Chapter 2: The Engagement Termination Agreement

"Had your fun? Put on your clothes and come to the living room. Let's have a talk." Su Yue crossed her arms, and her indifferent gaze made it hard to fathom her emotions.

Chen Yuxuan was stunned on the spot.

In an instant, various scenarios flashed through his mind. He had expected that Su Yue would cry and wail, or even make a huge scene and throw a tantrum.

But all she said was the轻飘飘 sentence "Let's have a talk". Su Yue turned around and walked towards the living room.

"Yuxuan, didn't you say she wouldn't be back until tomorrow?"

Lin Xiaoyan reached out her hand, attempting to touch him.

Chen Yuxuan avoided her touch with a sullen face and said, "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

Lin Xiaoyan's body froze immediately, and her eyes welled up with tears.

The man who had just said he loved her in bed had changed his expression in the blink of an eye.

"Sorry, Xiaoyan."

Chen Yuxuan ruffled his hair and softened his tone.

For some reason, seeing Su Yue's nonchalant attitude made him feel inexplicably irritated.

All the lights in the living room were on, illuminating the entire space brightly.

Su Yue sat on the sofa, looking around every corner of the house, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of irony.

She had painstakingly decorated everything in the house, envisioning it as their future marital home.

However, during the month she was away on a trip to soothe her emotions, Chen Yuxuan had brought another woman to sleep in her bed.

Chen Yuxuan and Lin Xiaoyan came out one after another.

The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated, leaving the three of them in a silent standoff.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Chen Yuxuan played with his lighter without saying a word. It was Lin Xiaoyan who spoke first, "Su Yue, I was the one who seduced Yuxuan. If you want to blame someone... blame me. I'll feel really guilty if I've damaged your relationship because of me."

She was truly a top-notch "green tea girl", exuding an overwhelming air of insincerity.

Su Yue frowned and gave a disdainful smile.

Chen Yuxuan held Lin Xiaoyan's hand and shot a cold glance at Su Yue across from them, "Xiaoyan, it's not your fault."

Su Yue remained composed and took out the prepared document from her bag, tossing it onto the coffee table.

The words "Engagement Termination Agreement" were particularly glaring to Chen Yuxuan.

Although he didn't love Su Yue, he had never once considered terminating the engagement with her. He never expected that this woman would dare to embarrass him instead.

"Su Yue, what do you mean by this?"

"It's clearly written in black and white on the agreement. The jewelry and bags you gave me during our relationship, converted into cash, are all listed item by item on it."

Chen Yuxuan's hands trembled slightly. He picked up the paper, glanced through it hurriedly, and then tore it to shreds directly, "You think you can call off the engagement just like that? Don't forget, Yong'an Group is still counting on cooperation with the Chen family to have a chance of making a comeback."

Su Yue took out another copy and stood up, looking down at him, "Tear it up. Keep tearing. There's still a whole stack of them. Is that enough for you, Young Master Chen?"

Her features were exquisitely beautiful and almost perfect. Even a faint disdainful smile was enough to make one's heart flutter. Chen Yuxuan suddenly realized that the once-inferior girl had grown into someone he could hardly match.

"The agreement is just for you to look at. There's no need for you to sign it." Su Yue slammed a stack of A4 papers in front of Chen Yuxuan, turned around, took a few steps, and then looked back, "I'll go back to Hangzhou tomorrow morning and make an appointment with Madam Chen to discuss terminating the engagement. She has never liked me, so she will definitely agree."

Chen Yuxuan pushed the stack of agreements away violently, "Su Yue, you'd better think this through. Once the engagement is terminated, the Chen family won't invest a single penny in Yong'an. Just wait for it to go bankrupt, and don't come crawling to me for help then!"

"Bankruptcy is bankruptcy. Anyway, Su Tiancheng didn't plan to let me inherit the company in the first place."

Su Yue didn't care about those family assets.

She had already planned her way out after terminating the engagement.

Selling the house in Jingzhou, plus the shares transferred to her by her grandmother, would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

A marriage in name only is like a tomb, and an unfaithful marriage is even more like hell.

She definitely wouldn't send herself to that hell.

Su Yue opened the door, "Please leave, you two. This is my home. Get out."

Lin Xiaoyan tugged at the hem of her dress, looking extremely embarrassed.

"I'm not leaving. I'm staying right here." Chen Yuxuan was being stubborn, acting like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water.

"Fine. Then I'll call the security guards. You'll be the one losing face then." Su Yue made a move as if she was going to pick up her phone and make the call.

She knew that Chen Yuxuan cared about his reputation.

Five minutes later, Lin Xiaoyan packed her luggage and followed Chen Yuxuan, sniffling and sobbing, out of Wanrong Mansion.

Before leaving, Chen Yuxuan said something that left her puzzled.

"Su Yue, last year when the legal representative within Yong'an was changed, you signed the new legal representative agreement."

"Don't you wonder why your stepmother would be so kind as to give you the position of legal representative?"

"Su Yue, this isn't over. I'm waiting for you to come and beg me."

The night shrouded everything in darkness.

Su Yue didn't bother to think deeply about what Chen Yuxuan had said.

The cozy little home she had painstakingly decorated was filled with the foul presence of Chen Yuxuan and Lin Xiaoyan.

She definitely couldn't stay here for the night.

Su Yue changed the password of the door lock and deleted Chen Yuxuan's fingerprint from it. Then, feeling relieved, she went to stay at a hotel.

In Sanlitun, at the Xiyunduan Hotel.

Su Yue booked an executive suite and checked in.

This high-end and luxurious five-star hotel was one of the properties of the Huo family. The Huo family in Jingzhou had connections both in the political and business circles.

Some people jokingly said that the Huo family was so wealthy that they could rival a small country.

Anyone who had ever done business in Jingzhou or had any cooperation with others would show great respect to the members of the Huo family, no matter how powerful they were themselves.

The family genealogy of the Huo family had been passed down through generations. It was said that several loyal ministers and great generals had emerged from the Huo family hundreds of years ago. In the following centuries, they had engaged in both business and politics, continuing the family's foundation, and thus enjoying a prestigious status and great power.

The old man of the Huo family had three sons and one daughter.

Three years ago, the old man of the Huo family designated the next head of the Huo family - the youngest son, Huo Qingyuan.

He was truly the "prince" of the Jingzhou circle.

Su Yue opened the hotel introduction booklet on the bedside table, and it happened to mention Huo Qingyuan.

Xiyunduan Hotel was affiliated with the HX Group.

Huo Qingyuan was the founder of the HX Group.

The introduction was brief and not detailed enough.

Out of curiosity, Su Yue searched for this "prince" on Baidu, and several lines of impressive information popped up.

[Huo Qingyuan, 28 years old]

[Double degree from Imperial College London]

[Vice President of Huo's Tingheng Company, CEO of HX Group]

[Joined the army in 2012, retired with the rank of Captain in 2014] After searching all over the Internet, not a single photo of him could be found.

Su Yue always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this name. Since she couldn't find a photo of Huo Qingyuan, she decided to let it go.

Letting go of her obsession with Chen Yuxuan.

Su Yue slept soundly until dawn.

The next morning, Su Yue bought a ticket for the earliest flight and flew from Jingzhou to Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou.

Hangzhou was her hometown. Both the Su family's Yong'an Real Estate and Chen Yuxuan's Chen family's Chen Real Estate were located in Hangzhou.

As soon as she landed, Su Yue called Chen Yuxuan's mother as planned and made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near Chen Real Estate.

Huo Jintang arrived late.

This middle-aged woman had taken good care of herself and looked only a little over forty. She was dressed in top luxury brands from head to toe, carried a crocodile leather handbag, and even a casual glance from her carried a scrutinizing look.

When she saw her future daughter-in-law, there wasn't even a hint of a smile on her face.
