Chapter 1435 - Ning Shuqian Lied to Him?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Haowen only found out about the news of Old Mr. Mo’s condition after it began to spread. For some reason, he felt bizarrely excited.

This old fogy is finally going to die!

That thought ran through his mind continuously.

Wen Haowen absolutely hated his only daughter, Wen Xinya, as well as his former father-in-law, Old Mr. Mo. He hated those who were related to Mo Yunyao!

Reason being, he would often think about the truth behind Mo Yunyao’s death whenever he saw Wen Xinya. The terrifying look on Mo Yunyao’s face before her death remained as a nightmare that he would never forget.

Whenever he faced Old Mr. Mo, the latter would glare daggers at him, making him feel uneasy and overwhelmed with fear.

Those soulless eyes seemed to be reminding him all the time that he was the one who harmed Mo Yunyao. He felt that Old Mr. Mo was definitely not going to let him off easily.

Whenever he saw Old Mr. Mo, he would feel shifty and jittery like a rat that saw a cat.

Hence, when the news of Old Mr. Mo being free from danger was released, he was filled with disappointment and he thought to himself, That damned old fogy!

Just as he was deep in thought, Wen Haowen felt a sudden sharp pain in his shoulders which seemed to have detonated the bomb within him. “Ouch, why do you have to use so much strength? Are you too energized because I haven’t gotten intimate with you for days?”

Wen Haowen flew into a rage and was no longer interested in pleasing Ning Shuqian like he used to. Old Mr. Mo being out of danger was not the only reason for his frustration.

“I’m sorry, Haowen… I couldn’t control myself. That’s why I accidentally hurt you. Simmer down.” Ning Shuqian retracted her hand and immediately apologized after noticing that he had flown into a rage. She tried to appease his anger.

When she was massaging Wen Haowen, she just suddenly thought about Old Mr. Mo’s life being out of danger and hence, forgot to control her strength. Thus, she hurt him with her fingernails. Yet, he threw a tantrum and flared up at her.

Wen Haowen is a just a shameless and despicable man. Since when does he have the right to flare up at me!?!

He’s just a stupid man whom I’m manipulating. How dare he throw a tantrum at me!

But so what if she was feeling exasperated? It was not the right time to get angry with Wen Haowen yet. She had to please Wen Haowen carefully so that she could continue to manipulate him.

“You didn’t realize? I think you’re just horny and man-crazy!” Wen Haowen barked, glowering at Ning Shuqian with a sullen expression while thinking about something.

Ning Shuqian shivered uncontrollably and forced herself to put on a sultry smile. “Haowen… how could you say that about me? I’m behaving like this all because of you…”

Her voice was sweet and sultry.

The troubled Wen Haowen could not help but feel frustrated after hearing her voice. He questioned angrily, “Let me ask you, the entertainment city project…”

He finally questioned her angrily because he couldn’t take it anymore.

Ning Shuqian knew that he was not in a good mood. Before he could even finish, she frantically said, “You don’t have to worry, the entertainment city project will go on smoothly.”

The entertainment city had yet to be activated and the man informed her that it would begin operations in other ten-odd days. By then, they would speed up the operations and strive to complete it before June next year.

Wen Haowen’s face turned gloomy and he decided not to question her any longer. “Has it been very successful?”

A few days ago, he was told that the entertainment city project had come to a temporary halt not long after the jewelry exhibition. He was initially apprehensive of the news because he was its leader and no one knew better than him what the progress was.

However, he still sent some people to check on the progress of the entertainment city in secret.

In the end, he found out the truth was just like the news that he had received. The entertainment city project had already been temporarily terminated.

Yet, Ning Shuqian, who was in charge of the entertainment city project, actually hid it from him.

The news was absolutely flabbergasting!

He was the one who started the entertainment city project and yet, he had no idea that the entertainment city project had already been halted for such a long time.

Ning Shuqian was in greater control of the entertainment city project than him!

Wen Haowen was absolutely frustrated because of that.

However, Ning Shuqian only took it as him being in a bad mood. Hence, she did not think much of it and simply thought that he only wanted to find out more about the progress of the entertainment city project. “That’s for sure. Oh! By the way, the heirloom sales strategy has also reached a crucial juncture and we should be placing our focus on it for now. If we can find a way to make Wen Xinya make a mistake during this sales project, she’ll definitely suffer a huge blow and have her position in the Wen Corporation affected. We can’t let Wen Xinya continue the project successfully.”

Although the heirloom sales strategy would be completed smoothly, they could not let Wen Xinya be the one to do it.

The entertainment city project had already come to a temporary halt, but she had to keep it from Wen Haowen. Hence, she had to distract him using the heirloom sales strategy.

She understood Wen Haowen too well. The last thing he wanted was for Wen Xinya to make it big in the Wen Corporation and become fully-fledged, for she would then be a threat to him. Hence, she was sure that Wen Haowen would fall into her trap.

However, Ning Shuqian did not expect Wen Xinya to have stabbed her in the back by letting Wen Haowen find out about the stopping of the entertainment city project.

Wen Haowen had already started becoming suspicious towards her.

Her words had proven Wen Haowen’s suspicion.

Wen Haowen stared at Ning Shuqian peculiarly with a sullen expression before saying, “You’re right. The most important thing to do now is to plan for the heirloom sales strategy.”

He stealthily clenched his fists tightly in a bid to remind himself to stay calm.

Ning Shuqian felt that there was something off about his gaze. Feeling uneasy, she said, “Haowen, why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”

She did not suspect anything.

Having shared the same bed with Wen Haowen for decades, she knew that he had an erratic temper.

After all, the entertainment city project had yet to be completed and Wen Haowen still needed her help. In fact, he wished he could worship her.
