Chapter 1119 - The Heart Can Be Darker Than Ink

Chapter 1119: The Heart Can Be Darker Than Ink
Zhou Tianyu took a sip of the warm beer and with a frown, said,
It’s bitter and astringent, what is so good about this?

Wen Xinya, acting odd today, suddenly seized the beer. While she did not look down on such a cheap liquor, she genuinely could not be happy.
Wen Xinya laughed and picked up the beer. Her posture was elegant as if she were tasting red wine.
To her, red wine was sour and astringent. She did not find it particularly good tasting. She sometimes could not understand the appeal of red wine to those in high society standings.
In fact, how many people genuinely understood red wine?
For most people, the appeal was merely the gesture and elegance.
Zhou Tianyu, changing the topic, casually said,
Xinya, your Wen Family’s entertainment city project caused an uproar and Ning Shuqian is also causing a scene in the circle. What do you think about this?

Ning Shuqian was sent to a nursing home because she was out of control. She had thought that Ning Shuqian would live in the nursing home her whole life. Who would have known that Ning Shuqian would only stay there for a few months before her release and cause an uproar? She even became the deputy manager of the sister company, before successfully breaking into the Wen Corporation and becoming one of the directors on the board.
When the incident spread in the circle, many people were shocked.
There were many discussions within the circle.
Wen Xinya smiled and said,
I do not have any thoughts on this at the moment.

She was telling the truth. For the time being, she really did not think much of Ning Shuqian’s intentions. Ning Shuqian was now a good pawn. Since she was a pawn, she naturally had to complete her mission before she could be dealt with.
Gu Junlin frowned slightly and said,
Xinya, Beijing’s entertainment industry is one that is hard to thrive in. You better plan as soon as possible lest Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian cause harm for the Wen Corporation.

Xinya was a smart person. She was clear about whether the entertainment city project was beneficial for the Wen Corporation. She naturally knew that from the moment this project was proposed, he had been paying close attention. Through Xinya, he also learned a lot about the project.
Xinya’s attitude towards the entertainment city project was also somewhat unpredictable, making people a little puzzled and unable to guess her mind. Every step of hers seemed to be blocking the entertainment city project, but also contained faint traces of her helping it set sail.
Her move certainly had her own calculations, but he keenly felt that the entertainment city project was not simple. It seemed to be driven by a pair of invisible hands. Although the news from the Wen Corporation was that the shareholders’ meeting had rejected the project, he always felt that the matter was not finished. If the Gordian knot was not quickly cut, the Wen Corporation would be trapped in the project.
Ling Qingxuan also said,
I think Little Eunuch Gu is right. The longer the entertainment city project is delayed, the greater the impact. I have noticed that Wen Haowen’s promotion of the entertainment city project is very organized. This is not like Wen Haowen’s usual style of doing things. The most incredible thing is that Ning Shuqian had a part in it. I think the entertainment city project seems to be hiding a huge conspiracy.

In the past, there was no clue about this project. When the news was revealed, the project had been passed in the shareholders’ meeting. This was odd. Now… even Ning Shuqian, who was called a waste child, was also mixed in, leaving him no choice but to be vigilant.
Xu Tongxuan said,
Since the emergency shareholders’ meeting of the Wen Corporation was held, the news spread about the Wen family’s quarrel between father and son, and father and daughter. This included even more outrageous statements saying that it started from the time you returned to the Wen family and later plotted against the Wen family, aiming after the Wen family’s property. Your plots even disregarded the kinship at stake, confronting Wen Haowen at every point. Some even said that Wen Haowen’s adulterous affair was related to you.

Even more nasty words were said.
About things such as when Ning Yuya was sent abroad, when Xia Ruya disappeared, when Ning Shuqian was sent to a nursing home, and how Wen Haowen was disliked by Old Mr. Wen. They seemed to be justified, but if you thought about it, Wen Xinya seemed to have benefited most from these things.
In high society, who did not have a few hard-to-read sutras? The many tricks to fight for family property, the many insidious means among family members, and all kinds of calculations people resort to, had been witnessed and therefore were plausible.
Du Ruo, while eating snacks, said vaguely,
Xinya has a clear conscience. You are worried that Xinya is being plotted against by Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian. However, we do not know if Xinya is waiting on purpose for the opportunity and right time when Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian enter the game, before making her move.

Xinya was a decisive person. It was not Xinya’s style to let matters on the entertainment city project to move so slowly. Maybe Xinya had other plans in her mind.
Everyone:
…

Suddenly, she was a little irritable, making everyone speechless.
Seeing everyone’s speechless appearance, Du Ruo continued,
Xinya is not so easy to read. She is petty and vindictive; her heart can be darker than ink. If she does not plot against others it will be great.

Everyone:
…

It was Wen Xinya’s first time thinking that beer was bitter and astringent, which was a really bad experience.
Du Ruo, feeling that her sharpness had not been ideally received, said,
Moreover, Brother Si is not the kind of person who will allow others to plot against Xinya. His mind is simpler than that of Xinya, but when it comes to having a black heart, no one can match him.

During this time, Si Yiyan would go to Old Mr. Du’s place every week to treat his old ailment. She had more contact with Si Yiyan and her understanding of him had gradually deepened.
Everyone:
…

Unknowingly, Wen Xinya’s heart suddenly felt calmer.
Du Ruo, seeing how everyone was no longer talking, shrunk.
What’s wrong? Am I wrong?

Everyone:
No, what you said is justified.

Du Ruo:
You will die if you are not sharp!

Woo, woo, woo, woo! Hurry up and gather your IQ!
After half a day of everyone’s spitting, Wen Xinya cleared her throat softly and warmly.
I have my own opinion on the entertainment city project. Don’t worry about it. Ning Shuqian cannot escape my grasp even if she causes a greater scene.

Her words undoubtedly acknowledged Du Ruo’s words in disguise.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Du Ruo laughed.
I will just say, Xinya does not need our worries. I think we should give extra sympathy to Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian!

The group could not help but burst out laughing.
Wen Xinya’s face turned black.
Du Ruo, do you have to outright bury people like this?
