Jason couldn’t accept it. He didn’t understand why he wanted him to leave. He didn’t even understand why he wanted him to please Jiang An.
He was the youngest son in the family and had always enjoyed the love of his father and brothers. He had a rich life that he could see.
He had never thought that he would have to curry favor with someone one day. He had finally achieved this, but he was told that he had been given away as a gift.
Jason was having none of it. “I’m never going to see Jiang An again,” he wailed. “None of you are going to send me out.”
John would not indulge him. He slapped him hard.
“If you don’t go, I’ll beat you to death right now.” John’s tone was cold. “You’re not my only son anyway.”
John had been struggling for the throne for so many years. In his dreams, he would defeat everyone else and become the king. He would not allow anything to go wrong at this time.
Moreover, Jiang An was clearly biased towards him. As long as he worked hard, he would succeed. If he failed at this moment, he might as well hang himself.
Jason did not understand why his father would treat him like this. He rebelled and said, “Then kill me. I’m a prince of a country. I’ll never do anything to please others again.”
John raised his eyes to his, as if he were watching a great joke.
“You think you’re a prince, but if we lose this time, you won’t even be able to keep your life. Only when I ascend to that position will you be a prince. Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance to curry favor with others.”
Jason couldn’t accept such a thing. It shattered all his pride.
John didn’t give him any time to be stunned. He grabbed his collar and said, “It’s your honor to be chosen by Jiang An. When you go back with her, you’ll have wealth and status. Even if you can’t get married, I won’t mistreat you in the future. If you stay, you can just wait to die.”
Jason finally scrambled away. John knew he would go to Jiang An tomorrow. After all, this son had never had much backbone.
At the same time, William was discussing countermeasures with Henry. He did not expect things to develop like this. Allen was clearly much more handsome than Jason.
“Dad, Miss Jiang only expressed her preference for Jason, but she didn’t really like Jason. We still have a chance,” William said.
Of course, Henry knew that it made sense. However, everything was piled up now. Tomorrow was the National Day Ceremony. He did not know if that subst.i.tute could fool the people.
They had to get Jiang An’s support as soon as possible. For this, he could even give his son away. He could not lose to John.
William thought about it and said, “Perhaps Miss Jiang is just revealing a piece of information to us. She wants sincerity and not a vague show of goodwill.” “Really?” Henry was interested.
“We don’t have much time, and Miss Jiang An is the same. If she can’t help anyone, then she came for nothing, so she doesn’t want to continue probing. Whoever has this intention, just tell her directly. That’s why she shows preference for Jason, because Jason mentioned his father,” William a.n.a.lyzed.
The more Henry listened, the more he felt that it made sense. If she had really chosen Jason, there would have been no need to beat around the bush. She would have just expressed her support for John.
“You’re right. Find a time for Allen to talk to Miss Jiang,” Henry decided.
William shook his head. “No, I’ll talk to Miss Jiang myself.”
“That’s good too. You can explain it more clearly.”
Jiang An, who was at the hotel, had the same thought. She told Sophie everything that would happen on both sides, and Sophie was surprised.
“An’an, I think you’re the one who’s suitable to be a queen.”
Jiang An waved her hand. “I’m not cut out for this. It’s just that from their point of view, they might say such things.”
Zou Bai said, “Then do you still want them by your side tomorrow?”
These words sounded sour. Anyone could tell that he was jealous.
Jiang An smiled and said, “Tomorrow is the celebration. Of course they have to go and do their own things.”
Zou Bai’s expression was still not good, but he did not let go of Jiang An’s hand.
Sophie, on the other hand, was a little worried. “The double is coming out tomorrow. What should we do?”
Jiang An thought for a moment. “Don’t worry about the subst.i.tute for now. You should contact the military.”
“But I don’t even know them. Will they care about me?” Sophie was at a loss.
Jiang An smiled. “They’re already waiting to see who I want to support. It’s the right time for you to contact them now. You have to let them know that you’re not speaking up for your mother, but planning for yourself.”
“If they hesitate, just say that the Xiyun Jiang family will support you at all
costs..”
