Chapter 859: 859
The Xiao Family’s matter had finally been finalized . Within just half a month, the Xiao Family faced their defeat . Their stocks almost crashed after hitting an all-time low . Hence, the Xiao Family lost their status in the upper-class society and Xiao Zhiyuan managed to keep his position as CEO by a close shave . However, he was not in a stable position, and the Xiao Family would go into hiatus soon .
The Wen Family stood to gain this time . Everyone knew that Old Mr . Wen was focusing all of his attention on the establishment of the charity fund and hence, stayed out of the Wen Corporation’s matters . Besides, Wen Haowen was incompetent and overly ambitious . Hence, it was not difficult to guess that Wen Xinya was the one behind the execution of those plans .
Although Wen Xinya was young, no one dared to belittle her . After all, she was taught by Old Mr . Mo and had also earned the recognition of Old Mr . Wen .
This time, Wen Xinya managed to give everyone a warning by dealing with the Xiao Family .
While having some tea with Old Mr . Wen, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa, this is premium West Lake Biluochun tea . Give it a try and see if you like how it tastes . ”
If one were to get immersed in tebrewing, they would realize that it was an enjoyable thing that involves wisdom and skill . It was an ancient treasure that would be enjoyed only when one took it seriously and put in the effort .
Old Mr . Wen watched as she brew tea with much grace and finesse . He knew that her skills had improved again . He picked up the teacup and gave it a little whiff . “The tea is mild yet fragrant . It’s of good quality . ” He then took another sip and continued, “It smells wonderful and the taste lingers . Amazing . ”
He enjoyed tetasting, but his wife was unfortunately not a fan and Wen Haowen was too mediocre to enjoy tea . To his surprise, Wen Xinya turned out to be the one who could have in-depth discussions with him about tea .
Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “It’s all thanks to the premium tea leaves that allow the tea to be fragrant . ”
Old Mr . Wen said, “Regardless of how good the tea leaves are, it still depends on the skills of the brewer . ”
There were hidden meanings to his words . He had already built a strong foundation for the Wen Corporation, which unfortunately did not flourish in the hands of Wen Haowen . As a result, the Wen Family was reduced to third place in the ranking of the four major families . Yet, Wen Xinya could help take the Wen Corporation to a greater level . That was the difference between the two of them .
Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent .
Old Mr . Wen gazed at her with a look of satisfaction and said, “Secretary Cao has already told me about what you’ve done to the Xiao Family this time . I really didn’t get the wrong impression of you . You’re a good kid who can take on major responsibilities . ”
Old Mr . Wen was surprised that Secretary Cao was full of praises and respect for her . Secretary Cao was extremely competent and Old Mr . Wen initially hoped for him to train Wen Xinya and guide her along . To his surprise, she managed to earn his respect .
Wen Xinya was not shocked at all . Although Secretary Cao had been giving her help and assistance, he was still Old Mr . Wen’s secretary at the end of the day . “Those scheming tricks that I have used are not upright or morally correct . I was just taking advantage of the situation . I still have a lot to learn about business management . ”
If the Xiao Family did not belittle her right from the start, she wouldn’t have been able to take advantage so easily .
Old Mr . Wen smiled and changed the subject . “Xinya, you’ve done a great job this time . The Xiao Family has indeed been too haughty all these years, and they’re so conceited that they forgot about how experienced we are . Back then, we used to be in second place, though we’ve deteriorated . However, we still have the foundation that we’ve painstakingly built . How dare they provoke the Wen Family? In that case, they shall have a taste of failure . ”

Regardless of how strong the Wen Family was, they would forever be inferior to the Xiao Family because of how incompetent Wen Haowen was . That was the reason why he remained silent and allowed the Xiao Family to undermine them while hiding their real abilities throughout all these years .
However, things were different now that Wen Xinya had returned to the Wen Family . She had come up with a brilliant plan this time and did not reveal the Wen Family’s hidden powers just to deal with them . It simply meant that she had greater ambitions .
Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “The Wen Family’s authority is not be challenged . Grandpa… I’ve always remembered your words . ”
Old Mr . Wen’s words had also helped her understand the laws of the business world .
A nobleman once said the same to the world . He said, “My bottom line is to ensure the complete autonomy of sovereign rights . Whoever touches my bottom line will be challenging my rights, and that’s a fatal mistake . ”
Of course, the man who said that had taught the people who challenged his rights a severe lesson that involved bloodshed .
Old Mr . Wen glanced at her solemnly and said, “It’s good that you can understand what I mean and act accordingly… No matter what, you’re definitely the successor of the Wen Family . ”
In the future, she would definitely be able to take over the Wen Corporation .

However, affirmation was the most important thing to Wen Xinya, and she was suddenly overwhelmed with a mix of emotions .
Old Mr . Wen patted her hand and said, “Xinya, ever since you returned to the Wen Family, you’ve been putting in a lot of effort and hard work . I’m well aware of that . It’s also a blessing to have you as my granddaughter . The Wen Family… has a successor . ”
He sighed and thought about the time when Wen Xinya first returned to the family .
Old Mrs . Wen could not take the blow at all because she had been giving her all to Xia Ruya for twelve years . Besides, Wen Xinya had a shameful past where she used to be a gangster, got into fights, created trouble all the time and was addicted to alcohol . She even had a foul mouth and hurled vulgarities all the time . Her uncouth and boorish behavior made Old Mrs . Wen find her extremely unacceptable . In addition, the juxtaposition to the demure and elegant Xia Ruya, as well as the petty tricks that Xia Ruya had pulled to sow discord, made Old Mrs . Wen develop a prejudice against Wen Xinya and feel repulsed by her .
On the other hand, Wen Haowen was heartless and cruel . Due to his resentment towards Wen Xinya because of Mo Yunyao’s death, he treated her harshly . Not to mention, Ning Shuqian often badmouthed her too .
Back then… he was rather disappointed to see how uncouth his long-lost granddaughter was and even began doubting his decision to reunite with her .
As a result, he treated her rather unfairly at the start .
However, she had never once complained and instead, did her best to gain everyone’s respect and recognition . She also went through lots of hardship and pain to get to where she was today .

He was well aware of that .
“Grandpa, I…” Wen Xinya began to tear up and hurriedly hung her head low before wiping her tears away . As if she was afraid to show her vulnerability to others .
Little did she know, her actions made Old Mr . Wen sympathize with her even more . He wondered if she was often so afraid to show her weaker side .
Old Mr . Wen sighed and said, “Xinya, it’s been hard on you . ”
He should have said these words to her long ago . It was inappropriate of him to wait so long to tell her that .
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Wen Xinya began to tear uncontrollably .
Old Mr . Wen patted her back sympathetically and tried to comfort her emotions .
