Chapter 859 - The Wen Family… Has a Successor

The Xiao Family’s matter had finally been finalized. Within just half a month, the Xiao Family faced their defeat. Their stocks almost crashed after hitting an all-time low. Hence, the Xiao Family lost their status in the upper-class society and Xiao Zhiyuan managed to keep his position as CEO by a close shave. However, he was not in a stable position, and the Xiao Family would go into hiatus soon.

Although Wen Xinya was young, no one dared to belittle her. After all, she was taught by Old Mr. Mo and had also earned the recognition of Old Mr. Wen.

While having some tea with Old Mr. Wen, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa, this is premium West Lake Biluochun tea. Give it a try and see if you like how it tastes.”

Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “It’s all thanks to the premium tea leaves that allow the tea to be fragrant.”

There were hidden meanings to his words. He had already built a strong foundation for the Wen Corporation, which unfortunately did not flourish in the hands of Wen Haowen. As a result, the Wen Family was reduced to third place in the ranking of the four major families. Yet, Wen Xinya could help take the Wen Corporation to a greater level. That was the difference between the two of them.

Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent.

Old Mr. Wen gazed at her with a look of satisfaction and said, “Secretary Cao has already told me about what you’ve done to the Xiao Family this time. I really didn’t get the wrong impression of you. You’re a good kid who can take on major responsibilities.”

However, things were different now that Wen Xinya had returned to the Wen Family. She had come up with a brilliant plan this time and did not reveal the Wen Family’s hidden powers just to deal with them. It simply meant that she had greater ambitions.

A nobleman once said the same to the world. He said, “My bottom line is to ensure the complete autonomy of sovereign rights. Whoever touches my bottom line will be challenging my rights, and that’s a fatal mistake.”

Old Mr. Wen glanced at her solemnly and said, “It’s good that you can understand what I mean and act accordingly… No matter what, you’re definitely the successor of the Wen Family.”

He sighed and thought about the time when Wen Xinya first returned to the family.

Old Mrs. Wen could not take the blow at all because she had been giving her all to Xia Ruya for twelve years. Besides, Wen Xinya had a shameful past where she used to be a gangster, got into fights, created trouble all the time and was addicted to alcohol. She even had a foul mouth and hurled vulgarities all the time. Her uncouth and boorish behavior made Old Mrs. Wen find her extremely unacceptable. In addition, the juxtaposition to the demure and elegant Xia Ruya, as well as the petty tricks that Xia Ruya had pulled to sow discord, made Old Mrs. Wen develop a prejudice against Wen Xinya and feel repulsed by her.

On the other hand, Wen Haowen was heartless and cruel. Due to his resentment towards Wen Xinya because of Mo Yunyao’s death, he treated her harshly. Not to mention, Ning Shuqian often badmouthed her too.

Back then… he was rather disappointed to see how uncouth his long-lost granddaughter was and even began doubting his decision to reunite with her.

As a result, he treated her rather unfairly at the start.

However, she had never once complained and instead, did her best to gain everyone’s respect and recognition. She also went through lots of hardship and pain to get to where she was today.

He was well aware of that.

“Grandpa, I…” Wen Xinya began to tear up and hurriedly hung her head low before wiping her tears away. As if she was afraid to show her vulnerability to others.

Little did she know, her actions made Old Mr. Wen sympathize with her even more. He wondered if she was often so afraid to show her weaker side.

Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “Xinya, it’s been hard on you.”

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Wen Xinya began to tear uncontrollably.

Old Mr. Wen patted her back sympathetically and tried to comfort her emotions.
