Chapter 48
The Floral Lingo Pavilion was a well-known beauty spa in the Capital city . Their members were some of the wealthiest people in the city . Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya were regulars of this spa .
Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya were in a VIP room within the spa . Fragrances from the essential oils filled the air . Ning Shuqian was enjoying a full-body SPA treatment while Wen Yuya was enjoying a lavender oil massage . Both were very expensive SPA packages .
The spa beautician who was serving her whispered into her ears, “Madam Wen, we have just imported some new lavender essential oils from France . These oils will help your skin maintain its youthfulness and the fragrance could last as long as one week . Would you like to give it a try?”
Ning Shuqian, who was lying on the bed, said in a lazy tone, “Sure, let’s give it a try!”
“Certainly . I will carry out a lavender oil massage for you,” said the beautician . She then got out of the room to make preparations .
Ning Shuqian’s cell phone rang . She took a look at her phone and smiled with satisfaction . “Hello, Editor Yang!”
Wen Yuya, who was lying on the other side, opened her eyes and started listening carefully to the conversation .
A middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the line . He said in a sharp and irritating voice, “Madam Wen, have you seen the newspaper and magazines today? I have completed the tasks you requested . When are you going to pay me the rest of the promised money?”
Of course, Ning Shuqian had already seen the newspaper and magazines today . She was greatly satisfied with Editor Yang’s efficiency . It was all thanks to Ruya for introducing Editor Yang to her . “Not bad . But it’s not enough . I will send you more information shortly . I want to totally ruin her reputation and let her suffer the greatest humiliation . ”
Editor Yang was in shock . “This wasn’t what we had initially agreed on . Why are there sudden changes?” He continued in a vicious tone, “Madam Wen, please do not play tricks with me . If you make me mad, I will expose this incident . ”
Ning Shuqian did not expect Editor Yang to be so influential in the media industry . He had managed to spread the news to every corner of the city within a short timeframe . “Please be assured, I will reward you handsomely for your efforts . I’ll transfer to you the rest shortly . In addition, I’ll give you another 500,000 dollars after you’ve accomplished the required task . ”
“That’s much better . ”
After hearing his reply, Ning Shuqian was assured that he would be able to accomplish the given task . She said in a joyful tone, “Editor Yang, a capable person will only be paid for solving someone else’s problem . You should be well aware of how the game is played, am I right?”
Editor Yang reassured Ning Shuqian . “Yes, I am aware . Madam Wen, please do not worry . My mouth is sealed . I will never give you away . Once I receive the money I’ll go to somewhere far away and never appear before you ever again . ”
Ning Shuqian was happy to hear that . “Well, if that’s the case, I’ll wait patiently for you to bring me some good news . ”

Ning Shuqian ended the call . Wen Yuya asked impatiently, “Mother, what’s the progress of the matter?”
Wen Yuya was reminded of what happened that day at the Jo-ramst shop . Wen Xinya was walking towards her, and the light from behind her lit up on Wen Xinya, putting her in the spotlight . Wen Yuya could only look up to Wen Xinya from where she was . She felt as if Wen Xinya had overpowered her world and she could only live in her shadow .
Right at that moment, she suddenly realized Wen Xinya was her nemesis in this life .
Ning Shuqian smiled with satisfaction and raised her brow . “Don’t worry, Editor Yang has got everything covered . ”
Wen Yuya was happy to hear that . She said in a wicked tone, “Mother, this time I’ll let that bitch, Wen Xinya, have her reputation become totally ruined . ”
Ning Shuqian replied with a smile, “Yes, let’s do it right this time . ”
Wen Yuya became hesitant . “Mother, if we manage to ruin Wen Xinya’s reputation, would Grandpa and Grandma really disown her? She is the only flesh and blood to the Wen Family and Grandpa has always valued kinship . What if…” she asked .

“Silly kid . It doesn’t matter even if the Wen Family values kinship . This doesn’t change the fact that they will always prioritize the Wen Family’s reputation over everything else . Do you remember how we managed to drive her out of the family with minimal effort? That’s because Grandpa also despised Wen Xinya for her unglamorous past . Your Father has a strong sense of pride as well . If Wen Xinya is put in a bad light, that’ll indirectly affect the Wen Family as well . Your Father will be the first to disown her, together with your Grandma who will definitely take his side . I will also influence your Father to let the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Wen Corporation persuade your Grandpa . In this way, we’ll have everything under our control . ”
She had originally intended to slowly torture Mo Yunyao’s daughter by leading her to a path of no return . She would allow Wen Xinya to fall into a bottomless dark hole and give up on herself . Anyone could walk over her and she would have a ruined reputation and lose all her dignity . However, little did she expect that that little bitch Wen Xinya was far more difficult to deal with than she thought . She had no choice but to act fast .
“Mother, will the Board of Directors and shareholders interfere in the Wen Family affairs?” Wen Yuya opened her eyes wide in disbelief .
“The Wen Family is the largest shareholder of the Wen Corporation . Your Grandpa holds the position of Chairman for the Board of Directors . Any negative news about Wen Xinya would impact the reputation of the Wen Family directly . And this, in turn, will affect the Wen Corporation indirectly, causing its share price to drop . They are all interlinked . The Board of Directors will not turn a blind eye . ” Birds of the same feather flock together . Just like the Wen Family, the Board of Directors too prioritized their interests over everything else . This made them easy targets for her manipulation .
Wen Yuya felt assured . “Mother, you are the smartest . ”
“You’ve finally realized my strengths?” Ning Shuqian replied with a sly look on her face .
Wen Yuya laughed . “Mother, you are the smartest mum on the planet . Wen Xinya thought she would be safe by hiding in her Grampy’s place . Never belittle the one who is more experienced . Fortunately, we’ve listened to your advice and did not act recklessly . Now we’ve finally caught her off-guard and found an opportunity to make good use of this incident against her . ”

“That’s right . What good does it make to confront her with an argument? You do not get anything out of it . See who laughs the loudest in the end? You have to change your temper and start thinking rationally . ” Ning Shuqian advised with care .
Wen Yuya replied elatedly, “Mother, I understand!”
“Now that Wen Xinya is being put in a bad light, you should be staying at home more to accompany Grandpa and Grandma . Ruya has returned to the Xia Family, and while Wen Xinya is away, the two elders will be lonely . This is the best chance to build a good relationship with them . ”
Wen Yuya’s expression turned pale . She said, “Mother, you know both Grandpa and Grandma have treated me coldly sometimes, I am…”
“To achieve your goals, you have to be adaptable and be patient . If you can adapt to any situation, you would have already achieved half of the success . ”
Wen Yuya nodded . “I’ll try . ”
Ning Shuqian was a little worried . Xia Ruya had been visiting the Wen Family’s mansion frequently these few days . It was obvious that she wanted to get close to Grandpa and Grandma . While Wen Xinya’s bad news was spreading, Xia Ruya’s virtues would immediately be contrasted . The two elders would then naturally favor Xia Ruya who had been living with them for the past 12 years .
