Hearing Zou Bai’s words, Jiang An sat in the pavilion and sighed. “If she finds out, she will definitely be sad. After all, her biological grandfather has passed away, but I don’t know if I should tell her now.”
Zou Bai understood what she meant. “You’re afraid that if you tell Sophie now, she’ll ask to return to the country for the funeral, but if you don’t tell her, you’re afraid that Sophie will blame you for missing the funeral, right?”
“You’ve already said that Country F is very chaotic. No one can control what happens if Sophie goes back. If a fight really breaks out, she’ll be involved in this political war. However, he’s Sophie’s grandfather after all. Logically speaking, she should go back to attend the funeral.” Jiang An had a headache.
Although Jiang An had not spent much time with Sophie, she really liked this friend of hers.
Jiang An did not lack family and a lover. In fact, this love had already filled her life.
However, she did not have many friends. The people she knew in the entertainment industry were not considered friends. They could only be said to get along well.
Sophie was basically her first female friend, and she cherished her, which was why she protected Sophie as soon as it happened.
Moreover, she had made up her mind that no matter how chaotic Country F was, she would do her best to protect Sophie.
However, things were developing too quickly. Previously, the old king was only seriously ill, but now, he suddenly died.
That damned crown prince suddenly left at this time, leaving behind a pile of mess.
Jiang An couldn’t help but scold him, “Since you didn’t want to be the king, why didn’t you try your best to resolve it when you were the crown prince? You could have even run away then. Now, you’re clamoring that you don’t want to be the king and even left when the country was in turmoil. What an irresponsible scram!”
The two men present did not stop Jiang An from scolding her. In any case, these words could not be spread. It was good for her to vent her anger. Moreover, the crown prince had indeed gone too far.
Since he was born in the royal family and had enjoyed wealth and glory for half his life, he had an inescapable responsibility, even if it was not something he could choose.
Even if he wanted to leave the royal family, he should first cut off the royal family’s support and show his determination.
Not only did he get the royal allowance as the crown prince, but he also said that he did not want to bear the responsibility of being the crown prince and govern the country. All the benefits were taken by one person. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
“I think we should tell Sophie about this,” Jiang Zhen said after some thought. “After all, her family member has passed away. We should let her choose whether she wants to go back or not.”
“I’m just afraid that she’ll be impulsive, even if she has to think carefully when she goes back,” Jiang An said worriedly.
Zou Bai thought for a moment and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Sophie still has Gao Tian by her side. He will definitely stabilize Sophie.”
After thinking about it, Jiang An could only do this. She couldn’t hide it from Sophie forever.
Zou Bai and Jiang Zhen accompanied Jiang An to see Sophie. Mo Shen was at home taking care of the children. He did not go to the pavilion just now to avoid suspicion. After all, he was the successor of the Mo family. It was better for him not to know about the internal affairs of the Jiang family.
Sophie was arranged to stay in the best hotel in Xiyun for the time being. After that, she would move to the villa area with the best security. It was not far from the Jiang family’s mansion on the mountain, so it was convenient for her to interact with Jiang An later.
Because Sophie was an honored guest of Jiang’an, she was treated warmly by everyone in Xiyun. The hotel treated her with the highest level of service.
Sophie was a princess in Country F and had enjoyed wealth and glory, but she was still shocked by the enthusiasm here. This treatment was not inferior to that of a princess.
For the time being, she did not have to worry about safety. The scenery in Xiyun was beautiful and the air was pleasant. She felt that life was very comfortable, but she was worried about her grandfather’s body. If not for the fact that she was worried about being involved in the storm, she really wanted to go back and visit him.
“I wonder how Grandfather is doing,” Sophie muttered.
She tried to contact her mother, but the communication from Country F seemed to have been cut off. There was no news back for a long time, so she could only wait.
Gao Tian comforted her. “There might be news in two days. Don’t worry too much.”
“Mom, Auntie Jiang An is here,” Gao Jing said from outside.
When Sophie heard this, she quickly went out to welcome Jiang An. Seeing her ugly expression, she had a bad feeling. “Did something happen?”
“Sophie, your maternal grandfather just passed away,” Jiang An said with difficulty.
This was like a bolt from the blue for Sophie. She almost fell to the ground, but Gao Tian caught her..
