The banquet was held in the front hall which was extremely spacious and could house 2000 people.

At this moment, the waiters and waitresses who were dressed impeccably weaved in and out through the crowd.

Wine glasses in hand, gentlemen gathered and engaged in lively conversations!

Elegantly dressed ladies contended in beauty and glamor, with charming smiles, enchanting grace, and alluring looks!

Wen Xinya stood beneath the warm, yellow light and slowly made her way down the wooden stairs, dressed in a gold, vintage dress with a golden flower in front of her chest which accentuated her well-endowed bosom. There was a crystal-embellished belt hanging on her waist, accentuating the curves on her slender waist.

The hems of her dress were made of golden chiffon stacked together and spread out like a big and vibrant flower, beautiful and charming. It was glowing like the golden rays of the sun.

Her hair was tied back into a neat and simple bun, with the white viburnum flower hairpin stuck in it. She had on a pair of dangling earrings which she frequently donned, be it during casual occasions or formal banquets. It was almost iconic and unique to her.

She was wearing a necklace that matched her hairpin. It had an avant-garde design of intertwining flowers that broke out of normal traditions. The leaves and petals hung along the pristine, fine chain of her necklace like beautiful flower buds in spring. The black leaves were surreal and made it look like a constellation on her neck.

She was wearing a ring on her right middle finger which had a similar design; a black viburnum flower on top of a white ring! It accentuated the beauty of her long and jade-like fingers.

When Si Yiyan put the “Slave Of Love” lock on her legs back then, he lamented about failing to create a full set of jewelry for her. However, he still managed to do so in the end.

At this moment, Wen Xinya caught the attention of all the guests with her shiny ensemble.

Si Yiyan was one of those who were attracted to her. He was the one who put on her attire and jewelry for her, piece by piece. Her gorgeousness took his breath away.

Xia Ruya stood amongst the crowd and watched Wen Xinya strutting down the aisle in a gilded ensemble that was so glitzy that she almost got giddy. All eyes were on Wen Xinya and Xia Ruya struggled to widen hers to take a good look at Wen Xinya but to no avail. The lights were just too glaring and she had no choice but to squint and watch her from below. Wen Xinya stood above everyone else and looked down condescendingly at the guests below. Xia Ruya could only see her silhouette and she felt as if the blinding glow that Wen Xinya emitted had set her on flames.

She found it hard to contain her resentment.

Her overwhelming jealously almost made her lose her rationality.

She bit her lip so hard that it almost bled.

A smile finally formed on Old Mr. Wen’s sullen face. Feeling extremely heartened, he stared at Wen Xinya and felt rather glad to see that she had finally grown up. He held her hand and led her to center stage. “Thank you, everyone, for attending my granddaughter, Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony. I sincerely thank everyone.”

As soon as Old Mr. Wen finished speaking, he bowed down to everyone.

Wen Xinya followed suit.

Everyone broke into applause, feeling much less tensed up than before. They snapped out of the austere mood and relaxed.

Old Mr. Wen said emotionally, “I believe everyone here has attended my granddaughter’s homecoming party three years ago. Back then… my granddaughter described herself as a caterpillar growing into a butterfly. You guys have witnessed her evolution.”

The guests were all reminded of the grand homecoming party that took place three years ago. Back then, Wen Xinya was just a disheveled girl.

Old Mr. Wen gazed at Wen Xinya in awe and said, “Today… this very moment is her true evolution into a glorious and glamorous woman.”

The crowd again broke into applause enthusiastically.

Old Mr. Wen glanced at Wen Xinya and said smilingly, “Xinya, you didn’t let me down.”

Tears welled up in Wen Xinya’s eyes and she said with a grin, “Grandpa, thank you for believing in me!”

With Old Mr. Wen’s affirmation, no one would dare to doubt her.

Old Mr. Wen patted her shoulder and said, “Good child!”

Sobbing incessantly, Wen Xinya stepped forward and hugged him gently.

Old Mr. Wen said in a melancholic tone, “My daughter-in-law Mo Yunyao has helped the Wen Corporation build a strong foundation and secure a footing in the jewelry industry, all thanks to her flair jewelry design. I’ve transferred five percent of the Wen Corporation to her. Eighteen years ago, Yunyao passed away during a difficult labor and she returned the shares to me before she passed on. Today… I shall transfer the five percent to my granddaughter, Wen Xinya.”

Wen Xinya said agitatedly in surprise, “Grandpa, thank you. I won’t let your hopes down.”

History had repeated itself, though in a different manner.

He had transferred five percent of his shares to her during the homecoming party as a form of compensation.

Today, he had transferred it to her on behalf of her mother.

However, he was also helping her build her reputation.

Old Mr. Wen nodded in gratification and said, “I trust you.”

All of the guests were filled with shock, astonishment, bewilderment, jealousy, and envy. A tossed stone raised a thousand ripples, and they began gossiping amongst themselves.

Old Mr. Wen was trying to let everyone know that Wen Xinya was the successor of Wen Corporation and that they did not have to doubt her.

In addition to the five percent that she had prior to the ceremony, she now possessed a total of ten percent of the Wen Corporation shares.

She was only eighteen years old and yet, she already held such a large portion of the Wen Corporation shares.

It was enough to show that her status as the successor of the Wen Family was stable.

Within just a day, Wen Xinya caused an uproar amongst the citizens, from the transfer of assets from Old Mr. Mo to her grand coming-of-age ceremony. She had become the subject of attention in the city. And to top it off… Old Mr. Wen even added on to her clout and confirmed her status as the successor of the Wen Corporation.

It was as if all of the attention was cast onto Wen Xinya.

The reporters broke into a frenzy and began snapping photos of Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Wen while bombarding them with questions.

Old Mr. Wen answered calmly.

Wen Xinya answered with a smile.
