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

Song Qingran mustered her courage and knocked on the door, but after a moment, a voice came from inside, "Who is it!"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. She looked Song Qingran up and down and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The other person's tone wasn't very friendly, but Song Qingran kept glancing into the room. "I'd like to ask if you know this person?"

Song Qingran showed her the photos.

"What the hell is this? I don't know it, get lost."

"Please take another look; this person is very important to me."

Without giving Song Qingran another chance to say a word, she was locked out. Her low spirits were hard to hide, but she didn't give up. She started knocking on doors to ask about Pei Zhan's whereabouts.

But the result was always the same: they all said they didn't know them.

The address that Ayao gave her should be correct.

As the night gradually darkened, Song Qingran walked dejectedly along the roadside. Suddenly, a taxi came along, splashing water all over her as it drove over a puddle.

The other driver drove off.

Song Qingran glanced at the dwindling battery power and decided to find a hotel nearby to stay in.

As Song Qingran was crossing the street, a motorcycle sped towards her, and the person on the back reached out and pulled the backpack off her shoulders…

The next moment, Song Qingran felt the world spin around her, her body flew up and then fell heavily back down. She barely had time to react before she lay on the ground in the rain, her vision blurred as she watched them leave.

She tried to scream for help, but something seemed to block half of her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

In just a few seconds, Song Qingran lost consciousness.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Hua woke up from the stress of the nightmare. She reached for the medicine on the bedside table, but her hand trembled and she broke a glass before she even touched the drawer.

A crisp sound rang out as it landed on the marble floor and shattered into pieces.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Qiulan rushed over and saw Jiang Hua clutching her heart in pain. Xu Qiulan quickly grabbed some medicine, saying, "Miss, take it easy..."

Jiang Hua swallowed the medicine, and Xu Qiulan quickly poured her a glass of water. Only after she had swallowed it completely did Jiang Hua feel much better.

I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already eleven o'clock.

"Hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

Xu Qiulan hesitated for a moment, but finally comforted her, saying, "Assistant Zuo, I just got a call. They said they've brought Mr. Zuo back, and he's on his way now."

Jiang Hua closed her eyes, the bitterness in her heart growing stronger, and she knew that Xu Ma was just trying to comfort her.

Pei Zhan alone is enough to throw the entire Jiang family into chaos...

Pei Zhan, if you leave, it's best if you never appear again in this lifetime.

A few minutes later, the roar of a car engine could be heard outside the villa downstairs.

Xu Qiulan: "Miss, the master has returned."

"I'm fine. You go and take care of Dad. If he asks me later, just say I've already gone to sleep."

"Good lady."

Xu Qiulan left a bedside lamp on, closed the door, and then left the room.

Jiang Hua's strong reaction upon waking from her dream is why she reacted so strongly.

Because of…

She dreamt of her past life.

Pei Zhan did indeed leave for a period of time, about half a month.

In that two weeks, Pei Zhan's attitude towards her completely changed.

In the past, Jiang Hua would cling to him all the time, and he never found it annoying. But after he went to a city and came back, Jiang Hua would not see him for several days at a time. During that period, Jiang Hua would overthink every day at home, wondering if he had another woman outside.

But... all of this was before she could even find the answers.

Jiang Hua suffered from heart failure and went abroad to recuperate for a long time...

Two years after she returned from abroad, Jiang Hua also learned that Pei Zhan had never come back even once.

She didn't even see Pei Zhan when she was abroad.

They never even exchanged a simple phone call.

Every day when I wake up, all I see is a cold doctor, and I take bitter medicine. Day after day, I live the same life.

The two weeks she disappeared in her previous life coincided perfectly with her present life after her rebirth. Jiang Hua vaguely remembered the day Pei Zhan left in her previous life, a timeline that completely overlapped with her current one.

The same thing didn't happen, but the same result was achieved.

Jiang Hua was scared…

I'm afraid of being alone in my room in my past life, feeling empty and lonely.

I'm afraid... that I'll repeat the same mistakes in this life.

She dared not experience that again.

A slight noise came from outside the door.

"Huahua, are you asleep?"

Xu Qiulan: "Yes, Miss just fell asleep."

Jiang Weiguo asked with concern, "Has the medicine been applied?"

Xu Qiulan: "It's already been done."

After the last sentence was uttered, there was silence outside.

The better her father treated her, the heavier Jiang Hua's sense of guilt became.

Jiang Hua felt that she was responsible for the current state of the Jiang family.

The next morning, Jiang Hua went downstairs for breakfast.

"Where's Dad? Doesn't he have to go to work today?"

Xu Qiulan said, "Sir... he was still sleeping in his room when I went upstairs, so I didn't disturb him."

“Last night, the master instructed that the young lady should stay home to recover from her injuries before returning to school. He will personally ask the school for leave for you.”

Jiang Hua shook her head, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." She wore a black lace glove on her injured hand, and the bandaged wound was exposed, which didn't look very nice.

After eating only a few bites, a familiar vehicle drove up outside.

"Young Master Shen has arrived."

Jiang Hua saw it too. She finished her milk, picked up her bag, and stood up.

Xie Huai got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear passenger door for Jiang Hua.

As soon as they got in the car, Shen Yebai's first words put Jiang Hua at ease: "He has already reported to the company. This time, Uncle Jiang can rest for a while longer."

"Hmm." Even so, Jiang Hua's face still didn't show much emotion. She was somewhat absent-minded, still unable to recover from last night's emotions.

She didn't know where Pei Zhan had gone or what he had done during the time he was missing.

When he came back, his attitude towards her completely changed.

"Can you find out where Pei Zhan is located?"

Shen Yebai: "You still want to go find him?"

Jiang Hua told him everything that was on her mind. The fact that Jiang Hua was willing to open up about her feelings showed that she trusted Shen Yebai.

"No matter how many people you find to replace him, they can't replace Pei Zhan's importance in Dad's heart."

“After that car accident, Dad completely trusted Pei Zhan. When he suddenly disappeared and resigned, Dad knew perfectly well that I was the one who forced Pei Zhan to leave.”
