Chapter 405 She was looking forward to that day!
The old man is now most concerned about two things.
First, it's a family business; second, it's Nangong Tianyue.
Achu's words silenced him.
He is eighty years old this year, and his health is deteriorating day by day.
A recent cold was enough to easily weaken him, almost confining him to bed.
Even if he tries his best to live, how long can he live?
Nangong Tianyue is still so young. Although his health is not as good as that of ordinary people, he can live to be sixty or seventy years old with proper care.
If he's gone, who will truly care about Nangong Tianyue?
The old man had thought about this issue before.
Although he had already arranged various funds for Nangong Tianyue, enough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his days.
But he is mentally unstable; what if he is plotted against by someone with ulterior motives?
Therefore, it is necessary to entrust Nangong Tianyue to a trustworthy person.
Therefore, one of the criteria the old man used when choosing an heir was that the heir should not have any ill intentions towards Nangong Tianyue and should be willing to take care of him.
As things stand, while Nangong Tianyu isn't exactly warm and friendly towards Nangong Tianyue, he certainly doesn't seem to have any ill intentions.
The old man looked at Achu, his expression turning completely cold: "Do you think that just because Ayue likes you a little, you can make me look at you differently and choose you as my successor?"
The old man's expression was somewhat frightening.
Even the butler, Uncle Chen, standing nearby, was worried for Ah Chu.
But Achu wasn't afraid at all; her expression didn't change at all: "Of course not."
"I just want to tell Grandpa that you can give me a chance."
"If I am really not as good as my uncles and brothers, you won't lose anything by not choosing me, will you?"
In the end, the old man didn't give Ah Chu a definite answer.
The good news is that he didn't directly reject her or tell her not to have any unrealistic expectations.
For Achu, this was already a big step forward.
She said goodbye to the old man and returned to her room.
Achu lay down on the bed, relaxed her tense nerves, and closed her eyes.
She knew that revealing her ambition to Old Master Nangong today, right after returning from the mental hospital, was somewhat impulsive.
But this may not necessarily be a bad thing.
The old man was indeed sexist, but he valued the family's interests and Nangong Tianyue even more.
Let him know her ambition, even if it's just to give him a little consideration and a chance to show it.
Ah Chu will definitely seize this opportunity!
That's right, the struggle for the position of heir is Achu's revenge against the Nangong Wang family.
What kind of reward would be more satisfying than letting the Nangong family see the heir they worked so hard to win fall into her hands?
She was really looking forward to that day!
Achu's lips curled up, and his closed eyes concealed ambition and determination.
Just then, my phone, which was lying next to me, vibrated; a new message had come in.
Achu opened her eyes.
This phone was given to her by Uncle Chen this morning, and the phone number is new.
Currently, only one person is listed among her social media contacts.
Wen Zhiyu.
After Wen Zhiyu took her back to Nangong Manor in the morning, he left her his business card.
After getting the phone, Achu added Wen Zhiyu's contact information.
However, after Wen Zhiyu accepted her friend request, he didn't talk to her, and A Chu didn't take the initiative to contact him either.
Now, he's taking the initiative to message her.
Wen Zhiyu: [How did you feel about meeting the Nangong family? Was it affecting your mental state?]
It seems that the attending physician was simply concerned about the patient's mental state.
But when Ah Chu thought about their interactions in the virtual world, she couldn't quite see Wen Zhiyu simply as her attending physician.
However, she didn't have the mind to think about anything else for the time being.
Achu typed a reply to Wen Zhiyu: "I don't feel anything, my mental state is very stable."
Wen Zhiyu quickly sent another message: "If you feel unwell, please contact me immediately."
Achu asked: "Is Dr. Wen providing after-sales service for me, his patient?"
Wen Zhiyu: [I suppose so.]
Achu smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you for your concern, Dr. Wen."
Wen Zhiyu: [You're welcome.]
Upon seeing these three words, A-Chu put down her phone and didn't reply.
On the other end, Wen Zhiyu stared at the chat page on his phone screen for over ten minutes without receiving a reply from A Chu.
He frowned slightly, wondering if his reply had been too cold, causing her to ignore him.
Wen Zhiyu hesitated, wondering whether he should send another message of concern to A Chu.
Unlike in the virtual world, Wen Zhiyu was somewhat clumsy, cautious, and at a loss when dealing with A Chu.
In the end, he didn't send another message, thinking that he would send one before going to bed at night, which would seem more natural.
Unaware of Wen Zhiyu's thoughts, A Chu had a restless afternoon nap.
She was deeply immersed in a dream, in which she was framed by Nangong Xueyao and surrounded by Nangong Wang and his men, who looked like evil spirits.
Then she dreamt again of that night three years ago, when that disgusting man pounced on her...
Achu woke up from her sleep with a headache that felt like it was about to explode, and she was extremely irritable.
I really want to do something to release these emotions.
"Knock knock knock"
A knock sounded on the door, and Achu said expressionlessly, "Come in."
Her personal maid, Ilan, walked in.
Yilan arrived at Nangong Manor three months ago. She is about the same age as Achu, has delicate features, and looks very honest and well-behaved.
Achu chose her not because of that, but because she seemed comfortable.
"Ninth Miss, Tenth Miss is back."
"She came to the main building and went to see the old man first. Now she says she wants to see you and apologize to you personally for what happened in the room."
A Chu's expression changed slightly. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Nangong Xueyao is back. Where is she now?"
Ilan replied, "In the small living room downstairs."
Achu nodded, indicating that she understood.
She slowly got up, washed up, and then went downstairs.
In the small living room on the first floor, Nangong Xueyao sat on the sofa with tea and snacks brought by the maid in front of her.
Nangong Xueyao wore a gentle and serene smile, but inwardly she was furious.
Nangong Chu actually dared to make her wait for so long!
Does she think that just because she's moved to the main building, her grandfather will always have her backing her up?
Nangong Xueyao's patience ran out, and she put on a disappointed expression: "It seems that my sister is still angry with me and doesn't want to see me, then..."
"I'm so sorry, Xueyao. I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep. I took a long nap just now."
A familiar voice, with an unfamiliar tone, came from outside the small hall.
Nangong Xueyao turned her head and saw Achu walk in.
When she saw her face clearly, Nangong Xueyao's pupils contracted, and a look of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
The Nangong family has excellent genes for good looks; each member is exceptionally good-looking.
And Ah Chu, in particular, has excellent bone structure and skin appearance!
Even now, so thin she looks like she could be blown away by a gust of wind, and with no makeup, she is still stunningly beautiful.
