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

"Forgot everything from the past."

"Amnesia?"

During the nearly one month that Pei Zhan lost his memory, Song Qingran did not return to school. She even ignored the association's studio and risked not graduating to stay by Pei Zhan's side in France.

But that makes sense. Even if she can't achieve it, someone will help her realize her so-called dream...

Pei Zhan is omnipotent; if Song Qingran wants it, what can't he do!

Hasn't Pei Zhan done enough for her?

For Song Qingran, he was even willing to destroy the Jiang family, just to be with her.

They stayed together through thick and thin. No matter what happened in the past month, their feelings for each other were enough to escalate to the point of being head over heels in love.

Moved by her actions, Pei Zhan... and all men are most susceptible to this kind of thing.

In the end... the two were able to fall in love like they did in their previous life, get married and have children, and then divorce her at all costs after returning.

Their current relationship is just as she expected. Jiang Hua said calmly, "It's fine. Anyway, Dad knew about their relationship a long time ago. Now that they've gotten married, Dad... has no choice but to accept this result."

She finally got her wish and divorced him...

Shen Yebai: "Uncle Jiang doesn't know yet, it was you who sent Song Qingran abroad."

Jiang Hua: "The process is not important. They have known each other for longer than I have. With so many years of accumulated feelings, it's only a matter of time before they get together."

Shen Yebai seized on the loophole in Jiang Hua's words and asked the question that had been on his mind all along: "Why... are you so sure that they will be together?"

The hand under the table clenched tightly, nails digging into the palm, a sharp pain shooting through her heart. "I told you before that I had a dream. If those dreams I had of yours were things that actually happened to me, would you... believe me?"

"Why don't you believe me? I only know that something must have happened to you, otherwise you wouldn't have changed your personality so easily." In just under two years, Jiang Hua is only twenty-two or twenty-three years old now. At this age, she can still be a little more willful and spoiled than before. No matter what trouble she gets into, he has the ability to clean up the mess for her.

Jiang Hua was only eighteen years old when she punched the son of the president of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce at her coming-of-age banquet. In the end, it was only through Shen Yebai's personal intervention that the matter was resolved. Jiang Hua was unaware of this at the time because Shen Yebai was about to leave the capital to take up a job in Haishi in the same year that she had the incident. Otherwise, her uncle would not have been able to resolve the matter so smoothly.

"If it's really as you say, and everything in the dream actually happened, then what... what was I doing at that time?"

“Back then…” Jiang Hua looked out the window at the falling snowflakes, “You were having a terrible time. You even married Mu Shiyue, and Bao’er also married Duan Qingfeng and was bullied terribly. But she didn’t dare tell you and could only cry secretly by herself.”

Shen Yebai: "And you?"

"Are you doing well?" That last question was what Shen Yebai really wanted to know. "Are you happy being with him...?"

Growing up, no one had ever cared whether she was happy or not. The moment Shen Yebai said those words, Jiang Hua's eyes reddened slightly. "Does my happiness matter to you?"

What if I said it was important?

Jiang Hua was only stunned for a moment. When she turned to look at him, she said in a joking tone, "What I just told you was all a lie. How could you be so easily fooled?"

For the first time, Shen Yebai took her hand. His hand was soft and fair, not rough at all. It felt warm and cozy in his palm. "Then keep lying and stay by my side."

Noticing the unwavering answer in his eyes, Jiang Hua's gaze flickered slightly before slowly lowering, a shadow falling over her eyes. Looking at her hand being held, she seemed to accept Shen Yebai's touch without feeling any aversion. "I'm not divorced yet. I lost three children in an accident, and I may never be able to have any more children of my own. You know I have a heart condition, and I don't know how much longer I have to live."

“Even if you don’t care, your Shen family will never allow us to be together.”

When the two families broke off the engagement, the Shen family gave the Jiang family a lot of face. My father also knew that Jiang Hua was not suitable to be restricted by rules and regulations, not to mention Jiang Hua's health... So when my father went to the Shen family to cancel the arranged marriage, the Shen family did not say anything, but gave a lot of compensation.

"I told you this before."

"I... am not good enough for you."

"As long as... you're willing, you don't have to do anything. Just leave everything to me."

Those in high positions bow their heads, let alone someone as favored as Shen Yebai. No one could resist his advances, because for her, Shen Yebai was indeed the best choice.

Jiang Hua slowly tightened her grip and pulled her hand out of his palm. "I'm sorry, I can't agree."

Jiang Hua has always been confident and outspoken, never timid about anything, and would never utter such humble words. However... she was facing Shen Yebai, and even the status and power of the entire Shen family. In the face of all this, she was far too insignificant. Shen Yebai was brilliant and unattainable, and the person who was with him should be a good match for him.

At least your life is spotless, without a blemish, like a blank sheet of paper that has never been written on, clean and pure...

I am now a complete mess, except for being covered in stains.

"Dad should have received the news that Pei Zhan has woken up. I think... it's about time for me to go back too."

"It's getting late, get some rest, goodnight."

She ran away; she refused!

Simply because he deserves better…

Shen Yebai, I won't live much longer!

I shouldn't have... delayed you...

In her past life, she didn't live past forty. If she can't escape this life, even if they're together, if she dies in the future, he'll only be sad and heartbroken. In the future... he still has decades to meet someone better than her.

The moonlight was as black as ink.

It was snowing heavily, and in no time, a layer of snow had covered the ground.

The footsteps landed, leaving a footprint.

"Shen Bulu, do you think Huahua will agree to be with her brother?"

At 9:30 p.m., Shen Bao'er and Shen Bulu walked hand in hand back to the Baize Villa. Bao'er was being led by one hand, while she caught snowflakes in her other hand. The icy snowflakes melted in her palm in no time.

“Even if you don’t agree, at least you’ve said it. Some things… if you don’t say them, you’ll never have a chance.” Shen Bulu looked at the light not far ahead and stopped. The two faced each other, and he reached out to brush the snowflakes off her head. “When you go back, pay attention to your brother’s expression. Don’t rush to ask. If he scolds you when you get back, it means they’re not together. At that point… apologize, then go back upstairs. Don’t go up there and upset your brother.”

She is naive and innocent, lacking social skills, and only acts according to her temper. If anyone makes her unhappy, she will either physically attack them or verbally abuse them.

However… she also has the resources to back her up, as the Shen family is not the only one behind her.

“Okay.” Shen Bao’er still hoped that her brother and Huahua would be together. In fact, she heard it from Shen Bulu, who said that Pei Zhan might be with another woman and that he didn’t want Huahua.

Huahua doesn't care for someone who's so fickle.

In that case, my brother has a chance.

The weather forecast says it will snow tonight. The book says that if you confess your feelings to someone you like while it's snowing, you're guaranteed to succeed.

"Give me a kiss!" Shen Bulu leaned down in front of her and touched her stunningly handsome face with his well-defined index finger.

Shen Bao'er laughed and reached out to rub his face. "Dream on, let's go home." She turned and ran away quickly.

Shen Bao'er walked into the villa, closed the door, and hung the black scarf around her neck on the coat rack. "Brother, where is Huahua?"

"Get some rest." Shen Yebai went back upstairs.

Shen Bao'er looked at her brother's back and sighed. It seemed that her brother had failed.

She turned around and saw Shen Bulu still standing outside the French windows. He was tall and wore a black coat, standing in the snow. Looking into his captivating eyes for too long, Bao'er sometimes felt she couldn't help but blush. She bit her lip and quickly looked away. He really did seem... better looking than Duan Qingfeng, and he wasn't so bad after all...

Huahua doesn't want to be with her brother. Is it because... Huahua likes Shen Bulu, so she doesn't agree to be with her brother?

Because Huahua had said before that she loved Shen Bulu so much that she was willing to die for him.

Shen Bao'er realized the seriousness of the situation, frowned, took out her phone, and deleted him without hesitation. If Huahua liked him and he could make her happy, then she should be with him.

Every time Bao'er was with him, it was always in secret. Hua Hua was already very sad, and she couldn't let her be sad any longer.

Shen Bulu took out his phone, typed a message in the chat box of the contact whose nickname was "Baby," and sent it. The moment he sent it, it turned into a red exclamation mark.

Shen Bulu: "..."

After returning to her room, Shen Bao'er took a shower and lay down to rest. She tossed and turned on the big bed, unable to fall asleep, because she felt guilty and thought she had let Hua Hua down by taking away the person she liked.

She didn't know how to face Huahua...

Whenever she thought about it, she remembered how Shen Bulu would do bad things to her when she was distracted by other things, and how he would laugh when he succeeded, making her heart beat faster for no reason.

She seems to have developed a crush on Shen Bulu...

But when she thought of Huahua, and cried in her arms that night, Bao'er felt her own heart ache too.

Jiang Hua thought Bao'er wasn't going to sleep with her anymore. Usually, the first thing Bao'er would do when she came back was to come to her room and warm the bed for her.

Just then, hearing the sound of the door lock being pressed down outside, Bao'er groped her way in, then lay down next to Huahua and hugged her.

"Huahua, I don't like Shen Bulu anymore, please don't be sad!"

Jiang Hua: "Why? Did you two have a fight?"

"No." Bao'er's voice sounded somewhat sullen as she hugged Jiang Hua.

"Baby, I'm going home tomorrow."

"Go home? Why? Is it because of your brother? If you don't like your brother, that's okay, you can stay here! I don't want you to leave."

Over the past month, Bao'er has gotten used to it. Whenever Jiang Hua comes back from Baize, the first thing Bao'er does is cling to her and want to talk to her.

“I can’t leave Dad home alone. If you miss me, you can come to see me when you have time, or… I can come to see you when I have time.”

"Okay." Bao'er hugged Jiang Hua even tighter, reluctant to let her go.

As the first rays of dawn touched the snow, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Jiang Hua got up very early. She went downstairs and saw the person sitting on the sofa. When she stepped down the last step, her eyes were complicated and she seemed to want to say something but couldn't. Even though there was a distance between them, Jiang Hua could feel a subtle atmosphere between them.

"morning."

"Have breakfast first, and then I'll take you home."

Jiang Hua did not refuse.

When he got up and sat down at the dining table, Jiang Hua sat next to him. The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention what happened yesterday.

"What are you planning to do next?"

Jiang Hua: "I don't know, let's take it one step at a time."

Once Pei Zhan recovers from his injuries, he will return with Song Qingran. Even if he has forgotten, the past can never be fully explained, and there is also the Jiang family... He cannot simply ignore them.

Before going back, Jiang Hua went to the mall. Since she was going to pretend that she had just returned from abroad, she should bring some things back with her.

Xie Huai drove the car, and when they arrived outside the mall, Jiang Hua, who had been silent the whole way, finally spoke to her for the first time: "You...go back. I've already contacted Uncle Wang, and he'll come to pick me up in a bit."

"it is good."

Jiang Hua turned and walked into the mall, unaware that several pairs of eyes were watching her from the shadows. Jiang Hua also sensed something was wrong, but when she turned around, she found nothing behind her.

When she arrived at the luxury boutique upstairs, intending to pick out a watch, the store manager smiled and said, "Ms. Jiang, we have received several new bags, all reserved just for you. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"also."

Jiang Hua followed her to a separate counter; there was no one else in the store at that moment.

"Ms. Jiang, please sit on the sofa for a while and have some water. I'll go get your bag."

"Hmm." Jiang Hua crossed her legs, flipped through the latest magazines in the store, and drank water, not noticing anything unusual. It wasn't until a while later that she realized something was wrong. The next second... she suddenly felt her brain start spinning, and within moments, she had fainted and lost consciousness.

Huo Ling, who was hiding in the shadows, quickly ran out, picked up Jiang Hua, and said with some complaints, "Sister-in-law... you really can stand being home alone."

Inside a huge private jet, furnished like a hotel room, Huo Ling carefully laid the unconscious Jiang Hua on the bed, and the private doctor first examined her.

"The young mistress's health is perfectly normal."

"I understand, you can leave now."

By the time the effects of the medicine wear off, they should be almost there...

Huo Ling sat on the edge of the bed, feeling somewhat guilty. She apologized and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. These weren't my ideas. When you wake up... don't blame me."
