Shi Sheng's face was still tear-stained and her eyes were red. She bit her lip and pretended to be stubborn, which made her look especially pitiful. "Auntie, thank you for your love all these years. As a woman, you should understand this. I …"
Her words struck a chord in Madam Nangong's heart.
Nangong Zheng was not as single-minded as Father Xu. He had many women outside, but because Nangong Zheng had always been clear-headed and never allowed them to get pregnant or cause trouble in front of her, she could only turn a blind eye to it. This was what it meant to be in a wealthy family.
But now that she saw a young girl, a girl that she liked very much, about to follow in her footsteps, Madam Nangong naturally could not bear it.
Her lips moved, but in the end, she did not say anything.
"Girl, have you thought it through?" Father Xu asked solemnly.
Shi Sheng nodded. "Yes."
She looked up at Nangong Jing. Her face was heavy and sorrowful, but when Nangong Jing met her eyes, he saw only calmness. Even though there were still tears at the corners of her eyes, there was only calmness in her eyes.
Nangong Jing felt that something was strange, as if she should not be like this.
But when he thought of the possibility of canceling the engagement, he suppressed that strange feeling and coldly met Shi Sheng's gaze.
"Girl Chengyue, this is not a small matter. It concerns the interests of both families. Why don't we discuss this further?" Nangong Zheng thought that if Grandfather Nangong found out that the engagement was canceled, he would definitely be scolded badly. He was most afraid of Grandfather Nangong, so he was the one who did not want Shi Sheng and Nangong Jing to cancel the engagement.
No matter if it was for the interests of both families or from a personal point of view, canceling the engagement was not a wise decision.
If it wasn't for that brat … How dare he cheat in his own house. He was too young and impetuous. He would have to teach him a lesson.
"Mr Nangong."
Chu Tang suddenly spoke, startling Nangong Zheng. He quickly turned to look at Chu Tang respectfully.
Chu Tang's lips curved. "The girl has made it very clear. Mr Nangong, don't interfere with her happiness."
Nangong Zheng glanced at Shi Sheng from the corner of his eye. She actually managed to get Chu Tang to speak up for her …
"I know." Chu Tang was a person who could make you go bankrupt at the slightest disagreement. He didn't dare to offend him.
Other than Shi Sheng and Nangong Zheng, probably no one else knew Chu Tang's true identity. Therefore, Nangong Zheng's subservient attitude made people wonder who this young man was.
But no one dared to ask.
Breaking off the engagement required a press conference, so Nangong Zheng temporarily postponed it to three days later.
Three days was more than enough time for any unforeseen events to occur.
Before Chu Tang left, he gave Shi Sheng a business card. It was a black card with silver embroidery. It was low-key and luxurious, but it was extremely noble.
There was only Chu Tang's name and a string of numbers. It was obviously a private number.
When Shi Sheng got into the car, Papa Xu glanced at him curiously.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Little girl, that man …"
To be able to make Nangong Zheng so respectful, he really couldn't think of who that person was.
"Chu Tang." Shi Sheng pointed the business card at Papa Xu. The two words, Chu Tang, were especially clear in Papa Xu's eyes.
Papa Xu thought about it a few times in his head. Finally, he matched up with the business legend who only showed a blurry side profile.
Chu Tang …
That Chu Tang?
Shi Sheng nodded. Yes, you guessed right. It's that Chu Tang.
Then, Shi Sheng ignored Papa Xu's inner turmoil and calmly entered the number on the business card into his phone. At least that pervert's impression of him wasn't too bad. It shouldn't be too hard to win him over …
It was only when they got home that Papa Xu came back to his senses.
"Little girl … you didn't break off the engagement with that Nangong brat because of him, did you?" Papa Xu's train of thought was very strange.
Shi Sheng's mouth twitched. Was this really her father?
Seeing Shi Sheng's sour expression, Papa Xu thought he had said something wrong. "Don't be sad, little girl. It's that Nangong brat who is unlucky. Chu Tang is a good man. Let's get him!"
Father, you're awesome!
If Chu Tang was so easy to get, then all the women in this world could only buy a block of tofu and smash themselves to death!
Shi Sheng shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to this father of his who had such a strange train of thought. Now that the engagement had been broken, the first task had been completed – to distance herself from that scumbag.
However, if I could step on him a few more times, this baby would be very happy to do so.
Without Xu Chengyue as the catalyst, would the male and female leads' feelings be so strong? He was really looking forward to it!
"Lass, wait for me. Tell me, how did you get to know Chu Tang? He actually gave you his private number. Does he like you? Little girl, work harder and get Chu Tang. Make that Nangong brat regret it to death … "
# My father's train of thought is very strange. How can I save him? Waiting online, very urgent #
# The future son-in-law cheated on his own father but encouraged his daughter to chase another man and return with a slap in the face #
Three days later, the press conference was successfully held.
Back then, the Xu family and Nangong family's marriage had caused quite a stir. Childhood sweethearts, a golden couple, were the typical representatives of this circle.
Now that they had suddenly heard that the two families were breaking off the engagement, everyone expressed their 360 degree interest.
There was no explanation at the press conference as to why the two families had broken off the engagement. The outside world continued to speculate.
And at this moment, the person in question was sitting in a high-end restaurant, staring at a certain pervert.
She had only sent Chu Tang a text to test the waters. She never thought that he would actually reply … Not only did he reply, he even agreed to have a meal with her. This was simply too frightening!
Shi Sheng's lips twitched. "Has Mr Chu seen enough?"
If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to chase you, I would have already punched you.
They had been in here for almost half an hour and Chu Tang had just stared at her, causing her scalp to go numb and her entire body to stiffen.
"You just broke off your engagement and now you want to go on a date with me. Miss Xu, are you not afraid that the media will spread rumors?" Chu Tang's evil gaze swept over Shi Sheng's face, carrying a hint of playfulness and ridicule.
Shi Sheng's left hand pressed down on his right hand.
Hold it in! You can't hit him! That's your future partner!
Shi Sheng's face was stern. "I'm just thanking Mr Chu for speaking up for me that day."
"But I feel like you …" Chu Tang paused, his clear voice rising. "Like you want to hit me."
Why would I hit you! I want to chase you!
"Mr Chu sure knows how to joke." Shi Sheng stretched his stiff muscles and revealed an ugly smile. He changed the topic very abruptly. "Mr Chu, aren't you hungry? Why don't we eat first? "
After sitting here for half an hour, the waiter next to them had already changed his expression a few times.
Most importantly, she hadn't eaten much in the afternoon and it was almost seven o 'clock. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.
"I'm not hungry."
* flips table * Are you even a man? Can't you see that I's hungry?
Chu Tang's voice continued. "I had afternoon tea when I came out."
Damn you! You're having afternoon tea when you're on a date with I! How inhumane!
Looking at the woman across from him gnashing her teeth, Chu Tang was inexplicably pleased. His eyebrows curved and the evil aura around him seemed to have been retracted. At this moment, Chu Tang was like an angel that had fallen into the mortal world …
Shi Sheng was disgusted by this word and decided to eat something to calm his nerves.
