Chapter 664: No One Can Save Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huang Jing was really angered to death. He had clearly stood up for everyone’s sake, but why did these two people not appreciate it?
It was normal for one or two disobedient children to appear in an aristocratic family. Wu Xue’s matter had already been settled by her grandfather, so everyone could just pretend not to know.
They had to give each other some face so that they could deal with their children in the future. In any case, they had not done anything irreversible. That young lady had committed suicide by jumping off the building. There was no need for Wu Xue to pay with her life.
As the head of an aristocratic family, Huang Jing had been high and mighty for too long. He had long forgotten that the dead little girl was also a human, someone who had the love of her parents like Wu Xue.
In any case, she was not his child. He sighed lightly to show his kindness and threw it to the back of his mind.
Jiang An hated this kind of disregard for life. If a person didn’t even have the most basic empathy, then he was no different from a beast.
She could tell that Huang Jing was such a person. That was why he spoke so bluntly.
It was impossible for Huang Jing to really fall out with the Jiang family. In the end, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that no one was standing up for her, Wu Xue stopped crying and said, “She wanted to jump off the building, not me. Do you want me to compensate her with my life?”
Sophie’s gaze was sharp. “Even if you die, you won’t be able to exchange for her life. You don’t feel guilty at all when someone died because of you. Instead, you used your power to suppress this matter. You’re simply not worthy of being a human.”
Wu Xue’s mother knew that she couldn’t beg Sophie and Jiang An, so she placed all her hopes on Huang Jing. “Please help me think of a way. Our Xiao Xue definitely can’t go to prison. My father will thank you in the capital.”
If it was any other time, Huang Jing would naturally be happy to help. At that time, he could even make the Zhao family’s elder owe him a favor. It was a beneficial thing.
However, the difficulty was that there were two people who refused to let go of this matter at this moment. One of them was a foreign princess, and the other was the successor of the Jiang family. No matter which one it was, he could not offend them.
Anyway, Wu Xue was not his child. Huang Jing closed his eyes and said, “You can solve the problem your family caused yourself. I can’t help you with this.”
Wu Xue’s mother could not accept this answer. She said excitedly, “If you don’t help me, I’ll go look for my father. He’s an elder of the Zhao family. He can calm this matter down with a word.”
Looking at Jiang An’s expression, Huang Jing felt that this matter would not end so easily. After all, the Zhao family’s elder was only an elder. It was not like he could get the entire Zhao family to help.
Jiang An was no longer a young lady who could be frightened by such words. She was already used to her ident.i.ty and understood what she could do.
Since the family had decided to support Sophie, they would not back down now.
Moreover, that girl had died unjustly. She had to seek justice for her.
“So what if he’s an elder of the Zhao family? Even the current head of the Zhao family can’t save Wu Xue,” Jiang An said firmly.
Wu Xue’s mother roared, “Stop spouting nonsense here. You’re just a young lady of the Jiang family. What right do you have to say that?”
“I’m the successor of the Jiang family, the future head of the Jiang family.” Jiang An looked at Wu Xue’s mother. “My father has already handed all the power of the Jiang family to me. I’m the head of the Jiang family now. If the Zhao family wants to cut off all business dealings with the Jiang family, I don’t mind.”
If it was another family who said that they would cut off business, it would not have much of an impact. Without their family, they could still do business with others.
However, what the Jiang family said was definitely enough to affect their entire family. Although the Jiang family of Xiyun was not in the capital, they occupied a place like Xiyun to develop their business and had already established a huge business empire.
In China, as long as one did business, they would definitely not be able to avoid the Jiang family. They had a pivotal position in all industries.
If the Jiang family said that they would cut off their business with anyone, although it would not cause the entire family to decline, their income would definitely plummet.
The Zhao family did not have much chance to develop their business in the capital. If they lost the Jiang family, they would lose half of their business.
Not to mention the Zhao Family elder, even the Zhao Family Head would not stand up for Wu Xue.
In the end, Wu Xue was not a child of the Zhao family. There was no need to take the risk for her.
Wu Xue’s father immediately realized what was going on. He knelt on the ground and said, “Please be magnanimous and let Xiao Xue off. We will compensate that family to the greatest extent and let them live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives. I only beg you not to let the child go to prison.” “That’s not up to me. It depends on whether that family can accept it,” Jiang An said..
