Jing Tong knew in her heart that compared to Jing zhinian’s illegal research, corruption was not a big crime.
Tang Xu didn’t pursue the matter back then probably because he still had his own thoughts. Jiang Yu didn’t pursue the matter, mainly because he didn’t want to cause any trouble. Even as a victim, Ji shiting didn’t want to be involved in public opinion again, so the illegal Research Institute was only a separate case in the end. No one connected it to Jing zhinyuan.
With master Jiang’s experience, he could see the clues as soon as he got the information. In that case, there was no guarantee that this case would not be reopened one day. By then, Jing zhinyuan would be sentenced to death.
Jing Tong had been avoiding thinking about this question. However, no matter how much she couldn’t bear to part with her father, she knew that Jing zhinyuan deserved it.
“Yingluo, even if I can’t accept it, I have to. This is the punishment that my father deserves.” Jing Tong said in a hoarse voice, ” I can’t put righteousness before family, but I’m not someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong.
Master Jiang glanced at her, but his tone was still a little heavy. “You should know that even if Jiang Yu becomes the president, it doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants. Besides, you know his personality.”
Jing Tong smiled bitterly,”of course I know.” Don’t worry, I won’t make any excessive requests of him.”
She understood the old master’s concern. However, she wanted to say that the old master was overthinking it. No matter how much Jiang Yu cared about her, he couldn’t ignore the law. Moreover, Jing zhinyuan’s case was handled by Jiang chengjing twice. How could he reverse the verdict for her?
It was impossible for her to make such a request of him.
The old man’s expression softened a few times. I know you’re a sensible child. Eat more.”
However, Jing Tong already had no appetite. She forced a smile, ” “Grandpa Jiang, I’m full. Please enjoy your meal.”
He Xiangjun had not said anything before but now she could not help but ask, ” “You’ve only taken two bites. Besides, that Chen Zhengfei kid hasn’t arrived yet. I’m just too used to worrying, so don’t take it to heart.”
“Yup, I know. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs works hard, you won’t be able to take it if you don’t eat more.” Jiang Cheng also smiled and consoled her.
This matter concerned Jiang Yu’s future and the fate of the Jiang family. Even he Xiangjun couldn’t remain indifferent, let alone Grandpa Jiang, so she didn’t interrupt the old man. After all, seeing the change in her usually cold and aloof son because of Jing Tong, even she couldn’t guarantee that Jiang Yu wouldn’t make a mistake.
Jing Tong also understood this principle. Jing zhinyuan was her father, and this was a relationship that could never be cut off. Just like how she used to be so popular because of Jing zhinyuan’s high status and power. Now that Jing zhinyuan was in prison, it was normal for her to be doubted.
However, even though he understood, he still felt bad. After all, it was Jiang Yu’s family who questioned her.
Jing Tong forced a smile and thanked him. She picked up a soup bun and placed it in her bowl, forcing herself to eat. It was only when she heard the sound of an engine outside that she put down her chopsticks in relief.”Grandpa Jiang, uncle, aunty, I should go. Thank you for your hospitality.”
pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com Jing Tong quickly stopped he Xiangjun when she saw that she was about to send him off. He Xiangjun did not force her, probably because she saw that she did not look too good. She just sighed without any change in her expression.
After Jing Tong’s figure disappeared from the dining room, he Xiangjun felt a little regretful. “Dad, Jing Tong is not such an insensible child.”
