Chapter 968: Chapter 978: Déjà Vu (6)

Upon hearing his words, Ya Jiayi, who had always been loyal to Situ Xuan, had a gleam flash in her eyes!

However, this gleam flickered and quickly faded into nothingness. Nonetheless, she immediately stepped forward and waved her hand: “You two, please leave at once!”

The two quickly stood up, opened the door, and left. Watching them exit the room, Situ Xuan retracted his gaze and said indifferently, “Such scoundrels aren’t worth your attention.”

“Mr. Situ, they went too far!”

“They’re just scoundrels; don’t bother with them.” Situ Xuan’s expression was aloof.

However, he also felt fortunate.

Fortunate, that before making a grave mistake, before actually marrying Cheng Tingting, he had discovered the despicableness of the Cheng Family!

Cancelling the engagement, though initiated unilaterally by him, would ultimately require the Cheng Family to send Cheng Juye over.

He also knew that Cheng Wanli had come merely to bargain and test the waters. The final decision would still depend on Cheng Juye upon his arrival.

But no matter what, he had determined to annul this marriage! Not for a single second did he wish to be with someone like Cheng Tingting!

Not to mention, that presumptuous Cheng Wanli!

Once he completely severed ties with the Cheng Family — only then could he openly and rightfully pursue Jian Anning, right?

This time, he absolutely wouldn’t let her slip away from his side again!

————————

Outside the door, Cheng Wanli and Cheng Tingting, who had just been kicked out, were furious!

“Brother, did you see that? Did you see what kind of person Situ Xuan is? Back then, you let me replace…” She spoke, and after Cheng Wanli glanced at her, Cheng Tingting corrected herself, “You let me get engaged to a man like him! If I really married him, wouldn’t I be bullied to death by him?”

Cheng Wanli certainly wasn’t going to say that he and his father were worried that Situ Xuan, once he found out about Jian Anning, without the engagement, would be detrimental to the Cheng Family’s development. He only said, “At the time, we just thought he was good-looking, powerful, and also wealthy. We hoped you’d live well marrying him. Who knew…”

“If you hadn’t run off to Huaxia Country on your own, by the time we found her—” Cheng Wanli said, glancing around to ensure no one was listening in, then quickened his steps before continuing in a low voice, “—found her, and shifted everything onto her, you’d be free! But who knew you’d sneak off to Huaxia Country to find Situ Xuan! Who’s to blame for that!”

To be fair, when Cheng Tingting ran off, it was partly out of spite. She could look down on a man her sister didn’t want, but Situ Xuan couldn’t look down on her! To say they were engaged and didn’t even show up, how could Cheng Tingting tolerate such humiliation!

The second reason was that after seeing the photos her father took—Situ Xuan’s majestic and spirited appearance—which touched Cheng Tingting. Of course, later, as someone deeply fixated on looks, she shifted her attention to the more handsome Yu Zexiao. But at the time, after seeing Situ Xuan’s photos, Cheng Tingting had to admit he was a very charming man!

“I was angry too, how could he look down on me! No face shown at all!” Cheng Tingting retorted, “Besides, you keep saying you’ll find her, find her, where is she?”
