Chapter 1732: Chapter 1732: Don’t Be With Me
Nangong Ruyue happily served her some more food.
"Mom, you should eat too." Jian Yufei also placed some food into her bowl.
After eating for a while, Nangong Ruyue asked her: [Does your adoptive mother treat you well?]
Jian Yufei was momentarily stunned; she hadn’t seen her mother from A City in a long time.
"She treats me very well. Even though I’m not her biological child, she still treats me like her own. After Jian Lin’s father died, she still didn’t abandon me."
Nangong Ruyue said with relief: [I’m glad you have such a mother. Yufei, don’t forget, she is also your mother.]
Jian Yufei smiled: "Yes, she will always be my mother."
Nangong Ruyue felt more at ease knowing that even without her, Yufei had a mother to love her, and she wasn’t an orphan.
So she could rest easy leaving them.
...
After the meal, a maid came in to report, "Madam, the young lady’s belongings have been moved back."
Nangong Ruyue nodded, indicating she understood.
Jian Yufei didn’t understand and asked in confusion, "Mom, what does she mean by that?"
[I had them move your things back, you don’t need to live with me anymore.]
"Why?!" Jian Yufei asked in shock.
Nangong Ruyue wrote: [With Ruisen by your side, if anything happens, he can protect you. Don’t stay with me; Nangong Xu won’t target me, but he won’t spare you.]
"Mom, you promised me I could stay by your side forever!"
[I don’t need you to be by my side; if you’re with me, I’ll just worry about you. Nangong Xu won’t allow you to follow me around every day, so the further away you are from me, the better.]
"Mom!"
Nangong Ruyue’s attitude was very firm.
[Don’t say anything further; if you don’t want me to worry about you, just go back. You don’t need to worry about me; I won’t be in trouble. Nangong Xu never forces me to do anything.]
He only threatens her to make her compromise.
Jian Yufei couldn’t persuade her mother, so she had to return to the castle where she lived.
Qi Ruisen was waiting for her in the living room. Seeing her return with a heavy heart, he comforted her, "Madam’s arrangement is right. You will be safer here."
At least he could protect her, and Nangong Xu wouldn’t act blatantly.
Jian Yufei sat opposite him, "But I’m very worried about my mother. Nangong Xu’s target is her; I’m afraid something will happen to her."
"No, Nangong Xu won’t hurt her."
Jian Yufei didn’t know how to explain.
There are many ways to cause harm, and if Nangong Xu forced her mother, that would also be a deep hurt.
Now without Ruan Tianling’s help, and Qi Ruisen’s strength being insufficient.
Jian Yufei felt cornered.
"Qi Ruisen, if Nangong Xu comes after us, don’t worry about us, can you make a clean escape?" Jian Yufei asked him.
Qi Ruisen replied, "If it’s just me, there won’t be a problem. After all, I’m the third young master of the Qi Family; he won’t do anything to me. Why do you ask?"
"I’m afraid if he acts against us, we’ll drag you down with us. Qi Ruisen, if that day comes, don’t worry about us, just protect yourself," Jian Yufei said sincerely.
Qi Ruisen smiled faintly, "I know what to do. Don’t worry too much, give me a little time, I’ll come up with a perfect plan, trust me."
Jian Yufei nodded.
But she didn’t hold out much hope, not because she didn’t trust him, but because she knew Nangong Xu’s capabilities too well.
"I’m going upstairs to rest." Jian Yufei stood up and walked upstairs.
