Chapter 986: Chapter 996: A Fleeting Glance (Part 1)

“This child.” Jian Panying smiled, and Cheng Juye, who was initially scowling and ready to scold his daughter, lost his temper when he heard her acting spoiled.

However, he still kept a stern face and reprimanded her: “Nonsense! You ran off to Huaxia Country without a word, and now you’ve caused such a big mess! If anything goes wrong with the cooperation with Situ Xuan, see if I don’t break your legs!”

Although yesterday, Situ Xuan had already told him that cooperation in Huaxia Country was still possible, judging by Situ Xuan’s tone, there definitely wouldn’t be too many benefits anymore.

Although it’s a shame—but there’s nothing that can be done. Ever since Jian Anning ran away from the marriage, the Cheng Family has been on edge, walking on thin ice. They’re afraid that the fact they used her sister as a substitute would be discovered by Situ Xuan, causing even bigger trouble.

But—this was actually a mistake from the beginning. When they arranged the marriage with Situ Xuan, it was agreed it would be a daughter from the Cheng Family, but, even Jian Anning, she doesn’t bear the Cheng surname!

In a sense, this could be considered a marriage deception. Although this time, they couldn’t gain more advantages, at least they established contact with Situ Xuan and used his influence to successfully enter the United States market. This time, it’s the same for coming to Huaxia Country!

Cheng Juye had always felt indebted to Cheng Tingting. After all, he was the one who proposed Cheng Tingting replace Jian Anning for the engagement. He knows his daughter, who was raised pampered, and in front of a man like Situ Xuan, how could she gain any benefits?

Once things fall apart, it would definitely end in chaos, an irreconcilable situation!

The daughter is grown, almost 24 now, and if she marries someone else, maintaining this demeanour would lead to grievances in her husband’s family as well.

Even though Canada is not like Huaxia Country, a marriage isn’t just a union of two people, not even there. With her arrogant personality, it’s challenging to find a satisfactory partner.

This time, Cheng Juye decided to temper her personality properly.

“Dad! I was wrong.” Cheng Tingting also has a knack for reading people, and seeing her father’s anger, she immediately cozied up to him, clinging to his arm coquettishly: “Dad, this time I came to Huaxia Country, firstly to meet that Situ Xuan! I wanted to see what kind of person he is that he didn’t even attend the engagement banquet and ran away. Secondly, of course, it’s for our company! In the past month, I’ve inspected Yancheng and Shangcheng, our ‘Rising Star’ brand targets high-end customers, and I’ve also prepared a market research report, which I’ll give to you later!”

Cheng Tingting is also aware that her father is stricter with her than her mother or brother. She had prepared for this in advance—especially concerning the conclusions drawn from her months of vigorous shopping at every shopping center big and small in Yancheng Shangcheng.

Yancheng Shangcheng is the core of Huaxia Country’s top two cities, and for other brands, let alone, ‘Rising Star’ targets exactly high-end clients, needing only to capture these two cities to have enough revenue.

“What, you can even write market research reports?” Cheng Juye was somewhat surprised. He knew his daughter, smart as she was, would never use her cleverness in the right way—such as managing a company.
