Chapter 1698 - Wave After Wave of Trouble (1/2)

After Wen Haowen publicly announced his intentions to break off all father-daughter ties with Wen Xinya, Yang Ziyu’s death after falling down the stairs and the birth of her child was once again being stirred up by the media.

At the same time, the press exposed the fact that Old Mr. Wen had been hospitalized and was in a coma over the past two weeks.

The entire Wen Corporation was engulfed by the media frenzy.

It was just wave after wave of troubles for the Wen Family.

Old Mr. Wen leaned against his bed reading today’s newspapers, his face still pale and haggard from his recent coma. “I have been unconscious for half a month and that bastard Wen Haowen created so much trouble. He is a disgrace to the Wen Family.”

He was somewhat agitated and his voice shook with rage.

Right before he passed out, Wen Haowen had just stood by and watched him falter and even took away his pills, cutting off his last chance at survival. That scene kept replaying repeatedly in Old Mr. Wen’s mind.

He knew long ago that Wen Haowen was a lost cause and he had already given up on this son of his.

Nevertheless, he could still barely withstand the fact that this heartless bastard was his son.

Wen Xinya hurriedly took the newspapers away from him. “Grandpa, you have just awoken. The doctor instructed you to concentrate on rest and recovery. So don’t stress yourself out over the Wen Corporation’s matters. I can still hold the fort for now.”

It had been two days since Grandpa first woke up. His condition had been improving, but he required a lot of rest.

As a result, she had yet to tell him of all the things that had happened.

As for the Wen Corporation!

The recovering share price had once again started to decline after news of Grandpa’s illness, as well as Wen Haowen and Yang Ziyu’s issue, was exposed. Luckily she was around to keep things in check at Wen Corporation, and none of the employees raised any trouble.

However, the board of directors and the shareholders would not be so easily placated.

Old Mr. Wen sighed. “Thank goodness you have been able to oversee everything regarding the Wen Family and the Wen Corporation while I have been in a coma. It must have been hard on you!”

If not for her, who knew what the Wen Corporation might have ended up like.

The entertainment city project was nearing completion. He could rightly imagine the terrible straits Wen Haowen must have left the company in.

It must have been an uphill task for her to keep the Wen Corporation going after Wen Haowen’s misdeeds.

There was no way she could handle the board of directors and the shareholders.

Wen Xinya gently covered Grandpa with the blanket. “Grandpa, I’m the mistress of the Wen Family. It’s my duty to step up when the Wen Corporation meets with a crisis.”

Wen Xinya was truly very happy that Grandpa had woken up.

It was like she could finally let go of that huge rock that had been squashing her heart.

With Grandpa taking over the reins, things wouldn’t be so tough at Wen Corporation now.

Old Mr. Wen patted her hand. He hesitated but still asked, “Yang Ziyu’s child…”

If he hadn’t read today’s papers, he wouldn’t have known that Wen Haowen and Yang Ziyu were involved and even bore an illegitimate kid.

Although the child carried the blood of the Wen Family, an illegitimate child was no honorable thing. Even though the Wen Family finally had an heir now, it would remain a shameful affair.

More importantly, the child had come at an inopportune time. He wondered if Xinya…

“We have already done DNA testing and confirmed that he indeed carries the blood of the Wen Family. His condition is stable and is still in an incubator at the hospital. When he reaches full term, he will be able to live like a normal baby.”

Wen Xinya’s tone subconsciously grew softer as she spoke about that child. She had been visiting him over the past two days. The skin of newborn babies was red and wrinkled and looked rather ugly. Nevertheless, the sight still made one’s heart grow all fuzzy and warm.
