Ling Yichuan snorted, "Who is this? Don’t they know the rules of Jianghu? Daring to run wild in Huaxia Country, do they no longer want to mix in our circles?"
Leng Yunlin sighed, "Never mind, speaking of which, I consider Axuan a friend. He was the one who hosted me when I went to the United States for a business deal."
Ling Yichuan rubbed his chin, "So, the Situ Family really has plans to expand into Huaxia Country?"
Jian Anning was startled!
"Axuan," "Situ Family," "Shangcheng"!
She suddenly turned her head, her gaze burning as she looked at Leng Yunlin, "Mr. Leng, did you just mention Axuan from the Situ Family in the United States? Has he come to Shangcheng?"
Leng Yunlin furrowed his brow, lifted his head, and looked at Jian Anning with a bit of confusion, "You know Situ Xuan?"
"Not personally," Jian Anning also realized her slip-up and immediately shook her head, "but I’ve only heard of his name. He once went to the University of Toronto to give a lecture, which I attended."
Leng Yunlin didn’t think much of it. He "hmm"ed, lowering his head to take a sip of his drink. Then, he looked at Ling Yichuan again, "However, Axuan already has a fiancée. When will you find one yourself?"
"Fiancée!" Jian Anning was dumbstruck! How could that be! Wasn’t Situ Xuan negotiating a family alliance with the Cheng Family?
Could it be that the person engaged to him was Cheng Tingting?
She only knew from overhearing her stepfather that night that the Cheng Family and the Situ Family were definitely planning to join forces later that year. The Cheng Family wanted to enter the United States market, and the Situ Family wanted to use the Cheng Family’s brand and production line to expand their business.
The alliance of the two families was a done deal. As to why the golden bachelor, Situ Xuan, fell into her lap instead of Cheng Tingting, who they valued more, that naturally stemmed from this conversation—
Her stepfather, Cheng Juye, said, "Do you think such an enormous fortune of the Situ Family came from thin air? As far as I know, he’s not only best of friends with the Mafia’s second-in-command but also secretly in contact with Mexico’s top drug lords! In the Asia-Pacific Region, his dealings with the Vietnamese are shady, to say the least. Who knows how many lives he has in his hands! His cousin, Situ Bing, and his cousin Situ Miao attempted to seize his production line when he was just starting out. Do you know what happened to them afterward? Each received a stab and was thrown into the Caribbean, the sea area with the most sharks, leaving no trace behind! I admit, Situ Xuan is a very charming man, but such a man Tingting must never marry! If she gets entangled with him, it’ll be the end of her! No, someone like him should be left for Anning. She’s more composed than Tingting and might just win over Situ Xuan?"
Back in Canada, the Cheng Family simply pushed her out to deal with Situ Xuan. Could it be that after she escaped the wedding, the Cheng Family couldn’t find her and reluctantly had Cheng Tingting take her place?
She knew Cheng Tingting, who always believed that she could choose anyone, and no one could ever find fault with her! In Canada, she was never short of dashing young men with fair hair and blue eyes! Unless it was someone Jian Anning liked, then Cheng Tingting would inevitably come and snatch him away no strings attached.
But this time, Jian Anning had herself fled the wedding, and Cheng Tingting would not likely get engaged to Situ Xuan just to spite her. Moreover, Cheng Tingting didn’t even like the type of man that Situ Xuan was, with his sinister charm.
