Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1116: The Great Three in Beijing

After Wen Haowen was placated by Ning Shuqian, he dragged her to bed for a good 30 minutes, only stopping when they ran out of energy. With Ning Shuqian’s guarantee, he felt more at ease and prepared to return to the company.

Wen Haowen tidied his attired and carried his briefcase. As he was about to leave, he asked out of nowhere, “Am I stupid?”

Every time he thought of the condescending words said by Wen Xinya at the conference room, he would feel unsettled.

Ning Shuqian was taken aback. After a pause, she stuttered. “Hao... Haowen, you... why would you even ask this?”

What did Wen Haowen mean by that? Could he have heard her calling him stupid in her mind?

Thinking about that, a shiver ran down her spine.

Wen Haowen’s face slowly turned pale after her lack of response.

Ning Shuqian reacted and immediately continued, “Haowen, how can you be stupid? If that were the case, I would not have married you.”

Even Ning Shuqian cringed at herself for saying such cheesy words.

Was Wen Haowen stupid?

The answer was definitely yes.

There was no one else in this world who could be as stupid as Haowen.

Even after receiving an answer, he could still not get over it. He nodded his head before leaving the house.

Ning Shuqian heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest as she said, “Thank god he did not find out.”

If Wen Haowen had found out that she had called him stupid behind his back, he would not let her off. If she were to be scolded or beaten, that was still not a problem. However, things would not end well for her if she were to be blacklisted by a despicable and unfaithful person like Wen Haowen.

Ning Shuqian thought Wen Haowen was acting a little strange. She muttered to herself, “Weird, why would he ask that question? Could it be he found out that he himself is stupid?”

Afterward, she shook her head. That was not possible. Wen Haowen was proud and arrogant, there was no way he would think he was a fool.

Ning Shuqian did not ponder any further. After all, she had more important things to deal with.

Ning Shuqian ran into the storeroom and swept all the random objects aside, then gently pried open a ceramic tile, revealing a little cell phone under it.

As she held the cell phone in her hands, her body began to tremble in fear.

She was unwilling to call “that person”. Every time she heard that electronic, cold and emotionless voice through the phone, she could not help but shiver.

However, she had no choice but to call. If she did not personally explain to that person about the entertainment city project being put on hold, she would not be let off easy.

Ning Shuqian took a deep breath and dialed the familiar number.

As usual, the call was answered on the first ring.

Ning Shuqian’s chest tightened as if there was someone suffocating her. Subconsciously, she held her breath and said, “The entertainment city project has temporarily been put on hold. According to Wen Haowen, it seems that the project will not be executed.”

There was a dead silence. She could not even hear any hint of breathing from the other side of the call.

The suspense was torturing her. She was anxious, scared and trembling. However, she still explained the situation without a single lie.

She placed emphasis on the fact that Wen Xinya had connections with the Jiayuan Club. “I suspect that the BOSS of Jiayuan Club is actually the person supporting Wen Xinya from the back. We can use this opportunity to investigate clearly.”

He had mentioned before that the person behind Wen Xinya was not easy to deal with. Since Wen Xinya was always cautious, they did not have any leads. Now that Wen Xinya had left some clues, she thought that they could make use of this chance to investigate her thoroughly.

Just then, the cold voice replied, “Do not mess with the Jiayuan Club.”

Ning Shuqian was rather astonished. “Why?”

The voice sounded even colder as it said, “You don’t have to care about anything else. Just listen to me.”

Jiayuan Club’s background was too complex such that even he could not get any information. Until today, he did not know what role the Jiayuan Club played in the Black Sunday incident.

The more mysterious they were, the more fearsome.

Ning Shuqian was indignant. “But it’s just a family club. Even if their background is unknown, how much power can they have? How scary can they be?”

No matter what, she wanted to catch Wen Xinya by her tail. Hence, she was not willing to let this go.

“The older you get the more short-sighted you’ve become. No wonder you are always losing to your stepdaughter. You are simply too stupid. Let me tell you, there’s the Great Three in Beijing which you should never mess with. Do you know what they are? The military circle’s timber, the Mo Family’s philosophy, and the Jiayuan’s bamboo!”

Ning Shuqian was stunned.

The Mo Family’s philosophy and the Jiayuan’s bamboo!

They were too profound for her to comprehend.

Out of the Big Three, Wen Xinya had taken ahold of two of them. One was her Grampy, and the other she had connections with. No wonder she could be so arrogant in the Capital city and not care about anybody else.

There were actually so many people willing to support Wen Xinya.

“I know what to do regarding the Jiayuan Club. You don’t have to be involved.” The other party’s voice was filled with annoyance, yet still sounded as cold as always.

Ning Shuqian shuddered. She said uneasily, “About the entertainment city project being stopped, what should we do next? We have planned the project for such a long time and paid a great price for it. We can’t just give up on it.”

She would really have nothing left if she gave up on it.

She would no longer have any value in the eyes of this person if she gave up on it.

Without any value, she would naturally be abandoned.

The voice paused before replying, “Relax, the entertainment city project is inevitable. Neither Wen Xinya or Wen Zhihang that old man can do anything to stop it.”

Ning Shuqian was on cloud nine. She exclaimed, “You have a way?”

She did not expect that even after everything, the entertainment city project was able to be executed.

“After two days, visit Madam Zhang with Wen Haowen and you’ll know what to do at that time. As for Wen Haowen... you must remember to put him under complete control.” Although Wen Haowen was a useful pawn, he was hard to control. However, there was no other suitable pawn in the Wen Family, and he had no choice but to settle for him. If it were not for his intention to manipulate Wen Haowen, he would have had long abandoned a worthless trash like Ning Shuqian.

After hearing him, Ning Shuqian was finally at ease.
