CHAPTER 1152: CHAPTER 1163: SURPRISE (PART 1)

"Mom, you’ll have to help me with this!"

"Help you? You saw it too; Anning looks at me like a stranger!" Jian Panying thought of her usually quiet daughter, now so sharp! Especially her unwavering expression. It’s as if she’s completely immune to persuasion or force!

Even though she clearly doesn’t respect you, on the surface, there’s not a single fault you can point to. This feeling of being so frustrated inside yet having nowhere to channel that anger is really infuriating!

What’s more, she was so well-prepared, with a lawyer and witnesses accompanying her the whole time. Even one phone call, and she can summon a crowd to back her up. He’s not stupid; those people weren’t there to help with the move, just to intervene if things went awry!

"No matter what, you are still her mother!" Cheng Wanli thought for a moment. "Besides, if Anning marries into our family, with Mom and Dad watching over her, how could I possibly treat her badly? You, Mom, can always take care of her; wouldn’t that be killing many birds with one stone?"

What he was really thinking was that Jian Anning’s beauty was secondary; the key was that he just saw an account balance! The assets Jian Anning inherited, up until now, have amounted to billions of Canadian Dollars! Though it’s a bit less compared to the Cheng Family, all this money is hers!

If he marries her, all that money can be his!

Plus, she’s currently beautiful, her figure is great, and he knows her character; she’s certainly not the type to fool around outside. Bringing her home would surely make her the ideal wife, the perfect homemaker!

Cheng Juye quickly realized this as well; indeed, with Jian Anning having so much money, if they secured her, the Cheng family’s future would be set! Would they still need to pray for divine intervention to get investments? He could soon become a ruler in Huaxia Country!

Moreover, if he really marries her, wouldn’t her fate be in his hands?

He wanted to see how Jian Anning would dare to defy him!

Thinking about this, he turned to persuade once more: "Indeed. Panying, think about it, Anning has lived in our household for ten years. Apart from this case of her marriage where I have some selfish intentions, have I ever treated her badly?"

True, although Jian Anning’s tuition, living expenses, and other fees for high school and college were paid by his father’s money, living at the Cheng Family meant she didn’t have to pay for food, clothes, and miscellaneous expenses.

Adding one person just meant one more pair of chopsticks and another room to stay in. To ordinary families, this could be quite an expense. But for the Cheng Family, it’s simply supporting one more idle person.

After graduation, she likewise joined the Cheng family’s company. Deliberately he did not mention that over the years, they used Jian Anning’s money in emergencies and later repaid it. Plus, through her, they became suppliers to her father’s company and made a lot of money.

On the surface, the Cheng family might appear somewhat indifferent to her, but at least you couldn’t find fault with them.

If it weren’t for this engagement that had such a huge impact on Jian Anning, perhaps she would still respect her mother and Cheng Juye deeply in her heart?
