Chapter 679: Chapter 680 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 12_1

The Yang family came together to send Zhang Li to the airport, where Zhang Li embraced Yang Xue once more in farewell, "I’ll wait for you in Harbor City."

"As for the house, we’ll rent it after you arrive," Yang Xue said, although she let her choose the house, Zhang Li insisted on selecting the house together once everyone was there.

"You make the choice, renting a house is very expensive," Yang Xue knew how costly it was to stay in a hotel in Harbor City for a month.

"No worries, I can get a short-term lease." It was a good opportunity to experience the unique subdivided rooms of Harbor City.

After completing the procedures and checking her luggage, Zhang Li hugged Yang Xue again, bid farewell to the Yang family, and prepared to go through the security check.

Yang Xue watched her go through security, "Let’s go, Mom and Dad, we have one more month, then we can head over too."

Originally, Father Yang thought that only Mother Yang should go to send Yang Xue abroad for her studies, as round-trip plane tickets were very expensive.

However, Yang Xue made a little money tutoring and insisted that the entire family should go to see the place where she would be studying in the future.

The family of three took a taxi away from the airport, unaware that just after they had seen Zhang Li off on her plane, someone was at the Zhang Family’s home looking for her.

The secretary had just managed to access Zhang Li’s information through his connections, and the moment he saw Zhang Li’s photo, his first reaction was that she was the boss’s daughter.

One could really say that she looked like Wei Yan; anyone would believe that they were father and daughter.

More importantly, the names of the parents registered on Zhang Li’s form were the very couple that had been missing from the baby-switching incident.

At first, it was thought that the couple refused to accept outside information, but only now did they realize that the couple had already passed away.

The secretary briefly discussed Zhang Li’s situation with his boss, and Wei Yan originally thought about how to communicate this matter with Zhang Li’s foster parents.

Unexpectedly, they had already died, which was a relief for Wei Yan.

Since both individuals who could have been obstacles were gone, there were no issues.

In his delight, Wei Yan of course remembered the most important matter and instructed his secretary to arrange a DNA test.

Even if the resemblance was striking, they still needed to see the DNA results, to ensure that the child was truly of the Wei family.

Having already experienced a baby-switching incident before, Wei Yan did not want it to happen again; it would be a laughingstock if it became public.

The secretary could not ignore the boss’s orders and hurriedly drove to Zhang Li’s house.

A neighbor, seeing someone at the entrance of Zhang Family home, thought it was someone looking for her to tutor their child, "Are you looking for Zhang Li?"

Without missing a beat, the secretary turned, "Yes, I’m looking for Zhang Li, is she home?"

The neighbor shook their head, "She’s not here; she took an early flight to Harbor City today."

Stunned, the secretary said, "But school doesn’t start until September, and it’s only the end of July now, why did she leave so early?"

The neighbor didn’t know the details, "I don’t know, I just know she left today."

What could the secretary do? He had no choice but to call Wei Yan again, report the situation, and ask what to do next.

Wei Yan too was taken aback; he had sent his secretary overnight, thinking to resolve this matter of recognizing their ancestral heritage before school started, should the woman be his daughter.

Yet unexpectedly, the young woman had already set off for Harbor City.

The secretary asked for further instructions, but what could Wei Yan do? Other than telling the secretary to come back, he really didn’t know how to proceed.

Wei Xudong had thought the secretary would be busy for a few days, but unexpectedly, the matter had been resolved so swiftly.

His first reaction was that the other person was actually not a member of his own family, which is why they retreated so quickly.

It was only later that he learned the secretary returned so quickly not because he thought the person wasn’t family, but because Zhang Li had already gone directly to Harbor City.

Wei Xudong curled his lips in disdain, "She really has no class. Just going to Harbor City and she’s already showing off."

"If she were going to Europe or America, then that might be something, especially since she’s only just received her acceptance letter." Wei Xudong felt that Zhang Li was a petty person, and not as good as Wei Wei.

"Dad, you see, people like Zhang Li, not to speak ill of her, but they really get arrogant when they succeed—heading to Harbor City for studies and having to leave so early. If it were Europe or America, then that would really be something."

"At least she has a smart brain, able to achieve such results without private tutoring."

"Do the math yourself, how old was Wei Wei when she went to Harbor City, to Japan and Korea, and when she went to Europe and America."

"You should focus more on your studies." Wei Yan sighed helplessly. Before, he had thought his son was quite good, but now, no matter how he looked, everything seemed disagreeable.

Upon hearing his father’s words, Wei Xudong immediately took offense. He thought Wei Yan was just being critical because Wei Wei was not his biological daughter, and he started to argue with his father.

Wei Yan was truly enraged by his son, "Get out, just get out!"

Wei Xudong, seeing Wei Yan breathing heavily, was also worried something might happen, and turned to leave, "Dad, if you’re not arranging a university for Wei Wei, it’s okay, I can handle it."

"You handle it, and how would you do that?" Wei Yan didn’t want to continue talking with Wei Xudong, "If you’ve got a way, then you arrange it."

After Wei Xudong left, Wei Yan instructed to freeze the supplementary card he had arranged for Wei Xudong.

Worried that his son would go out with friends and not have money to pay the bill, he had specially arranged a supplementary card for him.

If his son wouldn’t listen, well, he would let him learn the consequences of disobedience.

He knew all too well what Wei Xudong’s so-called "having a way" meant—it was nothing more than sending her abroad for studies.

The kid did have money, but if he sent Wei Wei abroad, the living expenses that followed would give him a good run for his money.

Knowing that Xue Yan doted on the Wei siblings, Wei Yan directly called Xue Yan.

Xue Yan also had a lot of headaches these past few days, suspecting her own biological daughter, whose grades were quite good, but looking at Wei Wei’s pitiful state today, she felt troubled too.

This was also her dearly nurtured daughter, and she hoped she would do well, but with those academic results, even if she asked for help, she didn’t know who to turn to.

Xue Yan, receiving Wei Yan’s call, hadn’t expected the man to actually cut off Wei Xudong’s financial source.

Xue Yan: Isn’t that a bit harsh? What if he’s out socializing with friends...

Wei Yan snorted coldly: A son with no brains who even says I play favorites. I think he’s just confused.

Wei Yan: Since he accuses me of playing favorites, I’ll let him learn what happens when he disobeys.

Wei Yan: If you dare to support the two of them, you can figure it out yourself.

After saying that, he hung up. Xue Yan had intended to mediate, but had not expected the man to take such a strong stance this time.

Although Xue Yan’s income was substantial, her expenses were just as significant—keeping up appearances cost money, and her salary was like water flowing through fingers, unable to sustain her lifestyle.

Except for following Wei Yan’s instructions, she had no other choice.

All she could do now was to advise Wei Xudong not to fall out with Wei Yan, as the one to suffer would be his son.

After hanging up, she remembered she had completely forgotten to ask Wei Yan about her daughter’s situation and whether he had found a solution.
