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

"I'm in a rush for my performance today, and this is the only soup left downstairs." When Bai Rui said this, she didn't look at Jiang Hua. Even her hand, which was picking lotus seeds for Wen Qian, paused. Her evasive gaze made Jiang Hua a little confused. It seemed that she was afraid of something.

But just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

“Huahua…”

Hearing the voice behind her, Jiang Hua turned around and looked at the person who had come in. "Are you done?"

The moment Pei Zhan reached out his hand, Jiang Hua stepped forward and grasped it, "Mmm." Their hands, intertwined and tightly clasped, along with the silver watch on her wrist, caught Ji Liangchuan's eye.

"Go back? Or stay a little longer?"

"Go back now, I'm a little hungry. I'll come see you again next time..."

Jiang Hua watched as Wen Qian picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of lotus seeds. She tried to gauge his reaction, but Bai Rui stood up and blocked his path. "Let me see you off."

"No need, you have a baby in your belly, you can stay and take care of him."

Jiang Hua took over the task from Kagel and walked out of the ward. As they walked down the corridor, Kagel pressed the elevator button for the upper floor. "What did the doctor say?"

Kagel continued, "Young Master needs to stay in the hospital for observation. It might be a bit of a hassle for Young Madam to stay with him in the hospital for a while, probably only about a week. Once he's stabilized, everything will be fine."

Jiang Hua nodded and didn't say anything more.

Little did they know, when Jiang Hua left...

Bai Rui's heart, which had been pounding, gradually calmed down. She quickly grabbed a tissue and held it in her hand, trying to make him vomit up the lotus seeds he had just eaten. "Are you crazy? You know you're allergic. You'll get into trouble."

"Liangchuan, please vomit it up!"

"It's alright." Ji Liangchuan's voice was very soft, giving people a fragile feeling, as if he had been suffering from a long illness.

"Did you swallow it...? I'll go get a doctor for you right now."

Back upstairs, the maid had prepared a table full of dishes, mostly Jiang Hua's favorites. A bouquet of roses was placed in the middle of the table. Pei Zhan was changing his dressing in the room, while Jiang Hua waited for him outside.

Pei Zhan took off his hospital gown, revealing a strong physique with eight-pack abs. The scars from the car fire had healed somewhat from the gunshot wound on his chest.

"I don't want to see something like this happen again."

Kagel: "The young mistress shouldn't suspect anything. If she really did, she wouldn't have left without looking back."

"However, I will follow your instructions and ask Miss Bai to be careful."

Even if a person changes their appearance, it's hard to change their behavior and habits in life. Once is fine, but if there's a second time, a third time... and they slip up in front of the young mistress every time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. At that time... I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to handle.

Jiang Hua sat in front of the sofa, scrolling through her feed, and noticed that all the photos posted by the Shen family members seemed to have been deleted. When she checked her contacts' feeds again, the photo was indeed gone.

However, just then, Shen Bao'er sent her a message: "I really don't know what Great-Grandpa and the others are thinking. Why did they want her to come to our house? Huahua, do you think... Great-Grandpa and the others really want Xu Xiangjun to be my sister-in-law?" (She then added an angry emoji of hands on hips and stomping her feet.)

Jiang Hua edited and deleted the text, not knowing what to send her. She shouldn't interfere too much in the Shen family's affairs, let alone tell Xu Xiangjun what to do. Even if she had been raised by Shen Yebai, that was their private matter.

Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment, then spoke frankly: "Bao'er, this is your family's business. I shouldn't talk about these things behind your back. No matter what, these are Shen family matters, your brother's matters, and your matters. We are best friends, and it wouldn't be good if I said anything bad about anyone to you."

After sending the message, Jiang Hua regretted it somewhat, but she couldn't take it back now.

Seeing that the other party did not reply, Jiang Hua sent her another message: "I recently released some new bags. Do you want me to take them home?"

There are also many delicious foods.

Looking at Huahua's words, Shen Bao'er suddenly sighed and lost her spirits. Looking at Xu Xiangjun holding her child and chatting happily with the elders of the Shen family, she felt uncomfortable at all.

If Huahua were standing in front of her right now, Bao'er would be overjoyed.

She doesn't even like handbags anymore.

Bao'er looked worried: When are you coming back? Everyone said they'd come to my house for the New Year, but when I went to your house, Uncle Jiang wasn't home.

Jiang Hua: Let's wait a while. Have you eaten yet?

Bao'er: I have no appetite. Seeing how happy she is makes me unhappy at all; she got more red envelopes this year than I did. I'm so annoyed with her!!!

After sending the message, Bao'er looked up and met Xu Xiangjun's gaze. Seeing Bao'er looking at her with hostility, she handed the child in her arms to the maid beside her. Xu Xiangjun walked over to her and said, "I noticed you didn't eat much at the dinner table. Would you like me to cook you a bowl of noodles?"

"Who asked you to fawn over me? It's not like you're the only one who can have children. Once Huahua recovers, she'll have a baby too." Shen Bao'er saw her as if she saw Mu Shiyue. No! She hated her even more than Mu Shiyue.

If she hadn't been there in the first place, Huahua and her brother would have been together long ago.

It must be because of her that Huahua left.

Shen Bao'er was the apple of the eye of the entire Shen family, and her voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear. Shen Yebai, who was coming downstairs, heard her every word.

"What nonsense are you spouting again!" The tone didn't reveal any anger, as if it was just a symbolic reprimand to Bao'er.

Since Shen Yebai brought Xu Xiangjun to the Shen family's old house, Shen Bao'er has ignored him, and the relationship between the two siblings is in a state of cold war.

But Bao'er didn't see it that way. She just felt that Shen Yebai was being mean to her because of Xu Xiangjun.

Bao'er's eyes immediately reddened. Without saying a word to Shen Yebai, she walked past him and ran upstairs.

Xu Xiangjun stood there, somewhat at a loss.

When the old man in front of Shen Yebai saw Bao'er looking aggrieved and tearful, he said, "Go and see her. If she keeps getting angry like this, she'll start to feel resentful."

Feeling abandoned, Bao'er went back to her room upstairs, wiping away her tears sadly. "You all like her, so I won't stay here."

When the maid saw Shen Bao'er packing her things, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Bao'er, what are you doing!"

"Get out of my way! I don't need your help!"

"Young Master, Miss Bao'er, she..." The servant had no way to deal with her, and only when she saw the person who came did she ask for help.

Shen Yebai: "You can go out first."

"Yes, young master." The servant didn't forget to close the door before leaving.

Shen Yebai: "Where are we packing our things?"

Shen Bao'er: "I'm going to find my mom. You have your own baby now. Grandpa, Grandma, Great-Grandpa... they all revolve around that child. Nobody likes me anymore. Even Huahua... doesn't like talking to me anymore. What am I doing here? If my mom were home, she wouldn't treat me like this."

"Anyway, it's all your fault. No wonder Huahua doesn't like you. Who told you to have a baby with another woman? It's all because of you... that's why Huahua went to France to find that country bumpkin."

"You deserve it that Huahua doesn't want you."
