Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1891

Chapter 1891: Commencement of the Press Conference

Although Wen Xinya was infuriated at Si Yiyan for leaving without saying goodbye, she was still very worried about him.

Lucifer was surrounded by strong enemies in Russia and she was unclear about the situation there.

On one hand, there was the Korean-Chinese Alliance who had once single-handedly caused internal conflicts and separations within Lucifer and almost caused a deadly blow to it lurking in the dark like a poisonous snake.

On the other hand, there was the Russian army eying Lucifer like a tiger and the royal families who were waiting for the opportunity to pounce at them.

Now, there was additionally a mysterious Wei Che with an unknown background who harbored ill intentions towards Lucifer.

Gu Yuehan was right. Lucifer could only be helmed by the esteemed and admired Rex.

Thus, she had already expected that Si Yiyan would have to make a trip to Russia.

However, she didn’t expect that this day would come so quickly, so soon, and at the time when there were issues in their relationship.

Logic told her that she should be understanding of Si Yiyan and look at the big picture.

However, emotionally, she couldn’t suppress her annoyance and nerves.

Wen Xinya took in a deep breath and suppressed her increasingly vexed emotions. She thought that her body seemed to be in a bad condition recently and it was already affecting her daily thoughts and life—she should really recuperate her health after the press conference.

“You look very tired. Can you manage the press conference later?”

It was 3 P.M. and the press conference officially commenced.

Wen Xinya attended the press conference with the CEO of the Lanxin Company, Yan Shaoxing, President Zheng Yifan, Vice-President Li Mengjie, and some other important directors.

Wen Xinya glanced at Yan Shaoqing beside her, touched her forehead, and said, “Don’t worry, I can still push through.”

Yan Shaoqing didn’t say anything else but still looked worried. Wen Xinya was undoubtedly strong, as if unbeatable, and he had never seen her looking so frail and tired that even the exquisite makeup on her face couldn’t hide the fragility that showed through.

Wen Xinya wore a phoenix mask that covered half of her face and a black high-waisted gown in a glowy material that flowed down beautifully like water and pleats which swayed gently as she walked, making her posture look gorgeous with an elegant poise full of taste and class.

Her long, black hair was held in a bun with a hair accessory in the design of a phoenix spreading its wings and framed with colorless diamonds that glimmered under the lights. Each of the tiny diamonds was exquisitely polished, extremely dark and shiny at the same time, and clashed, contrasted and competed with each other under the lights, instantly producing extreme confusion, yet jelled well due to their purity.

“Miss Bella is here.”

Upon stepping into the press conference, Wen Xinya became the highlight of everyone’s attention and caused a commotion.

The reporters who were seated in the first few rows among the audience lifted their cameras and snapped away while the invited guests behind them also couldn’t help but focus on her.

The Wen Corporation was led by Old Mr. Wen. Accompanied by the corporation’s President Cao Zixing, Chief Operations Officer Xue Yishan, and the rest, everyone had already reached.

Everyone present was rather shocked that the Wen Corporation appeared majestically—after the power tussle involving Qian Jianhui, there had been huge changes in the directors, and all of the important directors were all present except for the key figure, the successor of the Wen Family, and the CEO of the Wen Corporation—Wen Xinya.

The reporters and the invited guests had various guesses regarding this.

“Overdressing like this and wearing a mask—indeed quite awe-inspiring. No wonder I didn’t detect it.” Old Mr. Wen sized up his peerlessly elegant and gorgeous granddaughter with pride shining in his cloudy eyes. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Xinya was indeed too successful in disguising as Bella.

Regardless of the look in her eyes, her posture, and even her actions were all different from Xinya’s usual effortlessly elegant style, presenting a different kind of gorgeousness which was threatening, invasive, and overbearing.

If he didn’t know that she was Xinya.

Old Mr. Wen would never be able to guess her real identity.

Beside him, Cao Zixing heard him murmuring to himself and didn’t feel strange at all—Old Mr. Wen had always admired this Miss Bella. Instead, he was worried about something else. “Chairman, the representatives of the Lanxin Company are all here already. Why isn’t Missy here yet?”

As the Wen Corporation’s CEO, Missy naturally couldn’t be absent from such an important event.

However, the press conference was about to start but Missy wasn’t here yet.

Missy wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t know her priorities. Regardless of the scale of the matters, she had never made a mistake. Thus, he was worried if something had happened to Missy.

Old Mr. Wen laughed out loud. “Ignore her. When the time comes, she’ll naturally appear.”

He didn’t care about the guesses and doubts that everyone present had about Xinya right now due to her absence. He was looking forward to the stunning scene when Xinya revealed her identity before everyone.

Yup! It was indeed too perfect.

Cao Zixing’s face stiffened. Seeing Old Mr. Wen’s carefree look currently, he couldn’t quite tell his thoughts. What was Old Mr. Wen and Missy up to?

Xue Yishan was rather worried. “The press conference is about to start, yet Missy still isn’t here. Will the Lanxin Company be unhappy with the Wen Corporation?”

Missy was the core representative of the cooperation between the two parties. As the successor of the Wen Family and the next in line in the Wen Corporation after the President, her actions represented the entire Wen Corporation and had a great impact on the cooperation.

Being late—

Was rather rude, showed disrespect towards the other party, and could even be seen as taunting.

Xue Yishan spoke the words in the hearts of all the representatives of the Wen Corporation present.

At this point, Wen Xinya had already brought Yan Shaoqing, Zheng Yifan, Li Mengjie, and the rest up to the main stage. Both parties greeted each other ceremoniously.

Wen Xinya smiled. “Old Mr. Wen is still going strong despite your age and is as majestic as ever!”

Old Mr. Wen laughed out loud. “Miss Bella is young, capable, and outstanding.”

Both parties were amicable towards each other. No one from the Lanxin Company paid attention to Miss Wen’s absence from the Wen Corporation’s side, which made everyone over at the Wen Corporation—besides Old Mr. Wen—heave a sigh of relief.

Just then, a reporter stood up from his seat. “The cooperation between the Lanxin Company and the Wen Corporation represents a win-win situation where both parties work together closely through thick and thin. This press conference is undeniably important—from the looks of the representatives, both Lanxin Company and Wen Corporation take this cooperation seriously.

“In this case, may I ask Old Mr. Wen, why Miss Wen, as the successor of the Wen Family and the CEO of the Wen Corporation, isn’t present at this press conference?”
