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

The sky was shrouded in mist, a light rain was falling, and the streets were crowded with cars.

Imperial Capital University, the artificial lake behind the school.

A group of people watched the scene unfold not far ahead as if it were a spectacle. Song Qingran had nearly drowned that morning and barely escaped with her life. Now, dressed in a hospital gown, she was still here in the rain, searching for the bracelet that her so-called sister had given her. She was soaked to the bone and looked utterly disheveled.

As she stepped into the lake, the water submerged half her body. Her friends quickly tried to stop her and pull her out…

But Song Qingran pushed her away, determined to go into the water.

Shen Bao'er clicked her tongue. "This Song Qingran, how can she be so stupid? Huahua, doesn't she look like a drowning dog?"

"After three boring years at this school, I've finally found something fun to do. I can't bear to let it go like this. I need to have more fun with it to make it truly enjoyable."

Jiang Hua held a black umbrella in her hand. After the rain, a layer of fog floated around her, making it difficult for her to see clearly.

Shen Bao'er then said, "Huahua, I'll show you something good."

As she spoke, Shen Bao'er took out a bracelet that had originally been thrown away but was now in her hand.

Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow. "Bao'er, she's Pei Zhan's woman. Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"

Shen Bao'er rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "What do I have to be afraid of? Besides, isn't Pei Zhan only where he is today because of the Jiang family? If he dares to make a move, my brother is no pushover. Even that country bumpkin wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him. I have to say, these two are truly a match made in heaven, both shameless to the core."

"Originally, I was going to let her go, but I just couldn't stand the sight of her."

A cute, chubby face, like a porcelain doll, but the words she spoke seemed incongruous with her appearance; it was as if this porcelain doll was actually heartless…

"Huahua, wait for me here, and see how I get revenge for you."

Behind Shen Bao'er, someone held an umbrella for her. She crossed her arms and exuded a powerful aura. There were quite a few people following her. Jiang Hua looked at her back and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.

Jiang Hua already knows about the bracelet...

Half an hour ago, she made that phone call. Xu Ma said, "...Oh dear, isn't that bracelet the young lady's?"

"Could it be that the guest that Young Master Pei brought back dropped it? I thought it belonged to the young lady. I found it when I was cleaning last time and returned it to the young lady's room."

Jiang Hua: "What does she look like?"

Aunt Xu: "She looks quite young, only eighteen or nineteen years old. I remember her surname is Song, and she seems to be quite familiar with Young Master Pei."

"Later, I found it in the trash can in the young lady's room. I thought the young lady hadn't put it away properly, so I took the liberty of finding you a jewelry box to put it in."

"The one that Miss was going to give to Miss Bao'er is still at home. I accidentally took the wrong one this morning."

"If Miss is in a hurry, I'll have Butler Wang send it over now."

Song Qingran…

Pei Zhan, why do you have to humiliate me like this?

Bringing Song Qingran to Yulong Bay in such a ostentatious manner, are you so eager to assert your sovereignty?

They even brought her to her father…

How dare you treat me like this!

"Hey, Song Qingran! Look at what I have in my hand!" Shen Bao'er stood on the lake shore, showing off the bracelet in her hand.

Song Qingran was soaked to the bone and shivering from the cold. Upon seeing it, she burst into tears of joy, "It's not lost, I knew... it wouldn't be lost."

Several of Song Qingran's friends began to complain indignantly to Shen Bao'er, "Shen Bao'er, are you just going to play with Qingran like this? What did she do to offend you that you have to treat her like this? Do you know that she almost drowned here this morning and still has a fever? People like you will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

"I'll teach you to be so talkative and meddlesome." Before Shen Bao'er could even make a move, her friends behind her had already slapped Xue Ruyao across the face.

"Ayao!" Song Qingran stepped in front of Xue Ruyao, "If you have any problems, come at me. Don't bully my friends."

Shen Bao'er shook the bracelet in her hand, a smile curving her lips. "Song Qingran, don't you want your bracelet anymore?"

"If you want it, come and get it yourself!"

Song Qingran knew they wouldn't give it to her so easily, but she still gritted her teeth and stepped forward. When she was only a step away from Shen Bao'er, Shen Bao'er threw the bracelet away and pretended to be apologetic, putting her hand to her lips, "Oops, I accidentally didn't hold it properly, it's with her."

"It's here with me, come and get it!"

Song Qingran was being teased back and forth. She lost her balance and fell straight to the ground. Her palms were cut by pebbles, and her face was also cut, bleeding.

Xue Ruyao burst into tears before her, "You people are bullying me too much! I'm calling the police. This isn't going to end like this."

Shen Bao'er felt like she had witnessed the biggest joke in the world. "Call the police? Okay, go ahead and call them! Do you even know who my uncle is?"

"He controls the entire police force in the capital city. I want to see who gets caught in the end, you or us!"

"Song Qingran, you brought all this on yourself. As a person, you should know when to bow your head. Not everyone is someone you can afford to offend."

"Even Pei Zhan today, in my eyes, is nothing more than a dog being kept by someone else."

Song Qingran's hands clenched into fists at her sides, her face pale. She finally relented and spoke, her voice weak, the rain blurring her vision, "What...what do you want from me to let us go?"

"Sister Bao'er, catch!"

The bracelet was tossed over, but Shen Bao'er didn't catch it; instead, it fell to the side.

Jiang Hua, holding an umbrella, walked slowly over. The tips of her shoes were a little wet. She bent down to pick up something that had fallen at her feet. It had worn marks on it. "...Want it? Beg me."

Song Qingran blinked, looked at the person in front of her, and uttered two words with difficulty, "Please."

Seeing her give in so easily, Jiang Hua felt extremely bored. Song Qingran had thought that by giving in, she would be able to get rid of her, but who knew...

Jiang Hua tossed the bracelet in her hand, which flew in an arc before landing in the lake, creating a small splash.

Song Qingran didn't have time to think; she jumped directly into the lake.

Xue Ruyao: "Qingran!"

"She...can't swim, save her...please save her!"

"She will drown."

"Qingran!"

Jiang Hua watched indifferently as Song Qingran jumped into the lake and struggled. She thought she would feel a sense of pleasure, but... she didn't. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of unease.

Just then, a car stopped not far away, and before anyone could react, a black figure jumped into the lake…
