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

"Perhaps from the very beginning, Huo Tingshan wanted to turn Pei Zhan into a second version of himself."

"Unfortunately... he failed!"

Jiang Hua's lips moved but she couldn't utter a word. It felt like there was a sharp blade in her throat. "So... that's why he doesn't care about Pei Zhan's life."

"If there is even the slightest hope that Pei Zhan cannot be saved, Huo Tingshan will abandon him and let him fend for himself."

Huo Tingshan doesn't allow himself to have any weaknesses, which is why he put a village girl from the countryside in the position of mistress. For him, who holds this position is never important, because the important person in his heart, Huo Qianxue, is already dead.

No wonder Xu Zhoulan is so fearless in everything he does.

After all, he has a powerful father behind him.

"Huo Tingshan is using me as a tool; his goal is to make me kill him with my own hands!"

"That's right!" she choked out.

Jiang Hua was clearly struggling to accept this outcome…

Everything from her past life had changed, but she didn't know that Pei Zhan had been secretly helping her change everything.

On that winter solstice, she should have been the one to die.

But Pei Zhan died in her place.

That's why... her father kept telling her that she had to trust Pei Zhan no matter what.

But she didn't.

She killed him with her own hands!

Xu Qiulan carried in the cooked porridge and saw the person who had just woken up, tears streaming down their face...

Jiang Weiguo wiped the moisture from her face. "This was Pei Zhan's own choice. I just hope you won't hate him anymore."

"I've already brought Liangchuan back."

“He has been taking care of you most of the time during this period, and I told him to get some rest these past two days.”

"He would be so happy if he knew you were awake."

When Ji Liangchuan arrived at the hospital, he was so happy that he was almost at a loss for what to do. He didn't expect Jiang Hua to see him looking so haggard.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, and carefully fed her to drink it. Afraid that it was too hot for her, he blew on it to cool it down. "Drink up. Aunt Xu made a lot more if it's not enough."

"I'll get you another one after you finish drinking."

Jiang Hua's face was as calm as a stagnant pool, without the slightest ripple. She opened her mouth blankly, and the moment the warm liquid slid down her throat, a strong feeling of hunger surged like a tidal wave.

Only then did Jiang Hua seem to awaken from the chaos, and everything around her began to become real and clear.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on Ji Liangchuan in front of her. "Are you alright?"

Ji Liangchuan replied, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"I'm perfectly fine." Ji Liangchuan seemed to want to emphasize something, his smile widening even more. "This time, nothing can finally stop us!"

However, Jiang Hua's thoughts had already drifted far away. Her gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if she hadn't clearly heard what Ji Liangchuan was saying. When she met Ji Liangchuan's eyes again, her heart remained as calm as a still lake, without a ripple.

Jiang Hua was discharged from the hospital three days later. Her bodyguards escorted her to Yulong Bay. Kager stayed by Jiang Hua's side the whole time, never leaving her side.

The unexpected guests at the home were staff members from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Ms. Jiang, this is your divorce certificate with Mr. Pei."

Please accept my condolences regarding Mr. Pei's passing.

"We will cancel Mr. Pei's household registration as soon as possible."

Jiang Hua: "Cancel account?"

The other party: "Yes! We received news that your husband was seriously ill and unfortunately passed away. We have received the death certificate, and the relevant documents need to be cancelled for his household registration, so..."
