Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1492-30041322

Wen Xinya wore a loose-fitting silver jacket, with an inner red tee with ruffled collars, a simple yet elegant attire, complementing her shapely physique. This was paired with jeans of the same color; its beautiful cutting fitted her slender and gorgeous legs perfectly, making it look longer and slimmer.

The popularity and trendiness of silver was a product of the modern city and was the color that was at the forefront of the fashion scene and was highly popular amongst the people. The color encompassed a sort of richness that included elements of efficiency, health, positivity, and passion. This allowed the color to seem steady, humble, mature, conservative, safe and reliable.

Of course, the cool, elegant, and posh nature of silver allowed it to have a sort of classy fashion that other colors did not have.

At Wen Xinya’s age, donning silver did not make her seem too guarded or old-fashioned, but rather, the fold on her pants at her ankles revealed the red on the inside, matching with her red blouse, complementing each other well. This allowed her to look mature yet modern and caused her to look youthful and beautiful.

Her entire set of finely designed jewelry was also backed by silver, boldened by red, causing her to look elegant and classy, intricately beautiful, yet not losing her posh aura, with a vibe of a professional.

She stood quietly amongst all of the journalists, posh and natural, radiating an aura of confidence, making her seem as if she was shining with elegance, being the center of attention.

Time passed really quickly, and the journalists still wanted to ask more questions about Wen Xinya’s Milan’s Expo Jewelry Design Competition details, but Wen Xinya was already rejecting all questions. The persistence of the journalists was only blocked by Secretary Cao.

In the end, the journalists had no choice but to leave.

At this time, Wen Xinya and Secretary Cao had already walked into the Wen Corporation’s lobby, and the employees walking by greeted Wen Xinya heartily and quickly.

“Hello, Lady Wen!”

“Good afternoon, Lady Wen!”

…

Wen Xinya was clear that everyone’s attitude towards her represented the Wen Corporation’s view towards her, where the fact that she made it in there on her own merits was a marker towards her position in the company. To the future president of the Wen Corporation, everyone was more than happy to put their best on display and greet their future boss.

Those who used to doubt her, view her with distrust, jealousy or didn’t care about her, had a complete change of attitude towards her after she joined the board of directors. Therefore, she simply replied with an elegant and posh smile towards everyone’s greetings.

A female in her late twenties clothed in black uniform then approached her. “Miss, I am the director’s assistant, surnamed Yang. Director instructed me to pick you up, please follow me.”

Assistant Yang’s attitude towards Wen Xinya was one of respect, with a tinge of fervor at an appropriate level. She displayed herself positively in front of Wen Xinya, creating a favorable impression of herself without much reason to dislike her. She was really a professional at keeping up this sort of image.

“Thanks for the trouble!” Wen Xinya nodded with a smile on her face.

She postulated that the reason grandfather would send someone to personally fetch her was to prevent anyone from approaching her separately to cause any complications within the board of directors.

At this point, Wen Xinya suddenly thought of the first time when she joined the board of directors’ meeting, where Wen Haowen allowed journalists to surround and block her downstairs and even meddled with the private elevator, which caused her to almost be late, which could have been a point of contention about her.

Assistant Yang brought Wen Xinya into the elevator and said, “The board of directors’ meeting will officially start in about five minutes. Right now, all of the members on the board have all arrived, and the chairman will personally facilitate today’s meeting of introduction.”

As Chairman Wen’s assistant, she was naturally relatively intelligent, and after all these years, she had seen for herself that no matter how hard CEO Wen worked and struggled in a bid to use his position to suppress and reduce Lady Wen’s influence, he was unable to surpass Lady Wen’s standing given that she had Chairmen Wen’s support and that she was talented and capable. In the future, control of the Wen Corporation would eventually be handed over to her.

Therefore, she must claim her place in the organization as early as possible.

The earlier she positioned herself well, the higher the chance that she would be a highly valued employee in the future.

“Has CEO Wen arrived?” she asked. Wen Xinya did not know what Assistant Yang was currently thinking, and even if she did know, she wouldn’t bother about it too much. The people around Grandpa were all talented and capable of doing great things, such as Secretary Cao, and she never once doubted this view.

There was a weird look in Assistant Yang’s face, and when she was about to answer, the elevator opened with a “Ding”, and coincidentally, Wen Haowen walked out from the other elevator. At that moment, the father and daughter pair faced each other directly.

Assistant Yang took a heave of relief, while also secretly sighing about how unlucky she was.

She totally did not want to see their clash.

Yet, Wen Xinya simply raised her eyebrows a little, with a slight smirk on her face. “Good afternoon, Dad!”

She was not wrong, Wen Haowen wouldn’t just follow the instructions and be punctual for today’s board of directors’ introduction meeting. She was only worried about being embarrassed if he disrespected her during the meeting. However, given the circumstances today, if Wen Haowen did it, it would make him seem extremely petty and someone who could not even tolerate his own daughter, causing his reputation to be tarnished.

Although everyone knew that Wen Haowen had intentionally suppressed her after all these years, but he did it under the table. To directly oppose her in front of everyone else was a totally different concept, and Wen Haowen could not afford to embarrass himself like that.

Wen Haowen took the initiative to approach her, with a suspicious tone of unknown intention. “Wen Xinya, you are truly my capable daughter. Congratulations on smoothly joining the board of directors.”

Wen Haowen kept his gaze on Wen Xinya, with flashes of cold hostility appearing on his face, with the words “capable daughter” being heavily emphasized with a mildly sarcastic tone. Not only did the tone not carry any hint of genuine congratulations, but it also exuded an unexplainable feeling of creepiness and hostility.

During this time, he only cared about protecting Ning Shuqian and was busy increasing his control over the entertainment city project. Thus, he let his guard down for a moment. This led to this rascal taking the chance to sneak in and successfully join the board of directors. This made Wen Haowen feel a sudden pang of fear and danger.

Wen Xinya laughed. “Thanks, Dad. I won’t let your expectations down.”

She placed an emphasis on the word “expectations”, while still keeping a smile on her face. Compared to Wen Haowen’s fake demeanor, Wen Xinya’s attitude was clearly much more calm, as if she couldn’t hear the tinge of negativity in Wen Haowen’s voice, rather treating his words as genuine words of congratulations.

And she appropriately displayed the qualities of a good daughter, earnest and generous!

Wen Haowen’s face immediately darkened. “Really? Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”

It was not wise to assume that once she had joined the board of directors, she would be able to control the Wen Corporation. He had stayed longer on the board than her and had managed it much longer. Hence, he would not let her get what she wanted.

Wen Xinya laughed indifferently. “Dad, since we are going to the same place, let’s walk together!”
