Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377: I’ve Come for You

”My elder brother is an ally of Nangong Xu, so my brother cannot be allowed to inherit the family business.”

Jian Yufei suddenly understood, and all the unclear points became crystal clear.

No wonder the old Nangong insisted on her marrying Qi Ruisen—it turned out that the Nangong Family and the Qi Family had interconnected interests.

If she did not marry Qi Ruisen and help him seize the family business,

it would be difficult for her to deal with the union of Nangong Xu and Qi Ruigang.

Jian Yufei raised an eyebrow and laughed, ”I understand your intentions now, to deal with Nangong Xu, we must first handle Qi Ruigang. By making him lose a powerful ally, it will be much easier to target him later.”

Qi Ruisen smiled appreciatively, ”Exactly. But I suspect, grandpa’s goal is not just that.”

”What else is he aiming for?”

”He’s afraid that he won’t be able to handle Nangong Xu in his lifetime, and even more afraid that after his death, there would be no one to help you all. So what he is doing now is helping me take over the Qi Family, so that in the future, I can support Ansel as a father.”

”By relying on the Qi Family alone, can we contend with them?”

”You ask a good question!” Qi Ruisen smiled shrewdly, ”That’s exactly why the old man wants Ruan Tianling to grow stronger.”

Jian Yufei froze—

Qi Ruisen’s voice continued, ”The strength of a foster father, coupled with the power of a biological father, will make us much more assured in facing them.”

”So that’s what the old geezer meant...” Jian Yufei’s eyes reddened slightly; they had all misunderstood him.

”But I still don’t understand why I must marry you?”

”If you don’t marry me, how can I take over the family business as a member of this family? How can I confront my elder brother? And how can I inspire Ruan Tianling’s potential?”

Jian Yufei grabbed Qi Ruisen’s arm eagerly and asked,

”You’re telling me so much, clearly not planning to hide everything from me. Can you tell me where my other child is?”

”I’m sorry, I genuinely do not know that,”

Jian Yufei suddenly stood up and walked outside, ”I’m going to find my grandfather!”

Qi Ruisen stepped forward and grabbed her arm, ”What are you going to ask him for?”

”I want to ask him where my other child is.”

”You can go to him, but if you meet Nangong Xu, don’t give yourself away.”

Jian Yufei nodded, ”Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

...

It wasn’t long after Jian Yufei left the castle where she was staying that she ran into Nangong Xu on the road.

Nangong Xu was dressed in a crisp uniform, with an attendant following him.

Seeing his kindly and bright demeanor, Jian Yufei once again reflected on the truth—appearances are deceiving!

”Yufei, where are you headed?” Nangong Xu saw her too, and approached her amiably to ask.

Jian Yufei flashed a faint smile, and instead of answering, she posed a question, ”Uncle, where are you off to?”

”Oh, I came looking for you.”

”Looking for me?”

”Mm-hmm,” Nangong Xu smiled, ”I just got back and thought I’d pick you up on the way, have you go talk with your mother a bit.”

Jian Yufei’s expression flickered, ”What’s wrong with my mother?”

”It’s nothing serious, just that she’s always cooped up in her room, which isn’t good for her health. Now that she’s finally reunited with you, if you could spend more time with her, perhaps her spirits would be much lifted.”

Jian Yufei realized his concern for her mother was genuine.

She couldn’t quite understand—knowing his ambitions, why would her grandfather marry his daughter to him?

Could it be to restrain him?
