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

In the underground parking lot of Jing'an Private Hospital, after hanging up the phone, Pei Zhan went to the inpatient building. As he stepped out of the elevator, Zuo Xiangnan hurried over and reported the situation, "Miss's condition may not be very good, Mr. Pei... you should be prepared."

"Still in the operating room?" The man's eyes darkened.

Zuo Xiangnan explained, "No, it's just a cut on her shoulder that needed seventeen or eighteen stitches. But right now, Miss is throwing a tantrum in the hospital room, and Chairman Jiang is still trying to appease her. If we go over there now, I'm afraid she might..."

The two already had problems in their relationship, and now appearing in front of Jiang Hua was tantamount to suicide.

Jiang Hua's personality is not something that ordinary people can handle.

"I heard... if it weren't for the young lady's good luck in dodging, the knife might have hit her carotid artery."

Zuo Xiangnan uttered these words nervously, and Pei Zhan's steps also stopped in the corridor near Jiang Hua's ward. His dark eyes darkened slightly. "Has the police investigated?"

Zuo Xiangnan nodded, "We checked. The police just left. They said the surveillance cameras had been broken for a while, so no one except the witnesses could see clearly who the perpetrator was."

"Logically speaking, that section of road is a main road, and if the surveillance camera is broken, it should be repaired immediately. How come it happened at this particular time and they say the surveillance camera is faulty?"

At that moment, Jiang Hua's tearful and heartbroken voice came from the VIP ward, "...Dad, how could we not find him?"

"I don't care, I have to find her, that crazy woman, she almost chopped my throat and killed me..."

"Daddy...it hurts so much..."

Jiang Weiguo felt as if a thousand needles were piercing his heart at the same time. He was heartbroken. His daughter, whom he had cherished for more than 20 years, had now suffered such a thing, almost... taking Jiang Hua's life.

Even after years of practicing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures, Jiang Weiguo could no longer hide the murderous intent in his eyes. "I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to find the murderer for you, and then... you can do whatever you want with him."

“I want her to experience what it feels like to be slashed with a knife. It scared me to death, Dad... I thought I would never see you again.”

"Okay, okay, it's alright, it's alright. When we catch him, whatever you want, Dad will do."

"Where's Pei Zhan? Why isn't he here yet?" Jiang Weiguo suddenly asked with dissatisfaction.

Aunt Xu quickly said, "Young Master Pei is already on his way and should arrive soon."

Jiang Hua's eyes were red from crying. "I don't want him to come. Tell him to get out. If he comes, I'm not staying at the hospital anymore."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Jiang Weiguo immediately compromised, "Alright, alright, Dad won't let him come. You stay in the hospital and recover."

Jiang Weiguo coaxed her for a while, and when he saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, he got up and left after finally getting Jiang Hua to sleep. "Take good care of Miss Jiang," he instructed softly, his brows furrowed and never relaxing.

Xu Ma: "I will, sir."

When Jiang Weiguo left, he turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the bedside lamp. As he walked out of the ward, he suddenly saw someone outside the door. "You're here, why didn't you come in?"

Upon hearing the sound, the man standing in front of the railing extinguished the slowly burning cigarette in his hand and tossed it aside. "Huahua doesn't want to see me," was his only explanation.

Jiang Weiguo: "What exactly did you and Huahua argue about? In the past, if you had just been a little nice to her, she would have forgiven you. But now... she doesn't even want to see you. She'd rather come back to live here than go back."

"You're having an affair, and she found out?"

Jiang Weiguo's words hit the nail on the head, his narrowed eyes revealing a knowing and inquisitive gaze.

I thought Pei Zhan would panic, but the person in front of me still looked completely innocent, as if he wasn't the one in the wrong.

Pei Zhan stood facing the middle-aged man in front of him, one hand in his pocket. His aura was no less imposing than the man's. On the contrary, Pei Zhan's wolfish ambition was fully exposed without any attempt to conceal it. "If it weren't for Chairman Jiang's tempting offer back then, perhaps... I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

"Young Miss, very well, it's something I, Pei, cannot accept..."

"Chairman Jiang should have known back then that I already had a fiancée."

Yes, how could Jiang Weiguo not know? It was because Jiang Hua liked her that he used tricks to force Pei Zhan to marry Jiang Hua, thus breaking up Pei Zhan's marriage.

Jiang Weiguo had never met Pei Zhan's so-called fiancée, so naturally... he didn't care about an unimportant or annoying woman.

As long as it's a man that his precious daughter Jiang Weiguo likes, there's nothing she can't get.

Jiang Weiguo suddenly frowned deeply. "According to the agreement from back then, if you don't make Huahua fall in love with you within two years, no matter how high you climb, I have hundreds of ways to make you lose everything."

"Don't forget who gave you everything you have now." His tone was as cold as ice.

Jiang Weiguo took a few steps and stopped beside Pei Zhan, glancing at him sideways. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "This agreement is still valid. It's the last year. If Huahua really wants a divorce, I'll consider it. You'll also get half of Jiang's shares. Huahua is still young, and she doesn't need to waste her time on someone she doesn't love."

"Hide your woman well, don't let Huahua know. If there's a next time, even if I send her abroad, I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance by your side."

The man's eyes were as deep as a still pool. "I wonder if Miss Jiang is aware of Chairman Jiang's decision?"

Jiang Weiguo: "Do you think Huahua won't divorce you now?"

"If you don't believe me, then draft a divorce agreement and see if Huahua is willing to sign it!"

Before leaving, Jiang Weiguo uttered his last words, "Pei Zhan... my daughter. She can take things in stride. He's just a man; she won't cling to you."

Jiang Hua was someone Jiang Weiguo watched grow up. No one knew his daughter better than him. Of course, Jiang Weiguo wasn't without his own selfish motives. No matter what, he still hoped to preserve the marriage, even if it was obtained through an agreement.

He didn't want to see the Jiang family perish; it was his only memento of his wife, the culmination of her hard work... Jiang Weiguo was even less willing to see the group she had built with her own hands fail at the last hurdle. Even if it one day became Pei Zhan's possession, at least... it would still be the Jiang family's property.

Regardless, he will still protect the Jiang family.

To protect the Jiang family business, Pei Zhan is the best choice. Even if he's ambitious, his mind will only be focused on the Jiang family. Pei Zhan is just an orphan with no background or status; it's often people like him who are easier to manipulate. If Huahua were to go through a marriage alliance, the company would inevitably be swallowed up after he's gone. Her daughter would lose her trump card, and living would be painful for her. A marriage alliance is the worst possible solution…

As long as they don't divorce, Pei Zhan can have the Jiang family; if they do divorce...
