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

Chapter 305 He's not a criminal, why does he need to be monitored every day?

It had been a long time since he had heard Jiang Hua speak to him in a voice without any sharpness, "Is Mrs. Pei happy because she received the bag I gave you, or because... I helped Mrs. Pei?"

Jiang Hua didn't grasp the deeper meaning in his words, but Pei Zhan was subtly testing her.

It seems that both of Pei Zhan's actions made Jiang Hua feel good...

So I chatted with him a little longer on the phone.

"I feel like you've done something decent. The bag is nice, and I like the color. A Qianhua Century bag isn't cheap. How come you still have money on you?" Jiang Hua's tone immediately became dissatisfied that Pei Zhan had money on him.

Hearing a soft laugh coming from the phone, Pei Zhan said, "Mrs. Pei, aren't you being too strict? It's been so long, I need to hide some money for myself too, otherwise how will I buy you a gift?"

Jiang Hua's face gradually darkened. Sure enough... all those promises about giving her all the money, and the fact that she herself was penniless, were lies.

"I didn't give it to her, I just signed the bill. I'll have to trouble Mrs. Pei to settle the bill."

Pei Zhan even went out of his way to explain it to Jiang Hua.

These words barely softened Jiang Hua's expression. She didn't like it; someone had lied to her!

Moreover, Pei Zhan is already a repeat offender with a criminal record.

"You still haven't told me how he is!"

Pei Zhan told him, "He's alright for now."

"That's good. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Well, go to bed early."

Jiang Hua hung up the phone immediately. She felt that something was off about the call, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hua saw it: the crystal ball that was originally in the cabinet had suddenly appeared on the dressing table. She casually put down her favorite bag and turned on the light from the crystal ball. A blue light shone onto the ceiling…

In her past life, she hid this crystal ball, and no one knew about it. This was mostly out of spite. Whether she married Pei Zhan or divorced him, he never showed up to see her until his death, so she didn't take it with her when she left.

If Jiang Hua hadn't seen it again after being reborn, she wouldn't have taken it out again. Jiang Hua had almost accomplished everything her mother wanted to do before she died, but only he…

It was Jiang Hua's regret across two lifetimes.

Ji Liangchuan... I will definitely find you this time.

...

"As long as the young master doesn't bring up the past in front of the young mistress and goes along with her wishes, she won't be as annoyed with him as before."

Pei Zhan turned to look at Kagel behind him and instructed him, "Once the money from Huayuan arrives, transfer it to Huahua."

"Yes, young master."

"Ji Liangchuan, how is the situation now?"

Kagel said, "It will take the doctors two more hours to get to the hospital, and the surgery can probably be performed tomorrow."

He wanted to see what kind of fate awaited Ji Liangchuan after all these years of his silent disappearance.

Finally, Pei Zhan instructed, "Send everything from the airport back to the Huo family."

Pei Zhan sent Bai Rui to France under his very nose to prevent this day from coming to pass.

Still not giving up?

Then let him give up completely!

What is stolen will not last!

France, hospital.

Bai Rui fed him the porridge she had cooked, saying, "The things sent from the capital have been picked up at the airport by someone. They should arrive soon."

"Huahua sent a lot of specialties from the capital, including the crispy fish that you and she love the most. It was made by Aunt Xu herself. You can try it when you're almost better. You still need to recover and can't eat these things right now. I heard from Mom that Huahua sent a lot." Bai Rui knew all his stories and secrets, and she knew about his past with Jiang Hua. She said these words only in the hope that they would give him the hope to accept treatment and live.

"After all these years, Ji Liangchuan... you still haven't given up!" A cold voice came from outside the door. Bai Rui quickly turned around to look at the door, her movements instinctively forming a shield in front of Ji Liangchuan. "What else do you want to do!"

"He's already in this state, you should let him go."

Pei Zhan glanced at her with disdain and indifference, then looked at the people behind her. He simply waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him took Bai Rui aside.

Bai Rui shouted anxiously, "Pei Zhan, what are you doing!"

"If you have a problem, come at me. Don't hurt him!"

A sharp, cold glint flashed in Pei Zhan's deep eyes as he looked at Ji Liangchuan's half-dead body. "Ji Liangchuan, don't forget how you got here all these years in the Jiang family!"

"Stolen things will never have a good ending. If I were you, I wouldn't humiliate myself by wanting to take them back."

"Now Huahua is my wife. If you can't remember, I have plenty of ways to make you remember."

From beginning to end, Ji Liangchuan remained silent, not uttering a single word. What right did he have to say anything?!

They were meant to be together...

"Then treat her well and don't do anything to hurt her." A weak, flat voice rang out.

Pei Zhan stepped forward, exuding a terrifying pressure and a dreadful aura that was impossible to ignore. Bai Rui sensed a hint of danger in Pei Zhan. "Since you can still speak, it seems your illness isn't too serious. Then... you don't need to take those medicines anymore."

"After enduring for so many years, if we endure a little longer, I think... nothing else will happen."

Pei Zhan was about to turn and leave when Bai Rui tried to break free, but she couldn't escape the bodyguard's control. "Pei Zhan! Think it through. If he dies, Jiang Hua will hate you for the rest of her life!"

"Don't forget what happened with Song Qingran before, including your revenge against the Jiang family for the sake of the Zhou family. If she finds out one day, she will hate you even more!"

"Bai Rui, shut up!" Ji Liangchuan's emotions were affected, and he suddenly coughed. He tasted the metallic sweetness in his mouth, but he swallowed it back down. It was just a few words, but it seemed to take all his strength.

"I don't deny that I did usurp the place back then, causing you to miss out."

"You were the one who stayed by her side. I've said I'll never appear in front of her again. With your current power, it's not difficult for you to create a death certificate."

“You can tell her that I’m already dead, and she’ll forget me quickly.”

"Cough cough cough... In my current state, I can't offer her anything."

His appearance did not elicit the slightest sympathy from Pei Zhan. Without turning his head, Pei Zhan said in an icy tone, "I can let bygones be bygones regarding that phone call from that night."

This is... the last time!

Bai Rui never expected Pei Zhan to have such a strong desire to control Jiang Hua; he could even find out about a single phone call…

After Pei Zhan left, Bai Rui went to check on Ji Liangchuan's injuries, but seeing that his cough was getting more and more violent and that he was in so much pain, Bai Rui's eyes were red but she could do nothing. Her presence by his side could not alleviate his pain in the slightest... She could only gently pat his back to make him feel a little better.

But then, in the next second…

Crimson blood gushed from his mouth, and his pupils focused and then slowly began to dilate.

Imperial City, Royal Dragon Bay.

On the bed, Jiang Hua held a drawing board in her hand and, relying on her past memories of him, used a pencil to draw his appearance on the white paper. So many years had passed that Jiang Hua could hardly remember what he looked like anymore.

All I remember is his familiar gaze…

No matter how you look at her, her amber eyes seem to hold countless stars, gentle and clear.

But then, Jiang Hua's heart suddenly skipped a beat, followed by a wave of panic. She lost control of the pencil in her hand, and the tip broke off...

This feeling was something I had never experienced before.

"Miss, you haven't taken your medicine yet." Xu Qiulan came in from outside.

Jiang Hua clutched her chest, a nameless worry creeping into her heart, and asked, "Aunt Xu, is Dad feeling alright today? Did he... have his checkup on time?"

Xu Qiulan: "Don't worry, Mr. is getting a physical check-up every two weeks now. Dr. Ouyang also said that Mr. will be fine."

"It's good that you're alright." But that still didn't calm her down. Jiang Hua took the medicine, which had a calming effect. After swallowing two pills, she lay down.

Xu Qiulan took the drawing board from the bed and placed it aside. She covered the girl with a blanket and went out. When she saw the person in the painting, she sighed inwardly. After all these years, the young lady still couldn't forget Young Master Liangchuan.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Hua returned to her life without Pei Zhan. He would call her from time to time and send her gifts, all according to her preferences. Recently... it seems that Pei Zhan has her under his control again.

Barely, this kept her in a relatively good mood during this period.

When the call came in, Jiang Hua answered it reluctantly. Sitting in the car, looking out at the rain, her mood soured again. "...Fine, I don't need you to worry about me. Just mind your own business."

Pei Zhan: "...Huahua, there are some things I want to hear you say in person. It's raining in the capital today, so go home early and don't make me worry."

Jiang Hua: "Shut up! You call me more than a dozen times a day, Pei Zhan, aren't you annoyed? Don't you have anything to do while you're abroad?"

She hung up the phone immediately. This man was incredibly boring. He would call her more than a dozen times a day, like checking up on her, asking if she had eaten or what she had eaten.

As soon as she leaves the house, this country bumpkin calls her within three minutes. Even though she's already gone abroad, he's still haunting her!

He's not a criminal; why should he be monitored every day?

Sitting in the back passenger seat, on the way to the Jiang family's old house, Jiang Hua thought of something. Could this bastard be using the same tactics he used on Song Qingran on her?

"Ha..." Jiang Hua laughed in exasperation.

After blocking his phone number, I simply tossed the phone aside.

When they arrived at the Jiang family's old residence, Jiang Hua brought some things from Yulong Bay, so she didn't go empty-handed and had her bodyguards carry them.

The courtyard has also been renovated, with bamboo planted on both sides. When spring comes next year, we can eat fresh bamboo shoots. There is also a small artificial pond by the river under the stone bridge, where carp and lotus flowers are raised.

The oil-paper umbrella that Jiang Hua was holding was made by her grandfather over a month, piece by piece. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and these kinds of things can't be bought outside.

Entering the hall, Jiang Hua wore a blue shawl with white tassels, exuding a gentle and beautiful aura, with a refined air. A light drizzle fell from the eaves, inevitably soaking her clothes. She folded her umbrella and handed it to a servant beside her, saying, "Grandpa?"

"You're here?" Jiang Huai was in the kitchen making fish soup.

"Sister!" Wang Zhu heard Jiang Hua's car coming from upstairs. She put on her coat and came downstairs, holding a reference book in her hand. "You're here. There are some parts of the jewelry restoration information that I don't quite understand. Could you teach me?"

"Hmm." Even though Jiang Hua was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept it.

A lot has happened this past month…

Shen Bulu's parents eventually divorced. Yang Li did not take any of the Shen family's property, but gave all of her share to Shen Bulu, including the shares of Shen's International Bank, just to ensure that he would secure his position as heir.

Because of Shen Yebai, those unclean members of the Shen family dared not cause any trouble.

In order to gain Shen Yebai's approval, Shen Bulu has been studying hard during this period, trying to make up for what he had neglected over the years. Now he can be considered to be doing quite well.

The television was broadcasting financial news, featuring an interview with Shen Bulu by the media.

Bao'er... People who love her are changing for her sake. Even her own brother has already planned out her future and is giving her enough protection and support.

All of this... is good.

At least, in this life, Jiang Hua changed Bao'er.

Only Jiang Hua herself…

Now, everyone in the entire capital city knows that the Shen family has become another family clinging to the Shen family's coattails.

Shen Yebai was as busy as ever, doing what he was supposed to do...

Jiang Hua compromised and accepted Wang Zhu, but her grandfather still showed her a lot of favoritism. After learning about the Shen family's affair, her grandfather broke his own principles for the first time, saying, "As long as I'm alive, I will protect you. The Shen family can do whatever they want. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it."

Wang Zhu's surname is Wang, but she was raised by her maternal grandfather.

She was beaten by her own mother when she was very young, and was hospitalized. She underwent brain surgery, and there are still surgical scars on the back of her head that are irreversible...

Not to mention that Jiang Hua is a stubborn but soft-hearted person who knows her past and background, and her hatred for her has gradually faded.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Zhu immediately went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the cake he had made, some dried plums, and poured her a glass of freshly heated milk, placing them all in front of Jiang Hua.

As Wang Zhu sat down, Jiang Hua said to her, "These books are just to give you a basic understanding of the past and present of jewelry. Your grandfather should have already given you the most important information. You don't need to read what I've written now. You just need to learn about the cutting techniques and production methods of some jewelry groups today, including the different methods, the machines used, and the forms of craftsmanship..."

"The video on the USB drive I copied for you can only be used as a practical demonstration."

Wang Zhu nodded, holding the book, her expression serious: "Oh, oh, oh, so there are so many! I understand, sister, I will definitely remember all the books that Grandpa gave me."

Jiang Hua: "Why...why did you learn these things?"

She said, "Because of Aunt Qingcheng, and because of you."
