Chapter 403 Elder Wei: If Necessary, I Can Kneel

A luxurious black car was parked downstairs in the neighborhood.

With the help of the old butler, Elder Wei trembled as he got out of the car, looking up at the building in front of him.

"This must be the place. The last time I came here was the year Dazong got married. It’s been so many years in the blink of an eye."

"I didn’t expect that the second time I’d come would be to plead with my granddaughter."

Elder Wei said, his tone filled with a bit of desolation.

The old butler said, "Elder, with your status, how can you come to plead with a junior? No matter what, the Third Miss is your junior. She should come to see you."

Elder Wei waved his hand, "Right now, rescuing the Company is urgent, none of that matters. Besides, I truly hurt the child’s feelings today. My visit to apologize shows my sincerity. No matter what, I must bring her back this time."

Saying this, the two had already entered the building and arrived at the elevator, ready to take it upstairs.

Wei Qingxue’s house is on the sixth floor.

The old butler pressed the elevator button but found it unresponsive. He pressed again several times, but still, the elevator didn’t react.

The security guard from the property walked over and said, "Sorry, the elevator is broken. It’ll be repaired tomorrow. You can use the stairs."

What?

Elder Wei, with his old bones, how could he climb up to the sixth floor? It would be the death of him!

The old butler said, "Elder, let me call the Third Miss and ask her to come down."

Elder Wei thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, I must climb up myself. This will show my sincerity. Qingxue is a kind-hearted child. Doing this will surely move her."

Elder Wei finally decided to climb up to the sixth floor.

In neighborhoods like this, the property usually relies on elevators, and stairs are designed only for emergency use, making them small and particularly steep.

With the support of the old butler, Elder Wei climbed to the sixth floor. Both of them were exhausted and out of breath, nearly costing Elder Wei half his life.

Elder Wei had lived a life of luxury and ease since young, never having suffered like this. Unexpectedly, at his age, he had to endure such hardship.

But, thinking this was his own fault, he was helpless. Who told him to chase Wei Qingxue away? If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have needed to make such an effort.

Arriving in front of Wei Qingxue’s house.

The old butler knocked on the door.

Li Xueyan opened the door and, upon seeing Elder Wei, instinctively showed a look of reverence.

"Sir, you’ve come. Please come in." Li Xueyan said with a smile.

The old butler supported Elder Wei to the living room to sit down. Both of them walked as if they were floating. There was no other way; climbing the stairs had worn them out.

Luckily, Wei Qingxue lived on the 6th floor, which wasn’t too high. If she lived on the 20th floor, they might have directly died of exhaustion.

Wei Dazong noticed something was wrong; his father’s head was covered in sweat, his face pale!

"Father, are you feeling unwell? Why is your complexion so white?" Wei Dazong asked with concern.

Elder Wei said, "I’m fine."

The old butler sighed, saying, "How can he be fine? The elevator here was just broken, and the elder climbed up himself."

"What?"

Wei Dazong and Li Xueyan were astonished.

"Sir, why didn’t you call us to go down?" Li Xueyan stuttered. Elder Wei climbed up personally to see them; this was too unbelievable.

It was as strange as the sun rising from the west.

Wei Dazong hastily poured Elder Wei a cup of water, saying, "Ah-Yan is right, father. Why didn’t you ask us to come down? If anything happened to you, we couldn’t bear the responsibility!"

Elder Wei said, "I wanted to see Qingxue and couldn’t think about anything else. By the way, why isn’t Qingxue here?"

Wei Dazong said, "The child came back today feeling upset. After hearing you were coming, she went out."

Elder Wei and the old butler nearly collapsed.

Damn!

They climbed six floors laboriously just to see Wei Qingxue, to move her, and yet Wei Qingxue went out!

This isn’t fair!

Elder Wei smiled wryly and said, "It’s all my fault. I’m the one who upset her. I shouldn’t have impulsively chased her away. I’m sincerely here to apologize, hoping she can forgive me and return to the Wei Family. She is part of the Wei Family and will never change."

Wei Dazong and Li Xueyan exchanged looks, not knowing what the old man was up to. He chased Qingxue away, and now he’s here lowering his posture, wanting Qingxue to come back; it’s also him.

"Father, what happened? You chased Qingxue away before, and now..." Wei Dazong carefully inquired.

Elder Wei looked embarrassed and said to the old butler, "You explain it to them."

The old butler said, "It’s like this: today, after the Third Miss left, someone came to discuss cooperation, willing to invest a billion in the Wei Family. But the other party has only one condition: to sign with the Third Miss."

The couple exchanged glances, surprised.

Someone specifically asked to sign with Wei Qingxue; who could that be?

Then they realized, Elder Wei is relying on Wei Qingxue, huh!

No wonder, given Elder Wei’s usual Supreme Emperor pose, how could he lower his head to a junior? Even risking his life, climbing six floors, was actually asking for help.

Thinking of this, Li Xueyan couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

Who would’ve thought, Elder Wei would also have a day he needs them!

Wei Dazong curiously asked, "Father, what’s the background of the investor, why did they specify Qingxue?"

Elder Wei said, "The investor is Wanjin Group. Today, their head of the investment department personally came."

Li Xueyan was surprised, "Wanjin Group? Head of the investment department, is it Zhao Feng? How is it possible?"

Wei Dazong said, "What are you talking about?"

Li Xueyan said, "It’s like this, I introduced Qingxue to the Zhao Family that day, President Zhao of Wanjin promised me that as long as Qingxue remarried Zhao Feng, Wanjin would invest a billion in us. But today, I just learned this investment cannot continue because President Zhao is no longer Wanjin’s chairman. Now Wanjin is coming to invest, what’s going on?"

Elder Wei said, "I don’t know the Zhao Feng you mentioned. The head of the investment department who came today is a woman, Miss Xu."

Li Xueyan was even more surprised, "Even Young Master Zhao has been replaced!"

Elder Wei said, "I’ve also learned about Wanjin’s personnel changes; they changed the chairman but the shareholder structure hasn’t changed. Also, the contract Wanjin offered had no issues, and aside from the investment return, didn’t make excessive demands."

Li Xueyan said, "Did they request Qingxue to remarry?"

Elder Wei said, "No, Wanjin is no longer dominated by Zhao Jiasheng, they don’t have such a request. According to Miss Xu, Wanjin is optimistic about our project, so they restarted the investment plan Zhao had stopped."

Li Xueyan said, "Then why did Wanjin demand only to sign with Qingxue?"

Elder Wei said, "That, I don’t know. So I need Qingxue to come forward and talk to Wanjin. The time left for our Wei Family is short, this might be our only chance. I hope Qingxue can forgive me and help the Wei Family through this difficulty. If necessary, I can kneel to her."

The couple was startled.

Wei Dazong promptly said, "Father, you’ve spoken too heavily."

Nearby, Lin Fan leisurely sipped tea, quietly watching them talk. He had arranged all this, yet now he seemed like a spectator enjoying the show.
