The next afternoon after Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya’s engagement ceremony, Xia Ruya officially stepped foot on the Capital city of China.
Her looks were the same as before, except that they were even more exquisite and perfect. She was wearing a white silk blouse with long sleeves paired with a white knee-length skirt with floral prints, radiating a fresh, elegant, exquisite, and classy aura, like a carefully nurtured white rose which looked extraordinary due to its pureness.
Living in America for the past year, she had done three rounds of plastic surgery on her face and finally restored her looks. In the process of the plastic surgeries, she had done minor refinements on her original looks to make herself look even more exquisite and perfect than before.
And because her body had been seriously burned, after the successful skin reconstruction, she had suffered infection and almost lost her life. However, luckily, her hatred towards Wen Xinya made her pull through. Her body no longer had those ugly scars from the burns, but her skin was no longer as tender and luminous as before.
This made her feel uncontrollably aggrieved while being thankful.
After a year’s rest, her physical, mental, and psychological states had been restored. Xia Ruya came back decisively—she had more important things to do.
That was revenge!
Xia Ruya sat in the VIP room of the airport waiting for her luggage.
The huge LCD screen before her was playing the grand engagement ceremony from last night. In the TV, Wen Xinya was wearing an embroidered phoenix gown and Ninth Si was wearing a silver-gray suit as they held hands, exchanged rings, hugged, kissed, and danced passionately. Every scene was extremely exquisite and perfect.
Standing together, the two of them looked like a match made in heaven.
Xia Ruya’s pitch-black eyes were moistened, vicious, and had a hazy glow filled with envy, resentment, jealousy, and hatred.
Finally, her gaze fell on that man wearing the dragon blouse as it filled up with hysterical emotions!
This was the man of her choice!
However, he became Wen Xinya’s fiancé!
“Miss, the luggage has been collected and placed in the car. Do we leave now?” The person taking care of Xia Ruya was a thirty-odd-years-old ordinary-looking man. He had been sent by Mr. Z, was highly skilled, and offered way more security than the expensive bodyguard that she had engaged previously. He was there partly to protect her and also to keep an eye on her.
Xia Ruya took her bag and a magazine as she put on her shades. “Let’s go!”
The bodyguard escorted Xia Ruya out of the airport and into the car.
“Miss, a call from Mister.” Sitting in the driver’s seat, the bodyguard passed the phone to Xia Ruya and started the car.
Mister referred to Mr. Z.
Xia Ruya’s heart skipped a beat, but she appeared normal outwardly. She knew that in her exchanges with Mr. Z, if she exposed her fear, she would become passive, lose, and become like Ning Shuqian—a chess piece that he could abandon or use anytime.
“Reached Capital city already?” Mr. Z’s voice was still that of a voice changer. His peaceful tone made him sound not as eerie.
Xia Ruya said, “Just reached the airport.”
In the past year in America, Mr. Z had only initiated contact with her a couple of times. Every time, he had something for her. Now that she was back, it meant that Mr. Z’s plan would formally commence. This call couldn’t be a simple greeting.
Indeed, in the next moment, Mr. Z went straight to the point. “I have a mission for you—to investigate the status of the Wen Corporation’s entertainment city project. This project was slated to be completed around August last year. However, for unknown reasons, it has met with difficulties and is still in progress.”
The entertainment city project was halted due to Mo Yunyao’s masterpiece. After that, as Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya’s plot against Old Mr. Mo failed, they had suffered Wen Xinya’s revenge which invited the active involvement of the mastermind behind Jiayuan. To protect his identity, this project had been stopped for a few months. When it was restarted after that, they didn’t dare to move too vigorously and had left it to Wen Haowen to push for the project.
Xia Ruya frowned slightly and said, “Hasn’t this project been under Ning Shuqian’s charge? Did something happen on her end?”
In the past year in America, Xia Ruya had also learned about the series of actions that Mr. Z used to deal with the Wen Corporation. She knew that all along, he had controlled Ning Shuqian directly and manipulated Wen Haowen after that.
The other party’s mood was obviously not too great at the mention of Ning Shuqian. “Ning Shuqian that idiot is totally useless. The more tasks I assign her, the more ambitious she got. Until now, she still doesn’t know her place. I’m scaring her for the time being.”
Ning Yuya disappeared and Ning Shuqian actually called him for help, which annoyed him to no end. At the same time, the entertainment city project was halted due to being affected by the mastermind behind the Jiayuan Club, Ninth Si. So, he was intent on teaching her a lesson and had not contacted her for a long period of time.
Until the restarting of the entertainment city project.
However, due to various restrictions, this project had been proceeding rather slowly, Ning Shuqian’s influence over it gradually reduced, and he also reduced his contact with her.
However, without Ning Shuqian, his control over the Wen Corporation’s entertainment city project had lessened, and many plans for the Wen Corporation’s entertainment city project couldn’t proceed, causing the project’s delay.
Xia Ruya vaguely smirked as a tinge of haziness flashed past her eyes. “Got it. I’ll pay attention to it.”
The entertainment city project was the most powerful weapon against Wen Xinya. Without the Wen Family, Wen Xinya would lose everything. Naturally, she wouldn’t reject it if Mr. Z involved her.
Mr. Z was rather satisfied with her reply and continued saying, “Additionally, the final acquisition battle between the T-K Corporation and China’s health supplements brands is about to start. Your other mission is to help Genesis to defeat NBJ and Lanxin Company to monopolize the entire Chinese market for health supplements as quickly as possible.”
Nanshan, XX, Mei Shan, Ming Yuan, NBJ, and Lanxin—the top six health supplements local brands. The T-K Corporation’s original goal had only included the top five companies and Lanxin Company wasn’t involved. However, Lanxin Company didn’t know what was good for them and was unwilling to sell their formulas and rejected cooperation and acquisition. They were simply a tough nut to crack.
Although Xia Ruya had been overseas, she had been paying attention to T-K Corporation’s intention to monopolize China’s health supplements market in the Capital city. Naturally, she was clear that if Mr. Z wanted her to assist the Genesis Investment Company, it meant that the Genesis Investment Company was related to Mr. Z—perhaps not only the Genesis Investment Company but also T-K Corporation?
