Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684: Choosing the Successor

“I’m not venting, I’m about to go crazy.”

Anan’s eyes narrowed.

Jian Yufei murmured, “I thought I was strong, that I could live without him. I also thought that as long as he was happy, it wouldn’t matter if I left him. Although it would hurt, I could endure it… But now I know I was wrong. All my assumptions were based on him loving me. If he doesn’t love me anymore, then how do I endure? Turns out I’m not strong at all, just one sentence from him can completely break me…”

Anan clenched his fists tightly, blood seeping through the white gloves.

“What did he say?” he asked with difficulty.

Jian Yufei’s eyes were blank: “He didn’t say anything… it was I who spoke…”

Anan knowingly asked, “What did you say?”

“I think I must be crazy!” She must have been crazy to suggest breaking up.

Once those words are said, they’re like water thrown out, impossible to take back.

Jian Yufei started scrubbing the laundry vigorously again. Anan reached out to grab it, and Jian Yufei’s sharp eyes noticed bloodstains on his gloves.

“What’s wrong with you? Was it me?” she grabbed his hand, asking with concern.

Could she have pressed too hard just now and injured his hand?

Only then did Anan feel the pain from the wound, and he withdrew his hand: “It’s not related to you, I accidentally hurt myself.”

He had crushed a glass in his grip upon seeing the contents of a text message.

Shards of glass were deeply embedded in his palm, and he had only done a simple bandage.

“Really nothing to do with me?” Jian Yufei didn’t believe it.

“Really nothing to do with you. Miss, I think you shouldn’t stay here. If you’re tired, you should go upstairs to rest.”

Jian Yufei nodded, got up, and left.

She had nearly collapsed, but Anan’s antics gradually calmed her.

What she needed to do now wasn’t endless sadness and despair, but to gather herself and deal with Nangong Xu.

She wanted to save her mother, and even if she couldn’t, she couldn’t leave her; she had to stay with her.

Ruan Tianling would have his own new life.

In the future, the two of them would truly have nothing to do with each other.

The sky grew gradually darker.

Fearing she wouldn’t be able to sleep, Jian Yufei took two sleeping pills to fall asleep.

At night, the security of the castle is much tighter than during the day.

A dark figure darted around the castle, skillfully avoiding all security systems and guards, swiftly sneaking into a castle, and finding its way to a study…

Jian Yufei slept deeply.

Upon waking up in the morning, just after she had breakfast, Qi Ruisen came to find her.

“Yufei, there’s something I need to tell you.”

His expression was grave, making Jian Yufei ask nervously, “What’s wrong?”

“Some people in the Nangong Family are calling for a general meeting, and Nangong Xu has already agreed. You’ll also have to attend.”

Jian Yufei breathed a sigh of relief; she thought something had happened to her grandfather again.

“What kind of meeting is it?”

“It’s naturally to discuss who will be chosen as the successor.”

Jian Yufei frowned slightly, remembering clearly that the only heir was Ansel.

Why choose?

Qi Ruisen saw her thoughts and said in a low voice, “The old man has fallen ill and is completely unable to manage affairs. They will definitely take this opportunity to elect Nangong Xu as the head of the family. Even though Ansel is the sole heir, they might ignore that entirely since there’s no one to stop them. Furthermore, Nangong Xu’s followers will surely nominate him at this time.”
