Chapter 677: Chapter 678 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 10_1

Before long, the admission notice from Harbor City University arrived in the mail, and it was only then that the media discovered that the university had admitted three students from the city, all on full scholarships.

What surprised them even more was that two of the students were classmates and even desk mates. It was through their teacher and classmates that they learned the two were study partners.

Zhang Li wasn’t very fond of the daily interviews, but since they approached Father Yang, she agreed to them.

After all, she was about to leave, so even if they saw her, it wouldn’t matter.

Soon, their interviews were published not just in newspapers but also broadcast on television.

Wang Meina, though she had left her hometown for many years, would occasionally catch up on the local news to know what was happening back home.

Today, she watched the news out of habit and was shocked by the face on the screen; she stood up abruptly.

"It’s really similar, very similar," Wang Lina of course knew that her current granddaughter was not her daughter and son-in-law’s child.

But they were too familiar with her, and without having found their own biological daughter, they couldn’t bear to part with the girl and didn’t let her go back.

To Wang Lina, this granddaughter, whom she had never met and knew nothing about, was of course of no consequence; she followed her daughter and son-in-law’s thoughts.

Considering what the news had just reported, this girl had excellent college entrance examination results, got into Harbor City University, and even received a full scholarship.

The more Wang Lina thought about it, the more she was convinced that this girl must be her daughter and son-in-law’s child. Her son-in-law was a brilliant student, and the granddaughter’s grades were excellent too.

Although Wang Lina had her doubts, she also wanted to see what her daughter and her family thought.

Without hesitation, Wang Lina picked up the phone and called her daughter and the family, but these days Xue Yan was utterly drained.

Since the college entrance examination results came out, Wei Wei’s scores were nowhere near enough for even a third-tier university, let alone a better community college.

Ever since middle school, Xue Yan had provided the child with various tutoring from renowned teachers, but the result was that the scores turned out like this. Xue Yan felt it must be like her birth parents.

Every day, seeing Wei Wei so heartbroken was truly shattering for Wei Xudong. He looked up at Wei Yan and Xue Yan.

"Mom and Dad, what do we do about this..." In his heart, there was nothing they couldn’t solve.

Wei Wei looked at them with teary eyes, chocking back sobs. She certainly didn’t want to attend a community college.

Wei Yan hadn’t stopped worrying about this issue in recent days. Of course, if he could, he also wanted Wei Wei to attend a prestigious university.

"There’s no way," Xue Yan said helplessly, "although the children of teaching staff do get consideration during the college entrance examination, it’s not much."

"Really, there’s no way." After the scores were released, she had inquired about their options, "With these scores, really..."

Xue Yan helplessly indicated there was no way to attend their own university, but at this moment, Wang Lina called and brought up the subject.

Xue Yan couldn’t believe the old lady could declare they had found their child just from watching the news. How was she to believe that?

Xue Yan: "Mom, you can’t just see a girl who looks like Old Wei and decide that she must be my child."

Wang Lina became angry: "Not only does she resemble Wei Yan, her grades are excellent, her college entrance examination scores are that good."

Good college entrance examination scores? Xue Yan said irritably, "Is she the provincial top-scorer or the city top-scorer?"

Wang Lina: "Neither, but she has full marks in mathematics, lost only five points in the science comprehensive, and then she got a full scholarship to Harbor City University."

Xue Yan couldn’t believe the scores were that high; after all, she was a college professor. Although she didn’t need to take the college entrance exam or closely review exam papers...

But they also knew that the science exam papers from that province were not easy, so to achieve such an incredible score was truly surprising.

Xue Yan hesitated for a while, "Such a good score, um, mom, do you know anything about her situation?"

Having a daughter admitted to Harbor City University with a full scholarship to boast of was definitely prestigious.

Wei Wei, who had been crying, hadn’t expected that they might have actually found the biological daughter of her parents.

What was more important was that the girl’s grades were exceptional, and she could attend Harbor City University — that was Harbor City University, after all, not to mention that she had secured a full scholarship.

Wei Wei knew that the reason why her parents kept her in the Wei Family, besides the years of emotional attachment, was also because they hadn’t found their biological daughter and they knew nothing about her situation.

Once they learned that the girl had outstanding grades, how could they not be tempted? Wei Wei was aware of her biological parents’ circumstances, which could be said to be not so great.

Wei Wei really did not want to return; for her, going back would mean living a hellish life.

She had thought that as long as she could go to college, with her looks, the friends she knew, and her manners, she would definitely bring benefits to the Wei Family.

They would certainly introduce her to young talents, achieving a win-win situation.

When the biological daughter returned, her own status would not be shaken.

But to her dismay, before her plan could come to fruition, the other girl appeared, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

Wei Wei really couldn’t understand why the girl hadn’t appeared before, but was showing up now.

Xue Yan hung up the phone and saw Wei Yan and the others staring at her, and she smiled as she mentioned Wang Lina’s call.

"The old lady just thinks she looks like you."

"Go and find out more," Wei Yan said decisively, since making inquiries wasn’t a big deal.

He had heard that the child was admitted to Harbor City University and had received a full scholarship, which proved the child’s intelligence.

A smart daughter who could help the family was definitely something Wei Yan liked.

Wei Wei originally wanted to find a way to interfere, but she hadn’t expected Wei Yan to act so quickly, leaving her no room to speak out.

If it had been Xue Yan, Wei Wei might have had some means, but now that Wei Yan had spoken, she knew there was no turning back.

Wei Xudong felt no affection for this suddenly emerged sister, especially after seeing Wei Wei’s expression fall.

"Dad, I think we shouldn’t rush into this," Wei Xudong stepped forward to speak.

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei looked at him gratefully, knowing that if anyone in the family truly cared for her without expecting anything in return, it was only Wei Xudong.

Receiving his sister’s grateful gaze, Wei Xudong stood his ground even under Wei Yan’s dissatisfied look, showing no sign of backing down.

Wei Yan was very unhappy with Wei Xudong’s actions; whenever Wei Wei was involved, this son’s judgment seemed clouded.

He had not sent Wei Wei back exactly because he knew her family was indeed poor, and if Wei Wei were to return, he didn’t know what trouble she might cause.

He held very high expectations for Wei Xudong, even having a potential daughter-in-law in mind who could assist the family.

As for Wei Wei, she really wasn’t a suitable bride for his family, so it was better to keep her, where everything remained within controllable limits.

He hadn’t anticipated Wei Wei would be so foolish; after spending so much money, the results she achieved were just so mediocre.
