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

"In front of the shareholders and Jiang's business partners, my father withstood pressure time and time again, always bearing the consequences for me..."

"It's all because of the pressure I put on myself."

"Because I am my father's only daughter, he pretends not to know anything and protects me time and time again."

"The reverse is also true... I don't want Dad to keep working so hard for the company."

Jiang Hua couldn't accept the pain of losing her only family member.

If she had a choice, Jiang Hua wouldn't want to do this either.

Even if Pei Zhan were to return, it would only mean sacrificing her marriage and her happiness.

At worst, I can just live like this for the rest of my life, at least while my father is still alive.

It was easy for Jiang Hua to find Pei Zhan; she simply went to the Blooming Flowers area to find Song Qingran, and she learned everything.

"If that's the case, why did you still choose to divorce him? Because... Ji Liangchuan?"

Shen Yebai didn't want to mention this name. From the moment Jiang Hua was abducted and brought back to the Jiang family, she was never highly regarded by Shen Yebai. Shen Yebai was indifferent to everyone.

Jiang Hua calmly revealed the truth, "Because... he cheated on me, and he's not clean anymore."

These words stirred an uneasy ripple in Shen Yebai's eyes.

"He...betrayed you?"

Jiang Hua: "Yes, it's betrayal."

"The reason I was attracted to him back then was not only because he saved my life in the snowy mountains during that skiing trip, but also because he... was very similar to Liangchuan. They had the same eating habits, both preferred to use their left hand, disliked spicy food, and liked to drink soup before eating."

Shen Yebai listened quietly to her speak…

As expected... no matter who appears by her side, none of them can replace Ji Liangchuan.

If Pei Zhan's return can lighten the burden on his father and allow him to rest properly.

There's nothing Jiang Hua can't compromise on...

When Jiang Hua arrived at the school, she learned that Song Qingran was not there.

She dialed the landline number on the phone, and a woman answered, "Hello, who is this?"

Jiang Hua: "I'm looking for Song Qingran."

The other person's voice immediately became wary, "Excuse me, you have the wrong person. We don't have anyone named Song Qingran here."

“I am Pei Zhan’s wife on the marriage certificate. If you don’t tell the truth, I don’t mind coming to find you in person.”

The other party clearly panicked immediately.

Mrs. Pei?

"This...this...we really don't know where Miss Song went."

“Ms. Song went out yesterday with her bag and we haven’t been able to contact her since. She said she went to see her husband.”

Jiang Hua hung up the phone with a cold look in her eyes. Song Qingran went to find Pei Zhan.

Recalling the first time she bumped into Song Qingran and Pei Zhan at the hotel restaurant, she witnessed their entanglement, a scene of forceful taking.

She kept saying she would never be with him, but if he tried to force her, she would just die.

Now... is this falling in love?

If Pei Zhan spent the half-month he disappeared in his previous life with Song Qingran, then his subsequent change in attitude would have been the reason for this.

Then everything makes sense.

This time, Song Qingran did indeed find Pei Zhan, and unsurprisingly... it should be said that Song Qingran confessed her feelings to Pei Zhan.

Pei Zhan also won Song Qingran's heart.

They eventually became a couple...

Everything makes sense now.

...

In Wuchuan County, the rain has been falling continuously, and the sky is overcast.

County hospital.

Pei Zhan: "How much longer until I wake up?"

Nurse: "This little girl is really lucky. She only has multiple soft tissue injuries and a sprained ligament in her leg. She's fine and will be better after a few days of rest in bed."

Meanwhile, Pei Zhan received a call from the police station.

"Mr. Pei, the perpetrator has been found. They are a motorcycle gang. Similar incidents have happened quite a few times. At first, they would hide from the surveillance cameras and try to find loopholes. Now that the surveillance cameras have been repaired, we have taken them into custody. As for the victim's belongings, apart from some missing cash, everything else, such as his ID card, is still there. You'd better come and take a look."

"I understand." Pei Zhan hung up the phone and turned around at the door when he heard the nurse's voice, "Young lady, you're awake?"

"Sir, your girlfriend is awake."

Song Qingran's consciousness was somewhat hazy. "Where am I?"

"Am I dead?"

Until her vision cleared and she saw the familiar figure outside the door, the dim light in Song Qingran's eyes brightened again. She struggled to sit up, "Mr. Pei?"

The nurse couldn't stop her in time, and suddenly Song Qingran got off the hospital bed and stumbled towards him.

Before she fell, Pei Zhan picked her up and placed her on the hospital bed.

Song Qingran stared greedily at the man in front of her, and only when she felt his warmth did she realize that all of this was real.

"Mr. Pei, I've finally found you."

Pei Zhan remained silent.

Only after the nurse re-inserted Song Qingran did she understand and leave, giving them space.

Pei Zhan: "You shouldn't have come over."

Song Qingran: "I'm very worried about you."

“I’ve tried calling you many times over the past two weeks, but you haven’t responded. I’m afraid something might have happened to you.”

"Mr. Pei, I'm relieved to see that you're alright."

Song Qingran's face was wrapped in gauze, and she looked quite disheveled.

Pei Zhan looked at Song Qingran with a somber gaze, his emotions unreadable.

Pei Zhan: "Does it hurt?"

Song Qingran looked at her with bright eyes, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all. Compared to the burns I got when I was a child, this is nothing."

Pei Zhan: "I'm sorry, I should have told you beforehand."

Song Qingran smiled and shook her head. "Mr. Pei, you don't need to blame yourself. I'm really fine, and it has nothing to do with you. I took it upon myself to come to you."

The light that shone in her eyes was clear, bright, and pure.

Ah Xu, she... is becoming more and more like you. Sometimes I wonder if you're staying by my side in another way.

Pei Zhan helped her get a leave of absence from school.

Song Qingran suffered a ligament sprain in her leg and had difficulty walking, so she had to stay in the hospital in Wuchuan to recover.

In a small room of a dilapidated building, Pei Zhan suddenly remembered that his phone had been broken not long ago. After being soaked, all the information, data, and contacts on the phone had been formatted.

Once his phone's communication function was restored, Pei Zhan dialed a number...

Imperial City.

When Zuo Xiangnan saw the long-unheard phone number ringing, he left his office and answered the call from a secluded spot, "President Pei!"

"How is Jiang Shi now...?"

Zuo Xiangnan, "As you wished, after you left, the companies that had previously cooperated with the Jiang family all requested to terminate their contracts with the Jiang family."

"Jiang Weiguo is now at a loss, unable to handle everything..."

"I think Miss has already regretted it. Soon, she will personally come to apologize to you and beg President Pei to come back."

...

On the third day, Song Qingran was able to get out of bed and walk a few steps with difficulty. She still had many abrasions on her body, and she needed to wait for the scabs to fall off on their own.

Outside the main gate of the county hospital, a car window was half-closed, and the people inside were looking at a loving and harmonious scene not far away…
