The revelation of the real identity under Bella’s mask shook the entire dia circle. Instantly, the headlines of all major newspapers and magazines were monopolized by Wen Xinya and even overseas dia fought to report about this. At this point, Wen Xinya truly stepped onto the world stage and bedazzled the entire world.
The popularity of this matter online was still unwavering as all sorts of discussions erged incessantly. There were almost no negative comnts—occasionally, a couple of jealous comnts erged, but they were quickly drowned out by overwhelming criticism and never rose again.
And the shares of the Wen Corporation and Lanxin Company, with the double impact of the cooperation and Wen Xinya being the CEO of Lanxin Company, rose rapidly.
Old Mr. Xiao gradually put down the papers in his hands, sighed slightly, and said, "The phoenix soars the celestial skies and the dragon travels the world—for truly great n, look to this age." Saying that, he said emotionally, "We’ve all aged."
His words were partly praise, partly emotional, partly sorry, and partly hazy, yet not at all unclear.
He had been fighting with Wen Zhihang for half his life and had triumphed over him in all aspects. However, ever since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family, the situation begun to change. Previously, he still had thoughts of competing with the Wen Family, but ever since Chengyu’s death, he had given up—the Xiao Family’s future hope had been ruined, what was the point of competing for fa and wealth?
Now, his only thoughts were of avenging Chengyu—only then would Chengyu be appeased in hell.
Xiao Zhiyuan had a complicated expression. "When Chengyu was alive, he had warned several tis that this girl, Wen Xinya, was an extraordinary person with a promising future whom one could neither be friends nor enemies with. Unexpectedly, we only now realize that he had been spot on."
The fifty-odd-years-old Xiao Zhiyuan looked as old as an elderly who was more than sixty-years-old. His handso and graceful face was filled with aged wrinkles, and his straightened spine had also started to hunch.
After Chengyu’s death, he had completely fallen out with his ex-wife, Lin Bingchan. Now, they were already strangers.
After Chu Jingnan took over the ownership of the Xiao Corporation and beca its CEO, he had taken control and completely suppressed Xiao Zhiyuan, making him the Chairman of the Xiao Corporation only in na.
Every ti he saw Chu Jingnan sitting on the position which originally belonged to Chengyu and behaving like a tyrant, he would think of Chengyu’s cause of death, and the hatred and regret in him were like a double-edged sword, making him want to perish with him.
ntioning Xiao Chengyu, Old Mr. Xiao’s chest heaved and he couldn’t help but start coughing vigorously. "Cough cough cough—"
Over the years, he had been receiving treatnt at the hospital and already had no major ailnts, except that his legs weren’t good for walking and he would have to spend his days in the wheelchair. However, the psychological damage that he had suffered never healed.
Chengyu’s death was an unbearable pain in his life.
They were two generations apart—while Chengyu and Zhiyuan’s relationship was only ordinary, he had an exceptionally deep relationship with his grandson.
Thinking about that Chu Jingnan who had wild ambitions of replacing Chengyu, anger brewed in his heart. Overco with rage, he barked. "Chu Jingnan that unscrupulous dog with wild ambitions—even if I have to destroy the Xiao Family, I’ll never let him off."
Saying that he suddenly laid towards the hospital bed and starting coughing his lungs out. His head full of white hair and face full of wrinkled made one feel sorry for so reason.
"Father, are you okay—I’ll get the doctor over to have a look."
Xiao Zhiyuan hurriedly poured him a cup of warm water and couldn’t help but regret his irresistible urge to ntion Chengyu just now. Although Father’s condition had stabilized, his health was already damaged. If it weren’t for thoughts of avenging Chengyu holding him together, he should have already...
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhiyuan couldn’t help but be struck with fear.
After drinking water, Old Mr. Xiao’s cough gradually stopped and he leaned on the pillow weakly. "Zhiyuan, these few years, we have been swallowing our pride and complying with Chu Jingnan without sincerity just so that we can avenge Chengyu. Now, our opportunity is here."
Chu Jingnan thought that by getting people to secretly watch him and placing him in house arrest in the hospital, nothing would go wrong?
He had a great plan. However, the older, the wiser—the president of this hospital was an old friend of his. A long ti ago, he had already invested in this hospital in his na—even Zhiyuan wasn’t clear about this.
Xiao Zhiyuan looked at him in slight disbelief, his expression vaguely agitated. "Father, you an..."
"Previously, I daren’t strike because Xiao Corporation was in deep internal turmoil and I was afraid that while we fight it out with Chu Jingnan, those shareholders would stand to gain as third parties, causing us to suffer greatly on both ends. Also, I suspected that there was a power backing Chu Jingnan up and I wasn’t confident of defeating him."
Thus, when Chu Jingnan took over the Xiao Corporation with the ager shares in his hands, he had made use of it and assisted him. These few years, on one hand, Chu Jingnan was suppressing the Xiao Family and diluting their shares, and on the other hand, he was fighting with the shareholders, wanting to take control of the entire Xiao Corporation.
From a bystander’s point of view, Chu Jingnan indeed had his ways. The 49% shares in the hands of the Xiao Family had been diluted to 29%, while in Chu Jingnan’s hands were 25% shares—besides the Xiao Family, he was the biggest shareholder. At the sa ti, he had fought for and obtained the support of a few shareholders and directors, securing his spot in the highest position within the Xiao Corporation.
Among the board of directors, so directors, led by the Lin Family, were completely suppressed by him.
Following that, he was going to bite back at the Xiao Family and completely seize the Xiao Corporation.
Naturally, Xiao Zhiyuan was aware of this. "Then what about now?"
Old Mr. Xiao’s face turned harsh with a cold sharpness. "After my extensive investigations, I realized that behind Chu Jingnan is the Li Corporation. Now that the Li Corporation can’t even save itself, Chu Jingnan has lost his backing and totally doesn’t amount to a threat."
Over these years, the Li Corporation was indeed glamorous.
Oppressing the Wen Corporation, stepping on them to achieve greater heights, and being as powerful as a tiger. Under such circumstances, Old Mr. Xiao didn’t dare to act—he had been waiting for the opportunity to deal Chu Jingnan a deadly blow.
At this point, Xiao Zhiyuan recalled how he had acted like a useless idiot in front of Chu Jingnan usually and beca fired up. "Father, what should we do next?"
Old Mr. Xiao looked at him and only said after half a second, "Go look for Chan-er and tell her that I want to see her. She’s a good and understanding girl—although she’s unwilling to forgive you, she’ll still give , the old man, so face."
The sins created by the Xiao Family should be nded by the Xiao Family.
Chengyu had already died and he only had this son left. He didn’t want this son to live in remorse and hatred for the rest of his life.
With the ntion of his ex-wife, Xiao Zhiyuan’s expression beca dejected as he held his hands tightly in fists. He wanted to ask his father why did he want to look for her, but eventually held it back as he hesitated for half a mont before nodding in agreent.
