Indeed, if it were up to Old Master An to issue the statement, who knows what nonsense the media would write then. If people found out that these parents actually despised their own daughter so much, they might even find themselves scolded vehemently.
...
After leaving the old mansion, Xie Jinya was nearly exploding with anger.
"That wild girl is getting off cheaply!"
After all this hassle, she hadn't expected to be scolded for nothing and still let that cheap girl take advantage!
If she had known it would come to this, she might as well have issued a newspaper statement right off the bat! Choosing a newspaper with a low circulation would have been better than having to specifically organize a banquet and invite a whole host of reporters for a detailed article!
"Spare me your words! If it hadn't been for you stopping me from issuing the newspaper statement back then, would all this trouble have arisen?" An Guosheng was also in a bad mood at the moment, having just been severely scolded.
How could he be happy? He was in his forties or fifties, yet he was scolded like a small child by his father.
"I promised Dad that we must resolve this matter within two months. I'm leaving this to you since I'm too busy at the company to handle it. Plan it well and see which families and media need to be invited."
"Just call any media, why bother planning?" Xie Jinya said dismissively.
With Lin Chuxia's unsuitable public appearance, inviting a few unknown media outlets was already giving her too much credit.
"Just any media? Don't think I don't know what you're planning!" An Guosheng knew Xie Jinya's cunning very well after years together, "Dad is watching this matter! If you still want to stay in the An Family, then you better handle it seriously and diligently!"
Although reluctant, Xie Jinya ultimately agreed.
Lin Chuxia was unaware of what was happening on their side.
She had tricked Xie Jinya today, and going back now would surely bring nothing but sneers and scorn. Since she wasn't masochistic, she decided not to return just yet.
...
Meanwhile, at the Gu Group Building.
"Look, Yuheng, I only get two days off, and I spent most of it coming to see you, and all you care about is your work? Are those boring documents more important than your brother?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuheng finally looked up wearily at the someone who seemed quite happy, "You're overthinking it. How can you compare yourself to work?"
"Exactly, how can work compare to me..." He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something was off. Wait, was Yuheng insulting him just now?
Ge You, lying on the couch, instantly flew into a rage, "Yuheng, you make that clear… How am I not comparable to your work? I'm far more interesting than those boring files."
"Interesting?"
Gu Yuheng gave him a disdainful 'haha' and let him ponder on it.
"What do you mean by that, Yuheng? Clarify it now or I'll tear up all these precious documents of yours!"
"You wouldn't dare! Try damaging a single document. You believe the fate of these documents will be your fate!"
Someone: "..."
He could only bring the documents he was holding to his lips, kiss them, and then carefully place them back where they belonged.
Gu Yuheng: "..."
