Chapter 1438: Do Ning Shuqian Have Ill Intentions?

Just like Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan had guessed, Wen Haowen had already begun suspecting Ning Shuqian.
Ever since he found out about the termination of the entertainment city project, he had been filled with a complicated mix of emotions. On the day that he found out about Old Mr. Mo’s life being out of danger, he grew increasingly frustrated and decided to question Ning Shuqian. Before he could even question her, Ning Shuqian told him that the entertainment city project was going on smoothly.
He would be a fool if he did not realize that Ning Shuqian had been lying to him all along. He was played and manipulated by a woman.
Ning Shuqian then changed the subject and began talking about the heirloom sales strategy. If given the past, he wouldn’t have realized that there was something wrong with her. After all, his greatest concern was Wen Xinya rising to a position because of the heirloom sales strategy and becoming a threat to him.
However, he discovered that Ning Shuqian was lying to him.
Hence, he could not think more about it.
In the past, Ning Shuqian used to distract him with the heirloom sales strategy whenever he asked about the entertainment city project. He more or less understood Ning Shuqian’s intentions.
Ning Shuqian was intentionally hiding it from him, for she did not plan to let him know about the termination of the entertainment city project.
Her agenda for distracting him using the heirloom sales strategy was to hide the termination of the entertainment city project from him.
Regardless of how silly Wen Haowen may be, he still knew that there was something fishy about Ning Shuqian’s behavior.
After giving it some thought, he finally convinced himself to stay patient and find out about what exactly happened.
“CEO Wen, how did you have the time to look for me today? Don’t you have to accompany that old hag at home?” asked a sweet, tender and coquettish voice.
It was none other than Yang Ziyu who had committed adultery with Wen Haowen back then.
Back then, the Xiao Family arranged for her to go overseas. When she was abroad, she often thought about the time when she went to the Wen Corporation to cause a stir with a fruit knife. He was at a complete loss for what to do but was not exactly heartless towards her.
Yang Ziyu was bent on winning Wen Haowen’s heart, which was also the reason for her obsession with him. She had been paying close attention to Wen Haowen and secretly returned to the nation after finding out that he was interested in her.
After finding Wen Haowen, she pestered him and successfully became his woman because he was in love with her young and beautiful body.
“Like you said, she’s an old hag. She’s not as pretty and young as you. Of course I’d look for you!” Wen Haowen exclaimed, after which he immediately began flirting with Yang Ziyu brazenly.
Back then, his reputation had indeed been greatly damaged because of his adulterous affair with Yang Ziyu. He did resent her too. However, he could not resist her after she returned abroad and began pestering him while being smitten with him.
Unlike the old and aged Ning Shuqian, her young body gave him a different kind of pleasure. He then made Yang Ziyu his mistress and arranged everything secretly. Hence, no one knew about it.
Wen Haowen was indeed a strange creature who liked getting back together with his old flames!
“Hey, CEO Wen… since you’ve admitted that I’m younger and prettier than that old hag, why don’t you spend more time with me? I haven’t seen you in a long time,” Yang Ziyu said while sitting on Wen Haowen’s lap and snuggling into his embrace.
Wen Haowen’s throat began to get a little itchy and he asked, “Little vixen, are you craving for a man?”
He could not help but feel aroused and enticed by her behavior, especially since she was young and beautiful. He would only find the old Ning Shuqian to be pretentious if she were to do that.
Yang Ziyu pushed Wen Haowen and exclaimed, “I do miss you, CEO Wen!”
The two of them then continued to fool around and get intimate.
Wen Haowen broke out into a sweat and laid on the bed, panting heavily and feeling feeble.
Yang Ziyu laid on Wen Haowen’s chest and said, “CEO Wen… you don’t seem to be in the mood today. Are you bothered by something?”
Yang Ziyu had a crazy obsession with Wen Haowen and she could understand him better compared to Ning Shuqian, who was good at manipulating him. She was just like a coquettish and understanding flower, which was also the reason Wen Haowen decided to make her his woman.
Wen Haowen told Yang Ziyu about everything that had happened. He said with a sullen expression, “I’ve been checking and investigating on the entertainment city project. However, the more I investigate, the more terrifying it gets. I found that Ning Shuqian is in greater control of the entertainment city project than I am. She’s been keeping me in the dark too.”
Wen Haowen was well aware that Yang Ziyu was extremely devoted to him and almost killed herself back then. Hence, she definitely wouldn’t spill the beans. He would often tell her about work-related matters too.
Fortunately, Yang Ziyu was not exactly ignorant about everything that went on in the workforce and hence, the two of them had been getting along well.
Yang Ziyu obviously wouldn’t let the opportunity to defame Ning Shuqian slip by. She said, “Ning Shuqian thinks she can climb all over you just because she’s closet to Madam Zhang of the Zhang Corporation. She’s obviously harboring ill intentions and making plans for herself. CEO Wen, think about it, what’s the end goal of the entertainment city project?”
“It’s gaining control of the Wen Corporation and encroaching on it,” Wen Haowen said as ripples of horror formed in his heart. If that was really the case, Ning Shuqian was probably thinking of taking charge of the entertainment city project.
Wen Haowen suddenly broke out into cold sweat.
His face grew sullen at the thought of the support that the Zhang Corporation had given Ning Shuqian.
Yang Ziyu knew that Wen Haowen had already digested everything she said. She said smugly, “CEO Wen, I knew Ning Shuqian was up to no good. When her false pregnancy was exposed, you were bent on divorcing her. In the end… you and I got embroiled in that scandal which gave her an advantage. She was definitely the one who stirred that up. I suspect that there’s something fishy about her mental illness.”
Back then, Yang Ziyu was certain that Ning Shuqian was the one who had caused the scandal to arise. Hence, she absolutely hated Ning Shuqian.
Wen Haowen had a sullen expression. Ning Shuqian’s acting chops were so superb that he stopped suspecting her because of the entertainment city project.
However, he began doubting her again.
He started to think about everything that happened back then.
The seeds of suspicion would sprout terrifyingly once they were planted. He would forever suspect about everything she did.
