Chapter 780: Chapter 789: Encounter (2)

It just so happened that recently Situ Xuan was working in Yancheng, always busy with the bidding for the water utility contract. Cheng Tingting followed him there, and with nothing else to do, she would wander around the Situ Family’s company every day. On one hand, she was there to make her presence felt, letting everyone in the company know that she was their president’s lady!

On the other hand, she wanted to see what he was so busy with all day long.

It must be said that Situ Xuan only became gentle and considerate when he was by Jian Anning’s side. In front of others, especially in front of the always noisy Cheng Tingting, he was definitely an "approach with caution" sort of imposing figure.

In the beginning, Cheng Tingting didn’t intend to get involved with Situ Xuan in any particular way. She just felt indignant—after all, ever since she was a little girl, everyone around her had catered to her because she was the young miss of the Cheng Family and was pretty to boot, always eagerly waiting on her. Situ Xuan, however, seemed to look right through her as if she were thin air!

In her heart, a competitive spirit began to grow unnoticed. The less Situ Xuan liked her, the more she wanted to capture his attention!

However, she had the vague feeling that Situ Xuan might have a woman he liked!

It might have been intuition, or maybe it was just a wild guess, but she felt it—the woman must exist! And moreover, she was in Huaxia Country!

Originally, this arranged marriage had no basis in affection, so it was normal for the other party to have someone they fancied. Yet, Cheng Tingting had been too well protected by her parents and brothers from a young age, and since she wasn’t a son, she didn’t need to take over the company, but still had her own wealth, allowing her to live a life of luxury and whimsy!

She might not like Situ Xuan, but she would absolutely not allow her "fiancé" to harbor feelings for another woman!

Fortunately, when she first came to Huaxia Country, Ya Jiayi did take her to the villa where Situ Xuan lived. However, she hadn’t taken her to Situ Xuan’s studio. As a result, she hadn’t seen the large poster of Jian Anning that Situ Xuan had made in the studio, and naturally, she didn’t know that her dear sister Jian Anning had also come here!

------------------------------------

So, in the morning, when Situ Xuan was supposed to have that important meeting, Cheng Tingting naturally sauntered over in a leisurely manner.

It was on this visit that she was taken aback!

Because the meeting scheduled for ten o’clock in the morning was now only ten minutes away, and Situ Xuan had not yet arrived!

This was quite uncharacteristic! Although Situ Xuan wasn’t a rigid person, he was known to honor his commitments to timeliness, and he would certainly not be late to a meeting without good reason.

Generally, before recollecting prior to a meeting, he would record his notes; not only would he not be late, but he would also arrive about half an hour early.

Yet, with just a short ten minutes before the meeting was to begin, all of Situ Xuan’s other secretaries were present, and only he was absent!

Everyone was waiting here, but Situ Xuan hadn’t arrived. With the big BOSS missing, how could the others dare to start the meeting? They exchanged looks, trying to call Situ Xuan’s work cellphone, which just so happened to be switched off due to a dead battery.

At this, the others were dumbfounded, and one of the vice presidents asked the group leader who was collaborating with Situ Xuan on this project, "Do you know where the BOSS has gone?"
