Seeing Xu Wen in front of her, Meng Xia’s eyes narrowed. “What are you doing here?”
She remembered Meng Yu’s evaluation of Xu Wen, fearing that her intentions were not good. Meng Xia didn’t want any interaction with her.
Xu Wen, familiar with Meng Xia’s expression and small gestures, smiled and said, “I was just passing by and saw you alone in the restaurant. Thought I’d say hello, don’t be nervous.”
Meng Xia relaxed slightly but still remained skeptical. “Miss Xu, you don’t live in the capital. What brings you to A City?”
“Visiting my fiancé, of course,” Xu Wen replied playfully, blinking. “Now that I’m recovered, I wanted to surprise him.”
Meng Xia scoffed internally. She knew how much Gu Chen favored Song Fan and that Xu Wen was merely pursuing him with little reciprocation. 𝗳𝐫𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝖇𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝖒
Ignoring Meng Xia’s disdainful look, Xu Wen continued to smile. “I heard you’re now a deputy manager at Song Corporation. That’s impressive. I remember Song Dong didn’t allow younger family members to work in the company before. You must be highly valued.”
She knew Meng Xia had been insecure all her life, pushed by her family to curry favor with the Song Family for future success. Seeing her in the restaurant alone, Xu Wen deduced that Meng Xia, with her limited vision and ability, must be struggling in the company.
Sure enough, Meng Xia’s eyes reddened and her voice choked. “That has nothing to do with you.”
Xu Wen knew she had hit the mark. Meng Xia’s fragile dreams made her the perfect “ally.”
Pouring Meng Xia a glass of warm water and handing her a tissue, Xu Wen said, “I understand. Coming from a big family, we’re often ostracized when we enter the company as second-generation wealthy heirs.”
Hearing Xu Wen place them on the same level made Meng Xia feel better. Perhaps due to her pregnancy, she often felt wronged and yearned for someone to talk to.
“Yes, the company people push me around, and Song Fan always overshadows me. I never get a chance to shine!” Meng Xia complained.
Xu Wen knew Song Fan’s competence far outstripped Meng Xia’s, but she still said indignantly, “She’s just a country bumpkin who returned from the countryside. I heard you grew up visiting the Song Family, with Mrs. Song personally grooming you. How can Song Fan compare? Besides, you might become Mrs. Brown someday. The Brown family’s second son’s inheritance would be yours.”
Thinking about the baby in her belly, Meng Xia finally smiled and asked, “Inheritance?”
“Yes, you’re the mother of Jason’s child. Naturally, everything would be left to you and your daughter,” Xu Wen said smoothly. “With the Brown Group’s wealth, you could rival the four great families of the capital.”
Meng Xia’s eyes widened in disbelief. She didn’t know how much the Brown Group was worth or if Jason had money. Xu Wen’s words exhilarated her.
With the baby inside her, she was indeed the primary heir to Jason’s estate. Charlie had tried to buy her off with a small sum—impossible!
“However, in your current situation, it would be difficult for the Brown Group to accept you,” Xu Wen continued, making Meng Xia nervous again. “There’s intense competition within the Brown family. For your child to inherit the entire Brown Group, you need to be strong. At the very least, you must become the head of the jewelry brand project and gradually integrate into Song Corporation.”
Meng Xia had never considered this before. As everyone spoke of her golden child, she had been dreaming of becoming Mrs. Brown. Xu Wen’s talk of inheriting the Brown Group made her heart race. Wouldn’t she become the empress dowager of the Brown Group, ruling through her young child? Then, the Song and Gu families would be insignificant.
Seeing the fanaticism in her eyes, Xu Wen knew the time was right. Meng Xia’s scheming hadn’t improved much over the years, only slightly better than Song Yin back then.
“You’re right!” Meng Xia’s tone was excited but also tinged with frustration. “But Song Fan is too much. She always outshines me in the company, and today she accused me of stealing her jewelry design.”
Xu Wen was familiar with Meng Xia’s ability to twist facts but still nodded in agreement. “Song Fan isn’t a good person. She must have bullied you a lot, right? I bet the colleagues at the company side with her too!”
