Chapter 1168 - Superb Acting Skills (2/2)
That’s right, it was all just an act staged by Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya. The pills that she had fed to him just now were just some health supplements concocted by Du Ruo.
Their intentions were to teach the Li Family a lesson. Since they were so haughty and disrespectful, Old Mr. Wen decided to teach them a lesson openly and let Xia Ruya’s plans backfire. Doesn’t the Li Family want to use money to cut off all ties with the Wen Family?
In that case, the Wen Family shall deal with the Li Family using reputation.
Old Mr. Wen, who had just been acting like he was incredibly agitated, sat up straight and burst into laughter. “You’re not too bad yourself. If you didn’t cooperate with me, my plan wouldn’t have been executed so seamlessly.”
If the Wen Family were to take the insult, they would seem like weak pushovers. The Wen Family’s authority was not to be challenged and this was already his bottom line. However, if they were to deal with the Li Family using some harsh methods, they would fall into the Li family’s trap.”
The Li Family’s behavior angered the Wen Family by pretending like they could not be heartless towards the Wen Family even though they were cruel to Xia Ruya.
They wanted the Wen Family’s reputation to be ruined.
If their plan were to work out, they would have killed two birds with one stone.
However, all of their plans were ruined because of Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya laughed out loud and said, “Grandpa, the health supplements seem to be rather effective. I’ll get Ruoruo to make some more for Xia Ruya. Didn’t she say that Old Mr. Li’s health has deteriorated? We shall pay them back for their kindness.”
I wonder how Xia Ruya would feel if she were to find out that we were just acting. The Wen Family has never been pushovers.
Old Mr. Wen applauded and guffawed. “My thoughts exactly.”
Since Old Mr. Li had given them such a great “gift”, they ought to return the kind gesture. After all, the Chinese were known for their good etiquette.
Wen Xinya glanced at the items on the coffee table and asked, “Grandpa, what do you plan to do with this money?”
Given Old Mr. Wen’s character, he definitely wouldn’t want to keep the money. Neither did Wen Xinya.
Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “Didn’t we just establish the charity fund? Since we’ve already been given the money, we might as well donate it to the fund. We’ll be able to help more people with it. It’d be good for the reputation of the Wen Family and the Wen Corporation. Since the Li Family has given us money, we ought to put it to good use.”
Wen Xinya had mistaken Old Mr. Wen. Although he had his boundaries, he wasn’t that high as to decline the money. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted those 500,000 yuan from that woman and used it to establish the Wen Corporation back then.
After hearing his words, Wen Xinya was dumbfounded. Grandpa is really cunning. That old fogy Li is going to be fuming if he finds out.
Old Mr. Wen had no idea how valuable of a lesson he had given his granddaughter today.
