Chapter 692: Chapter 693 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 25_1

Wei Yan, although very angry, still restrained himself, "Xiao Li, I know you have opinions about me."

"I don’t have any opinions, I’m just very satisfied with my life right now."

"I have no intention of getting involved in the disputes between you and your son, nor do I want to be a sharpening stone."

"Nor am I willing to become an object of a family alliance through marriage."

"I have never thought about making efforts for Wei’s company either."

"I have never enjoyed the glory of the Wei’s, don’t plan to do so in the future, and certainly won’t give anything for Wei’s."

"Anyway, I wish you all the best."

Zhang Li turned to Wei Xudong, "Work hard."

Then she closed the door, leaving Wei Xudong still doubtful, wondering whether this was to lower his guard against her or if she truly had no such intentions.

"Let’s go." Wei Yan originally wanted to say more, but remembering Zhang Li’s impolite remarks just now, his face immediately turned sour.

Wei Xudong saw Wei Yan’s anger and hurried to follow, looking worried.

Just as he got into the car, and the driver was about to join him, "You get down first, I’ll call you back later."

Wei Yan, thinking back to Zhang Li’s tone and expression when she spoke, felt his anger rising, and now, looking at Wei Xudong, he found himself increasingly displeased.

Wei Xudong sensed that the situation was very bad and really wanted to run away.

Wei Yan sighed, "I have always taken pride in you."

"Thinking that Wei’s company would flourish in your hands, but your current performance, I’m really very dissatisfied."

"What’s more important is that Zhang Li knows all about your situation."

"Your incompetence, the big splash you made on the stock market last time, she knows all the tricks behind it."

"She stopped just short of saying that you have no way of taking over, of making Wei’s grow and strengthen."

Since that girl was dead against returning, and given her attitude just now, Wei Yan was very angry, and now decided to add fuel to the fire.

Wei Xudong, hearing that Zhang Li had caught on to the tricks in the stock market stunt, felt his heart rise to his throat, not understanding how such a young girl could have spotted the issues.

Soon, he stopped caring about that and was angry that Zhang Li looked down on him so much.

"How am I useless? I thought about keeping a low profile." Of course, there was also the matter of Wei Yan’s various restrictions, forbidding this and that.

Thinking about what some friends had said behind his back, Wei Xudong grew angrier and angrier, compounded by Wei Yan’s attitude toward him.

"How am I useless? It’s not that I don’t have ideas, but have I been given the chance to implement them?"

"You all say I’m a failure, but what wrong things have I actually done to make you think that?"

"Is it because you think Zhang Li, who got her scholarship through her own efforts, could come here and make money trading stocks?"

"I’m not bad at trading stocks." It was just trading stocks after all, and he wasn’t inept at it.

"Fine, you just show us what you can do. You missed out on applying for the Harbor City University scholarship, so I will give you the equivalent of the highest scholarship amount."

"This includes costs for rent and food."

"As for trading stocks, I’ll give you two hundred thousand. You trade stocks, and by the Chinese New Year, I’ll see how much income you have."

Doesn’t Wei Yan wish his child would be successful? He dreams of it, but Wei Xudong’s heart and mind are filled with nothing but Wei Wei.

What Wei Xudong originally wanted was for Wei Yan to give him a company to test the waters with, so he could prove he wasn’t an incompetent fool by producing results.

Wei Yan had presented such an option, which utterly astonished Wei Xudong.

"That little scholarship money, I can’t rent a nice house." A two-bedroom with a sea view must cost at least ten thousand a month, right?

Wei Yan really doubted whether Wei Xudong was listening to him at all, "It’s not just the rent, but also food, clothing, and even your tuition."

"Including if you want to go back, the travel expenses are covered too." Wei Yan also wanted to see what kind of strength Wei Xudong would unleash under such circumstances.

What? Wei Xudong hadn’t imagined Wei Yan would be so stingy with him, that meager scholarship money, and yet it was supposed to cover so many expenses.

"I, I can’t live with this." No matter how much Wei Xudong calculated, he felt this was an impossible task.

Seeing Wei Xudong continually saying the task was impossible, Wei Yan really wanted to smack him.

On one hand, he posed as wanting to compete with Zhang Li, on the other hand, he complained about the money not being enough, "You want to compete with Zhang Li, don’t you? That’s exactly how she does it."

Ahh, Wei Xudong knew it would be like this, it was all Zhang Li’s fault he had been tricked.

But now that he knew he had been duped, he had no choice but to tough it out.

"Dad, I got it, I know what to do." Now, all Wei Xudong could hope for was to make more money in the stock market.

Only if he earned more in the stock market, he would have more money at his disposal.

Not only could he buy whatever he wanted, but he could also buy things for Wei Wei, having forgotten when was the last time he bought her favorite clothes and handbags.

Making money, a man must have money, life without money is truly unbearable.

Hearing his son’s words, Wei Yan sighed internally, "Do well."

He was certain that Zhang Li wasn’t someone who could be easily manipulated.

Even if Wei Xudong was still worthless, the price to pay for her helping manage the company would be substantial.

Although he hadn’t asked her, he knew, even without asking, the cost of her help wouldn’t be small.

If possible, Wei Yan really didn’t want to see this girl again, understanding why his secretary had such a strange expression when mentioning Zhang Li.

No matter what, while Wei Xudong hadn’t fully matured, he still had to pamper Zhang Li a bit.

Originally, Wei Xudong had planned to come to Harbor City University as an exchange student next semester but now, with a new goal, he naturally wanted to come earlier to earn money sooner.

Wei Yan could guess the reason behind Wei Xudong’s proactive behavior. Although he was slightly unhappy, if it could spur his son’s growth, it was a price he was willing to pay.

After a long while, Yang Xue realized the corridor was empty and gently closed the door.

"It’s good that you’re not going back; they treat you like a fool." What does it matter if their family is rich, they don’t take care of Zhang Li at all.

"Otherwise, do you think they would acknowledge me?"

"Acknowledging me is both an offensive and defensive move."

"Plus, I’m the best whetstone for their precious son."

Zhang Li exhales deeply, "Alright, the annoying person is gone, at least for the next few days I won’t have to see him."

Wei Yan was not a masochist; perhaps in his eyes, just coming here was already showing her enough respect.

She didn’t give him a warm welcome today, which would have been problematic if he decided to call on her.

"Maybe in a few days, you can see the Wei Family’s son." Just now, she heard Wei Yan mention Wei Xudong was coming to Harbor City University as an exchange student.

The thought of it made her head hurt, thankfully they weren’t in the same major. She didn’t want to face that showy peacock every day; just the thought of it gave her a headache.
