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

The morning classes passed quickly.

Little did they know that in just two or three hours, the forums within Imperial University were all stunned by a photo of a stunningly beautiful woman.

The woman in the photo has long, flowing, jet-black hair. She's diligently taking notes, a pen in her hand. The light from the window shines on her, making her delicate skin shimmer, as if she's draped in a light-colored veil. The camera resolution of this day's mobile phones is somewhat blurry, but the more you look at it, the more it possesses a hazy, ethereal beauty. Moreover, the woman in the photo is so stunningly beautiful that it creates a powerful visual impact.

However, this simple photo garnered thousands of comments and nearly 100,000 likes on the forum in just three hours.

In no time, it became the most popular post on the entire school forum.

Comment: With so many people, they're no less impressive than Professor Wen from our college.

However, at that moment, someone posted another comment that was taken away.

Don't just look at my goddess!

There's also this year's campus beauty pageant, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?

Holy crap, do we even need to choose a school beauty? Of course, she's my goddess!

Nearly dozens of photos from the school beauty pageant were all suppressed.

Jiang Hua was unaware that she had already topped the list of school beauties.

The morning passed quickly.

As soon as the last class ended, Jiang Hua was packing her things to leave when Song Qingran went to find her.

Fifteen minutes earlier, Jiang Hua had already seen Song Qingran loitering at the classroom door, holding a bottle of milk in her hand and carrying a bag on her shoulder.

Song Qingran seemed to have mustered up a great deal of courage and walked up to Jiang Hua. "Senior Jiang, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone. Can you come with me for a moment?"

Jiang Hua refused without hesitation, saying, "Sorry, I'm busy right now."

Song Qingran didn't give up and jogged after her. As she walked out of the teaching building, she said, "Senior Jiang... I... actually... I saw you coming out of the hotel today, and there was a man with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua immediately stopped in her tracks, her clear, moon-like eyes fixed on her. "So? What are you trying to say?"

As Song Qingran spoke, she took out a bank card from her bag. "Senior Jiang, that man is not good enough for you. You are so beautiful, I hope... you won't continue to be so degenerate. As long as you study hard, you will eventually get those luxury goods through your own efforts, without relying on others."

"This is five thousand yuan that I saved up. I hope this money can help you temporarily."

"Here, this is the milk I just bought, it's still warm, I'm giving it to you."

"In exchange for what happened last time, will you keep it a secret for me?"

That innocent and naive face, with its wide-open eyes, was so pitiful to behold.

Jiang Hua could tolerate others showing her such expressions, but Song Qingran couldn't. When she saw her, she felt that Song Qingran's heart was full of hypocrisy.

Jiang Hua didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. "Just because you saw me come out of the hotel, you thought I slept with a man. Song Qingran... should I say you're naive or ignorant? Is the man who's keeping you attracted to your stupid and harmless appearance?"

"I'm reminding you one last time! Don't show your face in front of me again. My temper isn't as good as you think."

"You should keep this money for yourself."

Jiang Hua slapped away the bank card that Song Qingran had used to humiliate her.

Song Qingran stared blankly at the bank card lying on the ground. A string in her heart snapped instantly. She squatted down, tears streaming down her face, and picked up the bank card.

A single tear fell to the ground, splashing up a teardrop, and she spoke in a trembling voice, "This money is completely clean; I saved it myself."

On the balcony on the second floor of the study building, Jiang Hua watched Song Qingran walk away, her hands, which were in her pockets, clenched together.

Was what she just said a bit too much?

Jiang Hua held her forehead, not understanding what the person behind her was saying. When she came to her senses, she heard Zuo Xiangnan say, "...Miss Jiang, you shouldn't have done this. Miss Song came from a poor family and suffered too much from childhood; she has severe depression. She attempted suicide several times before, and if she hadn't been rescued in time, she probably would be..."

Jiang Hua remained indifferent until Song Qingran disappeared. Only then did she turn around, arms crossed, and speak coldly to the voice in front of her, "Is that so? In that case, shouldn't Song Qingran offer herself to Pei Zhan? Hmm?"

Zuo Xiangnan nodded. "Miss, you flatter me. President Pei was just helping out."

Jiang Hua could never stand other people's hypocrisy, just like Pei Zhan. "Zuo Xiangnan, I know you are Pei Zhan's most loyal assistant. But don't forget, in the end, you are also an employee working for the Jiang family. It's none of your business to lecture me! I know who Song Qingran is."

Zuo Xiangnan: "I was just giving Miss a friendly reminder. If it were President Pei who we saw today, he wouldn't let this go so easily."

Jiang Hua smiled, but her heart still felt like it had been slashed by a sharp blade, leaving a bloody wound. "Is that so? Then go back and tell Pei Zhan how I bullied his little darling today."

"Or are you trying to say that Song Qingran is special to Pei Zhan, and that without the forced marriage back then, Pei Zhan would have married Song Qingran, whom he sponsored, and that I was the third party who broke them up?"

Zuo Xiangnan: "Miss, you have misunderstood me."

Zuo Xiangnan knew she was unreasonable, but she never expected her to be this unreasonable. No wonder President Pei preferred to stay at the Blooming Flowers Hotel.

"Actually, President Pei is still very concerned about your recent situation. He knows that you have some lingering resentment because of Miss Song. Song Qingran has absolutely no relationship with President Pei. She is completely innocent. Her relationship with President Pei is just a simple sponsorship."

Jiang Hua said, "Alright, I'm not interested in our lovey-dovey moments. I don't care how many women Pei Zhan has, it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Hua didn't want to waste any more time with him, so as she turned to leave, Zuo Xiangnan reached out and stopped her.

Zuo Xiangnan explained, "This was made by President Pei himself. He asked me to deliver it to you specially. These are all dishes that Miss Pei likes to eat."

When Jiang Hua took it, she didn't even glance at it. Instead, she poured all the food from the insulated container onto the ground and slowly uttered three words to him, "I find it dirty!" Every word was filled with hatred.

Zuo Xiangnan's eyes darkened, and then he heard steady, powerful footsteps behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Pei Zhan walking upstairs step by step.

Zuo Xiangnan: "President Pei."
