This was Wen Nian’s bottom line. She had almost been destroyed, and the Wei family’s reputation couldn’t remain unscathed, right?

Wei Feng looked at Wen Nian for a moment and then slowly spoke, “Alright, well go along with your proposal.”

After reaching an agreement, Wei Feng made a phone call in front of Wen Nian and informed Jiang Guo of the negotiated outcome.

Upon hearing the request, the Jiang couple furrowed their brows. “Discuss it with the Wen family again. We can offer more money and even another house.”

The mindset of wealthy people was to solve problems with money. Wei Feng thought that this was the right approach when he heard their suggestion. It was nothing like the eccentricity of Wen Xing’s family. He reluctantly summarized the failed negotiations based on money and the Wen family’s stubborn attitude.

Jiang Ning, fearing that her apology would be seen nationwide, shook her head anxiously. “Mom, Dad, how can 1 face people if it becomes known?”

The Jiang couple felt sorry for their daughter and immediately refused, “In that case, we won’t be able to reach a resolution here.”

They hung up the phone. Jiang Guo looked at Jiang Ning and said, “1 don’t believe it! A bunch of poor nobodies think they can change the world! Anyway, Wei Lai’s thugs were all arranged by the Wei family. The Wei family has been pushed into a corner and has no choice but to compromise. But you, at most, just got involved. 1’11 buy you a plane ticket, and you can go abroad for a few years.”

Jiang Ning happily agreed, “I want to go to the United States!”

Hearing Jiang Ning’s suggestion, Jiang Guo’s wife immediately knew what Jiang Ning had in mind and angrily smacked her. “This time, it was the Wei family that caused your trouble, but you still want to get involved. You’re not allowed to think about Wei Xiao! We’ll send you to the UK.”

Jiang Chun, hearing his uncle and aunt’s words, knew that once Jiang Ning went abroad, they would have a free hand to deal with Wen Nian. She furrowed her brows slightly and looked up, saying, “Wen Nian is easy to deal with, but her boyfriend, Shen Jun, is the future head of the Shen family in the capital. The Jiang family must not go against the Shen family. He had probably made those thugs disappear.”

Jiang Guo looked at Jiang Chun in shock. “You’re saying that he’s Shen Mo’s son?!”

Shen Jun had secretly left the capital. Only his close friends and family knew about it. Jiang Chun had come to the coastal city to study and had accidentally discovered Shen Jun’s secret. She had chosen to keep the secret in order to gain favor with him.

However, she couldn’t care less now. “1 don’t know why he came to Hai City. You have to pretend that you don’t know!”

Jiang Ning was unaware of the intricate connections between those forces in the capital, but Jiang Guo could already sense what Jiang Chun was hiding. He understood that not only might they fail to win the situation, but it could also have repercussions on his brother’s career in the capital.

This matter now involved more than one family. They could only force Jiang Ning to post an apology video with Wei Lai.

If the Jiang family refused to apologize, it would mean that when Wen Nian reported the incident to the police, the other party might shift the blame onto the Wei family.

Wen Nian was initially waiting to see the start of a dog fight. As she was preparing to leave, she was surprised to hear Wei Feng receiving an apology from the Jiang family.

Wei Feng couldn’t help but feel a sense of suspicion and curiosity. Jiang Guo had always shown great affection for his youngest daughter, so why did he suddenly change his mind within a matter of minutes? Wei Feng’s gaze shifted towards Wen Nian, wondering if she held some sort of trump card or secret leverage that he was unaware of.

Wen Nian was also perplexed by the sudden change in the Jiang family’s stance, but she didn’t dwell on it for long. They were not her primary objective, and she couldn’t be bothered to delve into their motivations. After concluding the discussions, she left with Wen Xing.

That afternoon, the apology video that Wen Nian had approved was uploaded online for all to see. Overwhelmed by shame, Jiang Ning pleaded to go to America, stating that she could not bear to remain in their social circle. Feeling remorseful and believing they had failed their daughter, the Jiang couple reluctantly agreed to compromise and made arrangements for her to go overseas.

The mayor watched the apology video and playfully teased Zhao Wu, saying, “It’s been quite the hot topic for the past couple of days. 1 made sure to support you and withstand the pressure from the Wei Corporation, ensuring that other media outlets didn’t back down.”

Zhao Wu poured the tea and placed it in front of the mayor, a playful smile in his peach blossom eyes. “Don’t worry, I will make sure to treat you to a fantastic meal another day.”

The mayor asked curiously, “1 thought you had turned over a new leaf after getting together with Whitty. What’s going on? Is this the new girl you’re interested in?”

Zhao Wu waved his hands. “This girl is taken. Don’t simply group her with anyone.”

The mayor smiled and replied, “I won’t take you up on that meal, but 1 do expect you to contribute to the recruitment quota for the new district this year. The recruitment bureau has been quite ineffective, and I’m too lazy to scold them.”

Zhao Wu made an OK gesture, feeling a sense of pride in his competence. He silently praised himself in his heart, acknowledging that he truly excelled in his role as an uncle..
