Chapter 1372 - Wen Xinya's Controlled Destiny
Chapter 1372: Wen Xinya’s Controlled Destiny
That meant Gu Junling’s death in the previous lifetime had something to do with the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
To her knowledge, the Korean-Chinese Alliance may have deep roots in Capital city and had even infiltrated plenty of wealthy, prestigious and influential families, but they would definitely act conscientiously because they were in Capital city, where the core of the government was.
Hence, they needed an esteemed platform with a decent background that they could use as a facade, which would allow them to carry out their illegal activities secretly.
The platform was the Wen Corporation.
In her previous lifetime, Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya set her up and eventually pushed her to a dead end and a path of self-destruction which she could not save herself from. Yet, Wen Haowen’s true colors were not exposed and Old Mr. Wen didn’t get disappointed in him either. At last, Wen Haowen helmed the Wen Corporation and got manipulated by Ning Shuqian, thus causing the Wen Corporation to land under the control of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
With the Wen Corporation as a smokescreen, it was easier for the Korean-Chinese Alliance to go about their business brazenly.
In order to strengthen one’s power, wealth and authority were inevitable.
They would derive wealth from the Wen Family and authority from the Zhou Family.
Hence, they decided to strengthen their control over the Zhou Family.
She could guess that Zhou Tianyu probably refused to let the Korean-Chinese Alliance control her because of her relationship with Gu Junling. Hence, the Korean-Chinese Alliance decided to kill Gu Junling in the end.
After her rebirth, Wen Xinya managed to destroy Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya in a domineering manner and ruined the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s plans. Hence, Gu Junling managed to live.
Wen Xinya was filled with complicated emotions.
It turns out, everything had already been predestined. Despite not knowing Gu Junling in her previous lifetime, she was related to him.
“I can’t believe it. How did the Zhou Family…” Since Wen Xinya was close to Zhou Tianyu, she was familiar with the Zhou Family and hence, she dared not imagine the gracious and wise Grandpa Zhou and the mild-mannered Uncle Zhou willingly letting the Korean-Chinese Alliance manipulate them. She did not believe that they would let the Korean-Chinese Alliance use their power to commit illegal activities.
“Xinya, the Zhou Family is a victim too. The Korean-Chinese Alliance is highly secretive and they might have already set them up when you weren’t realizing. Next, they will end up like the Gu Family.”
He reckoned that Wen Xinya would feel better after thinking that way!
Due to the fact that Wen Xinya had a lonely childhood, she valued relationships and would treat others genuinely as long as someone treated her well.
At this moment, Wen Xinya asked, “The Gu Family? You mean Black Sunday?”
Back then, the Gu Family and Black Sunday used to be close. Yang Chongguang was manipulated by Ning Shuqian into stirring up a scandal involving her and Xu Zhenyu. In order to lure Ning Shuqian, Wen Xinya engaged the help of Gu Junling to set Yang Chongguang up in Black Sunday.
“Yes, Black Sunday. Six years ago, the Korean-Chinese Alliance had already begun extending their claws towards Black Sunday and tried to use it to get the Gu Family implicated so that they could infiltrate them. However, your intervention caused Black Sunday to be wiped out and the Gu Family managed to escape this with the help of Jiayuan Club.”
The Gu Family was rather lucky, too. Otherwise, they would have long been in hot soup.
Wen Xinya was dumbfounded.
Si Yiyan’s words were like an alarm to her. She suddenly got reminded of something that she had never thought of.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath as a cold and menacing gaze formed in her eyes. “I suspect that my mother’s death, me going missing, Ning Shuqian getting married to Wen Haowen, as well as the Wen Family adopting Xia Ruya, all have something to do with the alliance. Their purpose is to make use of Ning Shuqian, Xia Ruya and me to ruin the Wen Family so that they can reap the benefits.”
She found an explanation for plenty of her doubts.
Old Mr. Wen and Old Mrs. Wen were too busy to take Wen Haowen in hand because Wen Xinya had gone missing back then. As a result, Ning Shuqian got the chance to marry him and thus, causing the ties between the Mo Family and the Wen Family to be broken. No matter what happened to the Wen Family from then on, it would have nothing to do with the Mo Family.
Ning Shuqian had to marry into the Wen Family in order to be a pawn that they could use.
Xia Ruya was their next pawn. Wen Xinya had long suspected that there was something fishy about it. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Rose-shaped birthmarks were extremely rare in the first place. Hence, how could two people share the same birthmarks on the same position?
There was now an explanation for everything.
Although the Wen Family was managed by Wen Haowen, Old Mr. Wen was the one who held true authority.
The Korean-Chinese Alliance had to disrupt that balance in order to control the Wen Family.
Hence, Wen Xinya managed to reunite with the Wen Family.
At this juncture, the conflict in the Wen Family would be escalated and she would go toe to toe against Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian. Old Mr. Wen would be distracted and the Korean-Chinese Alliance would then get to invade.
Wen Xinya finally realized that she had been too pathetic in her previous lifetime. Her destiny had already been controlled by someone else right from the start.
Si Yiyan again noticed the look of despair and agony on her face. His heart clenched up and he gripped her hand tightly. “Don’t worry, Xinya. I won’t let those people who are brazenly trying to control your life off easily.”
Ever since he got to know Wen Xinya, he knew that she had a great thirst and desire for controlling her own destiny.
Where did those desires come from?
It doesn’t seem logical for a girl who had led a wandering life for fifteen years and just reunited with her wealthy family to have such a mindset.
There must be something more.
However, he did not manage to find any clues at all even after all these years.
Wen Xinya’s emotions were gradually placated. She asked morosely, “Yan, do you think the Zhou Family can break free from the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s control someday?”
She and Si Yiyan had already decided on a series of methods that they could use to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance and completely get rid of their power in Capital city. That way, the Zhou Family would be able to overcome the ordeal. However, she was stuck in a dilemma and had no idea what to do.
She did not wish to affect the Zhou Family because of her plan to deal with the Korean-Chinese Alliance. She also did not want to stain her friendship with Zhou Tianyu.
Si Yiyan naturally understood her intentions. He said softly, “I’m guessing that the Zhou Family already knows that they’re being controlled by the Korean-Chinese Alliance for about less than five years. The Korean-Chinese Alliance has already infiltrated the Zhou Family, but they haven’t been controlling them much. Ever since Old Mr. Zhou got into a car accident and became a cripple, he had to retire from the political scene and Zhou Tianyu’s father also grew weaker in political power.”
Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up and she asked, “You mean…”
Si Yiyan bent forward and kissed her lips before tucking her loose hairs behind her ear. “Xinya, I’ll try my best to accomplish whatever you want me to.”
