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

Chapter 302 Have you thought it through? Give me your answer anytime.

"Huahua, it's Pei Zhan on the phone."

Xu Qiulan handed the phone from Jiang Weiguo's hand to Jiang Hua, saying, "Miss." She didn't say a word, nor did she even glance at it.

Seeing this, Xu Qiulan didn't dare to say anything, and simply handed the phone back to Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo had no choice but to say to the person on the phone himself, "Huahua just came back from the mall and is a little tired. I can pass on what you want to her, or you can call her yourself tonight after she has rested."

"I hope nothing has happened overseas."

Pei Zhan: "No, no."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Zhan quickly received Jiang Hua's shopping list from the mall in Didu City. Most of the items were local specialties from Didu City, and she even bought the nearly extinct Baiyu Ointment. Baiyu Ointment is made with rare medicinal materials and takes nearly half a year to produce, let alone buying so much at once.

Connecting all of Jiang Hua's actions, Pei Zhan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"This number is a virtual number, and its origin cannot be traced."

"I understand." Pei Zhan was not surprised.

He... got smarter.

"Yes."

The things Jiang Hua prepared were ultimately picked up by the Bai family. She didn't get along with Madam Bai and had a close relationship with Song Qingran. When Madam Bai came to Yulong Bay in person, Jiang Hua didn't even come downstairs.

Bai Wenjing: "Thank you for your trouble, you bought so many things."

Jiang Weiguo smiled and said, "Madam Bai, you are too kind. This is what my daughter should do. They are just some insignificant things. I hope you won't find them offensive."

"When Pei Zhan returns, I will invite Huahua to visit the Bai family. I will definitely cook for her myself."

"nature."

After Bai Wenjing left by car, she received a call from abroad. Seeing that it was her daughter, she answered without hesitation, "What's wrong?"

Bai Rui said, "Mom, I'll give you an address in a bit. Don't write me and Wen Qian as the recipients."

"Okay, Mom knows. You've said this so many times. Don't worry, Mom isn't that senile. How are you and Wen Qian doing abroad? You've been together for so many years, and you're not getting any younger. It's time to have a child. The sooner you have one, the faster you'll recover."

"Okay, Wen Qian and I will consider it. Mom, I still need to do a check-up with Wen Qian, so I'll hang up now."

Since returning, Bai Rui had already realized that he no longer wanted to live. He had stopped taking his medication, and even surgery was out of the question. He avoided her and hid away, wanting to leave quietly.

No matter how much she pleaded and begged him to live, he seemed to have long lost the will to live and never listened to a word she said.

Aside from her… just a phone call, a few simple words, were more powerful than a thousand words from her.

Many of the things Jiang Hua bought were food, and they couldn't be delivered within 24 hours. Fearing that they wouldn't be delivered on time, she specially used the Jiang family's private plane to send them over. At the fastest, they could be received within ten hours. There is a seven-hour difference between the two countries. It's 1 p.m. in the capital now, which is around 8 or 9 p.m. there...

Around 3:30 pm, Jiang Hua went to school again. At the west gate of the school, Wang Zhu was carrying her schoolbag, idly clutching the strap and kicking her feet, as if waiting for someone. When she caught sight of Jiang Hua out of the corner of her eye, she immediately smiled and chased after her, "Sister, do you want to go home for dinner together tonight?"

"Grandpa is cooking today and wants us to come over."

Wang Zhu's prestigious high school is not too far from Imperial University, less than a 20-minute walk away.

"I've already told you I'm not your sister."

Wang Zhu followed Jiang Hua happily. When she saw the book in Jiang Hua's hands, her face lit up with surprise. She had finally found a common topic. "Sister, are you also reading this book? Your jewelry restoration book is different from the one I'm reading. Is this a new one?"

Where did you buy it?

"I've read this book over and over again, and I can almost recite it from memory."

Jiang Hua didn't expect Wang Zhu to be so persistent, like a leech that she couldn't shake off no matter what she did. "Go by yourself if you want to go. I don't have time."

"Sister, go!"

"This time all the dishes are your favorites, and there are also dried plums, they're all for you."

Listening to each word, Jiang Hua felt increasingly annoyed and disliked her continued nagging. So she stopped and made everything clear at once, her eyes cold as she looked at the girl in front of her, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. Jiang Hua wasn't much younger than her; she was eighteen... an age when one understands everything, and is also adept at pretending, able to learn good or bad in an instant.

“I think I’ve made myself clear. I don’t care how your parents treat you, whether they’ve severed ties or stopped associating with the Wang family. None of that matters to me. All I know is that your father killed my mother, and because of them, I almost died in the wilderness when I was just born. Do you know how I developed my heart condition?”

“I survived only because your father almost killed me. Over the past twenty years, I have undergone countless surgeries, had a heart transplant, and several times... I almost didn’t make it back to life.”

“I could have lived a normal life, but the cause of all this tragedy is your father and everyone in your Wang family. The Wang family and the Jiang family are not only family feuds but also sworn enemies. Whether it’s your father or you… as long as you have the surname Wang, you don’t deserve my forgiveness.”

"As long as you're with Grandpa, I won't go back... That's my principle. I'm not as good as you think, and I'm not a good person either. I won't pity a stranger. If you have to blame someone... blame your surname, Wang!"

"This is the last time I'll say these things to you. If it happens again, I'll go directly to Grandpa."

Wang Zhu didn't expect Jiang Hua's attitude to remain the same. She thought that even if things hadn't improved these past few days, she wouldn't dislike her as much.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know any of this!" Besides being shocked by these facts, Wang Zhu also felt guilty towards her, as she had no idea about any of this.

"Alright, stop looking like you've wronged me. I don't need to apologize."

"I'll say it again: as long as you're here at the Jiang family's old house, I won't go there. Don't bother me anymore."

Wang Zhu: "I understand."

"No matter what, Grandpa has always been thinking about you all these years. I hope my sister can go back and visit. Starting tomorrow, I will live at school by myself."

"Could you...go and check on Grandpa?"

People passing by scrutinized Wang Zhu as she rushed out, making her feel very uncomfortable. She ignored them and turned to leave for Professor Guo's office.

Professor Guo had just returned from get out of class. In the conference room next door, Jiang Hua told him all her thoughts, including what she was going to do next. Now, her book has been used as a textbook in jewelry restoration courses and elective courses at Imperial University and other universities, which can be considered to fill the knowledge gap that had existed for so many years.

"If needed, the Jiang family will provide some 1:1 replicas of the jewelry as teaching materials. I have already asked the jewelry factory to arrange this, but the finished products will probably differ from the originals. I will write a document detailing the differences and send it to you."

Guo Youcai said with relief, "Fortunately, you didn't take over the association's affairs back then, otherwise... you wouldn't have had time to write these books that are so hard to come by."

“Now you are becoming more and more like your mother, and you are focusing all your attention on your career. I am happy to see you getting better little by little.”

"However, you also need to take care of your health, you know?"

Jiang Hua: "Yes, I will."

More than an hour had passed since they started chatting, and Jiang Hua was about to leave when a loud argument suddenly broke out in the next office.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I embezzled the studio's money? All the expenses and income are listed here. You all saw the details when we split the money at the end of last month. Last time you helped a client repair jewelry, a mistake was made and a flaw was found... If it weren't for Qingran, you would have to pay that money."

"Xue Ruyao, stop talking nonsense. It's your own fault for not dividing the money fairly. Even if each order is worth 100,000, it's impossible that our studio of more than a dozen people would only get a few thousand. There must have been some embezzlement in the middle."

"That's right! If you really haven't embezzled a single penny, then you should verify all the records of your interactions with clients and the transfer records."

"Even if it's not online, what about behind the scenes! Who knows how much money she secretly received when she was contacting clients!"

“I invested 100,000 yuan in the middle, and Xue Ruyao is telling me that I don’t want to do it anymore, so you have to give me back all the money.”

The instructor in charge of the jewelry restoration studio quickly called them over.

Hearing the arguing next door, Jiang Hua asked Professor Guo, "What's going on with them?"

Professor Guo shook his head helplessly and said, "Since the association was established, they have set up a jewelry repair studio. The school has also specially approved the campus incubation park as their office space, and they have also been allowed to use the equipment in your old classroom at will."

"Who knew that they would forget their original studies in order to focus on the studio? At first, they could still listen to my classes, but now the rate of absenteeism and tardiness is increasing, and more and more people are switching to elective courses. They think they understand everything, and they only think about the immediate benefits and forget to improve their own abilities. That's when the problem arose."

"The issue of unequal profit distribution has been argued about many times. Some people have even invested money in the business and almost lost everything. Many of their former clients have stopped dealing with them, and now they can only take on some ordinary jewelry repair orders."

"By the way, someone else came to me earlier, wanting to ask if you were still going to take on the job. I thought you were busy with your work lately, so I turned it down for you. With your grades, if you can get through another six months, you can graduate early. The school is also planning to promote you to an outstanding graduate, and you'll also receive a scholarship."

Jiang Hua was somewhat surprised. She had entered Imperial University with the lowest possible score. She wasn't even qualified to study jewelry design. It was only because her father built several buildings and laboratories for her that she was admitted despite not meeting the requirements.

Initially, she just wanted to coast through the semester. Even if her attendance was low, she could take some tests and take a few language electives to improve her grades and barely graduate.

Jiang Hua feels incredibly lucky to have graduated with honors...

The arguing outside continued.

"You're not the only one who invested money in the studio; you didn't get a share of the profits?"

"If you think it's too little, you don't have to take it!"

"Let me tell you, you can quit if you want, but there's no way you can take back your original 100,000 yuan. You're not the only one who lost money. No one's stopping you from leaving now. Who knows who was begging to join in the first place? Besides, most of the studio's funds came from people Qingran found to invest in. What does that have to do with you?" Xue Ruyao also had a fiery temper. She was shocked to hear that everyone who used to want to make a lot of money, go public, and surpass the Jiang family was now falling apart because of unequal distribution of profits, and everyone was thinking about quitting.

"Xue Ruyao, don't go too far! You're the one handling all the client information, and your good friend Xu Qing manages the finances. One of you has access to the clients' core data, and the other manages the studio's money. If you weren't greedy, how could you afford a bag that costs 100,000 yuan! Let me tell you, if you can't explain these things clearly today, I'm calling the police..."

Xue Ruyao: "I'll report it then, who's afraid of you!"

"I failed a course for a lousy studio and have to retake it. I'll have trouble graduating then, and I've already lost money. Xue Ruyao, you just wait."

The tutor couldn't control her no matter what she did. She watched as the girl who had been arguing ran out and bumped into Jiang Hua, Professor Guo, and the others as soon as she opened the door. Jiang Hua didn't even glance at them before pressing the elevator button to go downstairs.

Professor Guo: "I won't see you off. What I just said, think it over... and give me your answer anytime you've made up your mind."

"Of course, I also hope it's within your capabilities, so you don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Jiang Hua: "Hmm, I'll consider it."

Xue Ruyao gritted her teeth secretly, and seeing Jiang Hua coming downstairs made her furious...

But the thought that her mother was just a nanny made her feel a little better. After all, her mother was a bank manager, whose position and social status were much higher than hers. The comparison in her mind made her feel much better.

So what if everyone hears it? At least... you can't survive by trying to please men.

Without any source of income... you can only spend time with men. Jiang Hua, you must be having a very difficult time right now!

Jiang Hua went down to the teaching building, sneezed, and wondered who was gossiping behind her back again…

Back at her apartment near the school, Jiang Hua chose her next book, set a direction, and began preparing for a while…

As soon as she got busy, it got dark outside. By 9:30 p.m., Jiang Hua was already feeling sleepy.

After showering and drying my hair, I got into bed and almost fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow…

I didn't hear my phone vibrate under my pillow until I heard it. I was so sleepy that I didn't even look at the caller ID before answering, "Who is this?" I asked, my voice heavy with tiredness.

"Mrs. Pei, you sleep... so punctually?" His voice was deep and pleasant to the ear.
