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

"No...you can't!" Just then, an urgent voice rang out from afar, "Mr. Pei, you can't get on this car..."

Jiang Hua looked up and saw Song Qingran, dressed in a hospital gown, running out of the darkness…

She ran breathlessly to Pei Zhan, "Mr. Pei, you absolutely mustn't get into this car."

"There's something wrong with this car, really, please believe me."

Jiang Hua looked at their clasped hands and sneered inwardly, wanting to leave and make room for them.

Pei Zhan brushed her hand away. "There's something wrong with the car. How did you know?" Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hua's hand was suddenly grabbed by her.

She didn't speak, silently challenging him, but unexpectedly, he pulled Jiang Hua to his side, his hand restraining her waist, making her unable to move.

Huo Sanye stepped forward and said, "This vehicle is a military-grade vehicle. Young lady, you can't just say things like that."

Those around Master Huo noticed the gazes directed at them, and soon someone went forward to check the vehicle.

"Mr. Pei, please believe me, no matter what, I will not let you get on this car today."

Jiang Hua, "A lunatic."

"What does the car problem have to do with me? You two can take care of it. I'll take another car back."

"let me go…"

Just then, a scream rang out, "Oh no! Everyone run! There's a bomb in this car!"

Before Jiang Hua could react, her vision went black. She looked as if she were being tightly protected. Pei Zhan held her with one arm and covered her ears with the other, pressing them against his chest.

The vehicle suddenly exploded.

A voice came from above, "Don't be afraid."

The car that exploded was none other than theirs. It was engulfed in flames, billowing thick black smoke. Seeing this, Jiang Hua's face turned pale. She was clearly still reeling from the accident. She couldn't believe that she had almost died.

If Song Qingran hadn't suddenly appeared, she and Pei Zhan really would have...

The shards of glass from the exploding vehicle cut Song Qingran's arm. Jiang Hua watched as she clutched her arm, blood quickly flowing out.

How did she know there was something in the car?

"Are you hurt?" a man's voice came from beside my ear.

"No." Jiang Hua's voice was very calm.

"Huahua, are you alright?" Shen Bao'er immediately ran out upon hearing the commotion outside, carrying a fish cake in her hand. She looked Jiang Hua up and down with concern.

At this moment, Dad and Grandpa also came over. Jiang Weiguo said, "It's good that you're not hurt. I knew today wouldn't be peaceful."

Jiang Huai: "Let Grandpa take a look."

Jiang Hua: When did Grandpa and Dad find out about Pei Zhan's true identity?

Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Huai exchanged a glance. "From the beginning, your grandfather and I guessed it too. We didn't tell you because we were worried that you hated the Huo family. We thought you and Pei Zhan had reconciled, but we were worried about the Huo family's power and wanted to wait for Pei Zhan to tell you in person and give you a surprise."

"Later, I didn't expect that Ji Liangchuan's return would change your mind."

"I'm sorry for what happened between you and Pei Zhan. I should have known sooner that you had a car accident and lost your child."

Only when Ji Liangchuan was mentioned did Jiang Hua remember, "Where is Ji Liangchuan?"

"Dad, where is he?"

Jiang Weiguo: "Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Jiang Hua: "It's good that he's alright."

Feeling a little uneasy, Ji Liangchuan had finally returned, but she didn't want him to leave again.

Pei Zhan's sudden and drastic change in status left her reeling. Now that she held power in the Huo family, she feared he might bring up past grievances. After all, she knew she hadn't treated him well, and more importantly, she didn't want to continue the marriage due to the court-ordered divorce…

If he really doesn't want a divorce, Jiang Hua has no way to deal with him.

"Dad, I want to go find Ji Liangchuan."

Jiang Hua felt a sense of rebirth, as if she had escaped death. She had already died once and did not want to die again.

"Today, out of consideration for the birthday banquet, I don't want to see any blood. Kneel down properly and don't get up without my permission." Xu Zhoulan lay on the ground, feeling as if his ribs were broken again, but this time there was no blood. He slowly got up, raised his hands, knelt on the ground, and looked at him with a half-smile, "It seems that big brother didn't eat enough today, he has no strength at all."

The explosion was premeditated by Xu Zhoulan, and there is no evidence to prove that it was him. When the police arrive, someone from the Huo family will handle the situation.

"Mr. Pei, you're injured." Song Qingran ran to Pei Zhan's side, her eyes wet with tears, probably terrified. She hadn't expected there to be a bomb in the car.

"Go back first. If anything comes up, someone will contact you tomorrow to handle it," Pei Zhan said to her, then turned to look at the person who was no longer beside him. "Where is Madam?"

"The lady is there..."

Song Qingran: "Mr. Pei, Aunt Xia has woken up. I just saw her today. Aunt Xia was very worried about you."

Pei Zhan ignored her and simply walked past Song Qingran, disregarding her.

“Pei…” She tried to step forward, but was stopped by an older servant. “Miss, no one else is qualified to approach the head of the family. You have overstepped your bounds.”

Pei Zhan turned around, but Jiang Hua was stopped by Kagel. "Madam, you cannot leave yet. Your master is behind you."

Jiang Hua: "Who is your wife? Let me know, get out of here right now."

Kagel saw the approaching person and said, "Master." He bowed his head respectfully.

"Mrs. Huo, where would you like to go?"

Jiang Hua looked at the person who appeared in front of her. Even knowing his identity, she really didn't want to take him seriously. "Master Huo, you've mistaken me for someone else. You can call me Mrs. Pei. Oh, I forgot. I've already filed for a forced divorce with the court."

"From now on, it's better if you call me Mrs. Ji."

Jiang Hua didn't give him a friendly look, and Pei Zhan's expression changed instantly. "Hua Hua, I'll explain to you."

"It's not a matter of explanation... Pei Zhan, aren't you supposed to be very smart? Is this problem really that hard for you to figure out?"

I don't love you!

“The Jiang family is no match for the Huo family. You should find someone of equal social standing.” Jiang Hua tried to take off the ring again, but suddenly, the man’s face darkened, and he picked her up.

Upon seeing this, Shen Bulu exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is forced love!"

"Sister Hua, may you become rich and powerful!"

"Whether the Shen family can grow bigger and stronger in the future depends entirely on your support."

"Never forget me, brother!"

Jiang Hua: "Get lost!"

"Pei Zhan, you bastard, you country bumpkin, put him down right now! Don't think you're so great now that you can ride on my head. Let me tell you, in my eyes you're not even a dog!"

The Huo family members: "..."

Jiang Hua was shoved into the car, which drove towards Jinsha Shallow Bay. Pei Zhan, however, was unaware that Jinsha Shallow Bay had already undergone tremendous changes.

Jiang Hua was carried upstairs. The maids immediately bowed their heads and stepped aside when they saw her leaving.

In the room, Pei Zhan touched the wall and turned on the light. He saw a scene that dazzled him: her wedding photo with Ji Liangchuan was hanging above the bed, and the entire room was laid out like a wedding room, with their photos displayed on the table and in every corner.

"You're so eager to marry him while I'm not here?"

Those wounded eyes, tinged with a sinister glint, looked at her. Jiang Hua met his gaze without fear, her face expressionless. "Yes."

"I told you, you didn't listen to what I said."

"I don't want to waste any more time with you."

“My father already knows about my car accident. He said he won’t stop me from being with Ji Liangchuan. At first, I thought about giving you the entire Jiang family business. My request was very simple: just to divorce you.”

"Now it seems that you probably don't need it anymore."

Jiang Hua frowned and looked at him. "From the very beginning, I was attracted to you only because you were suitable, so I tried my best to make you marry me. After marriage, we only have a marriage certificate, nothing else. Just like now, loving you is fake, the marriage certificate is fake, and even the man who shares my bed but not my dreams is fake."

“You can use the Huo family’s resources to give Song Qingran the best material conditions. I also want to make it up to Ji Liangchuan. We don’t owe each other anything. Don’t you know? I’ve slept with him and kissed him.”

"If it weren't for Dad insisting that we be together, we would have divorced long ago after I found out about your relationship with Song Qingran, instead of dragging it out until now..."

"If you were in my shoes and felt that everything around you was full of lies and deception, you would also find it ridiculous."

"I think the biggest joke is when you say you love me."

"Even if everything Song Qingran got was because of Zhou Xu."

"This means that these two people are more important to you than I am."

“I really don’t want to know anything about your affairs. You should save your love for someone who loves you. Song Qingran just shielded you from the explosion and was seriously injured. You should go see her.” Jiang Hua took off the ring on her hand, took his hand, placed it in his palm, and helped him put his hands together. “Give her to the right person. A small family like the Jiang family can’t afford to do this.”

“Pei Zhan…no, Huo…”

"Never mind, I don't even know your name."

"Mr. Huo, let's leave it at that."

How could Pei Zhan let her leave so easily? Jiang Hua's hand was grabbed, and then her soft, pink lips were sealed by his, sucked and ravaged, like a storm, he forcefully held her arms as if he wanted to meld her into his body.

Jiang Hua struggled, pounding her fists on his chest, her breath being stolen and suffocating her, making it hard for her to breathe.

The man before me seemed to have lost his mind.

Until she slowly stopped resisting, closed her eyes, and responded in silence.

But what awaited him was not his aggressive takeover.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Huahua, I was wrong..."

Pei Zhan's voice lowered as he held her. Jiang Hua felt his unusually hot body temperature, as if it were a furnace. He opened his eyes and saw a dazed look in them, with bloodshot veins, a look of exhaustion she had never seen before.

"You should sleep, don't hug me!"

"Let me go, I'm dying of heat."

He didn't react at all, but his hands were tightly clasped together, showing no intention of letting go. Jiang Hua even wondered if he was pretending on purpose.

Could he be unconscious?

Jiang Hua reached out and touched his forehead; it was indeed quite hot.

"Pei Zhan, let me go! I want you to let me go, do you hear me!" Jiang Hua angrily pushed him away.

Suddenly, she heard a muffled groan from his voice, and Jiang Hua smelled a strong odor of blood. Her heart skipped a beat; even her hands smelled of it. Then she looked at her palm—the blood was his…

"How could this be? He was clearly not injured in the photos just now, so why is there blood?"

Jiang Hua laboriously freed one hand to unbutton his suit jacket and pull open his collar, only to see that the bandages under his black shirt were soaked with blood.

"Someone is coming!"

"Is anyone there?!"

Hearing the noise coming from the room, the maid quickly came in. "Madam, is there something you need?"

"Go call the doctor, he's injured and bleeding."

Maid: "Yes, madam. I'll go right away."

When Kagel arrived with the family doctor, Pei Zhan wouldn't let go even though he was unconscious. Jiang Hua slapped him across the face before Pei Zhan finally reacted. "The doctor's here, let go of me now."

Kagel: "The host just had surgery and came straight from the hospital for today's birthday banquet. Madam... you should go easy on him."

Jiang Hua: "I think he deserved it. I didn't know he was injured."

"what do you think?"

Kagel lowered his head and then changed his tone: "Everything the lady did was right."

"After all, your master won't blame you."

"However, I'll have the servants remove anything that shouldn't be in the room first, so that the master won't get angry again when he wakes up, which could affect your relationship with him."

Jiang Hua: "Don't retreat!"

Kagel: "Madam, I'm sorry, I don't think I should have listened to you on this matter."

The maids worked quickly, removing everything in the room that belonged to her and Ji Liangchuan. Even the bright red quilt on the bed was replaced with a pink one, and the walk-in closet was also cleaned up.

Pei Zhan was unconscious, so the doctor could only give him an antipyretic injection and apply medicine to his wounds until the bleeding stopped.

The doctor left with his medicine kit. "The master is already asleep. Madam, you should also get some rest. Good night."

As Kagel left the room, a servant covered them with a blanket. "Madam, please get some rest."

"No! Are you all sick?" Jiang Hua tilted her head back, lay down weakly, and looked at the person who was still unconscious with tightly furrowed brows. The wisps of hair on his forehead covered his eyes, and she reached out and slowly brushed them aside as if possessed.

She glanced at him briefly, then helplessly lowered her hand, looking up at the ceiling. "Never mind," she thought, "I'll deal with this tomorrow."

But it's so hot to be hugging like this.

Jiang Hua simply kicked the blanket off.

The blanket fell directly to the ground...
