No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.
Chapter 228 The Final Test
Xu Qiulan had just come down from her room upstairs when she saw the car parked at the door. Pei Zhan walked in from outside, carrying a gift he had brought back from Haishi for Jiang Hua. "Where's Huahua?"
"Mr. Pei, you shouldn't bother Miss. She's in a bad mood right now, and your presence will only make her angrier." Xu Qiulan disregarded Pei Zhan's status and spoke to him solely from Jiang Hua's perspective, feeling that it was unfair to Miss.
Kagel stepped forward and said, "How could you speak to the young master like that? I'm sorry, young master, it's my fault for not disciplining the servants properly. It's my dereliction of duty."
Pei Zhan didn't blame her, he just waved his hand, "Kagher, it's not your place to speak here." Even though Xu Ma was a maid at Yulong Bay, according to seniority she was an elder that he and Huahua respected. Huahua treated her as family, and Pei Zhan was no exception. Xu Qiulan was the highest-paid maid at Jinsha Shallow Bay.
Because here, only she understands all of Jiang Hua's living habits. Jiang Hua's body is fragile and special, and she needs someone who understands her habits to stay by her side and take care of her.
Xu Qiulan wasn't afraid of these people; she only knew that her duty was to take good care of the young lady.
"I've said everything I needed to say. Mr. Pei, I'll go and rest now. You should rest early too."
Pei Zhan nodded in response.
Only Kagel, standing to the side, frowned and said with great dissatisfaction, "Young Master, your status is extremely noble, you don't need to be beholden to anyone."
"Huahua doesn't like you, and she has her reasons. From now on, Kager is not allowed to step into the villa without my permission, let alone appear in front of the young mistress. Do you understand?"
"Yes, young master." Kagel was somewhat dissatisfied, but it was an order, and he had no choice but to obey.
Kagel couldn't understand what kind of charm this woman possessed, that the young master had to endure her humiliation and insults every day.
When the eldest daughter of the Jiang family first met Mr. Huo, the situation was quite similar. The two, mother and daughter, shared strikingly similar temperaments. However, for some reason, the young master was particularly drawn to this willful, capricious, and unpredictable young lady. He even began to show leniency towards the Jiang family because of her, which was ultimately not a good thing for him. This woman was not as capable as Miss Song; at least she understood social etiquette and wouldn't cause any trouble for the Huo family in the future. The Huo family wanted a sensible Mrs. Huo, not a rebellious mistress who rode on the young master's head.
When Pei Zhan came upstairs, Jiang Hua was in the room, sitting on the bed. The room was a mess; all the books that had been on the desk had been swept to the floor. Jiang Hua glanced at the black figure outside the door. She didn't know Pei Zhan would come back. The moment she saw him, her calm and beautiful face instantly showed her irritation and disgust.
"Who let you in, get out!"
Pei Zhan placed the gift he was holding on the table beside him, then silently picked up the book that had fallen to the ground. He smoothed out the crumpled paper with gentle movements, without damaging the paper. He set aside the other damaged books. After finishing everything, Pei Zhan stood up and sat down by her bedside. "Chairman Jiang told me about your situation."
Jiang Hua crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking to the side with a cold and disdainful expression, without saying a word.
“Huahua, you need to prioritize in everything you do. You need to think about what you want to do most right now, why you want to do it, and for whom you want to do it… The association you founded is a good thing, and I was surprised that you would have such an idea. No matter what we do, like Chairman Jiang, I will always put you first. With your grandfather’s support, it’s not impossible for you to reinstate this major at Imperial University.”
"As far as I know, your grandfather has been promoted to the Education Bureau. In fact, many things will break the original rules because of your idea. I believe you can persuade him."
"Shut up! What do you know! You're trying to lecture me right now. Don't get too carried away. You're starting to think you're part of the Jiang family. Get out of here and stop getting in my way."
Pei Zhan had no intention of keeping quiet about what had happened in the past. Some things, once they had occurred, needed time to resolve. He simply said, "The 'Blooming Flowers' are gone. I've sold them. All the money has been transferred to the card I gave you."
"It's so noisy, get out!"
“Huahua…”
"Get out!" Jiang Hua threw a pillow at him. Right now, she just wanted to be alone for a while, and she wouldn't listen to anyone else.
Just then, Jiang Hua's phone, which was on the bedside table, rang. Pei Zhan looked at it and saw that the caller ID showed Shen Yebai.
Seeing her like this, Pei Zhan was afraid of dragging her emotions down too much, so he gave in, got up and placed the gift he had brought next to her, and said, "Get some rest."
After Pei Zhan left, he went into the bedroom through the door outside the room, picked up the phone and called Jiang Weiguo to relay Jiang Hua's situation.
No one knew his daughter better than him. Jiang Weiguo told him, "If you talk to her like that, who else can Huahua take her anger out on if not you?"
"It's not uncommon for it to cause her annoyance. Huahua's mother's death was related to her maternal grandfather, although not directly. However, his indifference indirectly led to Huahua's mother's accident. Back then... when Huahua's mother was giving birth, her brother... wanted to use the company's shares to blackmail her into transferring them while Qingcheng was in labor. I was forced to separate from her back then. No one knows what happened in between. When I arrived at her side, Qingcheng had already taken her last breath, and next to her was Huahua, who had just been born."
“Before this year, Huahua never mentioned her mother in front of me, but I know that Huahua cares about her more than anyone else.”
“I mediated the conflicts between you and her in the past, but this time… if you really care, think carefully about what Huahua really wants and what you should do!”
Jiang Weiguo couldn't help him for the rest of his life to resolve the conflicts between him and his wife.
"Pei Zhan, consider this my final test for you."
"If you don't even know how to appease Huahua, it only shows that you don't have the proper marital feelings for Huahua, and you're just entangled in each other's interests. I never interfere in your relationship; you should handle it yourself."
Pei Zhan's thin lips curved into a smile. "Yes, I understand, Chairman Jiang."
Pei Zhan's biggest challenge in life is not how to revive a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, but how to appease his wife.
Pei Zhan dialed the number again and instructed the person on the other end, "Check Jiang Huai's information."
