Chapter 121 - Then, It’s Considered as Canceling Your Engagement
The father and daughter pair walked up the stairs as they chatted happily.
Zhu Limin, who had been completely ignored by Chi Jiao, looked at Chi Mingwei and Chi Jiao’s backs as they left. She gritted her teeth with all her strength.
She took a deep breath to control her emotions that were about to explode. Then, she looked up and watched them enter the study before picking up her phone to send a message.
[Chi Mingwei seems to know something. What should I do?]
The message had only been sent for less than two minutes when the reply came.
[I’ll see you at the usual place tomorrow. Let’s talk when we meet.]
After reading the message, Zhu Limin gripped her phone tightly as her expression darkened.
No matter what happened next, she would no longer feel guilty. It was Chi Mingwei who forced her!
In the study.
“Daddy, I want to announce that the engagement with the Lan family has been canceled.” Chi Jiao felt that this matter couldn’t be dragged on like this. She had to take the initiative and not let Lan Yunhan be the one to cancel it.
If that happened, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing for her?
When Chi Mingwei heard Chi Jiao’s firm tone, he knew that she had already thought about it.
He was already not satisfied with Lan Yunhan. Since Jiaojiao expressed her desire to cancel the engagement on her own accord, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
Although doing so would be slapping the Lan family in their face and offending them, it was imperative.
“Alright, since you have thought it through, Daddy will support you,” Chi Mingwei said as he took out a very exquisite jewelry box from a drawer under the table. After he opened it, a jade bracelet with great clarity could be seen inside. “This jade bracelet is the keepsake the Lan family gave us. As long as you return this to them, it will be considered as canceling your engagement.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Chi Jiao smiled with curved eyes.
“There’s a banquet at the Lan household tomorrow night. Do you want to go with me?” Chi Mingwei asked gently.
“Is Daddy planning to cancel the engagement at the banquet?” Chi Jiao asked.
Doing so would definitely slap the Lan family’s face harshly.
Chi Mingwei narrowed his eyes, revealing some strange emotions. “The Lan family has always believed that they are better than us in every way. They’re the ones at fault first for this failed engagement. Why can’t we cancel the engagement in public? It will also let everyone know that there’s nothing between you and Lan Yunhan.”
“But what about Auntie?…” Chi Jiao felt that doing so would not only embarrass the Lan family, but also Zhu Limin and Chi Yan as well.
Of course, she didn’t care about them.
She cared about her father’s feelings. Zhu Limin and Chi Yan weren’t pushovers. Who knew what kind of trouble they would cause after this?
“You don’t have to worry about that. Daddy knows what to do.” Chi Mingwei chuckled. He felt that his Jiaojiao was too kind-hearted.
Even now, she was still considering Zhu Limin’s feelings.
Was that woman worthy?
Ever since Chi Yan had unilaterally announced on the school forum about Jiaojiao’s kidnapping, he felt that both mother and daughter were too scheming.
Also, the more he thought about Chi Yan, the more he felt that her relationship with Lan Yunhan was like slapping Jiaojiao in the face.
Were all the men in the world dead? Why did she have to go for Lan Yunhan out of everyone?
This time, he wanted to let Zhu Limin know who had the final say in this family!
“Daddy, you’re really too nice.” Chi Jiao couldn’t help but smile as she said that. She pounced on Chi Mingwei and hugged him. “Daddy, Jiaojiao will also protect you in the future.”
She would never let her father end up as he did in her previous life.
