Chapter 756 - Holding a Press Conference?

Wen Xinya gently drew the thin curtains open. It was in the midst of April and the viburnum flowers were in full bloom. They were pure and white like jade, clustered together beautifully with grace.

It was the time of the year that viburnum flowers were in bloom again!

Wen Xinya took a deep breath and the pleasant scent of viburnum flowers wafted up into her nose. It was her favorite fragrance.

She could not help but be in high spirits. She decided to visit her Mother’s grave with some viburnum flowers after Wen Haowen’s scandal blew over.

After freshening up, Wen Xinya headed to the living room.

The sounds of Wen Haowen kicking up a fuss in the living room could be heard.

“Father, are you old and muddled up? I’m in the midst of a divorce with Ning Shuqian and she’s the one who’s going to gain the most out of my scandal. It’s obvious that she’s the one who plotted against me. It’s not my fault at all. Why do you have to make me apologize to everyone and clarify matters in public?”

Old Mr. Wen glared at him coldly. After being punished and lectured, Wen Haowen went on to recuperate for a few days, during which he ate and slept well. He was no longer as remorseful or disheveled as he was at the start. In fact, he was radiant and glowing. Old Mr. Wen could not tolerate it at all.

When everything was peaceful, Wen Haowen would do everything he could to try and give himself credit. Yet, whenever something happened, he would avoid and hide like a coward, leaving it to others to clean up the mess he had created. Even the eighteen-year-old Wen Xinya knew better than to make her family worry for her. Yet, he could still live in peace after creating trouble for everyone.

Wen Haowen was slightly stunned by Old Mr. Wen’s terrifying cold gaze and he sounded much less composed than before. “Father, since the media has already found out everything clearly, it’s obvious that Yang Ziyu was the one who set me up this time. There’s no need for me to make clarifications at all.”

These questions made him afraid.

Old Mr. Wen said in a tone that was as cold as ice, “Now that something has happened, all you do is coop yourself up at home like a coward. You settle all your business in your room and you don’t even care or ask about the company even though you were the one who caused the stock prices to plunge tremendously. You ruined your own reputation and everyone calls you a scumbag now. Yet, you’ve never once stood up to clarify things. I’ve decided to help you clean up the mess that you created, and I seek your cooperation. Yet, you refuse to give in because you find it embarrassing. You’re so irresponsible and cowardly. How dare you have the cheek to covet the position of the Wen Corporation’s successor?”

Wen Haowen was at a loss for words, though his resentment towards Old Mr. Wen grew deeper. He felt that Old Mr. Wen was out to make him look bad, for the matter had already been resolved and yet, Old Mr. Wen still wanted him to stand up and make clarifications.

Wen Haowen’s eyes widened in shock and he exclaimed angrily, “That scheming scumbag Qian Jianhui is just taking advantage of the situation!”

Old Mr. Wen sneered. “If you stand up to clarify things, we’ll be giving the citizens an explanation, and making the shareholders shut their mouths. Once the stockholders amongst the citizens regain their confidence in you, the stock prices will rise again and no one will be able to threaten to encroach on your position.”

Old Mr. Wen glared at Wen Haowen coldly and said, “You’re really something, huh? You’ve been the CEO for over a decade and now that something has happened, you expect me to stand up and support you. Does my pride even still matter?”

So long as he clarified matters and make a stand, he would be able to make himself the victim who felt remorseful and repentant. That was the only way that he could build a positive image and salvage his reputation.

Wen Haowen stared at Old Mr. Wen hesitantly and said, “Father…”

Wen Xinya found Wen Haowen to be a true coward.

She felt ashamed to have a father like him.
