"Miss An, about the matter from a few days ago..."

"Since Elder Jiang mentioned the matter from a few days ago, I happen to have something to say." Before Jiang Huai could finish his sentence, An Yiqing interrupted him, "The incident from a few days ago, I believe everyone present is aware of it. I don’t know how I offended Eldest Miss Jiang to make her frame me like this. Although I know harmony brings wealth, as a child of the Xuanjin An Family, I feel Eldest Miss Jiang should give me an explanation."

"What did you say?! You—" Jiang Xuerou was furious, slamming the table in anger, but was silenced by a stern look from Jiang Huai.

An Yiqing chuckled, glancing at Jiang Xuerou, "It seems Eldest Miss Jiang doesn’t think she’s in the wrong, perhaps she’s been abroad too long and lost her manners."

Jiang Huai’s face grew increasingly dark. First, An Yiqing tried to pressure him with the An Family, then she sarcastically remarked that Jiang Xuerou lacked a proper upbringing. Huai Sha was pointing fingers indirectly, all suggesting that their Jiang Family couldn’t be presented properly!

"Miss An, please watch your words and actions. Although Xuerou was wrong, the issue has already settled, and Miss An’s reputation hasn’t been damaged."

"Oh?" An Yiqing raised a well-groomed eyebrow, her eyes cold, "Elder Jiang, I find your words quite interesting. Are you implying that only if I’m vilified by all the netizens, unable to defend myself, and finally labeled as promiscuous, it counts as harm to me?"

Jiang Huai was stumped, staring at An Yiqing silently without responding.

"Heh, so it seems Elder Jiang does mean that." An Yiqing chuckled lightly, "In that case..."

She suddenly stood up, grabbing Jiang Xuerou by the hair, and with a thud, slammed her head into the boiling hot soup bowl in front of her.

"Ah—!" Jiang Xuerou screamed in pain.

An Yiqing’s lips curled as she yanked Jiang Xuerou’s head out by the hair, only to plunge it back in again. Over and over, the repeated thuds were interwoven with Jiang Xuerou’s screams. The dishes on the table trembled violently with the impact, and food, soup, and drinks were spilled all over.

"What are you doing! Stop! Stop it now!" Jiang Zirong was the first to react, immediately reaching out to stop An Yiqing’s actions. However, before he could get close to her, he was flung aside by a formidable force.

Jiang Huai was shocked, not expecting An Yiqing to have such prowess. He slammed the table forcefully, "Enough!"

With his large hand clenched into a fist, Jiang Huai fiercely attacked An Yiqing’s head. Had An Yiqing been hit, it would be disastrous, if not fatal.

However, at that moment, An Yiqing, who was holding Jiang Xuerou by the hair, suddenly smirked coldly and disappeared in an instant. Jiang Huai was startled, but he couldn’t retract his fist, which was now heading straight for Jiang Xuerou.

Poor Jiang Xuerou, just having lifted her head from the soup bowl, was struck by her own grandpa’s fist, causing her to spit blood and faint with her eyes rolled back.

Jiang Xuerou’s stepmother sat beside her, splattered with blood across her face, and immediately screamed in terror.

The successive screams alarmed the Galaxy Sect guards stationed outside the villa, who instantly drew their guns and rushed in.

The scene quickly spiraled out of control. Dozens of Galaxy Sect members armed with pistols encircled An Yiqing, watching her warily. If she made any move, they would shoot her on the spot.

Jiang Zirong, whom An Yiqing had flung aside, struggled to get up from the ground and clutched his stomach as he walked to Jiang Huai’s side, glaring at her grimly.

Uncle Jiang saw things taking a turn for the worse and stepped in front of Jiang Huai, shielding him behind.

"Miss An, I kindly invited you to Jiang Family as a guest, and what do you mean by this? Xuerou was only acting on a childish whim, why are you being so aggressive?" Jiang Huai’s face was as dark as a storm, wishing he could shoot An Yiqing right then and there.

"Childish whim?" An Yiqing let out a cold laugh, "Elder Jiang, your precious granddaughter is seven or eight years older than me! Almost thirty years old, and she still acts on childish whim?"

Jiang Huai was so embarrassed his face turned red, "She may have been a bit willful, but that doesn’t warrant you treating her like this!"

"Oh? And how did I treat her?" An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, "Earlier, Elder Jiang mentioned that even though Eldest Miss Jiang was wrong, this affair didn’t damage my reputation, so I shouldn’t be relentless. In that case, I’ll give you the same words back. Although I was wrong earlier, I did not harm Miss Jiang’s personal safety or reputation, so Elder Jiang shouldn’t be relentless either, right?"

Jiang Huai was panting heavily, not expecting An Yiqing to be so sharp-tongued, catching him off guard!

"Miss An, are you planning to fall out with the Jiang Family?!" Jiang Huai asked in a deep voice.

An Yiqing’s expression turned cold, "Elder Jiang has it wrong, I never had any relationship with the Jiang Family. Jiang Zirong first set me up, Jiang Xuerou besmirched my name. Today, you, Jiang Huai, have invited me to a Hongmen Banquet! All these matters, I, An Yiqing, will remember and will repay double in the future!"
