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

Jiang Hua nearly hit her head on the back of the passenger seat. Shen Yebai reacted quickly, put his arm around her waist, and asked softly, his eyes filled with urgent concern, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Hua looked up and finally saw the car blocking the middle of the road. After seeing the license plate, she got out of the car and saw the driver acting as if nothing had happened, with an indifferent and calm attitude. This made Jiang Hua extremely angry. "Pei Zhan, you country bumpkin, do you want to die?!" she cursed as she strode closer.

Shen Yebai was worried, so he got out of the car as well.

Passersby looked on with curiosity, their gazes fixed on Jiang Hua. For a moment, everyone forgot about the accident involving the two cars, because their attention was entirely on Jiang Hua. The bustling capital city was never short of beautiful women, but they had never seen anyone so stunningly beautiful.

Humans are visual creatures; our senses are drawn to all things beautiful.

Xie Huai was a skilled driver and had received specialized training; neither vehicle sustained any damage.

Pei Zhan rolled down the car window and said to Jiang Hua, "Get in."

Jiang Hua crossed her arms, her eyes revealing annoyance. "If you want to die, go somewhere else and die. Don't go crazy here and harm other people."

"Your ID card is lost, so Miss Jiang needs to go and get a replacement in person. Otherwise, you'll really think I'm too idle to manage your Jiang Group while doing all this tedious stuff. If you're in a hurry to go on a date, you can talk about the visa later."

Jiang Hua frowned and impatiently cursed, "You can even lose my ID card, what use are you to Pei Zhan?"

"A good-for-nothing who's good at nothing but causing trouble."

After scolding her, he turned around and told Shen Yebai to go back first.

"Get out and open the car door for me."

Pei Zhan did as instructed.

Jiang Hua got into the passenger seat, and Pei Zhan stepped on the gas, turned the steering wheel, and drove off in front of Shen Yebai.

At 10:30 p.m., at the document replacement window, Jiang Hua filled in the information again, took a photo, and was told to come back in a week to pick it up.

As night fell, the moonlight flickered under the cover of dark clouds.

Pei Zhan, dressed in a black shirt with two buttons undone at the chest and a cigarette between his fingers, had shed his usual solemn demeanor and now exuded a more down-to-earth air. He stood patiently in front of the car, waiting for Jiang Hua to come out.

Half an hour later, Jiang Hua came out. Her expression was neither good nor bad. Her long, sharp eyes only glanced at him without saying a word. Pei Zhan's gaze fell on the charcoal gray suit he was wearing, which was somewhat glaring. He remembered that most of the suit jackets Jiang Hua had bought for him were the same style, except for the different cuts. The man pursed his thin lips. As Jiang Hua approached, Pei Zhan threw away his cigarette butt, stomped it out with his leather shoes, and the surrounding smoke dissipated. He opened the passenger door for her like a bodyguard, and Jiang Hua leaned over and got into the car.

Sitting in the car, neither of them said a word. With nothing to do, Jiang Hua picked up a new set of review case materials and started reading.

"It's rare to see that Miss Jiang can read books."

"When we get to the city center, drop me off and I'll take a taxi home myself." Jiang Hua turned a page as she spoke. "It's so late, so your Song Qingran won't be left alone in her empty room overthinking things. I've become the third party who interfered in your relationship."

Pei Zhan fell silent and did not speak again.

Jiang Hua's eyes felt dry and uncomfortable as she looked at the documents, so she simply put them away. She glanced at the person in the driver's seat next to her; Pei Zhan's expression was inscrutable, but Jiang Hua didn't care. "Isn't it nice to give President Pei some time to spend with the person he loves?"

"After all, you helped the Jiang family resolve such a huge crisis and brought such great profits to the company. As the dog's owner, you should occasionally put yourself in their shoes. Besides work, you should also consider your personal life. When you two get married, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Jiang Hua smiled, her expression open, confident, and generous.

Unexpectedly, the car stopped a second later...

This is the only road leading to the villa, and few people usually pass by. It is surrounded by mountains because this is a relatively good feng shui location in the capital city, and many villas have been built here. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a desolate wilderness.

"Naturally, she can't compare to Miss Jiang, who found herself a powerful backer so quickly."

"Otherwise, what are you going to do with it? I bet you're itching to change the Jiang family name to your own, Pei Zhan's, tomorrow!"

"Why did you stop? Drive!" Jiang Hua frowned as she looked at him.

The streetlights ahead seemed to be broken, flickering intermittently. A faint crackling sound of electricity could be heard from the quiet roadside, eerie and unsettling, making one fear that something terrifying might jump out at any moment.

Pei Zhan: "Out of oil."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua chuckled in front of him. Perhaps it was something she had never seen before, as her eyes revealed disbelief. Sometimes, when people are speechless, they really can't utter a single word.

"We can't be so poor that we can't even afford gas now, can we?"

"Pei Zhan, can you stop thinking about nothing but Song Qingran all the time? If I had known... I would have preferred to ride in Ye Bai's car! Do you even know what time it is? How long will it take to walk back?"

She'll probably die of anger at him someday.

Jiang Hua opened the car door and got out. The cold mountain wind blew, making her hair a little messy. She tucked her messy hair behind her ears. Fortunately, the road didn't have a big uphill slope, so the walk wasn't too difficult.

Pei Zhan also got out of the car. Seeing the person walking in front, he followed a few steps and walked in front of Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua has been physically weak since childhood and cannot engage in strenuous exercise. She was unsure if she could walk back, so she walked very slowly.

No matter how much Jiang Hua couldn't take it, she wouldn't bow her head and give in to him.

After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Hua was already starting to feel exhausted...

She leaned against a telephone pole and rested for a while before remembering to call Yulong Bay to ask Uncle Wang to come and pick her up.

However, just then, the voice of the person who had already left came, "Uncle Wang left the capital and will return tomorrow."

"I didn't even know Uncle Wang left the capital city, yet you know everything. How long have you been monitoring the Jiang family?"

Pei Zhan stood in front of her, his shadow cast by the lamplight overlapping with Jiang Hua's. Compared to the man's calm demeanor, Jiang Hua revealed far too much hostility.

To dispel her doubts, Pei Zhan told her, "I was right next to Chairman Jiang when he instructed Wang Qi to do the task."

Jiang Hua didn't believe a single word he said.

Jiang Hua's red lips curled into a smile. "Do you know what I see in you?"

"Hypocrisy and scheming!"
