Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1856

Chapter 1856: A Good Lady Should Not Swear

Qian Jianhui was a cunning man, and he understood that it was not good for him to stay any longer. He requested to take his leave, and Wen Xinya naturally let him go, sending Qian Jianhui and Chairman Liu out of the Wen Corporation.

After he left Wen Corporation, Qian Jianhui’s Maitreya’s smile finally relaxed, and he looked a little comical and stiff with his big head and large ears.

Chairman Liu, who did not speak at all earlier on in the guest room, frowned slightly. “This Wen Xinya is not simple at all.”

Earlier on in the guest room, Qian Jianhui kept going back and forth with Wen Xinya, and he simply stayed in the background, not speaking. Actually, he was secretly observing her, as she was someone who managed to spark fear in someone as cunning as Qian Jianhui.

He did not believe that Wen Xinya did not know that they came with bad intentions, but she did not reveal any suspicious emotions, and she seemed to have much depth in her thinking. The two of them, who believed themselves to be clever people, were impressed at how helpless they were.

Qian Jianhui refused to fail, and the muscles on his face formed a determined look. “Regardless of her character or courage, she matches up to Old Mr. Wen. This is why I wanted to pay her a visit today.”

Although he was quite close to the Wen Family and had crossed paths with Wen Xinya multiple times, it had always been superficial interactions. Today, it could be considered their first time meeting in such a manner.

The results were surprising.

“If the situation is really like that, I worry that the shareholder’s meeting five days later will become even more complicated. Old Qian, tell me, how confident are you to take over control of the entire Wen Corporation?”

After they met Wen Xinya, Chairman Liu felt a little uncertainty in his heart.

They had been in the business world for many years, they had seen many things and gained much experience. They had their own unique way of measuring up others.

Wen Xinya had a perfect pair of sharp eyes, and the corners of her eyes were angled towards her temple, with hidden double eyelids. Her black eyes did not show much, and not many dared to look her straight in the eyes.

Someone born with such eyes was naturally jealous but bold and calculative. She splits the line between love and hate very cleary and was a grateful person who could keep her promises. At the same time, she was someone who made sure to return an eye for an eye. Also, it was not easy to read her.

Qian Jianhui revealed a face of doubt, but after thinking about how his plan to take over the entire Wen Corporation required Chairman Liu’s support, he gave an assurance. “I’m 70% sure.”

Chairman Liu was a little shocked and doubtful as well.

Admittedly, Wen Corporation had suffered heavy losses, reaching a new low in the stock market, and the shareholders had been reformed multiple times. Wen Corporation’s equity dilution today was a rare chance for them, but with the Wen Family still holding over sixty percent of the corporation’s shares, a seventy percent confidence was probably a little exaggerated.

Qian Jianhui said, “All of Old Mr. Wen’s capable employees fully support us, and for your information, I have also taken over Wen Haowen’s three percent of shares.”

What he did not say was that he had already reached an agreement with Li Corporation, who would fully support him to take down Wen Corporation. With their support, Wen Corporation was definitely already his.

Qian Jianhui and Chairman Liu’s surprise visit caught Wen Xinya off guard, and Wen Corporation’s recently called shareholder meeting made Wen Xinya feel like there was some scheming going on.

Naturally, Qian Jianhui held fifteen percent of Wen Corporation’s shares and had the support of many other smaller shareholders, but Wen Family, who held control of Wen Corporation, held sixty percent of the shares. Even if the smaller shareholders worked together with Qian Jianhui, it was not enough to match up to them.

Yet, Qian Jianhui definitely had his own reasons for wanting to hold a shareholder’s meeting with Chairman Liu at such a critical juncture.

Immediately, Wen Xinya had Liu Yanhua do a thorough investigation into Wen Corporation’s shareholders and their shares. Then, Wen Xinya was shocked.

“Wen Haowen the useless failure sold his three percent of shares to Qian Jianhui at a high price, and Qian Jianhui was cunning enough to keep this matter well-hidden.”

Wen Corporation’s crisis caused a few of the shareholders to sell their stocks, and they thus underwent reformation. Wen Xinya only just realized that Qian Jianhui made use of this opportunity to buy up the stocks that were sold.

At that time, even Si Yiyan was shocked at Wen Haowen’s thought process and was speechless. However, when he thought back to the stupid things that he had done before, everything seemed normal again.

At that time, Wen Xinya could not help but angrily laugh. “I really don’t know whether Wen Haowen’s brain is filled with sh*t.”

Wen Xinya had nothing better to say about Wen Haowen.

Admittedly, Wen Corporation was facing a crisis where its stock market was falling, and their share prices were continuously dropping. For Wen Haowen to want to earn a little by selling it off quickly was not wrong at all.

However, how could he not see what kind of person Qian Jianhui was? As Wen Corporation’s former Chairman, how would Wen Haowen, who had known him for decades, not know? How could he not see Qian Jianhui’s ambitions to take over the entire Wen Corporation?

His actions were definitely to take a dig at Wen Corporation.

Yet, what good was it for Wen Haowen?

If Qian Jianhui took over Wen Corporation, Wen Haowen would be nothing at all.

Si Yiyan frowned with his dark and long eyebrows, looking cold. “A good lady should not swear.”

Xinya looked classy and elegant and had the air of a well-educated elite. Yet, within her were the habits and patterns that she picked up from being in the streets, and she did not act according to how people thought she would. She would always surprise others, occasionally swearing, and he felt that it did not affect her image much. However, today, he felt that he could not take it anymore.

Wen Xinya pursed her lips, unhappy. “It was only a moment of anger. Such words for someone like Wen Haowen are already considered mild.”

Although she said that, Wen Xinya knew that she should not swear in front of Si Yiyan.

After all, she was someone who was well taught and had class, so how could she spit out such vulgarities in front of the man she loved? She carefully looked at Si Yiyan’s expression.

Although he seemed a little unhappy, he did not show any other reaction. She felt a little relieved. She would never swear in front of him again.

Si Yiyan’s face turned serious, and he took on an authoritarian tone. “You must change your habit of swearing.”

Although he did not mind her swearing once in a while, it must still be under control.

Wen Xinya showed a little dissatisfaction but did not dare to rebuke. She unhappily said, “I won’t say it anymore, why are you being so fierce!”

All she did was accidentally swear, not commit a serious crime. Why did he have to be so strict about it?

Wen Xinya glared at him in disgruntlement.

Si Yiyan rubbed her head, trying to soothe her anger
