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

"Mrs. Pei has always been beautiful."

rhetoric.

At this moment, at the Liasco Casino, Credan brought up the screen. A young girl with long golden hair, delicate features, and fair skin was sitting on Huo Tingshan. She had an angelic face and was feeding him grapes. The live broadcast was very grand and impressive. Due to the large number of viewers, the server could not handle the volume.

Now the whole world knows that the Huo family is getting married to the daughter of an unknown group in the capital.

The ring that represented the matriarch of the Huo family was on her hand. Huo Tingshan was not surprised. "I just need an heir. What he does is not important."

"Won't this displease the families who previously arranged marriages with the young master?"

"After all, this marriage was arranged on the day the young master was born."

Huo Tingshan: "Kridan, I've already said, this is his business."

"Yes, I understand, Master." Kridan nodded and left his sight.

However, soon after, bursts of soft, seductive moans could be heard.

The news of the marriage between the president of the Jiang Group and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family had already been revealed not long ago, so it wasn't exactly a secret. However, apart from their circle, the true appearance of this eldest daughter of the Jiang family had never been exposed to the outside world.

There are no photos of her online, not a single one has been leaked. Even the previous rumors about this heiress of the Jiang Group and the mayor of the capital city, which made headlines and appeared in newspapers, only showed a blurry silhouette. But even just a swaying figure from behind, it was easy to see how stunningly beautiful she was.

The president of the Jiang Group is just an ordinary person. What people don't know is that the Jiang Group's daughter married a man from a completely different social class. It's just unknown what this has to do with the Huo Group.

Most people simply thought that the cooperation between the Jiang family and the Huo family, and the Huo family's involvement, was a form of congratulations, and didn't think much of it.

The footage from that night quickly spread to the outside world, causing a great uproar. The same scene was displayed on the large screens in all the commercial plazas of the capital city. The only difference was that Jiang Hua's face was not shown in the footage, but the man's kneeling posture was clearly visible.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement: "Even if it's a proposal from a wealthy family like the Jiang family, which is a re-wedding ceremony, the ground should be covered with flowers and the surroundings should be very romantic. I didn't expect... it to be so down-to-earth. This young lady didn't even change her clothes before proposing like this."

"It seems that rich people are just like ordinary people!"

"The young lady thinks she's not beautiful enough? No way! Even without seeing her face, I can already picture her as someone even more beautiful than a celebrity."

"Exactly, even just looking at that single strand of hair makes me feel more refined than when I put on makeup for work every day."

"The nightgown she's wearing is worth three to five years' worth of my salary, Miss... Let's just say we shouldn't be picky. You're already very beautiful."

Jiang Weiguo learned about this at 11 p.m.

The study was dimly lit by a faint light.

"It seems that now you can completely hand over the young lady to this heir of the Huo family. Are you not happy to see this?"

Jiang Weiguo: "With Huahua completely unprepared, Pei Zhan suddenly proposed today, which clearly means something happened around him. My concern isn't whether Huahua can accept Pei Zhan's identity, but rather that Huahua knows Pei Zhan came to the Jiang family with the intention of avenging the Zhou family, and that he married her with a purpose. This is what worries me the most. I'm afraid Huahua... won't be able to handle it."

Jiang Weiguo had a premonition that he... couldn't hide it from everyone.

Wang Qi almost forgot that this hidden young master Pei's true identity was far more complex than they had imagined. From the very beginning, his purpose in approaching the young lady was to avenge the Zhou family.

Although it was Master Pei who seized the Jiang Group from the Wang family back then, he almost... could have completely destroyed the Jiang Group with just one word from him.

He secretly bought up all of Jiang's shares, becoming the person who secretly controlled the largest company. If it weren't for... the day when the young lady and Master Pei quarreled and had an unpleasant argument, Jiang Weiguo probably would never have found out.

Pei Zhan was cautious and shrewd, and he was afraid that there might be something else he didn't know about this time.

"Actually, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if you would like to hear it?"

There was still an lingering melancholy in Jiang Weiguo's eyes. "Tell me about it."

"If we wait until the day happens, we might as well tell Miss about Young Master Liangchuan. Back in Wuchuan, even though it was Young Master Liangchuan who replaced Master Pei, Miss's feelings for him over the years are still real."

"I believe that once Miss knows about Young Master Liangchuan, she may not care so much about the Zhou family's affairs, and her heart will be less saddened."

"But to do this, we need to keep it a secret from Master Pei."

"Even if the Zhou family's affairs will make the young lady sad, it's better to let Young Master Liangchuan continue to stay by her side, even if it's a mistake."

"I'm afraid Pei Zhan won't let him off so easily, and he certainly won't let him reappear in front of Hua Hua." Jiang Weiguo wasn't without his concerns.

Wang Qi said, "What if...the young lady threatens with her life?"

Jiang Weiguo's pupils contracted in a somber mood. Yes, this was also the part that gave him the biggest headache. "If it weren't for Ji Liangchuan taking Pei Zhan's place by Huahua's side in Wuchuan back then because of his own selfish reasons, so many things wouldn't have happened later."

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

"What we can think of, Pei Zhan may have thought of as well. Where are that mother and daughter from the Zhou family now?"

Wang Qi: "They are receiving mental illness treatment abroad, including Miss Zhou Yan. It's unlikely that these two will know about the wedding between Young Master Pei and Miss for the time being."

"However, I heard from over there that the Zhou family has also been placed under surveillance by Pei's men, and they will not be able to return without his permission."

Jiang Weiguo: "He's the best; he can keep it from Huahua for a lifetime."

"You should also have someone keep a close eye on them at all times, and meet their needs immediately if they have any."

Wang Qi: "Yes, sir."

"It seems you've truly forgotten the Zhou family, even abandoning your most beloved Zhou Xu. I really underestimated you. Song Qingran jumped off a building because of you and Jiang Hua, and you could remain unmoved. The heir of the Huo family... is indeed quite clever."

"Don't rush... this is just the beginning."

"Love? I'd like to see just how much you love each other." Xu Zhoulan, wearing a bathrobe, took a sip of the red wine in his glass and looked out at the skyscrapers and bright neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The lights were dazzling, but beneath such brilliance, there was always a beam of light that couldn't penetrate the dark and gloomy corners, peering at the person standing high above in the sunlight.

"What about her?"

The bodyguard behind him replied, "Miss Huo Ling will not be coming again. The master said that Miss Huo Ling is also a member of the Huo family, and he asked you not to harm her."

"He actually cares about an adopted daughter. It seems... she's done her fair share of pleasing Huo Tingshan over the years in the Huo family."

"Go and bring her back to me. You want to leave? I haven't agreed yet."

"Yes."

“No need…” Xu Zhoulan seemed to have thought of something else, a hint of a smile appearing in his charming eyes.

At first, Huo Ling wasn't very interested in Xu Zhoulan, but when she thought of the black-clad bodyguards from earlier that day, she felt that he was more than just the jewelry design director of the Jiang Group.

When she received Xu Zhoulan's information and eagerly opened it, there was nothing else about him except for some basic information. His parents' background and whether he was an orphan were also blank. The rest of the information was what Huo Ling already knew and was not of much use.

Seeing this, Huo Ling felt increasingly uneasy.

In all her life, Huo Ling had never regretted anything so much. If she had to say what she regretted, it would be knowing an old man like Xu Zhoulan, who was a madman.

A moody personality is not normal.

Huo Ling wasn't used to living in the university dormitory, so she stayed in the villa arranged by her older brother. A housekeeper would come over to cook during the day, and Huo Ling would be home alone at night. The documents in her hand were only a dozen minutes ago.

Wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt that just covered her hips, she sat on a rug on the floor in front of the tea table, holding a bag of potato chips and snacks. There was a pile of snacks in front of her, and the most classic horror movie was playing on the TV.

Just as she was looking at the documents and thinking about something, a black sedan suddenly stopped outside the villa.

However, Huo Ling did not notice that when the man got out of the car and walked into the gate, Xu Zhoulan was slightly surprised to see that the door was not locked. He easily pushed the door open, and the bodyguards behind him were all guarding outside the door.

Xu Zhoulan looked around at the villas, saw the television playing, and noticed the silent, steady footsteps approaching little by little, and the scattered papers on the ground...

Before seeing the girl, they heard her voice: "What! Just this little bit of stuff? But this old man, his childhood photo looks so much like a little girl, tsk... he's even prettier than a girl."

As she spoke, Huo Ling tossed all the documents aside. Just then, a piece of paper drifted by and was stepped on by Xu Zhoulan behind her. He bent down and picked it up. "Brother, how come I didn't know that little Ling'er was so interested in everything about your past?"

"Little Ling'er, are you investigating your brother?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Huo Ling wasn't frightened by the horror movie playing, but she was startled by the silent Xu Zhoulan. She immediately stood up and asked, "How did you get in?"

Seeing that he was still wearing a bathrobe and slippers, dressed like that, how did he come to see her?

“Little Ling’er didn’t close the door herself. Luckily… it was your brother who came. If it had been someone else, Little Ling’er would have been in danger and your brother would have been worried about you.”

Xu Zhoulan approached step by step, and helped her put the document she saw back in its original place. In addition, there were many photos of him when he was a child, including when he was young.

Huo Ling instinctively stepped back. This man had almost strangled her during the day; how could she possibly continue to spend time alone with him? She walked around the other side of the sofa and was about to run when, unsurprisingly, she saw the man in black blocking her way again at the door.

"Miss Huo, it's so late, it's not safe to go out."

Huo Ling was pushed inside, and the door was slammed shut. She looked impatiently at the person sitting on the sofa, "What exactly do you want!"

"I'm hungry, go cook." Xu Zhoulan sat in her seat like a king, legs crossed, watching the movie playing. "Do you usually like watching these kinds of things?"

"None of your business. Get out of my house right now, or I'll call the police."

Xu Zhoulan replied confidently, "Hmm."

Xu Zhoulan didn't take it seriously at all, but Huo Ling was really angry. She picked up the landline on the tea table and was about to dial the number when she found that she couldn't get through. "Little Ling'er, didn't you hear what your brother said?"

"If you don't want to cook... then keep your brother company and watch TV for a while." Xu Zhoulan's eyes were alluring and seductive as he patted the sofa next to him with a smile.

"It's settled then, get out of my house after you finish eating."

Xu Zhoulan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement in his expression.

The nanny bought a lot of ingredients during the day and cooked three dishes in the evening. There are still some ingredients left in the refrigerator.

Desperate to get rid of this plague as soon as possible, Huo Ling cursed under her breath, put on an apron, rolled up her sleeves, and began washing, chopping, and cooking the vegetables…

Xu Zhoulan looked at the photo on the table, as if it had stirred up memories from a long time ago.

"What kind of girl will our son, Alan, like when he grows up?"

"I like my mom like this."

"Mom...why have I never seen Dad? Where did he go? Does he not want us anymore?"

"No, our Alan is so well-behaved and obedient, just wait a little longer... your father will be back soon..."

Huo Ling suddenly smelled something burning in the kitchen. She turned around and saw that all the photos and documents on the tea table had been set on fire by the man with a metal lighter.

His eyes were cold and sinister like never before. The fire was almost burning him, but he didn't even try to dodge. Huo Ling was so frightened that she quickly went over and used water to put out the fire.

The smell of plastic and black smoke made Huo Ling cough several times. "Are you sick in the head?"

"Why are you setting a fire? Why don't you just burn your own house down?"

I was right after all; he really is a madman.

"Little Ling'er, are you so afraid of death?"

Huo Ling: "I'm afraid that if you burn this place down, you won't be able to afford to pay for it."

Huo Ling thought he was angry because she had investigated him, which was why he acted this way.

Forget it, she won't argue with a madman.

She'd have to clean up after it was burned; did she owe him something?

"Uncle, lift your foot up..." Huo Ling kicked his calf.
