Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1121

Wen Xinya moved back to the Wen Family mansion on the following day.

Mother Wang instructed the servants to help her pack her belongings, after which she said softly, “Missy, Sir returned home last night abruptly and even had a huge tiff with Old Mr. Wen. The two of them fell out very badly.”

Wen Xinya was slightly stunned. Wen Haowen seemed to no longer be as fearful of Old Mr. Wen as he used to be in the past. Since he had brazenly moved in with Ning Shuqian despite Old Mr. Wen’s objections, he obviously wouldn’t return home easily.

Could it be that Wen Haowen was getting up to some funny tricks again?

Wen Xinya asked curiously, “Do you know why they argued?”

After a moment of hesitation, Mother Wang answered, “Sir said that you were an ill-bred child who doesn’t know her place. He said that you disrupted the peace in the Wen Family and that you returned to the family because you were coveting the assets. He even said… that there’s someone instigating you to plot against the Wen Family. Old Sir then flew into a rage and questioned him. The two of them then got into an argument and Old Sir called Sir foolish for letting a woman manipulate him…”

Mother Wang briefly explained everything to her.

Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she thought to herself, Seems like the proposal from Jiayuan Club has already alarmed Ning Shuqian and made her keep her guard up. The rumors about me that have been going around, definitely have something to do with Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian. Wen Haowen may be heartless and cruel towards me, but he still cares very much about his pride. Hence, he definitely wouldn’t dare to go overboard.

However, Ning Shuqian managed to sow discord successfully.

Having found a perfect excuse, Wen Haowen wouldn’t hesitate to go against Wen Xinya.

Seeing Wen Xinya and Wen Haowen go toe-to-toe against each other was precisely what Ning Shuqian wanted.

Seeing that she had understood what was going on, Mother Wang suddenly said, “By the way, Old Sir would like you to go look for him.”

Wen Xinya nodded and headed to Old Mr. Wen’s study.

Old Mr. Wen beckoned for Wen Xinya to enter before saying, “The shareholders informed me just now that Wen Haowen has already submitted an investment proposal. Take a look at it too.”

Old Mr. Wen placed the document in front of Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya could not help but be greatly taken aback. She picked up the document and began reading it carefully.

After the shareholders rejected the idea of the entertainment city project, Wen Haowen laid low for two days, which was to the surprise of Wen Xinya. To her astonishment, he pulled a move out of the blue.

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “Wen Haowen has already found some investors and handed the relevant information over to the shareholders. Seems like… the entertainment city project is definitely going to be carried out.”

Wen Xinya used the expensive budget of the entertainment city and the protection of the Wen Corporation’s interests as a reason to reject the idea of the entertainment city. She had even supported her claims with sufficient evidence in order to persuade the shareholders. Wen Haowen retaliated and managed to find some investors to keep the project going. In that case, the Wen Corporation’s foundation would not be affected. The entertainment city was extremely lucrative and they would still reap benefits even by working with others. Hence, there was no need for the shareholders to disagree.

What a brilliant move.

After reading through the document, Wen Xinya took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen to do that.”

To Wen Xinya’s astonishment, the mastermind actually blew so much money in order to get the entertainment city project going.

It seems that Ning Shuqian’s mastermind was bent on implementing the project.

Old Mr. Wen said with a slight frown, “I didn’t oppose to the project and let them be, precisely because I wanted to lure the mastermind out and find out who he is. However, we’ve still yet to find out any useful leads at this point. If this goes on, I’m worried that the Wen Corporation will never be able to get out of this mess.”

During his younger days, he had offended plenty of people, many of whom took revenge on them in the previous years. Recently, he had been recalling the past and trying to think of who the mastermind could be.

However, there was nothing he could do if there were no clues to be found.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Now that there are investors, the shareholders will definitely agree to it. In that case, we’ll be in no place to stop the project. We don’t know the mastermind’s exact motive yet. I’m afraid that there will be unnecessary trouble.”

Wen Xinya agreed with Old Mr. Wen.

At this point, she really did not have another solution to stop the project.

Fortunately, the mastermind pulled a major move this time. It should be time for Si Yiyan to pull his net now!

She hoped that the outcome would not be disappointing.

Old Mr. Wen asked coldly, “What are your thoughts?”

After a moment of consideration, Wen Xinya asked, “Grandpa, how much do you know about the Zhang Corporation?”

Zhang Corporation was the investor that Wen Haowen had found.

Old Mr. Wen answered, “The Zhang Corporation is a real estate company that has been rather productive in the entertainment industry in recent years. Their headquarters are based in Singapore. They have plenty of resources and they’re nowhere inferior to us. Due to the fact that the management model is different, we haven’t interacted with them before.”

If it was purely cooperation, the Zhang Corporation would be an ideal choice, firstly because of their real estate resources and their experience in business. It was great for both of them. However… the entertainment city project was clearly a conspiracy.

Wen Xinya asked, “What’s the Zhang Corporation’s reputation like?”

Previously, she had tried to stop the entertainment city project during the shareholders’ meeting, mainly because of the issue about the land. However, being a real estate company, Zhang Corporation would solve that issue. Hence, it was the best of both worlds and Wen Xinya had no reason to turn them down.

Old Mr. Wen said, “They’re a promising company, but we still have to check on this in detail.”

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Since there is a budget problem, the shareholders will definitely be even more careful. Besides, the entertainment city project is not a small matter and both parties have to analyze each other’s abilities and there will have to be plenty of compromising and solving of other issues before a consensus can be reached. Let’s lay low for now and find out more about this Zhang Corporation.”

It would require a long time and lengthy processes to establish a cooperation. Due to the fact that there were too many problems with the details, the mastermind would definitely do more to push for the project. Hence, it was a good thing for her.

Old Mr. Wen laughed and said, “My thoughts exactly.”
