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

Downstairs in the lobby, Jiang Weiguo was playing Go with Pei Zhan when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the corridor. Jiang Weiguo's hand trembled, and he put the Go piece back down. He stood up and turned around to look. Even Xu Qiulan, who was in the kitchen with a spoon in her hand, came out worriedly.

"What's wrong, Miss? What happened?"

Jiang Hua ran downstairs, powder puff in hand, touching up her eye makeup in front of the mirror. "Oh no, oh no, I can't cover up my dark circles. Waaah... I'm not pretty anymore..."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Weiguo gave them a helpless look before sitting down with peace of mind. "Don't make a fuss. I thought something had happened to you."

“I need to have a serious talk with you lately. You’re getting more and more out of control. Don’t think I don’t know. You’ve been coming home later and later. Pei Zhan said you were busy with your studies, so I didn’t think much of it. Who knows if you’ve been out fooling around again?”

"You didn't rest well, so just stay home and get some rest today. I'll have Pei Zhan pick you up tonight so we can go to the banquet."

Jiang Hua looked left and right, and only after confirming that her dark circles had faded a little did she close the mirror and put it in her bag. "I don't want to go, it's pointless."

"You really don't want to go? King Group has a lot of jewelry on display. If you like any of it, Dad will buy you a set."

Jiang Hua thought of something, turned around and sat down at the dining table. "If it were before, I probably would have reluctantly gone. But now, just thinking about how Zhou Yan is the design director of that King Group, and that she wants me to wear jewelry designed by such a tasteless person, makes me feel disgusted. Anyway, you can go if you want, but I'm not going."

"Ah, I remember now, today is the school anniversary, and Bao'er has a performance. I promised her, and I can't go back on my word."

Jiang Weiguo nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder... I also sent an invitation to Ye Bai, and I just received a reply. He has other scheduled activities today."

Jiang Hua said, "Dad, you're overthinking it. Brother Ye Bai won't go to Bao'er's performance. If Brother Ye Bai went, Bao'er would definitely not show up."

"The group also received an invitation to the Imperial University's anniversary celebration, but unfortunately, it clashes with my schedule. I can't go in person, so I had Pei Zhan take me. You guys better not argue or cause trouble at the university, okay?"

"If outsiders see this, they'll laugh at us."

Jiang Hua rolled her eyes. She had recently learned from Bao'er to say something unpleasant: "Tch, so what if he's going to show up? What does it have to do with me?"

"Who wants to argue with that dog? I'd rather pretend I don't know him."

Pei Zhan was there from the moment Jiang Hua woke up until she came downstairs, but Jiang Hua treated him like he wasn't there. Wouldn't it have been more to his liking for him to attend the Imperial University's anniversary celebration?

Jiang Hua had heard someone mention that Song Qingran had also signed up for the show, a solo dance in ancient style. She hadn't expected her to have this talent. Pei Zhan was really eating well.

Jiang Weiguo was going to the company today, and he waited until 10 o'clock to wait for Jiang Hua to come downstairs so he could take her to school.

Pei Zhan was driving on his way to school.

Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Hua sat in the back passenger seat. When they were almost at the school, Jiang Hua didn't let Pei Zhan get too close to the school and asked him to stop at a nearby intersection.

Jiang Weiguo: "I thought you were eager for everyone to know that you are my daughter, Jiang Weiguo's daughter. What's wrong? Is your father so ashamed to be seen by others?"

Jiang Hua picked up her bag and said, "Dad, just let it go. You've never stepped in to help me when I caused trouble before."

One sentence left Jiang Weiguo speechless. After thinking for a moment, he still tried to explain, "You know, Dad was busy all those years. I was just worried about you. I always made sure to handle things for you."

Whenever something happens, Jiang Weiguo understands his daughter's personality; as long as you don't provoke her, there won't be much trouble.

It's good enough that she doesn't bully people.

Her father didn't know that she had switched her major to jewelry restoration. If he did, he would probably be furious. So... she asked Pei Zhan to drop her off at the East Gate.

When Song Qingran arrived at the breakfast shop opposite the university gate, she bought breakfast and was walking on the sidewalk with her performance costume on her back and a glutinous rice ball in her hand.

Unexpectedly, the two met face to face right at the doorway.

Compared to Jiang Hua's unapproachable aura and natural presence, Song Qingran lowered her head timidly and walked to the side the moment she saw her.

Song Qingran is afraid of her!

But Jiang Weiguo, who was in a car not far away, noticed something was wrong. "Didn't Huahua say that she had a good relationship with Song Qingran? Now it looks like they're enemies. Do you know what's going on?"

Pei Zhan replied, "They probably had a fight; they'll be fine in a while."

Aside from the issue of Pei Zhan's relationship with his daughter, Jiang Weiguo trusted Pei Zhan completely in everything else, so he didn't doubt what he said.

Thinking of his promise to Huahua, Jiang Weiguo also had his own plans in mind.

Back then, Ji Liangchuan had absolutely no business acumen. Whether in terms of management or methods, he was far inferior to Pei Zhan.

That period coincided with the time when Jiang Weiguo's health was at its worst. He was anxious to find a successor to take over the Jiang family business. If he fell ill, the business he had painstakingly built for his wife for half his life would collapse!

Therefore, during that period, Jiang Weiguo turned his attention to Pei Zhan, who was quite capable at the Haishi branch.

Jiang Weiguo would not stop his daughter from liking the man she liked; on the contrary, he would help her get together with him. What's more, the man was the savior who rescued his daughter from human traffickers years ago.

Jiang Weiguo went to great lengths to cultivate Ji Liangchuan, sending him to the best elite schools and pouring all his resources into him, even grooming him as the heir of the Jiang family.

Ultimately, he still failed Jiang Weiguo's test, so he used some means to force him to go abroad, taking the opportunity to nip the relationship in the bud.

On the day Ji Liangchuan left the country, Jiang Hua was in a car accident on her way to the airport. It felt like God was punishing him, trying to take her only daughter away from him.

Jiang Hua suffered a heart injury and needed a new heart to sustain her life. During that time, Jiang Hua lay in bed for three months because a matching heart could not be found.

Later... until that day, finally, an opportunity arose...

There was a girl whose heart was a 90% match with Jiang Hua's, and she was the only one who could receive this heart transplant.

She was also in a serious car accident, and Jiang Weiguo didn't let go of this only chance...

What happened back then is a nightmare for him, and he doesn't want to talk about it again.

In the third year after Huahua's accident and recovery, Jiang Weiguo did try to contact Ji Liangchuan, but he had lost contact with him while he was abroad...

Before sending him abroad, Jiang Weiguo had already made all the necessary arrangements for him.

He didn't touch a single penny of the $80 million in money that was arranged for him abroad, the best universities, or even the $80 million in his account.

Even now, Jiang Weiguo still doesn't know Ji Liangchuan's whereabouts. The promise he made to Huahua was just to put her mind at ease!

Driving along, watching the traffic jam on the overpass, the man's eyes were heavy, and he seemed lost in thought.

Pei Zhan glanced at the rearview mirror and said to Jiang Weiguo, who was sitting in the back passenger seat, "The visa has been processed. Miss will receive it before tonight."
