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

"Master!"

The manor lacked the medical facilities for major surgeries, so Kagel quickly called an ambulance…

Jiang Hua had no idea what had happened.

A sliver of dawn light shone through the heavy curtains on the horizon.

Looking at the time, I was surprised to find that I had already slept until ten o'clock. I propped myself up in bed, threw off the covers, and got out of bed barefoot. Stepping on the soft carpet, I didn't feel any cold at all.

Besides, Jiang Hua only then noticed that not only the entire room, but also the entire hall outside was covered with soft Persian carpets. When she stepped out of the room, she found the door open, but the bodyguards guarding the door were no longer there.

As she tried to walk out, she saw empty, retro European-style corridors filled with paintings by European masters.

When she came downstairs, a dozen or twenty servants were busy running around. It was the first time she had seen the layout of the villa downstairs. Jiang Hua didn't know how big this manor villa was. She couldn't see the boundary of the living room alone. She thought that the mansions in Jinsha Shallow Bay were already luxurious enough. This was at least equivalent to a dozen Jinsha Shallow Bays.

"Miss Jiang, you're awake?"

Upon seeing the person coming downstairs, the maid didn't need Jiang Hua to say a word; she simply placed slippers at Jiang Hua's feet. Seeing this, Jiang Hua had no choice but to put on the shoes. "Where is your master?"

Maid: "The master is not here."

"Please feel free to tell us what you need."

Jiang Hua stood on the ground floor, scanning everyone below. When they saw her, they all seemed to be afraid of her. They all stopped what they were doing, stood aside with their hands in front of them and their heads down, as if waiting for her to give orders. What kind of man-eating tiger was she?

"It's alright, you guys go about your business."

Just then, a black sedan stopped outside the door. The snow outside had not yet melted, leaving several tire tracks.

Jiang Hua slowly walked down the road. Another maid had already draped a shawl over her shoulders. Jiang Hua's gaze fell on the bodyguard getting out of the car, and her eyes held a hint of inquiry.

"Miss Jiang, the fish you requested last night has been delivered to you."

"Please wait a moment. The master instructed that someone must be able to taste the fish soup from Huajia's hometown before noon."

Jiang Hua was stunned; it was just a casual joke.

For some reason, she felt a slight sense of unease and fear...

In a private hospital.

The attending physician performed the surgery on Pei Zhan overnight. When he came out of the operating room, Huo Ling, who had been waiting outside all night, rushed forward and spoke to him in fluent French, "How is my brother now?"

The doctor removed his mask and said, "Mr. Pei's condition is not good. He should rest in bed and not walk around unnecessarily. The mechanical assistive device in his leg needs to be reinforced, and he will experience severe pain when he wakes up. If you want Mr. Pei to be able to walk normally again, please make sure that he follows the doctor's orders."

"okay, I get it."

Huo Ling's eyes were full of worry. She covered her face with her hands and said, "My brother is really something. Why can't he talk things over with his wife instead of hurting himself like this?"

"Kagel, we can't hide our brother's situation any longer." Huo Ling felt very uneasy seeing her brother in this state.

Kagel's face was extremely grave. "We'll have to wait for the young master to wake up before making a decision."

“But my brother’s condition is getting worse and worse. We can’t keep my sister-in-law locked up in the manor forever. If this goes on for too long, she will eventually become suspicious.”

Kagel said truthfully, "Young Master originally planned to reveal everything when he proposed to Young Madam again. Now is not the time. If Miss Huo Ling tells him now, it might disrupt Young Master's plans."

Huo Ling: "Let's wait until my brother wakes up before we talk about it."

In the morning, Jiang Hua strolled around the manor. When she first saw the manor villas across from the hotel, she had no idea they were so big. By the time she walked around on her own, her legs were a little sore. She had only explored about one-tenth of the manor's area.

The rest... it would take at least a week to see everything.

It's just too big.

Even if she wanted to run away, she would probably be caught and brought back before she even stepped out of that gate.

With two bodyguards following closely behind her, and seeing the seemingly endless road ahead, covered in sharp, uneven cobblestones, she became so angry that she turned and left.

Why build something so big out of the blue?

The snow on the roadside was swept clean. Back in the villa, Jiang Hua took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the carpet. Sitting on the sofa, she picked up the landline on the table and called the hotel butler. Soon, a male voice came through the intercom: "Hello, Ms. Jiang, how can I help you?"

"Who is the owner of the place I'm living in now?"

Butler: "I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, this is a guest's privacy and we cannot disclose that information."

She knew it.

"Miss Jiang, lunch is ready."

As the nanny brought the soup out of the kitchen, Jiang Hua smelled a familiar aroma of delicious food.

"Miss Jiang, as you instructed, this fish was airlifted overnight. As for the duck soup you wanted, it may have to wait until tonight, as it will take a long time to cook."

Jiang Hua tossed aside the remote control in her hand and stood up. "I have no appetite."

However, at that moment, someone exclaimed, "The master has returned!"

Jiang Hua turned around and quickly looked towards the door, where she saw a car with a gold emblem on the hood, signifying status and wealth.

The people who got out of the car were not surprised to see Jiang Hua; it was quite a large entourage.

All the servants stood in two neat rows.

When Huo Tingshan walked over, his gaze fell on Jiang Hua. "How have you been these past few months?" In just one month, the imposing aura of this middle-aged man had completely disappeared. Behind him stood a girl with a pure and innocent face, who looked to be in her early twenties. She was timid and reserved, and stood properly.

Jiang Hua gave him a cold look and said, "What do you want to do with me after you kidnapped me?"

Huo Tingshan: "I've said it before, you are the daughter of Qingcheng. As your mother was my former lover, I have an obligation to take care of you. Rather than letting you stay in the capital, I would prefer to see you under my nose."

"By the way, I heard your husband had an accident. Do you need my help?"

"If you want a divorce, could you consider my son? As the sole heir of the Huo family, even if I can't make up for what I did to your mother back then, letting you stay in the Huo family would be the result I want to see."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but laugh. "No, are all members of your Huo family as arrogant and self-righteous as you?"

“Mr. Huo, even if I get divorced, I could never fall in love with your son. I’ve said it before… I don’t like anyone in your Huo family.”

Huo Tingshan slowly walked past Jiang Hua and sat down at the table. The woman behind him also sat down next to him.

The servant quickly brought him another set of chopsticks and a bowl.

“It’s okay if you don’t like it. Feelings can be cultivated over time. That’s how it was with your mother and me.”

Jiang Hua: "Mr. Huo, I think I've made it very clear to you that my mother has never liked you. The only reason she agreed to get engaged to you back then was because of my grandfather."

Aside from Pei Zhan, this was the first time Jiang Hua had ever been speechless at someone like this.

He's practically delusional.

“My son met you last night, and he was very pleased with you.”

what?

Last night, the bodyguards suddenly tied her up, saying they were afraid she would disturb the guest, who turned out to be Huo Tingshan's son, the Huo family heir whom she had beaten up!

"It's crazy!"

Huo Tingshan took a bite of the food: "Authentic dishes from the capital city. I haven't been back for a long time. The taste is good."

He then added, "Speaking of him, you should have met him. I heard you beat him up at the Bai family's Wutong Mansion!"

Jiang Hua: It really is true that whatever comes to mind comes to pass.

"Yes, thanks to your Huo family, the Huo family has targeted the Jiang family quite a bit because of this matter."

Huo Tingshan said dismissively, "I've already sent people to investigate the King Group incident last time, and I've also helped you get revenge. I've already submitted a request to the HR department to terminate your contract. From now on, whether it's the design companies under the Huo Group or the entire international community, we've formed a joint blacklist."

"You should be satisfied with these now."

Jiang Hua exclaimed in surprise: "You fired Zhou Yan?"

Huo Tingshan: "I don't know her name, and not just anyone is worthy of my remembering her name. She offended you, which undoubtedly angered the Huo family, and this is just a small punishment for her."

His so-called "small punishment" was enough to blacklist Zhou Yan from the entire jewelry design industry, ruining her future.

Every jewelry company in the world is controlled by the Huo family. The Huo family's businesses have penetrated the world, and their daily profits are equivalent to the Jiang family's net income for three years.

The projects that the Huo family collaborated on with the Jiang family were just the tip of the iceberg.

“From now on, you are a member of the Huo family. In front of me, you don’t have to be reserved. You can say whatever you want and do whatever you want, just like your mother.”

This sentence seems to be an amazing reward for Jiang Hua.

Upon seeing them, Jiang Hua immediately whetted her appetite, saying, "I'm not interested in your Huo family. You can eat this yourself."

Jiang Hua turned and went upstairs. Huo Ling, who was hiding outside the door, saw Jiang Hua go upstairs and then sneaked in from outside the door. "Father."

Huo Tingshan: "Come and sit down."

Huo Ling: "Thank you, Father."

"How is your older brother?"

Huo Ling: "Big brother has woken up."

"If it weren't for Qingcheng's daughter, I wouldn't allow a woman to become a weakness that could threaten the Huo family's heir."

Huo Ling was still afraid of him. From childhood to adulthood, besides respecting Huo Tingshan, she was even more afraid of the powerful pressure emanating from him.

Back in her room, Jiang Hua felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about what happened last night; it was truly disgusting.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door. "Miss Jiang, the master has already left."

"Someone is looking for you."

Immediately, a familiar voice rang out, "Young Madam, I've come to pick you up."

Kagel?

Jiang Hua opened the room door.

"How did you know I was here?"

Kagel: "It's Mr. Huo who told you where you are. I've come to take you back."

Just as Jiang Hua was about to agree, she realized that Pei Zhan, who had lost his memory, already had Song Qingran by his side. What would she do if she went there now?

Are they just watching them show off their affection?

"Now that he's awake, he should have seen everything I asked Song Qingran to bring him. He should have also signed the divorce agreement."

“If I sign it, we will have no relationship whatsoever, and he will not need to concern himself with my affairs in the future.”

She prefers to stay here.

Just as Jiang Hua was about to close the door, Kagel stopped it with his hand. Little did he know that this action would aggravate his existing wound, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Despite the pain, Kagel spoke in a emotionless tone: "Then I can only apologize, young mistress."

"What are you going to do!"

Jiang Hua was carefully 'supported' by the bodyguards all the way to the car, and one of the maids thoughtfully brought her her coat.

The rear passenger door was closed.

Jiang Hua stared at the bodyguards at the door, who remained motionless like statues, showing no sign that she was being held hostage.

So she simply gave up struggling.

The car stopped at the hospital where I had been last time.

Kagel got out of the car and personally opened the rear passenger door. "Young Madam, please get out of the car!"

The thought of what she was about to see felt like a punch landing squarely on her chest.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything after getting out of the car.

She followed Kagel into the inpatient department, took the elevator, and walked through the disinfectant-filled corridor. The whole way was quiet, as if the entire floor had been reserved for her.

In France, renting an entire floor of hospital rooms is not cheap.

Where did Pei Zhan get so much money?

As Jiang Hua walked to the hospital entrance with her arms crossed, she suddenly heard a familiar, worried voice coming from the ward, "Mr. Pei, are you feeling better?"

"I made you some porridge."

Hearing the voices coming from the ward, Jiang Hua curled her lips in a sarcastic smile, "You brought me here just so I could see all this?"

"You're someone close to Pei Zhan. Can't you see who he loves?"

"Or... did you call me here today just to make things clear in front of Song Qingran?"

"Do you want to talk about divorce, or property division?"

"I think I have written everything clearly and explicitly in the divorce agreement."

“This…” Kagel explained, “I’m sorry, young mistress, I think there must be some misunderstanding.”

"We did not invite Miss Song here."

Jiang Hua was too lazy to waste another word on him. "That's enough! Whether he lives or dies is none of my business."

Having Song Qingran by his side is enough for him.

"Young Madam, you should go in and ask the young master for an explanation!"

Jiang Hua remained calm, without anger, but her eyes were filled with disappointment. "Kagher! Has Pei Zhan lost his memory or not?!"
