I Dragged My Fiance's Uncle off the Altar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xing Linlin’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred. Xing Shu, that b*tch! Meanwhile, Cheng Xingyang stood rooted to the ground. He did not know what to do, so he could only look at Chen Ru. Chen Ru’s countenance was also very grim. After tonight, Xing Linlin would become a joke in the Beijing upper-class circle. She quickly made up her mind and came forward with a benevolent expression. “Xing Shu, Cheng Xingyang was in the wrong. We didn’t expect Xing Linlin to be such a person.” She quickly analyzed the pros and cons and decided that they had to draw a clear line with Xing Linlin now.

Xing Shu raised her eyebrows and regarded Chen Ru with derision.

Chen Ru’s forehead was covered in sweat. She grabbed Cheng Xingyangs hand and said somewhat forcefully, “Xing Shu, don’t talk about annulling the engagement. Cheng Xingyang likes you, but he just doesn’t know his true feelings for the time being. The matter between him and Xing Linlin was a moment of folly. You two have to live a good life in the future. Don’t let others sow discord.”

Chen Ru had tolerated Cheng Gangs affairs for so many years, so her temperament could be seen. Now that Xing Shu had received the sympathy and admiration of so many people present, it was right for her son to maintain a relationship with Xing Shu. He must not be tainted with the stain of Xing Linlin. Therefore, no matter how much Chen Ru disliked Xing Shu, she had to endure it. Moreover… She looked up at Cheng Lang, who had been sitting in the corner. Cheng Lang was still wearing the Buddhist bracelet on his wrist, as if he did not see anything at the scene.

Chen Ru retracted her gaze. Xing Shu was now highly valued by Cheng Lang, so this engagement must not be annulled.

Xing Shu did not expect Chen Ru to be so flexible. She replied with mirth. “Madam Chen, it’s a pity that I’m the one who wants to annul the engagement this time.” She looked at Cheng Xingyang with no reluctance in her eyes. ‘Cheng Xingyang likes Xing Linlin. I’m sure he won’t leave her in the lurch at this time, right? He can’t abandon her just because she’s down now. President Cheng is still here. You can’t possibly let him think that his nephew is such an irresponsible person.”

The last sentence was really serious. Xing Shu threw Cheng Lang into the equation and rendered Chen Ru speechless. Cheng Xingyang seemed to have been provoked and said without hesitation, “Xing Shu, my engagement with you is annulled! Linlin is my fiancée. Xing Shu, remember… I’m the one who doesn’t care for you!” His voice was loud and clear, but it was trembling as if he was trying his best to hold back something. He believed that Xing Linlin would not break the law. This must be a misunderstanding. After all, Linlin was so kind. It must be Xing Shu t s doing!

Cheng Xingyang schooled himself as if he was hypnotizing himself. He would never admit that he made the wrong choice, so he tried his best to find excuses for Xing Linlin.

Chen Ru saw red. She had already suggested not annulling the engagement. But Xing Shu-this bastard -actually dared to reject her directly? She felt very embarrassed and raised her hand in anger. However, before her palm could land on Xing Shu l s face, it was intercepted in midair. She looked at her fair wrist and the first thing she saw was a familiar Buddhist bracelet.

No one knew when Cheng Lang made his way over. He grabbed Chen Ru’s arm, his eyes calm. “Had enough?” His words immediately extinguished Chen Ru’s anger. She explained in fear and trepidation, “Cheng Lang, Cheng Xingyang is still young. I… I…”

Cheng Lang let go of Chen Ru’s hand—took out a handkerchief—and quietly wiped his fingers. “Cheng Xingyang is only two years younger than me.” He reminded her lightly, but his words were like a slap to Chen Ru l s face.

Chen Ru’s lips trembled and she did not dare to speak.

When Xing Linlin saw this scene, she became even more determined to win Cheng Lang’s heart. As long as she had Cheng Lang in her corner, these people who mocked her would have to bow their heads to her respectfully! Just wait. Once she had Cheng Lang, she would ruthlessly slap these people’s faces!

Xing Linlin was taken away by the police. Xing Shu also turned around and left. The Xing family’s banquet this time had made the Xing family a complete joke and nailed them to the pillar of shame.

Xing Shu left without hesitation. She had already completed today’s mission. One was to sever ties with the Xing family, and the other was to annul the engagement with Cheng Xingyang. She was in a good mood now, so she could not help but slow down and stroll leisurely. However, after walking for a while, she realized that a man was standing in front of her—Cheng Lang. She did not know when he had left the banquet, and he had even walked the same path as her.

Xing Shu walked over quickly. Before she could speak, she heard Cheng Lang say, “You were in the limelight tonight..”
