Chapter 690: Chapter 691 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 23_1

Wei Xudong saw Wei Yan storming out of the room, furious. Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened,

he was certain that Xue Yan must have provoked him and made him unhappy, otherwise, he wouldn’t be this angry.

When Wei Yan saw Wei Xudong, the latter wanted to ask what had happened, but seeing Wei Yan’s unfriendly gaze, he chickened out.

Wei Yan looked at Wei Xudong, who kept backing away, and sighed softly. Such a person, he thought, would have difficulty not just in pioneering, but even in maintaining what was already established.

Wei Xudong heard Wei Yan’s sigh and knew it was a sign of dissatisfaction with him.

He really didn’t understand—clearly he had always been like this, so why didn’t he see anything wrong with him before.

Wei Xudong felt that Wei Wei was right, the reason for Wei Yan’s changes was because the old man was completely satisfied with Zhang Li and looked down on him.

Wei Yan hadn’t planned to bring Wei Xudong with him originally, but then he thought, after all, it was their first time meeting as siblings, "Do you have something to do?"

"I, I don’t have anything." In fact, Wei Xudong had arranged to go shopping with Wei Wei, but he knew he couldn’t say that.

"Follow me." Wei Yan turned around and left.

Wei Xudong didn’t know where Wei Yan was taking him or for how long. He quickly sent a message to Wei Wei saying something had come up and then hurried to catch up with Wei Yan.

Getting into the car, Wei Yan said to the driver, "Go to Zhang Li’s place."

The driver started the car without even asking for the address.

Wei Xudong was startled; he knew this definitely meant that the address was known, otherwise, he would have asked.

It seemed that his own father’s concern for this sister was far beyond his expectations.

Wei Xudong kept thinking about how to deal with the situation, and the best way would be to make Zhang Li back off willingly.

But faced with the vast assets of the Wei Family, there were few who could remain unmoved.

Wei Xudong simply couldn’t come up with a solution, and at this time, the car also came to a stop.

He looked up through the car window. It was a building that had been around for some years, but this area, with many mountain-climbing elevators leading to Harbor City University, seemed to be a popular place for its students to rent homes.

But could you see the sea from here? He knew that in Harbor City, homes with a view of the sea were the most valuable.

Wei Yan knew that Zhang Li’s living conditions were not great, but when he saw the environment in front of him, he was shocked as well.

"The child has really been wronged." He had never imagined a child of the Wei Family would live in such an environment.

Wronged the child? Wei Xudong knew Zhang Li’s upbringing, and in his opinion, this environment was far from wronging Zhang Li.

Zhang Li was doing her homework in the living room when she heard someone knocking on the door and looked up in confusion.

Yang Xue was also surprised; in Harbor City, people are usually quite indifferent and don’t take the initiative to greet you.

Zhang Li thought for a moment—could it be them? Still, she assumed it was probably Wei Yan’s secretary.

"Who is it?" Yang Xue asked softly, at the door.

"It’s me, Wei Yan." Wei Yan was quite pleased with the girl’s caution; two young ladies should be cautious.

"Don’t know you." Zhang Li was blunt.

Wei Yan was taken aback. He had imagined many scenarios for their father-daughter reunion, but he had never expected this one.

Seeing Wei Yan at a loss gave Wei Xudong a sense of delight, though he knew he couldn’t let it show; it would definitely not end well for him.

Wei Xudong restrained himself from laughing, but his expression did not escape Wei Yan’s notice.

Wei Yan snorted coldly, "I’m your dad."

"My dad has passed away," Zhang Li replied, even more directly.

Wei Xudong watched as Zhang Li engaged in such a suicidal act, and his heart filled with glee.

The old man was used to being high and mighty, with everyone heeding his words. Did this fool Zhang Li really think that she could capture the old man’s attention like this?

Wei Yan took a deep breath, "I think my secretary has already explained the situation to you."

"It’s also about time your neighbors start returning from work.." Wei Yan certainly didn’t want to stand in the corridor talking, where people could point fingers at them.

If someone recognized him, he would lose face completely.

Zhang Li thought the same and opened the door, "Only you can come in."

As for Wei Xudong following behind, she had no intention of letting him enter.

This person had been particularly cruel to the original host; he had watched Wei Wei bully her without intervening.

Publicly, he even declared that he only had one sister, Wei Wei.

Since some people only have one sister, Wei Wei, let that person continue to be a lapdog then.

"He is.." Even though Wei Yan was dissatisfied with Wei Xudong, that was still his own son.

"Either you come in alone, or just get lost," Zhang Li said impatiently, "Stop dilly-dallying. I still have to read."

Wei Yan, seeing the frown on Zhang Li’s face, could only keep calming himself down and reminding himself that, after all, she was his daughter.

"Fine, I’ll go in alone," Wei Yan instructed Wei Xudong and the others to just stand by the door.

His plan was to go in and have a good talk with Zhang Li. Once her guard was down, he could let Wei Xudong enter.

His plan was good, but he hadn’t communicated with his son, who was not content to stand aside.

Despite his discontent, Wei Xudong could only forcefully watch as Wei Yan entered the room.

Once inside, Wei Yan surveyed the entire house, from the living room he could see three doors leading to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.

The two girls were actually living in just one bedroom. "Your brother is coming to Harbor City University, and our family has a property here in Harbor City."

"Stop right there," Zhang Li gestured for Wei Yan to halt, "Whether or not you and I are father and daughter is in question."

"We are, you may not know, but you really do resemble me," he said.

"And there’s various documentation to prove it," Wei Yan insisted that Zhang Li was indeed his daughter.

"Whether it’s true or not isn’t something that documentation can prove, we still need a DNA test."

"Even if you are my father, so what? To me, you are just a blood relative, a familiar stranger."

"I won’t move into a house under your name. If possible, I’d rather maintain a distance like we do now."

Grow closer to the Wei Family? No, thank you. Wei Xudong was not decent, and perhaps Wei Yan and his wife were no better.

From his pleased nodding, she felt like nothing more than a commodity awaiting its price, possibly being calculated for how much profit he could make.

"I am your father, shouldn’t it be right for you to live in our home?" Wei Yan became displeased. Their relationship was already quite estranged.

If they didn’t live together, whether their relationship could improve was itself a question.

"I don’t think so, and I believe that your wife, son, and daughter, they certainly won’t like me."

"You are already used to having a dutiful daughter around to take care of you, so don’t bother."

"But you are my daughter. How can you live in such an environment? If word gets out, I’ll have lost all my dignity."

Wei Yan stated that Wei Xudong and the others would definitely welcome her and wouldn’t bear any ill will towards her.

No ill will towards her? Please, it’s she who bears the ill will towards them.
