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

Does it matter whether someone is the heir or not?

Pei Zhan didn't covet everything the Huo family brought her. If the status of Huo's heir could be a condition for her to rely on and keep her by his side, what difference would it make if she were exposed?

Xia He's actions do not represent his intentions. The reason Pei Zhan stood by and tolerated Jiang Hua's behavior today was to make her feel better. Holding in anger is bad for her health.

If she had behaved herself, she could have lived a carefree life as Mrs. Huo. Now she deserves what she has suffered, and it will also teach her a lesson.

Kagel: "It seems that from now on, the Huo family may not be under your control, young master."

Throughout the history of the Huo family, the authority of the head of the family has always been inviolable for the ten generations of heirs. There has never been a situation where the head of the family was overshadowed by the mistress of the house. The matriarchs of the Huo family in each generation were strictly selected. Their background was not important, but they had to abide by the rules of the Huo family as the mistress of the house, obey the head of the family, and do what the mistress of the house should do.

They are all gentle and dignified in nature...

This was the first time Kagel had ever seen a matriarch with such an outspoken personality; she was truly unique.

In Chinese parlance, the behavior of the young master and his wife would be considered a sign of henpecked husbands.

In the video footage, Jiang Hua's nonchalant yet provocative voice can be heard: "Your Huo family thinks you're superior, trespassing on private property and causing my father to have a heart attack and be hospitalized."

"The reason Huo Tingshan married you and put you in this position is simply because he thinks you're easy to manipulate. You actually think highly of yourself?"

"Tell me... if I were to tell Huo Tingshan everything you said to my father, do you think he would kick you out of the Huo family and strip you of your title?"

Jiang Hua had no idea what she had said to her father that caused his illness to relapse. It was most likely related to her mother, otherwise her father wouldn't have had such a strong emotional fluctuation.

Huo Tingshan has never forgotten his mother all these years. If Xia He dares to say anything that insults his mother, given Huo Tingshan's disregard for Xia He, he will most likely teach her a lesson.

“Only someone who’s dead can make him so hung up on things. You’re just like your mother, taking yourself too seriously. Let me tell you, my son is the heir to the Huo family, and no matter what happens to me, my position will not be shaken in the slightest.”

"But you and your father, relying on your deceased mother, have reaped so much benefit from the Huo family. You're the richest man in the capital, but that's all thanks to the Huo family."

"Without the Huo family, the Jiang family is nothing but a disorganized mess."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you even deserve to be compared to my mother?"

"You're just lucky. If you hadn't met Huo Tingshan, you'd probably still be farming in some rural village. You're just a country bumpkin. Have you been living a good life for too long and forgotten your original lowly and despicable status?"

"So what if you're the heir to the Huo family? No matter how glamorous you dress yourself up, it doesn't change the fact that you were born into a lowly family."

Hearing the young mistress's fierce response, I couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration. When it came to cursing, the young mistress never seemed to lose.

As the heir to the Huo family business, the young master wasn't angry at all.

Beneath her feet lay a scene of ruins, with expensive porcelain shards crunching under her feet as she approached Xia He step by step.

Xia He took a few steps back in fear. "Jiang Hua, I advise you not to do anything reckless, lest you do something you'll regret."

"Even if you kneel on the ground and beg me, I will not forgive you in the slightest."

Jiang Hua: "Please?"

"I think you're delusional!"

"This ornament must be expensive. I remember seeing mine last time; it was designed by a top European designer, featuring the Azure Coral Sea, and was worth over 60 million... Now it's priceless, probably several hundred million..."

Aunt Zhong: "Miss Jiang, this is Madam's favorite decoration. If you don't stop now, you'll regret what you're doing later."

Do you know who the Huo family heir is?

"he is…"

Just as Aunt Zhong was about to blurt it out, Xia He stopped her, saying, "Let her smash it. One day, she'll be kneeling on the ground begging me."

'Crack!' The last expensive ornament shattered.

Xia He's favorite coral reef was broken, and her face was extremely ugly. She felt that Xia He was really taking advantage of Pei Zhan's indulgence and had become lawless. She looked at Xia He with an icy gaze.

Jiang Hua smiled calmly, "I'm looking forward to it too, really looking forward to it... How do you want me to beg you?"

"Xia He, you better remember this: even if my mother is dead, you have no right to compare yourself to her. Even if the Huo family is gone, the Jiang family can still continue to exist."

“What kind of lowly heir could a person like you, with filthy blood flowing through your veins, possibly produce? Huo Tingshan must be blind to have let your son be the heir.”

Even if a pheasant were to grow feathers, it would never become a phoenix; a pheasant is still a pheasant…

"Despicable, filthy, and base!"

Every word she uttered landed on Xia He, making her so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She glared at her resentfully, her thin body swaying precariously as she clutched her chest and gasped for breath. Seeing her staggering figure, the servants quickly steadied her.

Jiang Hua turned and left without looking at her again.

Outside the gate, the red sedan had a damaged front end and was emitting white smoke. The servants were dealing with the wrecked car until the familiar black Rolls-Royce came to a steady stop in front of Jiang Hua. Kagel stepped forward and opened the car door. "Young Madam, please get in."

"I will handle the rest."

Jiang Hua got into the car, and Pei Zhan put down the tablet in his hand and said, "Drive."

"Relieved?"

Jiang Hua: "Was it effective in relieving my anger?"

"Does feeling relieved mean you can pretend none of this ever happened?"

Pei Zhan held her wrist and looked at her bloodshot palm. He could tell that she had swung the club with considerable force. "If it weren't for Dad, you would really think I cared about the Huo family's investments! The Jiang family has been thriving for so many years without the Jiang family."

"Now you want the Huo family to get even more involved?"

"The Jiang family doesn't owe the Huo family anything. Why is she here to criticize our Jiang family? She likes Xia He so much, why doesn't she let her son marry Song Qingran instead?"

What are you doing? You're hurting me.

Pei Zhan: "I'll be gentle."

...

Xia He sat on the sofa, and the maid hurriedly cleaned up the crumbs and trash on the floor.

"Why just you? Where's Pei Zhan?"

"Judging from his appearance just now, he should see for himself who has bewitched him."

Kagel stood aside and began to narrate in a calm tone: "Madam said some offensive things to the deceased Miss Qingcheng. Has Madam forgotten?" As he spoke, Kagel took out a USB drive and placed it in front of Xia He. "If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. Madam thought she had done it perfectly, but in the end, Jiang Weiguo still caught her red-handed."

"Madam, what do you think would happen if these backed-up video and audio recordings reached the master's ears?"

“Madam… spoke rudely, saying things that a matriarch of the Huo family should not have said. Your actions are not those of a matriarch of the Huo family.”

“The master doesn’t care about you, nor does he allow the madam to do whatever she wants to the Jiang family in the capital.”

"You know Miss Qingcheng's position in the master's heart."

A flicker of panic crossed Xia He's eyes. Jiang Weiguo actually had these backups. She was angry and resentful, but she gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger. "Yes, I didn't think things through this time."

Ultimately, she was still afraid.

Xia He understood that no matter how much Huo Tingshan messed around outside, those women were just playthings for his amusement. But Jiang Qingcheng was different. Even if she died, she would still hold a unique place in his heart.

She just couldn't stand that a dead person was still being remembered by her husband for so many years.

Even her own son protected everyone in the Jiang family.

He was always going against her.

Kagel: "Madam, you understand."

"Young Master means that it is not suitable for Madam to continue staying in the capital. An hour ago, Young Master arranged a plane ticket for you to France. When you arrive there, someone will pick you up and take you back."

"He wants to kick me out!" Xia He was incredulous at the news.

Kagel calmly said, "Madam, don't you understand? The young master's actions in protecting the young mistress were all personally approved by him, and it was also to teach you a lesson. If you cause trouble again and the young master dislikes you, he, as the heir of the Huo family, will take back all your authority in the Huo family."

"Without the young master's protection, you will find it even more difficult to move forward in the Huo family."

"Even if you don't like the young mistress, you should stay away from everything in the capital. That way, you won't lose what you deserve."

"If the young master really hardens his heart, the madam will only regret it later."

Xia He had no other choice.

The only thing she didn't expect was that his son would protect Jiang Hua to such an extent.

When the car arrived, Xia He had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, standing outside the door, she looked at the person behind her with a cold smile, "Sooner or later, he will regret it."

"There's no need for you to trouble yourself, Madam."

After Xia He left, and after the bodyguards confirmed that she had boarded the plane, it took off.

Kagel then reported all this news to Pei Zhan.

At Yulong Bay, Jiang Hua doesn't usually exercise much, so she's slender and can't gain weight no matter how much she eats. Pei Zhan's arms are three times as thick as hers. He used so much force just now, and now his wrist and his entire arm are twisted. Even lifting them slightly hurts terribly.

Pei Zhan helped her wipe it with safflower oil.

Now, apart from Xu Ma, no one dares to step forward and serve this young lady.

The entire Jiang family seemed to have returned to the atmosphere of the past, when they were always on edge and cautious.

When Jiang Weiguo returned, he smelled a strong safflower oil as soon as he stepped into the hall. "What happened? Are you injured?"

"It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle by accident," Jiang Hua said, pretending that nothing was wrong.

Jiang Weiguo: "I heard from Aunt Xu that you drove out for a while. Where did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere, just drove around randomly to get familiar with the area."

"Now, Xintian is becoming less and less embarrassed to lie in front of his father."

"If you don't believe me, ask Pei Zhan." Jiang Hua glared at him, as if warning him not to talk nonsense. In her father's eyes, he believed whatever he said, even more than his own daughter.

Pei Zhan merely glanced at her, his face expressionless and devoid of much emotion, before responding with a simple murmur.

Jiang Weiguo subtly noticed the strange emotions emanating from him. "Huahua, go upstairs and get that coat from Dad's closet."

Aunt Xu stepped forward and said, "I'll go."

"That dress was bought by Qingcheng back then. I've kept it all this time, but only Huahua knows where it is."

“I know, I’ll go.” Jiang Hua knew that her father was a sentimental person. More than 20 years ago, her mother bought him a lot of clothes, but he never wore them and kept them carefully. Moreover, the brands of the clothes he wore were all chosen by her mother, and he had never changed to other brands over the years.

In order to be able to wear clothes from more than 20 years ago, Jiang Weiguo also maintains the figure he had when he was young, for fear that he won't be able to fit into them or that they won't fit properly.

Jiang Hua went upstairs, where the clothes in the hidden wardrobe were all neatly folded. Next to them were clothes her mother wore when she was young, kept as they were. Over time, her father would wash them, dry them, and put them back in their original places.

In the lobby downstairs, Jiang Weiguo waved his hand, and the servants around him consciously stepped aside. "Huahua went to see Xia He, and I know she said some unpleasant things that made you feel uncomfortable."

Pei Zhan: "Chairman Jiang, you're overthinking it."

Jiang Weiguo: "You can think of it this way: more than anyone else, I hope that Huahua can finally settle down and be with you."

"This is my choice, because only you can protect her for the rest of her life."

"Xia He is able to act with impunity because of her status as the matriarch of the Huo family. I hope that Hua Hua will also be able to live a peaceful and prosperous life like your mother because of the status you have given her."

"Of course, all of this is on the condition that you still love Huahua. If... one day you lose your feelings for Huahua and get tired of this marriage, I hope you won't hurt her."

Pei Zhan: "That day will never come."

Jiang Weiguo: "People's hearts are ever-changing, and no one can be certain of anything."

“When the day comes that you and Huahua divorce, I hope you can be honest and tell Huahua that Ji Liangchuan is still alive. Without you, I don’t want Huahua to be too lonely.”

Tell her... Wen Qian is Ji Liangchuan...

Pei Zhan looked at Jiang Weiguo, his eyes flashing with a cold light. In just a moment, his aura began to change. "Chairman Jiang, are you threatening me?"

“I just feel that Huahua needs someone to rely on to move forward. Although Ji Liangchuan is not as powerful or influential as you, at least... he is the one who accompanies Huahua and grows up with her.”

"Since you've chosen to hide it and not reveal that you were the one in Wuchuan back then, you might as well continue down this path and never let Huahua know."

"I don't want you to be like Huo Tingshan, bewitched by other women, and for Huahua to become like him, insecure and anxious."

Jiang Hua came down the stairs just in time to hear these words: "Dad... what are you saying to Pei Zhan!"
