Ruan Tianling shook his head: "I haven’t heard any rumors about this. But it’s already certain, he is the heir."

"Why is that?" Nangong Ruyue still didn’t understand.

"Everyone wants to take that position now, but no one dares to. So Nangong Yi is the best choice."

Jian Yufei suddenly understood: "They are afraid that when Nangong Xu wakes up, he will retaliate, yet they don’t want to benefit others, so they chose Nangong Yi, who doesn’t have long to live but is highly qualified, to inherit, right?"

Ruan Tianling nodded: "Exactly."

Nangong Ruyue said: "In this light, that child indeed should inherit. But did my father agree?"

If Nangong Wenxiang didn’t agree, no one else could inherit either.

They are not Nangong Xu, nor do they have Nangong Xu’s abilities.

Ruan Tianling laughed: "I heard grandfather agreed, but he said the Double Dragon Ring must be found before the inheritance can be formalized. Right now, Nangong Yi is just a temporary heir."

Jian Yufei quickly said: "The Double Dragon Ring is with Nangong Xu... as long as Nangong Xu is alive, they can forget about finding it."

To get the Double Dragon Ring, there is likely to be another internal conflict.

Nangong Ruyue sighed.

Now it seems the Nangong Family has become even more chaotic.

But these are not her concerns.

"You two continue chatting, I’ll go check on your father."

"Mom, I’ll help you."

"No need." Nangong Ruyue waved her hand, allowing only a servant to assist her out.

...

The living room was left with just the two of them.

Jian Yufei lamented: "Truly, life is unpredictable. That position has changed so many heirs. First Ansel, then Nangong Xu, the child in mother’s womb, followed by Nangong Wenchang. And now, it has unexpectedly fallen to Nangong Yi. It truly proves the saying, what’s meant to be yours can’t be avoided, and what’s not will eventually slip away."

Ruan Tianling, however, pulled out a cold smile—

"Wife, you’re too naive."

"Why?"

"For Nangong Yi to take that position, it wasn’t fate." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"I don’t understand, is there some inside story?"

"Nangong Wenchang died, but there was no reaction from the Nangong Family, have you not suspected anything?"

Jian Yufei’s eyes widened slightly.

"You’re saying..."

"That’s right. Nangong Yi didn’t care about Nangong Wenchang’s death at all, so he didn’t expose us."

"That can’t be. He was his grandfather after all..."

Ruan Tianling curled his lips: "I investigated further, and it turns out Nangong Yi wasn’t favored. Nangong Wenchang outwardly pretended to like him, but actually wished he would die soon. Do you think he would care about such a grandfather?"

"How could it be like this?"

"I don’t know about their affairs either."

Jian Yufei suddenly recalled a conversation she had with Nangong Yi.

[Cousin, you’re different from the people in the Nangong Family.]

[That’s because I didn’t grow up in the Nangong Family.]

[That’s your luckiest point.]

It seems the people within the Nangong Family indeed lack pure familial affection and happiness?

Jian Yufei couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Nangong Yi.

Not only does he not have long to live, but he also hasn’t had it easy within the family.

His life is indeed quite tragic...

Jian Yufei’s hand was suddenly squeezed.

Ruan Tianling coldly interrupted her thoughts: "You don’t need to pity him!"

"Hmm?"

"He’s not as simple and pitiful as you think."

"Why?"

Ruan Tianling looked serious: "Because I suspect that the incidents where father-in-law was kidnapped were actually orchestrated by him!"
