How could it possibly be Tang Li?!
How could Song Baiyan be interested in an illegitimate daughter?!
Old Madam Lai, too flustered to comfort her granddaughter, sought confirmation from Old Madam Bai once again: "Are you sure it’s Tang Li? Our Lai Family only has two granddaughters, one’s nad Sheng Xia, the other’s Yuanyuan. Why don’t you make a call and check if there’s been so mistake?"
Seeing Old Madam Lai’s reaction, Old Madam Bai was bewildered. She was here to arrange a marriage. Ordinarily, if a man like Song Baiyan fancied a girl from a family, who wouldn’t agree?
Why do the Lai Family People seem like they’ve seen a ghost?
Being questioned repeatedly, Old Madam Bai was a bit displeased: "The matter of matchmaking, Old Madam Song had inford about half a month ago, and she even emphasized it repeatedly last night, sending over a photo as well. How could there be a mistake?"
Old Madam Lai was utterly confused.
Didn’t they say it was Yuanyuan? How did it beco Tang Li?!
Ouyang Qian went upstairs to wake her daughter, who, after hastily washing up, didn’t even have ti to tie her hair, changed clothes, and dashed downstairs, unable to conceal her exuberant mood.
Yet, the two words ’Tang Li’ struck like a bolt from the blue!
Ouyang Qian was also dumbfounded.
Given Song Baiyan’s status, how could he be interested in Tang Li?
Was he blind?!
Lai Wenyan, after calling to inform relatives and friends, re-entered the villa and sensed sothing was amiss, especially noticing Old Madam Lai’s trembling hands gripping her cane. As for Ouyang Qian, her face kept changing as if she’d just received so terrible news.
"What’s going on?" Lai Wenyan asked.
Old Madam Lai’s mind was in turmoil, unable to speak. The one she always underestimated, the jinx, how did she beco a soaring phoenix?!
In her view, Tang Li’s life was destined to be about frivolous affairs with n. How could she ever have a decent marriage? And yet, now she’s caught Song Baiyan’s eye.
Lai Yuaner turned and ran back upstairs!
Seeing the Lai Family People behaving so abnormally, Old Madam Bai could only speak with Lai Wenyan: "Today, Old Madam Song entrusted to co and propose for His Excellency. His Excellency is thirty-two this year and has always been busy with state affairs. Previously, he fancied a girl nad Tang Li, whom he heard is a relative of the Lai Family, so he asked to co over. If there’s no issue, the two families can finalize the marriage."
"You an His Excellency is interested in Tang Li?"
"Who else then?" Old Madam Bai found this family increasingly strange: "Who did you think His Excellency wanted to marry?"
Lai Wenyan felt alternating chills and warmth all over.
That day at the dining table, Song Baiyan clearly said "the young lady of the Lai Family."
Or could it be—
Did Song Baiyan know Tang Li is his daughter?
Just then, footsteps were heard at the villa entrance.
Aunt Fang’s delighted voice followed closely: "Is our Yuanyuan really going to beco the President’s wife? This is an imnse joy that deserves at least three days and nights of fireworks!"
Old Madam Bai: "..."
Lai Wenyan: "..."
Ouyang Qian: "..."
Old Madam Bai now understood; obviously, this family had mistaken the person.
Or rather—
The one Song Baiyan wishes to marry is not the one the Lai Family hoped for!
With such a mix-up, Old Madam Bai didn’t know what else to say: "As for how to proceed, the Song Family will likely have a plan. I’ll take my leave then."
As Old Madam Bai’s figure disappeared into the distance, Old Madam Lai ultimately couldn’t hold on and collapsed to the ground.
Lai Wenyan hurriedly supported his mother, pinching her philtrum.
Before long, Old Madam Lai slowly regained consciousness, grasping her son’s wrist tightly: "How is it Tang Li? How could it be Tang Li!"
