Chapter 1750: Chu Jingnan’s Wild Ambitions

Grandpa considered that Jinyu’s status as an illegitimate child would not be good for the family’s reputation should they host a big event.

However, Wen Xinya could not bear for Jinyu was to grow up bearing the status of an illegitimate child. Otherwise, he would not be able to lift his head up high in the upper-class society. To a child, this was far more than cruelty.

Since they already brought Jinyu back, they must be responsible for him, and not weigh the pros and cons of every action they took.

At this moment, she then thought back to the past. If the family was willing to sacrifice just a bit more for her when they fetched her back, she would not have had such desperate ends.

“Grandpa, I know you care about me and that you are considering my feelings. However, since the Wen Family has already brought Jinyu back, we must let him be a part of the family properly. We did not host a month-old baby shower for him, and this already caused the people around us to talk. How can we not host anything when he becomes a year old? How will outsiders see Jinyu then? When Jinyu grows up and people look at him differently, how is he going to deal with it?”

Old Mr. Wen said, “Jinyu is an illegitimate child, after all. The Wen Family...”

Wen Xinya agitatedly cut him off. “Grandpa, you must be getting senile. So what if he is an illegitimate child? You can’t deny that the blood of the Wen Family runs in him. And how can we allow others to look down on him? So long as the Wen Family recognizes him and is proud of him, the outsiders won’t have anything much to say. Grandpa, Jinyu is innocent. He should not bear the name of an illegitimate child for his whole life.”

Towards the end, her voice changed to a sincere tone unknowingly.

With a complicated expression, Old Mr. Wen looked at his granddaughter and sighed after some time. “You’re right. Jinyu is part of the Wen Family, after all. We cannot allow outsiders to look down on him. We shall host his baby shower! I already have one foot in the grave, I should not care about reputation anymore.”

His granddaughter always looked at such problems with more clarity and thoroughness.

Such moralities caused Old Mr. Wen to laugh. She was indeed a child taught by the Mo Family.

In such a short period of time, they almost ruined the lives of two people.

First was Xinya, and today was Jinyu!

At the start, Xinya could see the issue clearly, and thus, was sent to the Mo Family and received protection from Old Mr. Mo and was not ruined by the Wen Family.

Today, Jinyu was considered a lucky boy, as the moment he was born, he had a sister to fight for his rights.

He should indeed spend some time reflecting.

Wen Xinya smiled. “You’re wise, grandpa.”

Old Mr. Wen suppressed his complicated emotions. “Jinyu is really lucky to have a sister like you. No wonder he likes you best in the entire Wen Family. When you’re at home, Jinyu is always clinging onto you.”

In theory, the one who should mind Jinyu the most should be Xinya, but Xinya doted on Jinyu more than anyone else. Even though Xinya was not at home often, Jinyu liked to cling onto her.

Consider this the bond between sister and brother.

The Xiao Family!

Although Old Mr. Xiao was close to eighty years old, he took care of himself well and was still energetic and healthy. Xiao Zhiyuan was relaxing and was currently playing chess with him.

After one round of chess, Xiao Zhiyuan was totally destroyed, and he inevitably sighed. “Dad, your chess skills have improved yet again. Your son really can’t match up to you!”

In Chinese chess, he had never won.

Old Mr. Xiao just said, “It’s not that my chess skills improved, it’s that your skills have become worse. You’re even worse than that child Cheng Yu now.”

Xiao Corporation was not doing too well recently due to Xiao Zhiyuan’s scandal back then, and they were unable to answer to the shareholders. Such a situation only improved after Chengyu took over as the chairman.

He had put in most of his effort into Xiao Corporation these past many years, of course his chess skills worsened. So, he did not say anything about it.

Xiao Zhiyuan revealed a face of guilt and shame.

Old Mr. Xiao chose not to continue with this topic. “Since Chengyu took the initiative to make friends with Lanxin Corporation’s Bella, we should just let him do what he wants. Us old men should not interfere anymore, as Bella is talented and an arrogant businesswoman who does not even put the Health Supplements Association in her eyes. She would barely be bothered about us old men. Luckily, Chengyu caught her attention and can interact with her, which is of course a good thing.”

After Lanxin Corporation was listed, it developed and expanded rapidly. Soon, it would probably overtake the traditional businesses and become the rising star of Country Z.

Lanxin Corporation even collaborated with Xiasi Group.

To be able to work with Lanxin Corporation would also be another chance for the Xiao Family.

Xiao Zhiyuan nodded his head. “I have that idea as well. Chengyu has his way with doing things, and he is stable. He’s no different from the other successors. I am not worried about him at all.”

That day, at Lanxin Corporation’s celebration, he could see that although Bella was polite to him, she treated Chengyu with admiration and respect, and he thus did not dare to approach her further.

Although he knew how Bella felt, he was the chairperson of the Xiao Corporation, after all. As a senior, he had his own form of pride and would not let it down to flatter Bella.

Old Mr. Xiao nodded. “Our Xiao Family has Chengyu now, we can look forward to a brighter future.”

In his words was a hidden sense of pride.

Xiao Zhiyuan felt the same way.

Old Mr. Xiao made a move and frowned. “I heard that after T-K Corporation’s acquisition plan failed, Chu Jingnan went back to Country M and handed in his resignation. What is he doing now?”

With Chengyu leading the way, Old Mr. Xiao did not care about Chu Jingnan, who was an illegitimate child. He even secretly hated him a little.

Therefore, ever since Chu Jingnan was sent overseas, the Xiao Family did not care about him at all.

Who knew that Chu Jingnan would return home and even represent T-K Corporation as a senior investor in charge of acquisition.

Chu Jingnan’s growth surprised him, and he felt that it was a pity to let him go, but he felt nothing else.

Talking about Chu Jingnan, Xiao Zhiyuan’s face darkened. “I’m not too sure. I heard that he was still staying overseas.”

Chu Jingnan, the illegitimate child, was a mistake that Xiao Zhiyuan would never recover from, and was also the reason for his divorce. In his heart, he did not entirely hate Chu Jingnan, but he did not like him at all.

When Chu Jingnan first entered the Xiao Family, he worked really hard to get his attention, and in the past, he felt that he was a motivated person, gaining his admiration. Now, it just seemed like he had his own motives and intentions in mind.

Chu Jingnan was someone who was deliberate and calculative and had high ambitions, which he did not really like.

Old Mr. Xiao then said, “Chu Jingnan is a really ambitious person, and today he has grown to such a standard. Xiao Family should take some care to protect ourselves against him.”

Although Chu Jingnan was not in the country now, to think about him kept him on a high level of alert.

Xiao Zhiyuan then nodded his head. “Don’t worry, I will be careful.”

Chu Jingnan had ambitions for the Xiao Family back then, and although that was many years ago and they no longer knew whether he still felt the same way, it would not hurt to be extra careful around him.
