With great difficulty, Wen Haowen escaped the reporters’ encirclement and returned to the Wen Family’s old mansion.

However, unexpectedly, many reporters were also actually camping around the vicinity of the old mansion. Once again, he was instantly surrounded by reporters and only managed to really get them off his back after a long time.

As Wen Haowen entered the courtyard, he could still hear the reporters outside banging on the black metal doors and snapping away at his back view. Instantly, he felt like he was being chased by wild wolves and escaping frantically.

Wen Haowen came to the living room and saw the Old Man sitting on the sofa, his cold face all stern and harsh and his gaze sharp and icy, almost materializing into a sword. Subconsciously, his pupils constricted, not daring to look straight at him.

Old Mrs. Wen saw Wen Haowen and wanted to speak. However, upon contacting the Old Man’s horrifying expression, she down at her own toes with an awkward expression.

And Ning Shuqian was sitting on the sofa, crying and sobbing away and wiping her eyes with Xia Ruya comforting her by her side.

Wen Xinya sat on the sofa nonchalantly and shot him a plain look as he entered the house before looking away, sipping tea.

“Father! Mother!” Slightly embarrassed, Wen Haowen greeted them. He subconsciously tugged at his tie as he felt slightly ashamed of his own haggardness at this moment.

Old Mr. Wen asked openly with an icy cold tone, “What’s the matter regarding the news on the papers and magazines today?”

Regarding this incident, he didn’t mind much—all these years, there had been many scandals regarding Wen Haowen, so this was considered normal. However, what he couldn’t accept was the papers and magazines reporting news regarding Xinya.

Wen Haowen said, “I was only at Jiayuan to have dinner with Director Wang and the rest. They have all along been lecherous and indecent and asked for hostesses. It’s inevitable to socialize a little, just that not sure why the media got wind of it.”

Old Mr. Wen’s gaze intensified and locked onto Wen Haowen. “Why are you hanging out with them—I remember you’ve never been close to these minor shareholders.”

Wen Haowen’s expression froze. In the face of the Old Man’s harsh and piercing look, his smile was rather forced. “We merely met by chance. Thus, we had a meal together. Although I’m not close to them, some socializing is needed after all.”

Old Mr. Wen laughed in anger, his sharp eyes filled with mockery. “Everything is already clearly written all over the papers and magazines—you were the one who asked the few minor shareholders to Jiayuan with the main intention to convince and incite them to ask me for an explanation regarding Xinya’s scandal causing the Wen Corporation’s shares to plummet and to pursue Xinya’s responsibility.”

Wen Haowen widened his eyes and stood dumbstruck, yet tried to argue instinctively, “Father, the things on the papers are nonsense—don’t believe them. After all, Xinya is my daughter. How could I do such a thing?”

Old Mr. Wen sneered and said, “I’ve already called Director Wang and the other directors this morning. They’ve already verified the reports on the papers and magazines. When are you going to stop denying?”
