Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1687: Chapter 1687: They Cannot Be Brought Back

Who asks like this to the person involved? How do you expect them to answer?

Nangong Xu, however, didn’t take a moment to think nor did he show any difficulty.

He calmly smiled and said, ”Naturally, Ansel should inherit. He is the only heir, and we cannot disrupt the ancestors’ rules.”

”He’s just a child and cannot lead us at all. We need someone like you, who has the power to lead!” someone retorted, dissatisfied.

Then a bunch of people echoed, discontent.

Jian Yufei frowned slightly; were they doing this intentionally for her to see?

So she would know that once Ansel took that position, they would all be dissatisfied.

Jian Yufei mocked silently in her heart, who cares!

”Moreover, we don’t know where Ansel is. If he really went back to China, it shows that he doesn’t care about this family at all! Now that the old master is gravely ill, he should come back and fulfill his filial duties. But where is he?! Do you really believe such a child can lead our entire family?”

”Ansel is young, he may not do many things well, but we should understand him. Besides, Ansel is naturally talented, as long as he’s properly nurtured, he will not be inferior to the old master in the future...”

”He’s not even five yet, how many years will it take to nurture him? In ten plus years, our family will have declined! All of you here, who can wait?”

”No matter what you say, Ansel is the only heir. According to the rules, only he has the right to inherit the entire family.”

”Rules are made by people, and rules are meant to be broken. We can set new rules now, with merit-based succession...”

”The ancestors’ rules cannot be abolished!”

”Why not?! You old fossils, sooner or later our entire family will be ruined by you...”

Both sides started arguing again—

Jian Yufei looked at Qi Ruisen, who shook his head slightly.

Jian Yufei then looked at her mother opposite.

Nangong Ruyue’s expression was indifferent, completely uninterested in these topics.

Eventually, it was Nangong Xu who spoke up to stop their debate, ”Let’s put this matter aside for now and talk about it after we’ve brought Ansel back.”

Jian Yufei’s brow twitched; Ansel certainly couldn’t be brought back by them.

From the start, someone said that if Ansel didn’t exist, Nangong Xu would be the best choice.

If Ansel came back, the people supporting Nangong Xu would tear him apart.

”Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to say a few words.” Jian Yufei said lightly.

The room instantly fell silent, everyone quietly looking at her.

Though many of their gazes were disdainful...

Jian Yufei smiled faintly and said, ”Many of you have spoken reasonably, and I also think Nan...”

”Bang—” A sudden sound interrupted Jian Yufei’s words.

The cup in Qi Ruisen’s hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.

”Sorry, my hand slipped.” He smiled apologetically, then his gaze fleetingly passed over Jian Yufei.

Jian Yufei stood up and said, ”I’m suddenly feeling a bit unwell, sorry, I’ll excuse myself.”

She was about to leave, so Qi Ruisen naturally followed her out.

As they walked out of the meeting room, Qi Ruisen grabbed her wrist and quickly led her away.

Anan and the others were waiting outside; when they saw them come out, Anan frowned slightly.

He took his men and followed them for quite a distance until there was no one around, then the two in front finally stopped.
