Chapter 698: Chapter 699 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 31_1

Wei Yan watched Zhang Li’s retreating back, knowing not to expect this child to soften her heart and lend the money without seeking a return.

With no other options, Wei Yan could only agree, as Zhang Li’s pricing was the only fair one.

"Fine, let’s sell the land." Just as he spoke, Wei Yan aged significantly.

For the land that would soon no longer be his, he truly had various reluctances, always feeling he might miss out on something important.

But there was no other way, the money really had to be paid, "Can it be hurried up?"

"I’m going to establish a company." She knew that these plots of land laid a good foundation for the Wei’s entry into the real estate industry.

Now, even if she could not prevent Wei’s from entering the real estate industry, she could hinder their chance to skyrocket in popularity.

"You need to establish a company?" Wei Yan thought that if he did not bring up the development of the land now, he could raise it again in a year and a half.

Since the land was under Zhang Li’s name, it was also possible to develop it jointly, and when the time came, how much money to give this girl would be his decision.

Unexpectedly, this girl was actually planning to establish a company, which made the private funding for land purchasing even more difficult to manage.

"Yes, whether to sell or to transfer in the future, I haven’t decided yet, first it will fall under the company’s name."

"I’ll think about how to develop it later." Such a good opportunity, of course, must not be missed.

She had actually already thought about how to develop it, simply copying the Wei Family’s approach from her previous life.

With a ready-made successful template, of course, the simpler the better.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan felt a growing chill in his heart, "Actually, the company is capable as well..."

"If Wei’s is capable, then there’s no need to seek external support," Zhang Li said decisively. "Completely manageable."

"Wei Xudong made such a big fuss here in Harbor City, Dad, don’t tell me you haven’t heard any rumors."

"At that time, you were thinking that the more people who cooperated with Wei Xudong, the more connections you could cultivate."

The scale of Wei’s development this time is much stronger than in the original owner’s time, probably due to Wei Xudong’s futures trading in Harbor City, making a lot of people wealthy.

"Wei Xudong knows a lot of people, enjoys the best food, the best products, the best entertainment, and is always addressed as President Wei or Young Master Wei."

"Dad, you’ve also made a lot of connections and reaped many benefits."

"Including Mom, who got promoted from associate professor to full professor, it’s also somewhat related."

"Each one of you has gotten benefits, and now that Wei Xudong is in trouble, you don’t want to take responsibility or make sacrifices, and now you are relying on me?"

"Let’s talk business, not emotions. Emotions, this kind of thing, doesn’t exist between us." Zhang Li sat up straight, "I’m already doing well not kicking you while you’re down."

Wei Yan sighed helplessly, "Alright, you deal with the company matter."

"Alright, once the company is set up, we can sign the contract and at the same time change all property rights documentation."

Wei Yan nodded helplessly, "Deal, let’s go."

Wei Yan prepared to leave, dispirited, and at the door, he asked, "You’re about to graduate from college, what’s your plan?"

"I plan to continue my studies." As for where to study, she had no intention of sharing her plans with Wei Yan.

Continue studying? It was already April, and the university acceptance letters should have come, yet she showed no indication of wanting to disclose her intentions. "Will you stay in Harbor City?"

Zhang Li shook her head. Although where she would go for her postgraduate studies was no secret at Harbor City University, Wei Yan could learn about her whereabouts with a little investigation.

But she would never say it aloud, letting Wei Yan know her attitude.

Xue Yan didn’t want to stay here, feeling very uncomfortable, as Zhang Li’s gaze always seemed to carry a teasing quality.

After seeing off Wei Yan and his wife, Zhang Li swiftly set up an investment company.

Yes, an investment company, even if there were properties, she placed them under the investment company’s name, including future investment shares and such, all under the investment company.

She also decided that when the time came, all the company shares would go to a private fund, locked in completely, absolutely not giving anyone the chance to buy in.

No matter how large the company was, it would definitely not take on outside investment.

Xue Yan had been downcast all the way, wanting to comment on how cold-hearted Zhang Li was, but thinking of some of Wei Xudong’s maneuvers made her feel very uncomfortable.

Wei Yan wasn’t happy either, this time truly inflicted with a great blow to his vitality. Even if he had paid the compensation, he had still made enemies, and who knows how they might fight back against them in the future.

"By the way, have you seen Wei Wei?" Zhang Li said that Wei Xudong had bought Wei Wei lots of branded items, describing it as practically sweeping the goods.

Wei Xudong really had given a lot for her, but during their visit, they hadn’t seen Wei Wei.

To be precise, since Wei Xudong’s troubles, they hadn’t seen Wei Wei. "She should be here in Harbor City to comfort her son," they mused.

"The son had been smooth-sailing before, and suddenly experiencing such an incident, the child hasn’t been through anything like this."

Even though they were very unhappy with some of Wei Xudong’s actions, no matter how they felt, that was still their child.

"With a daughter-in-law like this, the Wei Family really can’t afford her." Wei Yan thought about the relationship between Wei Xudong and Zhang Li, and it’s truly bad.

"They both live in Harbor City, both studied at Harbor City University, they’ve definitely crossed paths, but has Wei Xudong ever taken care of Zhang Li?"

"He would rather take strangers out to dine, rather give strangers money. Has he ever had a place for his sister Zhang Li in his heart or eyes?"

"We acknowledged Zhang Li, but she didn’t change her surname, nor did she ever participate in family gatherings."

Things that Wei Yan didn’t care about before, or didn’t want to deal with even upon knowing, started popping up, "The relatives all know we found our biological daughter."

"But the relatives have never seen Xiao Li."

"Before we talk about how indifferent Xiao Li is, we were very cold to her," Wei Yan recalled some of their actions and let out a small sigh.

Xue Yan wanted to argue otherwise, but every time they expressed the wish for Zhang Li to return, Wei Xudong totally disagreed.

"It’s okay to give her the land, better than us losing it, plus the liquidity tied up is not enough, having to sacrifice other assets."

Seeing that she was unwilling to lend a hand, Wei Yan was angry, feeling it was too cold-blooded.

But once he calmed down a bit, his rationality returned to its proper place, "The girl’s achievements, after all, the Wei Family missed out."

Although they didn’t know just how much money she had made, judging by her demeanor, she definitely could pay such a large sum.

Both had once made tens of millions, even billions; one earned money through solid efforts, while the other got rich quickly using financial maneuvers, and once there was an issue, it was indeed too late for remedies.

After the departure of Wei Yan and his wife, Wei Xudong was variously uneasy, worried about what to do if Zhang Li wouldn’t help.

Only now did he realize, even though they were both in Harbor City, he, as a brother, truly hadn’t taken care of Zhang Li at all.

Not to mention giving her designer luxury goods, he hadn’t even invited her to a meal, and even blocked her attempts to return.

This led to many people being completely unaware of her existence. Not that they didn’t know, but in fact, everyone knew he disliked Zhang Li.

Now that he was in trouble, who knew how happy the other side might be, how could they be willing to help.
