Chapter 714: Chapter 715 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 47_1

Wei Xudong rolled his eyes without any courtesy, "How could it not be good? She’s not exactly short of money."

As a billionaire himself, he still depended on dividends from the company and some rental income to get by, and his life wasn’t all that comfortable.

It was different for Zhang Li, who had a diverse source of income and never had to worry about being short of money to spend.

"Dad, I just don’t understand." Wei Xin felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought that such a wealthy woman was his aunt.

"Why did you have a falling out with my aunt in the first place?"

"If you hadn’t had a falling out with her, and since she doesn’t have children, being her nephew, all her wealth would’ve been mine." The thought of such a large sum of money flying by right in front of him made Wei Xin feel extremely upset.

What made him even sadder was the fact that even though Zhang Li had no descendants, there was a child from a family friend whom she had watched grow up. Even a fool knew who would get the assets.

Thinking about it made Wei Xin angry, "If I had stayed close to my aunt, she would definitely have supported us being together."

Hearing Wei Xin’s various complaints, Wei Xudong took a long sigh. This son of his was truly beyond hope.

"Do whatever you want. I’m not going to bother with you anymore." His son was useless, if he didn’t suffer a few hard knocks, he would never understand the harshness of reality.

Wei Xin was ecstatic and just about to say thank you, "When I insisted on pursuing true love back then, grandpa did agree, but the financial support was cut off."

"From today onwards, you can no longer use my bank card, which I am going to freeze."

"I’ll give you a fixed amount of money each month. Move out." Isn’t he the one who wanted to be with his true love?

Now he was going to enable that, so that he would have no grounds for complaints in the future. As for fostering growth, that would be focused on his daughter.

Zhang Li could give up the Wei Family assets, but would her daughter? Even if the daughter’s talents were not as formidable as Zhang Li’s, she was certainly better than Wei Xin.

Wei Xudong knew that just keeping what he had was useless. In recent years, Wei’s company had developed well and was very popular with investors, who frequently made investment injections.

The Wei Family was no longer the largest shareholder of Wei’s, with their shareholding already fallen to 25%, and there was still a possibility of it dropping further.

If he didn’t make an effort and things continued like this, he was truly worried that one day the Wei Family’s stake in Wei’s would not even rank within the top five shareholders.

In his lifetime, Wei Xudong could say that he had never satisfied Wei Yan; he hoped that while he was still alive, he could maintain the Wei Family’s status within Wei’s and that one day, someone would lead the Wei Family to glory.

If Zhang Li knew what Wei Xudong was thinking, she would certainly give him a thumbs up for having more mettle than Wei Yan.

Did Wei Yan not realize that Wei Xudong was not suitable for great responsibilities, lacking the ability to lead Wei’s to glory or even to maintain what had been achieved?

He knew, he knew it all. That’s why in his later years, he constantly pinned his hopes on Zhang Li, not willing to let Wei’s fall into the hands of others by even the slightest chance.

Whether Wei’s could achieve glory, Zhang Li didn’t know. What she could be sure of was that it would be at least better than Wei Xin.

Zhang Li only paid a little attention to the Wei Family, like knowing the day when Wei’s eventually changed its name, after all, it was no longer among the top five shareholders.

It wasn’t that Wei Xudong’s daughter wasn’t working hard, but rather a major financial tycoon who directly acquired Wei’s, making it a subsidiary of their company.

The shares in Wei Xudong’s hands were also converted into shares of Wei’s Parent Company, and even though Wei Xin jumped around in all sorts of ways, expressing his desire to take cash and start his own business, he never accepted this suggestion.

Wei Xudong had completely lost hope in this so-called eldest son of his.

Before he died, he intended to turn his assets into a foundation in which the management rights would be held by his daughter’s line, while the children of Wei Xin’s line would only have the right to dividends.

After receiving news of Wei Xudong’s death, Zhang Li instructed Yang Xue’s eldest son to send over a basket of flowers to show that she was aware of the event.

The Wei Family members were not at all surprised by Zhang Li sending a basket of flowers; they had known since childhood about the relationship between Zhang Li’s family and their own, as well as the grudges and debts of gratitude between the two families.

When they notified Zhang Li about the event, they hadn’t expected her to attend in person. When Wei Yan and his wife, her parents, had passed away, she hadn’t been present either.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xudong received the same treatment, which surprised them, but they also knew that this was Zhang Li’s final dealings with the Wei Family.

This was partly because of her old age, not knowing when she would pass away, but also because she had completely cut off all ties with the third generation of the Wei Family.

Many people unaware of this history, upon seeing Zhang Li’s contribution of a flower basket, didn’t think much of it and didn’t make the connection between the two.

As for those who remembered the past, the sight of Zhang Li’s flower basket caused a lot of shaking heads and sighs.

At the same time, they also felt various forms of relief; if only Wei Yan had chosen Zhang Li as the heir to Wei’s, the current situation would have been different.

Wei’s would not have been swallowed up by other companies, but instead would have been the one to take over others.

Through their whispers, everyone learned that the Wei Family, thought to have fallen into decline, had once had the opportunity to turn things around successfully, had they not chosen the wrong heir.

The Wei Family members were prepared for the pointing and whispering of others, choosing to act as if they heard nothing.

They had prepared for both outcomes the moment they informed Zhang Li.

Upon opening her eyes again, she found herself back in the familiar old place, staring at the purely white space. Zhang Li, no, she should be called Zhang Yu now, "Why can’t the scenery change once in a while?"

After looking at the white scenery too much, it felt very monotonous.

When Zhang Yu said this, she didn’t expect the System to respond at all.

At that moment, the System showed up: You can change the scenery.

Suddenly, many options appeared before Zhang Yu for her to choose from, leaving her agape with astonishment.

"Why didn’t you say so before?" Zhang Yu was quite unhappy.

The System’s reply was straightforward: You didn’t ask, and changing the interface requires money. The next time you enter, it will be white again, as I assume you don’t need it.

The System felt wronged too—if possible, it certainly wished Zhang Yu would spend the money, as it could earn a commission as a System.

But the key issue was that Zhang Yu would leave as soon as she’d completed a task and rested a bit, showing no sign of lingering longer.

Zhang Yu was just about to say, if I haven’t asked, isn’t it the duty of a competent System to bring it up proactively?

Upon hearing that changing the interface requires money, well, Zhang Yu decided to hold her tongue. While changing the scenery is nice and can lift one’s spirits,

it’s not worth it considering the expense, especially for someone about to leave for a momentary view.

When Zhang Yu didn’t respond, the System knew it had guessed correctly and sighed helplessly: Why can’t you spend a little money?

Zhang Yu not spending money meant that the System couldn’t earn any; it wasn’t really in a hurry, as long as Zhang Yu completed tasks.

But now a new leader had come in, and had actually set business targets for the System, which it found very tiring.

As for the System’s complaints, Zhang Yu didn’t care at all, knowing that showing any leniency would only embolden it in the future.
