Chapter 643: The Princess’ Risk
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Zhen had learned from the subordinates of the older generation of the Jiang family. He had come into contact with these people when he was in his teens, so he was very experienced in doing things. Ordinary people could not compare to him at all.
However, this also caused him to be very cautious. Before doing anything, he had to confirm how risky it was. He could not take the risk with the Jiang family.
His style of doing things was so calm that he was overly cautious. However, after more than ten years of development, the Jiang family’s business had long stabilized.
The companies under the Jiang family had also reached a large scale and were generally stable. Jiang Zhen’s work style was very suitable to deal with these things.
This led to Jiang Zhen instinctively rejecting any risk, such as what Jiang An was doing at this moment.
“I’m protecting them out of friendship. I don’t have any intention of interfering in other countries’ internal affairs. Moreover, even if Country F wants to come and ask for her, they need her permission to return to the country. If they go against her wishes, it’s called kidnapping,” Jiang An emphasized.
Jiang Zhen looked troubled. “But others don’t know what you think. They will guess what the Jiang family wants to do. It will even affect many business dealings.”
Jiang An wouldn’t be frightened by such words. She had already come into contact with the Jiang family’s business and learned from Zou Bai that it was normal for business to fluctuate. If she was overcautious for the sake of business stability, she might as well not be the head of the family.
As long as the entire family was developing, there was no need to fuss over a few businesses.
“Brother Jiang Zhen, it’s normal for business to fluctuate. There aren’t 100% stable business transactions in the world,” Jiang An said.
Jiang Zhen understood that Jiang An didn’t care. He swallowed his advice and had to remember his identity.
He finally said, “Forget about the business, but it’s really not a good thing to leave a princess in Xiyun.”
According to the news from Zou Bai, Country F was about to fight for the position of the crown prince. All the members of the royal family were not spared.
Moreover, these members more or less had power in their hands. If it really came to the last moment, no one could say if they would use force.
When the time came, they would definitely cause trouble for the Jiang family in order to bring Sophie back.
The Chinese government had always adhered to the principle of not interfering with other countries. If Country F pressured the government, it was very likely that they would directly send Sophie back. Then, the Jiang family would become a huge joke.
Seeing that Jiang Zhen was already walking back and forth anxiously, Jiang An comforted him. “I didn’t announce to the public that I wanted to keep Sophie here. I just informed the Jiang family to do their best to protect her. If what you’re worried about really happens in the future, the Jiang family will be considered to have done their best. We won’t lose anything in any way.”
As the heir, Jiang An had to calculate the gains and losses from an overall perspective, not whether she would lose money on a certain point.
As long as Sophie’s matter did not affect the Jiang family, it was not a loss. She had done this to build a good reputation.
Since the young master of the Jiang family could do this for a friend she had not known for long, it was definitely beneficial to befriend the Jiang family. The Jiang family would obtain more friends.
Seeing that he could not persuade her, Jiang Zhen could only sigh and let her go. This matter was not so big that the Jiang family could not bear it. If Jiang An insisted on doing it, so be it.
Jiang Zhen lowered his head and said, “Since you understand everything, I won’t stop you anymore. The entire Xiyun will definitely abide by Young Master’s orders.”
Jiang An walked over and softened her tone. “Brother Jiang Zhen, this matter was done out of affection. You shouldn’t be calculative about the so-called gains and losses. If I were the one who fell into this situation, would you ignore me because of these external interferences?”
“Of course not!” Jiang Zhen raised his head and said firmly.
Jiang An looked at him calmly. This already explained everything.
Jiang Zhen no longer mentioned the possible consequences. This time, he was really willing to protect Sophie.
Zou Bai quickly walked over and shouted Jiang An’s name, interrupting their conversation. “An’an, something happened in Country F. The old king passed away two hours ago. The crown prince left behind a letter that he was unwilling to inherit the throne and left. Now, there’s no one in Country F who can stand up and take charge.”
Jiang An asked, “Does Sophie know? How is she now?”
“Country F is so chaotic that they’ve had no time to inform Sophie. I don’t think she’ll know until a while later.” Zou Bai shook his head..
