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

Jiang Hua twirled her long, curly hair, which draped over one shoulder, and smiled at Jiang Weiguo with narrowed eyes, saying, "Of course I want to. I want to divorce him right now."

"You!" Jiang Weiguo laughed angrily, pointing his finger in front of her. "Alright, go ahead and make an appointment with Ye Bai. It'll save you from staying cooped up in your room all day doing nothing."

Just then, a Hongqi car pulled up outside.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Weiguo looked over and saw that it was Shen Yebai who had come to pick him up in person.

"Brother Ye Bai has arrived, so I'll be going now, Dad."

Jiang Weiguo waved his hand.

Jiang Hua jogged to the car, where her secretary got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear passenger door for her. With her hand on the roof, Jiang Hua bent down and got into the car. Only after closing the door did the car drive away.

In the living room, Xu Qiulan said strangely, "When she was little, the young lady secretly did something bad to Young Master Shen. After that, she was too afraid to go to the Shen family. Even if she wanted to go, she would keep her mouth shut. So the two of them didn't have much contact. Why is the young lady not afraid of Young Master Shen today?"

"No one can say for sure what will happen to young people." Jiang Weiguo looked at the car that drove away, his eyes deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

On a suburban highway, a Hongqi and an Audi passed each other at a bend in the road. Jiang Hua was looking down at her lipstick in her bag. When she finally looked up, she didn't see the other car out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Hua touched up her reflection in the mirror, and seeing the perfect look, she happily put the mirror away. Only afterwards did she remember the white suit jacket that had accidentally brushed against her.

When Jiang Hua got into the car, she lost her balance in her high heels and bumped headfirst into Shen Yebai. His suit jacket still had a smear of Jiang Hua's bright red lipstick on the shoulder.

If it were an ordinary person, they would be concerned about the other person if they accidentally bumped into them. But Jiang Hua was the opposite. Afraid that her makeup was ruined, she quickly grabbed a mirror to touch it up.

"Ah, I almost forgot." Jiang Hua took out a tissue from her bag, leaned closer to Shen Yebai, and tried to wipe off the lipstick, but the more she wiped, the dirtier it got. "This... I'm sorry! I was trying to wipe it off for you, or I could buy you a new one?"

"Let's go to the mall."

"It's alright, it doesn't bother me." Shen Yebai's tone was as cold as ever, without much emotion.

Jiang Hua recalled a time when she was little, visiting the Shen family. During dinner, she sat next to him and accidentally dropped a fried fish ball on his clothes, leaving a large oil stain. She still remembered how Shen Yebai frowned and looked disgusted at her. He then went back to his apartment to change his clothes and kept his distance from her and Shen Bao'er. Later, she heard that Jiang Hua hadn't washed her hands while eating. After that incident, Shen Yebai rarely ate with her anymore.

Jiang Hua now felt that he was a different person. The only thing that remained unchanged was his aloof and unapproachable aura, like an iceberg that could not be melted.

The car was parked outside the courtyard of Yulong Bay.

More nervous than seeing Jiang Weiguo than the luxurious villa in front of her, Song Qingran was about to meet him.

"Mr. Pei, I'm still a little nervous."

"Don't be nervous." This comforting remark didn't reveal much emotion.

After getting off the car, Song Qingran timidly followed Pei Zhan inside and found that the table was already full of dishes, and there was a pile of beautiful high heels in the shoe cabinet by the door.

Aunt Xu carried the last bowl of soup out of the kitchen. "Master Pei..." she didn't finish the last word before she changed her address, "Mr. Pei, you've arrived."

"The gentleman is still fishing; I'll go call him in a bit."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deep voice rang out from outside the door, "You've arrived?"

The sound made Song Qingran jump. She quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged man of about forty-five years old behind her. She was stunned and speechless.

"You're Song Qingran?" Jiang Weiguo looked her up and down.

Song Qingran quickly came to her senses and bowed ninety degrees to the man in front of her. "Hello, Chairman. My name is Song Qingran. I am a freshman in the Jewelry Design Department of Imperial University this year."

Jiang Weiguo nodded thoughtfully, "Since you're here, sit down and eat."

Jiang Weiguo sat down in the main seat. Pei Zhan glanced at him from the stairwell before taking his own seat. Song Qingran, who had been feeling uneasy, carefully sat down next to Pei Zhan.

This seemingly casual act of sitting down caught the attention of not only Jiang Weiguo but also Xu Qiulan, who was standing nearby.

Xu Qiulan frowned slightly and didn't say anything, and Jiang Weiguo didn't say anything either. "Eat up, make yourself at home, don't be shy."

During the meal, Jiang Weiguo mentioned Song Qingran from time to time. When Song Qingran picked up some food and heard the chairman speaking to her, she immediately pulled her chopsticks back, sat up straight, and started talking. Her startled behavior was clearly due to nervousness.

Most of the time, Jiang Weiguo was talking to Pei Zhan about the business situation in Haishi...

Song Qingran found the food somewhat unpalatable and didn't eat much, but she drank quite a bit of the mushroom cream soup. This soup was Jiang Hua's favorite, and it was specially made for Jiang Hua by Xu Qiulan, but she wasn't here today.

This meal took almost half an hour to eat.

Only Xu Qiulan noticed Jiang Weiguo's displeasure.

The girl sitting next to Pei Zhan was someone even an outsider could clearly sense. Song Qingran subconsciously relied on Pei Zhan. If the two were just strangers, she wouldn't let the other get close to her own safe zone. For example, when they were eating, the girl's hand would occasionally touch Pei Zhan because of the large movements. Most people would subconsciously make way for him, but he didn't.

Although the two were clearly pretending not to know each other, anyone with a discerning eye would have noticed the ulterior motive.

"After you finish eating, go back and rest early."

After saying that, Jiang Weiguo stood up and walked upstairs.

Song Qingran immediately stood up and said, "Chairman, good night."

Jiang Weiguo did not respond.

Other servants are cleaning the kitchen.

Xu Qiulan was also clearing the table.

As the two left, Song Qingran didn't notice the bracelet that had slipped from her wrist. Walking out of the villa, Song Qingran lowered her head, clutching her clothes. "Mr. Pei, did I do something wrong just now?"

Pei Zhan: "No, you did a great job."

Song Qingran said in a weak voice, "Why? I feel like the chairman seems a little unhappy."

Pei Zhan said, "It's not your fault. The chairman is not in good health and has heart disease. Perhaps it's because he's not feeling well. Don't overthink it."

His explanation immediately put Song Qingran at ease.

"I was so scared! I thought it was because I ate too much and made him unhappy."

"By the way, Mr. Pei, I remember the chairman has a daughter, Miss Jiang. Is she pretty?"

"what is her name?"
