Chapter 956: Chapter 966: Annulment of the Engagement (Part 1)

Living in the same house is not an option. In that case, living next door is just as good!

Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the car window: “Mr. Situ, I’ve brought Miss Cheng and Mr. Cheng.”

Situ Xuan’s eyes flashed, then he nodded immediately, and said to the person on the phone: “Do as I instructed.”

After hanging up the phone, he slightly rolled down the car window and saw Ya Jiayi leading a young man and woman over. The woman was naturally Cheng Tingting, and the young man next to her must be Cheng Tingting’s brother, Cheng Wanli!

Situ Xuan had met Cheng Wanli once during a business meeting in the United States, before the Cheng Family had even discussed marriage with him. At that time, he thought that this man was serious about his work and steady in character.

It was partly because of the good impression he had of Cheng’s father and son, making him think Cheng Tingting should also be a well-educated, well-tempered, and decent young lady.

But unexpectedly…

Retracting his gaze, Situ Xuan’s expression seemed neither unfamiliar nor warm—it was definitely nothing like how a “prospective brother-in-law” should feel towards an elder brother!

This made Cheng Wanli quite angry!

Cheng Family cherished this daughter, Cheng Tingting, very much.

Canada is different from home; over there, each household basically has several children. After Cheng Wanli’s parents divorced, a few years later, they married Jian Panying. Jian Panying was very adept, and when she came to the Cheng Family, she loved this son dearly, and a few years later, she had another child, a daughter.

Having a daughter meant there wouldn’t be any competition for the family inheritance. Besides, Cheng Tingting had been close to him since birth. He also liked this younger sister very much.

Moreover, Cheng Tingting was a bit wilful but never made big mistakes. As for her fondness for handsome men and chaotic private life—in Canada, who cares about that?

This time, replacing the runaway bride Jian Anning, she had to reluctantly agree to an engagement with that notoriously fierce man, which was already grievance enough for her. But now, unexpectedly, Situ Xuan was going to call off the engagement!

Moreover, this was after he hadn’t attended his own engagement party, months after the engagement without ever meeting her, and while he was in Huaxia Country, with another woman!

Cheng Wanli’s eyes were dark, while Situ Xuan merely glanced at the brother and sister, completely indifferent to Cheng Wanli’s gaze, but said to Ya Jiayi: “Since Mr. Cheng has traveled from afar, arrange his stay, and we will cover all his expenses for food and lodging.”

Having said this, Situ Xuan couldn’t be bothered to deal with him any further, and it seemed he was about to drive away!

“Situ Xuan, wait a moment!” Cheng Wanli was almost driven to madness with anger, completely unprepared for the fact that Situ Xuan would so blatantly ignore him!

Yes, it’s true that the Cheng Family marrying into the Situ Family is indeed a case of the Chengs aiming high. But isn’t daughters marrying into prestigious families a normal occurrence?

Cheng Tingting was also pampered and adored by the Cheng Family, so even if Situ Xuan was remarkable, so what?

The audacity of him not even moving an inch, merely sitting in the car, without so much as greeting him, his “future brother-in-law,” was utterly lacking in courtesy!

But even as he stood there and Situ Xuan sat, he emitted an overpowering aura that was difficult to withstand!

“What do you want?” Stopped by Cheng Wanli, Situ Xuan was unfazed, his voice slightly deep yet carrying an exceptionally firm pressure.
