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

Chapter 300 The young lady is always lost in thought; is she thinking about Young Master Pei?

Wang Zhu stepped forward, still wearing the uniform of the prestigious high school: a black miniskirt, leather shoes, and long socks. Her slender, toned legs were tied in a ponytail, and she stood tall and graceful, exuding the air of a spoiled and difficult young lady from a wealthy family.

Wang Zhu: "I thought it was someone shouting here, but it turns out to be my family's former lackey, Mu Shishi. Your Mu family... I see that your ability to change sides with the wind has not changed at all. Seeing that our Wang family is no longer doing well, you immediately switched your allegiance to the Shen family. I think you have forgotten how you used to fawn over me like a dog."

Mu Shishi looked at Wang Zhu and gritted her teeth in anger. She remembered how Mu Shishi had tried to please the Wang family back then. Wang Zhu was Chairman Jiang Huai's most beloved granddaughter. How could Mu Shishi be so humble as to act like a dog in front of her?

"Is the Mu family... that remarkable?"

Seeing that Wang Zhu, who was barely an adult, was humiliating her in front of so many people, Mu Shishi was furious. Her pride immediately retorted, "What's so arrogant about you? The Wang family is no longer doing well. In the future... don't come begging to us."

"You're hilarious! How could your Mu family have produced such an idiot like you? No wonder... in this Beijing circle, the Mu family only knows your sister, Mu Shiyue. Mu Shishi, the Wang family won't do. It's not like the entire Wang family is dead. We've already done enough to deal with the rest of your Wang family!"

The Wang family's power has only been weakened. After all, it is a century-old family. Even if the towering tree has fallen, the family members are still scattered throughout this earthen city of the capital. However, his father's lineage has completely lost the hope of supporting the family. But the Wang family has other branches, all of which are eyeing the position of the head of the Wang family.

"Even if the Wang family is no longer what it used to be, we can still do something to the Mu family."

"What, why don't you give it a try!"

Everyone was surprised that she, who seemed quite young, could say such things, leaving Mu Shishi speechless. No one dared to speak either; Imperial University was overflowing with children from high-ranking families and the daughters and sons of wealthy and powerful families in the capital…

These groups all have their own circles, and ordinary people rarely have contact with them, let alone integrate into them. For the children of high-ranking officials, family background matters, while for the children of wealthy families, it's all about whose father is richer...

They had no chance of even getting close to the Wang family in the capital. Such people were incredibly powerful and arrogant, and now these ordinary people had finally seen it for themselves.

"Hey, and you too..."

"If you want to live off a woman, just say so. What are you pretending for? I despise people like you the most."

"A bunch of trash, get out of here!"

Wang Zhu's way of humiliating people is so blatant, it's like she learned it from someone else. Mu Shishi originally wanted to embarrass Shen Bao'er in front of so many people and humiliate her, but then Jiang Hua showed up.

And this Wang Zhu suddenly revealed her embarrassing past, making her ashamed to stay here now.

He was so angry that he turned around and left...

It seems that Duan Qingfeng is of no use to her anymore. Wasn't Shen Bao'er completely infatuated with him?

This useless thing.

"Shishi, you're injured. I'll take you to the hospital."

Mu Shishi flung his hand away and looked at him coldly, "No need, I'll handle it myself. You can leave."

Duan Qingfeng: "The documents you asked me to deliver are still in my car. I'll go get them for you."

"I don't need it anymore, you can leave."

"What you promised tonight..."

"It depends on my mood. We'll talk about it tonight."

Mu Shishi didn't even give him a chance to speak, and simply turned and left without paying him any attention.

Watching the people slink away, Mu Shishi looked smug. When she turned around, she saw that Jiang Hua was no longer there. Wang Zhu wanted to chase after her, but suddenly someone appeared and blocked her way. "Xiao Zhu? If I remember correctly, your name is Wang Zhu, right?"

A sweet voice called out to her.

When Wang Jia saw the person in front of him, he felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. He looked the person up and down with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Song Qingran. We met once before in Chairman Jiang's office when I went to deliver the documents."

"do you remember me?"

Seeing that the person was almost gone, Wang Zhu's eyes showed a hint of impatience. "So many people fawn over me every day, do I have to get to know them all?"

"Get out of the way, stop blocking my way."

Wang Zhu pushed Song Qingran away, and Song Qingran took a few steps back and almost fell. Xue Ruyao and Xiaoyu caught her in time.

Xue Ruyao, standing up for him, said, "Hey, you little brat, don't you know any manners? Why did you push someone like that? Just because you have a family doesn't mean you're so great!"

"Qingran, are you alright?"

Song Qingran frowned and shook her head. "I'm fine."

…It seems I'll have to wait until next time to return it.

Wang Zhu chased after her, calling out, "Sister, wait for me!"

Wang Zhu, who was behind her, had been following Jiang Hua for more than a week, buying her cakes and desserts from time to time and leaving them at the door of her apartment. Jiang Hua did not know her purpose, and she did not accept any of the things of unknown origin, but had the housekeeper throw them all out.

"I am not your sister."

Wang Zhu didn't care about Jiang Hua's cold demeanor at all and continued to follow behind her, saying, "You're a few years older than me, so I should call you 'sister,' otherwise it would be impolite." She was smart enough not to mention the relationship between the two families; if she did, Wang Zhu knew she would be even angrier.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything more, and instead turned her gaze to Shen Bao'er. "Sister Bao'er, that kind of scumbag isn't worth your affection. You should find someone else."

"I could tell at a glance that that kind of person wasn't a good person."

"Stop following me, go back." After walking a little further, we arrived at Jiang Hua's apartment.

Wang Zhu clasped his hands behind his back, smiled, and said, "I'll walk with you for a while longer."

"Sister, that Mu Shishi was never a good person. It's obvious that the two of them are having an affair. Before... she liked Shen Bulu, but Shen Bulu didn't like her anymore. She even took off her clothes and slept with him. She was kicked out that night. The commotion was too big that night, so not many people knew about it, and the news was suppressed."

Wang Zhu walked and talked, but neither of them paid any attention to her. She continued talking about the gossip she knew until they reached the apartment building. Wang Zhu stopped there and said, "Sister, I'll walk you this far. I'm going back to school now."

"I'll come see you again next time."

Jiang Hua completely ignored her. After returning to the apartment upstairs, Shen Bao'er sat on the sofa with her head down. Jiang Hua poured her a glass of water and placed it on the tea table, then sat down beside her. "Now you see, Duan Qingfeng and Mu Shishi have been secretly together for a long time. If he really liked you, he wouldn't have embarrassed you in front of so many people..."

"Who told you to meddle? That country bumpkin is also having an ambiguous relationship with Song Qingran, and you're still with him too. What right do you have to criticize me?" Shen Bao'er said indignantly. "He wasn't like this before. It's all Mu Shishi's fault, and you too... This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you."

"I want to be with him, I just like him! What you just said was just something you conspired with your brother to say on purpose."

"He's not as bad as you say at all. It was all Mu Shishi who instigated him."

Jiang Hua was surprised that Bao'er was still so stubborn.

“My relationship with Pei Zhan is completely different from your relationship with Duan Qingfeng. I had no choice but to be with him. But you have a choice. You have Ye Bai and your great-grandfather by your side. They all love you so much and cherish you like a precious gem. But I… now the Jiang family only has me and my father. You know, my father and I have no interest in managing the huge Jiang family. We can only let Pei Zhan stay in the Jiang family.”

“Bao’er, Duan Qingfeng is not a good person.”

Shen Bao'er: "He's not a good person, but does that mean a country bumpkin is a good person?"

"If you really considered me a friend, why did you secretly hide your marriage from me?"

"If you divorce him, I won't like him anymore."

"How about it? Can you do it?"

Jiang Hua was speechless, unable to utter a single word. Bao'er seemed to be caught in a whirlpool of love, a turbulent current. No matter how many people came, no one could pull her out of the whirlpool unless she woke up on her own and walked ashore.

When it comes to matters of the heart, outsiders always have a clearer view; no matter how much advice you give, it's all in vain…

Jiang Hua didn't say anything more to her. "Okay, whatever you do, I will support you, even if you want to take Duan Qingfeng back from her."

"Even if you help me, I won't appreciate it." Shen Bao'er snorted and left after a short while.

The engagement banquet proceeded as planned that evening.

The only people who came to the hotel were relatives from two families, about a dozen people in total.

The Shen family also gave Mu Shiyue a lot of face, and the gift money was very generous.

When Shen Xinglang appeared before everyone, he was still in a wheelchair, pushed by Mu Shiyue. When it came time to offer toasts, Mu Shiyue appeared before everyone with grace and poise, offering toasts one by one.

Today, only Jiang Hua from the Jiang family came, and she naturally sat next to Shen Yebai.

As Mu Shiyue approached, a smile appeared on her lips. "From now on, we're family. Ye Bai, you should call me sister-in-law from now on." This was an inexplicable provocation.

Shen Yebai remained seated, exuding an aloof air, and did not respond to her, only instructing Mu Shiyue to hold up her glass.

After a while, Shen Xinglang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, spoke, "Ye Bai."

He spoke, and Shen Yebai finally reacted. He picked up his chopsticks and served some food to Jiang Hua beside him. "No need for wine. Just behave yourself from now on."

Mu Shiyue's smile froze slightly before she quickly regained her composure and said, "The two families have their own agendas in this marriage alliance, what else can I do?"

"It's none of my business, don't tell me."

Mu Shiyue simply smiled slightly, then looked at Jiang Hua beside her, "Miss Jiang."

Jiang Hua was about to pick up the cup next to her to drink tea instead of wine, but the next second, her hand was pressed down: "Hua Hua and I have other things to do. The congratulatory gift will be delivered at the party, so we won't stay any longer."

Shen Xinglang nodded almost without any temper. "Be careful on the road."

The Shen family's genes are not bad, but Shen Xinglang is different. He has been in poor health since childhood. They have tried all sorts of methods, taken medicine, and seen doctors, but his illness just won't get better.

Today, too, I can only sit in a wheelchair.

Get out of the hotel.

It was already dark outside, and a slight breeze was blowing.

Shen Yebai took off his white suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Hua, saying, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Hua did not refuse.

They got in the car and caught the last performance of the play.

Jiang Hua told Shen Yebai what had happened that day.

As Shen Yebai had expected, he said, "The Shen family has protected her too well over the years, which is why she can't judge people. She will only understand when she suffers the consequences."

Seeing the person beside him remain silent, Shen Yebai looked over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Hua came to her senses and looked at the performance on stage. It had reached the finale. The person who had left had finally returned to where he was and married the person he loved. And she... her ten years of waiting had not been in vain. She had finally become his wife and married the person she loved.

"It's nothing, I just feel that compared to the regrets of the past, I still prefer the current ending."

Shen Yebai calmly withdrew his gaze from her face and looked at the stage not far in front of him. "Hmm."

What Jiang Hua was thinking just now was that if Bao'er's biggest obsession now is Duan Qingfeng, then everything Bao'er experienced in her past life can already be traced back to this.

What is destined to happen will happen. In her previous life, Bao'er married Duan Qingfeng, but he treated her badly after the marriage. She was bullied and could only silently endure it.

The Wang and Mu families have joined forces to suppress the Shen family, and that's for sure...

However, since Mu Shiyue is not now married to Shen Yebai, she is less of a threat.

However, Jiang Hua couldn't help but wait until the end of the performance to remind him, "Actually, I've long suspected that Mu Shishi and Duan Qingfeng's affair was all planned."

"We can't let Bao'er continue with him."

With his legs dangling, Shen Yebai said calmly and without any emotion, "The higher you stand now, the more terrible the fall will be later."

Jiang Hua: "What about Bao'er? Are we just leaving her alone?"

Shen Yebai: "She doesn't even listen to you."

"It's good to suffer a little; you'll understand later."

When she returned home that evening, the theater was quite crowded. Someone accidentally bumped into her, and Jiang Hua, wearing high heels, lost her balance and fell down next to Shen Yebai.

He reacted quickly, instinctively putting his arm around Jiang Hua's waist. The other person was in a hurry, so he quickly apologized to Jiang Hua and ran away.

Jiang Hua's hand was held by him, and in that instant, their eyes met, creating an indescribable subtle atmosphere around them.

When Jiang Hua finally realized what was happening, she quickly let go.

Shen Yebai gave her a ride back to Yulong Bay.

That evening, Jiang Hua lay in bed as usual, a book open in her hand…

"Miss?"

"Miss?"

Jiang Hua snapped out of her daze. "Hmm?"

Xu Qiulan brought a glass of milk and placed it on her bedside table. "Miss has been absent-minded lately. Is she thinking about Young Master Pei?"

Just then, Jiang Hua's phone rang...
