Chapter 77: Cancel the Engagement

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Xiao Yao took over the phone from Tang Xi and watched the online video. Then he frowned, took out his phone and dialed a number. When the other side picked up the phone, he said in a cold voice, “How’s it going?”

On the other side of things, Liu Chengyu had arrived at the banquet with Xiao Jinning whose face was beaming with a happy smile. As soon as Xiao Jinning arrived at the banquet, she looked for Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru. Liu Chengyu looked at Xiao Jinning, a cold gleam flashing across his eyes, but soon he regained his cool.

Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru finally stopped quarreling. Seeing Xiao Jinning coming over with Liu Chengyu, Lin Ru suddenly felt that the happy smile on Xiao Jinning’s face was such an eyesore. She clenched her hands. Such an excellent young man should be standing beside her own daughter. Realizing what she was thinking, Lin Ru immediately stopped that line of thought and warned herself: Lin Ru, you finally got to where you are now. You shouldn’t get emotional. Xiao Jinning is more suitable to be your daughter…

But how could her own daughter have been left outside for more than twenty years if it weren’t for Xiao Jinning?

Seeing Xiao Jinning graciously accepting the greetings of others, Lin Ru hesitated again. Only a girl like this was worthy of being her daughter…

But if someone hadn’t mistaken her for her daughter, her real daughter would have been as graceful as she was now!

It seemed that there were two selves inside Lin Ru’s mind. One felt guilty of not protecting her own daughter well, while the other disliked her own daughter because she had become such a country bumpkin.

If… No, there was no if. Although she was her daughter, she had sticky fingers. She made her lose face the very first day she came back, and even… Recalling the cowardly look on Xiao Rou’s face when she saw her for the first time, and her indifferent look when she met her two months ago, Lin Ru felt her heart broken.

She was her mother! How could she look at her with such cold eyes?

Xiao Jinning walked up to Lin Ru and found that she did not look all right, so she asked her with concern, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? You look terrible.”

Xiao Hongyi said sullenly, “It’s the fault of your two cousins! They deliberately annoyed your mom.”

Xiao Jinning was not surprised to hear this. Since they could talk to her like that, of course they wouldn’t be polite to Lin Ru. She couldn’t help but wonder what they said to have annoyed Lin Ru so much.

But there was only one possibility—Xiao Rou.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinning’s face turned pallid and she held Lin Ru’s hand and said guiltily, “It’s my fault. If it weren’t for me, Mom wouldn’t have been ridiculed by Brother Sa and Brother Jing.”

Lin Ru didn’t feel like talking to Xiao Jinning right now, but she relented upon hearing her words. In any case, the girl was brought up by her and now her career had to depend on this girl. At this thought, Lin Ru’s face softened and she held Xiao Jinning’s hand. “You are not to blame for this. It’s the fault of that…”

For some reason, after quarreling with Xiao Hongyi today, she couldn’t bear to scold that child anymore. That child had the right to come back… but now she was no longer with her. How could she still curse her?

Standing close to Xiao Jinning, Liu Chengyu heard the conversation between Xiao Jinning and Lin Ru without missing a word, and he sneered in his heart. He hadn’t realized there was such an excellent actress by his side. If he had found out about it earlier, he would have invested in more movies for her…

Well… but if he had really done so, he would probably have lost money.

Thinking of the money he had wasted on her, Liu Chengyu suddenly felt a bit regretful. He thought Xiao Jinning was his fiance before, so he was willing to invest in movies for her. Even though he lost money, he thought it worthwhile as long as she was happy, but since he knew that Xiao Jinning wasn’t his real fiance, he didn’t want to spend even a penny on her!

He had planned to continue acting with Xiao Jinning, but now he had no interest in doing this.

Seeing that Lin Ru and Xiao Jinning were talking, Xiao Hongyi came over to chat with Liu Chengyu. Liu Chengyu smiled mildly to Xiao Hongyi, but he didn’t feel as intimate towards him as before. He and his family had always deeply valued bonds, whether it be kinship, friendship, love or other kinds of affections, so he got along quite well with his brother. His brother was engaged in the medical industry and never fought for the family company with him. Although his parents had doted on them since their childhood, they constantly told him that Xiao Jinning was his fiance and would be his wife in the future so he had to be good to her, which was why he had always treated Xiao Jinning well and never doubted her.

In the moment he was attracted to Xiao Rou, he thought that he had betrayed Xiao Jinning and his parents’ teaching, so he had been feeling very guilty. However, the truth he heard today made him suddenly feel relieved. It was not that he had betrayed her, but that the person he should have loved was Xiao Rou.

After confirming that he hadn’t betrayed her and that the one he should love was Xiao Rou, everything Xiao Jinning did was such an eyesore to him.

His parents told him that the most important thing for a person in his life was affection. Kinship, love, friendship and all other kinds of affections could enrich your life, sublimate your life and make your life count.

So, shouldn’t he do something for the Xiao Family’s kinship and his own love?

Seeing Liu Chengyu staring at Xiao Jinning, Xiao Hongyi smiled and felt lucky that he made the right choice by not acknowledging Xiao Rou as her daughter. It seemed that Chengyu was deeply in love with Jinning and would never break up with her. If he was stupid enough to acknowledge Xiao Rou and tell Chengyu that she was his fiance, perhaps this engagement would have been annulled.

As Xiao Hongyi was rejoicing in secret at his ‘correct’ choice, Liu Chengyu suddenly looked sideways at Xiao Hongyi and said softly, “Uncle, I think I should cancel the engagement with Jinning.”

Xiao Hongyi’s smile froze on his face and it took a long time for him to react. He frowned at Liu Chengyu and asked in shock, “What did you say?”

Liu Chengyu turned around, looked at Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Jinning, and then said seriously, “I said, I wanted to cancel the engagement with Jinning.”

His voice was not small. Xiao Jinning, standing close to him, suddenly turned pale. She abruptly turned around, rushed to Liu Chengyu and asked incredulously, “Chengyu, what did you say just now?”

Lin Ru also came over, stared at Liu Chengyu angrily and asked coldly, “Chengyu, does your mom know you treat your fiance like this?”
