Wei Yan looked at the woman thrashing about in front of him, feeling she was so unfamiliar.
In his heart, Xue Yan was an elegant female, always speaking very gently.
He had not expected that when her interests weren’t touched, she was just like many women, truly like a madwoman.
Wei Yan looked at her with disgust, "Do you have nothing in your eyes but your son?"
"Have you forgotten that you have a daughter?"
"A smart daughter," although he did not know if she was capable, at least someone who could get into Harbor City University on her own merit wouldn’t be too bad.
What? Let the daughter take over? A daughter he had never met? "Are you sure she is our daughter?"
If it were not for Wang Lina informing him of this matter, just based on Wei Yan’s attitude, she would have really thought it was Wei Yan’s illegitimate child.
"This is her information." Wei Yan knew that Xue Yan actually didn’t believe that Zhang Li was their daughter.
But it didn’t matter; he could show the information to her.
Xue Yan hadn’t expected that something she only found out about yesterday, Wei Yan had already obtained the other party’s information today.
Taking the information and just opening it, she almost exclaimed because the girl really looked a lot like Wei Yan.
"Doesn’t she look a lot like me?" Xue Yan had not exclaim aloud, but Wei Yan saw her shocked expression.
"Also, take a look at her parents’ names," Wei Yan urged her to continue reading.
Looking at Zhang Li’s parents’ names, Xue Yan understood why Wei Yan believed the other person was his daughter.
"That, that, both her parents are deceased, is she, she living alone?"
"Yes, living alone, and without any tutors, she managed to get into Harbor City University on her own merit."
"Not only did she get into Harbor City University on her own, but her deskmate she studied with also got into Harbor City University."
Wei Yan had not expected that Zhang Li could actually influence her deskmate to also get into Harbor City University. What did it mean? It meant that not only was she good at studying, but she could also push others to be studious and ambitious.
"She studies applied mathematics?" Xue Yan hadn’t expected the child to study applied mathematics and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"A person who is good at math, you can know how smart she is."
"I have asked, and it is not that Harbor City University doesn’t allow changing majors. I’ll have her switch to management when the time comes."
Wei Yan had already inquired from old friends in Harbor City. He did not reveal the truth, but also couldn’t say too much.
Xue Yan understood that regardless of whether Wei Xudong was obedient, they would not make him believe he would definitely take over the business.
"Have you asked that girl?" Xue Yan felt that Zhang Li might not agree.
"Ask her?" Wei Yan hadn’t even contacted her, "There’s no need to ask her. Even if she doesn’t inherit the family business, leaving some shares would be enough for her to live on."
Wei Yan actually still hoped that Wei Xudong would strive hard and not be overwhelmed by Zhang Li.
If Wei Xudong became successful, Zhang Li would be his whetstone; in the end, leaving her some shares would suffice. A daughter who is married off needn’t expect much from her parents’ house.
If Wei Xudong really amounted to nothing, then they could only let Zhang Li step in, and Wei Xudong would have to live off the dividends from his shares.
Just let Zhang Li work hard to make money, so Wei Xudong’s family could live a comfortable life.
Wei Yan had also thought it through; he would retire eventually and then focus on cultivating his grandson.
The son had been a disappointment, but the grandson could not be wasted. When the grandson grew up, he would have Zhang Li step aside.
Xue Yan, listening to Wei Yan’s plan, felt it was a good idea, "That’s pretty good, but you can’t just give up on your son like that."
"Moreover, you know that girl didn’t grow up by our side and our relationship with her is just average, there’s no real affection."
"When the time comes, will she be willing to step aside?" Once one tastes the benefits of being in charge, how could they be willing to give that up?
Wei Yan had certainly considered this, "It’s not up to her whether she steps aside or not."
"The shares are in my hands." Shares were not to be given, only positions.
That’s clever, Xue Yan realized upon hearing this, "You’re essentially having that girl work for the family."
"Yes, I hope that if possible, my son can be accomplished. But if he only has eyes for Wei Wei, there’s nothing I can do."
"She really excels at eating, drinking, and playing, and then she’s not smart either, just like her parents."
Wei Yan was aware of the situation in Wei Wei’s birth family, especially her mother’s circumstances, "Her mom is someone who only cares about her own family."
"To support her own family, she hasn’t hesitated to take advantage of her in-laws."
"Ever since they found out Wei Wei was their biological daughter, they really haven’t stopped seeking her out."
"The child who was taken home by mistake, once they knew she wasn’t theirs, they packed their bags and left just like that."
"If that couple hadn’t been unkind to her, how could they have left so abruptly?"
Wei Yan felt a headache coming on whenever he thought about how that couple conducted themselves, "I was thinking, if Wei Wei married someone else, no matter how much her biological parents made a fuss..."
"It would be none of our business, but if she were to marry Wei Xudong..." Wei Yan took a deep breath.
"Would you be willing to be kin to them?" Wei Yan hadn’t met them often, but with the few times he had, he felt nothing but distaste.
Remembering what that couple had said, Xue Yan inhaled sharply, "I’ll try to reason with my son properly."
"Don’t try to persuade him; otherwise, they’ll hold a grudge against us."
"He’s already a university student and an adult; he should be responsible for his own actions."
"Even if he insists on getting married, don’t expect us to arrange the wedding for him." Wei Yan kept reminding himself.
Wei Yan looked up at Xue Yan, "You know your son’s thoughts; you know what to do."
Xue Yan nodded continuously, "I know, I know. Rest assured, I absolutely won’t take their side."
"Remember that, or it doesn’t matter if you don’t, anyway, Wei Xudong has no right of inheritance." Wei Yan wanted Xue Yan to convey his stance to the young couple.
Why was it always her? Xue Yan really felt helpless, not understanding why such matters always fell to her.
But there was no choice; if she didn’t intervene, Wei Yan wouldn’t either.
Xue Yan could only take a deep breath and go to Wei Xudong’s room to be the bad guy.
But no matter how she knocked, no one answered the door, which infuriated her to no end.
She was here worrying over this son of hers, and the brat was actually out having fun.
Xue Yan truly regretted, wondering how she could’ve ever thought that keeping Wei Wei would be of any help to the family.
And now, Wei Wei repaid them in such a manner; the thought of the effort she’d put into this matter made Xue Yan want to spit blood.
The more Xue Yan thought about it, the angrier she got, resolutely deciding that no matter how much Wei Wei cried, she would have her move back home.
This girl couldn’t stay in the house any longer; otherwise, their own family would truly face a disaster.
With that girl in the middle, the relationship between Wei Xudong and Wei Yan would not improve.
