Chapter 857: Experiencing What It’s Like to Have Your Arm Broken Again

Although Wen Xinya paid attention to everything that was happening to the Xiao Family, she did not know much about Chu Jingnan because she was focusing on the Wen Corporation’s stock market prices as well as the Ai Shang product launch.

The product launch was almost over and they’d already successfully launched their products in the Chinese market. There had also been massive sales in the rest of the European, American and Asian markets, and Ai Shang had managed to earn the compliments of satisfied customers.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief. The plan that she had plotted against the Xiao Family was finally working, and the results of the first step were already out. The Xiao Family suffered a major loss and a decrease in their power. She reckoned that they might lose their place in the four major families. The Wen Corporation’s stock prices were doing well and rising as she had expected. The successful product launch symbolized the Wen Family’s wealth and capabilities.

The Wen Family… went to a higher level because of the product launch!

As for Chu Jingnan…

“Wen Xinya!” screeched a menacing voice.

Wearing her 6-inch heels, Wen Xinya stopped in her tracks and turned around slowly and gracefully, as if she was being filmed by a slo-mo camera. She caught sight of Chu Jingnan.

She raised her brows coldly and answered, “I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s you, Mr. Chu!”

Chu Jingnan had a sullen expression on his face and he looked rather disheveled and haggard, a stark contrast to his usual presentable self. It was as if his pretentious front had been stripped off. He looked rather stern and menacing.

“Wen Xinya, you’ve got a great plan this time. I’ve truly belittled you.” Chu Jingnan glanced at her with a complicated expression. A few days ago, he called her to show off his victory because he thought that he had beaten her. Yet, the tables had turned within just a few days, greatly shocking him. He stared at her beautiful, slender and exquisite hands that possessed the power to change the world.

“Well said! Well said.” Wen Xinya smiled and glanced at Chu Jingnan in contempt.

Chu Jingnan thought about the time when he had a smug expression on his face when speaking to Wen Xinya. He suddenly felt like the look on her face was an eyesore, making him feel incredibly ashamed. He darted forward and grabbed her wrist tightly before hollering. “Wen Xinya, did you find out about my true identity long ago?”

He began to think about the phone call he made to Wen Xinya a few days ago. Back then, she casually mentioned that he was just like Xiao Zhiyuan’s son, though he did not think too much about it. In hindsight… it seemed that she had brought it up intentionally.

Wen Xinya stared at his hand and her face grew sullen. “Take your dirty hand away from me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty. You don’t want to taste the feeling of having your hand broken again, do you?”

Chu Jingnan never learns from his lesson and he always likes getting physical. What a bad habit. He ought to change it! 

Chu Jingnan’s rationality was consumed by his anger and he was too enraged to even be bothered by her warning. He tightened his grip on her arm and questioned, “Wen Xinya, how exactly did you find out about that?”

Apart from his mother and himself, no one else knew about the fact that he was Xiao Zhiyuan’s illegitimate son. He had always been keeping that secret to himself, and he found it extremely strange and suspicious that Wen Xinya would know about it.

Instead of answering him, Wen Xinya placed a hand on his wrist and pinched it gently before pulling it with all her might. The loud and hair-raising sound of his bones cracking filled the air.

“Ah…” Chu Jingnan shrieked in pain and staggered backwards before falling onto the ground. He grabbed his wrist and grimaced in excruciating pain.

He did not expect that Wen Xinya would be so relentless. She was much crueler this time compared to the time when they were at Ninth-Heaven. Not only did she dislocate his wrist, she even pulled his fingers. It was truly a terrible feeling.

Staring at him coldly from above, Wen Xinya exuded an intimidating and domineering aura. She quipped angrily. “Mr. Chu, it’s a bad habit to get physical all the time, especially with women. That’s very disrespectful. Fancy you making yourself out to be so classy, refined and gentlemanly. Yet, you don’t even have basic manners. You’re just putting up a front.”

She was way too disgusted by Chu Jingnan and she felt extremely repulsed by his presence.

The pain in Chu Jingnan’s dislocated wrist made him turn as pale as a sheet. Trying his best to bear with the pain, he got up from the ground and questioned, “Wen Xinya, how did you find out about that?”

Wen Xinya knew that he was referring to the fact that he was the illegitimate son of the Xiao Family. Pretending to be confused, she asked, “Mr. Chu, pardon me. I don’t understand what you mean!”

Chu Jingnan gritted his teeth and retorted. “Wen Xinya, drop the act. You know what I mean.”

If she did not know of his true identity, she wouldn’t have easily laid such a trap and plotted against the Xiao Family to make them suffer such a terrible plight. He had already been sacked by the Xiao Corporation, and Xiao Zhiyuan’s secretary visited him and his mother at his home yesterday to give them a large sum of money. They were even warned to refrain from spouting any nonsense and were told to leave the city. Xiao Zhiyuan had even arranged for him to be admitted to a world-class university in America.

He knew that the Xiao Family was not planning to acknowledge him.

Well… given the current circumstances, how could the Xiao Family possibly want to acknowledge him?

He was initially planning to build a strong network of connections before securing his footing in the Xiao Corporation, making it impossible for Xiao Zhiyuan to resist his capabilities. He would then get rid of Lin Yuechan’s father, undermine Xiao Chengyu and reveal his true identity. By then… the Xiao Family would have no choice but to accept him. However, he did not expect that everything would be foiled by Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya took a step back and said calmly, “Mr. Chu, if there’s nothing else you’d like to say, I’ll be taking my leave now. I”m sure you know that I’m busy preparing for my final examinations lately and I have a ton of things to do. I don’t have the time to chat with you.”

Chu Jingnan turned pale in exasperation. Since she was so busy preparing for her final examinations, how could she still have the time to intervene with the Xiao Family matters? However, he had no choice but to concede. He lowered his voice and asked, “How did you know that I’m the illegitimate son of the Xiao Family?”

He did not know why he was so stubborn and insisted on getting an answer. He had always known that the answer concerned his future, but he wanted to find out what Wen Xinya had been hiding.

Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya said, “It turns out… you’re really the Xiao Family’s illegitimate son! Previously, everyone was discussing about you and CEO Xiao during the Ai Shang product launch. I thought that those were just false rumors. I didn’t expect it to be real.”

She obviously wouldn’t admit that she was well aware of his identity.

Turning as pale as a sheet, Chu Jingnan murmured, “Wen Xinya, you…”

Wen Xinya glanced at him coldly before turning around and walking away.
