Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1113 - Control My Own Fate

Chapter 1113: Control My Own Fate

Wen Xinya stared at Wen Haowen.

There was hatred for her written all over his face. He gritted his teeth, looking as if he was ready to rip her flesh into pieces.

How ironic, the person she had the closest blood ties to was also the one who hated her to the core.

Clearly, she should be the one hating him more!

Wen Xinya smiled sweetly and said, “I’m being compensated for everything that you owe my mother, the Mo Family, and I. What’s there for you to not accept? You probably didn’t know this, but if Grandpa did not make the first move to have me inherit everything in the Wen Family, do you think my Grampy would let you, my mother’s murderer, off so easily? My Grampy has tens of thousands of ways to destroy you. You are the one who handed all these things to me on a silver platter. You only have yourself to blame for courting death.”

The only reason Grampy did not interfere was that he was looking after her and did not want her to be stuck between the Wen and Mo Families.

Wen Haowen suddenly clenched his fists as he held himself back from thrusting them into Wen Xinya’s face. He had never imagined that Wen Xinya’s face could be as fearsome and detestable as Mo Yunyao’s right before her death.

“Wen Xinya, this must be your honest thoughts. You hate me for causing your mother’s death, which is why you are always against me.”

Wen Xinya smiled while keeping a cold expression. “Although I am hurt by my mother’s death, I did not have any reason to hate you. You were the one who could not stand me. I have always pitied you for being a puppet to a woman and living under a shadow until today.”

There was no need for her to hate him. One day, she would take back everything that Wen Haowen owed her mother. As such, why waste any energy on hating him?

She wanted revenge when she was reborn.

However, more than anything, she wanted to control her own fate and live her life.

Wen Haowen was furious. “Don’t try to sow discord between Shuqian and me.”

Compared to Wen Xinya, he trusted Ning Shuqian more.

Wen Xinya smiled coldly. “There’s really no cure for your stupidity.”

After she was done, she turned away and left the room without even waiting for Wen Haowen’s reaction.

Wen Haowen seethed with anger after hearing Wen Xinya’s words. He ran out of the room to chase after her but collided with Secretary Xiao Zhao.

He saw stars from the impact and began cursing out loud. “You must be blind!”

Xiao Zhao hung his head and apologized frantically. “I’m sorry, CEO Wen. It’s all my fault. I...”

Wen Haowen cut him off and pointed to his own nose before saying, “Am I stupid?”

There’s really no cure for your stupidity... The sound of Wen Xinya cursing at him would not stop ringing in his ears. There was nothing he could do to ignore it.

Xiao Zhao panicked and shook his head continuously. “CEO... CEO Wen, how could that be possible!”

...

Naturally, Wen Xinya did not know the effect her words had on Wen Haowen as she left. She also could not be bothered with it.

After leaving the conference room, Wen Xinya headed straight for the chairman’s office on the nineteenth floor.

Grandpa was standing in front of the bulletproof glass and looking down. His old and frail physique looked extremely lonely in the empty office.

Wen Xinya called out, “Grandpa!”

Old Mr. Wen turned around and a faint smile formed on his face. “Xinya, come over here and stand beside Grandpa.”

Wen Xinya walked towards him and stood beside him.

Old Mr. Wen asked, “Look down and tell me, what do you see?”

Wen Xinya answered blankly, “I can see many things, yet nothing at the same time.”

Looking down from nineteen floors, only moving objects were visible. However, whether they were humans or cars, they were indistinguishable. From a panoramic view, you could say that you could see many things. On the other hand, you could also say that nothing could be seen since the scenery below was barely visible from such a great height.

Old Mr. Wen’s smile slowly faded. “One must climb to the top to be able to look down on others. Do you enjoy being able to arrogantly stand at the peak and look down on others like they are ants beneath you?”

After pondering for a moment, Wen Xinya slowly shook her head and replied, “The higher you climb, the colder it gets. I only wish to stand at the height I desire and be able to see the view that I want.”

Old Mr. Wen turned his gaze towards her. He asked with curiosity, “What kind of view do you want to see at the height you wish to stand at?”

It had been three long years since his granddaughter returned to the Wen Family. He knew clearly that the time taken for his disappointment in her to develop into full trust was really short. It was as if she could understand everyone in the Wen Family the moment she returned. She was able to take a stand and hold onto her rightful place and knew the rights from wrongs. Her every action and word were done and said appropriately.

He had his suspicions, but he was even more curious to see her development.

However, if she did not have a great ambition, she would not be this perfect.

It was important to know what exactly did she desire.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Grandpa, the height I want to be able to stand at is one where I can control my own fate without being manipulated. I wish to see a view where everything is peaceful and serene.”

Old Mr. Wen was stunned.

He had believed that she had a bigger ambition with lots of desires. However, he did not expect her to have such simple wants.

Wen Xinya continued slowly, “It’s really simple, right? However, Grandpa wouldn’t know how much I am struggling in the middle. In the past, I suffered from living on the streets without a home. Now, I am suffering from a lack of support. My fate... is in the hands of Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Ning Shuqian, Xia Ruya, and even Ning Yuya. Any one of you can decide my destiny. I wish to be able to control my own fate and not be pushed around.”

Old Mr. Wen’s hand started to tremble. He knew that for the things other people could easily get their hands on, Xinya would have to work twice as hard for them.

Controlling her own fate and a peaceful life!

Those were indeed the most luxurious things to her.

Old Mr. Wen smiled. “How did you manage to lay your hands on the documents regarding the investment plans of Jiayuan Club?”

This granddaughter of his was always astonishing people. She was unpredictable.

Wen Xinya replied, “Do you remember Si Yiyan? The one you had a meal with. He was Grampy’s star student, and also the big BOSS behind Jiayuan Club. We are bonded by the same teacher. It’s not a problem for me to get my hands on items that are considered confidential to others.”

Old Mr. Wen was at a loss for words.

As of now, Old Mr. Mo’s reputation and connections were the reasons why the Wen Corporation could expand at such a rapid pace.
