Regretful Beijing Marriage

Fu Huaiyan showed no emotion.

His dark eyes glanced indifferently at Jiang Yining in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

He gave a low groan and then started the car.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was quiet.

Ji Shu was seething with anger. She leaned lazily on Jiang Yining's shoulder and deliberately raised her voice.

"Ningning, luckily my home is nearby."

"If I sit any longer, I'm definitely going to throw up."

Jiang Yining patted her hand but didn't reply.

Ji Shu rolled her eyes at the rearview mirror.

Fu Huaiyan remained expressionless.

Seeing this, Ji Shu felt even more aggrieved, and pursed her lips, too lazy to say anything more.

Just then, the car suddenly accelerated.

Fu Huaiyan's dark eyes were deep as he turned the steering wheel and made two consecutive turns.

The car sped along the road like a snake.

Immediately afterwards, the car made a sharp turn.

Ji Shu's head slammed directly into the glass.

She covered her forehead and cursed angrily.

"Fu Huaiyan, are you out of your mind? Can't you even drive?!"

"I think you're doing this on purpose, aren't you!"

Fu Huaiyan remained silent throughout.

The car did not slow down at all.

Jiang Yining frowned and subconsciously looked up at the rearview mirror.

A few car lights flashed at the intersection, flickered in her sight, and then disappeared.

It was too fast; she couldn't see it clearly.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Ji Shu's residential compound.

Ji Shu didn't want to stay a moment longer and quickly got out of the car, pulling Jiang Yining by the hand.

"Get out of here! It's bad luck to be around a lunatic!"

"Birds of a feather flock together; someone who can like a mentally ill person is obviously not normal either."

"Let's hurry back and wash up, this is so unlucky!"

Jiang Yining didn't speak, and just as she was about to close the car door, a deep voice came from above her head.

Fu Huaiyan's gaze fell indifferently on her.

"Weekend resort, room already booked."

Jiang Yining responded calmly and indifferently.

"Um."

The car door closed.

Fu Huaiyan did not linger and drove away.

Ji Shu stared at the direction the car had gone and spat out a disdainful "Pah!"

"You pretentious bastard, who are you giving attitude to!"

Jiang Yining chuckled and reached out to push her towards home.

"Alright, stop being angry and go back to rest."

"If you're free this weekend, come with me to a resort to relax and unwind."

Ji Shu pouted, still feeling disgusted.

"The thought that place belongs to Fu Huaiyan makes me feel nauseous."

But in an instant, she changed her mind.

"But we have to go! It's a rare opportunity, we can't let him off easy and bleed us dry, otherwise it would be a disservice to Ningning after all the suffering she's endured!"

Jiang Yining smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

After returning home with Ji Shu, she quickly washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

At that moment, the phone screen lit up.

A friend request pop-up appeared.

The note says Shen Sinian.

Jiang Yining intended to ignore it, but the other party immediately sent another verification message.

Please approve if you have something to inform me.

Jiang Yining frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally approved the application.

Shen Sinian's message arrived quickly.

【Miss Jiang, I apologize. Miaoyin's outburst and injury today was due to our Shen family's lax discipline. I will certainly keep a closer eye on her.】

Jiang Yining was too lazy to read this nonsense and was about to delete the message when Shen Sinian sent another message.

[Ms. Jiang, there's something else I need to confirm. Did you notice anything unusual on your way back?]

Jiang Yining felt a chill run down her spine.

Immediately recalling Fu Huaiyan's sudden acceleration earlier, she pressed for an answer.

[Is it related to today's kidnapping?]

Yes, the scarred man's name is Zhang Biao. He's blaming you for the failed kidnapping, and his accomplices who haven't been caught have already threatened to retaliate against you.

Jiang Yining's eyes were icy cold.

Shen Sinian then explained.

Zhang Biao was heavily in debt and had been involved in the underground trade for years. He had kidnapped Xiao Tian once before, got the money, and tasted the sweetness of success.

Now that we've arrested him, his associates won't let this go easily.

[It's our Shen family that's dragged you down. I've already arranged for people to protect you secretly, but I still need to remind you to be careful lately.]

Jiang Yining stared at the screen for a while, replied with a thank you, and then put away her phone.

She closed her eyes and mentally went through the events of the evening.

Zhang Biao made some harsh remarks as soon as he saw her.

Fu Huaiyan insisted on seeing them off earlier, which clearly shows he knew this as well.

They got rid of their tails for them.

This action seemed more like he was protecting her.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Jiang Yining laughed.

He wouldn't be that kind.

Even if he were to actually take action, it would only be to stabilize himself and protect Shen Miaoyin.

Jiang Yining turned over and pulled the blanket up to her chin.

Zhang Biao and his gang of ruthless thugs are vengeful and will never let him off easily.

If I had known I would get into trouble, I would never have bothered with the Shen family's affairs.

The next morning, Jiang Yining woke up on time.

Ji Shu was still asleep when I left.

She prepared breakfast, left a note, and went to the company.

Jiang Yining was busy all day long.

In the afternoon, she had to go out to deliver a document.

When Ling Qi got up, she also stood up.

"You don't need to come with me. Just stay at the company and handle your work."

Jiang Yining didn't turn around and walked out.

Ling Qi didn't move.

"I'll go with you."

Jiang Yining paused and turned to look at her.

"Is this Zhou Xubai's intention?"

Ling Qi did not give a direct answer.

"If Mr. Jiang has any questions, he can go to Mr. Zhou in person."

Jiang Yining nodded slightly and asked no further questions.

Things went smoothly, and on the way back I passed a dessert shop.

Jiang Yining went inside and picked out some afternoon tea, intending to bring it back to the company to share with everyone.

But just as she was walking towards the parking lot, Ling Qi suddenly changed her expression and shouted angrily.

"President Jiang, watch out!"

Before she could finish speaking, two forces simultaneously struck from both sides, pulling her backward.

Caught off guard, Jiang Yining suddenly leaned backward.

The dessert bag in my hand was scattered all over the ground.

The next second, a vase fell from the second-floor window.

The spot where she had just been standing was smashed to pieces.

A shard of porcelain flew off and grazed her ankle, leaving a thin, long trail of blood.
