Chapter 481 - 479: Canceling the Engagement
There’s no choice, Chen Tianlong had to change his plan. Since it was Sunday, Chen Tianlong decided to head to the slum area and clarify things with Wu Mengting first.
What a coincidence!
Although the last virus incident had passed, it was quite risky. If the Mo Family hadn’t arranged for Dafeng to go abroad early, they could have been tracked down by Zhang Yufei at the Mo Family.
Xu Fei, with his well-connected gossip network, quickly learned that Chen Tianlong had settled the matter, and he was very surprised. After informing Xu Kan about the truth, Madman Xu pondered over his big plan, realizing it was only halfway through, but the current situation was very urgent.
"Xiao Fei, I’ve been thinking for a long time. Given the current situation, you should first establish a good relationship with Chen Tianlong and try to do some things to make him have a favorable impression. Don’t always oppose him; this guy is talented."
Xu Fei started to understand a bit. Opposing Chen Tianlong seemed to bear no good fruit.
And someone as deeply scheming as him couldn’t be so foolish. Thus, he let Xu Fei temporarily put aside the enmity with Chen Tianlong. Anyway, since their Xu Family had withdrawn from the Big Four families, they wouldn’t be under the Lin Family’s watch.
To stage a comeback, they needed to endure hardships, so the best plan at present was to approach Chen Tianlong and avoid any conflict, making sure Chen Tianlong’s hostility was directed entirely at the Mo Family, Hao Family, and Liu Family.
"Master, are you sure? You’re asking me... to reconcile with Chen Tianlong?" Xu Fei thought he heard wrong.
"Yes, whether there’s reconciliation or not isn’t the point. The important thing is to make Chen Tianlong lower his guard against us and not treat us as enemies," Xu Kan explained.
"Alright then, what should we do?" Xu Fei, who spends all day flirting and showing off, is too lazy to come up with a method.
Xu Kan paced back and forth a few times, thought about it, and seemed to have a new idea. So he said to Xu Fei beside him, "I’ve got it. The main reason for the conflicts between you and Chen Tianlong is likely due to the marriage arrangement with Wu Mengting. So, if you actively go to cancel the marriage contract, wouldn’t that make them feel you’re sincerely repenting?"
"Hiss... really cancel the marriage? Wu Mengting is so beautiful..."
"Come on, it’s just a woman, you can find plenty of them!"
Xu Kan slapped Xu Fei’s little head, saying with some disappointment, "Sacrifice brings gain. Looking at the current situation, to gain Chen Tianlong’s favor, the best way is this. However, don’t let any dissatisfaction or selfishness arise."
"Ah, alright, it’s really a pity."
Xu Fei still felt unwilling, as Wu Mengting is indeed a rare gem, pure and untainted, and he already had a marriage contract with her. Logically, it would be easy to win her over, and now he has to give her up, truly reluctant.
"Don’t pity, women, come on, have some ambition, won’t there be lines of beauties queuing up to marry you considering you’re the Young Master of the Xu Family?" Xu Kan, having been through a lot, saw through **** relationships thoroughly.
"Heck yeah, that’s true, anyway, Wu Mengting isn’t so innocent anymore. Rumor has it she’s even had a sleepover with Chen Tianlong." As he said this, Xu Fei was filled with anger. His fiancée actually spent the night with Chen Tianlong, was simply an insult.
After aligning their opinions, Xu Fei took action on the weekend.
He brought some supplements from home, bought a bunch of fruits, and quickly arrived at Wu Mengting’s house in the slum area.
Wu Mengting began hiding in her room and crying from Thursday night onwards, turning off her phone and not eating.
After repeated pleas from her grandfather, Tan Tian, Wu Mengting finally opened the door, but she looked much more haggard. Tan Tian didn’t want to ask much. The one who made his granddaughter so sad must be that kid, Chen Tianlong.
"Mengting, you’re still young, those young people aren’t reliable. Listen to your grandfather, and marry into the Xu Family. At least the Xu Family is wealthy, and you won’t have worries in your next life." Tan Tian advised.
"Grandpa, I don’t want to talk about this, or else I’ll return to my room." Wu Mengting had just come out, and emotions were still stirring. Despite feeling sad this past day and night, every moment of despair she thought of Chen Tianlong’s face, and couldn’t help but keep missing him.
She knew she was already deeply sunk, there’s no saving her.
So, she planned to resume school on Monday and hear him out properly, and even if it’s true, if Chen Tianlong still liked her, she should have another chance to win him back.
After all, she hadn’t used her trump card yet, how could she just give up so easily?
"Alright then, how about this, you finish breakfast, and follow me to the medicine garden. A bit of work will make you forget all unhappy things." Tan Tian felt heartbroken seeing his granddaughter’s haggard face.
Wu Mengting nodded, indeed, after finishing a big bowl of noodles, her complexion slowly returned to normal.
Just as the two were about to set off to the garden, a car appeared at the door. Wu Mengting was excited, thinking it was Chen Tianlong, hurriedly ran out, and saw it was an Audi.
Chen Tianlong’s car is a BMW, and this car was an Audi, likely not Chen Tianlong.
Wu Mengting was puzzled about who would drive here early in the morning; only their family lived here, and people who drove in on this narrow path were generally relatives or friends.
"Mengting, morning!"
While Wu Mengting was in a dilemma, a familiar voice suddenly came over. Xu Fei, carrying a bunch of things, walked over with a grin.
At this moment, Xu Fei’s eyes were less stern and didn’t have that lecherous expression; instead, he seemed more like a good friend.
Wu Mengting frowned, puzzled about what Xu Fei was up to.
"Xu Fei, why are you at my house?" Wu Mengting showed no expression, not believing Xu Fei had any good intentions coming here.
"I’m here..."
"Eh? Isn’t this Young Master Xu? Why did you personally come to visit us, come on in, please!" Hearing this, Tan Tian came out and saw Xu Fei, quickly invited him in.
"Hehe, alright, alright, Elder Tan, I brought some small gifts, please accept them." Xu Fei smiled, handed over the items, and followed Tan Tian into the house.
Wu Mengting took a deep breath and followed them, wanting to find out Xu Fei’s true purpose.
"Xu Fei, what exactly do you want, just say it!" Wu Mengting held animosity toward Xu Fei, so her attitude was stiff.
"Mengting, be polite to Young Master Xu." Tan Tian frowned. These people were from influential families, and his granddaughter was with Chen Tianlong, they were fortunate he didn’t come stirring trouble, yet she still showed such a poor attitude.
"Ha, it doesn’t matter, Mengting is just like this, but I’m here today to cancel the marriage contract, and I’ll leave afterward, won’t take much of your time." Xu Fei said directly.
"Ah?"
Including Wu Mengting, both father and daughter were dumbfounded.
Never seen someone cancel a marriage contract in such a grand way, delivering so many gifts.
