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

Jiang Hua returned to her room upstairs. Next to the master bedroom were two nurseries. The maid stood behind Jiang Hua and said, "Everything that the young mistress asked for has been arranged. This pink room is for the young lady, and this blue room is for the young master."

"When the custom-made clothes arrived, my husband had already packed them up and put them in the closet."

Kagel stood behind Jiang Hua and said, "It's getting late, Madam, you should get some rest."

Jiang Hua walked to the master bedroom and gently placed her hand on the doorknob. "Kagher, from now on, no one is allowed to step into Jinsha Shallow Bay without my permission."

Kagel lowered his head: "Yes, madam."

...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, Jiang Hua stayed in Jinsha Shallow Bay and never went out. She stayed quietly on the balcony of the huge Jinsha Shallow Bay. Her belly grew bigger day by day, and she became more and more sleepy.

The Huo family still brought people to give Jiang Hua regular check-ups. Fortunately, the baby was very well-behaved and didn't bother her while she was in the womb.

Jiang Hua's health has recovered very well. As long as she keeps her emotions stable, she will be fine. For more than four months, almost five months, Jiang Hua has not had a relapse and does not even need to take medicine anymore.

Jiang Hua lay on a recliner, surrounded by various fruit platters, including some sweet and sour snacks.

The sun was shining brightly today, neither too hot nor too cold, and its warmth felt very comfortable on her skin. The maid was worried that she would catch a cold, so she covered herself with a blanket.

Kagel presented Jiang Hua with a golden invitation card, saying, "This is an invitation from Young Master Shen and Miss Bao'er for their wedding tomorrow. We hope you will attend."

Jiang Hua reached out and took it, "Remember to wrap up plenty of red envelopes and tell her I will definitely be there."

Kagel: "Yes, madam."

She stayed in Jinsha Shallow Bay to avoid the Zhou family, hoping to stay here and rest properly during her pregnancy. She also became lazy and didn't want to do anything, even walking a few steps felt tiring.

Plus, I was carrying such a heavy baby in my belly. If it weren't for the doctor saying that getting more sun exposure would be good for the baby...

Jiang Hua was also reluctant to go downstairs.

Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, this place was covered with a thick layer of snow when I came here.

now…

As the snow melts away, the grass underfoot is once again a vibrant green.

Bao'er once said that she wanted to marry Shen Bulu and become his bride next spring.

Spring has arrived.

She finally got her wish and married the man she loved.

Bao'er is pregnant, and her belly has grown quite a bit, so her wedding dress had to be altered at the last minute to cover up her protruding belly.

Jiang Hua's prepared red envelopes were too full to hold everything, so she could only give a token amount. The Shen family and the Shen family had no shortage of material things, so Jiang Hua simply gave them away. She also gave away three sets of small clothes that she had knitted herself. With nothing else to do, she could only pass the time with other things.

When she first started learning, Jiang Hua had no patience at all and could never learn it. But she slowly learned it little by little.

Aside from these, Jiang Hua didn't know what else she should do.

After learning how, she knitted many other socks, hats, and scarves, which didn't take much effort.

Dad said that Zuo Xiangnan is managing the company very well, and the Huo family is also helping out. The two families have always had a close cooperation, and Jiang's jewelry has become one of the world's largest first-tier luxury brands.

The raw materials from the Jiang family's overseas mines were also part of a small portion of the assets of the Caesar family, which was behind the Huo family's main branch. The Caesar family unconditionally gifted the mines that the Jiang family had been mining. For the Huo family, these were just the tip of the iceberg, insignificant assets.

For the past three months, Jiang Hua has had almost no contact with the outside world, except for her father and grandfather who are worried about her and occasionally call to ask about her situation.

The wedding began the following day, and the gates of Sands Bay opened for the first time in a long time, with a familiar car parked steadily outside the courtyard.

Jiang Hua didn't dress up elaborately; she simply put on some makeup, wore a soft blue dress, and a white knitted cardigan over it. Her long hair was braided with red satin and fell to one side of her shoulder as she waited for the car window to roll down.

Huo Beishen's men quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her. Jiang Hua sat in the back passenger seat and looked at the person inside. "Second Master Huo keeps coming to Jinsha Shallow Bay. I'm starting to suspect that Second Master Huo has some other intentions!"

"What does the mistress think I'm thinking?"

Huo Beishen's question made it seem as if Jiang Hua was overthinking things.

Jiang Hua was too lazy to say anything more to him about this, so she simply changed the subject: "Where's Miaomiao? You should be with her."

Huo Beishen: "I have already sent someone to take her there."

"Nothing is more important than the safety of the mistress."

He put it nicely.

Jiang Hua had no idea what Huo Beishen was up to. In the two months she had been in Jinsha Shallow Bay, everyone there, except for the servants, was Huo Beishen's man. He would come by from time to time, once or twice, but after a while, Jiang Hua had completely lost control of him.

He thought that no one could stop him.

Huo Beishen is a notorious tyrant in the capital city. Few people dare to offend him. If someone tries to mess with him, it's considered good if he doesn't go looking for trouble.

"I've told you so many times, don't come again. Last time she was pregnant, you should have been by her side. Do you know what people are saying about her!"

Jiang Hua later learned from others that she had no idea Huo Beishen would come to see her that day in Wuchuan. Coincidentally, she suddenly went into labor that day, and Huo Beishen was not by her side. Jiang Hua was also troubled by this. She really didn't understand what the men in the Huo family were thinking.

"It seems I was too careless. After the wedding, I will immediately find out who is gossiping, and I will personally execute them."

The Huo family members are all truly mentally unstable.

To call someone a normal person is already the highest compliment one can give.

“Mistress, don’t overthink it. I’ve already said that I’m only here to protect you because someone entrusted me with this task.”

"I have no other intention."

Jiang Hua's reluctance to leave Jinsha Shallow Bay was partly due to him. Whenever she stepped out of Jinsha Shallow Bay, his men would immediately report her situation, and he would come over personally every time.

This time is no exception.

Huo Beishen didn't mention Pei Zhan, but every sentence he spoke was about him.

Jiang Hua's heart was still stirred. She lowered her head and stroked the ring on her ring finger. "Why does she care so much about a dead person?"

"So none of you in the Huo family know whether he's dead or alive, right?"

Huo Beishen: "What if I said he was dead?"

Jiang Hua: "As long as I don't see his body, I believe he's not dead."

Huo Beishen glanced at the exquisite profile beside him, then turned his gaze away from that stunning face and gently curled his lips, "I didn't expect the mistress to be so persistent."

Jiang Hua gave him a cold look and said, "You should worry less about my affairs. Instead of focusing on me, you should take better care of your wife and children."

“She is safer than the mistress.”

...

The wedding of the Shen and Shen families was not a grand affair; it was held in a low-key manner at the Kyoto Grand Hotel. The scale was not large, but it was solemn and romantic. It is said that Shen Bulu and Bao'er put a lot of thought into decorating the wedding venue themselves.

When Jiang Hua arrived, it wasn't too late. Bao'er was getting her hair and makeup done, with the makeup artist putting a veil on her. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, eating as she was manipulated like a delicate doll, her mouth puffed out from eating.

Upon seeing the person reflected in the makeup mirror, Bao'er excitedly stood up. "Huahua, you're here!"

The strapless wedding dress is very loose. This wedding dress was temporarily modified by the most famous Italian master wedding dress designer. It does not look bulky, does not show any signs of pregnancy, and can outline a curvaceous figure.

"It's very beautiful," Jiang Hua said sincerely.

Shen Bao'er smiled happily, revealing dimples at the corners of her mouth. She reached out and carefully touched Jiang Hua's belly, "Let godmother see if the little baby has been good today!"

"He's fine. How about you? Are you feeling sad?"

Bao'er covered her lips and smiled, saying, "I'm fine! But Shen Bulu's reaction is worse than mine. Huahua, let me tell you, it's really amazing! I don't have morning sickness, but Shen Bulu does. This morning he suddenly vomited a lot. He also has stomach pains from time to time, and the doctors don't know what's wrong and can't find the cause."

Jiang Hua's lips curled into a faint smile, and she asked with a hint of amusement, "So where is he now?"

"Still in the restroom."

Following behind Jiang Hua, Kagel explained, "Shen Shao's condition is likely pregnancy-related syndrome. This kind of reaction is mostly related to psychological and physiological factors. A pregnant woman's emotions during pregnancy can easily lead to mental stress. It's probably because Shen Shao is under too much pressure and too tense, which is affecting his autonomic nervous system."

"Yes, yes, that's what the doctor said too. He was even more nervous than me about me having a baby. Huahua, you don't know how he looked when he threw up, it was so funny."

Just then, bursts of boisterous laughter and mockery came from outside the dressing room.

"Brother Lu, your wife is pregnant, and you're vomiting like this. Anyone would think you're pregnant."

"Yeah, let me see how many months old it is, let the guys take a look."

Shen Bulu immediately cursed, "Get the hell out of my way!"

The men who were speaking were Shen Bulu's best men. They were flirting and joking around, but when they entered the dressing room and saw Jiang Hua, who was also there, they all instantly shut up and became mute, timidly silent.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, but Jiang Hua finally broke it, saying, "I'll wait for you in the lounge next door."

"OK, all right."

After Jiang Hua went to the arranged lounge, the bodyguard was outside the door. Jiang Hua sat on the chair and picked up a book out of boredom. She read a few pages to pass the time, when suddenly she heard a faint argument coming from the lounge next door.

"Huo Beishen, let me tell you, you'd better keep your filthy thoughts to yourself. Isn't Yao Yao enough? Whoever you want to lay a finger on, don't touch her, do you hear me?"

Yue Simiao's tone was furious, while Huo Beishen, on the other hand, acted as if he hadn't done anything wrong. With his eyes closed, he calmly uttered a nonchalant sentence, "You think you've grown wings and dare to talk to me like that?"

"What else? Are you going to kill me too? Or are you going to strangle me right now and throw me off here? Aren't you all-powerful in the capital? Would anyone care if I died?"

"Look at yourself! Do you even deserve her?"

"If you really have nothing to do, go back and take care of the kids."

"You traveled all the way to Wuchuan to chase after someone. Fortunately, the mistress is not blind or heartless. Thinking about someone like you, I was unlucky to have married you in the first place."

"Do you know, I was all alone at the time... I almost thought I was dead."

died.

She didn't say the last two words, nor did she want to talk about such unlucky things at such a joyous time.

Huo Beishen closed his eyes. "Try saying another word." His voice dropped a notch, carrying a hint of cold danger. Yue Simiao thought that her words had touched a nerve. He was angry with her because he loved the mistress but could not have her. And so it was... she was so beautiful, any woman would like a woman as delicate and noble as her.

Sometimes, she could handle Huo Beishen's temper and knew when to say what to him. She would only speak to him like that if she really couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, most of the time, as long as his tone changed slightly or his eyes turned cold, Yue Simiao was terrified of him.

Yue Simiao felt both fear and grievance towards him. "Yes! You're amazing. You're high and mighty, and nobody can control you."

"Huo Beishen, let me tell you, you better not resort to any dirty tricks, or I won't let you off the hook. If it weren't for the child, do you think I'd like being with you?"

"I've wanted to divorce you for a long time!"

"I'm afraid the child will wake up and look for me, so I'm going back now."

Finally, Yue Simiao's voice stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of a door slamming shut, indicating that she had angrily run away.

“At first I was quite worried. I was afraid she would think that I had some ulterior motive towards Huo Beishen, that I was coveting her position, and that she would be hostile towards me. I had thought about finding an opportunity to make things clear to her before, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. A person who is disliked even by his own wife means... he really is not that great.” Jiang Hua expressed her concerns.

Kagel: "Because what you now possess is far more than any member of the Huo family's collateral branches, you don't need to take it from others. In other people's eyes, you are more like a bargaining chip that outsiders want to seize."

"Huo Beishen hasn't overstepped his bounds in his interactions with Madam lately. It seems that the young master and Second Master Huo have made some kind of deal, which is why he's protecting Madam so carefully."

Jiang Hua: "His protection is excessive."

Kagel instantly understood her meaning. "I will convey your meaning."

Jiang Hua didn't stay at the wedding banquet for long. She ate a few bites and then left. Everyone was there for Bao'er's wedding today, including Aunt Yue and even Shen's father, who rarely came home.

Besides him…

She didn't know if Shen Yebai was deliberately avoiding her, or if there was another reason.

Jiang Hua hadn't seen him for a long time.

He didn't even show up at this wedding banquet.

We haven't been in contact for the past few months.

And his marriage to Xu Xiangjun…

Jiang Hua thought their wedding would take place before Bao'er's.

She quietly left the wedding banquet, got into her car, and then sent a message to Bao'er to tell her that she was going home first.

Jiang Hua took the opportunity to visit Yulong Bay on her way back.

Seeing the lights on in the villa and the figure sitting inside, he seemed to have lost even more weight in the three months since I last saw him.

Jiang Hua's heart clenched. She slowly walked into the entrance hall and said, "Dad, I'm home."
