Indeed, after being scolded by his father Jiang Huai that day, he was unwilling. As the Family Head of the Jiang family on Flower Island, how could he let his daughter apologize to a young girl in the newspaper? Jiang Zirong couldn’t swallow this!

Therefore, he did some wordplay on the contents of the apology letter, downplaying the whole matter and obscuring the focus. Indeed, An Yiqing did snatch the clothes Jiang Xuerou liked; what he said was true. But he couldn’t control what the netizens thought.

Originally, he thought An Yiqing would have to swallow this dumb loss, but unexpectedly, she boldly issued a reply letter.

Reply, your sister! During his forty-something years, it’s the first time he heard someone actually replies to a newspaper apology!

Thus, the situation began to spiral out of his control, with online insults against Jiang Xuerou gradually escalating, involving the Jiang family as well.

This time, Jiang Zirong really lost more than he gained!

However, even though Jiang Zirong now regrets it, there’s no way to reverse the current situation.

"Sorry, Dad, it was my mistake," Jiang Zirong awkwardly apologized, "Don’t get angry now, it’s not the time for anger; think about a solution first."

"Hmm! Now you know you should think about solving it?" Jiang Huai, fuming, sat on the sofa, glaring coldly at Jiang Zirong.

Jiang Zirong dropped his head, standing still, already losing the arrogance he used to flaunt.

Jiang Huai snorted coldly, took a deep breath, "For now, don’t do anything, let this matter gradually settle down by itself. You’re not allowed to pull any stunts again. If I find out you’re up to something, you can forget about being the Family Head of the Jiang family!"

Jiang Zirong trembled; he knew this time his father was truly enraged.

Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Zirong with disappointment, slowly lowered his gaze, and sighed. His son was brave but not wise, always riding on the power he built up back then to act recklessly. Originally, he thought his son’s nature, though arrogant, was at least daring. Who knew this time he kicked an iron plate.

That An Yiqing, she truly is a little fox, full of tricks, absolutely unlike a mere twenty-year-old.

Sighing helplessly, Jiang Huai felt both physically and mentally exhausted. Leaning back against the sofa, he slowly closed his eyes.

The matter of the apology letter gradually calmed down. The Jiang family seemed to have completely settled down, not planning to go against An Yiqing anymore.

When Zhang Yufeng shared his analysis, An Yiqing’s smile was meaningful, ambiguous.

On this day, An Yiqing held a brief meeting with Jacob and two other managers, briefing them on recent matters.

The construction of the land in Central was going very smoothly, with the framework completely formed, likely finished in another twenty days. Meanwhile, construction at Xuanjin Hall near Yangsheng Palace was underway as well. To ensure both quality and speed, An Yiqing spent a lot to hire four reputable construction teams, working simultaneously. Thus, efficiency was very high.

Also, the plan for the old site of Flower Island International Primary School was progressing smoothly as well. Jacob recruited three excellent designers, and An Yiqing invited a famous Feng Shui master with help from Tang Zhifeng from Xuanmeng, for collaborative design discussions which took a week, resulting in the official launch of the park’s design.

Afterwards, the Feng Shui master personally named the park—Orchid Pavilion Garden.

The construction of Orchid Pavilion Garden was in full swing, many real estate companies inquired about its ownership, finding nothing after investigation. Even those real estate firms with official connections were told "unknown" when asking about it.

Naturally, this was the result of Sun Peiying’s intentional arrangements.

Everything was progressing orderly, but the industries related to Poison Medicine Sect were still inactive.

However, An Yiqing wasn’t anxious, Yu Hai could wait, and so could she.

Just after seeing Jacob and others off, An Yiqing received a call from Xu Qingtian. Ever since the big feast at the street restaurant last time, Xu Qingtian’s enthusiasm seemed to be increasing, frequently inviting An Yiqing out to play. Helplessly, An Yiqing had been busy with either her company or treating and saving people, only today did she find some leisure time.
