Chapter 540: Chapter 540: In Her Previous Life, Her Later Encounters with Mr. Song
That was two months after he disentangled himself from Xia Zhengguo’s case.
Even though he was reinstated, he still suffered the consequences. The new Minister of Justice who took over from Xia Zhengguo ignored him, just letting him languish in his old position.
This kind of stagnation made him unable to see his future.
Therefore, knowing that the Minister of Justice was going out to play golf with his wife over the weekend, after much consideration, he decided to bring Tang Li along to the golf course.
The acting Minister of Justice, Mr. Lv who was in his sixties and had retired to the second line a few years ago, was temporarily elevated to the Inspector General’s position by Song Baiyan after Xia Zhengguo’s fall.
Lv Zhengwen was a typical nice guy who always tried not to offend anyone. Even though he knew he had been Xia Zhengguo’s secretary, he still retained him instead of finding an excuse to transfer him.
Song Baiyan placed Lv Zhengwen in this position rely to stabilize the current situation, without intending for him to overhaul the Ministry of Justice aggressively.
Once a suitable candidate for Minister of Justice was found, Lv Zhengwen would “step down to make way for the talented.”
His visit to the golf course ultimately stemd from his unwillingness to lead an unremarkable life. Even though Lv Zhengwen might not stay long at the Ministry of Justice, he still planned to befriend him. Having been in the bureaucracy for decades, Lv Zhengwen undoubtedly had connections. After so thought, he decided to consider Lv Zhengwen as his ntor.
It so happens that Lv Zhengwen had also been a teacher at the Capital Political and Legal College for a few years.
The affection between Lv Zhengwen and his wife was no secret in the political circle.
Hence, he purposefully brought Tang Li along.
Mrs. Lv, who ca from a rural background, did not like pretentious ladies from prominent families; on the contrary, girls with ordinary backgrounds were more likely to win her favor.
Even though he didn’t explicitly explain, Tang Li still perceived his intentions.
Thus, upon reaching the golf course, she made an effort to strike up a conversation with Mrs. Lv, subtly trying to endear herself to her.
He brought Tang Li along, simply wishing to “emulate” Mr. and Mrs. Lv.
At that ti, Tang Li was only 23 years old. Even though she had been married to him for over two years, her social circle was limited, and since the Lai Family had never taught her how to subtly curry favor, her approach was too deliberate and instead earned Mrs. Lv’s disregard.
He made an excuse to retrieve a water bottle to send Tang Li away, telling her to stay in the car and not co over again.
That afternoon, he spent ti playing golf on the lawn with Lv Zhengwen and the others.
Later, they encountered a solar eclipse.
The entire sky turned completely dark.
Not until the solar eclipse was over did he go back to the car to get sothing.
Leaving the lawn, before even reaching the parking lot, he first encountered the chief of security next to him.
Then, he noticed the scene not far away.
Tang Li was sitting on a rock, pressing a towel to her eyes with both hands, with a pair of n’s sunglasses resting on her knees – those were the ones he had left in the car.
Opposite Tang Li sat another man, none other than Song Baiyan.
Song Baiyan’s arrival at the golf course was clearly a private affair.
If others had known that Song Baiyan was here, they would have flocked around him instead of circling Lv Zhengwen.
It was his first ti closely observing Song Baiyan.
Under the setting sun, Song Baiyan wore a sea-blue POLO shirt, his features handso and slender, his stature still erect. Due to poor health, white hair had begun to appear at his temples. His gaze on Tang Li was especially tender. Although they were several steps apart, he heard Song Baiyan ask Tang Li, “Since you ca with your husband, and your eyes are uncomfortable because of the solar eclipse, why didn’t he stay to look after you?”
“He didn’t neglect ,” Tang Li imdiately replied. “He was playing golf with Chief Shang, I don’t like staying on the lawn, so he asked to wait in the car. I wanted to bring him his sunglasses, but ended up hurting my eyes… I also want to thank you for finding the towel for .”
