Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1796

After she had dealt with Gu Yihan and stepped out of the police station, Wen Xinya rushed towards Wen Corporation, as it was probably in a mess right now.

The radio station in the car was reporting on Gu Yihan’s drug abuse issue, and Wen Xinya felt terrible upon hearing it. Her emotions were complicated and heavy at that point. She had realized a long time ago that Xia Ruya would target Wen Corporation’s employees in order to get to the Wen Corporation.

Therefore, in the period she was the action chairman, she increased her control of the board of directors and appeased the shareholders, increasing the power of the Wen Family as much as possible.

However, she did not expect Xia Ruya to plant a spy within the Wen Corporation long ago in order to attack them. They had set their eyes on Gu Yihan and ruined her completely without even a second consideration.

She could not claim that Gu Yihan was completely innocent, as she had two years of drug abuse history. Although it was under the influence of Xia Ruya, she was not forced to do so.

Ultimately, it was Gu Yihan’s personal choice.

However, what Wen Xinya was sure of was that Gu Yihan’s plight today was due to her affiliation with the Wen Family. Hence, the Wen Family could not leave her alone.

“Grandpa!”

As Wen Xinya opened the door of the director’s office, Grandpa was on the phone at that moment. His pale and old face was raging with anger, and this made her feel extremely panicked and uneasy.

“Pa—” Old Mr. Wen hung up the phone fiercely.

Wen Xinya tried to talk to him.

“Bang!”

Old Mr. Wen raged to the point where he threw the documents on the table on the floor, causing the atmosphere in the quiet office to suddenly became tense and stressful.

Wen Xinya’s heart pumped hard as she walked slowly to the front of the office table and quietly took out Grandpa’s usual medicine from his drawer. She poured him a cup of warm water and put it in front of him.

Old Mr. Wen then calmed down. “Xinya, you’re here. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

He was indeed a little too agitated earlier on.

Wen Xinya softly said, “Grandpa, take the medicine first!”

Grandpa’s illness could not take such a blow. Wen Xinya was worried that his body would not be able to stand it.

Old Mr. Wen listened to her and took his medicine, slowly easing his anger. “Just now, a couple of distributors who had been working with us for many years called to tell us that they want to stop cooperating with us. The reason was the scandal that Gu Yihan caused the Wen Corporation. The Corporation’s reputation has been ruined, and our brand image is now horrible, which leaves a huge impact on our distributors.”

At this point, Old Mr. Wen felt a little bad.

All those people were trusted business partners that they had worked with for many years, and other than for profits, they had many personal interactions as well. They were disloyal. Although he knew he could not blame them as it affected their business and profits, he could not understand why they would abandon the Wen Corporation because of Gu Yihan’s drug abuse news that was released just a couple of hours ago just like that, disregarding their many years of friendship.

Wen Xinya’s face darkened immediately. “Grandpa, did you ask which firm they would be working with after they stopped cooperating with the Wen Corporation?”

Actually, Wen Xinya could already guess it.

Old Mr Wen’s face darkened as he said in a serious tone, “It’s Rosy Lane!”

Earlier on, on the phone, the other party suggested stopping their collaboration, and he already knew what was happening. He immediately questioned them about it, and although he did not receive a direct answer, all of their excuses and indirect replies told the story.

Expectedly, Wen Xinya then said, “Once something happens to the Wen Corporation, they request to stop working with us and to work with Rosy Lane. It’s obvious that they had already made arrangements with the Li Corporation earlier on, and the goal was to deliver a heavy blow to the Wen Corporation when we are affected by Gu Yihan’s scandal. Xia Ruya’s plans were extremely toxic to us.”

The fights in the business world had always been cruel.

For two parties to work together, the most important thing was profits.

Xia Ruya could persuade them to stop working with the Wen Corporation, most likely due to them offering attractive incentives. The friendship of many years of collaboration meant nothing in the face of money.

Xia Ruya was best at manipulating others, and she could hence devise such a vicious plan.

Old Mr. Wen was clearly disappointed. “How’s Gu Yihan?”

He already knew that his granddaughter had just come from the police station.

Wen Xinya explained all that she knew and sighed. “Teacher Gu’s life is definitely ruined already!”

If it was purely due to drug abuse, then Gu Yihan could rise up once again after the matter blew over. Gu Yihan depended on her skills for work and was different from those in the entertainment circle who depended on their image. If they had a drug abuse issue, then their problem would have been more serious.

However, Gu Yihan’s troubles were coupled with her pirating and copying other people’s work. Once a designer was associated with such a name, her reputation was entirely ruined.

For this, Wen Xinya could not deny Xia Ruya’s skills for attacking them.

Xia Ruya had calculated long ago how to completely ruin Gu Yihan, such that she could no longer depend on both her reputation and her talent for a living.

Old Mr. Wen did not know what to say at that point. “Poor child. What a waste!”

Xia Ruya was completely ruthless. In order to achieve her goals, she did not care about the means to which she achieved them. Thinking about Xiao Chengyu’s death back then and Gu Yihan’s state today, he felt a little angry about it.

Wen Xinya calmed down her own complicated emotions. “Grandpa, fashion has always been half of Wen Corporation’s earnings. Today, after Gu Yihan was caught for drug abuse and Wen Corporation is deep in this scandal, our operations for many years have been ruined. The entire clothing market will fall apart as well. For Wen Corporation to lose half of our backbone means that the foundations we have been building for so many years have been effectively halved.”

The collapse of the clothing market would mean that Wen Corporation had lost half of its body.

It was definitely painful for them.

Xia Ruya was indeed ruthless enough, to deliver such a huge blow to the Wen Corporation, leaving them with no retaliatory power. They could only watch them step onto Wen Corporation’s former glory and take away the market share that used to belong to them.

Wen Corporation lost much of its power.

Li Corporation made use of this opportunity to step up.

This stark contrast formed a huge sense of mockery to Wen Corporation.

Old Mr. Wen’s heart felt as if it was bleeding. “To control Gu Yihan from afar and to expose Gu Yihan’s drug abuse issue, along with the distributors stopping their collaboration with Wen Corporation, all of these were calculated to suppress the Wen Corporation as much as possible. Xia Ruya came prepared indeed, and her goal is not just to take the Wen Corporation’s share of the market in Country Z, but to completely ruin the corporation and control the entire market of disposable goods in Country Z.”

Xia Ruya’s greed and ambition made sure she left nothing for others.

To have it all for herself was her only goal.

Wen Xinya continued, “Therefore, Xia Ruya will continue to suppress the Wen Family and make use of all opportunities and methods to ruin the Wen Corporation. The match between Xia Ruya and I has just officially begun.”

Wen Xinya did not feel too optimistic about it.

In the first round of conflict with Xia Ruya, she already lost half of the Wen Corporation’s backbone. Such a huge blow left Wen Corporation with not much choice but to fight back as best as they could.
