Chapter 1752: Watching a Fight from the Sidelines

Si Yiyan felt revitalized after a satisfying romp. Meanwhile, Wen Xinya leaned in his arms completely exhausted.

Wen Xinya asked grumpily, “Are you satisfied now?”

​ 

Her voice was still husky and sultry from their earlier bout of sexual activity.

He was so sulky just because she attended Xiao Chengyu’s funeral!

Si Yiyan gave an “mmm” in affirmation.

Wen Xinya nuzzled against his chest and said in a soft voice, “I was thinking about Xiao Corporation’s current situation, that’s all.”

Xiao Chengyu alone was not enough to occupy her mind.

Si Yiyan’s chilly demeanor warmed a little. “You should be focused on your Wen Corporation now.”

He was obviously still unhappy over her concern for Xiao Chengyu and the Xiao Family.

For all of Xia Ruya’s scheming, her final goal was still the Wen Corporation.

Wen Xinya sighed. “I know. T-K Group was defeated. They lost control over the entertainment city project. Li Corporation cannot stand alone. That’s why Xia Ruya made use of Ning Yuya to get rid of Xiao Chengyu, so as to help pave Chu Jingnan’s way into the Xiao Family. In this way, she would have more resources on her end to face off with the Wen Family.”

So Si Yiyan was not wrong in his earlier prediction that Xia Ruya would make her move against the Wen Family.

“Xia Ruya made use of Ning Yuya this time. Her move was very discreet.” Actually, he had already foretold that it was just a matter of time before Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan would attack the Xiao Family.

The Korean-Chinese Alliance suffered a major blow after T-K Group’s defeat and the failure of their plan to take control of the entertainment city project. Based on their usual secretive and low-profile way of doing things, the alliance would probably be laying low for a period of time.

This plan was obviously Xia Ruya’s own initiative. Nevertheless, she had enough manpower on hand to successfully accomplish her goal.

He had underestimated Xia Ruya, and how highly regarded she was by the Korean-Chinese Alliance.

“Although the Xiao Corporation is not as powerful as the T-K Group, they have a deep foundation in Country Z. They have been in operations here for so long and are highly reputed.”

Perhaps T-K Group was a great tiger in Country M.

But in Country Z, they were no match for the Xiao Corporation.

She continued, “If the Xiao Corporation really falls into Chu Jingnan’s hands and they combine powers with the Li Corporation—by then, the Wen Corporation will be completely unable to withstand their attacks. The Korean-Chinese Alliance will be able to advance their stronghold in Capital city. It will be very difficult to pit against the alliance then.”

Wen Xinya’s face was grim.

This battle between her and Xia Ruya.

She had dealt Xia Ruya a double blow on T-K Group and the entertainment city project. Both Xia Ruya and the Korean-Chinese Alliance should have been greatly impaired, but Xia Ruya’s scheme against the Xiao Family showed that she was far from being beaten down.

It was hard to say who would win or lose in this battle.

But Si Yiyan disagreed. “That might not be the case. Although both Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan are extremely crafty, it will not be so easy to successfully target the Xiao Corporation.”

Wen Xinya thought otherwise. “The Xiao Corporation’s board of directors and shareholders each have their own personal agendas and are embroiled in one big messy conflict now. With Xiao Chengyu’s death and Old Mr. Xiao being hospitalized, Xiao Zhiyuan is completely unable to hold down the fort on his own. This is the most opportune time for Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan to weasel their way in.”

Xia Ruya still had the Korean-Chinese Alliance backing her too.

To achieve her own goals, Xia Ruya would definitely try her best to help Chu Jingnan. Wen Xinya had personally experienced just how far-reaching the might of the Korean-Chinese Alliance was, and she would never dare to underestimate them.

In her previous life, Xia Ruya had partnered up with Chu Jingnan to successfully take down the Xiao Corporation.

“Xinya, you have overlooked one point. For Chu Jingnan to take control of the Xiao Corporation, he must first face the problem of having no connections!”

The Xiao Corporation had extremely complex inner workings. It was hard to imagine how Chu Jingnan could succeed without any internal connections.

Wen Xinya was taken aback. She couldn’t help sighing. “You are right. How could I have overlooked this point?”

Actually, she had already disregarded all memories of her previous life. However, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya’s mutual scheming against the Xiao Corporation and Xiao Chengyu’s death had once again allowed those memories to affect her.

How could this life and the previous one be the same?

In her previous life, Chu Jingnan easily took over the Xiao Corporation as he had made use of her to garner connections within the upper society. In the end, he had successfully weaseled his way into the Xiao Family and reclaimed his blood ties.

In this life, even with Xia Ruya’s help, what was Chu Jingnan going to use to gain control of the Xiao Corporation?

The Xiao Corporation’s board of directors and shareholders were not easy targets.

Si Yiyan held her hands which felt a bit cold. “Don’t forget there is still Old Mr. Xiao.”

Old Mr. Xiao was ill but not dead.

Xiao Zhiyuan could not manage the entire Xiao Corporation, but Old Mr. Xiao could.

Old Mr. Xiao was such a crafty old fox. With Chu Jingnan eyeing them from the sidelines, how would he fail to decipher the reason behind Xiao Chengyu’s death?

There was no way Old Mr. Xiao would forgive Chu Jingnan for his greedy ambitions toward the Xiao Corporation.

Wen Xinya composed herself. “From Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan’s move, it looks like they are a bit overeager to see results.”

She did not believe that Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan did not think of all these factors. But the two of them were just too confident of their own capabilities and thought too highly of themselves. As a result, they chose to take such a major risk.

“Vengeance is a terrible thing. It can make slaves out of people. It can make people lose all sense of reason, lose their calm and lose all perspective. This is the true reason why Xia Ruya will always lose to you.”

Xia Ruya had lost to Xinya again and again. She hated Xinya to the core and now harbored an obsessive desire to defeat her.

Just by that alone showed that she had already lost to Xinya.

Wen Xinya nodded as realization dawned on her.

Si Yiyan said, “I am sure there will more drama with the Xiao Corporation. All we can do now is to sit by the sidelines and watch the fight. No matter who wins or loses, the Xiao Corporation will be greatly weakened. Nevertheless, there is nothing for you to fear.”

The Xiao Family had lost Xiao Chengyu. This was something that could never be changed.

“As cunning as Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan are, they couldn’t defeat you in the end. You are too insightful and brilliant a strategist.”

Wen Xinya raised her eyes to look at this confident and composed man sitting on the sofa. In just a few sentences, he had managed to accurately and concisely analyze the entire situation.

And this man belonged to her.

She had never felt so happy in her life, as at this very moment.

They held each other’s gazes.

Her eyes glowed softly with admiration for him and her expression was one of loving adoration. Si Yiyan felt his heart stir with emotions.

In this world, there would never be another woman like her who harbored such a pure love for him.
