Chapter 162 - One Who Stands Above Others Has a Target on His Back (2/2)

Not only did he fail to see how hard-headed Wen Zhihang was, but he also did not realize Wen Haowen’s callousness!

Old Mr. Mo sighed. “Your homecoming party was a huge deal, with many media coverage. You’ve only just returned to the Wen Family and such a stir was created. This may not be a good thing for you!”

Old Mr. Mo brought up the crucial issue right away, making Wen Xinya come to a great realization. “People will think that I talked Grandpa into kicking Wen Yuya out of the Wen Family because I could not accept having a stepmother and a stepsister and that even Wen Haowen had to back away from a daughter like me.”

How could she have not thought about this sooner!

Old Mr. Mo nodded. “That is right. Your rags to riches story made you impressive to other people, putting you in a good light. However, if the Wen Family fell apart because of you, others impression of you would be ruined.”

Her eyes widened with realization. After hearing Grampy’s words, Wen Xinya understood that although she had won this battle, she was losing the war. “Grampy, what should I do now?”

Seeing her troubled face, Old Mr. Mo continued, “Xinya, one who stands above others has a target on his back. This is undeniable no matter where you are. You’ve already shown too much of your ability, it’s time for you to keep a low profile now.”

Wen Xinya replied, “Grampy, I was careless this time around. I know what to do now.”

Her words comforted Old Mr. Mo, and his mood was slightly lifted. “However, it’s also not entirely a bad thing for you now that Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian have moved out of the Wen Family!”

Wen Xinya was perplexed. “Grampy, what do you mean?”

Old Mr. Mo replied happily, “Wen Haowen is such a heartless person. Do you think he is capable of fidelity? The only reason he didn’t fool around was because of Old Mr. Wen. Now that he is out of his grasp, do you think Ning Shuqian can keep him in check?”

Wen Xinya understood immediately. Unlike in her past life, Grandpa would no longer be there to control the situation. Furthermore, Wen Haowen didn’t dare to overstep his boundaries previously as he had not taken over the Wen Family fully. Now that Grandpa had been thoroughly disappointed by Wen Haowen, Wen Haowen would be free to go wild.

More importantly, Wen Haowen did not have a son!

If Wen Haowen had a son, she would no longer be the successor of the Wen Corporation. Since Wen Haowen bore such hatred for her, there was no way he would just stand idly and watch her take over the company.

Ning Shuqian relied greatly on Wen Haowen’s powers. If he no longer cared about her, she would be much easier to handle.

After coming to this conclusion, Wen Xinya smiled. “n.o.body has more insight than you, Grampy.”

“Be that as it may, Ning Shuqian is still not one to belittle. Also, Ning Yuya that stepsister of yours really took after Wen Haowen. She is the most wicked, able to treat everybody mercilessly. However, just like Wen Haowen, she has great ambition but little talent, although she did learn to scheme from Ning Shuqian. She will definitely blame you for being kicked out of the Wen Family by your Grandpa, and bear hatred towards you. You still have to be wary even though she is being sent overseas now.”

Grampy was worried that she would let her guard down now that Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen had moved out of the Wen Family. His concern made her feel comforted. She replied, “I won’t let my guard down. I know that they are not easy to get rid of.”

Furthermore, there was still a Xia Ruya lying in wait. Her experience in her past life taught her that Xia Ruya was definitely one to be feared more than Ning Shuqian.
