The birthday party was a success. When Wen Xinya publicly announced Wen Jinyu’s adoption under her mother’s name, people in the circle were delighted. Of course, there were also those who thought that Wen Xinya was just taking the opportunity to win over the public’s favor with her act. After all, it was no longer a feudal society and traditions of adoption like this were obsolete.
However, the moment such accusations surfaced on the internet, they were taken down by Xinya’s online fans after they caused an uproar.
“Here’s a warning to all those haters: Don’t project your own flaws onto someone else. Everybody can see that the queen has a strong sibling relationship with Little Jinyu. Don’t insult Queen Wen’s character.”
“I agree with the above. Missy excels in all forms of art and the world knows of her shocking talent since a long time ago. In all these years, she earned fame in the Jewelry design world, became the owner of the Wen Corporation and took all control. Her capability is astounding. Do you think she really needs to use such lowly methods to win public favor?”
“Missy and Miss Bella of Lanxin Company are both amazing and independent such that they are known as the Capital City’s Dynamic Duo. To all you haters, know your place. There are thousands of fans waiting to devour you.”
…
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya’s forum. The posts she had hired netizens to spread were suppressed in no time, leaving her fuming mad and face twisted in anger.
Chu Jingnan looked at Xia Ruya’s strange expression and felt sort of violated for some reason. “Why get angry over such things!”
Wen Xinya’s talents were extremely well known in the jewelry design world, which was why she had tons of fan groups on the internet. It was as if she was a celebrity.
Back then when Yang Ziyu died, Xia Ruya wanted to push the blame to Wen Xinya but was unsuccessful in the end. Wen Xinya’s loyal fans could not be taken lightly.
It was wishful thinking for Xia Ruya to use netizens to ruin Wen Xinya’s reputation.
Xia Ruya’s face turned even grimmer. She sneered. “Wen Xinya that b*tch is such a joke. She’s the best at scheming to curry favor with others and earn all the attention. What’s funny is that these people are so stupid and actually bought her act willingly.”
Wen Jinyu was the only heir in the Wen Family to carry their name. The old man was still strong and had no problems living on for another one or two decades. When Wen Jinyu was old enough, she doubted that the family business would still be passed on to Wen Xinya with him around.
In the ten years since Wen Xinya’s return to the Wen Family, she used all methods and schemed to earn Old Mr. Wen’s approval, destroyed Ning Shuqian, stood above Wen Haowen’s position and took control of the entire Wen Corporation. Seeing that the entire family was already in Wen Xinya’s bag, could she really give up this huge family business to someone else?
Then, she scoffed. “Lanxin Company’s Bella is cunning and Wen Xinya is a hypocrite. How are they befitting the title ‘Capital City’s Dynamic Duo’?”
In the past, Bo Yaxuan and Wen Xinya’s grandmother were once called the Capital City’s Dynamic Duo. They were the hot topic back then and were still trending among the upper-class society.
In the circle of the upper class in Capital city, whether it was Chairman Tang Xiaowei of Zishan Club or the elegant goddess Zhou Huiyan, they were renowned talents.
Yet, they did not earn the title of Capital City’s Dynamic Duo.
Meanwhile, Wen Xinya and Bella those two b*tches were able to. What rights did they have to be called that?
It was nothing but an exaggeration.
“These are merely words that people say without care. Don’t take it to heart.”
Chu Jingnan could see through the hidden jealousy and indignance in Xia Ruya’s eyes. Looking at her contorted face, she was truly ugly to no end!
He had to admit that Xia Ruya was indeed quick-witted and crafty. However, she paled in comparison to Wen Xinya.
Xia Ruya finally realized that she had lost her cool. Her expression immediately changed back to her elegant side. “In a few days, it’ll be Old Mr. Xiao’s 80th birthday. I’ve already made some arrangements. There’s going to be an exciting show coming up.”
T-K Group had lost and the entertainment city project was in shambles. Now, Mr. Z was so badly battered and could not do much in the capital city anymore.
Once the Xiao Corporation was attained by Chu Jingnan, the Wen Corporation would have something to fear. She wanted to see just how long Wen Xinya could keep up with the smile.
Chu Jingnan was naturally skeptical. “Ning Yuya’s brains have long been destroyed by drugs. She’s not a good pawn to use. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll fail in her task and ruin your plans?”
He had tested Ning Yuya before. That woman was not only disgusting but also stupid. He truly doubted if she could complete such a huge mission. If she were to make any mistakes, they would end up making a loss.
Xia Ruya scoffed. “Ning Yuya is just a scapegoat. Of course I wouldn’t hand over this task to her. In this past year, I’ve served her and given her money to spend. Just take it as compensation.”
Ning Yuya had been taking drugs for years. She had long turned into a walking corpse without much longer to live. Before she died, it was only natural to let her take her last spotlight.
There was no guilt in making use of her.
Chu Jingnan’s pupils shrank, and fascination flashed across his eyes. “I see you already have a backup plan.”
During this trip back to Capital city, Chu Jingnan could faintly feel that there was someone extremely powerful backing Xia Ruya seeing that she was planning such a huge scheme against the Wen Family.
Xia Ruya looked at him indifferently and said, “You don’t have to waste your effort in testing me. Our partnership will only benefit you with no loss. When you take full control of the Xiao Family, you’ll finally understand some things.”
Chu Jingnan was smart.
Although they formed a partnership, he remained cautious and was not influenced by her. In fact, he even tried to test her many times.
However, she did not mind.
The smarter he was, the more value he held. There would be a higher chance of winning against the Wen Family, which would benefit her.
Chu Jingnan frowned slightly. “How can you guarantee that after this incident, I won’t be involved? After all, I’m the one who will benefit the most. The people of the Xiao Family are skeptics by nature, they’ll definitely suspect me.”
Since Xia Ruya had been straightforward, there was no need to beat around the bush anymore. He directly voiced out his biggest worry.
Xia Ruya smiled and said, “Other than me, nobody knows that you are back in the country. It’s easy to prove that you were not involved. Don’t worry, I’ve already made preparations for this. You’ll see.”
She did not give Chu Jingnan any details. As of now, Chu Jingnan did not have the right to know.
Chu Jingnan frowned. His expression was grim. “Miss Xia, we are on the same boat as of now. How can I trust you when you are hiding things from me?”
Xia Ruya laughed without saying anything. Chu Jingnan was already too deep in to get out.
