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

After having breakfast at ten o'clock, Song Qingran and Lu Yuanzhou were holding hands while waiting for the elevator. At this moment, a waiter from the Royal Dynasty Hotel walked past them and said, "Did you see her today? The daughter of the Jiang Group is really beautiful. She is the most beautiful person I have ever seen since I started working here."

"I think so too. I feel that if she enters the entertainment industry, she will definitely become a big star."

"Yes, Vice President Li was the one who received her today. The young lady should be coming over for dinner later. Vice President Li even personally set the table in the private room. Even the general manager doesn't get this treatment."

"I've only heard it, and I don't know if it's true. It's said that the owner of the Royal Dynasty Hotel is actually this Miss Jiang."

"No way…"

"It's true. I heard them talking about it last time when I was in the banquet hall. They said that the person Miss Jiang married was actually the head of the Huo family. This dynasty originally belonged to the Huo family. The head of the Huo family dotes on her so much that I feel like he could give her anything she wanted, let alone a hotel."

"Waaaaah... This is so blissful! I want a man like that too, then I won't have to work so hard every day anymore."

Has Jiang Hua arrived yet?

The elevator arrived just then, and Song Qingran was led into it by the hand. Her lower body was still a little sore, so Lu Yuanzhou walked slowly to accommodate her. "For the time being, you should rest well at home. The public opinion storm will soon subside, so don't worry."

"I'll help you figure out how to deal with being expelled from school."

"Thank you, Brother Yuanzhou." Song Qingran's tone was indifferent, and she didn't seem to have much emotion. Lu Yuanzhou didn't think much of it, just assuming that he had taken her too many times last night, leaving her with little energy, which was why she was so listless.

Song Qingran felt a mix of fear and unease as she watched the elevator slowly descend. Two minutes later, as the elevator neared its destination…

"Brother Yuanzhou, you go check out first. I'm going to use the restroom. I'll come find you soon."

Lu Yuanzhou: "It's okay, no rush, take your time."

"I'll go with you to the restroom first."

Song Qingran: "No need."

She refused quickly, as if trying to avoid something.

Lu Yuanzhou turned his head, glanced at her, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Song Qingran met his gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I'm not a child. I'll come find you soon."

Lu Yuanzhou's heart melted a little, touched by the soft spot in his heart. He reached out and ruffled her hair. "Okay, I'll wait for you at the front desk."

"Ah."

After the elevator doors opened, Song Qingran saw the restroom sign and parted ways with Lu Yuanzhou.

In the lobby restroom on the first floor, looking at her pale face in the mirror, the pain in her body reminded her of the fact that she had already had relations with Lu Yuanzhou. The dress she wore last night was so torn that it could no longer be worn, and the clothes she was wearing were white chiffon with a ruffled neckline, clearly showing the ambiguous marks of their lovemaking on her collarbone. She tried to cover them up, but she couldn't, and they deeply stung her eyes.

She knew that she had been set up last night.

She clearly felt that she had been knocked unconscious, and when she woke up, she was already in that room.

The burning desire that surged through her body last night, along with the hallucinations she experienced, suggests there must be something wrong with the incense in the room; someone must have tampered with it.

But it definitely wasn't Yuanzhou who did it; he himself was also drugged…

Is it her?

It's Jiang Hua!

In order to shatter her last hope and remove this thorn from her side, she had no choice but to resort to such underhanded means to remove her from Mr. Pei's heart, so that she could sit in her position with peace of mind.

How dare she use such methods to push her away from Mr. Pei!

All of this... must have been her scheme!

She hates him!

He was also jealous of her, of all the wonderful moments she shared with Mr. Pei, which is why he did this!

Now... she couldn't even keep her virginity.

When Song Qingran came out of the restroom, there were quite a few people coming and going. When she saw Lu Yuanzhou, who was still waiting for her, she composed herself and went over to him.

...

Jiang Hua received several photos on her phone…

When Vice President Li Hong went upstairs to check the rooms, she asked her to take a picture of room 8808 for her. I don't know what her purpose was. Seeing the mess in the room, any adult would know what had happened. It seems that there was quite a commotion last night.

When you flip to the third photo, you can clearly see bloodstains on the bed and blankets, which are probably the first bloodstains left by some girl.

Upon witnessing this clear scene, Jiang Hua was still somewhat dazed for a moment, finding it hard to believe.

This time, there's no possibility for Pei Zhan and Song Qingran anymore, right?

“Here she comes, here she comes… Huahua.” Shen Bao’er saw Song Qingran downstairs and naturally took Lu Yuanzhou’s arm.

Lu Yuanzhou: "Let's go."

As the two prepared to leave the lobby, Song Qingran suddenly shifted her gaze from him to a spot not far ahead. To her surprise, a familiar figure, one she could never forget, appeared before her. The man, dressed in a black suit with a silver ornament on his chest, exuded a cold and authoritative aura. He walked slowly with steady steps. Upon seeing him, Song Qingran tensed up, frozen in place, unsure of what to do, and tried to avoid him.

She tried to pull her hand away, but Lu Yuanzhou stopped her by holding it. He caught a glimpse of her emotional reaction, which made his chest ache, because she had admitted that she could not forget him.

But considering the wonderful night, just the fact that he had completely obtained Qingran made him the biggest winner.

Two men, one an old flame, the other a new love.

They collided with each other.

Lu Yuanzhou greeted him, "President Pei, it's been a long time!"

Pei Zhan's deep gaze locked onto the familiar eyes standing on the second-floor railing. He glanced at Jiang Hua upstairs, who was leaning against the railing, raising her elbow and waving at him silently.

The three people upstairs were completely in a state of watching a show...

Pei Zhan only glanced at him before quickly turning his gaze to Lu Yuanzhou. Before Pei Zhan could speak, a receptionist rushed over, "Sir, Miss... these are the clothes you left in the presidential suite. Do you need anything else?"

"However, I see that this garment looks torn. If you need help, the hotel has a clothing repair service. You can leave your address here, and we can send the garment to you once it's repaired."

Song Qingran lowered her head, not daring to speak. Her heart was filled with intense emotions, which she could only suppress. What she feared most had still happened.

Lu Yuanzhou: "No need."

The receptionist continued, "You'll need to pay for the bed sheets and duvet covers in the room. When we checked the room earlier, the sheets and duvet covers from last night had some... stains that were difficult to clean."

As she said this, Song Qingran's cheeks burned, and the cloth covering her body, which she least wanted him to see, was now laid bare before him, leaving him completely exposed.

The last thing she wanted anyone to know about what happened last night was him!

But...

Song Qingran was unable to speak, let alone explain to him the fact that she had lost her virginity.

A sense of utter devastation, a feeling of helplessness and shattering strength, spread through her heart. Her hands, which she had been holding back, trembled involuntarily. She was filled with fear, unease, tension, and despair…

After he found out, Song Qingran realized that she had no hope left...

Lu Yuanzhou took out a bank card and paid for the bed sheets and duvet cover. "Sorry, Mr. Pei, you must have seen this." As if declaring his ownership of Song Qingran in front of Pei Zhan, he put his arm around Song Qingran's waist.

Pei Zhan remained unmoved, showing little emotion, but rather a hint of impatience. Then, the sound of high heels echoed in the lobby, and Jiang Hua gracefully approached. "Honey~ why are you so slow? I'm starving."

Pei Zhan's lips curled slightly. Whether it was intentional or coincidental, he knew perfectly well. Even so, Pei Zhan extended his hand to the person who was walking towards him, palm up, fingers slightly bent, a wedding ring with a cold white light on his ring finger. Jiang Hua placed her hand in his palm. "Junior Sister Song? What a coincidence?"

"It's been a long time!"

"Why aren't you looking at your senior when you talk?" Jiang Hua's gaze fell on Song Qingran's collarbone. "Tsk tsk, Mr. Lu, you're too careless. A girl's first time should be handled gently and lightly. Look at her... she doesn't look well. Remember to go back and rest."

Upstairs, Shen Bao'er looked at Shen Bulu with some confusion, "What is Huahua doing? Shen Bulu, I don't understand?"

"Tell me about it!"

Looking at the couples downstairs, Shen Bulu put his arm around Bao'er's shoulder and kissed her soft cheek. "I'll tell you when we get back."

sure!

Quite cunning.

This couple really knows how to have fun!

Song Qingran still weakly called out, "Senior Jiang..."

"It's almost lunchtime, Junior Song...would you like to have lunch together?"

Song Qingran: "No...no, Senior Jiang. I'm not feeling well, I'll go home first."

As if fleeing, Song Qingran let go of Lu Yuanzhou's hand and ran away.

Pei Zhan remained silent throughout.

Jiang Hua curled her red lips into a playful smile, watching the woman's hasty departure before turning her gaze back.

"So you were in such a hurry to call me over, Madam? Just to show me this?"

An hour ago, Pei Zhan was in an important meeting when he received her call halfway through. Without thinking twice, he rushed over, already having some suspicions in his mind...

One second she was calling him "husband," the next she coldly slapped away the hand that was on her waist, saying, "That's enough, how much longer do you want to hug me?"

"Seeing your little girl being taken by someone else, don't you feel a little sad? Don't come looking for me to settle scores later. You did this yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Pei Zhan saw that she was overthinking again, "How do you think I should react?"

"How about... I put on a show and satisfy Madam this once?"

Jiang Hua raised her chin and pointed in a direction, "Just go and catch them."

Jiang Hua went to the private room in the restaurant on the eighth floor and found that no one was inside, but all the dishes had been served. She asked the waiter next to her, "Shen Bulu, where are Bao'er and the others?"

"Mr. Shen and Ms. Shen have already left, saying they didn't want to disturb your meal."

"Mr. Shen had already paid the bill before leaving."

Jiang Hua sat down and glanced at Pei Zhan. "No wonder you don't have any friends. Not a single one wants to sit at the same table with you for a meal."

As she spoke, Jiang Hua seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "Ah, I remember now, the only person you can talk to, Xu Zhoulan, still wants you dead."

“Last night I received a loan from the Huo Group for business expansion. Anyone with a brain shouldn’t be showing up in front of me, otherwise… how am I supposed to have lunch with Mrs. Pei?” Pei Zhan handed the chopsticks on the table to Jiang Hua. His usual arrogant and haughty attitude in front of outsiders was completely different in front of her, and he was humble and subservient. Sometimes Jiang Hua really couldn’t dislike him.

"Shen Bulu is after your money, and Bao'er is in your eyes?"

Pei Zhan picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl, uttering a single word: "Ai".

Pei Zhan does seem to dislike working with a team and prefers to work alone. With his capitalist mindset, he believes that one person can only gain more benefits by doing it alone.

Therefore, he doesn't want anyone around Jiang Hua to be near the things he likes, and he doesn't clear away these obstacles entirely because Jiang Hua doesn't like being completely controlled, so he gives her freedom.

Royal Dynasty Hotel.

Shen Bulu: "I can't afford to offend these capitalists. I didn't even get a bite to eat before I was kicked out."

Shen Bao'er sat in the passenger seat, hands on her hips, fuming. "That bastard, that country bumpkin... You just wait, I'm going to message Hua Hua right now and tell her everything."

Bao'er was still a little angry. "He's really going too far these days. Last time, he left me alone at home and waited for Huahua for an hour. He even lied to Huahua and said I had just arrived. Now he's kicking us out and won't let me eat with Huahua. When Huahua is here, I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind."

"No, baby... It's only natural that they would kick us out if they thought we were in their way since we just received the funds."

Did he give a lot of money?

"Ah."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Bao'er put away her phone and said, "Forget it, I'll ask Huahua to have dinner with me next time."

Perhaps because Song Qingran was no longer a thorn in her side, Jiang Hua's mood improved considerably. She ate half a bowl more rice than usual and also ate quite a bit of her favorite dishes.

Halfway through the meal, Jiang Hua received a call from the maid, informing her that an uninvited guest had arrived at their home.

After realizing it was her, Jiang Hua and Pei Zhan went back.

"Did you have a fight with Huo Ling? Isn't she your sister? Why is your face so long when you hear she's coming over?"

Jiang Hua knew that Huo Ling was adopted by the Huo family. In his memory, he had a fairly good relationship with Huo Ling, but this time he had a cold face.

"She wanted to see Xu Zhoulan, but I refused."

Jiang Hua looked at him in confusion: "She went to see Xu Zhoulan?"

"why?"
