Fated to My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 1246 - Chapter 1246 Chapter 1246 It Will Also Happen To You

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: It Will Also Happen To You Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: It Will Also Happen To You Jian Yufei’s dulled eyes finally showed a glimmer of light.

“What about her?”

“Everyone in the Nangong Family knows that your mother can’t speak. About twenty years ago, she attempted suicide and failed, and since then she has never spoken again. Her throat is fine, but she chose silence for twenty years.”

Jian Yufei’s eyes widened in shock, “Is what you’re saying true?”

Mi Sha didn’t answer but continued, “She attempted suicide twenty years ago because she thought your father was dead. But she never saw your father’s corpse, only his discarded ring with blood on it. However, someone witnessed him perish in a fire. He should have been burnt to death.”

Boom–

Jian Yufei’s pupils dilated rapidly. Her father… her father… was he really dead?

“How do you… know all this?”

Mi Sha replied with a faint smile, “I am the Chief Assassin of the Nangong Family; there is nothing I do not know. The boss wanted your father dead that year. The assassins sent to do the job arrived just as his house caught fire. He was trapped inside and didn’t escape, and upon learning this news, your mother tried to hang herself but was saved. She wanted to continue trying to end her life, but the boss told her that your father’s body wasn’t found at the scene, that there was a tiny chance he might still be alive. For that sliver of hope, Miss, you have survived, living up till now.”

“…” Jian Yufei felt a heavy stone pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

“They say the fire was so intense, a person could be reduced to ashes, so no one can be sure whether your father is really alive. Maybe he is dead, or maybe he is alive. Anyway, it’s one of the two possibilities. Your mother, for that one-in-two chance, no matter how much pain she endures, chooses to live on.”

“Why are you telling me this?” Jian Yufei stared blankly at her.

Mi Sha said indifferently, “I mean to say that the same thing could happen to you. If something unexpected were to happen to Ruan Tianling, if his life and death were unknown, you would, like Miss, believe that he is alive and keep on living for the chance of his return. Wanting to die but not willing, living yet feeling worse than death.”

“Enough!” Jian Yufei shouted angrily, “Get out, get out!”

Mi Sha gave a faint smile, turned, and walked out.

Once she left, Jian Yufei buried her face in the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.

In a single sentence, regardless of how unwilling she was, how much she couldn’t bear it, she couldn’t reveal the truth, couldn’t place him in danger.

If she wanted him to live well, she had no choice but to leave him, to completely sever their relationship.

Jian Yufei clutched the blanket tightly, her whole body in discomfort.

Even so, she needed to pull herself together, she could no longer wallow in sadness, she couldn’t let herself grieve any longer.

Mi Sha didn’t wait outside for long before Jian Yufei, leaning on the wall, walked out.

She looked at Mi Sha, “Could you lend me a hand? I need to eat and then wash up.”

Mi Sha said nothing and stepped forward to support her.

Ruan Family skyscraper, top floor.

Ruan Tianling had approved the mountain of documents piled on the desk and finally had a moment of leisure.

He leaned back in his leather swivel chair, his thoughts drifting off, beginning to space out once again.

Lately, whenever he had a moment to himself, he would start to daydream…

With a great effort of will, he pulled his thoughts back and pressed the intercom: “Bring me a cup of coffee.”
