Chapter 1482: Even if you canât put righteousness before family, you can still distinguish right from wrong.
Translator: 549690339
Jing Tong knew in her heart that compared to Jing zhinianâs illegal research, corruption was not a big crime.
Tang Xu didnât pursue the matter back then probably because he still had his own thoughts. Jiang Yu didnât pursue the matter, mainly because he didnât want to cause any trouble. Even as a victim, Ji shiting didnât 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 Jiangâs 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 couldnât bear to part with her father, she knew that Jing zhinyuan deserved it.
âYingluo, even if I canât accept it, I have to. This is the punishment that my father deserves.â Jing Tong said in a hoarse voice, â I canât put righteousness before family, but Iâm not someone who canât distinguish right from wrong.
Master Jiang glanced at her, but his tone was still a little heavy. âYou should know that even if Jiang Yu becomes the president, it doesnât mean he can do whatever he wants. Besides, you know his personality.â
Jing Tong smiled bitterly,âof course I know.â Donât worry, I wonât make any excessive requests of him.â
She understood the old masterâs concern. However, she wanted to say that the old master was overthinking it. No matter how much Jiang Yu cared about her, he couldnât ignore the law. Moreover, Jing zhinyuanâs 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 manâs expression softened a few times. I know youâre a sensible child. Eat more.â
However, Jing Tong already had no appetite. She forced a smile, â âGrandpa Jiang, Iâm full. Please enjoy your meal.â
He Xiangjun had not said anything before but now she could not help but ask, â âYouâve only taken two bites. Besides, that Chen Zhengfei kid hasnât arrived yet. Iâm just too used to worrying, so donât take it to heart.â
âYup, I know. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs works hard, you wonât be able to take it if you donât eat more.â Jiang Cheng also smiled and consoled her.
This matter concerned Jiang Yuâs future and the fate of the Jiang family. Even he Xiangjun couldnât remain indifferent, let alone Grandpa Jiang, so she didnât interrupt the old man. After all, seeing the change in her usually cold and aloof son because of Jing Tong, even she couldnât guarantee that Jiang Yu wouldnât 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 zhinyuanâs 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 Yuâs 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.âGrandpa Jiang, uncle, aunty, I should go. Thank you for your hospitality.â
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 Tongâs figure disappeared from the dining room, he Xiangjun felt a little regretful. âDad, Jing Tong is not such an insensible child.â
