CHAPTER 973: CHAPTER 983: DISCUSSION (3)

If we go by what my brother and father said, it’s really too much of a loss to simply call off the engagement without getting something in return!

Of course, she actually felt that she did nothing wrong. Although she later took a liking to Yu Zexiao, who was to blame for Situ Xuan’s attitude towards her before that? He even had Ya Jiayi follow her around all the time. Saying it’s so that "you can ask her if you need anything." But wasn’t it just surveillance!

No matter where she went or what she bought, there was this persistent woman shadowing her. And Situ Xuan always treated her indifferently. How could she tolerate this?

She also insisted on getting an explanation from Situ Xuan, but the problem was, her brother acted so indignantly, yet every time things got tough, he softened, merely aiming for more benefits. This feeling really made her very uncomfortable!

"Wait a minute!" Cheng Wanli immediately caught up, "No, I just saw someone who looks a lot like Jian Anning!"

"What did you say?" At this, the previously enraged Cheng Tingting instantly stopped in her tracks!

"I’m telling the truth!" Cheng Wanli quickly said, "Just now, I saw a woman who looks very much like her!"

He described her: "That person was wearing a beige long trench coat, a light green suit, sneakers on her feet, long hair flowing. She looked very similar to Anning!"

"You said the person was wearing a beige trench coat and a light green suit?" Upon hearing this description, Cheng Tingting immediately snorted, "Brother, you’re overthinking it, aren’t you? How could that woman possibly dress like that! Don’t forget, her clothes were either black or gray, her hairstyle stayed the same, there’s no way she would go out dressed so brightly, with her hair down!"

This was indeed true. Her father’s death had a great impact on Jian Anning. She always felt guilty, thinking it was her fault that her father and grandparents died. Coupled with living under others’ roofs, her image in the eyes of the Cheng family was always a somber, well-behaved, and quiet girl.

And the colorful, lively character that Cheng Wanli just saw, no matter how you thought about it, didn’t match that silent, usually wordless Jian Anning they remembered, suddenly appearing here, and even changed so much!

"But the woman who just passed by really looked a lot like Anning... It was so much alike!" Cheng Wanli was still hesitating. After all, they had been looking for Jian Anning for more than half a year, and just now, it might have been their only clue!

"Brother, I’ll just ask a few questions." Cheng Tingting said, "Do you think Jian Anning is the type of woman who would dress very brightly?"

Cheng Wanli shook his head, "No."

"Also, do you think that when Jian Anning left home, with the little money she took, she’d be living glamorously in Huaxia Country, completely changed? Don’t forget, no one knows how much money she has better than mom and dad!"

Jian Anning’s biggest source of income was the inheritance her father left her. Although her father had passed away, the company was still developing under the management of a professional manager. Every year when the company paid dividends, the financial department settled the profits, and the lawyer deposited them into her account. However, her card was only a supplementary card, the main card was in Jian Panying’s hands.
