Chapter 1322 - Removal of the Rights to the Inheritance!

Chapter 1322: Removal of the Rights to the Inheritance! Ning Shuqian’s brazen words did not serve as a defense or explanation for herself. Instead, it angered everyone and they all began berating her.
The calm and composed Wen Xinya could not help but be angered by Ning Shuqian’s words too. She then clenched her fists tightly before loosening them again. She then raised her hand again in a bid to slap Ning Shuqian.

Wen Xinya, what are you doing!?!
a voice barked at Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya watched as Wen Haowen grabbed her hand tightly. The anger within her began to diminish slowly.
She looked up at Wen Haowen and exclaimed,
Father!

As pale as a sheet, Wen Haowen glowered at Wen Xinya with gloomy eyes that made his handsome features appear cold and austere. Seething with anger, he looked rather menacing.
Glaring daggers at Wen Xinya, Wen Haowen barked.
Wen Xinya, you’re the heiress of the Wen Family and the successor of the Wen Corporation. Yet, you stirred trouble during the Wen Corporation’s jewelry exhibition. You’re not fit to be a part of the Wen Family at all!

Wen Haowen’s words were extremely stern and austere.
It meant that Wen Haowen had disapproved of Wen Xinya in front of anyone.
Now that Wen Haowen was a major shareholder who owned 23% of the Wen Corporation’s shares and had the support of some of the minor shareholders, he had a secure position in the Wen Corporation and his statement was representative of his stand as a major shareholder.
Wen Xinya might not be able to secure her position in the Wen Corporation after what he had said.
Wen Haowen took everyone by storm.
He was trying to make use of the ruckus caused by Wen Xinya to make everyone doubt her position in the Wen Corporation. It was indeed very vicious.
However, Wen Haowen had guessed wrongly. He did not get a clear idea of the actual situation and had merely witnessed Wen Xinya slapping Ning Shuqian. He did not realize that Ning Shuqian had already angered everyone else and hence, there was a flaw in his scheme.
Everyone found him to be rather shameless for defending Ning Shuqian blindly.
However, Ning Shuqian did not realize that either and simply thought that she would be able to keep the jewelry and get out of the awkward situation just because Wen Haowen had defended her. Weeping sympathetically, she said,
Haowen, I don’t know what has gotten into Xinya, but she insisted that I was the one who stole Eternal Light. She refused to accept my explanation and she even…

Ning Shuqian then raised her head slowly in misery to reveal her red and swollen face to Wen Haowen.
Staring at her swollen face, Wen Haowen gasped and stared at her face in disbelief.
Noticing the anger in Wen Haowen’s eyes, she suddenly grabbed Wen Haowen’s hand and said anxiously,
Haowen, you… hurry and explain to Xinya and tell her that I didn’t steal Eternal Light and that you were the one who gave it to me.

Ning Shuqian managed to manipulate Wen Haowen, all because she knew him too well. She managed to make him even angrier than he already was.
Next… she smirked peculiarly and thought to herself, 
Wen Xinya is going to suffer a beating from Wen Haowen very soon.

Wen Xinya probably doesn’t know that Wen Haowen has become much more angst than he used to be over the past three years.

Wen Haowen pinched Wen Xinya’s hand and tightened his grip as anger overwhelmed him. He hollered.
Wen Xinya, you vicious woman. I was the one who gave this set of jewelry to your stepmother. What rights have you got to hit her?

Wen Xinya smirked coldly and said,
That’s my mother’s last masterpiece…

Wen Xinya did not say anything else because she knew that everyone else had already understood what she meant. Wen Haowen had given Mo Yunyao’s masterpiece to his mistress. As his daughter… she would definitely be agonized for her mother.
Wen Haowen somehow grew weak and powerless as Wen Xinya struggled to pull her wrist out of his hand.
It’s just her masterpiece…

Before he could even finish, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He subconsciously turned to look at the crowd, only to see that everyone was staring at him in disdain. Stuffiness filled his heart all of a sudden and he was overwhelmed with discomfort.
Wen Xinya said,
Yeah… it’s just the masterpiece that she completed before her death…

She sounded cold and derisive.
Wen Haowen was suddenly at a loss for what to do. He finally realized that he shouldn’t have intervened so out of the blue.
Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she retorted.
Even if you don’t feel anything for my mother, you should at least respect her works on the account that she did so much for the Wen Corporation in the past. I… won’t allow you to degrade her masterpieces.

Yes, she would never allow Wen Haowen to do that.
Wen Haowen could sense that everyone was gossiping and pointing fingers at him. He had no idea why he was deemed as being selfish.

I was clearly honoring my deceased wife!

In the upper-class society, most men would engage in extramarital affairs, but most of them were conscionable enough to still show their wives respect. Even if he no longer had any feelings for Mo Yunyao, he ought to show her some basic respect!
Ning Shuqian finally realized that things were not in her favor.
Wen Haowen’s clarification did not save her from the awkward situation. Instead, she even implicated Wen Haowen and made everyone find him to be shameless.
Wen Haowen was merciless and cruel as a father and husband.
Ning Shuqian was also seen as the culprit who had ruined the relationships between Wen Haowen and Wen Xinya as well as Old Mr. Wen.
Ning Shuqian almost fainted out of pique.
