CHAPTER 967: CHAPTER 977: DÉJÀ VU (5)

Cheng Wanli knew that it would be very difficult to get anything from Situ Xuan, but he was absolutely unwilling to give up!

Unwilling to, without getting anything at all, so simply call off the engagement!

So, he deliberately stood up, put on a stern face, pretending to be very angry and unable to accept it, and immediately said, "I cannot accept what you’re saying! Our Cheng Family is not one that you can bully as you wish! Tingting, let’s go! Without giving us an explanation, if you think you can dismiss us just like that, you’re dreaming!"

Though the words were tough, inside and out, it was nothing more than saying: If you don’t give us something, don’t think you can easily dismiss us!

Situ Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. To be honest, although he was stern, he was not a petty person. But precisely, Cheng Tingting and Cheng Wanli’s behavior was simply unacceptable to him! If you say you truly care about your sister and sincerely want to stand up for her, fine, but who knows, he’s just using it as a pretense to gain more benefits! Once discovered, he’d immediately get angry; to put it harshly, he’s lucky he didn’t marry Cheng Tingting, otherwise, if the Cheng Family was like this, they’d definitely ruin him!

— Of course, when he found out not long later that the one the Cheng Family truly wanted him to marry was Jian Anning, he really wished he could toss all these Cheng Family people to death!

If Cheng Wanli directly asked him for money with a villainous face, maybe Situ Xuan would feel disgusted but still pinch his nose and give compensation. But no, he wanted to act like a good brother considering his sister while wanting benefits; there just isn’t such a good thing in this world!

Even though Cheng Wanli was standing and he was sitting, Situ Xuan naturally exuded an extremely powerful aura, making people feel the pressure emanating from him!

With a sneer, he drank all the wine in the goblet, his lips stained with the red wine revealing a hint of seductive color. As he lifted his eyes, his bluish-grey gaze contained a disdainful contempt! Looking at Cheng Wanli, who felt both angry and helpless inside!

"Whatever." He wasn’t someone with a good temperament; from beginning to end, he only showed his gentle and considerate side in front of Jian Anning.

"I will have my father personally resolve this matter!" Perhaps feeling that his own status was not enough to suppress Situ Xuan, Cheng Wanli immediately said. "Tingting is my only sister, I absolutely cannot watch her suffer!"

Faced with Cheng Wanli’s harsh words, Situ Xuan didn’t express much, he simply said, "Jiayi, please see them out."

"You!—" Cheng Wanli didn’t expect Situ Xuan to directly kick them out! He wobbled a bit, never having felt such a sense of disdain before!

However, before he could speak, Ya Jiayi quickly stepped in front of him, extending her arm and making a "this way please" gesture, formally and coldly saying, "Mr. Cheng, Miss Cheng, the door is this way, please go this direction!"

Cheng Wanli glared at Ya Jiayi angrily, gritting his teeth. No matter how displeased he was, he couldn’t stay here any longer at this moment. So, he grabbed Cheng Tingting’s hand and angrily said, "Tingting, we’re leaving! Even if you stay with the Cheng Family for a lifetime, your father and I will not watch you jump into the fire pit!"
