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

"You handle it yourself first."

Jiang Hua met Pei Zhan's gaze, and after he hung up the phone, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhan: "It's nothing. Kagel is looking for that vase you liked before, to see if he can find the same one."

Jiang Hua thought something was wrong, so she looked behind him and saw her father, who had left sometime earlier. She put her foot on Pei Zhan's chest and looked at him with icy questioning eyes, "Didn't you always hate my father? When did you start siding with him?"

"You actually conspired with Dad to lie to me!" She was angry, but she didn't dare to yell at Pei Zhan at home.

Who knows when her father will show up? If he sees her and says a few harsh words to Pei Zhan, he'll definitely scold her.

Pei Zhan held her bare feet, which were not wearing socks, and slowly lowered them from his body. He pulled a blanket from the side and covered her with it. Then he took a piece of cut fruit and fed it to her mouth. "Chairman Jiang is keeping things from you. She has her own ideas."

"Don't bring up my father for everything. I think you're just afraid I'll hurt Song Qingran. She really is capable. She casually saved someone, and that person is the powerful matriarch of the Huo family. If she wanted the Jiang family to drop the lawsuit, it would only take a word from the Huo family. But the Jiang family has a business relationship with the Huo family, so they can't make a scene. It seems like anyone related to her can always be taken care of." Jiang Hua sat up and gave Pei Zhan a dangerous smile: "The Jiang family has concerns about the Huo family, but... the Shen family doesn't."

"If it happens again, I'll have Ye Bai intervene."

"The Shen family doesn't need to be beholden to the Huo family." They also don't have many concerns.

Shen Ye Bai?

"When the time comes, if Song Qingran kneels before you, you must..." Jiang Hua poked Pei Zhan's chest with her finger, emphasizing each word, "Guard your heart, and never be soft-hearted."

Pei Zhan narrowed his eyes and grabbed Jiang Hua's wrist, pulling her into his arms. Jiang Hua noticed the servants' gazes all looking in her direction. Feeling uncomfortable, she tried to push Pei Zhan away, saying, "What are you doing? I'm warning you, let go of me."

“You don’t need to keep testing me with Song Qingran’s matter, but Mrs. Pei… if you dare to make any deal with Shen Yebai, I’ll kill you!”

The threatening words he uttered held absolutely no threat for her; they sounded more like a joke. "Ha, you're threatening me now?"

Instead, they mocked him, saying, "With your mediocre skills, don't embarrass yourself."

“Huahua! No matter how much kindness Song Qingran has shown her, that kindness will eventually be exhausted. Only if they make another mistake will there be a chance to send them back in.”

Pei Zhan was right. "Song Qingran is so cunning, didn't you see that? Her tears are so valuable, she can get so many people to help her just by crying. Pei Zhan... count how many times this has happened?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about it... If I keep going, it'll make it seem like I'm targeting him."

"It's just that people are lucky and have many benefactors around them."

"Boring!"

As she spoke, Jiang Hua got up from the man. "I'm going shopping with Bao'er later, you don't need to come with us."

"You should find something to do yourself. Seeing you so often is really annoying."

Xu Qiulan then walked over and said, "Miss, what should we do with these flowers? They'll spoil if left out too long."

"Throw them all away. The vase is broken. What's the point of keeping them?"

Jiang Hua's liking for something depends entirely on her mood. She originally wanted these flowers because she still had her favorite vase at home. Now that the vase is gone, these flowers are like a pile of trash in Jiang Hua's eyes.

Seeing Jiang Hua's low spirits, she didn't even glance at the man beside her when she left.

The Shen family came to pick her up, and Jiang Hua sat in the back passenger seat next to Bao'er.

When the servants were about to deal with the flowers, Pei Zhan had them all move them to the empty spare storage room at the back of the villa. He then ordered people to move the flowers that had not yet been dealt with to that empty table.

Pei Zhan just received a call from Kagel, and the two communicated in French, which the servants couldn't understand.

Kagel: "I'm sorry, young master. We... couldn't find out the other party's origins, but the recording on the plane did show that someone received an order to turn the plane back. When we landed at the airport and checked the surveillance footage, we found that all the footage had been destroyed, and even the bodyguards around Madam were all sent back to their home countries. They were all secretly taken care of as soon as they landed."

“We investigated the vehicles involved along the way, but one of them had been destroyed, which seemed like a premeditated attack on the Madam. The only strange thing is that.”

"Apart from a cut on her cheek, the lady is otherwise unharmed."

"The injuries are too severe, and he has a concussion with serious underlying conditions. If the surgery is unsuccessful, he is very likely to fall into a coma."

"In addition, there are some suspicious people among the servants around the lady."

Pei Zhan: "Speak."

"I suspect she's the young mistress."

Pei Zhan cut off the withered flower branch and removed the excess leaves, then said in a gentle tone, "It can't be her. If it really were Jiang Hua, she would only take revenge on the spot. She would disdain these sneaky methods."

Kagel nodded: "I think so too. With the young mistress's temper, she will vent her unhappiness in the moment and won't hold it in for too long."

Pei Zhan: "Tell Huo Tingshan to handle it himself."

After all, it concerns the Huo family's reputation, and Huo Tingshan wouldn't ignore it.

Kagel replied, "Yes, young master."

One side is his biological mother, and the other is his wife. Pei Zhan can only let Jiang Hua handle these matters herself. But how to handle them, what she does, and to what extent she succeeds—Pei Zhan can't favor either side. It's better to let Huo Tingshan manage it personally…

All Pei Zhan could do was try to prevent them from seeing each other again.

After Pei Zhan dealt with the flowers, he saw a series of large-amount transaction records popping up on his phone.

In less than fifteen minutes, they deducted all of his meager savings, leaving him with only seventeen yuan. Then, at the very last second, even that remaining seventeen yuan was wiped out.

Salesperson: "Ms. Jiang, the balance on your card has been completely depleted. It may not be enough. You will need to make a prepayment of 300,000 yuan."

Bao'er, standing beside her, said with some disdain, "Huahua... that country bumpkin is so poor, how did he raise you? Humph... we won't spend his money, we'll spend mine... I have money."

Shen Bao'er handed over the bank card.

The clerk suddenly said, "This... I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, I must have made a mistake. Your bank card still has a balance, that's enough."

"Here is your receipt. Please sign here!"

Jiang Hua frowned. "You still have money?"

"Look, how much is left?"

"There are still... about 80 million left."

Looking at the astonishing figure, the sales clerk felt nothing but envy. These young ladies were simply outrageously extravagant; did they just grow their money on trees?

Shen Bao'er silently put her bank card back. "Huahua, I don't have much money left in my card. My brother is restricting my spending every day, so I only have a balance of about 200,000 yuan a day."

As if to vent her anger, Jiang Hua took the bank card from the teller and handed it directly to Shen Bao'er, saying, "Spend...spend as much as you want, we'll go back when we've spent it all."

"This... Huahua, it's too much, we can't possibly spend it all."

Jiang Hua narrowed her eyes, as if she had thought of something. Even Bao'er could see through her smile; she was up to no good.

"Then let's go somewhere else."

Jiang Hua suggested changing locations, and we arrived at the First City Under Heaven. The casinos here are all legal and compliant, and are legitimate businesses.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the manager was quite surprised. "Miss Jiang, welcome! Are you here to have some fun today?"

"Five million...give me a table."

"this…"

“Miss Jiang, please don’t make things difficult for us. Chairman Jiang warned us before that if we let you come, your father… won’t let us off the hook. And… there’s also Miss Shen… what if… she manages to shut us down one day? I’d have a hard time explaining it to the general manager, wouldn’t I?”

"How about you go to the beauty center on the sixteenth floor for a skincare treatment? We'll cover all your expenses for today, how about that!"

Jiang Hua crossed her arms. "You're going to cover everything? Do you think... I'm short of your money?"

"Just drive it, stop talking nonsense!"

The other party smiled ingratiatingly, "How about I ask our general manager? If he agrees, I'll have someone prepare a table for the two young ladies. Consider it an entertainment for you."

Jiang Hua: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go."

"Yes Yes Yes…"

Yang Liu quickly went to a private room, which was filled with smoke. Sitting on the sofa were several well-known shareholders of real estate companies, all dressed in suits and ties and with some overweight men in their arms.

Sitting to the side, a fierce-looking middle-aged man in a dark suit, holding a woman in his arms, was chatting and laughing with others. When the person who came in appeared, he whispered something in the man's ear, and the casino's general manager's expression changed. He immediately stood up and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhu, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll go and take care of it first. You guys have fun."

He hurriedly went outside, saying, "Why are these two bastards here?"

Yang Liu frowned and said, "This... I don't know either."

"Don't argue, let me make a phone call and ask."

Jiang Hua was only nineteen years old when she came here once, but the incident didn't go well. She lost money at the casino and couldn't pay it back. A reckless guy took a liking to her and made her take off her clothes in front of everyone to pay off her debt.

Back then, who knew... she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang Group?

Just a few seconds ago, this young lady had taken off one piece of clothing, not even revealing an arm. When the Huo family found out, they sent everyone in the casino to prison overnight. They were sentenced to more than ten years and are still not out.

Later, they heard rumors from those people that this eldest daughter of the Jiang family was the proprietress of the First City Under Heaven.

When the original supervisor found out, he almost wet his pants on the spot…

The fact that the man was allowed to take off his clothes is a testament to his good fortune; he was lucky not to be executed.

Without the previous wave of personnel changes, Ma Qianfeng is no longer fit to be the general manager of this large casino.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so apprehensive when they saw Jiang Hua.

Ma Qianfeng called Huo Qin's cell phone, who was playing billiards at the moment. "If she wants to play, let her play. The First City Under Heaven will be hers in the future. Can you stop her?"

"Tell the people around you to keep an eye on this person, so they don't get upset and cause a repeat of what happened last time. If they do, we'll send you inside for a chat."

Ma Qianfeng: "Yes, yes, Mr. Huo, what do you think... should we tell that family head?"

"This is our first time hosting such an important person. Do you think there's anything we should be careful about so as not to upset Mrs. Huo?"

Huo Qin lay on the pool table, glanced at his cell phone lying to the side, which was connected to a call, and laughed sarcastically, "The way you usually flatter me is how you try to please this mistress."

"By the way, be careful... the mistress has a bad temper."

They can't contact the main family, and as collateral branches, they can't contact them either. The Huo family's collateral branches can't participate in or interfere with the main family's business. The businesses they've managed in half of the capital city over the years were given to them by the main family because they didn't want them; otherwise, they wouldn't even have the right to touch them.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Ma Qianfeng had already heard about this lady; she was notoriously difficult to deal with.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and invite this ancestor inside."

Jiang Hua didn't understand these things. She had been here once when she was nineteen, and lost all her money. She ended up in a rather embarrassing situation, unable to pay back her debts. Her phone was also dead, and she was even asked to take off her clothes in public.

Fortunately, when she was in a sorry state, Pei Zhan came over and paid back the money she owed before leaving.

My luck was terrible back then; I lost everything I played. Now…

Jiang Hua felt like she had been tricked, winning every game she played.

In the end, all the wives at her table lost all their money. She had three million chips, but she won ten times that amount, making thirty million.

Ma Qianfeng stood behind her with a forced smile, replying, "Miss, you have such good luck."

"They won so much in one go."

At the same time, he cautiously observed Jiang Hua's expression, thinking she would be happy, but unexpectedly, this young lady looked displeased...

In the private room of Xiangweiju, Song Qingran sat in front of him, too nervous to speak.

They haven't eaten together alone in a long time.

She looked at him timidly and asked, "Mr. Pei, is there something you need from me?"

She learned about Jiang Hua's activities at the casino from Kagel's report.

Upon seeing the incoming call, Pei Zhan stood up and answered the phone in front of the French windows. "It's rare that she would think of going to the casino to earn some money."

Kagel: "I think the young lady isn't happy about winning money; she seems... a little angry about not losing any."

Pei Zhan recalled Jiang Hua's expression when she left, "If she wants to lose, then let her lose."

"Do whatever she wants, just go along with her, don't make her angry."

"Yes, Master."

Song Qingran vaguely heard something too!

A greedy glint appeared in her eyes as she watched his retreating figure. Her hand clenched tightly under the table, her nails digging into her palm…

When Ma Qianfeng received the news, the dealer also put pressure on him. Jiang Hua's wife, who was having fun with her, was already unhappy and almost overturned the table.

The dealer dealt the cards, and Jiang Hua finally lost her first sum of money.

Pei Zhan's bank card balance was completely drained in just a few minutes, used as a bargaining chip by Jiang Hua.

Pei Zhan had just hung up when he received the call a second later. It was Mrs. Pei, who rarely called him on her own initiative...
