Chapter 673: Pickup

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were many people standing under the plane, and a band was playing music after opening the door. The red carpet was spread all the way to the terminal. The scene was really grand.

Because Jiang An was only invited to the ceremony and her status was not that of a national political figure, the two princes did not appear. That would be too low.

But Princess Annie could come. After all, her daughter was on the plane.

Sophie had not seen her mother for a long time. Her father had passed away when she was young. To be honest, she could not even remember what he looked like. When she was in France, she and her mother relied on each other.

Reunion after a long separation made Sophie suddenly feel wistful. If it weren’t for the happiness of her people, she really didn’t want to stand on the opposite side of her mother.

Just as Sophie was feeling a little guilty, Annie had already walked over enthusiastically to welcome Jiang An.

Jiang An was shocked by her actions. Although she was a guest, her daughter was standing at the side.

Annie acted as if she didn’t see Sophie at all. She held Jiang An’s hand and joked around, looking very familiar. The reporters who came quickly raised their cameras to take photos.

Jiang An and Sophie now understood why. Now that everyone was staring at Jiang An, her actions would make people think that the two of them were on good terms.

Sophie managed to control her expression. She understood that her mother wanted to fight for the throne. It was true that everyone wanted higher positions, but her methods were too despicable.

Jiang An had just arrived. Hadn’t her mother thought carefully about how others would think of her if she did this? Would her two uncles deal with her because of this?

Her mother had never considered Jiang An’s safety from the beginning to the end. She was just fighting for a moment of anger.

Sophie did not want to continue her performance here. She quickly held Jiang An’s hand and said, “You’re tired from the long flight. You should hurry up and rest.”

Only then did Annie reluctantly let go. After entering the terminal, Sophie said to Zou Bai, “Hurry up and take An’an to the hotel to rest. I’ll stop Mom.”

Zou Bai understood what Princess Annie wanted to do. Her act of trying to get close to An’an was annoying, but he didn’t want to expose his identity. Otherwise, he would have made a move long ago.

He instructed Zou Yi to drive the Zou family’s car over and stay in the Zou family’s hotel. He did not follow the people from Country F.

It didn’t matter even if it was exposed that he had his own business here. They would only think that it belonged to the Jiang family and be even more respectful to Jiang An.

In Zou Bai’s opinion, An’an should be praised by everyone. After all, he was supporting her from behind.

Before Princess Annie could react, she heard a report that Jiang An had left. She said unhappily, “Sophie, how could you let her stay outside?”

“I don’t give a damn where other people want to live,” Sophie snapped.

Annie panicked. “Do you know how important Jiang An is to us? With her support, your two uncles won’t be able to compare to me. At that time, I’ll be the rightful queen.”

Sophie rolled her eyes. “Mom, stop daydreaming. Jiang An is here purely for the sake of national friendship. She didn’t say she wanted to get involved in this mess.”

“What?” Annie said loudly. “Aren’t you good friends with her? Why can’t she be on our side?”

She had seen on the news that Jiang An was on good terms with her daughter, so she felt that Jiang An must be helping her. Now that her daughter said this, she was not sure about Jiang An’s attitude.

Annie paced back and forth in the room anxiously. She had to pull Jiang An to her side.

Sophie just stared at her. Her daughter, whom she had not seen for a long time, was back. Not only did her mother not say anything heartwarming, but from the moment they met until now, she had been talking about someone else because that person could help her fight for the throne.

She had really given up. She was not that important to her mother. She was a mother herself, so she naturally knew what a mother who missed her child was like.

Annie did not notice her emotions. She was filled with worry about the throne, afraid that Jiang An would help her two brothers tomorrow.

John and Henry, on the other hand, were frantic. They had seen the media coverage. Annie’s photo of Jiang An seemed to be very close. Had they lost their chance?

Jiang An didn’t know that she had already made two groups of people unable to sleep. After knowing that the hotel she was staying in was the Zou family’s business, she relaxed and changed her clothes before lying on the bed. No one knew what she was thinking.

Zou Bai walked out of the bathroom and saw her like this. He walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I just find it strange that I’ve become a VIP of a country,” Jiang An said.

Zou Bai smiled. “There will be many similar situations in the future. You have to be prepared..”
