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

Jiang Hua pulled her shawl tighter, turned around angrily and went up the stairs. After taking a couple of steps, she felt uncomfortable again and stopped on the stairs. "I don't care if it exists in Yulong Bay, you have to find it by today, no matter what."

"If you still haven't gotten it by today, then get out of here!"

The servants below looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Xu Qiulan could understand. The young lady had lost her mother when she was young, and her only memories were those photos and things left behind by her mother. The lost items were all left behind by her mother before she died. How could the young lady not be angry when they were lost like that?

Xu Qiulan was the closest person to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family besides her husband, so she also bore some responsibility for the missing items.

Just then, a car pulled up outside. Jiang Weiguo got out, followed by Wang Qi. As they entered the foyer, Jiang Weiguo took off his leather gloves and frowned at the mess on the floor. "Huahua's back from the hospital?"

"Why is she angry again as soon as she gets back, Xu Ma... what's going on!"

Xu Ma said, "The young lady's study video materials are lost; she said it was on a USB drive."

Jiang Weiguo: "It's just study materials, it's okay if they're lost, why get so angry?"

Xu Ma continued hesitantly, "That thing was left by the madam, but it just disappeared without us knowing how. Everyone searched high and low but couldn't find it."

Jiang Weiguo frowned, his tone turning somber: "Where is Huahua now?"

"The young lady has gone back to her room."

Jiang Weiguo turned back and went upstairs. At the same time, Pei Zhan's phone rang. Seeing that the caller ID was a virtual number, he left and went to a secluded place to answer the call.

A broken, stiff Chinese voice rang out, "Young Master, Miss Jiang's things have been found."

"However, besides that, we also found something else in the surveillance footage... that you would like to take another look at."

Jiang Hua stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, fuming alone, as if everyone was against her and nothing she did went right.

Now all the things her mother left her are gone.

"Bring the USB drive over once you find it. We can talk about the rest later."

"Yes, young master."

Jiang Hua stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wondering what Pei Zhan had said to the person on the phone. She frowned in confusion. The next second, Pei Zhan, who was looking down, keenly caught the gaze that fell on him. He looked up and their eyes met. Pei Zhan looked at Jiang Hua, who was still angry, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Meeting his gaze only made Jiang Hua more annoyed. She turned around angrily and drew the curtains, feeling disgusted even by looking at him again.

Just then, Jiang Weiguo walked into the room. "If something is missing, just have someone look for it. Why get upset with yourself?"

"Let Dad see if the wound on your forehead is any better."

For the past three or four days, Jiang Hua has been using the best ointment that won't leave scars. Now, the scabs have formed and only a few small openings remain, which are still healing. It will take another two or three days for her to fully recover.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, but I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, Dad... please get me discharged. It's so boring to be alone in the ward all day, just sitting there without knowing what to do. It's much more comfortable to stay at home, and... all the smells in the hospital are awful."

Listening to Jiang Hua's complaints, Jiang Weiguo smiled and said, "I think you're still angry with Pei Zhan. I know everything about you."

Jiang Hua's heart skipped a beat. "What! What did he say to you?"

Jiang Weiguo: "Pei Zhan just forgot your wedding anniversary... It's also my fault. During that time, there were some accidents at the Haishi branch. Someone embezzled a lot of money and used it to bribe the higher-ups. This matter was a bit tricky. I knew to send Pei Zhan to check on it. If I had known that it was my precious daughter's wedding anniversary, I wouldn't have let Pei Zhan go."

Jiang Hua genuinely didn't know about this, and Pei Zhan didn't explain it to her either…

But between him and Pei Zhan, it was never about their wedding anniversary.

Even now, in front of his father, he only knows how to lie and refuses to be honest.

"Speaking of you, you sold that apartment in Huayuan right away. As far as I know, Pei Zhan had been saving up to buy that apartment since he was a low-level employee, to use for his wedding. Because of your sale, Pei Zhan has to live at the company now. If I hadn't gone to the company and seen the toiletries in the break room, I wouldn't have known why you two were arguing. Huahua... it's not easy for Pei Zhan to manage the company. His annual salary isn't even as expensive as one of your pieces of jewelry. Before you do anything, try to consider things from Pei Zhan's perspective and stop being so willful."

Huahua looked at Pei Zhan outside the door and felt a surge of anger inexplicably. But when she thought of Jinsha Shallow Bay, a manor villa that was dozens of times larger than Yulong Bay, her anger subsided by half.

"He can't even earn money himself, yet he expects me to understand him? Dad... that's not how it works. He should be the one understanding me. If he can't afford any of the bags and jewelry I like, am I supposed to suffer living with him and just watch?"

"If my mother were here, seeing that I married this kind of person, I'm afraid none of us would be able to sleep well."

Jiang Weiguo suddenly said, "I gave Pei Zhan three percent of the shares, and I gave him one-third of my own shares. This way, he will also receive a share of the Jiang family's year-end dividends."

"Dad!" Jiang Hua cried out, she was going crazy, "You're giving him shares again? Are you insane?!"

"What agreement did you sign with him this time?"

"Why give me shares? There are so many other options!"

Based on the Jiang family's development, Pei Zhan could earn at least 100 million yuan a year from this 3% stake.

Giving so much money to this country bumpkin.

Jiang Hua's New Year's money doesn't even add up to 100 million, so why does he deserve it!

She was so angry that her hands were shaking.

Jiang Weiguo left with a final sentence, then turned and left Jiang Hua's room.

Seeing the man outside the door, Jiang Hua angrily strode towards him, grabbed Pei Zhan's collar, and forcefully slammed him against the door. "What exactly did you say to my dad this time?"

"Why should your father give you these things!"

Pei Zhan raised his hands and confessed, word by word, "This deal is stipulated in the agreement. As long as we get divorced, I can't take the Jiang family's shares with me."

The next second, Pei Zhan suddenly took the initiative, using one hand to restrain Jiang Hua's slender waist and pinning her against the wall. He lowered his posture and said, "Hua Hua... I will not take any money from the Jiang family."

The man's deep voice was seductive, and his eyes were so familiar, with a fatal attraction, but... something was missing from his eyes. No matter how similar they were, they weren't him.

It almost made her addicted; she shattered the fantasy she shouldn't have had.

"Is it that they won't take it with them, or are they thinking about something else...?"

"Human greed is insatiable. Besides supporting Song Qingran, you also have to take care of her mother who suffers from uremia. It must cost a lot of money for them every year. For a country bumpkin like you who has never seen money, five million is not enough. So... now you can only use my name to complain to Dad, so that you can get Jiang's shares from him without any money. You really have a good way of doing things."

“Pei Zhan… acquiring Jiang’s shares is your first step.”

"Is the next step... to have the Jiang family change their surname to Pei? Hmm?"

Jiang Hua's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth, chilling to the bone...
