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

At that moment, Ji Liangchuan felt that what he said was right.

He raised his bloodshot eyes, his whole demeanor looking utterly wretched in front of him. "You're right. It was my greed and selfishness that took away the place you had by her side. Everything I'm suffering now is what I deserve."

"If my death can atone for the hatred you feel towards the Jiang family."

"I am willing to bear this price for the Jiang family."

He probably won't live much longer now, so even if... he can do something for her... for the Jiang family in his final moments, that would be good.

"No...you can't." Seeing him like this, Bai Rui, who had finally rekindled her hope and wanted to live, trembled with distress. "Pei Zhan, you can't let him do this. Some things can never be kept secret forever. If Ji Liangchuan dies, I'll tell Jiang Hua everything you've done to him, including...the Zhou family!"

Pei Zhan: "Are you threatening me?!"

Bai Rui steeled herself, wanting to take the gamble for him, and said, "Yes!"

"I knew all along what you would do to him, so I made preparations long ago. If I die, someone will deliver everything I've prepared to her. At that time... do you think Jiang Hua will forgive you?"

"Yes, it's wrong for Ji Liangchuan to use your identity, but he's already paid the price. What more do you want from him!"

"That's enough!"

Bai Rui didn't want to continue watching him suffer like this.

"You have people you care about, and so do I... I'm not afraid of a fight to the death." Just like... Ji Liangchuan was willing to give up his life for her.

Kagel stepped forward and calmly analyzed, word by word, "Ji Liangchuan is indeed a great threat to the young master. The young mistress may have been attracted to him, but that was only in the past. Don't forget, young master... In the young mistress's heart, the future of the Jiang family is greater than anything else. She was able to let go of Ji Liangchuan and marry you."

“I think this time…the young mistress came to France to see him simply to make sure he is doing well.”

"How about we follow Ji Liangchuan's suggestion and use his understanding of the young lady to propose a solution, so that the young mistress can completely reconcile with you?"

"During the last phone call, the young master wanted to hold a new wedding with the young mistress, and the young mistress's tone didn't directly refuse, which means... there's still room for reconciliation."

Bystanders often see things more clearly than those involved. Several times, he lost his composure because of the young mistress's affairs. What Kagel had to do was to help him regain his senses as much as possible and prevent him from doing anything he would regret.

Two hours later, Pei Zhan left the private hospital, and the wards on that floor were all 'protected' by bodyguards.

Sitting in the car, Kagel's voice rang out: "It's not hard to see that the young master doesn't want to hurt him. In fact, the young master understands many things in his heart, including Ji Liangchuan's importance to the young mistress. It's just that sometimes he can't control his behavior, like tonight... cutting off Ji Liangchuan's medication is just a punishment for him."

"Such punishment comes more from the young mistress. The young master doesn't want to see her heartbroken and neglect her health because of someone insignificant."

If the young master wanted to do something to Ji Liangchuan, he could have kept it a secret from everyone, including himself... and made Ji Liangchuan disappear without a trace.

The young master had his concerns, but he also understood in his heart that Ji Liangchuan... should not die!

Kagel had seen something similar happen to his master, Huo Tingshan.

Even the most rational person, who is a force to be reckoned with in the business world, can become completely uncontrollable when faced with the woman they love, due to matters of the heart.

Even the most arrogant person will willingly step down from their top position when facing the one they love, becoming at her beck and call, watching her every whim, and acting with extreme caution in everything they do…

"You seem to understand everything."

Kagel replied, "My master has experienced everything that happened to the young master. I have followed my master for many years, and as an observer, I naturally understand."

...

After Jiang Hua rested for a night, the hotel arranged for staff to accompany her to the hospital for a check-up.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't need to do anything except cooperate with the doctor.

After the examination was completed, in the office next door, separated by a curtain, Pei Zhan received Jiang Hua's medical report half an hour earlier than she did. The best medical team to treat heart surgery had rushed to France the night before and had spent the entire night familiarizing themselves with everything at this private hospital before waiting for Jiang Hua to arrive.

The blonde, blue-eyed doctor, who would become Jiang Hua's attending physician, said, "After analyzing Ms. Jiang's past medical reports, our team has developed a perfect treatment plan. Compared to the past, Ms. Jiang's condition has been significantly brought under control."

"If the patient's emotions are not subjected to strong stimulation, a heart transplant may be avoided."

"By not having a heart transplant, Ms. Jiang can also reduce the uncertain risks."

Kagel also reported the news he had just received to him: "The Huo Group has invested in the world's largest pharmaceutical research and development center. It has made some progress in the development of drugs to treat heart disease. However, the drugs are still in clinical trials and it will take about three months to determine whether the drugs have any side effects. At that time... young mistress can take them together with the newly developed drugs."

The Horton Group not only has huge investments in clinical medicine, but also has capital injections into all its industries worldwide.

After reviewing Jiang Hua's newly released medical report, Pei Zhan handed it to the doctor beside him and said, "Tell her to rest as much as possible."

Aside from feeling dizzy from not sleeping well last night, Jiang Hua didn't feel unwell. After the doctor brought her the medical report and gave her some instructions, she took the arranged car back to the hotel.

It was only 10 a.m. when she left the hospital. It had rained all day yesterday, and Jiang Hua was still feeling a bit down and uncomfortable as she leaned back in the passenger seat.

Because... he didn't have a good time at all during his time in France...

All these problems were caused by her!

Back at the hotel, the lobby manager, mindful that Jiang Hua hadn't eaten, led her to the 19th-floor sky restaurant. The place seemed meticulously decorated, with various expensive flowers filling the opulent lobby. Elegant violin music played, and other guests were dining nearby…

Jiang Hua was taken to a quiet corner by herself, where there was a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the beach. Besides the music, she could also hear the majestic sound of the waves…

As the waiter served the dishes, the hotel manager introduced each dish in fluent French while carefully observing Jiang Hua's emotions.

"How far is it from here to Nice?"

Hotel butler: "It's 521 kilometers. The drive would take about six hours, possibly with traffic. By plane, it would take about two hours, but the weather is bad right now, so the flight might be delayed."

"However... my suggestion is that Miss Jiang should follow the doctor's advice and rest for a while after she has recovered. It won't be too late to go when you have recovered."

"A few days later, our hotel can also arrange staff to accompany Ms. Jiang to guide her and do our best to serve her along the way."

Jiang Hua propped her forehead up and looked at the sea outside, seemingly uninterested in anything. "We'll see when the time comes..." The last time she landed, she felt terrible all night before she was even a little better.

Around 5 p.m., the rain stopped a little. Jiang Hua, holding an umbrella, went to the coffee shop she had visited the day before. Passing through the square, she could still see the old lady. This time, she was awake, sitting on a wooden chair, bending over to feed the stray cats on the ground.

As I entered the shop, Lillian smiled as she tidied up the half-finished coffee.

Jiang Hua: "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Lillian: "Hua, I met a man who is even more handsome than Liang. I'm a little afraid of him, but I feel like he is my destiny."

A rare smile appeared on Jiang Hua's face all day: "Didn't you ask for her contact information?"

Lillian: "I wouldn't dare. If you were here, you would definitely be fascinated by him too."

Jiang Hua smiled but didn't say anything. Lillian was only nineteen, the time when youth is most eager for love. "I'm already married."

"Oh my god, Hua... I thought you and Liang were a couple! You came to see him this time specifically to take him back to get married. The man you've chosen must be even better looking and more outstanding than Liang. I trust your judgment." Lillian made her a sparkling juice and some dessert at the bar and placed them in front of her.

Jiang Hua's face was expressionless. She simply said calmly, "I was naive when I was young." She had undeniably been attracted to Pei Zhan, but loving him had cost her dearly. In this life... Jiang Hua had long since given up all hope for him. Now, she was just living one day at a time.

Lillian: "You must be joking."

"Did you find it? Is it cold yet?"

Jiang Hua: "No." Her disappointment was hard to hide.

“Hua, does your husband know you came out alone? If you secretly go out to find Liang, your husband will be heartbroken.”

Jiang Hua suddenly fell silent. She lowered her eyes and looked at the blue liquid bubbling in the drink. After a long while, she slowly said, "Between him and me, there is only benefit, nothing to do with feelings."

"He doesn't need to know that I'm here."

He still had the opportunity to care for Song Qingran and love and take care of her in every possible way, but what about her?

All these years have passed, and Jiang Hua still doesn't know if he's doing well or not. She has never even uttered a single word of concern to him.

Jiang Hua chatted with her for a while, sat there for a bit, and then left.

However, shortly after Jiang Hua left, a tall foreign man in a suit appeared, holding a thick envelope filled with US dollars and a document. "This is your payment. As requested, the property rights of this shop now belong to you."

"But remember, don't tell anyone that we were here."

Holding the heavy US dollars in her hand, Lillian couldn't help but say, "Hua, that's good. Don't bully her."

Kagel replied gently, "Miss Jiang is the future mistress of the Huo family, and we would never do anything to harm her."

After uttering those words, Lillian was still in shock. "My God, Hua... you are actually..."

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Hua took a shower and dried her hair with a white towel. She was wearing a silk camisole nightgown, and water droplets still dripped from her hair on her fair skin, giving her an air of mist.

Standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Jiang Hua could see a line of black cars driving into the villa across the street. As the gate opened, white lights lit up one by one throughout the entire estate.

Jiang Hua didn't see the man clearly until he got out of the car. He was too far away to see clearly, but she felt a slight sense of familiarity as she watched them walk into the villa.

Jiang Hua looked away and saw the phone on the table. She picked it up and thought it was a message from Pei Zhan, but it turned out to be just an unimportant news item.

Their chat history is still at...

Pei Zhan sent the message: Goodnight.

It should still be around 1 a.m. in China right now.

He thought he was probably already asleep.

"Everything has been arranged. The young mistress won't notice anything amiss. Young master, please get some rest. Good night." Kagel reported the situation behind Pei Zhan. After seeing him enter the room, he stopped and waited until the door was closed before leaving downstairs.

In the pitch-black room, Pei Zhan was about to turn on the switch on the wall when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the opposite floor. Jiang Hua's gaze seemed to be fixed on his location.

Upon seeing her, Pei Zhan hesitated for a moment before lowering his hand and walking into the hidden darkness. He approached her from a distance, where he too was watching her from a distance.

A gentle smile appeared in his deep, dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.

For as long as she stood there, Pei Zhan watched her in the darkness.

At this moment… Pei Zhan really wanted to know what she was thinking!

Jiang Hua wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like the person opposite her was spying on her!

Who knows if the telescope on the balcony is actually used for some disgusting things!

Her sixth sense is always very accurate!

So when she became aware of it, Jiang Hua rarely opened the curtains.

Beautiful, thin eyebrows furrowed slightly: You pervert!

If this were in China, she would definitely have gone there!

In the past two days, Jiang Hua only spent a few hours around the school where Ji Liangchuan was. Everyone who approached her assumed she was a student there. She had also visited the area around the school mentioned in the letter…

Pei Zhan seemed to be very busy lately. She called him at the agreed time to strengthen their 'husband-wife' relationship... At this time... he was in a meeting. When the call connected, Jiang Hua didn't say anything. She listened to him speaking fluent French, which was full of professional terms, some of which Jiang Hua couldn't understand. After his meeting ended, the two chatted about unimportant things for a few minutes before hanging up.

The following day at noon, on a rare sunny day with not a cloud in the sky, Jiang Hua was having lunch alone in a restaurant when she answered the phone, just as she had expected…
