No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

"I'll give you two hundred thousand, get out of my way!"

"You? Don't push your luck. I'm only keeping you as a mistress because I'm doing you a favor. Let me tell you, there's no woman in the entire capital I can't handle. You're coming with me today, whether you like it or not!"

The man stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Hua's slender wrist.

Damn, this woman is a real stunner!

"What are you doing! Let her go! If you... don't let her go, I'll call the police!"

"You little brat who hasn't even grown all her hair yet dares to meddle in my business! Get out of my way!"

Song Qingran was pushed to the ground.

Jiang Hua's brows furrowed slightly.

Just then, the bodyguard in the shadows immediately called Pei Zhan to report the situation.

Pei Zhan, who was just coming out of the conference room, answered the phone…

"Mr. Pei, something terrible has happened! Miss Song and Miss Jiang have met..."

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Pei Zhan stopped in his tracks, his eyes darkening with gloom…

Seeing the man forcibly taking the woman away, Song Qingran was thinking about what to do.

Suddenly, there was a 'bang'.

Jiang Hua immediately picked up a glass vase from the table and smashed it on the man's head.

A dull thud was heard, followed by a scream from the man as he clutched his bleeding head.

The man looked at the blood on his hands and glared angrily at Jiang Hua, "You bitch, you actually hit me!"

Just as he was about to attack Jiang Hua, the man slapped her, but Song Qingran appeared in front of her without her noticing and blocked the blow for her.

Song Qingran's face immediately swelled up, revealing a clear handprint.

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback.

However, just then, a policeman happened to pass by and witnessed the man taking action.

The police rushed over to stop it.

In the police station.

The police quickly identified Jiang Hua.

The police officer approached her in a friendly manner, "Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. Are you alright?"

Jiang Hua was a little confused, but she still asked about her condition, "How is she?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Song has been sent to the hospital for a check-up, and she should be fine."

"When can I leave?"

"You can go back once your family arrives."

Half an hour later.

Jiang Hua sat in the waiting room, but instead of Pei Zhan, it was Zuo Xiangnan who arrived…

Pei Zhan's assistant.

When she saw it was him, Jiang Hua couldn't tell whether she felt disappointed or something else.

It was as if... he had already guessed that it would be him who came!

Pei Zhan… knowing that Song Qingran was injured, must have rushed to the hospital without hesitation…

Jiang Hua hit someone, so a fine is unavoidable.

After Zuo Xiangnan paid the fine, Jiang Hua left.

Pei Zhan will send someone to handle the rest.

Zuo Xiangnan looked at Jiang Hua in the rearview mirror with tension and fear, gripping the steering wheel tightly, not daring to say a word.

I was terrified she would bring up those things!

For no apparent reason, Zuo Xiangnan wondered how Jiang Hua and Song Qingran had ended up meeting...

Jiang Hua closed her eyes, no longer revealing any emotion.

After arriving at the flower garden.

Jiang Hua didn't say a word, and simply opened the car door and got out.

Jiang Hua sat motionless on the sofa for seven hours straight…

It's getting dark!

Twelve o'clock in the morning.

Pei Zhan, still smelling of disinfectant, opened the door and walked in. It wasn't until he turned on the light that he saw Jiang Hua sitting motionless on the sofa.

The television screen reflected those numb, lifeless eyes.

The man saw it all.

And...that document on the table...

This includes printed photos.

Jiang Hua had already prepared it and placed it on the tea table.

After a long silence, Jiang Hua finally spoke, "Is she alright?"

Pei Zhan glanced at her briefly before turning and walking toward the master bedroom.

That's just how he is; he has no temper whatsoever.

I always accommodated her.

No matter what she does or what she's like... he always just ignores it.

But... this time... Jiang Hua doesn't intend to keep up the act anymore.

They continued to pretend, acting as if they knew nothing!

He changed the subject, saying, "Your salary for this month has already been deposited into your account. I'm tired, so get some rest."

Pei Zhan clearly didn't want to talk about what happened today. Even when he got home, he didn't offer his wife a single word of basic concern.

His heart was completely devoted to Song Qingran.

Normally, if she wants to have a meal with him, she needs to give him a week's notice. Even the simplest act of spending time with him is a luxury for Jiang Hua.

However, because Song Qingran was injured, Pei Zhan was able to spend the whole day with her at the hospital.

The lessons from the past life are enough.

She didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Jiang Hua: "Pei Zhan! This is the end for us!"

"Get a divorce!"

Pei Zhan: "Have you thought it through?"

By the time she moved back to the Jiang family villa, she had already thought things through.

Pei Zhan doesn't love her, so there's no need for her to keep pestering him; it's pointless.

Jiang Hua calmly gave him the answer, "I've thought it through!"

She then explained, "My meeting with her today was purely accidental, and you don't need to misunderstand me. I have no intention of doing anything to her!"

"Let's get a divorce tomorrow, at 9:30 in the morning. I'll be waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"...Dad, I hope you can keep this from him. He has a heart condition, and the doctor said he can't take any more shocks."

The words she spoke were like countless knives, slashing her heart again and again.

Pei Zhan never imagined that the word 'divorce' would come out of her mouth.

Jiang Hua... is serious!

Jiang Hua walked to the door, opened it, and was about to leave when she stopped, her hand on the doorknob. "I've already taken everything I needed to take. Throw away the rest. I don't need it."

With those last words, Jiang Hua... left for good!

Even after she left, Pei Zhan never tried to stop her from leaving.

Is Jiang Hua heartbroken?

It would be a lie to say I wasn't sad.

No matter how painful or heartbreaking it is... I've had enough heartbreak in my past life.

When Jiang Hua returned to the Jiang family villa.

Two o'clock in the morning.

One light was left on in the large living room.

The maid immediately stepped forward upon seeing the returning person, "Miss, didn't the young master come back with you?"

"It's so late, you must be hungry. There's a midnight snack simmering in the pot, I'll bring it to you right away."

Jiang Hua: "Why are you still here so late?"

The maid replied, "It was the master who asked me to wait for you. You haven't come back since you left. You must have been out having fun and lost track of time. So he asked me to leave you some fish ball soup, which is the young lady's favorite. The master made it for you himself."

Jiang Hua glanced upstairs; he should be asleep by now.

Jiang Hua, looking somewhat tired, said, "You should go back and rest too."

"Yes, Miss, you should get some rest too."

Jiang Hua put down her bag, sat at the dining table, and took small bites. A familiar taste spread in her mouth, the texture soft and sweet, just like her heart, which softened instantly. Tears suddenly streamed down her face...

Late at night, from the downstairs living room, a soft, suppressed sob could be heard…

Jiang Hua trembled as she ate everything in the bowl, bite by bite.

Half an hour later, Jiang Hua took off her clothes, went back to the bathroom and took a shower, letting the shower water pour over her head.

After showering, when she came out of the bathroom, she immediately saw the wedding photo she had taken with Pei Zhan on the headboard.

Afterwards, Jiang Hua cut up all the photos of Pei Zhan in the room and put them into a waste box, leaving only the wedding photo hanging on the wall above the bed. Jiang Hua did this just to avoid arousing her father's suspicion.

Jiang Hua stood at the foot of the bed, looking at the wedding photo. She couldn't forget it...

The last thing her father said to her on his deathbed was the same thing: "...Live a good life with Pei Zhan, and stop being willful."

Later... Jiang Hua stopped being willful and became more restrained.

However, after his father died, Pei Zhan brazenly chose to stay overnight at Song Qingran's place and never came back...

After nightfall, Jiang Hua had a nightmare in her sleep.

Suddenly, the woman on the bed made a painful sound…

"Pei Zhan, I want to drink water."
