Chapter 1345: Beating Him at His Own Game

Si Yiyan was the one who was most worried about Wen Xinya’s injury. Apart from applying ice and heat packs onto her ankle, he even specially hired a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to perform acupuncture on her injury every day. He even helped her prepare Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal foot baths every night, which would help with boosting blood circulation.

Although Wen Xinya’s ankle sprain had brought about a great deal of inconvenience to her daily life, she did not have too many problems because she had Si Yiyan around to take care of her. Besides, she did not have to go to school for lessons and hence, could stay at home to read up on some books and do her self-learning. She would also sketch some jewelry designs whenever she got an inspiration. Hence, life was rather vibrant for her.

While massaging Wen Xinya’s ankle, Si Yiyan asked, “Does it still hurt?”

He was extremely gentle with his movement and continuously observed her expression, for fear that he would end up hurting her.

Si Yiyan did not ask her about Xu Zhenyu’s visit because he respected Wen Xinya’s personal space and he would cause a strain on their relationship if he were to invade her privacy. As long as everything was in his control, he would be able to turn a blind eye.

Wen Xinya relaxed the muscles on her forehead and answered, “It’s a little sore, but it doesn’t hurt much anymore.”

The soreness in her ankle was accompanied by some pain, though the pain was not exactly excruciating. The reason behind her rapid recovery was Si Yiyan’s meticulous care and concern. Even Old Mr. Mo, who had a bad impression of Si Yiyan, was pleased with the care that he gave her and hence, turned a blind eye to the fact that Si Yiyan kept going to her room to see her.

Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Your ankle will heal completely in another few days.”

Si Yiyan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. A few days ago, he felt an immense heartache after hearing her lament about the pain in her ankle. He wished that he could take the pain in her place. Every single day, he would massage her ankle and feel sympathetic towards her whenever he saw the frown on her pale face and her rosy lips that she was biting.

Wen Xinya flipped through the newspapers to see that there were plenty of reports about the Wen Corporation’s jewelry exhibition, most of which revolved around the heirloom sales strategy of her mother’s designs. Of course, the Winter series jewelry designs that she had produced for the Wen Corporation had also garnered lots of attention from everyone who was looking forward to seeing her designs. It was said that her products would be launched on New Year’s Day.

Wen Xinya soon lost interest in the newspapers. She said, “Seems like Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen are refusing to give up. They’re definitely planning to use the chandelier incident to stir more controversial news and ruin the Wen Corporation’s reputation so as to stop me from launching my own brand and hamper the heirloom sales strategy.”

From today onwards, the tabloids and magazines seemed to have released even more reports about the jewelry exhibition and wrote about the chandelier incident in detail using rich vocabulary and exaggerated literary styles. They defined it to be a dangerous incident and expressed their qualms.

She could tell that there were two points to the writer’s qualms.

Firstly, the chandelier incident was extremely dangerous and yet, no one else was injured except Wen Xinya. Could it be that the Wen Corporation was intentionally trying to bring more attention to the jewelry exhibition?

Secondly, the jewelry exhibition was held by the Wen Corporation. Since such a mishap had happened, could it be because of the poor arrangements of the Wen Corporation?

Si Yiyan grabbed the medicated ointment and rubbed some in his palm. “They don’t know that the purpose of the exhibition is not to push for your own brand to be launched, but rather, it’s part of our attack against them.

“When they were still plotting against you and trying to stop you from launching your own brand and posing a threat to Wen Haowen, you’ve already targeted the Korean-Chinese Alliance. Hence, everything they do will be of no use.”

That was Wen Xinya’s smartest move. Since Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian were displeased with the fact that Old Mr. Wen wanted to use the exhibition to push for the launch of Wen Xinya’s brand, Wen Xinya decided to make do and help Old Mr. Wen host the exhibition. She even decided to showcase her mother’s designs so as to attract more attention.

In the eyes of Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian, Wen Xinya was just trying to use the jewelry exhibition and her mother’s designs to stabilize her own position in the Wen Corporation. It was something that they could not tolerate.

That was the reason Ning Shuqian decided to get rid of Wen Xinya and the catalyst for Wen Haowen’s decision to harm her.

However, no one knew that Wen Xinya’s real intention was to attack the Korean-Chinese Alliance.

Wen Xinya sneered. “That may be the case, but what Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian have done has still affected the Wen Corporation greatly. If they were to go on, the reputation of the Wen Corporation might be affected and the stock prices will plunge too.”

A derisive expression formed on Wen Xinya’s face and she said, “Wen Haowen is really despicable, greedy and selfish. He would resort to any means just to get what he wants. The Wen Corporation’s reputation will be ruined, but how would that do him any good? It’s really disappointing that he’d harm the Wen Corporation’s interests.”

The Korean-Chinese Alliance would stand to gain the most from the tarnishing of the Wen Corporation’s reputation. That was the only way they could take advantage and control the Wen Corporation and manipulate Wen Haowen.

Wen Haowen thought that he would be able to control the entire Wen Corporation as long as he got rid of Wen Xinya. However, it was just a far-fetched idea and he would one day realize that he had led the wolves in. He would then resent himself for what he had done, and pay the price for his mistakes.

Si Yiyan said calmly, “Wen Haowen wanted to use the chandelier incident to shed some negative light on the Wen Corporation. We can only beat him at his own game and let the media think that the matter is not as simple as a mere accident. In fact, we can let them link it to the conflict between him and Old Mr. Wen as well as the fact that he’s heartless towards you.”

Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen would be courting their own death if they were to act rashly at this juncture.

Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up and she said smilingly, “That’s a great idea. Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian are able to roam around so freely, all because everyone thinks of the chandelier incident as a pure accident. If the media were to suspect that there was something more to the matter, Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian wouldn’t dare to continue stirring more trouble.”

If the media were to suspect anything, Ning Shuqian would be the greatest suspect and Wen Haowen would be implicated too. Because they were the ones who had the greatest feud with Wen Xinya.
