However, if Jing Yaorong didn't deny it, they would be dragged into trouble, which wasn't what he wanted either. Therefore, it was complicated. If he were his father, he would deny it as well.
Nevertheless, even though Jing Yaorong denied it, it wasn't convincing.
Even though Jing Yaorong denied it, nobody believed him. If he was really unaware of it, he wouldn't be so calm when Jing Yunyao told him the news. He would be as surprised as them.
No matter how mentally strong they were, they would have some reaction when they heard the news. Besides, it was Jing Yaorong's wife! If he was unaware of it, he would be even more surprised than other people.
Senior Mrs. Jing was hurt, but she didn't blame Jing Yaorong. In fact, she even wanted to carry all the blame to make up for her betrayal to him.
