Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: He Loves My Mother Very Much

Jian Yufei smiled faintly: ”But you wouldn’t want to see them get hurt either, right?”

”Sister-in-law, what exactly do you plan to do?”

Jian Yufei responded gravely: ”I need to get the antidote. I’ve asked the doctors; they said as long as we get the antidote, they can develop more of it. Once we have the medication, we won’t need to fear Nangong Xu’s threats.”

Awei agreed that this made sense.

”But how will you get the antidote? The Boss won’t allow you to take such risks. Besides, without bringing back the young master, will he even give you the antidote?”

”Good question. Exactly. He made it clear—both Ansel and I must return for him to provide Ansel with the antidote. But I cannot take Ansel back. I won’t let him fall into their hands again. At the same time, I need the antidote, or else we’ll remain at his mercy.”

Awei looked bewildered: ”Sister-in-law, if you’re not taking the young master back, how do you plan to get the antidote?”

”That’s why I need your help. Awei, will you help me? Will you hide this from Ruan Tianling and support me?” Jian Yufei gazed at him sincerely.

Awei didn’t know how to respond.

He was deeply loyal to Ruan Tianling and didn’t want to deceive him.

But he also didn’t want anything bad to happen to him or to Ansel.

”Awei, even if Ruan Tianling learns the truth, he won’t blame you. He’ll only blame me. He knows you’re doing this for his sake—he won’t hold it against you.”

”That’s not it. Sister-in-law, I’m worried about you. While I don’t want anything to happen to the Boss or the young master, I also don’t want anything to happen to you.”

Jian Yufei smiled gently: ”Nothing will happen to me. Nangong Xu wouldn’t dare harm me. He’s too hypocritical to even stoop to such actions. If he really intended to act, he wouldn’t be waiting for us to obediently return. Besides, killing me would serve him no purpose. Trust me—I’m absolutely certain he won’t do anything to hurt me.”

”Why?” Awei still sounded doubtful.

Jian Yufei fabricated an excuse: ”He cared deeply for my mother. If something happened to me, my mother would be devastated. He wouldn’t want to see her suffer.”

”Really?”

”Of course. Otherwise, with his current level of power, why hasn’t he taken control of the Family Head position? It’s because my mother is still alive that he’s holding back.”

”But would he really let the young master be poisoned?”

”He denies being the one who poisoned him, and there’s no solid proof that ties him to it. He’s actively working on the antidote for Ansel to ensure his safety—it makes him appear virtuous. My mother would never fault him. If Ansel were to suffer, it would be my fault for not bringing him back for the antidote. It would have nothing to do with him.”

Jian Yufei’s analysis was sharp, and by coincidence, much of what she said happened to be true.

Nangong Xu refraining from action was indeed out of consideration for Nangong Ruyue.

Awei genuinely believed her explanation. After a moment’s thought, he said, ”Sister-in-law, if you end up being captured, the Boss will definitely come to rescue you.”

”Awei, you still haven’t prioritized correctly. The most crucial thing right now is obtaining the antidote. If we can develop it ourselves, Ansel’s safety won’t be a concern anymore. Dealing with Nangong Xu will also be easier—we wouldn’t need to worry about his life. Rescuing me would be simple because it wouldn’t require direct confrontation with him.”

Awei replied heavily: ”Sister-in-law, I understand all of this, but I still can’t bring myself to let you take such a risk.”

”If you can’t do it, then our whole family will likely perish!” Jian Yufei said sternly.

Awei’s pupils shrank—
