Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1060

After leaving the nursing home, Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen. The entertainment city project and Ning Shuqian’s changes were clear indicators of the ill intentions of the mastermind. She vaguely sensed that she could not deal with it alone. Hence, she felt that it was time she told Old Mr. Wen about it.

Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family home to look for Old Mr. Wen.

Noticing the sullen expression on her face, Old Mr. Wen immediately knew that she must have been looking for him because of something serious. “Are there news from the investigations about the entertainment city project?”

Ever since Wen Haowen managed to gain the approval of the shareholders, Old Mr. Wen sent people to look into the matter. However, they had yet to find any useful clues.

Wen Xinya nodded and exclaimed, “Yes, Grandpa!”

Old Mr. Wen’s face grew sullen.

Wen Xinya walked towards Old Mr. Wen and said, “Grandpa, I found out that Father has been staying out every night because he went to look for Ning Shuqian.”

“Your father is an imbecile. He actually allowed a woman to manipulate and control him,” Old Mr. Wen said with a sullen expression. That explained why Wen Haowen promised that he wouldn’t do anything that would disgrace the Wen Family. It turns out… he had already reconciled with Ning Shuqian. That was why he was so dauntless.

Wen Xinya continued, “I just went to the nursing home to visit Ning Shuqian. I can sense that that nursing home is not as simple as it seems. Most importantly, Ning Shuqian has changed drastically.”

Wen Xinya explained Ning Shuqian’s changes to him in detail.

“I’ve underestimated Ning Shuqian. Her tricks are shrewd and brilliant.” Old Mr. Wen’s face grew sullen and he was certain that Ning Shuqian had something to do with the exposure of Wen Haowen’s adulterous affair. He initially thought that she wouldn’t be able to stir any trouble after they had sent her to the nursing home to have her mental illness treated. Yet, within just a few short months, she managed to manipulate Wen Haowen again.

However, it was inappropriate to tell his granddaughter some things.

Wen Haowen was in his prime at forty. Ever since he committed adultery and Ning Shuqian was sent to the nursing home, there was no one by his side. No matter how silly Wen Haowen was, he definitely wouldn’t get into other affairs that would ruin his reputation. Hence…

All Ning Shuqian had to do was seduce Wen Haowen and he would lose self-control.

After all, Ning Shuqian was still his lawful wife.

Wen Xinya gazed at Old Mr. Wen and said, “I suspect that Ning Shuqian is the one who manipulated Father into pushing for the entertainment city project. It’s a large scale project which Ning Shuqian alone definitely can’t plan. Hence, I’m guessing that there is a mastermind behind her who’s using her to manipulate Father. The major changes in Ning Shuqian are the very proof.”

She had just turned eighteen and had yet to officially join the Wen Corporation’s management. Hence, it was difficult for her to intervene. The only thing she could do was to raise Old Mr. Wen’s awareness and tell him everything he knew. Only then can she avoid letting the mastermind plot against the Wen Family.

Old Mr. Wen stared at Wen Xinya with an awful expression. Actually, he had been guessing that there was another mastermind, ever since the entertainment city project caused a stir in the Wen Corporation. Hence… he believed Wen Xinya’s conjecture.

Old Mr. Wen took a seat on the couch while processing the information that Wen Xinya had given him.

Wen Xinya said softly, “Grandpa, you probably know that Ning Shuqian has been plotting against me ever since I returned to the Wen Family home. She wants the Wen Family to abandon me and give up on me completely. By then, she’ll be able to manipulate Father and encroach on the Wen Family.”

Having lived a life of luxury for numerous years, Ning Shuqian’s greed grew bigger day by day. When Xia Ruya was around, Old Mr. Wen, Old Mrs. Wen and Wen Haowen doted on her greatly and treated her well. Hence, Ning Shuqian kept her greedy thoughts to herself because she could not find the chance to take action.

However, ever since Xia Ruya became the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family and Wen Haowen became the only heir of the Wen Family, Ning Shuqian began to get greedier and greedier.

Later on, the true heiress of the Wen Family was revealed to be a gangster. The revelation made Ning Shuqian even more greedy. She thought that everything would belong to her once the Wen Family abandoned Wen Xinya.

Old Mr. Wen felt extremely remorseful after being reminded of the past. Back then, he did not approve of Wen Xinya and instead gave Xia Ruya more of his attention out of sympathy. Later on, he still continued to neglect Wen Xinya even after she moved back into the Mo Family home. He only began to find out more when Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian moved out of the Wen Family home.

Wen Xinya continued, “I’ve dealt with Ning Shuqian several times before and I feel that she’s not as simple as she seems to be on the surface. I’m sure someone else instigated her to come up with the entertainment city proposal.”

She had simply said what she should and it did not matter whether or not Old Mr. Wen believed her.

After all, Ning Shuqian was just an uncouth woman and he had never expected that there would be someone behind her. The things that she said seemed rather unbelievable.

Old Mr. Wen nodded and said, “Your conjecture seems to be right. When I was young and in my prime, I offended plenty of people because of my relentlessness. I was even nicknamed ‘Hades Wen’. Perhaps, one of my enemies is trying to use Ning Shuqian to take revenge on the Wen Family.”

Wen Xinya remained silent and listened to Old Mr. Wen’s stories about his past without making any comments.

Although Old Mr. Wen’s guess was similar to Si Yiyan’s, she just had to alarm Old Mr. Wen. Hence, she had reached her goals.

Old Mr. Wen said coldly, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone harbor ill intentions on the Wen Family and plot against us.”

So what if it was because of a mistake that he made in the past? He would atone for his sins by doing more kind deeds. There was no way he would let anyone plot against the Wen Family.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief.

Wen Xinya was glad that Old Mr. Wen had believed her words. The person behind Ning Shuqian had always been one of Wen Xinya’s greatest fears as he posed a threat to her and the entire Wen Family, thus leaving her with no choice but to keep her guard up.

As long as Old Mr. Wen kept his guard up, it would be difficult for them to plot against the Wen Family.
