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

Jiang Hua remained silent for a long time, never responding to Shen Yebai's words.

As night fell, Jiang Hua declined Shen Yebai's invitation to dinner and took a taxi back to Yulong Bay alone.

At the dinner table, Jiang Weiguo noticed the worry in Jiang Hua's eyes. "Are you worried about Liang Chuan?"

"Don't worry, Dad has already spoken to them and they won't make things too difficult for him at the drinking party. If you want to succeed in the business world, drinking at parties is unavoidable. If he wants to have a good relationship with you, he has to go through this. He'll get used to it."

Jiang Hua: "Mm."

After dinner, Jiang Hua continued to drink those unpleasant-tasting medicines, this time she forced herself not to vomit.

At 10:30 p.m., Xu Qiulan gently woke Jiang Hua, who had unknowingly fallen asleep on the sofa: "Miss, if you are sleepy, you should go upstairs to sleep. You will easily catch a cold if you stay like this."

Jiang Hua: "I'm fine, Aunt Xu, you go and rest."

However, it was almost midnight when Jiang Hua heard the sound of a car approaching. Looking over, she saw a slender woman in a sexy black dress, as beautiful as a lotus flower, helping the already drunk Ji Liangchuan out of the car.

The gates of Yulong Bay were open. The woman helped Ji Liangchuan up. When she saw Jiang Hua standing there, there was no provocation in her eyes. Instead, she seemed a little afraid of Jiang Hua, as if she was afraid that she would misunderstand. She quickly explained, "Miss, I am an employee of the marketing department. It was Assistant Zuo who arranged for me to accompany Vice President Ji to the banquet today. Don't worry, nothing will happen between us. I will bring him back."

"give it to me."

He quickly handed the person over to Jiang Hua, then got into the car and left Yulong Bay immediately.

It seems she really did drink quite a bit.

Ji Liangchuan lay on top of Jiang Hua, burying his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her familiar and unique scent. Jiang Hua's body was tightly embraced by the man's hot body. Besides the smell of smoke and alcohol, there was also the perfume of other women on him. Jiang Hua hugged him tightly, "How did you get so drunk? Didn't Dad say they wouldn't force you to drink?"

Ji Liangchuan: "I'm fine. All of this is nothing for you."

Jiang Hua helped him into the room. As soon as Ji Liangchuan touched the bed, he went limp and collapsed onto the hospital bed.

"Take off your coat first, then go to sleep."

Seeing that he didn't react, Jiang Hua still sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to unbutton his suit jacket. Just as she unbuttoned one button, Xu Qiulan arrived. "Miss, let me do it."

"It's alright, Aunt Xu, I..."

Just as Jiang Hua was about to say something, Xu Ma said something that left her speechless: "Miss, there is a difference between men and women. No matter what, you and Master Pei are not divorced yet. It would be against the rules for you to do these things."

"Let me do it. You can only do these things after you divorce Mr. Pei. Miss, you should go and rest. It's getting late."

Jiang Hua didn't say anything more. After getting up and returning to her room, she took her medicine, took a shower, and went to bed. For her health and to be able to conceive, Jiang Hua had to follow the doctor's orders, resting on time every day and taking her medicine...

This medicine is a traditional Chinese medicine with few side effects. It's mainly for strengthening her body, replenishing her blood and qi, and also has a calming effect. However, Jiang Hua quickly fell asleep...

Several days passed in a row. Ji Liangchuan left early and returned late. Jiang Hua rarely saw him except when he came back. Every time he came back, he drank quite a lot.

Most of the items for the new house were chosen by Jiang Hua herself.

The following day at noon, in a private room at Xiangweiju, Bai Rui had suspended her orchestra activities since returning to China. For her daughter's sake, and to help her get rid of that unsuccessful relationship, Madam Bai personally selected several high-ranking and well-off families who were a good match for her.

Everyone had a good impression of Bai Rui; she spoke eloquently and had a gentle temperament. In addition, she was the daughter of Madam Bai, so most people only wanted to take their relationship to the next level.

But Bai Rui, after meeting him once, there was no further contact.

In the elegant, antique-style private room, Bai Rui made an excuse to leave and get some fresh air. As she walked out, she heard a familiar voice coming from another private room, "...It is naturally an honor for Jianghai to cooperate with the Jiang Group, especially since it was personally negotiated by Vice President Ji. However, your company has always been the one in charge of our project department. Now, the person in charge has suddenly changed. I wonder if something has happened."

"Because the position of president of the Jiang Group will soon be replaced." As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Rui saw Jiang Hua push the door open and enter.

Upon seeing the person arrive, the waiter immediately and quickly added a set of chopsticks and a bowl for her.

The people present were all people Jiang Hua had met at the banquet, and she still remembered them somewhat.

"Why are you here?" Ji Liangchuan placed the unfinished fruit juice drink next to her; it was one of her favorites.

"I checked your schedule and knew you were still socializing, so I came to check on you. What's wrong? Haven't you signed anything yet?"

It's just a contract, is it really that hard to sign?

Three years ago, Jiang Hua witnessed Pei Zhan playing golf with a Chinese-owned listed company in the First City of the World when she happened to be passing by.

Pei Zhan swung his club, and before he could even speak, the other party spoke first, reaching a cooperation agreement. Including the time it took for the other party to sign, it only took three minutes.

One of them laughed, "When did Miss Jiang become interested in business matters?"

“Miss Jiang, I think you have some misunderstanding. We don’t have any prejudice against Vice President Ji. It’s just that… this project was assigned by higher-ups and involves heavy industry projects like railways. Our company was selected for the Jiang Group’s bid mainly because of President Pei’s influence.”

“Yes, we’ve always only dealt with people under President Pei. Now that the person has suddenly changed, we’re not at ease. If something goes wrong, not only the Jiang family, but we can’t afford to bear the responsibility.”

“It’s not a matter of signing or not. You’ve suddenly changed the person, and we don’t recognize them. How about this, we won’t have President Pei show up. As long as he gives us a call, we’ll sign it immediately.”

“Unless… otherwise…” A middle-aged man smiled somewhat maliciously at the others, “Miss Jiang will do us the honor of drinking this glass of wine today.”

"Perhaps we can consider it."

Pei Zhan, Pei Zhan, still Pei Zhan!

The ghost lingers.

Jiang Hua's eyes flashed with coldness. Ji Liangchuan noticed that the unusual aura emanating from her was a sign that she was about to get angry.

Seeing this, Ji Liangchuan said, "I'm sorry, Huahua is not feeling well and cannot drink alcohol. How about I do it for her? No matter how much she drinks today, I will keep her company."

"Hey, what are you saying? We rarely get to see Miss Jiang. We're all business people, mingling in this world of fame and fortune. Who doesn't know how to drink? I don't think Miss Jiang would do us the honor of having this drink."

"Since you are all so worried, the Jiang family and the Shen family are somewhat acquainted. How about I call Shen Yebai now and have him come over to act as a guarantor? I think you will all feel at ease then."

"Furthermore, let's not forget that the Jiang Group trusts Jiang, not Pei. We're all in business, so I think the question of who should be in charge is the same for everyone, right?"

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions instantly changed, revealing fear upon hearing the mention of Shen Yebai.

It wasn't until someone quickly realized what was happening that they laughed a few times and said, "Miss Jiang, look at you, we were just joking. How could we trouble Mayor Shen to come all the way here? He's so busy. It's just a matter of signing something. We'll sign it now."

"But we signed this document today out of respect for Mayor Shen. We agreed that once we sign, the Jiang family would better not cause any trouble. After all, we have been cooperating with President Pei for so many years. If something really happens, it will affect Chairman Jiang."

The drinking party ended unhappily. After the other party signed the papers, the bottles of wine on the table were opened but not touched until the four of them left.

Jiang Hua suddenly overturned the table, the loud noise startling Bai Rui, who was outside the door.

When she secretly glanced at the scene inside the private room, the two were already embracing.

Bai Rui watched this scene with a somber expression, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, and a faint pain rising in her heart.

For so long, she had only heard about him from other people.

Jiang Hua was willing to give up everything in the company and divorce Pei Zhan to be with Ji Liangchuan. For her, Ji Liangchuan was also willing to give up his love of music and become a businessman. In this world of fame and fortune, he accepted all the difficulties he faced.

They are both willing to give up everything for each other and be together without any reservations.

They... seem to be really in love.

By now, Bai Rui's heart felt as if it had died completely, yet she still felt the pain of being repeatedly tormented.

People who love each other will always be together, no matter what.

However, the person who is not loved will never gain that person's love, no matter what they do.

If you don't love someone, you don't love them. Even if you force it, all you'll get is something fake.

Ji Liangchuan, I give up.

I wish you happiness.

Signing this contract finally gives me some closure with my father and the shareholders of the Jiang family business…

Jiang Hua simply didn't want to see him continue to work so hard, and she also wanted the Jiang family to get rid of all the labels associated with Pei Zhan.

...

As night fell, a black sedan slowly pulled up outside the gates of the Jinsha Shallow Bay villa, which resembled a luxurious palace. The villa had finally welcomed its owner…

"Young Madam, it's been a long time." Kagel stood outside the door like a devout servant, waiting for Jiang Hua's arrival.

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Hua felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She walked into the villa without looking at him and saw more than a dozen servants standing in two rows, all waiting for her arrival. "Welcome home, young mistress."

Coming here again gave Jiang Hua a feeling of familiarity and unfamiliarity. The place was huge, equivalent to five Yulong Bays. During the time she stayed here, Jiang Hua complained for the first time that the place was too big. Walking from upstairs to downstairs to eat made her legs ache.

She didn't want to take the elevator, so she asked Pei Zhan to carry her downstairs...

Jiang Hua: "Kagher."

Kagel: "At your service, young mistress."

"Pack up everything in the entire Jinsha Shallow Bay that relates to Pei Zhan," Jiang Hua emphasized again. "Especially everything in the master bedroom, all the furniture, clear it out and replace it with a new set, including the bed, throw away everything that was used."

"I'm going to decorate the wedding room in a couple of days."

Kagel nodded: "Yes, young mistress."

Jiang Hua: "Don't call me that anymore. I won't be your young mistress for long."

"I'm getting a divorce from Pei Zhan soon, and this is where Ji Liangchuan and I live."

"The servant can stay, but you... and your master can leave."

Kagel calmly asked Jiang Hua again, "Are you really sure you want to do this?"

Jiang Hua: "Otherwise what? Jinsha Shallow Bay was compensation your owner gave me when they transferred it to me. I'm in my own home now, do you... have a problem with that?"

Kagel: "I wouldn't dare. The young master said that I must obey all of the young mistress's orders and not make you angry. So no matter how unreasonable the request is, I will not disobey it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua sneered, "You think what I'm doing is unreasonable?"

Kagel, like a robot following orders, said without any emotion, "Young Madam misunderstands. I have no right to judge the master's style of doing things. Young Madam is responsible for giving orders, and I am responsible for obeying. This is my duty. No matter what Young Madam does, the young master will not blame you for your actions."

“Young Madam’s current lack of composure is for a reason. Don’t worry, Young Madam, I will quickly complete the task you assigned before tomorrow, as you instructed.”

Jiang Hua frowned: "Don't call me that."

Kagel: "Yes, madam."

Jiang Hua almost laughed in exasperation, "Kagher, your Chinese has improved, but your brain seems to be less intelligent than a dog's. At least... it can understand commands."

Kagel: "I cannot refute the lady's words."

"Whatever the lady says goes."

“You…” Jiang Hua felt her fiery temper was like hitting a ball of cotton, without any power. She said mockingly, “As expected of Pei Zhan’s trained dog, ha, exactly the same.”

“Madam, please take care.” Kagel bowed his head. “Master will be back soon. Please take care of yourself.”

"Shut up!" Jiang Hua got into the car in a fit of anger. After the driver closed the door, the person sitting in the back passenger seat didn't even give her a glance.

Everything related to Pei Zhan at Jinsha Shallow Bay, including the bed the two had slept in, was cleaned up. Jiang Hua watched as it was hauled away by the garbage truck. Xu Qiulan then hung up the wedding photos sent from the photography studio in the bridal chamber she had decorated.

Kagel witnessed everything.

Jiang Hua stood at the foot of the bed with her arms crossed, looking at the huge wedding photo hanging above the bed. She turned her head slightly and looked at the person next to her, "Is it beautiful?"

Xu Qiulan thought she was being asked, "You're beautiful, Miss is the most beautiful."

"Kagel?"

Kagel simply smiled slightly: "Madam, you are very beautiful..."

"Very well, you're fired from now on. From now on, Aunt Xu will be your housekeeper, and you... can leave."

"Yes, ma'am."

Kagel was much more obedient than Pei Zhan, that dog; in a word, he really left.

When Jiang Hua returned to Yulong Bay, she saw her father looking worried. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"In three days, it will be the 80th birthday banquet of the Huo family patriarch. This is the invitation that was just sent. They also specifically instructed that you must attend. The Huo family will personally send someone to pick you up."

"Wang Qi also heard some rumors that the head of the Huo family would be present."

Jiang Hua asked in surprise, "Huo Tingshan? He never interferes in the affairs of the collateral branches, what is he doing here?"
