Wen Haowen drove around town in a bid to s.h.i.+rk off the reporters behind him. However, the reporters and paparazzi seemed to be everywhere he went as if they had radar. Wen Haowen finally managed to shun them at three o’clock in the afternoon. He then hurriedly returned to the family mansion.

Wen Xinya was having a chat with Old Mr. Wen in the living room about some business-related matters. Clearly, Old Mr. Wen had intentions to share his experience in the business world with her, so as to give her a head start.

Wen Haowen was extremely peeved by the sight before him. Recalling his father’s comment about Wen Xinya being far better than him, he couldn’t help but resent her even more strongly.

Wen Xinya stared at Wen Haowen and asked in astonishment, “Father! Why have you come home?”

Scowling at Wen Xinya, Wen Haowen ordered sternly. “Go back to your room immediately. I have something to talk about with your grandfather.”

A sullen expression formed on Wen Xinya’s face and she stood up to leave.

However, Old Mr. Wen grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving. “Just speak your mind. Xinya is not an outsider, and she’s going to take over the Wen Corporation someday, anyway. It’s better to let her know more about the corporation.”

Wen Haowen’s face stiffened and he protested in disgruntlement, “Father, I’m not dead yet. Are you already thinking of handing the Wen Corporation over to a gangster who led a wandering life for fifteen years?”

Old Mr. Wen quipped calmly. “You’re the CEO of the Wen Corporation and yet, you were thrown out of the Jiang Corporation office tower. Even I feel ashamed for you. You’re such a failure and yet you still have the cheek to criticize your daughter?”

Seemingly extremely offended, Wen Haowen snapped angrily. “Father, Jiang Shaofeng is clearly the despicable one. How could you blame me for it?”

Old Mr. Wen scoffed. “You’ve finally realized how cruel and despicable the Jiang family is. Who was the one who swallowed his pride and begged for their forgiveness previously? Why are you throwing a fit now?”

Despite being thick-skinned, Wen Haowen couldn’t help but feel embarra.s.sed. He quickly changed the subject and said bitterly, “Father, regardless of whether you agree to it or not, I’ve decided to cooperate with the Xia Family and seek their help in resolving this matter.”

Old Mr. Wen shot him a glance and asked, “You’ve embarra.s.sed yourself at the Jiang Corporation. Is that why you’re planning to cooperate and take revenge against the Xiao and Jiang Families regardless of the consequences?”

Wen Haowen felt a sudden wave of anger after having his intentions exposed. However, he soon got a grip on his emotions and said indignantly, “Father, I can’t take it lying down. I must let the Jiang and Xiao Families know that I’m no pushover and also not someone to be trifled with.”

Suddenly infuriated, Old Mr. Wen rebuked. “You’re no pushover? Everyone in the circle knows how much of a dimwit you are.” His lips curled into a mirthless smile that caused his wrinkles to deepen as he continued, “You’re planning to compromise the Wen Corporation’s interests just for your own selfish reasons. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the Wen Family in the future if we accept the help from the Xia Family?”
