At this time, Mr. Wen looked at Xia Ruya and said, "Ruya, you are thoughtful about this matter, but the Wen family does not need help from outsiders for the time being. Say thank you to your grandfather and father for me."
He knew exactly what the Xia family was planning. The Wen family had never been controlled by anyone before, so it was impossible for the Xia family to take advantage of the situation.
Xia Ruya's eyes widened in disbelief. "Grandpa Wen, my grandfather and father really want to help the Wen family through this difficult time. My grandfather often said that the Wen family has been very supportive of the Xia family. It is a blessing for the Xia family to be able to help the Wen family at this time."
She had calculated this matter carefully. Given the Wen family's nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm, how could they possibly refuse
This is simply impossible.
Wen Haowen was so angry that his face turned blue, and veins popped out on his forehead: "Dad, the Xia family can easily help our Wen family solve this problem, why don't you agree? Are you happy to see our Wen family being forced into a desperate situation by the Xiao family?"
Mr. Wen said calmly, "You are exaggerating. I founded the Wen Group. It is the result of my life's hard work. I value the Wen Group more than anyone else. The reason I disagree is that the Wen family has not yet reached the point where they need help from outsiders. Every time the Wen family encounters difficulties, they always think of seeking help from outsiders. Before, it was the Jiang family, and now it is the Xia family. How will people in the circle view the Wen family?"
Wen Haowen could not help but get furious: "Dad, you are clearly making up stories. Mutual help among people in the business world is common. Our Wen family and the Xia family have a close relationship, which is obvious to everyone in the circle. What's wrong with using the Xia family?"
Mr. Wen's expression was somewhat grim. Because of Xia Ruya's presence, he couldn't say some things directly.
Wen Xinya said, "Dad, what is the status of the Wen family, and what is the status of the Xia family? Can the Xia family be compared with the Wen family? Before, our Wen family cooperated with the Jiang family and used the Jiang family to suppress the Xiao family. This is a strong alliance, but if our Wen family uses the Xia family, how do you think outsiders will view the Wen family?"
After hearing what Wen Xinya said, Mr. Wen showed a satisfied look on his face. This child was indeed smart and considerate. She knew that as an elder, there were some things that he could not say directly, so she smoothed over his words.
Xia Ruya felt ashamed. Wen Wenya's words were a slap in her face, especially since Grandpa Wen did not refute her and clearly agreed with her. She suddenly felt that since Wen Wenya returned to the Wen family, she could no longer interfere in anything in the Wen family. It turned out that the Wen family members, whom she thought she knew well, were not people she could control.
Wen Haowen's face twisted. He always cared about his reputation, and Wen Xinya's words hit his sore spot. However, he was still unwilling to be taught a lesson by someone he hated so much: "What do you know as a child? Go away. The adults are talking, get out of the way."
Ning Shuqian also glared at Wen Xinya in dissatisfaction and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Ruya is the adopted daughter of the Wen family after all. We have raised our daughter for the Xia family for twelve years, and our Wen family has helped the Xia family a lot before. Now that the Xia family is helping the Wen family, outsiders just think that the Xia family is repaying the Wen family. How could they have other ideas!"
Xia Ruya lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Aunt Ning's meaning is what my grandfather and father meant."
Wen Xinya said calmly, "I'm afraid that others will think that our Wen family is repaying a favor! After all, the Xia family and Ai Shang have cooperated for many years, and the relationship between the Xia family and the Wen family is there. Now that the Xiao family has acquired Ai Shang, the Xia family refuses to cooperate with Ai Shang on the pretext that Ai Shang's products do not meet the standards. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the meaning behind this. Such a conspiracy and vulgar means will also affect the reputation of the Wen family."
Mr. Wen nodded and said, "Xinya makes sense!"
Wen Xinya got the support of Mr. Wen, and she became even more arrogant. She suddenly looked at Xia Ruya who had been silent all this time: "Besides, the Xia family helped the Wen family just to repay the Wen family for their support and for raising you? Don't they have other requirements? For example, the Xia family transformed into a large high-end shopping mall..."
Instead of playing dumb, it would be better to tear off Xia Ruya's hypocritical mask to save her from calculating this and that all day long and causing trouble.
Under Wen Xinya's penetrating gaze that seemed to know everything about the world, Xia Ruya suddenly felt ashamed. Her gaze was so fierce and aggressive that she was almost unable to resist: "I don't know much about business matters. Grandpa and Dad don't usually talk to me about it."
Xia Ruya's fingers suddenly clenched into fists. Her plan was to kill three birds with one stone, but now her plan to deal with Wen Xinya has failed.
Now it seems that the plan of asking Wen family's brands to enter Xia family's new shopping mall by helping the Wen family is going to fail. It will be difficult to explain to grandpa and father when I return to Xia family.
She ran to the Wen family and wanted to help them, but the Wen family not only did not appreciate it, but also said such embarrassing words to her, which was like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror.
That means you don't know! Wen Xinya sneered. If you don't know what's going on in the business world, how could you come up with such a sophisticated plan
Wen Haowen tugged at the tie around his neck and glared at Wen Wenya with red eyes: "You make a lot of sense, so how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Wen Xinya sneered, "The Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang has not really affected the Wen family yet. At this time, our Wen family cannot lose our composure and show the demeanor of the four great families. The key is to be stable."
Wen Haowen looked at Wen Xinya with a sinister look and said, "You speak better than you sing. Do you know how to do business? Do you know how much impact it will have on the Wen family if the Xiao family successfully acquires Ai Shang?"
Wen Xinya smiled but said nothing. Anyway, her grandfather had no intention of accepting the Xia family's help, and Wen Haowen could not cause any trouble, so there was no need for her to say anything more to Wen Haowen.
Her attitude made Wen Haowen so angry that his face turned pale. He suddenly stood up from the sofa and said, "Dad, say something!"
Old Master Wen drank his tea in silence, but he was very interested in his granddaughter's confident attitude. It seemed that she had other ideas in her mind, so he would have to ask her later.
Being ignored, Wen Haowen's cheeks flushed with anger. He first looked at Old Man Wen, then at Wen Wenya, and laughed in anger: "You two are all like this. Didn't you speak so clearly just now? How come you are so clueless when it comes to making decisions?"
Old Master Wen glanced at Wen Haowen calmly and said, "You don't take things seriously. You always make a fuss when something happens. You should change your temper that is known to everyone."
Wen Haowen's anger suddenly exploded in his chest: "Dad, good! You guys are awesome!"
At this time, Mrs. Wen came back from playing cards. Seeing the lively atmosphere in the living room, she couldn't help but said happily, "Haowen, why are you back? Ruya, you are here too!"
