Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1115

Ning Shuqian was notified of everything that went on during the emergency shareholders meeting in the Wen Corporation right after it ended.

The entertainment city project was put on hold?

How could that happen?

She doubted the words she heard.

What in the world was going on? Wen Haowen clearly said that the emergency shareholders meeting was for the entertainment city project to receive funds. How was the project put on hold?

After hearing the news from Secretary He, Ning Shuqian stood rooted to the ground as if she were struck by lightning.

The entertainment city project was way too important to her.

Without it, she had nothing.

Her position as the deputy manager of the sister company and as a board director in the Wen Corporation would be lost.

The only reason Wen Haowen treated her well and respected her was because of her contributions to the entertainment city project.

Ning Shuqian’s mind was in turmoil when she received the news from Secretary He through the phone. Her mind slowly entered a state of blankness until she heard the name “Wen Xinya”.

She suddenly screeched out. “WEN-XIN-YA! Wen Xinya again! Why is she always haunting me and going against me? That b*tch…”

Ning Shuqian let out all her suppressed anger.

Her eyes bulged out in her rage, with hatred flashing across them. Her face was twisted with anger and she looked just like a poisonous snake living in a dark, rotten den.

The door to the room was pushed open.

Ning Shuqian snapped out of her moodiness. When she turned around, she was approached by a raging Wen Haowen.

His smooth and shiny hair was tousled, his dress shirt tucked out messily, and his tie was dangling around his neck unkemptly. There were even a few missing buttons on his shirt, and one of his pants’ pockets was pulled out. He looked unruly and dispirited.

He cried out furiously, “Ning Shuqian, didn’t you say that this entertainment city project would never fail? How did Wen Xinya manage to catch the loophole in the financial budget of the project, which gave that little rascal the chance to strike?”

When he first received the entertainment city project plan, he hesitated since the scale of the investment plan was too large. However, Ning Shuqian was the one who told him that the project would never fail, which was why he decided to move the project forward. As a result, he offended the old man and started a feud with Wen Xinya. Now, although it looked as if he owned a large share of the company, he actually no longer had any place in the Wen Family.

Looking at Wen Haowen’s contorted face, Ning Shuqian asked, “What in the world is going on?”

Wen Haowen suppressed his anger as he thought of Madam Zhang who was supporting her and explained the situation to Ning Shuqian. “I did not know that that little Wen Xinya was involved with the Jiayuan Club.”

Wen Haowen’s face darkened the moment he mentioned Wen Xinya. He recalled the words she had said to him which cut deep into his flesh. Her last words “There’s really no cure to your stupidity” etched themselves in his mind, making it extremely unbearable for him.

He had always detested Wen Xinya, but now, he hated her to the point where he wanted to rip her to shreds.

After hearing his explanation, Ning Shuqian went silent.

Wen Haowen glared at her resentfully and said, “Why are you not saying anything?”

At this point, Wen Haowen had lost all rationality. Once the entertainment city project was canceled, it would prove that there was really an issue with the budget planning of the entertainment city project. As the one who kickstarted the project, he would be responsible for all the mistakes and the shareholders would be dissatisfied with him. His reputation was going to be ruined among all the shareholders. Even if he owned 23% of the company shares, the shareholders would not let him off. Currently, his position in the company was threatened.

Ning Shuqian suddenly spoke, “Haowen, don’t you think this is strange? How did Wen Xinya become involved with the Jiayuan Club?”

Wen Haowen’s fury dissipated as if somebody had poured a bucket of cold water over him. He replied, “She said she consulted Gu Junling.”

Ning Shuqian laughed coldly. “She’s lying to you. From what I know, nobody in Capital city would dare to offend the big BOSS behind the Jiayuan Club. Although the Gu Family has connections with the Jiayuan Club, they are merely just connections. Furthermore, Gu Junling has not inherited the family business. He doesn’t have that much power.”

Because of her connection with “that person”, she had a lot of information on the ongoings in the Capital city. As such, it was nothing like what Wen Haowen believed.

Wen Haowen’s expression turned solemn. It was obvious that he was convinced by Ning Shuqian. “Then, do you mean that…”

Ning Shuqian replied coldly, “There’s someone supporting Wen Xinya from the back.”

She had always wanted to expose the truth about the person supporting Wen Xinya. However, she did not have concrete evidence. Wen Xinya was also very cautious to not leave any tracks. Furthermore, it was not easy to bring up this topic since Wen Haowen was a skeptic.

Now, the time was right.

Wen Haowen was stunned.

Ning Shuqian continued, “Haowen, think about it. Ever since Wen Xinya returned to the family, she was lucky in everything she did. She was just a hooligan who wandered the streets, how is it possible for her to be so capable? It’s as if whoever went against her was punished.”

Wen Haowen raised his eyebrows, a little convinced. “But…”

Ning Shuqian cut him off. “Haowen, no more buts. If Wen Xinya didn’t have someone supporting her from the back, how would she even dare to go against and belittle you? The old man is foolish and under her control. Don’t ever be fooled like him! This Wen Xinya is obviously scheming against the Wen Family. Why don’t you take a look at how she ruined this family?”

Ning Shuqian understood Wen Haowen and knew what to say to convince him.

“I did not expect Wen Xinya this little rascal to be so capable.” Wen Haowen recalled how fearless and confident Wen Xinya was back in the conference room. She would not even address him as a father, and spoke to him with sarcasm. He was convinced by Ning Shuqian’s words at this point.

Seeing that he was already convinced by her, Ning Shuqian continued, “Haowen, for the entertainment city project, I will ask Madam Zhang about her intentions later on and see if she can help in any way. We cannot let Wen Xinya get her way in taking advantage of the Wen Family.”

The only way for Wen Haowen to abandon his principles and plot for Wen Xinya’s death was to make him believe that Wen Xinya was scheming against the Wen Family with bad intentions.

Wen Haowen let out a gleeful expression now that there was a chance to turn things around.
