Chapter 1394 - Grasping Wen Xinyas Weakness (1/2)

The thought of everything that happened in the past made an icy cold glare form in Xia Ruya’s eyes.

Ning Shuqian said emotionally, “You’ve had a hard time.”

Xia Ruya had only returned to the Li Family for three to four years and yet, she already had a stable position in the family and earned the trust of Old Mr. Li. Now, Old Mr. Li was extremely convinced and compliant towards Xia Ruya, who had managed to manipulate him.

Even Ning Shuqian could not help but be shocked.

Xia Ruya held onto Ning Shuqian’s hand and said gratefully, “I still have to thank you. If it weren’t because of your help, I wouldn’t have everything that I own today.”

She sounded extremely sincere and her expression seemed genuine too.

Before leaving Harbor City, Ning Shuqian said something to her which gave her a new impression of the power behind Ning Shuqian. However, she had always been a careful person and hence, did not agree to anything rashly.

Things in Harbor City were far more complicated than she had imagined. She thought that she would be given peace after forgoing her rights to the succession. However, she had belittled how cold and cruel the upper-class society of Harbor City could be.

After having been through plenty of danger, she finally realized that her scheming tricks were of no use in such a cruel environment.

Hence, she decided to seek help from Ning Shuqian.

To her surprise, Ning Shuqian’s supporter was extremely powerful and they could even intervene with the situation in Harbor City. With their help, she managed to grow, bit by bit, and found a stable position for herself in the Li Corporation.

Ning Shuqian smiled and said, “Why are you standing on ceremony with me? I watched you grow up. Of course I’d wish the best for you.”

Throughout all these years, she had also more or less realized that Xia Ruya was actually not as pure or kindhearted as she appeared to be on the surface. However, she did not find there to be anything wrong with that. Instead, she felt that Wen Xinya was the one who had caused her to be that way. As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is a friend. Hence, Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian became much closer because of their common enemy, Wen Xinya.

Xia Ruya secured a footing in the Li Family and that was beneficial for Ning Shuqian too.

Ning Shuqian asked concernedly, “By the way… how long are you planning to stay in the nation this time? Is there something else?”

“The economy here in Mainland China has been thriving in the past few years and the Li Family intends to expand here. I returned to Beijing this time because of this. Hence, I’m going to stay for a while,” said Xia Ruya, who did not intend to hide her agenda from Ning Shuqian.

Ning Shuqian smiled and said, “If there’s anything you need, feel free to seek help from me. I won’t turn you down as long as I can help.”

She was rather confident because Wen Haowen had already become rather compliant towards her and hence, it was akin to her being in control of Wen Haowen’s influence in the Wen Corporation.

Xia Ruya obviously wouldn’t turn her down. “In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

This time, she was the one who suggested to the Li Corporation that they expand to Mainland China, earning the approval of Old Mr. Li. If she could complete the project successfully, her position would be secure and no one would be able to affect it. The Li Corporation would soon belong to her too.

Hence, the plan was extremely important to her.

She needed plenty of help from Ning Shuqian too. Besides… she would also need Ning Shuqian’s instigator to give her a hand.

The two of them continued to chat with each other.

Xia Ruya again asked about Ning Yuya. “How is Yuya doing? She’s been contacting me less and less frequently in the past few years. I miss her too.”

However, Xia Ruya did not think that way deep down. Ning Yuya’s drug addiction and sordid lifestyle were absolutely disgusting and she did not wish to hang out with someone like her, though she would not express her disdain in front of Ning Shuqian.

The mention of Ning Yuya made Ning Shuqian’s face grow sullen. “She’s still like how she used to be.”
