Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Jiang Zhen entered and saw Zou Bai and Mo Shen, he didn’t know if he should say anything. After all, this was the Jiang family’s matter.

Jiang An could also see Jiang Zhen’s hesitation and understood that it was definitely not appropriate to speak about this in front of outsiders.

Although Jiang An trusted Zou Bai and Mo Shen very much, she also understood what her status as the successor of the Jiang family represented. She could not harm the family’s interests because of her personal friendship.

Zou Bai and Mo Shen were both very perceptive people. They understood what Jiang Zhen wanted to express and took the initiative to say that they wanted to take care of the children, leaving the living room to the two of them.

Jiang Zhen still felt that he shouldn’t talk here, so he went to the pavilion in the garden at the back with Jiang An.

“Brother Jiang Zhen, did something happen?” Jiang An asked.

Jiang Zhen asked, “Today, you gave an order to the entire Xiyun. I want to ask you about the reason behind this matter.”

“Why do you ask? Can’t you listen to my orders?” Jiang An asked.

Jiang Zhen choked on his words, but he immediately realized what Jiang An meant.

As a subordinate, he really shouldn’t raise such doubts about the young master. According to the family rules, he only needed to obey orders.

“I just want to know the reason. Only then can I protect them better. Moreover, this is the first order you gave as the young master. I have to come and take a look.” Jiang Zhen lowered his head and said.

After not seeing him for so long, he could clearly feel the changes in Jiang An. His gentle sister had already grown up and was like a real young master.

When Jiang An first returned to the Jiang family, she was gentle and kind to the point of weakness. She would never have stood up for herself.

The only time she was tough was when she was facing Si Cheng. She had to resist for herself and her child.

Jiang Zhen had always treated him as a little sister. He felt that he should take good care of her. In the end, he even fell in love with her.

That was why he wanted to agree when he heard Li Mei mention that she wanted to matchmake him and Jiang An.

He should have rejected her righteously. As a subordinate of the Jiang family, he had no right to marry the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

However, Jiang Zhen could not suppress his selfishness. He did not want to give up on this glimmer of hope.

Until their family found out about Jiang An and Zou Bai’s relationship. At that time, he had forcefully cut off all his thoughts.

It was good as long as Jiang An was happy. He only needed to be her subordinate.

With this thought in mind, he worked diligently in Xiyun. He simply took out 120,000% of his energy to deal with everything. The people in West Cloud said that he was the most serious subordinate of the Jiang family.

In his heart, Jiang An would always be a weak flower that needed protection, but now, everything had changed.

What he had just said was enough to prove that Jiang An had long grown into a big tree that did not need protection.

When she asked the question, she was like a real young master. Her posture naturally proved that she was not targeting him, but she really felt that her orders should not be refuted. That was the bearing of a superior.

“Brother Jiang Zhen, I won’t say anything if you ask me, but if someone asks me every time I give an order, it will be troublesome.” Jiang An softened her tone. “Don’t let this happen again.”

Jiang Zhen put down his emotions and said, “I was too impulsive. No one else will know what happened today, and I won’t ask what’s behind the order.”

Jiang An realized that her attitude was not very good just now and quickly said, “After all, this is the first time such a thing has happened. It’s normal for you to ask. I’ll tell you what happened.”

Jiang An recounted Sophie’s identity and what was happening in Country F.

After Jiang Zhen heard this, he became anxious. Because it had just happened, Country F could still hide it from the outside world for the time being. Once they couldn’t hide it, the entire country would be in chaos.

The Jiang family and Country F had business dealings. They had formed a stable cooperation for so many years. If there was any unrest in their country, it would definitely affect the Jiang family. They had to react in advance.

Moreover, the Jiang family had actually taken in a member of the royal family of Country F. This was not a joke. In the eyes of outsiders, the Jiang family supported this princess. God knew what would happen next.

Jiang Zhen became anxious. “What should we do if the people from Country F come to ask for her? Do we say we don’t know? Their country is in chaos now. It’s definitely not a good choice for the Jiang family to interfere now.”

He felt like the sky was about to collapse. At the very least, this was interfering in other countries’ internal affairs..
