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

The argument with Duan Qingfeng had previously strained their relationship, but after so many days, the negative emotions had dissipated.

"Did that country bumpkin make you angry again? Huahua, tell me, and I'll go teach her a lesson right now." Bao'er said, getting up as if she was about to fight Pei Zhan.

"Don't go..." Jiang Hua hugged her tightly, her voice very soft with a noticeable tremor.

Bao'er's heart skipped a beat, and Huahua burst into tears!

"Huahua, are you crying?" Shen Bao'er reached out and hugged her back, dropping the doll in her hand. This doll was a gift from her mother when she was little, and she had never let it out of her hand while sleeping since she was a child. The doll rolled to the ground, but Bao'er didn't even look at it.

"It's okay, it's okay... Huahua, you still have me and your brother! Don't cry." Bao'er's voice was soft and sweet as she placed her hand on Jiang Hua's back and patted it gently, trying to make her feel better.

Jiang Hua's sobs were very suppressed, without any sound, but the tears just kept flowing down, as if... she couldn't stop them no matter what she did.

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Hua has rarely cried for anyone.

With each tear she shed, her emotions were stirred, and her heart ached a little more.

Bao'er was unaware that Jiang Hua had a heart condition. After waiting for a while, when the person beside her seemed to fall silent, Bao'er assumed she had simply fallen asleep. Only later did she realize something was wrong...

“Huahua, I forgive you. Please don’t cry anymore. I’m not angry because you didn’t end up with my brother. I’m just angry that you lied to me. You got married. You told me everything.”

"Huahua, I'm really not angry anymore. Let's still be best friends from now on?"

“Huahua, please don’t like that country bumpkin anymore, okay? I want you to be with your brother… that way, the three of us can stay together forever.”

"Huahua? Huahua! Huahua...why aren't you saying anything?"

No matter how much Shen Bao'er called, Jiang Hua did not respond. She sensed something was wrong, reached out and touched the light switch on the wall, turned on the room light, and saw that Jiang Hua was pale with her eyes closed, her thick eyelashes wet with tears. Bao'er also felt that her chest was also wet with tears.

Huahua, she actually shed so many tears.

"Brother! Brother... come quickly!" Shen Bao'er didn't even have time to put on her shoes. Before she could run to Shen Yebai's room, she saw that he had already walked to the door. Before she could say anything, Shen Yebai had already entered Bao'er's room. He felt her pulse and could barely feel it.

Shen Yebai used to go to the countryside to help alleviate poverty and learned some medicine from the old Chinese medicine practitioners there.

"Go to her room and look for the medicine she always carries with her."

"Go quickly."

Shen Bao'er quickly realized what was happening and found the medicine Jiang Hua had put by the bedside. Shen Yebai glanced at the English instructions, poured out a few pills, and fed them to Jiang Hua. As he looked at the traces of tears on her face through his gentle and noble eyes, a layer of frost appeared on his body.

Bao'er quickly poured water and spent some time feeding her the medicine. When Jiang Hua did not wake up for a long time, Shen Yebai did not think much about it and simply picked her up and strode towards the outside.

"Brother, what's wrong with Huahua?"

Shen Yebai told her something that even Shen Bao'er found unbearable: "Heart disease."

A few minutes later, before the two could even change their clothes, Shen Yebai drove the car while Bao'er held Jiang Hua, who had fainted due to extreme emotional distress. She cried as she held her, crying all the way from Bai Ze to the hospital. In the full half hour, she shed more tears than Jiang Hua.

Jing'an Private Hospital.

Just as Jianghu was being taken into the operating room, a series of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. Shen Bulu, who had just finished a drinking session, arrived at the hospital and asked a question before finally seeing Shen Bao'er outside the operating room. He grabbed Shen Bao'er's shoulders and looked her up and down, checking her condition. "Where are you injured? Why are you at the hospital?"

"No...no, it wasn't me...it was...it was Huahua."

Shen Bao'er wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, as if she couldn't wipe them away no matter what she did. She cried and said to Shen Bulu, "Huahua fainted because of a heart condition. My brother and I brought her to the hospital."

Hearing this, Shen Bulu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something had happened to you."

Noticing the cold gaze from the side, Shen Bulu quickly withdrew his composure. "Brother-in-law, that's not what I meant."

"Don't worry, I know a lot of cardiologists, I'll call them over right now."

However, at that moment, seven doctors dressed in surgical gowns and wearing blue masks walked into the operating room. They looked aggressive, but little did anyone know that these seven foreign doctors were a top-notch medical team specializing in the treatment of heart diseases that Pei Zhan had contacted abroad.

They knew everything about Jiang Hua and were ready to handle any unexpected situations she might encounter.

Shen Bulu asked in confusion, "It was him?"

Shen Yebai: "You know him?"

Shen Bulu said, "This Miss Jiang has a heart condition. I previously helped her contact the top hospital team abroad that treats heart disease, and I also checked their information and saw a photo of one of the attending physicians, but I'm not sure if it's him."

"But their whereabouts are top secret, and I only found out by chance through other means."

"When we tried to contact them again later, we couldn't reach the intermediary."

"I never expected that they would be working at this private hospital in the capital."

"However, this is too much of a coincidence. Brother-in-law, do you know who the largest shareholder of this Jing'an private hospital is?"

Shen Yebai was worried about Jiang Hua's condition. His gaze was fixed on the red electronic display board indicating that surgery was in progress. He uttered two words in a low voice: "The Huo family."

Shen Bulu: "How did you know!"

Actually, all of this was foreshadowed and not hard to guess. Initially, the Jiang Group was targeted by the King Group under the Huo Group. Shen Yebai had already come up with a way to get the Jiang Group out of trouble, but he was a step too late. The Huo Group suddenly chose to reconcile. After that, the Huo Group continued to cooperate with the Jiang Group without any third party involved. They were involved not only in jewelry but also in the Jiang Group's real estate, internet, finance, and some heavy industry companies. The Jiang Group went from being on the verge of collapse to rising from the ground, making Jiang Weiguo the richest man in the capital city. Most of this was due to Pei Zhan's intervention. There were seven jewelry groups in the capital city that were better than the Jiang Group, so why did the Huo Group only choose the Jiang Group?

Aside from Pei Zhan's close relationship with the Huo family, Shen Yebai couldn't think of anyone else...

Shen Yebai could see through all of this, but the entire Jiang family had been kept in the dark all these years. It's clear that Huahua and Uncle Jiang had absolute trust in him, but Pei Zhan had betrayed that trust the Jiang family had placed in him.

Huahua's biggest taboo is being deceived or having things kept from her.

Pei Zhan made this fatal mistake.

"What's wrong with you? You stink!" Despite her tears, Shen Bao'er pushed him away in disgust. In front of Shen Yebai, Shen Bulu explained, "I arranged a meeting with the CEOs of several international banks. It was all about business, no... it wasn't a social gathering. Don't worry, it was a legitimate place, there were no women there."

"I didn't call you, how did you know I was here?"

Shen Bulu quietly pulled Shen Bao'er to a corner and explained to her, then affectionately wiped away her tears, "Are you hungry? I'll take you outside to get something to eat?"

"With your brother here, Miss Jiang is very lucky and nothing will happen to her."

"I don't want to go out with you, you'll bully me then."

"Ancestor!" Shen Bulu was so frightened that he quickly covered Shen Bao'er's mouth. "You can't say things like that."

Shen Yebai's gentle voice, as warm as a breeze, slowly rang out, "Don't ignore my words."

Shen Bulu: "Brother-in-law, Bao'er is just joking. Don't worry, we're very law-abiding and won't cause any deaths."

"You're talking nonsense. You said last time that you wanted to have a baby with me. I don't want to have a baby with you. You heartless scoundrel, go away. I'm going to wait here for Bao'er to come out." As she spoke, Shen Bao'er sneezed. Seeing this, Shen Bulu took off his royal blue suit jacket and covered her with it. "I don't want to wear your clothes. They stink."

"Little darling, it's better to die from the stench than to freeze to death."

As he spoke, Shen Bulu sat down on a chair with Shen Bao'er and waited. He noticed that Shen Yebai was only wearing pajamas. He had never seen his brother-in-law so unkempt before. Normally, a single glance from him was enough to make him tremble.

The hospital had air conditioning, but it was still a bit cold. Shen Bulu put his arm around Shen Bao'er's shoulder, pulling her closer to him, and held her chubby hand.

The operating room door wasn't opened until 3 a.m.

The attending physician came out of the operating room, removed his mask, and spoke to Shen Yebai in French about Jiang Hua's condition. A translator was also present. "The patient's previous medication needs to be changed to a new heart medication, but the first dose cannot be too much. It needs to be increased gradually to allow her to slowly adapt to the medication's effects. The prescription will be delivered to Ms. Jiang's ward in a little while. All you need to do is take good care of Ms. Jiang's emotional well-being."

"If there are no problems, please sign the treatment consent form."

Just as the translator was about to speak, Shen Yebai replied to the attending physician in equally attentive French, "How much longer will it take for her to wake up?"

"She's just overreacting. Once she calms down and wakes up from a nap, she'll be fine."

Shen Yebai nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

After the attending physician left, Shen Yebai turned around and found Shen Bao'er asleep on Shen Bulu's shoulder. Shen Bulu was still awake: "I'll take Bao'er back first, and then come back."

Shen Yebai: "No need. You take her to school tomorrow and make sure she's not late."

Xie Huai rushed over, carrying clothes that Shen Yebai needed to change into—several sets he usually wore. Seeing Shen Yebai walk past him with a bad expression, Xie Huai quickly followed and went upstairs to Jiang Hua's ward. The person in the bed was wearing an oxygen mask; only the sound of the heart monitor could let Shen Yebai know clearly that she was still alive…

"You...go and rest. I'll stay here and watch over Miss Jiang. Mr. Jiang doesn't know about Miss Jiang's return yet. If that person comes to you, they will definitely spread the news of Miss Jiang to the Jiang family."

Shen Yebai: "Then find someone to come and keep watch. No one is allowed to step into this place without my permission."

Xie Huai nodded: "Yes."

Fortunately, Jiang Hua was not seriously injured. She just slept for a while and woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the familiar ceiling above her head, Jiang Hua recalled how, when she was critically ill in the hospital and had no strength to move a single finger, she could only look at the ceiling above her head and draw the patterns on it with her eyes closed.

"Shen Yebai, you can't treat me like this! I'm your fiancée now!"

A roar came from outside, and Jiang Hua immediately recognized it as Ye Ying's voice.

Shen Yebai: "A week ago, I made it very clear that the marriage between the two families was not going to happen."

“If you keep making trouble, I don’t mind using other methods to take action against your Ye family.”

Ye Ying was stopped by two bodyguards: "You dare! Let me tell you, I'm going to marry you no matter what, and I'm going to pester you relentlessly."

Chen Yebai remained silent and composed.

He clearly didn't want to have too much to do with her.

The nurse rushed out of the ward, "Mr. Shen, Miss Jiang has woken up."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ying immediately frowned and burst into a tirade, "I knew it! You refused the marriage because of Jiang Hua! But she's already married, there's no way you two can be together! And I don't even mind that you have an illegitimate child, so why are you still keeping me at arm's length?"

Shen Yebai left without looking back and went into the ward.

Jiang Hua had already sat up, taken the medicine from the nurse, and took a sip of water from her cup.

The door was closed, and the sound was cut off.

Jiang Hua glanced indifferently at the tightly closed door. "Didn't she... hate you? Why is she so determined to marry you now?"

Shen Yebai sat down beside her and covered her with the blanket. "An accident."

It all started when Shen Yebai went to the bar to catch the disobedient Shen Bao'er. On the way there, she happened to run into Shen Yebai, who was arguing with someone. Ye Ying was a spoiled child with a history of numerous scandals. In order not to expose her own identity, she had no choice but to use Shen Yebai as a shield. Unexpectedly, just that one time, Ye Ying became completely attached to her.

Jiang Hua's face was still a little pale. She curled her lips and said with a smile, "You... she fell in love with you at first sight." Her tone was not a question but a statement of fact.

Not all love at first sight needs a conclusion.

"That's true. So many people like you. Ye Ying is indeed only suitable in terms of family background. In other aspects, she doesn't quite fit the type of person you like."

Shen Yebai took the water glass she had finished drinking from and looked at her. "What kind do you like?"

"Quiet? Dignified? Hmm... Well-educated and reasonable?" Jiang Hua saw other emotions in his eyes, just as she had imagined.

Shen Yebai: "I like it..."
