Chapter 68: The Engagement Has Not Been Annulled

Nie Xi did not seem to notice Xing Shu’s micro-action. She asked, “Do you know Chen Ru raised h*ll in the Xing family?”
Xing Shu replied, “I know. I didn’t answer their calls. What happened after that?”
Nie Xi stepped on the accelerator in anger. “Your parents went to apologize to Chen Ru, but you know Chen Ru’s personality. She’s so unreasonable; insisted that you let her son down. She said that you’re a promiscuous woman and wanted to annul the engagement. In the end, it seemed like Cheng Gang stepped in.”
Xing Shu asked, “Cheng Gang?”
Nie Xi said, “Yes, Cheng Gang stopped Chen Ru, so your engagement with
Cheng Xingyang has not been annulled.”
Xing Shu pursed her lips. Cheng Gang had been fired by Cheng Corporation Group not long ago. He did not want to annul the engagement for fear of being on Old Master Cheng’s radar. Although Old Master Cheng had announced his retirement a long time ago, he still had absolute say in the Cheng family. Xing Shu did not want to be on Old Master Cheng’s radar either.
Nie Xi looked at her. “If Old Master Cheng gets involved, I’m worried that your situation will be very awkward.” Old Master Cheng could ignore the other men of the Cheng family fooling around, but Cheng Lang—his most outstanding son—must not be tainted in any way. It did not matter how Xing Shu and Cheng Lang fooled around in private as long as they did not bring it to the surface before Old Master Cheng. If she harbored any other thoughts, she would be doomed. No one in the Cheng family would stand on Xing Shu’s side, and neither would Cheng Lang.
Of course, Xing Shu understood this; so she had been keeping her emotions in check. If she fell in love with Cheng Lang, she would never be able to escape. She leaned back and wanted to close her eyes to rest for a while, but the car suddenly lunged forward! The huge impact stunned Xing Shu and Nie Xi.
Nie Xi’s car was rear-ended, and the tail of the Maserati was dented. Xing Zewu and Xing Linlin got out of the culpable car that had crashed into them. Xing Linlin seemed to be still in fear and was holding Xing Zewu’s arm tightly. Xing Zewu—with a secretary beside him—comforted her in a low voice.
Disgust flashed in Xing Zewu’s eyes when he saw Xing Shu. “What kind of driving is that?”
