Chapter 694: Chapter 695 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 27_1

Zhang Li, at Harbor City University, was all about studying — just voraciously reading books. She had no intention whatsoever of joining any clubs or societies.

She had already decided that after three years of undergraduate study, she would continue to pursue her education abroad, continuing her focus on mathematics.

Yang Xue, too, had set her own goal: to apply for medical school abroad after her university graduation.

One required natural talent, and yet effort was important as well, while the other’s current and future fields of study really were just all about hitting the books.

The amount of time both spent in classrooms and libraries was definitely significant.

By contrast, Wei Xudong was much more open and sociable.

Even as an exchange student who arrived after the school term had begun, it did not prevent him from joining clubs and quickly getting acquainted with his classmates.

Before long, he had come to know quite a few of his peers in the economics department, with a growing trend of making acquaintances beyond his own field.

Even Zhang Li, who wasn’t sociable, had heard Wei Xudong’s name mentioned by her classmates numerous times.

Initially, it was because he played many sports, breaking a lot of their preconceptions about Mainland students. Plus, he was especially outgoing, blending in well with everyone.

Later on, the conversations about Wei Xudong increased, such as talks about him trading stocks and making a considerable sum in the stock market, and how he was looking for a sea-view apartment, planning to move.

Zhang Li had not expected Wei Xudong to have any real prowess, but he had managed to earn quite a bit of money in a short time and was able to afford living in a sea-view apartment.

In fact, she had also made a fair amount of money. Though she couldn’t afford to buy a sea-view property, renting one wasn’t out of the question for her.

However, she never considered moving into a sea-view apartment, not even contemplating switching to a two-bedroom place.

She wondered whether her provocation would lead to Wei Xudong’s growth and if he would become the heir Wei Yan envisioned.

Zhang Li knew that once Wei Xudong took business even slightly more seriously, Wei Yan would certainly nurture his potential.

Once this young man secured his position, she could guess that Wei Xudong would definitely strive to suppress her, thoroughly trampling her into the mud.

He wouldn’t let her become an obstacle for him, and it would also serve as retribution.

Her plan now was to make money diligently, so even if she later faced all kinds of suppression, she could still lead a carefree life, comfortably living off rent and dividends.

When Yang Xue heard people bringing up Wei Xudong, praising his youthful achievements, she was speechless.

"They really should see how their ’gentleman’ treats his own sister."

"He has never regarded me as a sister," despite the DNA test confirming that she was the daughter of Wei Yan and Xue Yan.

But the relationship between Zhang Li and Wei Xudong hadn’t shown any signs of improvement; in fact, it had gotten even worse.

"You don’t regard him as a brother either," Yang Xue said fairly, "So, are you going back for the Spring Festival?"

"I’m not going back." Wei Yan had mentioned that he could book Zhang Li a flight for the Spring Festival, which would eliminate the excuse of lacking money.

She couldn’t use that excuse anymore, but it was fine; she didn’t want to go back for the new year. Any random excuse would suffice — it wasn’t difficult at all.

"I simply said that my relationship with Wei Xudong is quite ordinary."

"And I can’t stand his show-off attitude."

"I have already seen enough of his smug face at Harbor City University, just let me have a peaceful Spring Festival."

"I also mentioned, is Wei Wei now considered Wei Xudong’s girlfriend or the Wei Family’s foster daughter?"

Hahaha, Zhang Li knew that the topic of Wei Wei could always be used to provoke Wei Yan.

Wei Xudong’s success was a good thing for Wei’s, as it meant that the heir could perfectly shoulder the company’s heavy responsibilities.

But in Wei Yan’s view, it didn’t seem very good. The better Wei Xudong’s life was, the stronger his abilities, the more money he made, the less he relied on the family.

When the time came and Wei Xudong said he wanted to marry Wei Wei, even if Wei Yan opposed it, what could he do?

"Then he would be furious." Yang Xue had no fondness for Wei Yan.

On one hand, she calculated to get Zhang Li to return home, while on the other, she didn’t take care of Wei Xudong, not insisting that he look after Zhang Li even just a little, or at least not mock and ridicule her.

"That’s his problem. He only has that one son, and he’s worried too. After pouring so much effort into raising a child, if that child ends up only wanting his wife and not his parents, they’d be panicking."

As parents grow older, unless they are ruthless, the ones who always make concessions are the parents themselves.

"So will you still get anything by that time?" Yang Xue knew that Zhang Li wouldn’t want those things. She had mentioned before that if she did receive a share, she wouldn’t keep it, she would donate it.

Whether I’ll get anything? "Probably a little, but not much."

Since she was not a child they had brought up themselves, there was not much affection to begin with, and since she was not an obedient child, the parents wouldn’t like her at all.

"The more they give, the more it becomes a burden to me."

"In the future, if Wei’s falls on hard times, do I support them or not?" This money was really hot to the touch.

Would Wei’s have difficult times ahead? Yang Xue didn’t understand; although Wei’s wasn’t a top-tier enterprise, it was still large-scale, so how could it be struggling?

Yang Xue was curious but did not ask further after all, she truly didn’t understand the Wei Family.

"If you’re not going back for the Spring Festival, where are you planning to go?" Yang Xue hadn’t decided whether to go back or stay home herself.

"I’ll just stay here and read some books," Zhang Li had already prepared for the vacation, "I plan to visit some places in Harbor City and then go eat some seafood."

"Maybe I’ll stay in Yangcheng for a couple of days." Being alone for the Spring Festival, she was free to go anywhere.

Even though it was just a simple exchange, Yang Xue could imagine how comfortable Zhang Li’s Spring Festival would be.

"I’m really a bit envious, but I still plan to go back and spend the festival with my parents." If she didn’t have the money to go back for the Spring Festival, then that would be another matter, but now she could afford the return ticket.

"If I go to America to study medicine, I won’t be able to spend the Spring Festival with my parents." Thinking of this, Yang Xue firmed up her resolve to return for the Spring Festival.

"Go back then. If I come across something delicious, I’ll bring some back for you," Zhang Li had long known the likelihood of Yang Xue returning home for the New Year was high.

Wei Xudong had also fallen out with Wei Yan over the issue of returning home for the New Year.

Wei Yan thought that Wei Xudong had improved quite a bit in the past few months and had made significant progress.

As for Zhang Li, although Wei Yan was quite dissatisfied with her majoring in mathematics, preferring she would have studied economics instead.

However, his interest in Zhang Li had not diminished, and he made contact with a professor from the mathematics department of Harbor City University through a friend’s connections.

The professor’s opinion was that, even if she couldn’t become a mathematician, her achievements in mathematics wouldn’t be too shabby. She could enter the investment or insurance industry in the future.

Wei Yan now felt that with Wei Xudong taking charge of the company’s big picture and Zhang Li mixing in the financial circle outside, she could also bring more connections to the Wei Family, and he was very fond of Zhang Li.
