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

This Miss Jiang doesn't seem fake, and besides, she wouldn't joke about company matters. Could she really be trying to use this method to keep President Pei at Jiang's to help the Jiang family manage the company, so that she and Ji Liangchuan can be together without any scruples?

No, is this young lady really out of her mind, or is she pretending not to know? Doesn't she know that President Pei stayed at Jiang's Corporation, taking the lowest executive president salary, just for her sake?

Over the years, countless listed multinational companies have extended olive branches, offering the most generous conditions and resources, trying to poach him from the Jiang family, but President Pei has remained unmoved.

Now that the Jiang family is putting on this show, I wonder who they're trying to impress.

It seems they really have gone mad!

Zuo Xiangnan wanted to report this to President Pei, but the phone calls went unanswered, so she had to send a message and an email instead.

The two receptionists sat facing the lobby. The man, dressed in a white t-shirt and black casual trousers, was swooning over a woman, looking like a gentleman. "Right? He's so handsome! I wonder which department he applied for. I wish I could see him more often."

"Yes! But I still think our CEO Pei is the most handsome. Not only is he good-looking, but his temperament is also exceptional."

"Even if I don't sleep, I can't bear to close my eyes when I lie in the same bed with him every night and look at him all night."

When Jiang Hua left the Jiang Group, the receptionist saw her coming down from the elevator and immediately went on high alert, standing at attention with trepidation, "...Miss, please take care."

Jiang Hua exuded an air of aloof indifference, but upon seeing the person beside her, her expression softened slightly. "You can just wait for me in the car."

Ji Liangchuan lowered his crossed legs and stood up. "All done?"

“Mm.” Jiang Hua stepped forward and naturally took his arm.

The two receptionists were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

"What... what's going on? If I hadn't acted quickly, that man just now shouldn't have been President Pei, right?"

"Yes...yes, yes! Weren't President Pei and Miss supposed to be having a second wedding? How come Miss has changed partners so quickly now?"

"Pinch me right now, am I dreaming?"

The two were still in shock when they saw the luxury car drive away outside the gate of the Jiang Group.

Inside the photography studio, the manager introduced the dress to Jiang Hua: "Miss, you can take a look. This is our SJ True Love series wedding dress. It's currently the only limited edition wedding dress on the market, a unique design. I wonder which one you've taken a fancy to?"

Jiang Hua came to her senses. These wedding dresses might not be a hundred times more expensive than the ones Pei Zhan had given her, but it was her own decision, and she didn't want to be too perfunctory. "Which one do you... think looks better?" she asked Ji Liangchuan beside her.

You look beautiful in anything.

“Your husband is right. You are so beautiful, you look good in anything. You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen.”

I want to try them all.

Ji Liangchuan: "Okay. Let's take it slow, no rush."

Jiang Hua changed into three white wedding dresses before finally settling on this strapless gown. The white tulle was covered with countless tiny diamonds, a total of 9,990. The light from the luxurious crystal chandelier shone on her, making the diamonds sparkle and giving Jiang Hua an ethereal beauty, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

The shop assistants all stared at her in astonishment, exclaiming, "She's so beautiful!"

"Sir, are you sure you want to choose this one?"

"Swipe the card." Ji Liangchuan took out a bank card from his wallet.

Jiang Hua: "Let me do it."

Ji Liangchuan: "From now on, you are my wife. No one should make their wife pay."

"Don't worry about me, I have my own savings." Over the years, Ji Liangchuan has written many songs, and the royalties he receives each year are substantial, enough to provide her with the best material conditions.

Makeup, photoshoot... Jiang Hua cooperated fully with the entire process, but so far they've only taken one set of wedding photos because they don't have much time left. The wedding is in a month, and the guest list for the invitations needs to be rewritten...

Fortunately, the previous ones hadn't been sent out yet, otherwise, changing the person at the last minute would have caused quite a stir.

However, they also reduced the number of people invited, including those who had business dealings with the Jiang family and his maternal grandfather's side. In total, there were no more than fifty people.

As dusk fell, Jiang Hua dragged her weary body back to Yulong Bay. She had the sign at the entrance taken down. The court-ordered divorce would take almost half a month, or at the latest a month. However, that month would coincide with the day of her wedding with Ji Liangchuan.

Everything related to Pei Zhan was completely erased, as if things had returned to normal.

Although she and Pei Zhan were already married, he never wanted to step into Yulong Bay. Even during holidays, including New Year's Eve dinner, it was just her and her father. During that time, he would always find various excuses, such as business trips or overtime work...

During this time, her father seemed to have accepted the fact that Ji Liangchuan had returned, slowly letting go of his prejudice against him, and also began to be more considerate of her feelings.

For the sake of their child, she and Ji Liangchuan followed traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, drinking the best Chinese medicine every day to regulate their bodies, and carefully preparing every meal.

It's only been a year...it'll be over quickly.

In fact, Jiang Hua is a picky eater, but in order to take care of her health, she started eating a combination of foods she disliked the most. Normally, in order to control her figure, she would only eat half a bowl, but now, in order to force herself to eat, she ate a bowl and a half. Even if she couldn't eat anymore, she had to endure the nausea in her stomach and force herself to eat it.

In the master bedroom, Xu Qiulan carried the brewed Chinese medicine upstairs. In just a short while, the unpleasant smell of the Chinese medicine masked the scent of roses in the room.

“Miss, why are you making things difficult for yourself? Even if you don’t have a child, the master won’t say anything.”

Jiang Hua swallowed all the medicine in one gulp, but after a short while, she felt her stomach churning and quickly ran into the bathroom, where she vomited it all up by the toilet.

Xu Qiulan couldn't bear to watch this scene and patted her back, "Miss, please don't torture yourself anymore."

Jiang Hua vomited everything up. "Go and brew another bowl."

"Miss..."

Didn't you hear what I said?

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Jiang Hua looked at herself in the mirror. Because of vomiting, her eyes were full of tears, and the corners of her eyes were red. She looked pale and haggard, giving people a sense of brokenness that she could pass away at any moment.

The study was brightly lit by a crystal chandelier, and there was an underlying sense of oppressive pressure.

This is the first time Ji Liangchuan has come to Jiang Weiguo's study in so many years. The last time Ji Liangchuan was in the study was when Jiang Weiguo was about to send him abroad into exile. But now... he has returned after so many years, and he is no longer the same as he was back then.

After making his decision, Jiang Weiguo ultimately compromised for his daughter's sake. He took out several contracts from the safe and said, "I don't know how much you've accomplished abroad over the years."

"Back then, the Jiang family was in dire straits. If I hadn't married Huahua to Pei Zhan, the Jiang family might have been lost much earlier."

“Now that you’re back, Huahua’s heart is still with you, so show me some results.”

"I will arrange a vice president position for you in the company. These contracts are some of the most important core projects between Jiang's Group and other companies. Now all that's left is for the other companies to sign them. Your job is to get them to sign them. After that, you will be in charge of following up on the project."

"After this is over, it will be considered your performance, so I can have an explanation to the other shareholders."

"The remaining uncles and elders are the veterans who stood on the Jiang family's side back then. We should learn something from them."

"Only then will you have the ability to live a good life with Huahua."

“Huahua spends money extravagantly and has all sorts of expensive medicines. No matter how much money she has, it will eventually run out.”

"Not to mention, you also want a child..."

"Consider these as what I'm leaving for you so that the Jiang family's future bloodline may continue."

Ji Liangchuan accepted the order with a heavy heart, "Dad, this time, I won't let you down."

Jiang Weiguo didn't want to say anything more and silently waved his hand.

Ji Liangchuan nodded, then turned and left the study.

After leaving the room, I saw Xu Qiulan coming out of Jiang Hua's room with a worried expression. "Aunt Xu, what happened to Huahua?"

"The young lady just vomited, she's fine."

Ignoring everything else, Ji Liangchuan walked into Jiang Hua's room, put down the documents in his hand, found her in the bathroom, knelt down in front of her, and cupped her face. Cold sweat beaded on Jiang Hua's forehead, wetting her hair. Ji Liangchuan's hands trembled as he gently smoothed the hair behind her ear, his eyes filled with heartache. "It's okay, it's okay even if we don't have the child."

"Let's not drink this medicine, okay?"

Jiang Hua felt weak all over and leaned against Ji Liangchuan, her voice a little weak, "I'm fine."

"It'll be fine after a while."

Ji Liangchuan shifted slightly, letting her lean quietly against his shoulder, gently stroking her hair. "I'll carry you to bed."

Ji Liangchuan picked her up, lifted the blanket, and made her sit against the headboard. Then he poured her a glass of water and told her to drink it slowly.

Jiang Hua noticed several documents placed beside her dressing table. "What are those?"

"It's Dad. He's put me in charge of several project documents. He plans to make me the vice president, which means he'll have me involved in the Jiang family's business."

Jiang Hua: "That's great!"

Ji Liangchuan's eyes shone with a gentle smile. "Thank you. It's because of you that my father is willing to accept me again."

"This time, I will not choose to run away again. I swear... I will do everything I can to give you everything you want."

"This time... we will never be apart again."

Ji Liangchuan put his arm around Jiang Hua's shoulder, letting her lean against his chest. Jiang Hua could clearly hear the steady and strong heartbeat pounding in his chest. She didn't respond, only remained silent. She knew she couldn't be greedy anymore; everything was already the best for her.

...

The next day, when all the invitations from the Jiang family were delivered to Bai Ze, Shen Bao'er was so shocked she couldn't speak. "Brother, isn't Huahua going to marry that country bumpkin? Look at the invitations, the names on the wedding invitations are Huahua and Ji Liangchuan."

"Brother, Ji Liangchuan is back."

Unfolding the gold-embossed invitation in front of him, Shen Yebai ate his breakfast slowly and calmly, his expression indifferent, as if it were something he had expected.

"How could this happen! I need to go to Yulong Bay to find Huahua and ask her for the answers."

Ji Liangchuan's ability to escape the Huo family's surveillance and return to China quietly is inseparable from Shen Yebai's efforts. The Huo family may be influential abroad, but in the capital, they are now under his absolute control. No matter what the Pei family is like, their reach cannot extend that far. Moreover, he is not the only one scheming against him... Let's see if he can withstand the machinations of so many people.

Shen Yebai didn't know who the mysterious person was, but at least their goals were the same.

If it were Pei Zhan, Shen Yebai might not have much of a chance of winning. But if it were Ji Liangchuan, Shen Yebai had never taken him seriously since the day he entered the Jiang family.

Xie Huai walked in from outside: "Mayor, Miss Jiang's application for a forced divorce has been submitted to the court, and we should have a result soon."

"I want them to get a divorce within three days."

Xie Huai understood Shen Yebai's meaning, and he nodded, "Yes, I will immediately have someone expedite the process."

Shen Yebai glanced at the wedding invitations placed to the side.

The HR department acted quickly and completed Ji Liangchuan's onboarding procedures. Pei Zhan's office remained in the president's office for the time being, and Ji Liangchuan's office was eventually vacated in Jiang Hua's studio.

The Jiang Group has a new vice president, and Jiang Weiguo rarely attends shareholder meetings. In addition, Jiang Weiguo personally guides him through the meetings, familiarizing him with his duties.

Most people don't know Ji Liangchuan, but all the remaining veterans know him.

Unexpectedly, his appearance has changed so much in just a few years; at first, many people did not recognize him.

Now that the Jiang family has stabilized, with Jiang Weiguo's involvement, there are naturally forces willing to support Ji Liangchuan's parachuting in.

However, almost 80% of the people in the entire Jiang Group are under Pei Zhan's control. Among them, a small number of people do not obey his orders because Pei Zhan's decision-making and actions are too ruthless, decisive, and resolute. There have been disputes and disagreements in management, and he even tried to undermine the power of others. This has led to the former dissatisfaction with him. Now that Ji Liangchuan has arrived, he has become an additional force to oppose him.

When the shareholders' meeting ended, the older members were all old friends of Jiang Weiguo.

“You should have done this a long time ago. Pei Zhan is monopolizing power. If someone doesn’t come to counter him, the company will inevitably run into trouble sooner or later.”

"Exactly. This person is ambitious and ruthless. Right now, to put it nicely, it's the Jiang family, but if things continue like this, the company might even change its ownership to the Pei family."

"Now everyone in the company follows his lead. It's true that he's capable, but he's a bad person. No matter what, according to seniority, we are his uncles and elders."

Jiang Weiguo: "Yes, yes, that's just Pei Zhan's personality. Please don't take offense. Without him, there would be no Jiang's Group today. Every decision he makes is for the good of the company."

One of them looked at Ji Liangchuan and teased him, saying, "I think you're a much better son-in-law than Pei Zhan. You know how to respect your elders. With this attitude, it's only a matter of time before you replace Pei Zhan and take complete control of the Jiang family."

"You are so lucky, your sons-in-law are all outstanding."

"That's right. No matter what, Liangchuan is someone we've watched grow up. He was personally trained and kept by Weiguo's side for so many years."

"No matter what... it's better than handing the Jiang family over to an outsider."

“Pei Zhan is too career-oriented and power-hungry. Hua Hua will definitely suffer if she follows him.”
