Chapter 556: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The day after the thunderstorm, the weather was fair and the sun shone brightly as if it did not pour last night at all.
However, Wen Xinya did not expect that there would be news reports about Ning Yuya luring her into Black Sunday three years ago.
The reports showed her chugging some alcohol and getting drunk, after which she started flirting with the other gangsters at the bar. There were also several other distasteful photos that were unpleasant, though not explicit.
It was not a good thing for such negative news to be exposed right before her coming-of-age ceremony. Not only did it affect her reputation greatly, but it also affected the Wen Corporation, thus causing the Wen Corporation stock prices to plunge.
Wen Xinya could imagine how many reporters there were outside the Wen Family home who were planning to surround her and get their hands on the firsthand news. It would be a huge blow to her if they were to find out that she had spent the night outside.
The reporters would not take into consideration the heavy rain last night. Instead, they would simply jump to conclusions and make assumptions under the pretext of being passionate about their job. They would try to find out all the juicy details. Although she had used a smokescreen when heading to Lishan Mansion, she was not overly conscientious. Hence, it was inevitable that the reporter would find out.
Hence, Si Yiyan arranged for her to be sent to the Mo Family home.
She only returned to the Wen Family home in the afternoon.
Old Mr. Wen was not around, but Wen Haowen was sitting on the couch and glowering at her sternly. He barked, “You bastard! Trust you to have the cheek to come home. You’ve utterly disgraced the Wen Family.”
Wen Xinya smirked calmly and said, “Father, you’re overreacting. Everyone in this circle has had some form of scandal. Everyone still talks about yours and Aunt Ning’s scandal from years ago every now and then, don’t they? Even a pure and innocent girl like Miss Xia had once been involved in a scandal and had racy photos taken of her. She had even been labeled as a loose girl and there are still photos of her virginity test report going around on the internet.”
It was not hard to guess that Ning Yuya was the one who had published those photos on the internet. To her surprise, those photos had never once surfaced in her previous lifetime.
However, she could not help but admit that Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian were extremely menacing and vicious to have attacked her with those photos right before her coming-of-age ceremony.
Fuming with exasperation, Wen Haowen flung the magazine at Wen Xinya with all his might and barked. “What a sharp tongue you’ve got. In that case, take a good look at these reports on the newspapers and explain to me what exactly is going on!”
“I’ve already read these magazines and newspapers. I don’t need to see them again,” said Wen Xinya, who hurriedly moved her feet and dodged the magazine. Shaking her head, she looked at Wen Haowen and quipped. “Father, you have to work on your accuracy.”
“Wen! Xin! Ya!” Wen Haowen snapped, unable to tolerate how nonchalant she was.
Wen Haowen stared at the angry Wen Haowen and said with a smirk, “Father, you don’t actually have to be so loud. I can hear you perfectly. There are no issues at all.”
Wen Haowen’s rationality exploded and he flew into an uncontrollable rage. He then lifted his leg in a bid to dart towards Wen Xinya.
However, Ning Shuqian held him back and gibed in a gloating manner. “Xinya, since you’ve already read those reports on the news, are they real or not?”
Wen Xinya probably didn’t expect that this controversial news about her would be exposed after two years!
The photos were taken by Ning Yuya. However, her mobile phone was strangely broken all of a sudden and she forgot about the matter after replacing it. However, Xia Ruya was reminded of it and hence, decided to repair Ning Yuya’s mobile phone, after which she found those photos.
What happened next seemed to follow a natural flow of events. Even if Old Mr. Wen pursued the matter, he would not be able to find out that Xia Ruya was behind it.
On the other hand, Old Mr. Wen would definitely have a bad impression of her now that the coming-of-age ceremony was round the corner. The scandal would definitely get tongues wagging.
Wen Xinya stared at Ning Shuqian calmly, for she was not obliged to answer her at all.
Wen Haowen pulled a long face and glowered at her menacingly. “You bastard, your Aunt Ning is talking to you. Are those reports true or not?”
He was well aware if they were true or not, because he was the one who had sent them to the media.
The Wen Corporation belongs to me and I’m the only successor. I’m not going to watch the old man hand it over to a gangster who had led a wandering life for fifteen years.
That old man must be all muddled up. I must let him know that I’m the only successor!
Wen Xinya smiled calmly and looked extremely stern and cold. “At this point, finding out if the reports are true is rather meaningless.”
The reports were obviously published intentionally so as to embarrass her and affect her reputation before the coming-of-age ceremony. The mastermind simply wanted for the Wen Family’s reputation to be tarnished and for the entire circle to know that nothing could change the fact that she used to be an ugly larva, despite having grown into a beautiful butterfly after breaking out of her cocoon.
Her beautiful wings couldn’t erase the fact that she had led a wandering life for fifteen years in the past and that she used to be a gangster.
“What do you mean?” Wen Haowen questioned, staring at Wen Xinya. Ever since he moved back to the Wen Family home, he had been avoiding getting into a conflict with her, for fear that he would arouse the displeasure of Old Mr. Wen. However... at the thought of Old Mr. Wen changing his will secretly, Wen Haowen was filled with hatred.
Wen Xinya raised her brows calmly and answered nonchalantly, “It’s up to the media to write and publish whatever they want. I can provide them with additional details for free if they don’t have enough material. I, Wen Xinya, have never denied that I used to have a disgraceful past, but of course...” Keeping her eyes fixed on Ning Shuqian, she continued aloofly, “If anyone makes a joke out of my past, I won’t mind... turning her into a joke too.”
She had stressed and emphasized on those words. It was as if she was warning them sternly and her words were like sharp, gleaming daggers.
