Chapter 910: Chapter 920: Men Work Outside (7)
“This is simply outrageous!” Cheng Juye was furious. He figured that even if their daughter’s temper was a bit difficult, how could she provoke Situ Xuan? To put it bluntly, he was worried about his woman being bullied, so he simply called off the engagement!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Juye, who initially had some blame for Cheng Tingting’s wilfulness, now said nothing.
“Does he think our Cheng Family is easy to bully? Engaging and disengaging at will! And for the sake of a woman, this is absolutely unreasonable!” Cheng Juye said, turning to Cheng Wanli, “Remember, when you go over there, you must ask Situ Xuan clearly what’s going on! If he doesn’t clarify, we’re not done with him! Even if it means not cooperating with him, our Cheng Family cannot be casually bullied!”
“Dad, is this okay? After all, Tingting isn’t…” Cheng Wanli also knew that the Situ Family was not to be messed with! Especially, given the deep ties between the Situ Family and Huaxia Country. They have special channels, as long as they don’t break the law here, the country opens green lights for the Situ Family.
Indeed, as soon as Cheng Wanli asked, Cheng Juye squinted his eyes and said, “Of course! We must ask this matter fiercely! If he wants to call off the engagement, he must at least compensate us!”
Although Cheng Juye sounded righteous, Cheng Wanli understood that his father’s main purpose wasn’t to “seek justice,” but to get “compensation”!
If they could call off the engagement and also receive compensation, the Cheng Family would be thrilled! After all, Cheng Tingting was currently using Jian Anning’s identity to get engaged, and if this gets out, it would not be good for the Cheng Family. It’s better to get a sum from the Situ Family and withdraw gracefully.
In fact, Cheng Tingting had substituted Jian Anning’s identity for the “substitute marriage.” But this troublesome person ran to Huaxia Country and met Situ Xuan. So, the original plan they had, which was to find Jian Anning and naturally have her marry Situ Xuan, was now gone.
Now the Cheng Family either forced Cheng Tingting and Situ Xuan together, let them spend time with each other, maybe they’d get along, and it wouldn’t be too late to explain then.
Or, simply break up like now, and the two separate.
“I understand.” Cheng Wanli immediately nodded, “Rest assured, when I go over there, I’ll help Tingting fight for it! If not, I’ll make sure the Situ Family pays the due price for this matter!”
Jian Panying stood at the side, watching her son and husband discuss, feeling quite worried for her daughter’s safety. Now hearing that her daughter was fine, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
But, her elder daughter Jian Anning, until now, there was no news at all. She listened to her husband’s words and directly used her primary card to apply to freeze her secondary card. When her father died, because she wasn’t legally an adult yet, the lawyer allowed her to hold the primary card as a guardian responsibility. But when she turned twenty-four and could take over her identity, she seemed to sense her daughter’s caution.
Initially, she thought this time, after stopping her secondary card, she would seamlessly return home, but now, it’s almost been half a year, and there’s still no news of her at all. The family tried reporting to the police, and upon checking her records, surprisingly, she had gone to Australia.
