Chapter 458: Preventing Xu An from Choosing a Successor
Wei Zhu'er's words made sense. Madam Wei was silent for a moment and said, "The truth will come out sooner or later. Xu An will find out about this sooner or later. Maybe he already knows it now."
Wei Changjiang's heart skipped a beat. "How is that possible?"
Mrs. Wei: "How is it impossible? The assistant came back and told me that Xu An only wore one piece of jewelry today. This jewelry was not designed by her herself, but is from the same brand as ours. Either she already knew that Yan Nuo's father was her savior, and she wore the ring on such a grand occasion to make up for the years of debt. Or, she has her eyes on the designer of that brand. I suspect Xu An has already decided on the successor."
Wei Zhuer's mind instantly flashed to Yan Nuo's image. She refused to accept this outcome. "No, if she becomes Xu An's heir, our Wei Jewelry will be trampled underfoot! Mom and Dad, you two should think of a solution!"
"What else can I do? Fu Shangbei is behind the SUMING brand." Wei Changjiang was terrified. The Wei family had risen because of him, but would it also fall because of him? Just thinking about such an outcome made him breathless. He couldn't help but scratch at his hair, but the pain of his hair pulling on his scalp couldn't ease his anxiety at all.
"Mom, please help Dad." Wei Zhuer asked her mother for help.
Mrs. Wei asked her daughter to be quiet and looked at her husband. "Xu An's actions have completely alienated her from the Wei Group. Husband, you don't need to pin your hopes on her anymore. She will definitely not choose a designer from our group as her apprentice. In order to ensure the best interests of the group, Xu An can only retire early and cannot choose a successor."
Wei Changjiang shook his head. "How could she not be chosen? She's only in her sixties."
If an elderly person in his sixties has high aspirations, he can still find a job. How could Xu An not be able to choose an heir?
Mrs. Wei looked at her husband calmly, "What if she has Alzheimer's?"
Wei Changjiang subconsciously said, "I had someone steal Xu An's medical examination report. She is currently in good health and has no risk of Alzheimer's disease."
Wei Zhuer was so disappointed that she couldn't make up her mind. "Dad, even if she doesn't have it, why don't we let her have it?"
Seeing his daughter say such words so easily, Wei Changjiang was shocked, "Zhu'er, you can't do this. If you do it, the Wei family will really be finished. I don't agree."
"If you don't agree, then you can just watch Wei's Jewelry decline. Husband, if Wei's Jewelry declines, have you ever thought about what those relatives of the Wei family will think of you?" Wei Changjiang cared most about other people's opinions, and Mrs. Wei's words hit the mark.
There's a certain type of person who, having grown up under the oppressive upbringing of their parents and relatives, naturally takes their evaluations as their guiding principle. Wei Changjiang's elegance and integrity stem from his parents' hopes for him to be the kind of heir who would be refined and graceful in public, strategic in his career, and loving and nurturing at home.
He had no chance of having a son, and his relatives said a lot of bad things about him. It was not until the Wei family became successful that those people began to fawn over him in order to get a share of the profits, and the gossip disappeared. Wei Changjiang no longer wanted to hear his relatives say that he could not have a son.
He looked at his wife with a weary expression, "What are you going to do? As you said, things that break the law can't be hidden. This will drag the Wei family into a pit of fire. Then, we won't be able to live a good life anymore. Madam, we are not gods. We can't control everything."
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I started making preparations the day you confessed the truth to me." Wei Changjiang was deeply moved by Mrs. Wei's words. He didn't expect that he had been trembling with fear for so many years, fearing that he would fall from the peak into the abyss, but his wife had actually made secret plans a long time ago. A sense of security filled the old man's heart at this moment.
Facing the gazes of the father and daughter, Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "I'll contact someone. Let's meet with him. As long as we meet his needs, he will help us."
"Is this Xu An's attending physician?" Wei Changjiang began to get anxious again because he didn't believe that doctors could solve everything.
"No, it's someone who has an inseparable relationship with Xu An." Mrs. Wei said.
Government residential area.
Xu An suddenly sneezed.
Xu Ning's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, go to your grandmother's room and get her a coat. She's so grown up, and she doesn't know how to put on clothes when she's cold."
Xu An felt very wronged and pointed at the wall. "I think the air conditioner is turned up too high. Sister. Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, come down quickly. No need to take your coat. Just turn up the air conditioner."
"Okay." Xiao Chen adjusted the air conditioner to 27 degrees.
"It's already 26 degrees Celsius, and you sneeze in the constant temperature. I really don't believe you. If you get sick, who will take care of me with Xiao Chen?" Xu Ning said confidently, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, listen to me. Go get her a coat and put it on."
Xu An: There is a kind of coldness, which is called "I think you are cold."
Not wanting to talk too much, Xu An put on her coat obediently. The two sisters had dinner together and chatted about family matters.
At noon the next day, some people couldn't wait to go to Xu An's design studio to submit their works. Xu An's assistant received the manuscripts, registered them, and sent them to the office community for Xu An to review.
Xu Ning took the opportunity to admire it with his sister. After seeing it, he was speechless. "Isn't this a shoddy use of a design that was already made long ago? What does this have to do with the river?"
Xu An laughed, "This person must be insecure about himself, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he submitted his work to try his luck."
Xu Ning snorted coldly: "If my student is so careless, I won't let him graduate and will make him repeat the grade."
Xu An laughed out loud.
Two days later in the morning, a luxury car drove into the government residential complex and stopped outside Professor Xu Ning's house. The visitor got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
Xiao Chen came to open the door, looked at the strange middle-aged man outside, and asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Xu An's son." The man said, raising his hand to adjust his glasses, a trace of elusive brilliance flashing across his black eyes.
"Grandma An's son?" Xiao Chen knew that Grandma An had two sons and a daughter, but he had never seen them. Now that they were in front of him, Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then invited the man into the house.
Xiao Chen hurried to the balcony of the study to report to Xu An: "Grandma Ning, your son is here and is in the living room."
Xu An and Xu Ning's expressions changed drastically. Xu An was silent, while Xu Ning's face was filled with anger. "Get rid of him."
Unfortunately, the man had already reached the door of the study and pushed it open without saying hello. "Mom, Auntie, long time no see. I've missed you all these years."
Xu Ning laughed in anger, "Where is your mother here? There's only the poor old lady you abandoned because she didn't give you money to marry that scheming woman, Zheng Jian!"
