Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1912 - You Are No Longer The Young Mistress Of The Li Family

Yesterday night, Old Mr. Li, who was residing all the way in Harbor City, had personally called her on the phone.

Due to Xia Ruya, the relationship between the Li Family and the Wen Family had deteriorated. Old Mr. Li was more senior than Grandpa and so was a bit more arrogant. He had never thought much about the Wen Family but had set aside his pride to personally call a junior like her. Wen Xinya had been very astonished by his move.

Over the phone, Old Mr. Li had raised the idea of selling all of Li Corporation’s shares to the Wen Corporation.

She finally realized at that moment just how formidable this old man was. This senior, who had dominated Harbor City for half a century.

Li Corporation had already collapsed. They had a massive cash flow shortage that could not be fulfilled and were no longer able to sustain their operations. More importantly, the Li Corporation had been dragged into the swirling vortex that was the Korean-Chinese Alliance. If he didn’t ditch the Li Corporation now, Old Mr. Li himself would be sucked in and demolished along with it all.

Having lived close to a century, his experience and foresight were second to none. His aspirations and determination were even more awe-inspiring. As a result, he had decided to completely abandon Xia Ruya, this granddaughter of his who had betrayed his trust and destroyed the Li Family. He decided to sell the Li Corporation to the Wen Corporation.

In this way, although he would lose the Li Corporation, he would still preserve the centuries-old foundation of the Li Family. They wouldn’t end up completely devastated. With his own personal fortune, he would still be able to live large in Harbor City.

In his own words: "Miss Wen probably thinks I am a joke. I didn’t think through things clearly that year. The Wen Family had raised her as their own daughter for 12 years and even when her identity was exposed, they were willing to accept her as their adopted daughter. If she could still betray the Wen Family, how could the Li Family hope that she wouldn’t betray us?

"Anyway, it’s too late for regrets now. She is greedy, ambitious, and selfish. With the destruction of the Li Corporation, our grandfather-granddaughter relationship can also be considered totally ended. I already have one foot in the grave and will no longer take things to heart. I only hope to live out the rest of my life in peace."

And Wen Xinya agreed to buy the Li Corporation only because of its hundred-year-old foundation, as well as the various sales channels it had accumulated in Harbor City and across the world, having been in the luxury fashion industry for so many years. These qualities were just what the Wen Corporation needed at the moment.

If the Wen Corporation truly wished to enter the global affordable luxury sector, it would need to possess strong sales channels.

And that was why today’s meeting had occurred.

In her entire life, Wen Xinya had only truly ever admired and respected one person—her Grampy.

But after negotiating with Old Mr. Li, she also started to truly respect this decisive and candid old man.

"From now on, Li Corporation completely belongs to the Wen Family. It will no longer bear the surname Li!"

Wen Xinya’s words had Xia Ruya widen her eyes in shock. Her breathing quickened and she shrieked in reflex. "Impossible. Wen Xinya, you are speaking nonsense."

How could the Li Family become the Wen Family?

This was impossible.

Impossible, impossible...

At this moment, Xia Ruya had already fallen into an unending circle of darkness, completely unable to pull herself out of it.

Special Assistant Zhu finally spoke up. "Old Mr. Li has already sold the Li Corporation to the Wen Corporation. Both parties have signed the contract. From now on, the whole of Li Corporation belongs to the Wen Corporation."

He looked at Xia Ruya.

From his past impression, Xia Ruya was a person who would maintain a perfect elegant exterior no matter when and where, so as to prove that she was cultured and raised well. He never realized that hidden under all that perfection and elegance was this hideous and detestable side.

Perhaps this was her true face.

As a result, the Li Corporation, which had dominated Harbor City for so many years, was now destroyed by her very hand.

Xia Ruya was unwilling to believe it. Her eyes narrowed and her pale face twisted and stiffened. "Impossible. Grandpa would never keep such a major matter from me. It must be you... you took this action on your own accord, right?"

Xia Ruya had always hated Special Assistant Zhu. She could feel that Grandpa trusted Special Assistant Zhu much more than her. Grandpa would rather hand over a large portion of the Li Corporation’s shareholdings to an outsider like Special Assistant Zhu than give it to her. Grandpa had claimed she was too young and didn’t have the experience. The Li Corporation’s board of directors was a complicated bunch and she needed to rely on Special Assistant Zhu’s support. Only then would she be able to successfully take over the reins of the company.

Excuses. They were all just excuses.

Grandpa must have been senile and relied too much upon Special Assistant Zhu. She was not surprised that Special Assistant Zhu had sold the Li Corporation.

Special Assistant Zhu remained calm and said mildly, "It doesn’t matter what you believe. Everything is true. In addition, Old Mr. Li asked me to tell you that you are no longer his granddaughter. In the future, you are no longer the mistress of the Li Family. Old Mr. Li said that you have truly disappointed him."

He still remembered Old Mr. Li’s expression as he said those words.

As the Li Family’s only descendant, Old Mr. Li had doted upon and trusted Xia Ruya so much, only to receive betrayal and trickery in return.

It had caused Old Mr. Li much pain.

Xia Ruya looked like she had been struck by lightning. She started to sway and then staggered backward, shaking her head. She hollered in rage. "No... impossible. I’m the only descendant of the Li Family and the one and only heir. There is no way he will do this to me. There is no way he will abandon me!"

As she shrieked out those last words, her entire person had already descended into a crazed state.

She had forgotten that there were many others within this meeting room. She had forgotten to maintain her flawless facade. All she could think about now was that if Grandpa had really abandoned her, she would truly have nothing left.

She didn’t know what she had done wrong. Why did she have to endure the fate of being abandoned over and over again? First by the Wen Family, then the Xia Family, and now the Li Family.

It was as if she had an inescapable curse cast upon her.

Special Assistant Zhu raised his brows slightly at her crazed manner. "As the one and only descendant and heir to the Li Corporation, Old Mr. Li held you in very high regard. But how did you repay him? You made use of his trust to secretly funnel nearly 70% of the financial resources held by the Li Corporation in Harbor City over to China. You destroyed the Li Corporation’s operations, which was painstakingly built up over hundreds of years. You clearly know that Old Mr. Li’s health is not too good, but since you came to China, how many times have you returned to visit him? How many times have you called him every month?"

By the time he finished his speech, Special Assistant Zhu himself felt somewhat pained and anguished.

Xia Ruya’s cold-hearted character was already beyond doubt.

Perhaps it was because she also used to be the Young Mistress of the Wen Family and was groomed as their descendant and heir, and so he instinctively started to compare those two ladies.

And he couldn’t help shaking his head.

There was just no point in comparing the two of them.

Whether it was Wen Xinya’s gracious manner or her air of magnanimity, Xia Ruya was not her equal at all.
