Chapter 702: Chapter 703 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 35_1

Zhang Li didn’t know if Wei Yan was truly being ruthless with Wei Xudong this time, saying he would ignore him and that was final.

All she knew was that Wei Xudong had quieted down, occasionally seen alone on campus, his dejection beyond words.

When Yang Xue saw Wei Xudong by himself, she was truly dumbfounded, "Is that really Wei Xudong?"

"Yeah, can you believe it?" See, no one can believe that this could be the Wei Xudong who always called friends around him.

Yang Xue kept nodding, "Yeah, I really can’t believe it."

Just then, Wei Xudong looked up at them and started walking towards them.

Yang Xue hadn’t expected Wei Xudong to actually come over, she was truly astounded, tightly gripping Zhang Li’s arm.

"He won’t do anything to us, right?" Yang Xue was genuinely worried that Wei Xudong might lash out at them.

Gently patting Yang Xue’s hand, she raised her voice slightly, "Don’t worry, he won’t."

"You have to believe, he’s someone who is really afraid of dying," Zhang Li said, looking up at Wei Xudong.

Wei Xudong wanted to drop some harsh words, or to intimidate her a little.

But upon hearing what she said, afraid of dying? Who isn’t afraid of dying? Actually, death might even be a release. The worst part is his current state, being ridiculed and looked down upon by others.

"You’re going to study abroad for your postgraduate degree, congratulations." Wei Xudong stared at Zhang Li for a while, and only then did he realize that Zhang Li was actually quite a pretty girl.

But now, he had no right to call her a girl, as she conveniently pulled out tens of millions, truly without any pressure.

Just to congratulate her? Zhang Li paused for a moment, although she didn’t understand what he was up to, she wouldn’t let her guard down no matter what.

"Congratulations on your upcoming postgraduate graduation," she still managed to say the polite words.

Yes, postgraduate graduation, Wei Xudong couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, "My family is in trouble, did you know?"

"Do you know about your huge loss of several thousands, soon to become a billion?" Zhang Li insisted on bringing up the topic Wei Xudong didn’t want to hear.

Whether he was happy or not, it didn’t concern her.

Wei Xudong took a deep breath, telling himself not to get angry, "My dad is no longer the company president."

"He’s just a member of the board now, with no real power," Wei Xudong said irritably.

Zhang Li responded with an "Oh," "Why are you telling me this? I don’t care about these things."

"But your dad was doing well, why did he stop being the president?" Zhang Li asked out of curiosity.

Wei Xudong, who had been cursing others, clammed up at Zhang Li’s question.

What could he say? Was it any of his concern?

"Judging by your reaction, it seems your dad’s resignation as president has something to do with you."

Zhang Li clicked her tongue a few times, "They say ’raise sons for your old age,’ but raising a son like you..."

"This all has to do with you, why complain about the other shareholders being inhumane."

"Everyone knows your dad wanted you to take over the company. If I were a shareholder, I wouldn’t want to see you in charge either."

"All about glory, the money you earned chasing women, a blockhead with water in your brain. It might be forgivable to squander your own parents’ funds, but to think you could squander mine too?"

Give someone face? That was out of the question, "Wei Xudong, your parents might indulge you, but who else will outside your home?"

"By the way, how are things between you and Wei Wei?"

"Now that you’re down and out, shouldn’t your girlfriend be by your side?"

"She, she went to school," said Wei Xudong, quite unnaturally.

"Went to school, huh." Zhang Li drew out her words, "That’s good, otherwise I’d really worry. If she knew you were down and out, no longer Young Master Wei, she might just switch to a new meal ticket."

"You..." Wei Xudong really regretted coming to find Zhang Li, "Do you know your mouth is really foul."

"Still better than some people who have water in their brains."

"For the sake of a woman, spent tens of millions of dollars, and destroyed his own future."

"Right, not just his own future, he also dragged his parents down with him, the reputation of the Wei Family built up over generations."

Zhang Li sighed softly, "You really have ruined it all, you disgraceful descendant."

"I heard Old Master Wei and the rest really liked you, thinking you could shoulder the responsibilities of the Wei Family."

"If they knew, their well-regarded grandson had done such a thing, they’d be restless in the afterlife too."

Isn’t she said to have a venomous tongue? Then, let him see how much more venomous it could be.

Staring at Wei Xudong, "I’m really curious, you’ve already brought the Wei Family to ruins like this."

"Do you ever dream of your ancestors of the Wei Family?"

"Do you dream of Old Master Wei and others who were so kind to you?"

"Have you thought about how you’re going to explain yourself during the New Year’s ancestral worship?"

"Dad finally made a name for Wei’s company, expanded it, and then, sigh."

"It’s really better to have reared char siu than a son like this." Zhang Li held back the urge to hit Wei Xudong.

Looking at the young man, it seems his health really isn’t too good; if she were to give him just a light pat and he happened to collapse, then she’d really be at a loss.

Better than a piece of char siu? Take a deep breath, can’t get angry, Wei Xudong often heard people say that it’s better to have a piece of char siu than a son.

But he didn’t think he was a failure as a son; in fact, he felt he did pretty well, yet had not expected Zhang Li to think this way.

"Nonsense, I’m so much better than char siu." Wei Xudong insisted over and over that he was definitely better than char siu.

Listening to Wei Xudong ceaselessly asserting he was better than char siu, Zhang Li found it really amusing, but she didn’t voice her opposition.

Yang Xue couldn’t hold back after listening for a while, "Why must you compare yourself to char siu?"

"If you really want to compare, I truly think char siu is better than you, at least it can fill your stomach."

"As for you..." Yang Xue kept shaking her head, "you’re a serious pitfall."

"When you were successful and proud, you didn’t think of your parents, only of buying things for your girlfriend, treating her to fine food and drinks, traveling everywhere."

"What did you buy for your parents?"

"Now that you’ve fallen on hard times, that you’re down on your luck, you think of your parents, expecting them to help you pay off your debts."

Yang Xue said, "I wouldn’t want a child like that; otherwise, I’d really be angered to death."

Zhang Li listened quietly, not pulling Yang Xue away; she was no fool. Wei Xudong came to her precisely to imply that despite her capability to lend a hand, she simply chose not to, otherwise things wouldn’t have come to this point.

"You, you..." Wei Xudong was so infuriated by Yang Xue’s blunt words, he kept trying to defend himself.

"Everything you said is the absolute truth." Zhang Li glanced at her watch; it was getting late, and her stomach was already protesting loudly.

"Let’s go, time to eat." Zhang Li suggested it was time for dinner.

As they were leaving, Zhang Li thought he should know something, "By the way, your girlfriend should be your ex-girlfriend now."

"She’s off with your buddy having a blast in Europe."

"They’re probably having a great time over there in Europe right now."

"No need to thank me. Though you’ve never seen me as a sister, you are after all my brother."

Zhang Li couldn’t help but tell the truth, staring at his head for quite a while, "It’s quite green."

Yang Xue couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Wei Xudong hadn’t expected Wei Wei to be in Harbor City, and moreover, with one of his former friends; his face turned extremely unsightly.
