Chapter 363: Annulment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mi Na, who came with Bai Ting, couldn’t stand it anymore. In her opinion, Si Cheng had already knelt down. Even if Jiang An didn’t want to be with him, she should have helped him up.
Si Cheng had always been her deepest desire. She could never forget his polite appearance, but now, he was being humiliated by Jiang An.
Mi Na said angrily, “How can you treat Si Cheng like this? This is also contempt for the Bai family.”
Bai Ting glanced at Mi Na in surprise, not understanding why her cousin was suddenly angry. As the eldest daughter of the Bai Family, she did not say anything.
The Jiang family only wanted to humiliate Si Cheng, and he brought it on himself.
She heard everything clearly and they did not mention the Bai family at all. It was fine to just stay quiet at this time. There was no need to go up and ask for a scolding.
Bai Ting no longer planned to marry Si Cheng. Even if the Zou Family pressured her, she could at most become a monk. Such a muddle-headed person could not be her husband.
As for the feelings in the past, Bai Ting could forget about them. After all, she had been taught since she was young to prioritize benefits. Feelings were the most useless thing.
As long as she was still the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she would have a better relationship. This was something she would never lack.
Therefore, Bai Ting had no intention of getting involved in what Si Cheng was going to do next.
At this moment, Zou Bai said, “Mr. Si, you’ve really broadened my horizons. If kneeling is so useful, it’ll be much easier for us to discuss business. We can just kneel down and beg for the other party’s agreement.”
Si Cheng’s face turned red. Zou Bai’s words were too humiliating.
However, he had already knelt down. He could not get up now but neither could he continue kneeling.
Mi Na couldn’t stand it anymore. She rushed over and helped Si Cheng up. “Brother-in-law, you don’t have to listen to them. Since you don’t want a way out, don’t kneel anymore.”
These words angered Bai Ting to death. Si Cheng was not Mi Na’s brother-in-law. They were just engaged and not married yet.
When Zheng Wen, who had just changed her clothes, heard this, she quickly went forward and pulled Si Cheng away. “Young lady, don’t talk nonsense. Our Si Cheng is not your brother-in-law.”
Bai Ting knew that if she didn’t speak now, she would become a joke. With a proper smile on her face, she walked out and said, “Madam Si is right. Her brother-in-law isn’t here.”
After saying that, she turned to look at Mi Na. “Hurry up and come back. Don’t talk nonsense.”
These words contained a hint of coercion. Mi Na knew that her family was relying on the Bai Family, so she should obediently go back, but she still had hope in her heart.
It seemed that her cousin didn’t want to be with Si Cheng anymore, and Madam Si didn’t want her cousin to be her daughter-in-law. Did that mean that she had a chance?
She pretended to be innocent and asked, “Brother-in-law and Cousin are already engaged. Is it wrong for me to call them that?”
She wanted to remind Si Cheng that he still had an engagement and quickly find time to annul it.
Zheng Wen sneered and said, “This can’t even be considered an engagement. The parents of the two families were just joking when they sat together for dinner. Don’t spout nonsense here.”
This was really stepping on Bai Ting’s bottom line. The engagement process between the two families was very formal, and they had invited guests.
Zheng Wen was looking down on the Bai family by saying this. She definitely could not tolerate it.
Bai Ting maintained her elegant demeanor and said, “1 advise Madam to think before she speaks. Many people here know what’s going on. It’s not good for you to spout nonsense here.”
Someone who had attended the engagement banquet said, “1 was at the engagement banquet back then. Why are you saying that it’s a joke now? Why is the Si family so dishonest?”
The others chimed in one after another, feeling that Zheng Wen was mentally unstable after the blow of finding out about the mistress.
Bai Ting listened to the discussion in satisfaction and continued, “Since Madam Si is so dissatisfied, our Bai family is not a pestering family. Let’s end this engagement here.”
With that, she turned to leave. Mi Na pulled her back and said, “Cousin, are you really going to break off the engagement?”
Bai Ting could also tell what Mi Na was thinking. She shook off Mi Na’s hand and said, “What you want to do has nothing to do with me. Just don’t use the Bai family’s name. If 1 find out, your entire family will suffer.”
This was the first time Mi Na had heard her speak so harshly. She was so frightened that she stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. Si Cheng did not expect Bai Ting to be so decisive and say that she would cancel the engagement on the spot..
