Chapter 908: Wen Yan’s Goal is Achieved

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When Grandma Wen thought about the recent series of events, her head began to hurt.

She did not know whether this divorce was a good or bad thing to the Wen family.

After all, Wen Cheng was at fault for cheating on his wife… However, Cai Qinyue asked for a divorce as soon as Wen Cheng’s business was about to go bankrupt…

“Mother, please don’t worry about who is right and who is wrong. That’s not important. What is most important is your health. Please take care of yourself,” Wen Nuan comforted.

“Yeah, I suppose so. I shouldn’t dwell on such things. Fortunately, I still have you and Yiling. Please come and visit us more often in the future.”

“Where is my brother right now?”

“He’s upstairs in his study. He’s working non-stop. I think he’s attempting to numb himself with work.”

“Does Cai Qinyue know that my brother’s business is performing well again?”

Wen Nuan no longer called this person her “sister-in-law.”

“I’m not sure. If they don’t know yet, I feel like they will learn about it soon. After all, Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo are still in Beijing. Therefore, they would eventually learn about what’s happening to the Wen family.”

When Grandma Wen mentioned Wen Ruo, her expression was filled with reluctance. She still loved her granddaughter dearly.

Wen Ruo was the only granddaughter1 in the Wen family. If she no longer lived in the Wen Residence, Grandma Wen would not get to see her often.

At this moment, Wen Yan came down the stairs in his wheelchair.

His wheelchair could smoothly go up and down the stairs.

His eyes swept over the group of people in the living room. Finally, his eyes landed on Jian Yiling…

Jian Yiling looked at Wen Yan for a moment before she quickly withdrew her eyes.

She knew that Wen Yan did not like her.

However, Wen Yan’s gaze lingered on Jian Yiling for a long time.

It seemed as though he was recalling something.

He had achieved his goal.

Wen Ruo had left the Wen family.

This was his ultimate goal when he initially set up the trap for Wen Cheng.

The person he wanted to take revenge on was always Wen Ruo and not Cai Qinyue.

If he set up a trap for Cai Qinyue, when Cai Qinyue and Wen Cheng divorced, Wen Cheng would definitely fight for the custody of his daughter. He would not let Wen Ruo leave with Cai Qinyue.

However, if Wen Cheng felt that he was in the wrong, he would willingly give up custody of his daughter.

And in order for Cai Qinyue to ask for a divorce, two conditions had to be met.

The first being Wen Cheng’s betrayal.

The second being Wen Cheng having no money.

If only the first condition was met, Cai Qinyue would become angry. She would argue with Wen Cheng. However, she wouldn’t necessarily ask for a divorce.

But if Cai Qinyue knew that Wen Cheng might go into debt, she would definitely want to pull out early.

And thus, the second order Wen Yan gave was to create problems for Wen Cheng’s businesses. He wanted to create the illusion that Wen Cheng was about to go bankrupt and into debt.

In this situation, Cai Qinyue would take the initiative to ask for a divorce. In addition, she would not be able to get a share of Wen Cheng’s money.

Now that Cai Qinyue left the Wen family, she would no longer have access to the Wen family’s money and assets.

As Wen Ruo left with Cai Qinyue, she would also lose everything she previously had.

And thus, Wen Yan’s goal had been achieved.

At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.

Grandma Wen picked up the phone. Wen Ruo was on the other side of the phone: “Grandma, I heard that my father’s business took a turn for the better. He’s no longer facing bankruptcy right?”

As expected, Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo had indeed heard of the news.

“Yep. Several of your father’s businesses have taken a turn for the better. If they turn out well, he will be able to reverse the losses made,” Grandma Wen replied. When speaking to her granddaughter, Grandma Wen was unable to lie.

“Grandma, could I visit my father tomorrow? I miss you guys,” Wen Ruo said.
