CHAPTER 1146: CHAPTER 1157: FAREWELL (PART 3)

He gave another "humph" before striding over. Jian Panying, however, started scolding her daughter as soon as she sat down: "Where did you run off to? Do you know how worried we’ve been, not hearing from you for half a year!"

Jian Anning didn’t talk back to her mother. Although she’d already distanced herself from the Cheng Family in her heart, she calmly and peacefully said on the surface, "I feel like I’m still not mature enough and don’t have enough experiences. So, I’ve been to many places and met many people."

"Without money, where do you think you’re going?" Jian Panying couldn’t help but scold, "How can you be so disobedient! We’ve found such a good match for you, a man with such great conditions, yet you won’t even agree to meet him and just ran off! Not even a phone call to us! What if something dangerous happened!"

Jian Anning just smiled without saying anything. Cheng Wanli, on the other hand, couldn’t wait: "Anning, how have you been living these past six months?"

No money, yet wandering all over the world, dressed so glamorously and appearing before them — wasn’t Mom seeing her with another man, chatting and laughing? Could it be that all of this came from a man?

Jian Anning just smiled: "No money, naturally, I need to work."

She was confident that she hadn’t taken a single penny from Yu Zexiao! Not only that, the bastard Yu Zexiao had also taken her salary card; don’t be fooled by her prepared outfit — it had practically cost all of her cash. It was only after she seized those assets from Jian Panying that she could afford to pay Attorney Li’s consulting fee and the other expenses to return home.

That sentence made the three Cheng Family members a bit sullen. Cheng Juye spoke after a long pause: "Why did you leave home? If you don’t like Situ Xuan, you could have talked to me and your mom first, but you just left without a word and didn’t make a single call afterwards – isn’t that a bit too much! Also, because of your departure, the Situ Family got mad at us, causing trouble for our company’s development now! Without finding you, we can’t give them an explanation."

Cheng Juye’s words weren’t very forceful, instead, they seemed somewhat "submissive," as if trying to evoke her sympathy and thereby loosen her grip on that sum of money.

Jian Anning just smiled, neither apologizing nor explaining, simply staying there awkwardly. Making Cheng Juye not know what to say at all!

If it were half a year ago, she might have been a bit anxious after Cheng Juye yelled at her — after all, he was an elder.

Yet, in this half-year, she had met quite a few significant figures, particularly holding her ground facing Yu Jingxi.

She now said nothing and felt no need to speak. Since the day her mother and he planned to coerce her into marrying Situ Xuan, she’d lost all heart for this family.

Cheng Juye felt somewhat displeased seeing her so elusive! Six months apart, she seemed to have grown a lot!

Jian Anning glanced at Attorney Li beside her, then Attorney Li coughed lightly and began: "Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, our purpose today is to transfer the part of the inheritance from her father’s estate currently in Mrs. Cheng’s care back to my client, Miss Jian..."
