Ning Shuqian had already thought about this and had mentioned it to that person. Although he had his reservations, he wasn’t afraid at all. “Although this person has a complicated identity and shouldn’t be underestimated, there’s no need for us to be overly concerned.”
This was what he personally said to her.
He was also someone who had control and power. However, compared to this person’s complicated background and internal powerful networks, he was naturally far weaker. He had his reservations for this person because even the powerful couldn’t defeat a local villain. However, Ning Shuqian knew that there were unspoken rules and that he was powerful, after all—as long as they followed the rules, avoided trouble, acted carefully, and planned well, they didn’t need to fear this person.
A tinge of fear flashed past Xia Ruya’s eyes, which recovered in an instant and replaced with an inquisitive look. “This person will be our biggest obstacle to deal with Wen Xinya, how can we not be concerned!”
Torrential waves surged in Xia Ruya’s heart. That Mr. Si was such a powerful and influential character, but Ning Shuqian didn’t seem to care. This only showed that the person behind Ning Shuqian was even more powerful than Mr. Si.
Xia Ruya almost gasped!
She couldn’t believe it, yet felt that it was understandable and didn’t doubt it.
She felt that her understanding of the powers behind Ning Shuqian was still but the tip of the iceberg and she couldn’t wait to know more. Her instinct told her that this was the only way she could defeat Wen Xinya and stand tall above, looking down at Wen Xinya like she was an ant.
This discovery made her feel warm and hastened her breathing.
Ning Shuqian interrupted. “Don’t have to worry about this. We’ll just do what we need to do to deal with Wen Xinya. Regarding that Mr. Si, we don’t have to be concerned for the time being.”
She only needed to follow the instructions of that person.
“But…” Xia Ruya still felt that there was more than met the eye for that Mr. Si. Although Ning Shuqian said that they didn’t need to be overly concerned about him, for some reason, she still felt that he was too dangerous and felt uncomfortable about becoming his enemy and going head-to-head with him.
Ning Shuqian knew that she was still doubtful and said confidently, “Our enemy is only Wen Xinya, after all. We don’t have to worry about other matters.”
That person would naturally take care of them.
“In this case, I feel more relieved!” Ning Shuqian’s words undoubtedly assured Xia Ruya. Ning Shuqian was vicious, scheming, and ruthless. She definitely didn’t say those words frivolously—she must have had confidence.
Although she wanted to make use of the opportunity to probe about the powers behind her, she suppressed herself ultimately. She had just returned to the Capital city and it wasn’t the best time to do so. She’d find out one day.
Ning Shuqian patted her hand and said meaningfully, “Ruya, when the time comes, you’ll know just how scary are the stakes you’re holding.”
That person intended to make use of Xia Ruya, but wouldn’t do it so easily. All these years, he had been secretly following, observing, and even testing her. She would also cooperate by revealing some unimportant messages to Xia Ruya at the right times, making Xia Ruya sink uncontrollably into it.
Xia Ruya’s tender and pale lips were like a blooming white rose filled with an innocent elegance. “Aunt Ning, I believe that through this incident, you also understand that the key to us dealing with Wen Xinya lies in Old Mr. Mo.”
Because of Old Mr. Mo, Wen Xinya obtained Mr. Si’s protection and the capability to battle them. As a key character in the literary field, Old Mr. Mo had students all over the world—guided by him were all extraordinary people.
The fact that there was a Mr. Si meant that there could be more.
If they wanted to deal with Wen Xinya, Old Mr. Mo was her only weakness.
Ning Shuqian’s gaze twinkled as she said, “Do you already have a plot in mind?”
Ning Shuqian knew clearly in her heart that the person that they should guard against the most was none other than Old Mr. Mo!
Although Old Mr. Mo was a physically weak scholarly person, due to his reputation in the literary field and his networks all over the world due to his students, that person had always been fearful of him.
Regardless of plotting against the Wen Family or scheming against Wen Xinya, they couldn’t avoid this person.
A chilly, vicious glow flashed past Xia Ruya’s eyes. “Indeed, I have an idea. However, it’s not that easy to execute and will need Aunt Ning’s help.”
Since when did she realize that Old Mr. Mo was Wen Xinya’s only weakness?
It started from the planning of the golden feast three years ago.
Returning to the Capital city this time, this thought became even more uncontrollable.
When she knew that everything that Wen Xinya possessed was because of Old Mr. Mo, the thought of destruction formed in her head.
Excitement flashed in Ning Shuqian’s eyes. “If we were to execute this plan, how certain are you of succeeding?”
If she could deal with Old Mr. Mo, that person would definitely look at her differently, raising her value to that person, and consequently, she would obtain more in the future.
A sharp and chilly glow filled Xia Ruya’s eyes. “At least 70-80%!”
Based on history since ancient times, a 70% confidence level was worth for them to take a risk.
Since the golden feast, she had been like a deserted dog who returned to Harbor City haggardly. The poison in her heart had been brewing incessantly for more than a thousand days and nights and finally became a deadly concoction.
A deadly concoction specially prepared to deal with Wen Xinya.
Ning Shuqian’s breathing obviously hastened and viciousness filled her eyes. “After returning to the Wen Family, Wen Xinya could obtain Old Mr. Wen’s trust, stabilize her foundation in the Wen Family, and possess such a good reputation in the higher social circle all because of this esteemed Old Mr. Mo. But for Old Mr. Mo’s protection and guidance, Wen Xinya is nothing and it’ll be a piece of cake for us to deal with her.”
When Wen Xinya just returned to the Wen Family, Old Mr. Wen was very displeased with her. Although he harbored slight kinship towards her due to the Wen Family’s guilt towards Mo Yunyao and their bloodline, it was too weak and couldn’t withstand any hardship.
Obviously, Wen Xinya was very clear about this. Thus, she had chosen to make concessions in order to gain some advantages by moving into the Mo Family and obtaining Old Mr. Mo’s liking and protection.
And precisely because of Old Mr. Mo’s liking and protection towards Wen Xinya, Old Mr. Wen changed his views about her and started reassessing her. At that time, under the guidance of Old Mr. Mo, Wen Xinya had already somewhat possessed some poise of a wealthy lady. Naturally, this made Old Mr. Wen gradually approve of her more.
Also, Old Mr. Mo was highly regarded and admired by everyone. Even if the people in the higher social circle despised Wen Xinya for her dishonorable past, they would be more lenient towards Wen Xinya on account of her being the only granddaughter of Old Mr. Mo.
When Wen Xinya really grew into a true classy lady, these people would exclaim: All thanks to Old Mr. Mo’s personal guidance!
This mere statement could erase all of her unpleasant past and even be passed on as a legend.
Old Mr. Mo was the key to Wen Xinya’s growth.
Without Old Mr. Mo, Wen Xinya was nothing.
