Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1846

Chapter 1846: Everyone Has Their Fate

After hanging up, Wen Xinya placed her hand gently on her chest. Her heart was pumping hard with love and passion.

She couldn’t help but shake her head and smile. She and Si Yiyan had been together for more than ten years and had long passed the so-called honeymoon phase and moved towards peacefulness and bliss. They were not only the most intimate lovers but also an inseparable family.

Years had polished the corners of this relationship, making it smooth. Although passion remained, under the grinding of time, it had gradually lost its impulsiveness.

Unexpectedly, this sense of excitement, buried deep within her heart, was like a jar of wine which deepened in taste and aroma the longer it was kept.

Wen Xinya calmed her hastened heartbeat, parked her car, and went to the market.

At this time, the market was bustling, rather packed, and rather chaotic.

An odd odor—a mix of the smell of raw meat, moisture, rotting produce, and filth—hung in the market, but Wen Xinya obviously didn’t mind. Like an ordinary citizen, she picked out the ingredients among the stalls. Thinking that these carefully picked out ingredients would be made into a sumptuous meal for the man that she loved, her heart was filled with bliss.

Very quickly, she had picked out bags of produce and left the market.

It was 8 P.M. when Wen Xinya heard the door opening as expected. Si Yiyan was wearing a simple white blouse and black formal pants. The simple black and white combination was the most quiet yet eye-catching, making him appear extraordinarily important.

“You’re back!” Wen Xinya welcomed him happily and received his briefcase. The weight of the briefcase weighed her mood down as well—it seemed like he would need to work late into the night again. “Remove your shoes!”

Saying that she bent down and fetched him a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.

Si Yiyan changed out of his shoes obediently, hugged Wen Xinya, and gently kissed her lips. “My wife, it’s been hard on you!”

The totally innocent kiss was blissful and natural, just like that of an old couple.

Wen Xinya tip-toed and gave him a peck back. “You’ve worked hard too!”

Holding her, Si Yiyan walked into the living room.

Wen Xinya said, “Wash your hands, dinner is ready.”

It’s been almost eight hours since noon—Si Yiyan must be hungry.

When Si Yiyan came out from the bathroom, Wen Xinya had already set up the table and scooped him a bowl of rice. The delicious dishes whetted Si Yiyan’s appetite and he helped himself to another bowl of rice.

Wen Xinya was very happy. In fact, since Si Yiyan recovered from his ailment, his appetite had increased quite a bit.

After dinner, Si Yiyan slumped down on the sofa, like a satisfied fat cat, and hugged the beauty in his arms. “There wasn’t much work at Wen Corporation today?”

Otherwise, how did she find the time to cook for him personally.

Wen Xinya said, “It’s alright, not too busy. Everything is proceeding as planned and within control.”

Then, she talked about her encounter with Ouyang Feng today.

Li Corporation was attacking Wen Corporation furiously and Wen Xinya wasn’t going to suffer in silence.

On one hand, she made use of Wen Corporation’s weak stance to restructure it on a major scale. On the other hand, she intentionally appeared weak, downsized their operations, and lured Li Corporation to continuously feast on Wen Corporation’s luxury brands market.

Li Corporation’s capability and management were already inferior to Wen Corporation.

There was a saying for people to not do things that were beyond their abilities.

It was impossible for Li Corporation to devour the entire luxury brands market belonging to the Wen Corporation. The outcome of greedy was rapid growth with a weak foundation. Everything started from the basics—with a weak foundation, a high building would collapse in the blink of an eye.

And she had set this trap for Xia Ruya through her greed.

Xia Ruya had personally set numerous traps for the Wen Corporation, and she was also plotting against Xia Ruya.

Si Yiyan said, “Li Corporation is attacking Wen Corporation and using it as a stepping stone. However, rapid growth brings an unstable foundation and incapable management. Currently, with her using the Wen Corporation to beef up the Li Corporation, it’s like a balloon that is rapidly expanding on the outside yet filled with emptiness inside—it will easily burst with slight oversight. You’ve personally set such a trap for Xia Ruya under the overbearing attacks of the Li Corporation—although the risks were high, it’s obviously rather successful.”

Although such a method was unpredictable, it wasn’t incredibly brilliant.

Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan only fell deep into it because Wen Xinya had seen through their greedy innate characters and made use of them to set up this trap.

Everyone had their own fate.

And Xinya manipulated theirs.

Although such a risky tactic was slightly improper and even had to involve the entire Wen Corporation, Xinya had done it without the slightest hesitation, as if she was absolutely sure that they would fall into the trap.

She was probably so sure of Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya’s characters due to her understanding of them over two lifetimes.

“This move of retreating in order to advance kills three birds with one stone. On one hand, it serves to use this opportunity to restructure the Wen Corporation. On the other hand, it’s to deal with Li Corporation. More importantly, it’s to examine the loyal people and traitors within the core of the Wen Corporation.”

There were too many problems in the Wen Corporation—she had known this long ago.

Under the aggressive attacks of the Li Corporation, any fickle-mindedness in the senior management would give Xia Ruya a chance to strike. There were bound to be some wallflowers who only cared about their own benefits and wouldn’t be able to withstand Li Corporation’s temptation. This was something that she absolutely didn’t want to see.

Indeed, everything was spelled out clearly in the incident of clothing with quality issues flowing out to the market.

Si Yiyan said mildly, “Seems like your plan will bear fruits soon.”

Actually, if he wanted to save the Wen Corporation, it would be a piece of cake.

However, he didn’t do so.

Wen Corporation had been around for a long time. Under Wen Haowen’s management, there were too many problems—the fighting of the shareholders and the board of directors for their benefits and Old Mr. Wen’s power brought on by his ruthlessness—it was already rotting inside.

Even though Xinya was the Wen Family’s successor, it was still a tough feat for her to thoroughly control it. One day, Xinya would be restricted by the so-called balance within the Wen Corporation, akin to the Xiao Corporation—this wasn’t what he wished to see.

There was no construction without destruction. Only through systematic restructuring of its staff and management style could the Wen Corporation be truly purified to face the era under Wen Xinya’s leadership, allowing her to be the true head of the corporation in the future.

Honestly, Wen Xinya wasn’t bothered if she could thoroughly control the Wen Corporation.

After all, she had the jewelry designing that she loved the most as well as a rapidly developing Lanxin Company.

However, humans were selfish and he was no exception.

Xinya had done too much for the Wen Corporation—it could only belong to her.

Thus, during Wen Corporation’s crisis this time, he had been observing in silence, waiting for Xinya to gradually restructure the entire corporation, lead it, replace Old Mr. Wen as the heart of Wen Corporation’s people, and walk to the top of the corporation—a position that even Old Mr. Wen wouldn’t be able to touch in the future.

This was what he wanted to see.

His woman ought to be awe-inspiring.
