CHAPTER 1005: CHAPTER 1015: A NEW BEGINNING (PART 3)

Hearing this, he simply nodded, "It seems Miss Cheng also wants to call off this engagement. Just as well, we’re of the same mind, with your parents present, let’s just annul it!"

With such an indifferent remark, Cheng Juye, who had been insinuating with his words, and the arrogant Cheng Tingting, were instantly left speechless. After experiencing this, Cheng Juye likely understood why his usually composed son couldn’t help but confront him in front of Situ Xuan. Because his demeanor, the calmer he was, the more it made you seem unreasonable, and the more it emphasized your lower status compared to him!

Facing the Cheng Family, he had this confidence, so he didn’t need to play any tricks. He only plotted carefully when dealing with those who were as powerful or even stronger than him—like Yu Jingxi and Yu Zexiao. As for the so-called rules about respecting the elderly and loving the young, the fact that Cheng Juye was technically an elder he should respect—all that nonsense, he never considered.

"Then let’s annul it! As if I care so much about you!" Cheng Tingting, however, was oblivious, immediately stepping forward to end it.

She also mocked, "You weren’t even there when we got engaged, so why make such a fuss when calling it off?"

"Tingting!" Cheng Juye shouted, "Stand aside!"

"Dad!" Cheng Tingting looked at her father aggrievedly, then glared at Situ Xuan, ultimately unwillingly standing to the side.

Cheng Juye turned back, glanced at Situ Xuan, this time without any gimmicks, simply stating, "Since you and Tingting can’t get along, as parents, we naturally can’t force it. If you also feel that calling off the engagement is appropriate, we have no objections."

"Dad!" This time, it was Cheng Wanli who spoke. Didn’t his father tell him before that even if Situ Xuan agreed to call off the engagement, they should gain some benefits?

Doing it like this, letting go without getting anything, isn’t it too much of a loss?

Cheng Juye glanced at his son, how could he not understand what his son was thinking? But the key is, Situ Xuan is impervious to both persuasion and coercion, and unfortunately, the Cheng Family is somewhat inferior to the Situ Family, unable to assert themselves in front of him.

In this situation, while it’s true Situ Xuan doesn’t care about this marriage, and it’s highly possible he has another woman outside.

However, with his daughter’s temperament, and her interest in Yu Zexiao, letting her stay with Situ Xuan would definitely harm her!

As for gaining any advantages, Situ Xuan is so shrewd, his inner balance is clear, making more noise would only lead to self-humiliation.

"Since Tingting doesn’t like you, and you don’t have much faith in this engagement, instead of forcing you two together, it’s better to part amicably."

Cheng Juye looked open-minded, shaking his head, saying a bit regretfully, "Actually, I truly wanted you and Tingting to be together, but fate was not on our side."

He indeed found it a pity. With Situ Xuan’s abilities, if they could be tied to the Cheng Family, it would be an invaluable asset for the Cheng Family!

What a pity, such a great son-in-law, such a great asset, the hope for the Cheng Family’s rise, was ruined by Jian Anning and Cheng Tingting.

His own daughter, he wouldn’t blame. So, all his resentment was focused on Jian Anning!
