Chapter 1353: Born to Be Enemies

Old Mr. Wen’s emotions were placated by Wen Xinya. Regardless of what Wen Haowen was plotting against the Wen Family and how he was trying to harm the interests of the Wen Corporation, Old Mr. Wen would not spare him anymore.

He was most worried about Wen Xinya because the Korean-Chinese Alliance had already begun attempting to kill Wen Xinya and he was certain that there would be more steps to their plan. Wen Xinya was in an extremely dangerous situation.

Fortunately, Old Mr. Mo’s reputation managed to give her some protection.

Old Mr. Wen changed the subject by saying, “Xinya, I just spoke to the chairman of the French Vogue International Jewelry Association over the phone and they’d like to have the right to put Puerile Phoenix on display forever. They’ve already sent their representatives over to Capital city to handle this matter.”

Honestly speaking, Old Mr. Wen was rather astonished when he received the call. However, he had been through plenty of major events in his life and hence, got a grip on himself soon enough.

He knew that Mo Yunyao had single-handedly designed a set of jewelry named “The Spirit Of The Dragon” during the Parisian Vogue International Jewelry Design Competition, which then got curated by the French Vogue Museum. It was then put on display and shot Mo Yunyao to fame.

Hence, that was the holy grail for all jewelry designers.

After hearing his words, Wen Xinya asked in shock, “Grandpa, what do you think of this?”

Wen Xinya was extremely elated because that meant that her mother’s masterpieces had already achieved world fame and hence, it would be easier for her to plot against the Korean-Chinese Alliance.

Old Mr. Wen said, “This matter has something to do with the heirloom sales strategy. Since I’ve handed the sales project to you, you shall be in charge of making decisions.”

Previously, during the jewelry design exhibition, Puerile Phoenix was the last piece of work that Mo Yunyao had designed especially for her daughter. That meant that Puerile Phoenix belonged to Wen Xinya and that she had the right to make the decision.

Besides, the Wen Corporation would not be too affected regardless of the decision she made.

Wen Xinya hesitated for a moment before answering with a nod, “Got it, Grandpa.”

If she were to concede to the French Vogue International Jewelry Association, she would be adding on to her mother’s legacy in the world of jewelry design. The Wen Corporation would definitely stand to gain more benefits too.

Of course, if she turned them down, the Wen Corporation wouldn’t suffer any losses as well. After all, the heirloom sales strategy was already very profitable for the Wen Corporation.

After giving it some careful thought, Wen Xinya began to understand everything. Although the matter was rather grave and serious, there was no conflict with the Wen Corporation’s interests. That was probably the reason Old Mr. Wen allowed her to take charge.

At this moment, Si Yiyan entered the living room with a tray of fruits. Upon sight of Old Mr. Wen, he greeted cordially. “Hello, Old Mr. Wen!”

The colorful fruits which included papayas, apples, pomelos, dates and several other types of fruits, formed a beautiful color combination.

Old Mr. Wen pulled a long face and questioned, “Mr. Si, what are you doing in the Mo Family home?”

Actually, Old Mr. Wen admired Si Yiyan for his strong abilities deep down. However, he somehow subconsciously kept his guard up and got all cautious whenever he saw Si Yiyan.

At this point, Old Mr. Wen had no idea that he was actually trying to defend and protect Wen Xinya.

By the time he understood the rationale, Si Yiyan would have already stolen his precious granddaughter away from him.

By then, he would truly be flabbergasted.

It turns out, some people were destined to be enemies.

For example, mothers and their daughters-in-law.

For example, fathers and their sons-in-law.

For example, grandfathers and their grandsons-in-law.

The animosity was all because their precious babies had been snatched away from them!

Actually, Old Mr. Mo felt the same too. Hence, he could never feel good about Si Yiyan, whom he often felt was inferior and not good enough for his granddaughter. He kept feeling like his granddaughter was with someone who was not worthy of her.

Si Yiyan answered politely, “I’m here for the same reason that you are, Old Mr. Wen.”

Si Yiyan could obviously tell that Old Mr. Wen was wary of him. He also knew the reason for his reaction. Hence, he immediately labeled Old Mr. Wen as the person who would vie with him for Wen Xinya and get in the way of their blissful life.

Old Mr. Wen was speechless.

I’m here to visit Xinya and show her some concern.

So, it’s the same for him?

Xinya is my granddaughter. It’s only right for me to show concern for her health.

But who is this Ninth Si? How is he related to Xinya? Why is he so self-righteous when speaking to me?

“Um… Grandpa, Ninth Si has been staying in the Mo Family home lately…” Wen Xinya swallowed her saliva while staring at them awkwardly and thinking to herself, Why does the mood feel a little strange? Are they destined to not get along with each other?

Old Mr. Wen screeched in displeasure. “What? He’s staying here? Did your Grampy agree to it?”

Si Yiyan smirked and said with glistening eyes, “Old Mr. Mo naturally agreed to it.”

Uh-oh… Wen Xinya frantically tried to salvage the situation. “Here’s what happened. Ninth Si is Grampy’s student and he has some questions about his studies that he would like to ask Grampy, so…”

Old Mr. Wen interrupted agitatedly. “He’s still staying in the Mo Family home!”

Old Mr. Wen had no idea why he had such a major overreaction, either. He just found it to be inappropriate.

Wen Xinya grimaced in despair. I think I said something wrong, but what?

Still smiling, Si Yiyan answered courteously, “There are many guest rooms here in the Mo Family home. Old Mr. Wen, you may move in for a short stay too.”

What a miraculous way to save the day!

Noticing the anger in Old Mr. Wen’s expression, Wen Xinya frantically fed him with some apple. “Grandpa, the apple is very sweet. Try some.”

She then stealthily glanced at Si Yiyan and glowered at him.

Si Yiyan’s eyes turned gloomy and he munched on an apple while exuding a mysterious vibe.

Old Mr. Wen temporarily forgot about his displeasure towards Si Yiyan because of Wen Xinya’s affectionate feeding.
