Truly, people cannot be judged by appearances; the less noticeable the people around her, the more formidable they become.

In front of them, they are all too green...

Ruan Tianling was also astonished at Nangong Yi’s cunning.

"Actually, if it weren’t for his health issues, he would have achieved great things if he had inherited the family."

Jian Yufei frowned, "He’s about to die, why would he want to inherit the family?"

Ruan Tianling had pondered this question too.

"I guess he might have already found a way to treat his condition."

"Really...?"

"Why wouldn’t it be the case? He’s on the verge of death; why step into troubled waters? Obviously, he seeks to survive, hence the effort."

"...No wonder when I suggested Dad could cure him, he wasn’t moved at all."

"Daddy, Mommy—" Ansel suddenly came down from upstairs. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

His little face was serious; it was clear he heard their conversation.

Jian Yufei remembered how well he got along with Nangong Yi; now that he learned about Nangong Yi’s nature, he must be feeling pretty upset.

"Ansel, did you hear everything?"

The little one walked up to them and nodded, "Yes, I heard everything."

Jian Yufei pulled him close and smiled, trying to console him.

"Don’t overthink. Perhaps Nangong Yi was genuinely befriending you."

"Mommy, you don’t need to comfort me; I understand everything. Don’t worry, I’m fine."

This son, sometimes he’s just too sensible.

Sensible to the point of being heart-wrenching...

"Ansel, now you know that many will resort to all means for that position. In the future, stay away from the Nangong Family; don’t let them set their sights on you."

"Yes, I understand."

Ansel looked at Ruan Tianling.

"Daddy, I just don’t understand why Nangong Yi didn’t expose our plot against Nangong Wenchang? Using the Nangong Family’s power to suppress us would surely be more beneficial to him?"

Jian Yufei was also puzzled, "Perhaps he’s worried that his own affairs would be uncovered?"

"He’s so meticulous in his actions, surely he wouldn’t leave any evidence. Daddy and Mommy’s analysis was merely speculation; there’s no evidence at all proving he’s done those things."

"Indeed, why hasn’t he gone against us?" Jian Yufei also glanced at Ruan Tianling.

Could Ruan Tianling say that because Nangong Yi had developed other feelings towards Jian Yufei?

Of course, he couldn’t say that!

"Who knows, perhaps he doesn’t want to make us his enemies." Naturally, that’s also a reason.

Ansel suddenly understood, "That’s likely the case."

Jian Yufei quickly dropped the topic.

"Alright, let’s not talk about these anymore. How they deal with us is no longer our concern; anything related to the Nangong Family has nothing to do with us! Let’s stop mentioning them in the future, okay?"

She truly was fed up with everything from there.

Ansel smiled sweetly, "Yes, we won’t bring them up anymore."

Jian Yufei smiled and patted his head, "Why are you the only one down here, where’s your brother?"

"He’s watching cartoons."

"What cartoons?"

"Teletubbies."

Jian Yufei, Ruan Tianling: "..."

*************

Because Ruan Tianling had returned, their family was genuinely reunited.

With Ruan Tianling around, Jian Yufei felt much more at ease.

At the very least, seeking doctors for her father, arranging the hospital for her mother, or purchasing furniture and similar big matters could be handed over to him to handle.

Meanwhile, she gained more time to learn parenting skills.
