CHAPTER 1006: CHAPTER 1016: A NEW BEGINNING (PART 4)

If she hadn’t run away from the wedding, how could Cheng Tingting have replaced her to get engaged to Situ Xuan?

If Cheng Tingting hadn’t replaced her in the engagement, how could she have been provoked by Situ Xuan’s disdainful attitude to come to Huaxia Country?

If it wasn’t for her coming to Huaxia Country, and not being able to get along with Situ Xuan—given Jian Anning’s gentle nature, even if Situ Xuan didn’t like her, he certainly wouldn’t withdraw the engagement so easily.

In short, if Jian Anning was the fiancée of Situ Xuan instead of Cheng Tingting, he was ninety-nine percent sure that eventually, Situ Xuan would marry her!

There are some people who, no matter how wrong they are, will only shift the blame onto others without reflecting on their own problems.

Take Jian Anning for example, on what grounds should she arrange a marriage alliance for the Cheng Family? First of all, she’s not part of the Cheng Family; secondly, after being taken in by Jian Panying, the monthly support costs weren’t covered by the Cheng Family but deducted from her father’s estate. Even though she lived in their home for these few years, lodging expenses weren’t calculated, but that still doesn’t mean she should marry away for the Cheng Family!

Even if later, through interactions with Situ Xuan, she did have a favorable impression of him, that still doesn’t mean her marriage could be easily manipulated by the Cheng Family.

However, Cheng Juye was clearly not considering this at the moment. He was thinking about ensuring Jian Anning is brought back soon!

Suppressing his feelings, over here, Situ Xuan and the Cheng Family proceeded with the engagement, even offering an engagement ring. Besides the ring, other benefits were purely commercial cooperation, and as for cash or other dowry, Situ Xuan hadn’t given any, naturally, there would be no return.

After handing back the engagement ring and discussing the aftermath - for instance, the engagement between the Cheng Family and Situ Xuan, although quite low-profile, had been reported by a few media outlets. Though these media were mostly foreign, Situ Xuan hoped they would clarify such matters in the future when going out.

Furthermore, concerning the contracts already signed by both families, they were naturally followed according to existing terms. However, Cheng Juye had expressed wanting to expand in Huaxia Country, and Situ Xuan had shown interest in collaborating. At this moment, as soon as this was mentioned, Cheng Juye immediately spoke: "Axuan, and yesterday I mentioned wanting to discuss cooperation matters in Huaxia Country with you. The market here is so vast, it’s truly enticing!"

Situ Xuan looked at him with his gray-blue eyes and nodded: "Alright."

Business is business, although the attitude of the Cheng Family was contemptible, one cannot deny Cheng Juye has a great business mind and is skilled at business.

At least the sectors he invested in weren’t losing money. The Situ Family also earned quite a bit from their half-year cooperation with him.

No reason to turn away someone bringing money. At this moment, he held the engagement ring, nonchalantly twirling it with his fingers; the silver-white band gleamed under the living room lights: "On this issue, you’ll have to come up with concrete cooperation intentions before we discuss further."

"Of course." Cheng Juye also knew Situ Xuan wasn’t lacking wealth, and there were countless people wanting to make money alongside Situ Xuan.

"Alright. Then I won’t keep you. After a day’s worth of meetings today, I’m exhausted. Jiayi, see our guests out."
