Chapter 2608: Chapter 2608: Only Want to Live for Myself
But after all, he is not Nangong Wenchang’s biological grandson, so they naturally do not want him to truly inherit the family.
After all, one day he will learn the truth and then seek revenge against them.
It turned out he could only live until 21, which was too lucky for Nangong Wenchang and them.
His lifespan is short, even if he inherits the family, he won’t be able to do it for long.
In other words, Nangong Wenchang and the others use him to climb to that height, and without needing to burn bridges, he would automatically be out of the picture.
Such a good thing falls into their lap, what else could it be but luck?
So, for Nangong Wenchang and the others, Nangong Yi is really a very suitable candidate.
He has the bloodline, the eligibility, and can pave the way for them. Deliver Buddha to the West and then roll away himself.
It’s hard to say whether Nangong Wenchang and the others are too lucky or Nangong Yi is too unfortunate.
...
However, Jian Yufei still had many doubts.
"Are they sure you can inherit the family before you are 21? Nangong Xu is still in his prime, right?"
With Nangong Xu around, who dares to inherit?
Nangong Yi smiled: "What they want is nothing but eligibility. As for whether I inherit or not, what does it matter."
"What do you mean?" Jian Yufei still didn’t understand.
Ruan Tianling said calmly: "It means they’ve already found someone to replace him."
Nangong Yi nodded: "That’s right. They’ve found someone with a physique identical to mine. They’re training him to learn what I’ve learned, to mimic everything about me, and after I die, he’ll appear looking just like me."
Jian Yufei was startled—
"But everyone knows you can’t live past..."
"Find a reason, just say my illness was cured by someone."
Jian Yufei was really impressed by those in the Nangong Family.
To her, this seemed like a plot straight out of a novel, and yet they made it a reality.
"Is that why you devised a plan to kill Nangong Wenchang?"
Nangong Yi nodded: "They killed my biological parents, and I didn’t have the right or courage to openly oppose them, so I had to rely on a scheme."
"You could have told my grandfather."
Nangong Yi shook his head: "It’s my vendetta, I only want to avenge it myself."
Jian Yufei really wanted to slap him!
His way of seeking revenge only implicates others?
But they had no relation with him, so backstabbing them probably didn’t trouble his conscience.
"Then why do you want to inherit the family? Nangong Wenchang is dead, why still inherit the family?"
Nangong Yi dropped his gaze slightly: "The ones who killed my parents aren’t just him; I want revenge and can only do it by grasping absolute power. But now, I no longer wish to seek revenge, since the main culprit is already dead."
"My lifespan is limited, and I just want to live for myself."
"Your thinking is correct," Jian Yufei agreed.
His life is already short enough, if wasted on revenge, it would be too unworthy.
Nangong Yi then said with a bitter smile: "But as it seems now, maybe I don’t even have a little time left."
"You’re not dead yet, don’t talk dejectedly! You look tired, why don’t you rest a bit more?" Jian Yufei said.
Nangong Yi nodded and then closed his eyes.
It’s hard to tell if he trusts them greatly, or if he’s really composed, as not long after, he fell asleep.
...
Jian Yufei looked at Ruan Tianling and whispered: "If we can get out alive, I’d like my father to treat him, do you think it’s possible?"
