Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo! Chapter 172 - The Anniversary Celebration (Part 5)

Chapter 172 - The Anniversary Celebration (Part 5)

"I believe most of you are aware of the fact that I've been engaged to Mr Su since we were children…"

Shen Fanxing spoke slowly and calmly. She sounded relaxed but everyone could still detect a hint of sarcasm.

As Shen Fanxing spoke, she seemed to be very interested in the LCD screen on the table. Raising her eyebrows slightly, she lowered her head and tapped lightly on the screen.

The ma.s.sive LCD screen behind her flashed and changed.

Her casual curiosity didn't seem too abrupt, and she looked as though she was so laid-back.

If she could break off the engagement, there was nothing else she couldn't do.

"We grew up together. At my coming of age ceremony, we officially announced our engagement and ended our decades of friends.h.i.+p.. From then on, we officially started dating. This year, it has almost been our eighth year…"

Up till now, Su Heng's existence was of paramount significance in her life.

When she was bullied in school, he was the one who protected her the most.

When she neglected her studies, he would constantly nag at her.

When her mother pa.s.sed on, he was constantly by her side.

He was her pillar of support during her despair. To be honest, Su Heng played a huge role in her recovery process.

He wasn't a good-for-nothing.

Shen Fanxing gave a bitter laugh, as her heart ached quietly.

Her heart wasn't aching for the broken relations.h.i.+p with Su Heng.

She couldn't help but think—

Their relations.h.i.+p had gone through several long years. In the end, it drowned.

Regret?

Certainly, it was a pity.

Because eight years of love were gone. And she didn't want the friends.h.i.+p that had lasted for more than a decade.

Shen Fanxing took a deep breath and stopped what she was doing. She looked up with a faint smile on her face.

Su Heng's heart throbbed with pain again when he saw that smile.

That sense of familiarity overwhelmed him and left him feeling helpless.

Shen Fanxing paused for a few seconds before she spoke again. She placed her hands at her side and smiled calmly.

"It's a pity that our relations.h.i.+p had to end. To me and him, this engagement is only a shackle that binds us. Thus, I'll use the opportunity today to announce the annulment of our engagement. This decision fulfills his wish and I'm freeing myself well…"

Her calm voice echoed throughout the hall. Outside, the bustling city was teeming with noise and people, but inside the hall, there was only the lingering coldness of her voice.

Silence enveloped the room. The next second, chatter grew louder and the hall turned clamorous.

Almost everyone looked in Su Heng's direction.

Su Heng felt a sense of relief, but other than that…

His face was full of complicated emotions. The frown on his face made everyone a.s.sume that he was unhappy and embarra.s.sed after hearing the annulment.

The Su Corporation was one of the top families in Ping Cheng City. As a man of considerable wealth, how could he accept that a woman had annulled their engagement?

Looking at Su Bingyou and Cai Jingyi, who stood beside him, their faces didn't look too good either.

The Su family had been thoroughly embarra.s.sed at tonight's anniversary celebration.

Yet, n.o.body knew how relieved the Shen and the Su family were actually, after hearing Shen Fanxing.
