Chapter 895: 895、I got my engagement today (1/2)

The announcement sent Huo Chen into silence for the next minute.

“I’ll watch it for you,”he noddingly replied. But the alpha businessman felt displeased at his decision, Huo Chen could sense it from Huo Yunting’s look, “I have to do it. I must intervene in this.”

As a serviceman for the country, I can’t just let a group of people trespass under my eyes.

Especially when the one who made it happen was the one who killed my mother!

“Do whatever you want,” said Huo Yunting flatly and shrugged, “I’ll be going.”

Meanwhile, in a gorgeous manor at a country far away on the other side of the ocean, a man smiled having heard the good news coming from his phone under the evening sun as it shined through the window.

“Thank you.” The phone was hung up. Almost immediately after that, a tall and slender figure grooved in.

Xiang Jinxi watched the door being pushed open as the attractive lady waltzed in with the tail of her light green gown swaying behind. Her hands politely folded in front yet her expression exuded a kind of charm and confidence that only a mature woman would possess. She was graceful yet her face looked dim as she surveyed the Xiang Jinxi’s silhouette.

“I got my engagement today,” she announced the shocking news.

Xiang Jinxi froze upon the update too but his eyes squinted in avoidance for eye-contact as he muttered, “Good.”

“…”

Good? What do you mean by ‘good’?

Our family is rather extensive, that we have lots of relatives from different families yet I was the sole heir to the main family. Ever since I was born, I was told to be the one to bring the capable man into the family to lead the family in the future.

Well, I was okay with the idea at first but I got more fed up with this profit-driven marriage as I grew up. I started getting constantly reminded that it is a man that makes my life as well as the family prosperous, especially after puberty.

I got so annoyed to the point that I left America immediately after a really bad argument with Father one day.

“I’ll NEVER EVER come back to this pathetic family! What for a business to exist if it costs a daughter’s happiness to succeed?”

I even swore to my father so.

And like all sworn words, I broke it.
