Chapter 1148: Chapter 1159: Farewell (Part 5)

The first person to speak out was actually Cheng Wanli: “Anning, what’s the situation with the other party? How long have you known him before you decide to get married? Now you’re different from others, you have so much money and you’re so naive. Be careful that man might be after your money!”

“Wanli!” Cheng Juye called out.

Jian Anning simply said, “Thank you for your concern.”

Jian Panying said, “Anning, marriage is a major life decision and not something to be trifled with. I know you’re angry with your mother over the engagement matter. But no matter what, Situ Xuan at least has money and power, and he’s a scion of a prominent family. Your Uncle Cheng and your brother have also met him and said he is well-mannered and polite, so his character shouldn’t be bad. Even if you don’t like him now, you can spend some time with him first and then decide if you want to break up. You disappeared for half a year without a word and now you say you’re getting married! Wanli was right just now, you’re simple-natured and have so much money now. If you get deceived by that man, wouldn’t it make your mother and Uncle Cheng more worried? Otherwise… don’t tell him about that money for now, leave it with mom, and I won’t touch your money either.”

Cheng Juye also pretended to be deeply distressed, “Yes, Anning, if you were Tingting, Uncle Cheng wouldn’t say much. She has at least had a few boyfriends and seen the world. But you, you’ve always been so naive and never had a boyfriend. If you’re deceived, won’t it make your mother even more worried?”

Jian Anning kept silent, waiting for the two of them to finish speaking, then asked coldly, “So according to Mom and Uncle Cheng, I should leave my money with you, and you should pick my boyfriend for me? If the other party doesn’t have more money than I do, does it mean he’s just coveting my wealth?”

Jian Panying’s face turned red, a bit embarrassed: “Look at what you’re saying! Mom is doing this for your own good!”

Jian Anning didn’t get angry, but simply said, “Thank you for considering my well-being. However, I still trust myself and I trust him!”

Jian Anning would say no more than necessary.

If it was in the past, she might have been fooled by their flowery words. But ever since they schemed to pair her up with Situ Xuan, she had been disappointed with the Cheng Family.

And now, as she was about to leave, they were still scheming about her money and her lifelong happiness—no matter how magnanimous she was, she would be heartbroken at this family.

“Let’s leave it at that then! Thank you, Mom, Uncle Cheng, and my brother for cooperating today. If I decide to get married, I’ll let you know in advance.”

She stood up, looking somewhat disinterested. However, since she had already secured the money, she couldn’t be bothered to have a falling out with them.

This expression clearly showed she intended to see them off!

Seeing her like this, the three people from the Cheng Family couldn’t hold it together. Cheng Juye wanted to say something more, but she turned to look at Lawyer Li and Mr. Hu: “Lawyer Li, Uncle Hu, thank you for your trouble today.”

Lawyer Li adjusted his glasses: “You’re my client, it’s only right.”

And Mr. Hu smiled, “Yiyi, if you need anything in the future, you can ask Uncle Hu for help! If anyone bullies you or schemes against you, Uncle Hu won’t stand by!”

As he spoke, his gaze directed towards the three opposite, clearly indicating that his words were aimed at the Cheng Family!
