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

"Dad, what's wrong?" Jiang Hua hurriedly got off the chair, found the heart medicine on his body, and Jiang Weiguo felt a little better after swallowing it.

"You know who he is, and you still dare to offend him? Do you know that the Huo Group invested 1 billion yuan in the Jiang family without giving up any shares? Before he comes knocking on your door, while there's still time, you should hurry up and apologize to him and beg for his forgiveness." Jiang Weiguo thought she had become more obedient and mature, but he didn't expect her to still be so ignorant.

It's one thing for her to be a little willful normally, but whenever Jiang Hua offends someone, Jiang Weiguo personally steps in, and the other party lets the matter pass because of his influence.

This isn't just anyone you've offended; it's the heir to the Huo family…

She is incredibly audacious.

"Dad, the banquet is already over. Where are we going to find someone now?"

"Oh dear, let me finish." Jiang Hua pressed Jiang Weiguo's shoulder to make him sit down. "Dad, he didn't even see who I was. I don't know what happened in the bathroom, the power suddenly went out. When I hit him, he didn't see me at all, and there was no one around."

Seeing that her father's serious and angry expression had subsided considerably.

"You can still laugh? If the Huo family really pursues this, do you think you can escape? Even if you drag the Jiang family into it, they might not even look at you. Usually when you bully others, your father can swallow his pride and apologize to them, but now you've offended the Huo family..." Jiang Weiguo felt his temples throbbing, and finally he could only say helplessly, "I still need to discuss how to resolve this matter with Pei Zhan. Now you should go back and reflect on your actions."

Jiang Hua pressed down on her lips, "What business is it of yours to discuss our family matters with an outsider?"

“I already said that the power was out at the time, so he couldn’t see what I looked like.”

"What if... I mistook someone for someone else, and the person I hit wasn't the Huo family heir at all?"

Jiang Weiguo said, "Let's wait and see. Let's listen to what's going on for a while. If no one investigates, then it means everything is fine."

"You get back to your room right now."

"If you ever dare to lay a hand on someone again without distinguishing right from wrong, you'll see how I teach you a lesson."

Jiang Hua became a little more obedient, but only a little, not much. "Oh, I understand, Dad."

As he turned to leave, his gaze swept over the company documents that Jiang Weiguo had just reviewed.

Jiang Weiguo was still worried, so he made a random phone call...

Back in her room, she removed her makeup, took a shower, and came out wrapped in a white towel. Her slender, toned legs were on a chair as she applied body lotion, muttering to herself, "Dad is really something, always scaring himself. What if he's not? Well, that's his bad luck, what does it have to do with me?"

I dried my hair, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep instantly.

In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Hua was awakened by a dream.

In her dream, she found herself locked in a golden cage in the small, dark room she remembered from years ago. A dark door led to a faint glimmer of light shining through a crack in the floorboards.

No matter how she called out, no one responded.

"Ji Liangchuan!"

Jiang Hua sat up abruptly, overwhelmed by intense emotions. A sharp pain shot through her chest. She turned on the lamp by the bedside table, took out the bottle of medicine from the drawer, swallowed two white pills, and lay back down in bed. After calming down, the pain lessened considerably.

It's been a long time...

Jiang Hua hadn't dreamed about it for a long time since it happened when she was a child.

Looking at the white ceiling above me, I vaguely closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, half-awake and half-asleep.

As expected, Jiang Hua was completely sleepless.

When Jiang Hua woke up the next morning, her hair was neatly styled and smooth. She was wearing slippers, and her footsteps as she went downstairs were heavy and hesitant.

Two or three minutes later, Jiang Hua came downstairs with a look of utter despair.

"Young Miss, what's wrong?"

The first person to notice that Jiang Hua was not in a good mood was Xu Qiulan. Xu Qiulan came out with the breakfast she had prepared, and Jiang Hua happened to walk out at the same time. Without looking at the three pairs of eyes that were on her at the same time, she went straight to the sofa, hugged a cushion and lay down, saying, "My head hurts."

She then added quietly, "Dizziness, weakness all over my body."

"Are you sick?" Jiang Weiguo quickly stood up and walked to the sofa to touch Jiang Hua's forehead, but couldn't feel anything. "Aunt Xu, go and get the thermometer."

Jiang Hua: "No need, just ask for half a day off for me this morning."

"I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well."

Seeing her weak appearance, Jiang Weiguo assumed something had happened to her.

Pei Zhan, on the other side, calmly withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.

Jiang Weiguo sat down next to Jiang Hua. "Was it what Dad said last night that scared you?"

"Dad called Pei Zhan over to discuss what happened last night. It's not a big problem; Dad can handle it." Overnight, Jiang Weiguo's hair turned quite a bit whiter because of this.

Jiang Hua looked up and saw that the filthy thing was indeed there. Her already unpleasant mood became even uglier.

"I dreamt last night that it was raining heavily and a crazy woman broke into our house with a knife and stabbed me several times. It scared me to death."

It seems the Jiang family hasn't gotten over what happened last time. Apart from being abducted, nothing else major happened to Jiang Hua when she was young. However, this incident did leave a lot of trauma for her.

"Just stay home and rest today. Dad will ask for a day off for you."

"No, I made plans to see a stage play with Brother Ye Bai today."

"Ye Bai's father told him to rest at home today."

"Alright then." Jiang Hua got up from the sofa listlessly, without even glancing at Pei Zhan, and went back to her room upstairs.

Xu Qiulan could only deliver breakfast to Jiang Hua's room.

Jiang Weiguo turned around and sat down at the chess table opposite Pei Zhan. "I'm sorry to have troubled you. You came all this way even though you're not fully recovered. What do you think about this?"

Pei Zhan put down his teacup. "There was a power outage at the time, so we couldn't see each other's faces clearly. What if the other person is just a foreign guest and not the heir of the Huo family? It would be better to wait a few more days and observe the situation."

Jiang Weiguo nodded, "That's what I think too. In the end, Huahua was a bit impulsive, probably because of what happened last time."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a black Maybach suddenly drove up from the Jiang family's gate and stopped. Several other vehicles followed behind it. Then, a blond, blue-eyed foreign man in a black suit got out of the driver's seat. He was wearing white gloves and was probably a driver.

Jiang Weiguo walked out with a sense of unease, and a bad feeling crept over him...
