After breaking off the engagement, the little mute stopped pretending

Jiang Hua called the Cheng family and asked Si Xue to go to Zhao Fan's house for tutoring in preparation for the math competition in two days.

The Cheng family also made a special call to the Zhao family and asked them to take good care of Si Xue.

Si Xue will stay at Zhao's house for the next two days.

"Oh, country bumpkin is not here, that's great." Cheng Du, who was called back by Cheng Lan through text message, was very satisfied to see that Si Xue was not there.

"How can you talk like that?" Cheng Lan lectured him, "Even if you don't like her, you shouldn't call her by her nickname."

He hoped that Cheng Du would learn to respect others a little and not be so arrogant.

Cheng Du spread his hands, not caring much about his father's teachings.

"Why do you want me to come back?"

Cheng Du sat lazily on the sofa. Without Si Xue at home, the house felt a lot fresher.

"Come back more often to see your mother when you have time." Cheng Lan paused, "When I'm not at home, pay more attention to Cheng Sixue."

That child has too many thoughts.

Even though she pretended to be simple and innocent, Cheng Lan could tell at a glance that she was not down-to-earth enough. She wanted too much and didn't want too much.

This kind of person is not easily satisfied and is prone to having bad thoughts.

Cheng Du's eyes suddenly darkened, and he immediately realized what his father meant. If Si Xue had not known his mother's identity before rescuing her, he would really suspect that Si Xue had other intentions in rescuing his mother.

"Have you also noticed that she is abnormal?" Cheng Du always felt that he was prejudiced against Cheng Sixue. When he heard his father say this, his strange feeling towards Cheng Sixue was confirmed.

She just has impure intentions.

"It's just a guess, I can't be sure, but it's better to be careful. When I'm not at home, you should go home more often. I'm worried about your mother."

He always uses the bathroom on the first floor. The aunt at home has a dedicated toilet and never goes to his bathroom, let alone uses his things.

Although he had someone inspect it, there was indeed a problem with the bathroom in Si Xue's room.

Cheng Du heard something else, "You're leaving again? How long will you be gone this time?"

"I don't know. It's a secret mission." Cheng Lan looked at Cheng Du. "How about you? How is your investigation into Red Star Village going? I heard that Qiang Wei is also investigating Red Star Village. I wonder if your purpose is the same."

"No matter what the purpose is, as long as we are not enemies, that's fine."

The most difficult situation would be if Qiangwei became his enemy.

The topic had gone off topic, and Cheng Lan wanted to say something, but Cheng Du brought the topic back again, "Since you are going on a mission, there is something that needs to be done before you leave."

"What's the matter?" It was rare for his son to ask him for help.

"Come with me to the Qin family tomorrow and cancel my engagement with Zhou Zhizhi." Cheng Du had recently gotten some news about his sweetheart, and he didn't want to have a fiancée hanging around when he found his sweetheart.

The engagement was originally made when they were young. Qin Xian has always attached great importance to the marriage between the Qin and Cheng families. He wants to cancel the engagement, although it is a bit difficult. But if he disagrees, Qin Xian has no choice, but it may offend Qin Xian.

Cheng Du, this bastard, has never taken relationships seriously. He has never mentioned breaking off the engagement over the years. He thought Qin Yue was willing, but who knew that Qin Yue was not the real daughter of the Qin family.

He thought for a moment, “do you like Qin Yue?”

There is really no other way, I can just marry Qin Yue. After all, we are all members of the Qin family, so it doesn't count as a breach of contract.

"I don't even like Zhou Zhizhi, so why should I like Qin Yue?" Cheng Lan felt that if he had to choose one, he would definitely choose Zhou Zhizhi.

"Okay, let's go to the Qin family tomorrow."

Cheng Lan sent a message to Zhou Zhizhi in advance: Come to cancel the engagement tomorrow, be prepared.

-

The next day, Cheng Du and Cheng Lan went to Qin's house with gifts.

Zhou Zhizhi is still studying. Except for Zhou Zhizhi, Qin Xian is at home. Everyone else should go to class or work.

Qin Xian sat in the living room with a gloomy face, waiting for the Cheng family to come and cancel the engagement.

Her daughter's engagement was broken off by the man, and it would be embarrassing for Zhizhi to tell others about it.

He couldn't save his own face, and he was counting on Zhou Zhizhi to rely on Cheng Du. He didn't expect that Cheng Du was determined to cancel the engagement.

Cheng Lan put the gift away and said, "Mr. Qin, I really like Zhizhi, but Cheng Du doesn't have any regard for Zhizhi. Besides, Zhizhi is still young and she is still studying. Now is not the time to talk about marriage. It's not good for her to bear the reputation of being the fiancée of the young master of the Cheng family."

"I mean to call off the marriage, Zhizhi should study hard and not be distracted by other things. If Cheng Du has a woman he likes, then let him find the woman he likes."

"We cannot impose our own wishes on our children, and we cannot ruin their happiness in the second half of their lives because of our ideas."

Cheng Lan is a reasonable person.

Every word he said was to the point and it was impossible to refute it.

Cheng Du hadn't seen Zhou Zhizhi since he came in. His eyes looked back and forth in the direction of Zhou Zhizhi's room, and he didn't take what his father said too seriously.

"Mr. Cheng, what do you think?" Qin Xian still didn't want to give up and set his eyes on Cheng Du.

"Break off the engagement." Cheng Du expressed his meaning simply and clearly without any unnecessary modifiers.

Don't want to waste time explaining.

"..." Qin Xian paused, "I'd better ask Zhizhi's opinion. Zhizhi has a strong sense of self-esteem. I'm worried that she won't be able to accept it."

"Where is Zhou Zhizhi?" Cheng Du didn't see Zhou Zhizhi and frowned slightly.

He had already told her last night that he was going to break off the engagement, but she actually hid herself.

"Study upstairs." Qin got up first, "I'll go call her."

He has come to break off the engagement, and she still has the mind to study?

Cheng Du was in a slightly bad mood, probably because Zhou Zhizhi ignored his instructions.

When Qin went to call Zhou Zhizhi first, she had just scheduled the time to write the competition questions.

Qin Xian was about to open his mouth, but she raised her hand, motioning him to be quiet and let her finish the last two questions.

Seeing how focused she was, even he, her old father, felt embarrassed to disturb her studies.

After Zhou Zhizhi finished the last question, he stopped writing and looked up at Qin Xian calmly: Looking for me?

"Well, Cheng Du brought his father to our house to cancel the engagement, and he needs you to come out and talk." Qin Xian paused, wanting to say something to comfort her. Zhou Zhizhi closed the test paper, stood up and walked towards him.

She said: OK.

Then follow Qin Xian downstairs.

Qin Xian didn't expect that she would agree to cancel the engagement so readily. Girls are shy and it is a shameful thing to be broken off, but Zhou Zhizhi didn't react at all.

Cheng Du, who was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea indifferently, put down the teacup in his hand.

The teacup was gently placed on the saucer, making a crisp sound.

"You know I'm here to break off the engagement today, and you're using studying as an excuse, so how come..."

Cheng Du's tone was unfriendly, "Can't bear to part with it?"

Zhou Zhizhi looked up in confusion.

she does not know.

"Don't pretend." Cheng Du snorted coldly, "I sent you a message."

Oh, Zhou Zhizhi forgot to check his phone.

She said: I didn’t see it.

Okay, she has grown stronger now and doesn’t even read the messages he sent.

Cheng Du picked up the teacup again with a little annoyance, his lips already touching the edge of the cup.

Zhou Zhizhi's sharp eyes locked on the cup that Cheng Du placed on the saucer and pointed: That's my teacup.

The teacup Qin Yue gave her was used to drink water last night. After washing, she forgot to take it back to her room and it was placed in the tea cabinet by her aunt.

Cheng Du's hand holding the teacup froze.
