, the middle-aged woman on the ground immediately raised her voice and screamed at them.

"Oh! So you had accomplices!"

"Look everyone, this is the setup they've set up!"

"You all have to be the judge for me; we can't let them leave!"

The crowd of onlookers instantly stirred and gathered around several more times.

Jiang Yining was stuck in the middle and couldn't go anywhere.

She lowered her eyes, growing increasingly impatient.

She really shouldn't have been so kind and meddled in other people's business.

She gave him a clue, but he repaid kindness with enmity.

Drag her into the water.

Jiang Yining turned around and glared fiercely at Shen Sinian.

Shen Sinian gave her an innocent look.

Jiang Yining pursed her lips, her whole face falling.

She knew she would never get along with the Shen family in this lifetime.

The arguing around them grew louder and louder.

Jiang Yining was too lazy to waste any more words arguing, so she took out her phone and dialed the police.

"Hello, officer, I need to report a crime."

"No. 18 Dongxing Road, please come over here."

"There are professional scammers here who extort money in public. Please verify how many years they can be sentenced to for this kind of behavior."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face visibly changed color.

He got up, pointed at her, and started cursing.

"What nonsense are you spouting, woman! Everyone saw it; he hit me!"

Jiang Yining curled her lips coldly and pointed to the surveillance camera at the intersection.

"People can lie, surveillance cameras can't."

"The intersection is under full HD surveillance, so any collision can be easily checked."

"You've been extorting money and causing accidents in this area for years. You should have been dealt with according to the law long ago. Go talk to the police if you have anything to say."

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth.

He glared fiercely at Jiang Yining.

Then look at the camera at the corner.

He got up cursing and ran into the crowd.

Once the onlookers realized there was no more excitement, they quickly dispersed.

Jiang Yining, adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, explained the situation to the police and then drove away.

Before he even got on the car, Shen Sinian caught up from behind.

I stopped in front of her car door and solemnly thanked her.

"Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have been trapped."

"I don't even know your name yet, but I owe you a favor, and I will repay you in the future."

Jiang Yining paused as she opened the car door.

She turned around and looked into Shen Sinian's brown eyes, feeling only irony.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, the curve cold and thin.

"What are you Shen family members pretending for!"

"My ancestors for eighteen generations—I'm sure every member of the Shen family has a copy. Now you're asking me my name? Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Jiang Yining's words were barbed and merciless.

"Your entire Shen family disgusts me."

"Stop bothering me, I'm not one of you!"

Shen Sinian frowned slightly.

But Jiang Yining was too lazy to listen.

She opened the car door and drove away.

In the rearview mirror, Jiang Yining saw Shen Sinian standing by the roadside, staring blankly at the back of her car.

Those brown eyes followed the taillights without moving.

She stepped on the gas and turned out of the alley.

I should have known better than to meddle in other people's business.

Back at the clinic, Jiang Yining suppressed all her emotions and threw herself into her work.

When I looked up again, it was already dark outside.

Just then, my phone vibrated.

It was Ji Shu calling.

The moment the call connected, Ji Shu's weak and feeble voice came through the receiver, heavily tinged with drunkenness.

"Ningning, come pick me up at XX Bar, I can't take it anymore..."

Jiang Yining's heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed her bag and ran downstairs.

"I'll be right there."

Ji Shu would never call her about something like this.

If they call now, they must be in a really bad mood.

When they went downstairs, Fu Huaiyan's car was not there.

However, Jiang Yining was too lazy to care.

If Shen Tian were to be kidnapped and go missing, Fu Huaiyan would definitely be in a terrible predicament.

I don't have time to care about her.

That would be best.

Jiang Yining rushed to the bar as quickly as possible.

The bar was dimly lit.

The music was so loud it made the floor shake.

This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Yining looked around twice before finally finding Ji Shu in a corner booth.

Ji Shu slumped against the sofa armrest, her face burning red.

Her eyes were squinting, and there was a little lipstick smudge at the corner of her mouth.

Several men nearby had their eyes glued to her.

Jiang Yining could read those things in his eyes at a glance.

Jiang Yining's face immediately turned cold.

She quickly stepped forward, took off her coat, and draped it over Ji Shu.

She bent down to help the person up and asked in a low voice.

"Shushu, how are you? Can you still hold on?"

Ji Shu barely managed to lift her eyes, leaning on her shoulder as she breathed out.

"Take me to the restroom."

Jiang Yining helped Ji Shu through the crowd and into the restroom.

Along the way, she could feel that most people were looking at them.

Those filthy eyes made me want to vomit.

We must leave as soon as possible.

Ji Shu bent over and vomited violently into the toilet.

She was extremely weak.

Jiang Yining patted her back from behind, and after she finished vomiting, she handed her a tissue.

"Are you feeling better?"

Ji Shu washed her face by holding onto the sink, and her complexion improved slightly.

She waved her hand and cursed under her breath.

"Don't even mention it, those bastards tricked me."

The more I talked, the angrier I got.

"They said they'd sign a cooperation agreement after we drank, but it was all a scam. They deliberately got me drunk and tried to take advantage of me!"

Jiang Yining's expression grew increasingly serious as he gently patted her back and asked.

"Are you alright?"

Ji Shu immediately raised her fist, smiled, and spoke with a hint of smugness.

"Don't worry, I didn't lose out."

"We even turned the tables on them and utterly thrashed them, not letting them gain any advantage whatsoever."

Jiang Yining's lips curved into a smile as she was amused.

But that smile quickly faded.

She watched Ji Shu leaning against the sink, panting, and after a moment of silence, she earnestly made a suggestion.

"Shushu, stop doing that and come help me."

Ji Shu was slightly taken aback and looked up at her.

"My clinic is about to open, and we are short-staffed in every aspect."

Jiang Yining: "I don't trust outsiders. I only feel at ease when you help me."

Ji Shu's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.

Jiang Yining didn't let her speak, and added another sentence.

"Don't rush to agree. Go back and think it over carefully."

She softened her tone, staring into Ji Shu's eyes, feeling even more heartache.

When Mingming first met Ji Shu, she was bright and outgoing.

But over the years, she has changed.

Ji Shu didn't say it, but Jiang Yining could sense it.

She was unhappy.

"Shushu, your family members did it on purpose."

Even if you achieve something, they won't think highly of you.

"Why not come with me? Let's work hard together and make a solid difference."

Ji Shu's gaze softened slightly.

She had considered leaving.

But in the end, it was all about saving face.

Even now, she doesn't know whether her persistence was right or wrong.

Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Several faint sounds appeared outside.

Jiang Yining's gaze darkened, and she took Ji Shu's arm, lowering her voice.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's leave first."
