After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 387: The True Heir to a Wealthy Conglomerate!

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The True Heir to a Wealthy Conglomerate!

The dangerous thought of pulling Shi Yaoguang to continue filming didn’t linger in Director Wang’s mind for long.

Soon, he dared not think about it.

Filming?

Does Miss Shi need that?

No.

She doesn’t need it.

The poor little thing abandoned by the Shi Family?

No!

The true heir of a wealthy consortium!

A rich wife who can only wash her face with tears after marrying a sickly husband?

Whether she washes her face with money or not, he didn’t know, but he heard that the rumored sickly husband didn’t seem very reliable.

One who is seriously ill can still mix with the film crew as a little assistant, accompanying his wife.

Wang Zhehai’s impression of Quan Jinbei still lingered on the image of a family head who spared no effort and assumed a pseudonym for love.

Back then, Quan Jinbei was known for his excellent physical condition.

There were no obvious signs of illness in him.

Of course, Quan Jinbei’s physical condition wasn’t the point.

The point was...

The Wei Family, a powerful consortium from the City of Freedom, had issued a global announcement!

The content of the announcement was simple.

The heir to the Wei Family had been confirmed, and it was not the person everyone suspected, Wei Qingtian’s adopted son Wei Jinyan, but his hitherto unknown granddaughter.

Before the Wei Family officially announced this news, most people didn’t even know of the existence of such a granddaughter.

Years ago, an accident happened to the Wei Family, almost leading to their downfall.

Certain knowledgeable people naturally heard of this and knew that it was inextricably linked to his daughter.

It was after that incident that Wei Qingtian broke off ties with his prodigal daughter.

Years later, when the Wei Family declared the choice of heir, it wasn’t the adopted son who had been with them for many years, but a granddaughter they’d never met, causing confusion among many.

Some even started conspiracy theories, suspecting that Wei Qingtian was under some kind of spell.

Right after the Wei Family’s announcement, Wei Jinyan’s phone blew up with calls.

"Big Young Master Wei, wasn’t your old man kidnapped, per chance?"

"Jinyan, we’re brothers, if there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate."

"Big Young Master, what’s going on with the Wei Family heir? You haven’t even relinquished power yet, and the Wei Family is already ditching you? I’ve told you before, there’s no need to stick with the Wei Family, you’ve already done enough for them over the years..."

As Wei Jinyan received these concerns, his feelings were quite complex.

The fact was, the announcement of the Wei Family’s heir wasn’t made by Wei Qingtian, but by him personally.

Those truly close to him knew that he didn’t care about the power and influence of the Wei Family.

What he really wanted was a life of leisure and freedom.

Perhaps, some would say that his wish for a leisurely life was merely an excuse for his incompetence.

But that wasn’t true.

He genuinely yearned for that kind of life and wasn’t forced into it.

After contemplating momentarily, he ultimately didn’t explain his thoughts to everyone.

Let the misunderstanding be, "Paths that do not cross, goals that do not align."

After Wei Jinyan stopped clarifying, many people felt that the Wei Family was firmly in his grasp.

In their dealings with him, they treated him as the future head of the Wei Family.

But now, an announcement had shattered many people’s plans.

During this time, the Wei Family’s consortium was undergoing significant restructuring.

Those with discerning eyes could see that the Wei Family was developing in a direction beyond their reach.

Just a hint of information leaked from the Wei Family was enough to shock them.

Many were also thinking they had to leverage their good relationship with Wei Jinyan to get to the bottom of what was really going on.

But then...

Before I could learn what I wanted to know, the Wei Family encountered their own troubles first.

The heir to a consortium is of utmost importance.

If the right heir is chosen, the future development of the consortium is bound to be limitless.

Otherwise, it’s a deep abyss.

Incurable.

If the Wei Family were to choose Wei Jinyan as their heir, many would have high hopes for him because of what he had achieved over the years.

It would not be a bad choice to let him be the heir.

But then, out of nowhere, came this Cheng Yaojin.

The old patriarch’s granddaughter from outside?

So what!

Not to mention an outsider granddaughter; the old patriarch wouldn’t hesitate to drive out even his own dear daughter from the family.

Let alone someone with whom he hardly shared any affection.

Many people were frustrated with Wei Jinyan, wishing he could have met their expectations better.

But Wei Jinyan himself didn’t share this sentiment.

After receiving the phone call, he explained everything one by one.

He could have refrained from explaining, but failing to do so might lead others to overthink.

It wouldn’t matter much to him if they misunderstood, but if it...

affected Shi Yaoguang, that would be a grave sin.

Therefore, after receiving the call, Wei Jinyan took each one seriously and provided thorough explanations.

To no avail, the other party simply didn’t believe what he said.

Thinking normally, who would want to be a poor nobody if they could inherit a consortium?

Even though the money he had saved over the years would be enough for several generations of an ordinary person to spend.

There’s also the saying, money can never be too much.

The majority of those who heard Wei Jinyan’s explanation felt that he wasn’t as willing as he appeared on the surface.

Some even thought that Wei Jinyan was acting this way perhaps just to let Wei Qingtian lower his guard around him.

And when the right moment came, he would take over the Wei Family in one fell swoop.

After all, how could he easily give up a family business into which he had put so many years of effort?

...

Wei Jinyan ended up answering many phone calls, and one could say that he was utterly exhausted.

When Wei Qingtian saw him like this, he even teased him.

"Looking at you, one who doesn’t know would think you’ve arranged a rendezvous with a bevy of beauties," he said.

When Wei Jinyan first heard this, he didn’t understand what the old man meant.

After pondering carefully, he finally realized he was being ribbed.

Right away, he felt helpless, "Father, I’m still a child."

Wei Qingtian glared with his tiger-eyes, "Did I say you were not a child?"

As he spoke, he sighed, "How old are you now? Other fathers are already grandfathers, and look at me—I’m still raising a baby."

"Parson worries every day that his son is playing too hard outside, fearing he’ll come back diseased."

"But you, you don’t even think about sharing intimacy with a few women, let alone appreciate a real beauty if I served one to you!"

Wei Jinyan met his father’s disdainful eyes and felt helpless in his heart.

It must be said that no matter when, the push for marriage is an unavoidable destiny for all children.

It was only because the Wei Family didn’t need a marital alliance that his own lifetime matters had not been settled long ago.

Fearing his father would impulsively meddle with his private life, Wei Jinyan quickly diverted the conversation.

"Father, let’s not talk about me, we need to discuss Yaoguang’s issue," he said.

Reminded in this way by Wei Jinyan, Wei Qingtian naturally refocused his attention.

Though still somewhat resentful, he said, "Yaoguang has no issues, it’s your—"

Wei Qingtian hadn’t finished his sentence when Wei Jinyan interrupted him, "Father, don’t you think that announcing Yaoguang as the heir so hastily will make her enemies?"
