No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.
Chapter 338 "Zhou Yan, do you... have a powerful backer in the Huo family?"
Jiang Hua, one of the villa's waitresses, only then noticed that all the women who had been wearing bodysuits and had such graceful figures had changed back into normal clothes.
Jiang Hua returned to her room upstairs. Outside, a fierce wind was blowing, and she looked at her phone, which only had one signal, and couldn't even make a call...
The only thing that could entertain her was the piano on the second floor. As soon as Jiang Hua touched the piano and pressed a note, she could tell from the tone that it was not cheap. It was made of Steinway & Sons RedPops transparent crystal, and under the crystal chandelier overhead, it shone with the dazzling light of diamonds. Every key she pressed was melodious and pleasant.
Jiang Hua sat down at the piano and played one of the few pieces she could remember. She had played this piece countless times; it was once only for white hair, but now… someone had pieced it together into a complete song…
From the intro to the end, it lasted exactly five minutes and twenty seconds, not a minute more, not a minute less…
However, Jiang Hua's mood is always different each time she plays the piece. When she is happy, the music has a sweet, romantic feel to it, but when she is unhappy, the music carries a hint of regret and sadness.
When Pei Zhan returned, it was already very late, and Jiang Hua had already gone to sleep…
Emerging quietly from the bathroom, still damp and misty, Pei Zhan dried his hair, got into bed, and pulled Jiang Hua, who was sleeping on her side, into his arms. The shower gel he was using smelled the same as hers—a subtle fragrance with a hint of allure.
When Jiang Hua woke up, the spot next to her still held Pei Zhan's warmth; she remembered he had come back last night…
Such things, once or twice, are usually overlooked.
For the past three or four days, he has been elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Jiang Hua couldn't see him in the morning, and when he came back at night, she couldn't wait for him at all...
Even when asked, he would still answer, and after a while, Jiang Hua was starting to get impatient...
When he returned, the clothes he had changed out of carried a floral and woman's perfume scent; here... there was no shortage of women.
Jiang Hua locked the room last night and didn't let him in.
Jiang Hua woke up, threw off the covers, opened the door and left the room, just in time to meet the maid who came to deliver clothes. "Good morning, Madam."
Where is Pei Zhan?
"Mr. Pei just went out."
"These are your ironed clothes. If you're bored, Madam, you can go to the concert hall. There's a performance by the Royal Orchestra today..." Jiang Hua was glad that there was someone who could speak Chinese. Pei Zhan wasn't here, and she was unfamiliar with the place, so it was inconvenient for her to do anything. The other person had a mixed Chinese-American face, was tall, and looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. She had long black hair, wore a European-style long dress with a ruffled hem, and a white ruffled hat on her head.
Jiang Hua sneered, "Going out? Going out again! What is he busy with all day long!" Her voice rose several decibels towards the end, her temper clearly flaring.
The girl in front of him suddenly knelt down in fear and trepidation, saying, "I'm sorry, Madam, please calm down."
Jiang Hua was already used to seeing her suddenly kneel down. In the past few days, whenever she lost her temper, the servants around her felt that she was like a monster, and they all knelt down with their heads down, not daring to say a word.
"You treat everyone the same way?"
“Yes…yes…Madam.” Her voice trembled.
Jiang Hua found this place utterly boring and walked past her without saying a word.
The people downstairs stopped what they were doing when they saw Jiang Hua coming down from upstairs. They bowed their heads and greeted her respectfully, "Good morning, Madam."
"Madam, please have your meal!"
Aside from these greetings, they couldn't speak a single other Chinese word.
Jiang Hua glanced at the weather outside. The rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast. During this time, apart from the entertainment center in the center, which was a mixed bag of people and full of all kinds of transactions, she could only go to other places to pass the time.
A black sedan arrived to pick her up and take her to the concert hall, accompanied by a maid and her bodyguard...
The Lantern Festival is in three days, and they have already wasted too much time here.
Pei Zhan was as if he were dead.
Jiang Hua had no idea what he was busy with!
Most of the people who come here for leisure are billionaires from all over the world, with net worths exceeding tens of billions. They are all surrounded by beautiful women, each with a woman on one side or the other on the other...
Many men were immediately attracted to Jiang Hua upon first sight. They had never seen such a beautiful Chinese woman before, and they all wanted to ask her about the time of the transaction. However, before they could get close, the bodyguards of the Liasco Casino came out to warn them, and they had no choice but to give up.
There were others who wouldn't give up, wanting to get her time. When Kridan appeared and explained Jiang Hua's identity, they all looked at her with shocked eyes...
Only after that stunningly beautiful figure disappeared did the other person abandon that inappropriate thought…
Pei Zhan had been busy arranging the proposal venue. Everyone on site was in a flurry of activity. A huge white statue, symbolizing the ancient Greek goddess of love, was placed on both sides, and the surrounding area was filled with flowers, all of which were airlifted from other countries in the shortest possible time. Petals were scattered on the huge red carpet.
Kagel opened the prepared ring for Pei Zhan to inspect. After confirming that it was correct, he closed the ring box. "Seeing this, the young mistress will be very happy."
No woman dislikes a romantic proposal...
"Even if the young master only wanted to make up for the wedding that was never completed."
The wedding venue was set up on the island opposite the beach, and in addition to drones, there was also a fireworks show…
The fireworks here are the best in the country. It costs more than three million yuan to set them off in one minute, but they can last for seven days and seven nights.
"Hopefully...she'll like it..."
Just then, a servant stepped forward and handed Pei Zhan a USB drive. "Young master, as you instructed, go and find out the young mistress's favorite piece of music. This is a piano piece that the young mistress played for three hours last night. It has been modified so that there is no noise in it."
Pei Zhan: "Go and release it."
"Yes."
As the staff approached and inserted the USB drive into the speaker, the piano prelude began, a gentle and melodious tune, like that of a love story, flowing out. Everyone else was immersed in this beautiful piano music... except for Pei Zhan, whose eyes held a turbulent darkness, both gloomy and sharp...
"You mean she's been playing this piece all along?"
The maid nodded: "Yes, young master. You haven't been back for a while. The young mistress plays the piano every day, sometimes until very late."
"Change it for me!" The voice, tinged with hidden anger, immediately paused the music.
Such a beautiful piece of music was suddenly paused, and no one could figure out why.
But they had no choice but to obey his orders.
She has never forgotten Ji Liangchuan!
Then what did everything he did... mean?
Pei Zhan turned around and looked at the arranged proposal scene. The flower petals on the ground floated gently with the sea breeze, so beautiful that it was hard to look away. In fact, for the sake of this proposal, Pei Zhan forbade everyone to set foot here.
Even during the few days he wasn't by her side, she still thought about him.
Kagel hesitated, unable to find a good excuse for the future mistress of the Huo family. Seeing the darkening look in his eyes, which concealed disappointment and anger, he said in an attempt to dispel some of the negative emotions in the person in front of him, "Perhaps the young mistress is just... playing music to pass the time, and has no other intentions."
Kagel: "Besides playing the piano, what else has the young mistress done?"
Maid: "The young mistress didn't do anything. She just played the piano for two hours every day when she came home, and then went upstairs to rest."
Kagel: "And then...didn't you ask what the young master was doing?"
The maid said in a panic, "I did ask, but only once, and I never asked again."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a person dressed in a long maid's dress rushed over from not far away, lifting the hem of her dress, "Something terrible has happened... Young Master, you must go and see!"
"Miss Zhou is in trouble... Please go and save her."
Kagel: "Oh no, could it be that the young mistress has run into Miss Zhou Yan!"
What people fear most is that what they say will come true.
"What...what do you want to do! Jiang Hua, let me tell you, if you dare to mess around, I will never let you off."
Jiang Hua sat on the chair, legs crossed, looking at the face in front of her that she could hardly recognize as Zhou Yan. Who did it look like?
Like Song Qingran?
But it doesn't seem like...
However, it does bear some resemblance.
However, she is indeed much prettier than Zhou Yan's original appearance, with a more innocent look. "What a small world! Zhou Yan, I didn't expect to see you in Liasco. Aren't you... a very talented designer? How come... you've been reduced to selling your body to make a living?"
“Even if you’re short of money, you can’t date a man in his sixties.”
"You...aren't you disgusting!"
"Weren't you quite arrogant before? You wanted me to kneel down before you would spare the Jiang family..." Jiang Hua leaned lazily to one side, her hand supporting her chin, a cold and mocking smile in her eyes.
"I was wrong... I was wrong... Jiang Hua, please don't do this to me! None of this was my choice. Just forgive me... I'll do anything you ask." Zhou Yan clutched her chest tightly, curling up in the corner of the sofa. She trembled with fear as she watched six naked, strong men approach her.
"Wrong?" Jiang Hua laughed, her posture still haughty even though she was looking at Zhou Yan at the same level. "When you wanted me to kneel down and apologize to you, it wasn't like this..."
"You didn't do this when you wanted to bankrupt the Jiang family..."
"I never imagined that a jewelry designer recruited by the Huo Group would end up in an entertainment venue like this. Is serving men more lucrative than you earning at your job? I see you... are quite enjoying yourself while holding a man."
"How about this... anyway, sleeping with one person is the same as sleeping with... sleeping with six people is also the same..."
"Anyway... you're not at a loss, right..."
Jiang Hua said these words with a smile, but every word sounded like a desperate situation to Zhou Yan. For nearly a month, no one knew what she had gone through... Overnight, she was burdened with huge debts. She tried to escape, but in the end, she could only be caught and brought back to pay off her debts. Both her spirit and her body suffered tremendous blows. The once spirited and decisive Zhou Yan in the workplace seemed to have completely disappeared.
"No...I don't want to, don't...don't come any closer...please don't come any closer!"
"Don't touch me...none of you touch me!"
Zhou Yan was in a daze, looking as if she had really gone mad.
Is that not going to work?
Back when the Jiang Group was ruined and on the verge of collapse by Zhou Yan, with its stock plummeting and all the employees almost striking and causing trouble, Zhou Yan wasn't like she is now. Back then, when she relied on her status and reputation in the jewelry industry and used her circle of designers to boycott the Jiang Group and repeatedly put her father in the operating room, she wasn't like she is now... begging for her.
Jiang Hua took in everything she saw. "I just love watching you struggle like this, afraid, in pain..."
Outside the private room, several hurried footsteps were approaching.
Pei Zhan listened as Jiang Hua's voice slowly drifted in from inside...
This version of Jiang Hua had never felt so unfamiliar to Pei Zhan.
She's wicked to the core!
"Director Zhou, why don't you look up and take a look? These... I personally picked them out for you. Aren't they better looking than... that old man? They have great figures and good looks..."
"Kridan, how do you charge women here if they sleep with a man once?"
Kridan stood behind Jiang Hua and replied to her respectfully, "Young Madam... it's one thousand US dollars per minute."
"Hmm..." Her tone rose slightly, "This money is indeed earned much faster than if you were the design director at the Huo Group."
"I've never actually seen what it's like to watch other people have sex in front of me."
"When these videos are posted on the internet, I think... it will be more exciting than when I made my dad apologize to you and demand an explanation on a global live stream."
"You know... if everyone saw you being gang-raped by these men, the entire capital city would be in an uproar!"
Hearing these words, Zhou Yan seemed completely shocked: "No... I beg you, please don't do this to me!"
"I was wrong... I was so wrong! I was blind and ungrateful back then..."
"I...I'll kneel down and apologize to you."
"Please spare me."
Zhou Yan got off the sofa and tried to grab Jiang Hua's leg, but before she could get close, she was kicked away by the bodyguard. Her forehead hit the corner of the table, and blood immediately flowed from her forehead.
Jiang Hua remained completely unmoved, her current expression suggesting, "...What are you standing there for?"
"Now...she belongs to you."
So many people…
She...she's going to die!
Jiang Hua didn't intend to do anything serious; she just wanted to scare her.
It would also let her experience the despair that Jiang Shi felt when she had nowhere else to turn...
"Actually, I really don't know what kind of backing you have that could drive the Jiang family to such a desperate situation."
"Zhou Yan, do you... have any backing at the Huo family?"
Zhou Yan lay on the ground, now looking like a demon, her eyes filled with malice as she glared at her. "Jiang Hua! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"
"If I were still alive, I would repay you a thousandfold for the humiliation you suffered today..."
"I'll make you regret this!"
Who knew that Zhou Yan would suddenly act so violently? She abruptly stood up, grabbed a fruit knife from the table, and slashed her wrist hard…
His eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred...
"Is it fun?"
A figure strode in from outside, accompanied by a man's deep, angry voice, the tone of which was unreadable.
