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

“When your dad found out about the homework your school assigned, he had your grandma personally select a golden ginkgo tree and have it flown over.”

"Mom, I just took a shower. If you don't want to get dirty, how about Dad helps you plant the plants?"

Jiang Hua made up a random excuse, hoping to take the opportunity to cultivate the relationship between the father and son.

Some things always need to be changed gradually and imperceptibly.

Pei Xun will accept him one day.

"Grandma? I still have a grandma? I've never seen her. Mom... what does grandma look like?" Pei Xun seemed to be able to accept anyone except this father. His clear, childlike voice was full of curiosity.

"Mom doesn't know either." The mother and son looked at Pei Zhan with almost identical expressions. One had a hint of temper in his eyes, while the other had a big question and was full of curiosity.

Noticing the gazes of the mother and son, Pei Zhan took the handkerchief handed to him by Kager and wiped the dirt off his hands. "Wait a little longer."

Wait, wait, wait, there it is again. Jiang Hua doesn't know what else is still unresolved.

She never bothered to learn more about the Huo family he belonged to, nor did she understand the other large family that had entered his world.

Even his so-called fiancée disappeared without a trace after only one meeting.

During the time he was recuperating in France, he was only briefly mentioned in a few sentences, and Jiang Hua knew nothing about what had happened.

She didn't want to think about it too much, but her personality forced her to.

But she could only force herself to think about it less.

Even with A Xun, Pei Zhan...

Jiang Hua always had a feeling of being unable to grasp her.

A sense of security that comes and goes.

Pei Zhan was digging a hole, while Gou Dan was playing around, digging in the dirt with both hands, his fingernails full of dirt. Seeing that he seemed to be engrossed in playing, Jiang Hua felt a little resistant to his dirty appearance.

After a while, Pei Xun got tired of playing and sat on the ground, not wanting to move.

After resting for a while, he stood up, supporting himself with his hands, and said, "Mommy, hug me."

Jiang Hua's heart skipped a beat. "You're filthy. Listen to me, Ah Xun, don't come any closer."

"Go find your father."

Pei Xun, his playful side awakened, walked towards Jiang Hua with a mischievous yet shrewd look in his bright, grape-like eyes, making faces and saying, "Mommy~ I'm here."

"No, no, no..." Jiang Hua resisted fiercely, "Goudan, stop bothering Mom."

She's not so keen on having this dirty baby right now.

"Pei Zhan!"

Pei Zhan finished speaking quickly, "Come here and hold the tree up."

Pei Xun's smile vanished instantly. "Oh," he said obediently, turning around and leaning against a tree.

After Pei Zhan finished covering the soil, Pei Xun smiled and ran towards Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua: "Ahhh... Ah Xun, please don't come any closer!"

"Listen to your mother, she just changed her clothes today!" Jiang Hua's words revealed a hint of helplessness and anxiety.

However, Pei Xun didn't seem to take her words to heart and continued chasing after her, laughing and joking. Although his chubby body was a bit clumsy, he was quite fast, and soon he was covered in sweat.

Despite this, Pei Xun did not feel tired at all.

After running for a while, Pei Xun couldn't run anymore. He stumbled and suddenly fell to the ground. Jiang Hua's heart tightened when she saw this. She quickly stopped and looked at him with concern.

However, Pei Xun quickly got up on his own and continued chasing after Jiang Hua as if nothing had happened.

Pei Zhan, standing not far away, witnessed all of this. He watched the mother and son playfully frolicking, a feeling of indescribable warmth welling up in his heart.

Married, with a son, living a harmonious and joyful life, this scene unfolded vividly before his eyes.

All my hopes and dreams have come true.

No regrets.

When Jiang Hua saw Pei Zhan, she felt like she had found a savior and quickly hid behind him: "Dog Egg, are you not listening to your mother again!"

Upon seeing this, Pei Xun not only did not stop, but rushed towards them even more excitedly, calling out repeatedly, "Mommy, Mommy!"

Jiang Hua smiled helplessly and said gently to Pei Xun, "Good boy, you have to take a bath first. You can come and play with Mommy after you've taken a bath."

Pei Xun completely forgot about Pei Zhan's dislike and fear of him, and only wanted to catch his mother with a smile. The two of them circled around Pei Zhan, and Jiang Hua seemed to do it on purpose, dodging the child's grasp just as he was about to grab her skirt.

However, Pei Zhan's black suit pants were covered in mud stains from the child's scratches.

In no time, he was covered in sweat.

I was so tired that I fell asleep right away.

Pei Zhan took the child from Jiang Hua's arms.

She put him on the sofa and let him sleep for a while. Then, Jiang Hua went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. Pei Zhan was still dirty, so she used a basin of water brought by a maid to clean him up.

Their sleeping postures were exactly like Jiang Hua's, completely unrestrained and restless.

...

As dusk fell, all the guests departed.

The other members of the Shen family were merely going through the motions of paying respects to him; once they turned and left, they immediately dropped their pretense.

Inside the Shen family's old house, only a few servants remained, busily working away.

Hongmei walked to Shen Yebai's side and gave him a few words of advice: "Young Master, you will need to stay up all night tonight until the old lady's burial tomorrow."

"If you can't handle it, you can take turns with Miss Bao'er."

After Shen Bulu saw the people off, Bao'er came over with two children. Shen Yanli, being led by Shen Qianqian, stood silently to the side, not saying a word, his eyes red as if he had just been crying.

The irresponsible father has long forgotten about this family since he started a family with another woman.

He didn't even show up at Bao'er's wedding.

Shen's mother, Yue Lianyi, rushed back that night, stayed for a few days, and then left as well.

During these five years, Yue Lianyi lived a good life abroad. She remarried to a wealthy businessman in the real estate industry, obtained a green card, and recently became pregnant and risked her life to give birth to a son.

Bao'er has now found her place and started a family.

From childhood to adulthood, Shen Yebai has never caused Yue Lianyi any worry and has never required her to worry about anything.

Everyone lives for themselves, and judging from her tone back then, she probably won't come back.

The once bustling Shen family mansion has become deserted after so many servants were dismissed.

Shen Bao'er: "Brother, go and rest."

"Leave this to me and Bu Lu."

At this time...

Hongmei hesitated for a moment before speaking, "According to the rules, after the Shen family's old mansion is abandoned, as the sole head of the family, you, young master, need to live in the old mansion with the young master."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yebai glanced at the child with his cold gaze.

Shen Yanli: "You don't need to worry about me. I will take good care of myself. I won't bother you anymore. If you don't want to see me, I will go to my aunt's house."

Bao'er felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. "Ayan, don't overthink it."

Shen Yebai narrowed his eyes. "Did she teach you to say those things too?" His tone was somewhat angry.

With red eyes, Shen Yanli said, "Mom didn't say anything. She's doing well since leaving here, and that uncle is very good to her. That's enough. I don't want Mom to worry, and I don't want you to hate me."

I know you don't like me.

Seeing her brother cry, Shen Qianqian couldn't help but cry too, "Mom, my brother is crying."

"Brother, don't cry." She said, wiping away Shen Yanli's tears.
