Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1352: Old Mr. Wen Visits Her at the Mo Family Home

Wen Xinya had taken Zhou Tianyu’s and Gu Junling’s relationship very seriously.

Gu Junling’s death in her previous lifetime and Zhou Tianyu’s refusal to talk about Gu Junling in this lifetime made Wen Xinya feel a little peculiar, for she felt that there was definitely a link between the two issues.

However, it was inappropriate for her to probe and force Zhou Tianyu to reveal her reasons and difficulties since the latter did not wish to do so.

For the past few days, she had been pondering over everything that happened in the previous lifetime and she tried to find some clues from her vague memory.

However, she had no choice but to resign to fate, because she did not interact much with the members of the upper-class society in her previous lifetime due to the fact that Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya had been plotting against her. She felt indignant, furious and upset about her lack of knowledge of the upper-class society in her previous lifetime.

After she got addicted to drugs, she no longer had the energy to pay attention to those matters.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang led Old Mr. Wen to the living room, thus giving Wen Xinya a great shock. “Grandpa, what brings you here?”

Mo Yunyao’s death caused a strain on the Wen Family’s and Mo Family’s relationship. In the past, Old Mr. Wen rarely visited the Mo Family home, not even during the Lunar New Year. Although there was a slight improvement in their relationship ever since she reunited with the Wen Family, the two families still rarely came into contact.

Old Mr. Mo smiled and said, “I haven’t seen you in several days, so I especially came to visit you.”

Although Old Mr. Wen had been calling her every day to ask about her injury, he was still rather worried because he didn’t get to see her in person. Hence, he decided to visit her.

“Grandpa, I’m doing well. I can eat and sleep well too. I stay at home all day, but I’m really getting bored because of Grampy’s restrictions. Look, I can already get out of bed and start walking.” She then put on her furry, rabbit-ear slippers and paced around the room gently and fluidly, though she still looked a little unnatural.

Old Mr. Wen smiled and said, “You’re recovering rather quickly, but you do look plumper than before.”

Wen Xinya was extremely upset by his words. The thought of Zhou Tianyu making a similar comment two days ago made her feel like she had indeed gained weight...

Their words echoed in her head!

Old Mr. Wen nodded in satisfaction and said, “It’s better to be chubbier. You’ll be stronger too.”

Wen Xinya chuckled wryly and said, “Grandpa, I’ve always been healthy.”

Why do they keep criticizing me for being skinny? I clearly had a perfect figure. I may look a little thin, but I do fill my clothes up well. Besides, I’ve become stronger after the strenuous training that Si Yiyan had put me through in the past few years.

After talking to her about some matters related to the company, Old Mr. Wen’s eyes glistened and he said, “Xinya, I’ve recently investigated on the chandelier incident that took place during the jewelry exhibition. Due to the fact that it concerns the Wen Corporation’s reputation and image, I couldn’t hand it over to the police. Hence, there are restrictions. I didn’t manage to find any leads, so I can only deduce it as an accident for now!”

Old Mr. Wen was well aware that it was not as simple as an accident.

He had also investigated on the history of events that Soaring Public Relations company and Shangri-La Hotel had hosted, only to discover that such major accidents had never happened before. There had never been such issues when the Wen Corporation worked with them in the past years too.

He was merely guessing that the matter had something to do with the Korean-Chinese Alliance previously, but he now confirmed his conjecture to be true.

Even Si Yiyan did not manage to find any leads, let alone Old Mr. Wen. “Grandpa, the result is the same, whether or not we can find any clues. What matters is that we know the truth.”

Even if they had clues, it would be impossible to lure the Korean-Chinese Alliance out. They would at most make Wen Haowen be branded as a heartless father. That would not be advantageous to the Wen Family.

Staring at his granddaughter’s calm expression, Old Mr. Wen said, “Xinya, those reports about your father in the past few days...”

Although they were just rumors, it was enough to make Old Mr. Wen feel terrified. For some reason, he suddenly believed that the reports were real.

He thought that perhaps, Wen Haowen had really taken part in the plotting.

The thought of it made it unable for him to go to bed.

He totally did not expect that Wen Haowen would be so heartless.

Staring at the look of dejection on Old Mr. Wen’s face, Wen Xinya suddenly held onto his cold and clammy hands. “Grandpa, the exhibition was successful and Mother’s last masterpieces managed to create a huge uproar in the world of jewelry design. The Wen Corporation has also attained glory because of that. It’s inevitable that we’d become the subject of envy of others who’d spark controversies around us.”

She did not wish to discuss with Old Mr. Wen about whether or not Wen Haowen had really harmed her. Firstly, she did not have any concrete evidence and secondly, she felt that Old Mr. Wen would not be able to take it.

However, she could not just swallow her pride and accept the fact that Wen Haowen was ruthless towards her. Now that things were unstable for the Wen Corporation, she had to give Old Mr. Wen some mental preparation. After all, she knew what Wen Haowen’s true colors were like and did not want Old Mr. Wen to be given a huge blow when he found out.

Hence, she wanted to make use of Wen Haowen’s ill intentions for blowing up the chandelier incident to deal with him. It would be best for the Wen Corporation and Old Mr. Wen.

“Xinya, your father is willing to let Ning Shuqian manipulate him. I’m afraid there’s no turning back for him now. You... have to be careful from now on.” Although Wen Xinya’s words made sense and allowed him to feel more at ease, he was still rather worried because he could not stop suspecting Wen Haowen.

It was a matter of fact that Ning Shuqian was being controlled by the Korean-Chinese Alliance. who instigated her to manipulate Wen Haowen. Even if Wen Haowen did not take part in harming Wen Xinya, he was indirectly trying to kill her because he did not stop Ning Shuqian.

Wen Xinya held onto Old Mr. Wen’s wrinkly hands and said morosely, “Grandpa, don’t let your imagination run wild. Now that things are unstable, you’re the only one who can control the situation. The Wen Corporation and the Wen Family can’t do without you.”

Wen Xinya knew that Old Mr. Wen had long begun suspecting Wen Haowen and hence, wanted to comfort him because she was afraid that he might take it too harshly.

Old Mr. Wen took a deep breath and got a grip on himself. “Don’t worry, I won’t break down so easily.”

The Korean-Chinese Alliance had plotted against the Wen Family for decades and caused the death of Mo Yunyao, the missing of Wen Xinya, and the changes in Wen Haowen’s character. Now, they even wanted to kill Wen Xinya. Even if they were much weaker than the alliance, Old Mr. Wen did not want to continue tolerating it. He decided to take a gamble regardless of the outcome.
