Chapter 509 - Si Yiyan, Are You Angry? (2/2)

Wen Xinya was greatly startled by the question, to which she had no answer.

Si Yiyan stared at her and said sternly, “You’re smart, rational, resourceful, full of wisdom and tenacity. You don’t lack determination or resoluteness. But you lack self-confidence, the key ingredient to success.”

Wen Xinya stared at him in shock and disbelief.

Self-confidence… Si Yiyan is right. I ended up in a tragic plight in my previous lifetime because of how dense and pathetic I was, so much that I was disapproved by the Wen Family.

Hence, she was well aware of how important the approval of the Wen Family was to her. Hence, in this lifetime, she gradually began making her decisions based on Old Mr. Wen’s opinions and hence, ended up losing her self-confidence. She had set a boundary for herself and guarded it closely, not allowing anyone or herself to break it.

She was so cold to Wen Haowen that she did not carry any hopes of being close to him at all. However, she chose to accept all his scoldings.

She also chose to tolerate Old Mrs. Wen’s overbearing ways.

Si Yiyan sighed and continued, “Xinya, I don’t believe that you still carry any feelings for the Wen Family. You’re always tolerating their harsh treatment and suffering in silence. Although you may succeed by being very cautious with every step you take… it’s only a matter of time before you get defeated by reality.”

The Wen Family would implicate her sooner or later.

Wen Xinya shuddered uncontrollably due to the immense shock and bewilderment. The coldness of the marble floor below her feet seemed to have penetrated through her skin and moved up her bones, all the way into her heart.

Noticing that something was amiss about her, Si Yiyan nudged her and said, “Xinya!”

Wen Xinya took a few steps back and looked up at Si Yiyan. Although she wanted to say something, she could not speak because of the chilliness.

The charming gaze in Si Yiyan’s gaze instantly vanished and he stared at Wen Xinya, the veins on her face almost visible underneath the bright light.

Wen Xinya forced a lopsided smile. It turns out… she thought that she had escaped her destiny in her previous lifetime. Yet, she was actually still in square one.

The so-called growth and success were just false images created by money.

She felt just like a paper tiger, fragile and weak.

She closed her eyes slowly. By the time she opened her eyes again, she was greeted with a glimmer of light.

Wen Xinya, you’re going to turn eighteen very soon!

By then, you’ll be an adult.

So… from now on, you must learn how to truly grow and welcome your coming of age.
