Chapter 688: Chapter 689 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 21_1

Zhang Li knew that Wei Yan had arrived here, and would definitely make time to meet with her.

But right now, all she really wanted was to go out and have fun tomorrow, after all, it was just a three-day vacation, and missing out would mean waiting a long time.

Zhang Li thought about tomorrow when Wei Yan would bring a group of people to her house, and how embarrassing it would be when he knocked on an empty door.

After Yang Xue got home, she asked cautiously, "You’re not planning on acknowledging each other?"

"His family is very wealthy." Although she didn’t know the exact situation, one could imagine, with such a large company, the capital must be substantial.

"So what if they’re wealthy? They also have a daughter, raised and educated to be their perfect little princess, no idea how much they’ve spent, the efforts of both parents."

"What advantage would I have if I went?"

"The only thing I can be proud of is that I got into Harbor City University."

"Forget it, I’m not going there to be a scapegoat."

Zhang Li signaled to Yang Xue that there was definitely something fishy about this.

"Moreover, what if their health isn’t good and they need a transplant, requiring someone to provide a spare body part, then I would be that scapegoat."

Of course, such an event didn’t happen in her previous life, and the original owner had not experienced it, but this time, she couldn’t be sure.

Yang Xue had not expected there to be such a backstory and was quite frightened.

Zhang Li saw Yang Xue’s anxious expression, "It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m just speculating."

"If they have money, they can buy it."

"Anyway, we’re leaving for Macau tomorrow."

"Then off to Yangcheng." In short, the original plan would not be canceled, things would go as they should.

"Won’t they come looking for us?" Yang Xue felt that since they had already gone to Harbor City University to block her, they might as well come to their house.

As for that, Zhang Li didn’t know, "If he comes, we’ll just go to the coffee shop downstairs."

"In any case, we won’t let him in." It was their home in Harbor City.

Although the house was not big and the rent was not cheap, it had been rented for Zhang Li and after some decorating, one could say it was really cozy.

But for the big boss Wei Yan, such a house would seem very run-down; entering such a house would probably make him feel like he lost face.

Of course, there were also the pretentious Xue Yan and the contemptuous Wei Xudong.

They would also be very uncomfortable in this environment, unsure how ugly their faces would turn.

They felt that entering such a small house was something they were unwilling to do; it was just as well that she had never intended to let them know her family’s situation.

"Why go to the coffee shop, it’s very expensive." Yang Xue offered a suggestion, "It’s better to just sit down in the tea restaurant downstairs."

There was a tea restaurant below the apartment they were renting, where the food was really good and the prices were reasonable.

Occasionally, they would buy cold drinks there and bring them upstairs to enjoy, and both the owner and some of the regulars knew Zhang Li and her.

If Wei Yan tried to do something detrimental to Zhang Li, they would not let him succeed.

They had made a plan, but Zhang Li felt it was unlikely; she hadn’t accompanied the secretary to visit Wei Yan today, who knows how angry he could get.

Once Wei Yan got angry, no one knew when he would calm down. The people who appeared before him at such times really had a tough time, as Wei Yan could fly into a rage at them at any moment.

She certainly didn’t want to humiliate herself. If Wei Yan insisted on confirming that she was his daughter, he would have to take the initiative to visit her. She, for one, would not take that initiative herself.

The original owner of this body followed the secretary to the Wei Family, only to have people say that she was scheming. After learning she was a princess of the Wei Family, she began plotting how to enter the family and how to suppress Wei Wei.

In short, the original owner was deemed to be a very scheming person; no one had a good word to say about her.

In this life, she wouldn’t allow anyone to nag at her. If anyone dared to do so, she would drag them straight to Wei Yan and see how he would handle the situation.

Zhang Li took a moment to review the tasks she had handled today, and after much thought, she couldn’t find any issues.

If there really was a problem, they wouldn’t let her off easily.

Seeing his secretary come back empty-handed, Wei Yan’s face couldn’t help but twist into an ugly frown. "Where’s that girl?"

Wei Xudong had come to Harbor City not only because of Wei Yan’s request but also with thoughts of how to shut someone up and drive them out of Harbor City.

He hadn’t anticipated that despite the secretary’s intervention, the other party didn’t come back with him. Wei Xudong was at a loss. What was going on?

Did she genuinely not want to return, or was she retreating to advance, expecting Wei Yan to come to her home to fetch her, thereby gaining face?

Wei Xudong felt this was highly probable. Humph, he just knew Zhang Li was a greedy soul.

Before even stepping through the door, she was already putting on airs. Once they recognized each other as family, who knew how high her tail would lift?

Given Zhang Li’s attitude, not to mention Wei Wei suppressing her, even Wei Xudong himself wasn’t sure that Zhang Li wouldn’t come after him.

"Dad, just look at her attitude. It’s outrageously arrogant."

"Even if there are no proofs yet of your father-daughter relationship, the secretary said as much. Out of courtesy, shouldn’t she pay a visit?"

Wei Xudong put in all his efforts, like a nursing child, to criticize how Zhang Li lacked manners.

Wei Yan, upon hearing Zhang Li’s reply, was of course very angry, feeling that it was a disregard for his authority.

But seeing Wei Xudong hopping around, trying his hardest to smear Zhang Li, his dissatisfaction with this son soared anew.

He himself, having competed for power with numerous half-brothers and laughed last, found Wei Xudong’s methods uninspiring and incapable of catching Wei Yan’s eye.

Wei Xudong was clearly aware of his own insufficient capabilities but didn’t think of how to enhance his strength; instead, he hoped to block Zhang Li’s entry into the Wei Family by besmirching her.

Wei Yan thought Wei Xudong’s vision was really narrow-minded; he just felt that Zhang Li looked down on them.

Why not consider the girl by her side, who became excited upon hearing about Wei’s?

As for Zhang Li, not only did she show no excitement whatsoever, but she also remained calm enough to analyze the situation with friends—a truly rational person.

That made sense. People who studied majors like mathematics tend to be rational and capable of analyzing situations.

Even when suddenly facing such a scenario, they would know how to handle it appropriately.

A girl who knew the situation of Wei’s could still perform a detailed analysis of the issues, signaling not only a desire to avoid trouble but also a swift unraveling of a series of problems.

Wei Yan was growing increasingly fond of his daughter, Zhang Li.

If Wei Xudong failed to bolster Wei’s within the next ten years, then the position of Wei’s President would undoubtedly be offered to Zhang Li.

Wei Xudong, lacking foresight, was someone Wei Yan truly worried about. If he took over the company, people would likely flee the company en masse.
