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

In the quiet room, Pei Zhan's phone rang in his suit pocket. Seeing the incoming call number, the man pressed the button and answered, "Mr. Pei, your adoptive mother's condition has stabilized recently. However, she drove out without permission last time. I hope nothing else happened. Our hospital is not responsible for injuries or deaths caused to pedestrians by mentally ill patients. Please be aware of this."

"If you have time, you can come to the hospital in person. If you haven't harmed anyone, you should be able to be discharged after a while."

Pei Zhan: "Okay, I understand."

The moment the call ended, Pei Zhan stroked the ring on his hand, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

As the competition approached, Jiang Hua earned credits through other extracurricular activities such as piano and cello competitions, even though she had already made it clear that she would not participate in the actual competition.

Several days passed in a flash. On her way home from get out of class, Jiang Hua encountered A Yuan, who had come looking for her.

Since they had some free time, the three of them went to Xiangweiju for a meal.

Jiang Hua ordered two of her favorite dishes, and also some delicate little desserts that A Yuan liked…

"Wow, these cakes are so beautiful, thank you, sister."

Jiang Hua stroked the little girl's hair, "A-Yuan, if you like it, eat more."

"it is good."

Halfway through his meal, Wen Huaishi received a call from the hospital. "...I understand, I'll be right there."

"The hospital called for emergency surgery, and I need to go back immediately. I'm sorry, but today..."

Jiang Hua immediately stood up, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and said, "It's okay, it's a matter of life and death, you should go back to the hospital."

"Don't waste your time."

"Take A-Yuan with you, I'll pay the bill."

As he spoke, Wen Huaishi took out a black leather wallet from his pocket and handed it to A Yuan, saying, "A Yuan."

"Okay, Daddy." A-Yuan wiggled her little bottom, got off the chair, and ran quickly to the cashier on the first floor. "Sister, how much is it? My dad will pay."

Wen Huaishi came downstairs with a white coat draped over his arm and casually said to Jiang Hua, "I'll go get the car."

"Okay, I'll take A-Yuan there in a bit."

Jiang Hua walked to the cashier, squatted down and helped A Yuan straighten her clothes, "Run slowly, be careful not to fall."

"Pretty sister, can you have dinner with me and Dad again next time? A-Yuan likes to eat with pretty sister." Jiang Hua tapped her tender little face. "Of course you can. As long as A-Yuan has time, sister can have dinner with A-Yuan anytime."

Jiang Hua didn't think much of what the little girl said, after all, she was just a child, and assumed it was just a normal meal.

"But A-Yuan has to be good and not disturb your dad. Let him work in peace. You can't run around in the hospital either, understand?"

"Know it."

"Ms. Jiang, here is the bill and your card. The total cost for this transaction is 723 yuan. Welcome to come again next time."

Jiang Hua has been to Xiangweiju many times, and most of the waiters here know her; she's a regular customer.

Jiang Hua stood up and took the bank card. Just as she was about to put the card into Wen Huaishi's wallet, she suddenly saw a photo in the wallet. The woman in the photo was wearing a blue cheongsam and had a gentle and elegant face. She was also very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were exactly the same as A Yuan's. It seemed that A Yuan's eyes were inherited from her mother.

After putting the bank card away, Jiang Hua returned the wallet. "Come on, I'll take you to find your dad."

Wen Huaishi first took Jiang Hua to her apartment before going to the hospital.

By the time I arrived at the apartment building, it was already getting dark.

Just then, Jiang Hua's phone rang. She answered it, and Xu Ma's urgent voice came through, "Miss, please come back quickly."

"Sir, I received a document today. He looks terrible and hasn't eaten all day."

Jiang Hua said worriedly, "I'll be right back."

what exactly is it?

Jiang Hua returned to the Jiang family villa in Yulong Bay, which was brightly lit, like a crystal castle.

Jiang Hua stepped into the entrance hall, not yet having caught her breath.

Jiang Weiguo leaned on the sofa armrest, stood up, and said in a neutral tone, "Come to the study with me."

They went upstairs one after the other.

As soon as she entered the study, before she could even close the door, Jiang Hua was suddenly slapped across the face. "Kneel down!"

Jiang Hua's face was slapped to the side, and five finger marks immediately swelled up on her face.

The butler, Wang Qi, had already closed the study door.

Pei Zhan was also stopped at the door by Wang Qi, and silently shook his head.

The sound was cut off the moment the door to the study closed.

Jiang Hua knelt on the ground, and Jiang Weiguo picked up a stack of photos from the table and threw them directly at Jiang Hua's face. "Look at the mess you've made! I sent you back to school so that you could get your graduation certificate and naturally go to the company to help Pei Zhan, not so that you could find me another son-in-law!"

"You and this man had a secret rendezvous, and someone took these photos and sent them to our home. If they were to be shown to the media, wouldn't you be utterly disgracing the Jiang family?"

"How can you do this to Pei Zhan!"

Jiang Hua looked at the photos on the ground. They were all of her and Wen Huaishi appearing on campus, walking together, eating together, and last time... Wen Huaishi grabbed her hand and checked on her by the roadside to see if she had bumped into anything.

The scattered photos on the ground, each one, really do look like a couple in love.

But... Jiang Hua didn't expect that her father wouldn't give her a chance to explain before beating and scolding her.

Jiang Hua lowered her gaze, feeling the numb pain on her face, and calmly said only one sentence, "Is Pei Zhan more important than me?"

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain before you attacked me. What kind of person are you?"

Seeing her stubbornness, Jiang Weiguo's hands trembled with anger. "What else do you want to explain? These photos are the best explanation. Huahua, you're not a child anymore. It's not like before, where as long as you didn't do anything outrageous, Dad would turn a blind eye. From childhood to adulthood, Dad would buy you any toys you wanted. But once you got them, you didn't cherish them anymore. You would just throw them aside and ignore them. You're fickle and like one after another."

"Before Pei Zhan, how many boyfriends did you date?"

"I thought... you would be able to restrain yourself after marrying Pei Zhan, but I didn't expect you to be so incorrigible!"

“In the past, your father could help you sort things out, but things are different now!”

“The Jiang family needs Pei Zhan’s support now. Dad’s health is not good, and I don’t know how many more years he can hold on, or how long he can stay by your side.”

"Before I die, what I want to see most is you and Pei Zhan being loving and having a child, so that you will have someone to rely on in the future. Do you understand?"

Jiang Hua, her eyes red, looked up, her voice choked with emotion, "...Why does the company have to have Pei Zhan? Why can't it be someone else?"

"If one day he doesn't want me anymore and kicks me aside, hasn't Dad thought about the consequences?"

Jiang Weiguo said, "So you should have a child to inherit everything from the Jiang family. Even after I pass away, I can entrust everything from the Jiang family to you and Pei Zhan with peace of mind."

Jiang Hua's voice choked with emotion, "Is the company that important to you?"
