Ouyang Qian hurried to the police station upon hearing the news.
Lai Yuaner sought refuge in the restroom to take drugs during the new drama’s press conference, this news attracted countless reporters. Ouyang Qian sat in the sedan, watching as journalists blocked the entrance to the police station, making it impregnable. Her heart sank.
She knew her daughter better than anyone; Lai Yuaner was willful but would absolutely never touch drugs!
As she stepped into the police station, she saw her eldest daughter.
"What’s the situation now?" Ouyang Qian’s high heels tapped on the floor, producing a series of urgent clicks.
Lai Shengxia said, "The results of the urine test show that Yuanyuan hasn’t taken any drugs."
Ouyang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "If she hasn’t taken drugs, why did they still release her?"
"The police now suspect Yuanyuan of illegal possession of drugs."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qian turned deathly pale.
Lai Shengxia comforted her mother, "A lawyer is on his way, and the police are just suspecting her without sufficient evidence; they can’t do anything to Yuanyuan."
"Why would she have anything to do with drugs when she was doing just fine?"
"It was my oversight this ti."
Ouyang Qian looked at her daughter and instantly understood.
On the way over, she had already seen the news on Weibo. Initially, the one exposed for drug use was Tang Li, but now all the fire was directed at Yuanyuan!
"I knew it was a setup!" Ouyang Qian couldn’t help but exclaim angrily: "Yuanyuan is naive, how can she withstand her manifold sches!"
Saying this, Ouyang Qian pulled out her cellphone: "I’m going to call your dad!"
Early this morning, Lai Wenyan went on a trip out of town and wouldn’t be back until three days later.
Upon learning that Tang Li frad Lai Yuaner for drug possession and had her thrown into the police station, Lai Wenyan cursed the rebellious daughter over the phone: "With her at ho, we’ll never have peace!"
Ouyang Qian’s eyes reddened: "I don’t want to speak ill of Ah Li, but this ti, she really went too far."
"I should have never let her through the door in the first place," Lai Wenyan restrained his anger while slowing down his speech to comfort his wife: "I’ll call my friend right away. Once Yuanyuan is out, you and Xiaxia take her ho first, we’ll deal with the rest when I return."
After hanging up the call, Ouyang Qian felt sowhat better.
She spoke up as she thought of sothing, "Last night, your dad encountered Han Jifeng at the dinner, where Han Jifeng was quite courteous to him and even took the initiative to ask about that illegitimate daughter."
Lai Shengxia asked, "What did they say?"
"Your dad told he probed Han Jifeng with his words. Even though Tang Li made a scene at the state banquet, Han Jifeng isn’t repulsed by her, and if there’s intent to facilitate, the marriage could still happen."
"Han Jifeng’s infatuation with you is true," Ouyang Qian sighed. "If not for you, why would he agree to marry that illegitimate daughter?"
Lai Shengxia said, "With Ah Li being in this situation now, it wouldn’t be good to let her get engaged to Jifeng."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qian looked at her daughter.
"I heard that Director Ling has been kept in his original position."
Ouyang Qian knew who Lai Shengxia was referring to and nodded, "He was supposed to be promoted. Your dad also ntioned that Song Baiyan intended to use him, but his son fought with Han Jifeng during the state banquet. Song Baiyan might not say it, but he’s probably annoyed inside."
Such a debacle at one’s pre-inaugural state banquet was bound to be frustrating.
If not annoyed, why not continue to use Ling Guowei?
Everything about Ling Guowei was fine except for one thing: his poor parenting.
With the new President taking office, Ling Guowei appears to retain his position, but in reality, he has been demoted. Even if Han Jifeng remains in his place, he’s only so young; Ling Guowei, not being promoted this ti, can forget any advancents before retirent!
