Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1913 - Xia Ruya, Your Retribution Is Coming

Chapter 1913 - Xia Ruya, Your Retribution Is Coming

Xia Ruya was the culprit behind the Li Family's current wretched state.

If Old Mr. Li was still young, he could have relied on the Li Family's strong foundation and a.s.sets acc.u.mulated over hundreds of years, as well as some hidden resources that no one knew about—perhaps the Li Corporation could be saved then.

But Old Mr. Li was already over 90 years old and had one foot in the grave. He no longer had the bravado and aspirations from when he was younger. The Li Family was essentially at the end of its road. Xia Ruya's actions after returning to the Li Family had utterly disappointed Old Mr. Li.

Wen Xinya had no interest in interfering with the Li Family's domestic matters. She just said blandly, "Now, on behalf of the Wen Family, who owns 51% of the Li Corporation's shares, I announce the stripping of Xia Ruya from the post of CEO of the Li Corporation, the stripping of all her authority within the board of directors, and her dismissal from the company. I wonder, does anyone here have any objections?"

Naturally, no one on the Wen Corporation side had any objections.

No one from the Li Corporation raised any opinions either.

The Li Corporation had already completely changed its allegiance to the surname Wen. No one here dared to go against Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya looked at Special a.s.sistant Zhu. "In three days' time, the Wen Corporation will officially take over the Li Corporation. I hope that the Li Family will quickly settle its own domestic affairs. I don't wish for anyone or anything to interfere with the takeover process."

She had made those remarks because she was worried about Xia Ruya sowing discord.

After battling Xia Ruya for over a decade, she already learned that no matter what, one should never underestimate Xia Ruya.

Special a.s.sistant Zhu nodded. "Miss Wen, please don't worry. The Li Family will settle everything properly."

Having gotten a guarantee, Wen Xinya didn't say anything more and prepared to leave with Xue Yishan and gang in tow.

"B*tch, what right do you have to issue commands in front of me? You have no standing here at the Li Corporation." Waves of painful despondency washed over Xia Ruya, causing her to experience a complete emotional breakdown.

She couldn't accept the reality of the Li Family abandoning her.

She also couldn't accept the reality of the Li Corporation belonging to the Wen Family now.

Even more so, she couldn't accept that her most-hated Wen Xinya was issuing commands in front of her in that authoritative manner.

Wen Xinya paused and smirked. "This statement is actually more befitting of Miss Xia."

Now that matters had come to this, Xia Ruya still refused to face up to reality. She was still unwilling to accept it all and had chosen to stubbornly ignore the facts.

A strange, twisted expression appeared on Xia Ruya's face. She suddenly charged toward Wen Xinya, who completely didn't expect Xia Ruya to go to such extremes. As a result, she was caught unawares and was viciously shoved backward. The ma.s.sive impact threw Wen Xinya backward and she started to fall.

And a gla.s.s-top meeting table was right behind her.

The sudden change in the situation had everyone stunned.

"Miss Wen…"

Xue Yishan was standing closest to Wen Xinya. He reflexively pushed Xia Ruya away and grabbed hold of Wen Xinya's hand. She was pulled forward and fell hard into his arms, narrowly avoiding disaster.

But Xia Ruya was not so lucky.

"Cras.h.!.+" Xia Ruya had been pushed by Xue Yishan onto the s.h.i.+ny marble floor and had hit the ground forcefully. She curled up on the floor and struggled for a moment, completely unable to get up.

But no one cared whether Xia Ruya had been injured by her fall.

Everyone was more worried about whether Wen Xinya was fine.

It was because of their oversight that Xia Ruya got the chance to attack Wen Xinya. Luckily Xue Yishan's reflexes were quick enough. Otherwise, the consequences of Wen Xinya smas.h.i.+ng onto the meeting table was unthinkable.

They all witnessed just how malevolent Xia Ruya could be from that one shove.

Xue Yishan asked anxiously, "Miss Wen, are you alright!"

Wen Xinya replied rather weakly, "I'm fine. Help me over to a chair!"

After that close shave, Wen Xinya was obviously shaken to the core. She felt dizzy and her chest constricted, making it hard to breathe. Her stomach also started to churn unbearably, and a wave of nausea overcame her. She felt like vomiting but suppressed the urge as there were so many others present in the meeting room. The huge effort to suppress her nausea drained her face of all color. She had become totally pale.

Xue Yishan hurriedly supported Wen Xinya over to a chair.

He instructed his a.s.sistant to get a gla.s.s of water.

"Wen Xinya, why can't you just die!" Xia Ruya bit back the intense pain wracking her body as she struggled to stand up. Her heart was filled with jealousy and hatred as she saw the bunch of people surrounding Wen Xinya and showering her with care and concern. Her madness started to creep over her entire person.

Why? She was the one who had fallen, but those people were only concerned for Wen Xinya?

"I'm truly regretful for not killing you when I first learned of your existence. Then you wouldn't be brought back to the Wen Family and I wouldn't have been abandoned and ended up in this state. You… you are the one who brought this upon me…"

She had known of Wen Xinya's existence even before Old Mr. Wen decided to bring Wen Xinya home.

At that time, she had experienced fear, unease, agony, and despair. The notion of killing Wen Xinya had popped into her mind then, but she had been too young and the notion was just a fleeting one.

At this point, Wen Xinya was feeling very ill. She had difficulty breathing and waves of nausea kept plaguing her. She stood up and walked slowly toward Xia Ruya.

"Ha… you are truly as pitiful as they come." She gently rearranged Xia Ruya's rumpled clothes, behaving as if she was Xia Ruya's bosom friend, instead of her mortal enemy. "Aren't you always extremely careful about your image? Aren't you always sure to present your most perfect side to everyone, no matter when and where? To put on a pure, kind-hearted, elegant, and refined act? Why, are you unable to continue your act any more?"

Her voice was very soft, such that only the two of them could hear.

Her tone was full of scorn and ridicule.

"Wen Xinya, what are you doing?"

Xia Ruya's voice was strident and hoa.r.s.e. Her expression was dark and unstable, and her body instinctively s.h.i.+fted backward. For some reason, Wen Xinya's approach gave her an oppressive sense of despondency, as if she was facing an impending flood of water.

"Do you want me to die? Ha…" Wen Xinya's expression changed and she stared calmly at her. "Perhaps in our next lives." She moved to whisper in a low voice by Xia Ruya's ear. "In this life, you are destined to die before me."

The Li Corporation was just the beginning.

Next up, when Plan S was officially launched, everyone linked to the Korean-Chinese Alliance would be doomed. And Xia Ruya would pay the price for everything she had done.

Xia Ruya's pupils narrowed as every single cell in her body screamed at her to run away from Wen Xinya. She shuddered and gasped controllably.

Wen Xinya smirked. Emphasizing each word clearly, she said, "Xia Ruya, your retribution is coming!"
