Chapter 500 - The First Dance of the Gala (2/2)

Old Mr. Wen sighed and held her hand while leading her to the dance floor.

A smile formed on Xia Ruy’s face, with resentment hidden beneath her teary eyes.

Although Wen Xinya could not perform the first dance with Old Mr. Wen, she had managed to do it on behalf of the Wen Corporation together with the esteemed Old Mr. Mo. Not only did it emphasize her status as the successor of Wen Corporation, but it also proved that Old Mr. Wen valued her greatly, and Old Mr. Mo supported her.

Although Xia Ruya got to perform the first dance with Old Mr. Wen and achieved her goals of getting adopted by the Wen Family, she was still inferior to Wen Xinya. At this moment, Wen Xinya enjoyed the attention of all the guests, and Xia Ruya would forever be reminded that she was only but the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family.

The rest of the guests gradually stepped foot onto the dance floor as well.

The ambiance became much livelier.

Who would have known that a simple dance would involve a battle of wit and courage?

Old Mr. Mo said calmly, “Everyone knows that all of the members of Zhishan Club come from wealthy and powerful families, and the fact that she’s the illegitimate daughter of the Xia Family will forever be a stain in her life. She wants the Wen Family to openly acknowledge her as the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family, simply because she doesn’t want others to use her identity against her and affect her reputation and status as a member of the Zhishan Club.”

Wen Xinya was suddenly enlightened by his words, for she was preoccupied with the memories from her previous lifetime, so much that she had forgotten about it. “So, she came prepared and is bent on reaching her goals.”

Old Mr. Mo nodded and said, “She’s at the peak of her fame and glory now, you don’t have to vie with her. She’s always been scheming and sneaky, to the extent that it’s almost impossible to guard against her. You just have to let her know that she can’t replace you even though she’s become the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family.”

It was the reason why he took the initiative to give Wen Xinya an out.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Grampy, I understand!”

Old Mr. Mo said, “The Wen Family has always valued benefits and interests more than anything else. Since you can’t put your status as the successor to your advantage yet, you must remember not to let the Wen Family find out that you’re also a member of Zhishan Club. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape their devious schemes.”

“Got it, Grampy,” Wen Xinya answered.

She did not inform the Wen Family of her involvement in Zhishan Club precisely because of the reason that Old Mr. Mo had mentioned. Although the Wen Family would definitely be more pleased with her after finding out about that fact, they’d also be upset and blame her for failing to put the Wen Family’s interests first.

Staring at her solemnly, Old Mr. Mo said, “You’ll be turning eighteen in a few more months and you’ll be able to join in managing the Wen Corporation. The media, employees, shareholders and other members of the circle are going to pay attention to each and every move of yours. You must think twice before acting and make sure not to commit any mistakes.”

Wen Xinya understood what Old Mr. Mo meant. She had once led a wandering life for fifteen years and lots of people had been paying attention to her changes. Unlike ordinary people who could learn from their mistakes, the slightest mistake could cause her to plunge from heaven to hell.
