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

In the dimly lit emergency corridor, the overhead lights made the man's features appear even more defined and striking. His dark eyes looked at her with emotion in them. Perhaps Pei Zhan had been drinking, for his gaze was somewhat unfocused and unfocused. "She means you no harm. You don't need to target her."

His hot breath washed over her sensitive neck, so hot that her nerves felt powerless to resist.

Jiang Hua laughed, "So you're here to avenge her so soon? Should we tie me up and burn me again?"

She grabbed his collar, pulled him closer, and looked directly into his eyes. "Pei Zhan, I advise you not to think that I'm targeting Song Qingran because I'm jealous of you, and that's why I'm deliberately targeting her."

"I just don't like seeing such trash hanging around in front of me."

"You think you deserve my love, Jiang Hua?" Jiang Hua patted the man's face, and Pei Zhan saw the disdainful mockery in her eyes. "I married you only because I valued your abilities. Otherwise... someone like you with no background or status wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes."

“I’m not a despicable person, but you and Song Qingran are a match made in heaven, despicable to the core. How could I bear to separate you two?”

"Humans should have self-awareness, and so should dogs!"

Perhaps because she heard these words so often, they no longer had much of an impact on Pei Zhan. He stared at her lips, which were shimmering with lip gloss. She rarely put on makeup or dressed up, unless it was for a special occasion or to meet certain people.

"Miss Jiang has quite a few admirers, including Ji Liangchuan and Shen Yebai..."

"I wonder, who is the person Miss Jiang cares about the most?!" This question seemed to be Pei Zhan testing something.

Ji Liangchuan wasn't exactly a secret in their circle, but he was Jiang Hua's eternal pain... a taboo subject in the capital. Before she married Pei Zhan, someone mentioned those three words to her, and Jiang Hua had that woman gang-raped, nearly losing her life. Knowing Jiang Hua's ruthlessness, in recent years, no one has mentioned the name 'Ji Liangchuan' to her.

Hearing it again now, it seems like just a name that is both strange and familiar...

Jiang Hua smiled at him, her tone deliberately light, "No matter who it is, they are all people you can't compare to, Pei Zhan... I don't care if you mess around outside, but just remember one thing... the trash I throw away will never be picked up again."

"Like the dog I had when I was a kid, it would wag its tail at people after eating food they fed it. Do you know what happened to it in the end?"

"I threw it away at the slaughterhouse, and it ended up as food on someone else's table..."

"You too... Remember this, you are something I, Jiang Hua, don't want."

Jiang Hua didn't know which of her words struck a nerve, but his dark eyes darkened.

At the same time, a sound came from outside the emergency exit corridor.

“…Miss Song, you cannot leave without Mr. Pei’s instructions.”

Song Qingran wore a fresh white dress and a necklace she designed herself. Tears welled up in her eyes. "...Please, please let me go. I won't run away. I just want to go home."

"I'm sorry, Miss Song, these are Mr. Pei's orders, and we dare not disobey them."

Song Qingran cried with tears streaming down her face, looking extremely pitiful.

Seeing this through the crack in the door, Jiang Hua laughed, "A country bumpkin, and he's playing the forced love game, Pei Zhan... you're quite the player."

Now, Jiang Hua truly doesn't care; she can take it all in and let it go easily.

Having lived a second life, she truly no longer had any feelings for Pei Zhan, including the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a week; in her heart, he was just so-so.

Even if Song Qingran has someone in her heart now, and no matter how much she dislikes Pei Zhan, three or five years later... her heart will eventually be taken away by him. Otherwise... she wouldn't have willingly given birth to a son for Pei Zhan.

After pushing him away, Jiang Hua took out a tissue from her bag, wiped her hand that had just touched him, and then tossed the tissue aside.

Then, open the door and leave.

The moment Jiang Hua appeared from the emergency exit, the girl forced back her tears. With red eyes, she looked at the stunningly beautiful Jiang Hua and walked past her with an air of arrogance, not glancing at her.

Whether in this life or her past life, Jiang Hua never understood why she lost to her…

Jiang Hua entered the private room, and the waiter brought over a glass of honey water, placing it in front of the handsome Shen Yebai. However… Shen Bao'er stood in a corner with her head down, facing the wall. The waiter also secretly glanced at her, put down the honey water, and quickly left the private room.

Is this... a large-scale private tutoring session?

Upon seeing Jiang Hua return, Shen Bao'er kept giving her meaningful glances, her face clearly saying, "Save her."

Seeing the table full of dishes, Jiang Hua smoothed her skirt, sat down next to Shen Yebai, and naturally picked up a knife and fork to eat the steak in front of her. "Bao'er... what happened to her?"

Shen Yebai's well-defined and beautiful fingers touched the warm glass, which was quite pleasing to the eye. Everyone said that Shen Yebai was an unattainable beauty and no one dared to offend him. In Jiang Hua's opinion, he was just so-so. It seemed that the imposing aura he exuded did not seem to have any effect on Jiang Hua. At least... she was not afraid of Shen Yebai.

It's probably because Jiang Hua was unrestrained and spoiled since childhood. Unlike the Shen family, she didn't have many rules, and Jiang Weiguo didn't use any rules to restrain her. Jiang Hua could do whatever she wanted. Even if she went to a party where she didn't know anyone, she could still blend in with ease and wasn't shy at all.

Shen Yebai said, "Teach her manners."

Shen Bao'er said, "Brother, I just can't stand that new student. She had people smear Jiang Hua on the school forum, saying that she bullied and harassed her... You have no idea how nasty those people were."

She noticed the cold gaze directed at her, which seemed to be related to her.

Jiang Hua opened her mouth, then closed it again, blinked at Shen Yebai, and said, "Yes, I was not in good health at that time and was rarely at school. It was Bao'er who saw those posts that were slandering me for no reason, so she stood up for me."

"Brother Ye Bai, let Bao'er eat first. You can teach her a lesson when you get back."

"Jiang Hua, how dare you speak like that!" Shen Bao'er stomped her foot angrily. "You heartless woman!"

Shen Yebai glanced at her, and Shen Bao'er immediately shut her mouth, sulking as she looked out the window.

Shen Bao'er has been afraid of Shen Yebai since she was a child; the fear is ingrained in her bones.

"This is the last time. If you cause any more trouble for the school, come back here."

"Come over for dinner."

Shen Bao'er happily pulled her chair away from Shen Yebai and sat down next to Jiang Hua, enjoying her meal.

The meal hadn't been going on for very long when Shen Yebai's phone, which was lying beside him, rang at least three times. He ignored it, eating slowly and deliberately, his every move exuding an air of nobility, while at the same time, he also possessed a sense of aloofness that made him difficult for anyone to approach.

Shen Bao'er had an upset stomach after eating and went to the bathroom.

The phone rang and rang. By the fourth time, Jiang Hua was getting annoyed. "Brother Ye Bai, aren't you going to answer it?"
