Although Grandpa's attitude and position in dealing with Xia Ruya and the Li family's affairs were quite clear and full of wisdom, Wen Xinya could still get a glimpse of his mood from his cloudy and gloomy eyes.
More than ten years of hard work and emotions invested cannot be ended by just saying it's over, and Xia Ruya actually disregarded the friendship they had in the past and even teamed up with the Li family to humiliate the Wen family. This completely chilled Grandpa's heart.
Wen Xinya didn't know what to say about this.
Back at the apartment, Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan talked about Xia Ruya's visit: "Now I finally understand what it means to not be from the same family. The Li family is such a person that I really can't praise them."
Xia Ruya is selfish, cold and heartless. The Li family is no worse than Xia Ruya, but Xia Ruya is better at hiding, while the Li family has been rampant in Hong Kong for many years, so they seem more justified.
Si Yiyan said calmly, "Why do you think the Li family ended up with so few offspring and their bloodline was almost cut off?"
He is a Buddhist and naturally believes in karma. The Li family acted too domineeringly and harshly, using any means necessary to achieve their goals, which damaged their virtues. As a result, the retribution fell on their descendants. Although Xia Ruya now has the blood of the Li family, it has been four generations since she was born. It is the blood of the granddaughter. In terms of DNA, she only has about 60 to 70 percent genetic matching similarity with the Li family. Strictly speaking, she is not a legitimate descendant.
The Li family was forced into a desperate situation by their bloodline, so they accepted Xia Ruya as the heir.
Wen Xinya understood what he meant and quite agreed with him. Si Yiyan was extremely powerful and had the final say over life and death, but even so, he still had his own set of principles in doing things. He was even more enthusiastic about charity than before. In his own words, he was doing things to accumulate virtue. He said... Although doing good deeds may not necessarily bring good rewards, doing evil will definitely not have a good end. The purpose of accumulating blessings in this life is to grow old together with his lover, and accumulating good deeds will benefit future generations in the future.
Si Yiyan held her hand and said, "Don't take the Li family too seriously."
Wen Xinya said: "I know that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. The Li family is rich, but that is only in Hong Kong City, across the coastline. However, the current situation of the Wen family is already bad enough. Now the Li family is eyeing them from behind. We have to be on guard."
The entertainment city project is still ongoing, and matters regarding investment cooperation are still being intensively arranged. It has already affected the internal operations of the Wen's Group. The shareholders are very supportive of this, and even my grandfather can't stop it now.
The entertainment city project has always been a thorn in her heart. To put it bluntly... what she is really worried about is not the Li family, but the entertainment city project, which will give you an opportunity to take advantage of.
Si Yiyan said slowly: "Although the Li family is wealthy and has deep roots in Hong Kong, it has begun to decline over the years. Old Master Li has no children to inherit the family business. Although he controls the huge family business of the Li family, he has lost the mood to manage it carefully. Besides... He is already over 80 years old this year and no longer has the energy to manage the Li Group. The Li family is no longer as prestigious as it once was."
In the past, the Li family was one of the richest families in Hong Kong, but now, the Li family can only be ranked in the top five. Although it looks like a behemoth, it is actually weak inside.
Wen Xinya said, "That being said, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Xia Ruya will definitely cling to the Li family as a life-saving straw, and the Li family... because Xia Ruya is their only bloodline, no matter what happens, they will not give up Xia Ruya easily. From what the Li family did today, it can be seen that Xia Ruya will definitely manipulate the Li family to deal with the Wen family. What I am really worried about is that Xia Ruya... has been the adopted daughter of the Wen family for many years, and she knows a lot about the Wen family and even some of the Wen Group's affairs. This will become her bargaining chip to deal with the Wen family."
The Li family is not scary, what is scary is Xia Ruya. Xia Ruya's heart is too vicious and too dirty. As long as she has any capital in her hands, it can be turned into a sharp blade in her hand to hurt people.
Xia Ruya is very scheming. She knows how to plan and manage things at a young age. After knowing that she is not of the Wen family, how could she not make plans for herself? In the previous life... Xia Ruya was valued by her grandfather because she was familiar with the Wen Group and the Wen family. She knew how to make the Wen family and the group benefit and make her grandfather like her.
In the past, Xia Ruya was not worried about being the illegitimate daughter of the Xia family, because the Xia family and the Wen family were not on the same level. Even if Xia Ruya had the best cards in her hand, she could not shake the Wen family. Later, the Wen family and Xia Ruya settled their grievances, so she had nothing to fear. Xia Ruya could indeed use some of the chips in her hand to attack the Wen family, but once she really did so and took revenge on the Wen family, she would be the first one to be lost. Xia Ruya would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit herself.
But, now it’s different!
Behind Xia Ruya stands the Li family, a wealthy family on par with the Wen family.
Moreover, the Li family’s main business is also clothing.
First, there is competition.
Second, there is friction.
Finally, there are grudges.
She had to be on guard against the Li family.
Si Yiyan said: "You think too highly of Xia Ruya."
Wen Xinya was a little puzzled. She and Xia Ruya had fought countless times, and she knew Xia Ruya better than anyone else. "I think I have always underestimated Xia Ruya."
Si Yiyan's beautiful eyebrows were lightly gathered, and the peaks of his eyebrows looked even longer: "Your mentality is wrong. Never underestimate your enemies. This is a good quality, but you must also adapt to local conditions."
Wen Xinya blinked at Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan continued: "You are now involved in the operation and management of Wen's Group. Do you think you can control Wen's Group?"
Wen Xinya shook her head: "Although I have the support of my grandfather, I want to control the Wen Group. Not only does it take a long time, but it also requires an opportunity. It's easier said than done."
Wen Xinya's eyes lit up and she immediately understood what Si Yiyan meant.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "The situation inside the Li Group is even more complicated than that of the Wen Group. In addition, over the years, the old lady and master Li have aged and are not as energetic as before. Although they still hold the dominant position of the group, they have already lost power. The return of Xia Ruya, the heir, will first hinder the interests of those in power. It will not be easy for her to smoothly control the Li Group."
Wen Xinya laughed: "As long as she can't control the Li Group, she will be hindered in her attempts to manipulate the Li Group to deal with the Wen family. Besides... based on my understanding of Xia Ruya, she won't be stupid enough to think about how to go against me all day long, but how to control the Li Group in her own hands. So next, she will have no time to split herself."
Si Yiyan said: "That's right!"
