Chapter 143 - Calculating Shares (2/2)

There were bruises all over Ning Shuqian’s body, but her face was unhurt.

Wen Haowen was contented to see her pretty face and her effort to please him.

It reminded Wen Haowen of his late wife. She was a kind and broad-minded woman, beautiful and elegant. Wen Haowen felt a sense of inferiority in front of her. She was smarter than him, and he wouldn’t become the CEO so quickly without her help. But she was always so condescending, and he had to ingratiate himself with her. When he met Ning Shuqian, he was obsessed with the feeling of being the king at home.

Wen Haowen reached for the bowl and ate the soup slowly.

Ning Shuqian turned to the closet and took out the medical kit. “Your face is seriously swollen, let me help you apply some medicine. It should be fine by tomorrow.”

Anger built up in Wen Haowen’s heart again when he thought about going to work tomorrow. How could he show up like this?

Ning Shuqian applied the medicine carefully. It was so painful that Wen Haowen wanted to shake off her hand, but he suppressed the urge to do so for the sake of his image tomorrow.

“I was trying to prevent that old fool from transferring 5% of Wen Family’s shares to Wen Xinya earlier during the party. Why did you stop me?” Wen Haowen coldly asked.

Ning Shuqian explained promptly. “You refuted father’s decision and made him look bad in front of everybody. Father will be annoyed. There were so many people in the party watching.”

Of course, Wen Haowen understood that, but he just couldn’t let it go. “That’s 5% of the Wen Family’s shares. Even I have only 15% at this moment.”

“Haowen, maybe it will be a good thing for us!” Ning Shuqian’s eyes brightened.

“How can it be a good thing?” Wen Haowen was puzzled.

Wen Haowen frowned, lost.

A cunning look came into Ning Shuqian’s eyes. “Father controls the shares, and we don’t know if he would leave that to you. However, it will be different if Wen Xinya gains control of it. Xinya is too young to understand the importance of this 5% of shares. Being her father, you may be able to coax her into giving you the shares.”

Wen Haowen thought Ning Shuqian had a point. The reason why father tried so hard to find Wen Xinya back then was that he wanted to train her to be the heir. No one knew how father would write the will when he pa.s.sed away, but this 5% of shares was an actual benefit. If he could figure out a way to gain control of it and get mother’s 5% in the future, he would certainly be the heir of the Wen Family.

He felt the pain in his face alleviate a little. “Little s.l.u.t, you’ve got so many tricks…” Wen Haowen pushed Ning Shuqian onto the floor.

Wen Haowen swore non-stop.

Ning Shuqian’s whole body hurt, but she was forced to endure in order to please Wen Haowen.
