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

"Seeing that I'm injured, Miss seems to be in a good mood," Pei Zhan said, looking at Jiang Hua.

The man's face was pale and haggard. It was summer, and Pei Zhan was shirtless. His shoulders and upper left chest were bandaged, and bloodstains seeped through the gauze. Even so, it was hard to hide the eight-pack abs that Pei Zhan showed. His body was strong and powerful, and he had a unique masculine hormonal aura.

His deep eyes possessed a penetrating and intimidating power, as if he could see right through Jiang Hua in front of him.

“I’m a little happy, but mostly I’m annoyed. You’re also in this hospital, and Dad keeps bringing up your condition. I didn’t want to come, but he insisted. You know I hate spoiling other people’s fun. You and Song Qingran are just fine together, and it’s never right for an outsider to interfere.” Jiang Hua pretended to think, then suddenly exclaimed, “How about this, you transfer to another hospital? You’re out of danger now anyway. You don’t want Dad to come downstairs and see you and Song Qingran, and then get angry and dismiss you from your position, do you?”

"In that case, you will be of no use to our family."

"If I were to find another husband, it seems like it wouldn't be easy to find one anytime soon, don't you think... Mr. Pei?"

"I'm not dead yet, Jiang Hua! Are you so eager to remarry?" Pei Zhan frowned, his voice turning cold. It was unclear whether Jiang Hua's words had provoked him, but he coughed, looking somewhat pained, probably because he had aggravated his wound.

Jiang Hua looked at him expressionlessly: "Isn't this what you wanted?"

"You like having an affair with Song Qingran, and I just want to grant you that wish."

"As long as I'm alive, your Song Qingran will always be the other woman. If she finds out and tries to kill herself, don't blame me!"

"But judging from your appearance, it doesn't seem like anything's wrong. I'll take the soup with me. If you want some, let your Song Qingran make it herself." Jiang Hua picked up the thermos she had just taken from the bedside table, turned around, and left the room.

When she reached the doorway, Jiang Hua stopped. "I'm very busy, so please don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary. I won't bother you either."

After uttering these last words, Jiang Hua took a step and quickly left.

Upon seeing Jiang Hua emerge, Zuo Xiangnan hurried into the ward. "President Pei, your wound..."

Pei Zhan stopped coughing, but his chest was still heaving violently. Watching her departing figure, he felt a sharp pain in his wound from anger.

She was his wife, and he was injured while saving her father. This is how she repays him?

Did you personally push him to another woman?

It's alright!

"President Pei, your wound has reopened!"

"I'll go get the doctor right away."

Pei Zhan looked down at the gauze that was quickly stained red with blood. A moment later, the doctor rushed over and re-treated Pei Zhan's wound.

Jiang Hua took the pork bone soup to the toilet.

When we got to the ward on the upstairs floor, Jiang Hua was looking at a financial magazine, killing time out of boredom. "You're back so soon?"

"I can manage with Aunt Xu here. Pei Zhan is badly injured, so you should take good care of him."

Jiang Hua sat on the stool by the bed, unmoved. "He's perfectly fine. He won't die anytime soon."

“Huahua…Daddy told you that if it weren’t for Pei Zhan, Daddy might have died in that car accident. No matter what conflicts you had before, can’t you make up with Pei Zhan for Daddy’s sake?”

“Dad remembers that you used to like him a lot, you were always clinging to him, as if you wanted to be attached to him.”

As Jiang Hua was peeling the apple, her father's words almost made her drop it and hurt herself...

Ultimately, her father still wanted to match her up with Pei Zhan…

He didn't know, but Jiang Hua knew that she and Pei Zhan, whether in this life or the next... could never be together.

On the day she was preparing to fly to France, Jiang Hua had already written very clearly in her letter the reason why she and Pei Zhan had to divorce. She was afraid that her father would not be able to accept it, so she did not choose to say it to his face.

Now that this has happened again, there's absolutely no way Jiang Hua will leave again...

After leaving her father's side, apart from this incident, Jiang Hua finally understood that no matter how important Ji Liangchuan was, he couldn't compare to her only relative in this world.

She couldn't accept the pain of losing her father either...

"In the end, you still want me to be with Pei Zhan. Before... what you said about letting me go to see Ji Liangchuan whenever I wanted was just empty talk."

Jiang Hua didn't know how to peel an apple, and by the time she finished, there wasn't much apple left.

Hearing his daughter's downcast voice, Jiang Weiguo's tone became heavy. "Huahua... Dad's request is actually very simple. I just want someone you can rely on when Dad is gone. Dad signed an agreement with Pei Zhan that as long as he doesn't divorce you, Jiang's will still be his."

"Wh...what?" The apple in Jiang Hua's hand rolled to the ground.

Jiang Weiguo told her in detail: "Back then, I and your other uncles were all vying for the shares left by your mother. Before he passed away, your maternal grandfather said that whoever could bring the Jiang family back to life would be in charge of the Jiang family from then on."

"Fortunately, Pei Zhan was there to help Dad. It was he who helped Dad regain control and save your mother's company."

“You know that your father has a heart problem and won’t live much longer. If your father dies, the Jiang family business that your mother worked so hard to build will fall into the hands of your other uncles.”

"People's hearts are no longer what they used to be, and human nature cannot withstand the test. When faced with a huge amount of money, even the closest relatives will not show any mercy. They will betray each other, stab each other in the back, and blood will flow everywhere."

"Nothing can withstand the test of money."

"If... Dad is gone, Dad can't imagine what your future will be like. The special medicine to treat your heart disease costs 800,000 a bottle, and the most expensive bag you like costs three to five million... If one day after Dad dies, he sees you living in pain from heaven, Dad will not rest in peace."

"Some people are born with the responsibility of their family on their shoulders, whether it's you or Ye Bai... You both carry the expectations your families have for you. Being born into a noble family means you can't live the life of an ordinary person as you please. You're still young, so it's okay if you don't understand."

"...You need to know that there's a reason why Dad wants you to be with Pei Zhan."

"The reason your father did this was all for your sake, because... your father wanted to pave the way for you so that you would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"Your aunt had a congenital heart condition; she didn't make it..."

"But Dad hopes that you... can be that special case."

"May you live to be a hundred!"
