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

After applying the medicine, Pei Zhan put on his hospital gown, his long, slender fingers buttoning up the buttons one by one. "I'm already married."

Zuo Xiangnan took Song Qingran, who had finished her examination, to Pei Zhan's ward. She followed behind Zuo Xiangnan and overheard his reply from outside the ward door.

The nurse quickly apologized, picked up the things, and ran out of the ward.

When the nurse came out, Song Qingran still didn't have the courage to take a step into the ward. She gripped the strap of her backpack on her shoulder, a heavy feeling rising in her chest that she couldn't shake off.

The moment Song Qingran heard him say those words, she knew perfectly well that their relationship could not continue like this.

"Mr. Zuo, I'd better head back now. I just remembered I still have some coursework to finish."

Zuo Xiangnan: "Miss Song, won't you spend some time alone with President Pei?"

Song Qingran shook her head. "No, he's already had enough to worry about today. I think it's better for me to leave. You don't need to see me off; I'll take a taxi home myself."

Zuo Xiangnan nodded, "Alright, Miss Song, please be careful."

Song Qingran turned and left without looking back.

Zuo Xiangnan entered the ward and reported, "President Pei, Miss Song's test results will be available in at least half an hour, but there shouldn't be any major problems."

Pei Zhan finished dressing and stood up. "Besides that, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Zuo Xiangnan thought for a few seconds, "I don't know which aspect Mr. Pei is referring to? As for the company, I have already forwarded the reports from each department to your email."

Aside from work-related matters, Zuo Xiangnan couldn't think of anything else to do each day.

"It's alright, you can go back now." Pei Zhan waved his hand.

Zuo Xiangnan nodded and left.

However, after the meeting, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit walked in, appearing and disappearing without making a sound. Pei Zhan stood in front of the French windows, watching the night gradually fall, and it was pitch black outside.

"Young Master is injured and should not smoke."

Pei Zhan skillfully tapped the ash off his cigarette. "What's up?" On the table next to the man, there was an unopened document containing Song Qingran's medical examination report.

"Young Master, are you waiting for Miss Jiang Hua?"

“I think Miss Jiang Hua has completely given up on the eldest young master and won’t come over. When Miss Jiang Hua was in the car accident, the eldest young master only saw her once and didn’t show his face for three months afterward. Now… she feels the same way about you.”

"Young Master, there's no point in continuing to wait like this. You might as well do something more meaningful."

Pei Zhan stubbed out his cigarette and turned to the person in front of him. "Oh? What do you think is meaningful?"

"Then you should ask the young master himself. Does he still really want to avenge Miss Zhou Xu?"

“Miss Jiang is a smart woman. She knows that the Jiang family will be swallowed up sooner or later. When she decided to give up going to France, she had already thought that the Shen family could become her support. In other words, after Mr. Jiang Weiguo passes away, I think the first thing Miss Jiang will do is divorce you and remarry.”

Pei Zhan could easily have imagined what he was saying. He had deduced all the possible outcomes hundreds of times, and no matter how he deduced them, the final result was always the same.

But... there was another outcome that Pei Zhan had never anticipated...

It's not that he didn't want to, but things have developed to this point, and everything was caused by his own hands; it's simply too late to undo what's done.

"Actually, everything depends on your decision. Young Master, why don't you ask yourself, can you really bring yourself to harm the Jiang family?"

The reason for having reservations is simply because there are still lingering feelings.

Father, like son.

No matter how much others say, they cannot help a person who has trapped themselves out of their own cage. If they are willing, they can walk out of their cage on their own.

"You were willing to injure yourself to protect Mr. Jiang Weiguo simply because you were afraid that Miss Jiang would not be able to bear the pain of losing her father, which would trigger a heart attack and cause her to die from excessive grief. Not to mention now, even though the young master knows that the little girl he saved back then was Miss Jiang, he is still able to harm her."

Pei Zhan pursed his lips and let out a disdainful laugh, "You know better than I do."

The middle-aged man bowed his head respectfully. "Your father is my master. I stay by your side to help the young master out of his predicament."

Pei Zhan knew better than anyone else that the car accident had almost cost Jiang Hua her life, and he could have simply ignored it.

But he still couldn't bring himself to let Jiang Hua die, so... Pei Zhan, out of compassion, injected Jiang Hua with a cardiac stimulant, saving her life.

But... she absolutely could not accept the second, enormous shock.

Once the heart stops beating, it cannot be reversed. No matter how skilled a doctor is, they cannot bring a patient whose heart has stopped back to life.

"Now the young master only has two choices. First, he can harden his heart and with just one word from the young master, the Jiang family will completely disappear from the capital city within half a month. There will be no need to worry about the Shen family. With Jiang Weiguo gone, Miss Jiang will naturally not be able to withstand the blow. Before long, her life will also end. It will be done without lifting a finger."

"Second, let Jiang Weiguo die quietly in an accident, so that Miss Jiang can accept it herself. At the same time, no one will suspect the eldest young master. Let Miss Jiang's emotions be stabilized for the time being. I believe that... given time, Miss Jiang will naturally get over the pain of losing her father."

"The relationship between the young master and Miss Jiang will not deteriorate further."

"At least... she doesn't hate you!"

"No matter which method is used, the only thing the young master is clear about is that his divorce from Miss Jiang is inevitable, and there is no need to waste so much time in the Jiang family."

"Once the eldest young master leaves the Jiang family and returns to France, he will face a new life. Your future wife will be the most noble and incomparable heiress in the world."

"At least, they won't be like Miss Jiang, who showed you absolutely no respect."

The ball started an hour and a half ago.

At the banquet, Jiang Hua sneezed, and her right eyelid twitched at an inopportune moment.

Someone's talking behind her back again!

angry!

"Are you feeling a bit cold? Would you like to go and rest for a while?"

Beautiful piano music filled her ears, performed by an internationally renowned piano master. Everyone present was invited by invitation, and they were all unfamiliar faces; Jiang Hua didn't recognize any of them.

Even this First Lady, Jiang Hua, is only meeting her twice today. The first time they met was when they were children, but it has been so long that she has almost forgotten.

When the music stopped, a middle-aged woman, dressed in red and gold with white gloves and exuding elegance, walked onto the stage.

Jiang Hua withdrew her hand from Shen Yebai's shoulder and also withdrew her hand from the woman's waist. Immediately afterward, a white suit jacket was draped over Jiang Hua's shoulders. Jiang Hua smiled faintly and put it on. In this not-so-relaxed occasion, Jiang Hua put away her playful nature and stood obediently beside Shen Yebai.

"I apologize, everyone. I have to attend to a very important guest, the heir to the Huo family. He has a special status and prefers not to appear in public. I have no choice but to meet him in person. I hope you all have a good time. As an apology, I have a small gift for everyone later..."

A single sentence instantly stirred up a huge wave of controversy…

After all, once the Huo family left the capital city, all information and records about them vanished overnight. No one had ever actually seen a member of the Huo family in Beijing's social circles...
