Chapter 13: The Secret of Five Years Ago

  These days after leaving the hospital, Wen Ning has been staying at Gu Beidis place to recuperate.

  "Thank you, Gu Erge, for taking care of me. With you sending me back today, they wont dare to do anything to me."

  Dr. Gu Bei knew that she couldnt persuade her, so he repeatedly instructed: "Take the medicine I gave you on time, take care of yourself, and call me if anything happens. Also, remember to come to the hospital next week for a check-up."

  Wen Ning nodded in agreement and bid farewell to the Xie family, finally feeling at ease as he left.

  As soon as Gu Bei left, Xie Beiping and his family immediately revealed their true faces.

  Xie Beiping furiously said: "What are you doing back here?"

  Wen Ning said: "Im back to take back what belongs to me."

  "Get out," Xie Beiping shouted, pointing at the gate. "Theres nothing of yours left here anyway."

  Wen Ning looked at Xie Beiping: "You have today, all thanks to entering the Wen family as a son-in-law twenty-five years ago, relying on the Wen family to get started. Im back, and just want what belongs to the Wen family back, isnt that fair?"

  Xie Beipings face turned pale, he had always hated it when others mentioned that he was a son-in-law.

  "Wen Ning, how can you talk to your father like that! No manners!"

  Xie Wenyue angrily scolded, Wen Ning slapped her with a palm, and Xie Wenyue was stunned by the slap.

  Wen Nings cold eyes swept towards her, "Do you have a place to speak here?"

  Xie Wanwan covered her face, wanting to fight back, but when she met Wen Nings icy gaze, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

  Her eyes were like this, indifferent and inhuman, like a cold-blooded animal lurking in the dark abyss.

  Liu Huiting pulled Xie Wanyan behind her, with a smiling face saying: "Little Ning, we are all one family, everyone knows youve been wronged these years, its good that youre back, whatever you want just tell us and well definitely satisfy you."

  Wen Ning: "I want my grandfathers clothing company and 50 million."

  Xie Beiping jumped up: "Five million?"

  "Give you one day to transfer the company under my name, and give me 50 million. Otherwise, I wont keep that secret from five years ago anymore."

  The three members of the Xie family all looked flustered, especially Xie Wenyue.

  ……

  That day, Wen Ning stayed at Xies house. Although the Xies were not welcoming to her, they also did not dare to drive her out rashly.

  That night, near midnight, the villa was quiet, the Xie family had gone to bed, and all the servants were off duty.

  The door of the room opened and Wen Ning quietly slipped into Xie Beipings study.

  To get rid of Shen Ci Hans control, Wen Ning must find evidence to prove that Xie Bei Ping getting the Beihai Bay project has nothing to do with himself.

  Wen Ning sneaked into the study, opened Xie Beipings computer, which was locked. Her fingers flew quickly over the keyboard, and in just a few seconds, she successfully unlocked it.

  Wen Ning opened each folder on the computer one by one and searched for a while but couldnt find any files related to Beihai Bay.

  Wen Ning shifted his gaze to a safe on one side after transferring from the computer.

  She knelt on the ground with her ear pressed against the safe door.

  Recalling the scene of Xie Beiping opening the safe that day in his mind, his fingers lightly rotated.

  The sound of insurance lock teeth interlocking was particularly clear in the quiet night.

  In less than five minutes, the safe was successfully opened, and Wen Ning couldnt help but smile.

  Two years later, she still hasnt returned all of her kung fu skills to her master.

  ……

  The next day.

  Wen Ning deliberately slept in late, ignoring Xie Yuanyuans resentful gaze, and went out to take a taxi to the clothing company.

  The taxi drove for a long time, all the way to the outskirts of the city, and stopped under a factory building. On top of the factory building hung a large sign that read: "Man Rou Clothing Co., Ltd."

  Man and Rou are taken from Grandma Wens and Moms names respectively.

  Wen Nings grandfather was an old tailor, with exquisite craftsmanship, relying on his own efforts to gradually develop from a small tailor shop into a company.

  Later, Wen Nings mother took over and with her design talent, she once pushed Man Ruo to a first-line brand.

  When she was a kid, she often came here with her mom, and everything here is all too familiar to her.

  Wen Ning is not greedy, she doesnt want Xie Bei Pings charity, she just wants to take back her grandfather and mothers hard work.

  "Miss, who are you looking for?" The old security guard at the factory gate stopped Wen Ning.

  "Its me, Uncle Ma."

  Ma Dayout rubbed his eyes, "Oh dear, its a young lady."

  Ma Dajun led Wen Ning into the inner office, which was actually just a partitioned-off tea room from the factory floor, with two computers and one fax machine.

  The machine roared into operation, and Wen Ning felt a mix of emotions.

  Her grandfather and mothers decades of hard work, once also stood at the forefront of the industry, but now has been ruined by Xie Beiping, turned into a low-end garment processing factory.

  "Old Li come quickly and see who has arrived?"

  The director of the garment factory, Li Xinhou, shook off the cotton fluff on his body, looked up and was shocked on the spot, "Little miss?"

  Wen Ning stood up, "Uncle Li, its me, Xiao Ning."

  Li Xinhou is a subordinate of Wen Nings grandfather and has been following him since the establishment of the clothing company.

  Li Xinhou was delighted to see Wen Ning and took her to a restaurant. After some small talk, Wen Ning explained the purpose of her visit.

  "Afterwards, Man Rong will be managed by me, Uncle Li must help me. Reviving Man Rong is the last wish of my grandfather and mother."

  Li Xinhou didnt know what he was thinking of, his eyes turned red, "Little miss, where have you been all these years? Not even a phone call."

  Wen Nings eyes also turned red, and after a long time, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Three years ago, when my mom passed away... was she at peace?"

  Li Xinhou poured himself a cup of white wine and drank it down in one gulp.

  The big sister and little miss are both people he has watched grow up, the Wen family is kind to the bone, how did they encounter a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged person like Xie Beiping.

  Li Xinhou sighed and said, "She fell ill at night and was sent to the emergency room, but she didnt last long. She had been suffering from her illness every day, so its a relief that she went early. The only thing is that when she left, she kept mentioning your name..."

  Wen Ning wiped away a tear and raised her teacup, "Uncle, I dont drink alcohol, so Ill use tea instead. Thank you for taking care of my mom all these years."

  Wen Ning left the factory and walked along the road for a long time, calming down his emotions before taking a taxi to a private club in the city center.

  Qiao Miao Xia looked at her from afar and rushed over to hug her.

  "Lemon, where have you been all these years!"

  Qiao Miao Xia still looked the same as when she was in high school, with a neat and tidy short haircut that reached her ears, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, exuding youthfulness.

  Qiao Miao Xia is Wen Nings high school best friend and now a fashion designer.

  "Be honest, where did you go? We agreed to take the university entrance exam together and study design, then dominate the design circle. How could you suddenly disappear from the face of the earth? If it werent for your phone call a few days ago, I would have thought you had immigrated to outer space."

  Didnt I tell you? I went abroad for further study.

  "Dont you keep in touch with friends while studying abroad?"

  Qiao Moxia was half-believing and half-doubting about this answer, but Wen Ning didnt say anything, and she couldnt ask further. The two had a proper matter to attend to on this meeting.

  Wen Ning wants to revive Man Rou, she must find new suppliers and customers, restore production and sales links. Qiao Miao Xia is going to introduce a big client to her today.

  "Is everything ready?" Qiao Xia asked.

  Wen Ning took out a stack of design drafts from her bag, and Qiao Xia looked at them with unending praise. "Youre really something. Lets go, this is definitely going to work."

  Qiao Mi Xia held the manuscript and pushed open the door of a chess and card room with Wen Ning.

  "Sorry, Mr. Lu, Im late," Qiao Muxia shouted from inside.

  Wen Ning followed him in, and in a room full of people, she saw with one glance that Shen Shihuans hand was wrapped around a woman.
