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

Jiang Hua never hides or conceals her feelings towards people she dislikes, let alone this man who has deceived her for eight years, using the Jiang family's money under the guise of financial assistance to secretly support a 'mistress'. He knows she can't tolerate even the slightest injustice, and he knows... what she can't accept the most is betrayal.

Now, Jiang Hua looks at Pei Zhan as if he were a dirty thing.

Last time, they had a falling out because of Song Qingran, and he 'honestly' revealed to her that his bottom line was Song Qingran, and that Jiang Hua was no match for her...

If it weren't for her father's illness, Jiang Hua... wouldn't have been able to endure it until now.

Each time she lifted her sprained feet and slammed them onto the tea table, her calves were straight and without an ounce of fat. She had just taken a shower, and the dampness on her body hadn't dissipated yet. The body lotion she had just applied carried a faint strawberry scent in the air.

He saw the person who hadn't left yet, looking at him with those deep, dark eyes.

"Alright, you can go back now. If there are any problems, I'll have Aunt Xu come and take care of me. I'm not going to die anytime soon."

Every time... he's like this. If she gets angry, no matter how much she scolds him, Pei Zhan won't say a word. All he responds to is cold indifference.

Unable to vent her emotions, Jiang Hua would smash the entire flower garden hall. Broken vases, broken televisions, her goldfish that she kept out of boredom... all lay on the ground, and Jiang Hua watched them turn into sharp fragments lying at her feet.

He glanced at her before fixing his gaze on her already swollen ankle. Seeing that he wasn't leaving, what power did Jiang Hua have to 'dare' to drive him away? Now the entire Jiang family was under his control, just as he had said.

If he wanted the Jiang family to disappear from the capital and the company to go bankrupt overnight, it would only take a word from him.

She knew his ambitions, but her crippled body couldn't withstand any more torment.

Perhaps this time... she wasn't as lucky as she was in her previous life.

Jiang Hua, barefoot and limping, returned to her room, closed the door, and didn't bother with the people outside.

Just as Pei Zhan left, the elevator was going up and the doors opened.

Wen Huaishi walked out of the elevator carrying Ayuan in one arm and a strawberry cake in the other. The girl leaned on the man's shoulder and said, "Daddy, Ayuan is useless. She didn't watch over the pretty lady. She didn't even blow on her when she got hurt."

The two men's eyes met, and Wen Huaishi, out of politeness, nodded to Pei Zhan in greeting.

"Daddy...when can we see the pretty older sister?"

"How about we wait until Daddy is done with this busy period? Ah-Yuan, come down first, Daddy will get the keys."

"Daddy, can the pretty older sister be the mom? If she's Ayuan's new mom, Ayuan will be very happy."

A-Yuan stood on the ground, looking at the man in front of the elevator in the corridor. Seeing his cold appearance, she shrank her neck and hid behind him.

When Wen Huai opened the door, he gently stroked the little girl's soft hair, but didn't say a word...

Jiang Hua woke up in pain in the middle of the night, reached out and turned on the light next to the bedside table. She bent her leg and found that her ankle was terribly swollen. Helpless, she reached for the phone next to the bedside table, leaned against the headboard, and dialed a number.

Half a minute later, the other party answered the phone.

"Young Miss, is something the matter so late?"

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Hua was indeed somewhat spoiled and caused a lot of trouble for the servants, but she was extremely kind to Xu Ma and rarely went back to bother her.

Jiang Hua: "Aunt Xu, do you still have any safflower oil? I sprained my ankle?"

The tone sounded like someone was pouting and being a little aggrieved.

"Oh dear, safflower oil, I think I forgot to buy it. I'll bring it to you right away."

Jiang Hua glanced at the alarm clock beside her; it was already 9:30 p.m. It would take an hour to get here from Yulong Bay at this time.

"Otherwise, let's call Mr. Pei. If it's really too serious, he can take you to the hospital. Miss, the doctor said you need to change your habit of going barefoot. Cold air entering the body will harm your health."

Just then, as Jiang Hua finished speaking, she saw the man push open the door and enter.

Jiang Hua paused for a few seconds.

“No need, it’s too late today…” Jiang Hua said. “It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious. You can bring it to me tomorrow if you have time.”

"Alright, if you really can't stand it, just call Aunt Xu and I'll take you to the hospital."

"okay."

Aunt Xu sighed with concern. It seemed that the young lady was still angry with Young Master Pei. She had watched Jiang Hua grow up since she was a child, so how could she not understand her temper?

The young lady is thinking of divorcing Mr. Pei. It must be because Mr. Pei did something to hurt her, and... it was a mistake that made her decide to give up everything and could never forgive.

Pei Zhan sat at the foot of the bed, grasped her ankle, and moved very gently so as not to touch her wound. "I've already asked for leave from school for you."

"Don't touch me." Jiang Hua frowned and withdrew her foot, but the movement was too large, and she accidentally bumped into it. She groaned softly in pain, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you, you can leave it there. I'll apply the medicine myself in a bit."

"get out."

"Please remember to close the door."

Jiang Hua speaks in a detached and distant tone, only to people who are both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and she maintains a safe distance in her actions.

Pei Zhan stood up indifferently, placed the safflower oil on the woman's bedside table, and then left Jiang Hua's room.

Jiang Hua picked up the safflower oil from the bedside table, opened the cap, and a pungent smell hit her head. She frowned in disgust, endured the unpleasant smell, and poured a little onto her hand. However, she didn't control the amount well and spilled it all over the sheets next to the bed. She exclaimed "Ah!" Pei Zhan was on the phone at the time, and his deep gaze was drawn to the sound. He glanced at the tightly closed door.

The glass window reflected the man's tall and slender figure.

"I understand, I'll be there soon."

Jiang Hua was a bit clumsy. Her palms were covered in safflower oil, and because of the pain, she dared not use too much force. She could only endure the pain while applying the medicine to the wound. A few minutes later, Jiang Hua heard the sound of a door closing. She glanced outside but didn't pay any attention to it.

After rubbing it for a while, I felt a little heat in my ankle, and it didn't hurt as much anymore.

Once the pain subsided, Jiang Hua was able to walk on her tiptoes. Since the bed was dirty, she slept on the sofa.

Until 2 a.m.

A sharp pain shot through her ankle, and Jiang Hua pulled her foot back. She groggily opened her eyes, only to see an indistinct figure sitting on the edge of the bed. Then she felt her ankle being massaged; she was just too sleepy…

Too lazy to care who it was, Jiang Hua quickly fell asleep again…

She was startled awake by the blinding beam of light the following morning.

The first thing I smelled when I opened my eyes was that unpleasant safflower oil odor, and... that bottle of safflower oil that shouldn't have been in the living room, with only a little left on the coffee table...

Then, a faint noise was heard coming from the bedroom.
