Their gazes t, Lai Shengxia quickly lost her smile.
She understood the subtext of Tang Li’s words imdiately.
This was an all-out, no-regret move.
Tang Shen should have been the leverage to restrain Tang Li, but now she’s using it to threaten the Lai Family People.
Is Tang Li stupid?
No, she’s quite clever!
Tang Li knows very well that in the entire Lai Family, she’s the only one standing alone.
If she can’t marry His Excellency, no matter how well she fares in the entertainnt industry, at the end of the day, she’s just an actor. Once she marries Song Baiyan, it will truly be a double win for fa and fortune.
As the First Lady, she’s just a step away from the highest power in this country.
That’s the status countless won dream of.
Humans are naturally profit-driven.
Tang Li has the chance to attain this position, asking her to give it up now is akin to snatching food from a tiger; it’s surprising if she doesn’t fight to the death!
Lai Shengxia isn’t afraid of Tang Li’s threat, but she can’t disregard Ouyang Qian.
Tang Li’s intentions are crystal clear.
If she’s not going to end up well, she won’t let Ouyang Qian have it easy either.
Song Baiyan isn’t an ordinary citizen; if exposed, marrying by deception to a country’s President will inevitably beco international news. The previous remarks of Tang Li aim to place the bla on Lai Wenyan and his wife’s heads, while she plays the victim of persecution by her biological father and stepmother as an innocent little flower.
Then, the ones most tied to Tang Shen, ironically, would be Lai Wenyan and Ouyang Qian.
Even if Ouyang Qian goes abroad, her reputation will suffer severe damage.
Social death isn’t sothing everyone can withstand.
As for Lai Wenyan, hearing Tang Li’s ruthless ’if I die, we all die together’ remark, his expression split open.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting! Who said we forced you to agree to this marriage!"
Holding her still flat belly, Tang Li grew more righteous: "If not for Dad’s greed and desires, I wouldn’t be separated from my child’s father! Aunt Qian, elder sister, and Yuanyuan, everyone knows my grandfather’s identity, yet they all chose to support the abuser! In an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. You want to push out as the scapegoat, no way!"
Lai Wenyan looked at her face, nearly having a heart attack on the spot!
Seemingly realizing her words were too harsh, Tang Li’s eyes reddened, "Dad, don’t bla ; it’s Aunt Qian and elder sister who left no way out. Even a rabbit bites when cornered. After all, I’m not born from Aunt Qian; it’s normal she doesn’t want to have it good."
Ouyang Qian: "..."
Even at a ti like this, the little brat doesn’t forget to snap at her!
Speaking of which, she never hated Tang Yin as much back then!
Yet, Lai Shengxia didn’t give Tang Li the chance to enrage her mother further: "Ah Li is right, we’re family, glory for one, glory for all; loss for one, loss for all. Amidst the current situation, we ought to seek common ground externally rather than turning against each other."
With this, Tang Li retracted her thorns.
She exhaled deeply, her tone softening: "In this family, only elder sister is the sensible one. I don’t want to talk to Dad or Aunt Qian anymore; it’s like preaching to deaf ears."
Lai Wenyan: "!"
Ouyang Qian: "!"
Are you shaless?!
Who was just being so dramatic?!
Gently rubbing her belly, Tang Li spoke with implication: "I believe with elder sister here, Dad and Aunt Qian will eventually understand."
With a smile, she looked at Lai Shengxia: "Elder sister, isn’t that right?"
"..." Swallowing her resentnt, Lai Shengxia smiled: "Ah Li, since you said so, none of us will leak a single word to the outside!"
Tang Li seed satisfied with this result.
"If that’s settled, I’ll head back to my room?"
Before leaving, Tang Li glanced at Lai Wenyan: "Dad, tomorrow is the councilman election, rember to get so rest early!"
Lai Wenyan: "..."
Was that concern?
Clearly not!
His daughter is reminding him to consider his career before canceling the marriage with Song Baiyan!
After confirming Tang Li had walked away supported by Aunt Wu, Ouyang Qian aid her cold sneer at her husband: "Now you should see, whether the obedient bunny you raised is actually a wolf ready to bite the hand that feeds!"
Lai Wenyan paced back and forth with hands on hips.
If the marriage isn’t canceled, Tang Li’s pregnancy must remain airtight.
Privately, apart from Tang Li, he’s the person most hoping the marriage continues.
But risks accompany opportunities.
If anything goes wrong, Song Baiyan’s wrath awaits him.
Feeling agitated, Lai Wenyan heard more snide remarks from Ouyang Qian and turned to her: "I seem to have forgotten, you did find a good godson!"
Turning to herself, the topic shifted quickly.
Lai Shengxia noticed her father’s unfriendly look and intervened to protect her mother: "Mom recognized Xiao Liang as a godson for ."
Facing her father’s gaze, Lai Shengxia added: "The scar on my face might never fade; even without it, I’d still be in the sanatorium for five or six years, the trafficking case is known far and wide, respectable families wouldn’t want anymore, Mom thinks Xiao Liang is decent, so—"
Lai Wenyan understood her unfinished words.
As a mother, she’s preparing to find her daughter a husband to bring ho.
"Previously, I didn’t tell you because we weren’t sure." Lai Shengxia continued: "Today I ca from the sanatorium, ostensibly for a checkup, but actually to co ho and et Xiao Liang."
This explanation was reasonable.
Lai Wenyan’s expression finally softened, and he asked: "So are you satisfied with him?"
"He’s quite nice." Lai Shengxia smiled, "And I’ve already discussed with him that our first son will carry the surna Lai."
Not having a son has been Lai Wenyan’s greatest regret.
Now knowing he will have a grandson is so consolation.
After all, whether he can recover his vigor is uncertain.
No matter what happens with Ouyang Qian, Xiaxia is still his daughter, connected by blood, her child rightfully carries the Lai bloodline.
Having soothed her father, Lai Shengxia let her mother push her to her room.
Once inside, she opened her dormant computer.
Ouyang Qian noticed the screen displayed an email; after scanning a few lines, her expression changed, "Xiaxia you..."
"Seems like it’s unnecessary now." Lai Shengxia discarded the email into the trash bin, then said: "I initially thought to send this email to major dostic mainstream dia before boarding tomorrow."
This email could destroy Tang Li’s future.
Including her marriage with His Excellency.

Mr. Song: I cuckolded myself.
[Song Xiaohua’s Revelations①]
At four, Song Xiaohua often suspected she was the reincarnation of a pig spirit because she discovered she shared many similarities with Peppa Pig — she liked jumping in mud puddles, loved chocolate cake, and enjoyed drinking juice.
That sa year, her brother was born.
In the hospital ward, looking at the wrinkled face of her brother, Song Xiaohua felt a bit sad: this ti, she held conclusive evidence proving she was not mom’s biological child.
For her brother resembled a little monkey from the zoo!
Turns out her mom not only liked stealing piglets but also monkey cubs!
Watching her dad pick up the little monkey, oh no, brother, to show mom, Song Xiaohua’s sadness flowed backward, facing dad’s concerned look, she forced a standard fake smile.
——Life is so tough, but we cannot give up!
