Chapter 1770: To Show Off

Wen Xinya was extremely shocked that Chu Jingnan became the chairman of Xiao Corporation.

This move caused the relationship between Xiao Family and Chu Jingnan to be under scrutiny.

Chu Jingnan made many moves once he entered Xiao Corporation, and even if Xiao Zhiyuan could not see Chu Jingnan’s huge ambitions, she believed that Old Mr. Xiao, a crafty eighty-year-old, would be able to see through him.

She could not guess at all, what was the Xiao Family hiding?

Wen Xinya looked up to see two people walking towards her.

Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya!

Looking at Xia Ruya holding Chu Jingnan’s elbow, her lips slightly arched with an air of ridicule. The two of them were truly meant for each other. No matter how many times she was reborn, the two of them ended up together, just like in her past life.

Looking at her eyes that were filled with contempt, Chu Jingnan did not know why, but he felt a little awkward, and even the hand on his arm felt as if it was burning. He had no idea what to say.

“Miss Wen, what coincidence!” Xia Ruya stayed by Chu Jingnan’s side, taking the initiative to greet Wen Xinya.

She never thought that they would bump into Wen Xinya here.

However, now that Chu Jingnan was the chairman of Xiao Corporation, she held more chips in her hand, and she was confident even in the face of Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya laughed. “So it’s Miss Xia and Chairman Xiao, how coincidental!”

She purposely emphasized on “Chairman Xiao”, her tone heavy with mockery and sarcasm.

Chu Jingnan used four percent of shares to cling onto the Xiao Family and even entered Xiao Corporation, becoming its chairman. But so what?

As long as the Xiao Family did not recognize him officially, he would be an illegitimate child that had no status.

Chu Jingnan’s expression changed. “Miss Wen, you must be so busy that you have become forgetful. You can’t even remember that my surname is Chu. I can’t bear the name Xiao.”

His status as an illegitimate child was Chu Jingnan’s greatest thorn in his heart.

He originally thought that replacing Xiao Chengyu to become Xiao Corporation’s chairman would allow him to gain everyone’s recognition, but he was wrong.

Ever since he entered the Xiao Corporation, many people looked at him weirdly and compared him to Xiao Chengyu behind his back.

Xiao Chengyu was a true member of the Xiao Family by bloodline. Hence, there was a stark difference between the two of them.

Although Xiao Chengyu was already dead, he still could not suppress his hate and anger for him. He secretly swore that once he took over control of the Xiao Corporation, he would ruthlessly step all over those who had mocked and laughed at him.

“Hehe—” Xia Ruya laughed coyly. She looked like a flower. As if she was a white rose that just bloomed. “Miss Wen, don’t say the wrong things. I almost thought that you were calling the late Mr. Xiao, Xiao Chengyu.”

Xia Ruya took just a couple of sentences to ease Chu Jingnan’s awkwardness.

Chu Jingnan looked at her, grateful.

Wen Xinya felt a bit sick at their act. “If Mr. Xiao was still alive, I don’t think the position of Chairman would ever go to anyone else?”

Since Xia Ruya mentioned Xiao Chengyu, Wen Xinya could not help but take a jab at her.

Thinking about how Xiao Chengyu died just to fulfill the ambitions of the two of them, she felt extremely angry.

Xia Ruya’s smile dropped a little. “Such things could not be helped. Mr. Xiao was unlucky and was not meant to live a long life, how regrettable.”

All of these were just meant to say that Xiao Chengyu had a short life.

Ning Yuya was the only witness to Xiao Chengyu’s car accident.

And she personally witnessed Ning Yuya burning to ashes, so there was no longer anyone to speak the truth about his death.

She could not believe that Wen Xinya had the ability to find anything out.

Thus, she was not afraid at all.

Xia Ruya’s shamelessness was on full display, and Wen Xinya could not take it. “Miss Xia, do you believe in Buddhism?”

Xia Ruya did not expect that she would ask such a question. Guarded, she searched for an answer in her head.

Wen Xinya did not wait for her reply and continued, “Buddhism believes in karma, meaning that you will reap good things if you do good. But if you do evil, you will suffer.”

Chu Jingnan laughed. “I did not expect Miss Wen to have some knowledge and belief in Buddhism. You’re truly not called a genius for nothing.”

Looking at his gentle and warm laughter, Wen Xinya suddenly felt as if everything was dull and boring.

However, with Xiao Chengyu, a true gentleman who came before him, Chu Jingnan’s pretense was worse than that of dogs and chickens.

Xia Ruya’s gaze changed and her lips pursed with a smile. “Xiao Chengyu’s death brought about a huge blow to the Xiao Corporation, and today, Chu Jingnan got the recognition of the board of directors and the shareholders, becoming the chairman of the Xiao Corporation, saving the Xiao Corporation from its crisis. This caused the board of directors to decide to move forward its anniversary celebration, to improve the name of the Xiao Corporation. Jingnan is in charge of this event, so I hope that Miss Wen will come when it happens.”

Xiao Corporation’s anniversary celebration was supposed to be a month later.

To bring forward the celebration was to improve the reputation of the Xiao Corporation right now, but also to celebrate and set the stage for Chu Jingnan’s post as the chairman.

Originally, Xiao Corporation’s board of directors and shareholders were against it, but with Xiao Zhiyuan’s support and Chu Jingnan’s tactics, it was decided upon.

Wen Xinya thought otherwise, and understanding the intricacies of what happened, hinted at Chu Jingnan’s underhanded methods. “Sorry, the Xiao and Wen families are not on good terms, so I won’t be going to the celebration.”

Wen Xinya rejected her straight in the face and even pointed out the conflicts between the two families.

Instantly, Chu Jingnan’s expression changed, and he could not help but show it on his face. Wen Xinya rejected him straight up, meaning she did not even put him in her eyes and did not respect him at all.

Even Xia Ruya was stunned, as she did not expect that Wen Xinya did not give them any face and rejected her straight up.

Wen Xinya looked as if she was about to laugh. “You dare to show off your position of chairman to me? I don’t know whether you’re not ambitious enough or too capable. If you want to show off in front of me, do it when you are truly in control of the Xiao Corporation!”

Xia Ruya’s momentary victory must have gotten to her head!

Chu Jingnan was barely appointed to be the chairman, and yet she was being all happy in front of her.

Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan’s face darkened, and they were speechless for a moment and had to swallow their own words.

Wen Xinya was in charge of Wen Corporation today and indeed had a different status. They were in different leagues. Chu Jingnan was not her match yet, and although the Li Corporation was developing well, compared to the Wen Corporation that had been operating in the mainland for a long time and was more powerful, the Li Corporation was a long way away.
