Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 394 - You Must Give Up the Rights to Succeeding the Wen Corporation

Chapter 394: You Must Give Up the Rights to Succeeding the Wen Corporation
Old Mr. and Mrs. Wen were away at the head physician’s office while Wen Haowen inquired about Old Mr. Wen’s condition from the nurse. Upon sight of Wen Xinya, Wen Haowen was immediately reminded of the day that Lawyer Luo came by to visit Old Mr. Wen. He could still remember the look on Secretary Cao’s face when he asked about Old Mr. Wen’s condition.
Did that old man alter his will or not?
Sensing the icy cold gaze in Wen Haowen’s eyes, Wen Xinya asked smilingly, “Father, are you here to pick Grandpa up?”
Wen Haowen humphed and stared at Wen Xinya in disdain. “Were you the one who took matters into your own hands and got your grandfather discharged? Although the doctor says that there are no major problems with your grandfather’s health, it’s better to let him continue being hospitalized for a few days. You don’t care about your grandfather’s health at all. What’s your hidden agenda?”
If that old man really changes his will, there’d be nothing left for me to inherit. Once the old man dies… wouldn’t everything belong to this little bitch Wen Xinya?
Wen Xinya could see Wen Haowen’s emotions from his eyes. He was simply gauging her integrity by his own measures. “Father, don’t worry. Grandpa is recovering very well and the doctor gave him a thorough physical examination and he passed through all the tests. The doctor said that he just has to avoid getting too agitated and he’d be fine.”
She specifically emphasized on “agitated” because she wanted to remind Wen Haowen that it was his fault for causing Old Mr. Wen to be hospitalized. Since she had already gained the trust of her grandfather, she no longer had to be wary around Wen Haowen.
Wen Haowen understood what she was hinting at. A gloomy and sullen expression formed on his face and he glowered at her. “You brat, if it weren’t because of you, your grandfather and I wouldn’t have had a conflict. Good job… you’ve pushed all the blame to me and sowed discord between me and your grandfather. It’s all your fault that he’s still upset with me even till now.”
Wen Xinya answered innocently, “Father, what do you mean? Since when did I blame you for the fact that Grandpa fainted? Grandpa being upset with you has nothing to do with me, and I’ve never badmouthed you to Grandpa.”
Wen Haowen felt that he would be put in a disadvantageous position if he continued to argue about Old Mr. Wen passing out. After all, Old Mr. Wen had indeed fainted during their conflict. Glaring at her coldly, Wen Haowen rebuked. “Wen Xinya, drop the act. Do you think I don’t know what intentions you’re harboring? Ever since you reunited with the Wen Family, your main agenda was to get into your Grandpa’s good books and sow discord between him and me. You’re doing that all because you want to become the rightful heiress of the Wen Family. Only then will all the assets become yours.”
Wen Xinya’s pupils constricted and she glared daggers at Wen Haowen. “Father, don’t assume that I’m just as greedy as you.”
For some reason, Wen Haowen suddenly felt a little guilty after hearing Wen Xinya’s words. He broke out into cold sweat and began breathing rapidly.
Wen Xinya stared at Wen Haowen calmly with an aloof expression. “No matter how much you detest me, I hope you’ll curb your anger when Grandpa returns later. Although we can’t pretend to be filial, we should at least let Grandpa have a peace of mind. Otherwise, we won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens to Grandpa again.”
Wen Haowen was extremely peeved to be given a lecture by her again. Glaring at her menacingly, he questioned, “Wen Xinya, are you threatening me?”
Wen Xinya took a step back and answered, “I wouldn’t dare!”
He stared at Wen Xinya, who resembled Mo Yunyao greatly, feeling as if she was smirking smugly and staring at him condescendingly. He wished he could dash forward and give her a tight slap across the face.
Wen Xinya hurriedly helped the nurse pack her grandfather’s belongings.
Wen Haowen walked towards her and tugged the bag in her hands to make it fall onto the ground. “Wen Xinya, did I agree to let your grandfather be discharged? You’re just an underage teenager. What rights do you have to take charge of this? Can you bear the consequences if something goes wrong with your grandfather’s health?”
Wen Xinya looked up at Wen Haowen slowly and kept her eyes fixed on him. “Grandpa was the one who wanted to be discharged. The doctor also said that there’s nothing wrong with his health and that he’s ready to be discharged. Father, if you’re really concerned about Grandpa’s health, don’t bother asking the nurse. You should go straight to the doctor. I’m sure the doctor is much more professional than the nurses.”
Wen Haowen’s temples began throbbing continuously.
Wen Xinya picked up the things on the ground and ignored Wen Haowen.
Wen Haowen said coldly, “I’ll definitely ask the doctor about it. I’ve already warned you. If you insist on being stubborn and letting your grandfather be discharged… you’d have to give up your title as the heiress of the Wen Family and sever all ties with us should something happen to your grandfather.”
Wen Xinya glared at Wen Haowen abruptly. When Wen Haowen sent Old Mr. Wen to the hospital after the conflict, she still felt that he had a conscience. However, after hearing his words, she realized that he was hopeless and blinded by greed.
Wen Haowen sneered. “What’s the problem? Are you too afraid?”
Just as Wen Xinya was about to speak, the door opened and in came Old Mrs. Wen who was holding Old Mr. Wen. With an austere expression on his face, Old Mr. Wen interjected. “I was the one who wanted to be discharged. It has nothing to do with Xinya.”
Pangs of panic engulfed Wen Haowen, for he did not expect that Old Mr. Wen would overhear their conversation. “Father, I… ” he murmured.
Old Mr. Wen ignored Wen Haowen and instead smiled at Wen Xinya benevolently. “Xinya, are you done with packing up? Let’s go home,” he said.
Wen Xinya grinned and said, “Grandpa, I’ve already packed up. And Grandpa Tao is waiting for you outside the hospital. Wait in the car together with Grandma first. I’ll get the nurse to help me with carrying the items.”
Wen Haowen tensed up immediately and felt that it was necessary to explain it to Old Mr. Wen, lest Wen Xinya rat on him again. “Father, that wasn’t what I meant… ”
Old Mr. Wen turned around to leave the ward with his walking stick.
“Father…” Wen Haowen hurriedly chased after him.
