Chapter 2607: Chapter 2607: The Most Suitable Candidate
"Cousin, I understand what you mean, I won’t give up that easily."
"That’s good."
Jian Yufei chatted with him for a while, and then Ruan Tianling came back.
Seeing them having a good conversation, Ruan Tianling raised an eyebrow, "What were you talking about?"
Jian Yufei briefly told him the content of their conversation.
Ruan Tianling looked at Nangong Yi and suddenly asked, "You’re not Nangong Wenchang’s grandson, are you?"
Nangong Yi trembled all over, his eyes widening.
Jian Yufei was also shocked, "What are you talking about?"
Ruan Tianling said indifferently, "I had someone investigate, and there’s a rumor that your background has issues.
Years ago, someone even requested a paternity test, but the results proved you are indeed a descendant of the Nangong Family.
Later, I looked into some things and started to suspect that you’re not Nangong Wenchang’s grandson, but you’re indeed Yufei’s cousin."
Jian Yufei understood what he meant.
The implication is that Nangong Yi is his father’s biological child, but not his mother’s.
Nangong Yi calmly admitted, "You’re right. I’m not my mother’s biological child."
"Why is that?" Could it be that his father cheated?
At this point, Nangong Yi saw no reason to hide anything.
"My father once had a first love who suddenly disappeared one day.
After that, he was forced to marry my current mother, and not long after, she prematurely gave birth to me.
But as I grew older, my father saw the shadow of his first love in me, and I looked nothing like my current mother.
My father always suspected there was something wrong with her disappearance, so he secretly investigated and found many clues.
Eventually, he shockingly discovered that I was the child of his first love, not of my current mother.
My current mother actually couldn’t have children, but they didn’t tell anyone.
Nangong Wenchang was ambitious and always hoped to inherit the family, but he was a descendant of Nangong Longer and couldn’t inherit.
The only way was for his daughter to marry my father and have a child with inheritance rights.
However, my current mother couldn’t have children, and it happened that my father’s first love was pregnant, so they thought of this deception.
Of course, after my real mother gave birth to me, she disappeared completely..."
At this point, Nangong Yi paused.
The originally calm voice gained a hint of sadness.
"After my father found out the truth, he planned to expose them, but they secretly killed him when I was just over five.
Everyone who knew the truth was dead, leaving them without any worries, only focusing on grooming me to become the best candidate for the family’s inheritance.
But eventually, I found out the truth because my father had a habit of keeping a diary, and it was hidden in a secret place which I accidentally discovered.
From his diary, I learned of his suspicions, and then I investigated and secretly did a paternity test, eventually uncovering everything."
Suddenly, a smirk tugged at Nangong Yi’s mouth.
"You know, I’m their most suitable choice."
The seemingly incomplete statement took Jian Yufei a few seconds to understand.
The reason Nangong Wenchang groomed him was to make him more eligible to inherit the family.
If he inherited the family, Nangong Wenchang would be controlling everything from behind the scenes.
