Lai Wenyan listened, and the gloom on his face was no longer so intense.
He knew that Tang Li was telling the truth.
The man Tang Li was to marry had an extraordinary social status.
Putting aside the identity of a president, Song Baiyan was still the Family Head of the Song Family, his wife couldn’t possibly be so Cinderella.
Besides—
Even in fairy tales, Cinderella’s father was a count, not a commoner.
The marriage of Song Baiyan symbolized the alliance of two families.
At least for the next few decades, the Lai Family would be in the sa boat as the Song Family.
Perhaps Song Baiyan indeed liked Tang Li a lot, but such affection wouldn’t co without weighing it carefully; that Song Baiyan settled on this betrothal signifies the value of the Lai Family in his heart.
As for Tang Li, wanting to stand tall in the Song Family after marriage, having a good family background is a necessary prerequisite.
Even if the father and daughter had conflicts before, when mutual interests are laid out, as long as Tang Li isn’t too foolish, she should understand how important he and the Lai Family are to her.
Tang Li’s current response well confird this point.
"As for who is targeting you like this." Tang Li paused for two seconds, looked directly at Lai Wenyan, and said: "Could it be related to the senator’s election?"
Lai Wenyan’s right eyelid twitched.
"S Country has over a billion people, but there are only about a hundred senators. During the election ti, you never know who might want to push you out."
Tang Li picked up the fruit knife again, cutting an apple while analyzing: "Senators are elected by provincial parliants, the other party’s intention can’t be said to be anything but sinister. If you happen to faint during the parliant session, by then, those initially about to vote for you would likely change their minds last minute."
Lai Wenyan had not experienced any dizziness these days.
The only notable symptom was his impotence.
As long as he didn’t ntion it, who outside would know?
Moreover, he wasn’t missing an arm or a leg; even if news of his impotence beca public, it wouldn’t affect his ability to be a senator.
At most, it would beco gossip for others over als.
As long as he didn’t feel embarrassed himself, the embarrassnt was for others.
So from the start, Lai Wenyan didn’t suspect it was an opponent ssing with him.
Tang Li didn’t know his situation, hence this speculation.
From both a father’s perspective and a man’s, Lai Wenyan couldn’t bring himself to tell Tang Li, that he was rendered impotent by soone drugging him!
Ignoring Lai Wenyan’s constipated look, Tang Li pushed the cut apples forward, "Now is a society ruled by law. For the other side to do such a thing ans you’ve infringed upon their vital interests."
Vital interests...
Lai Wenyan’s face darkened another level.
He wasn’t Xin Qing, whose interests could he have infringed upon?!
After discovering Jiang Yiniing’s true identity, Lai Wenyan had investigated her background. She was unclaid; otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept her outside.
As for others, they were rely temporary transactional relationships.
"Father asked to co to the hospital, is there sothing?" Tang Li suddenly asked.
"..."
Originally, Lai Wenyan suspected Jiang Yiniing drugged him, and held a bit of anger against this daughter, calling her over at night just to scold her.
Now that Jiang Yiniing’s suspicion was cleared, there was no need to interrogate Tang Li further.
Admitting the truth would inevitably harm the father-daughter relationship.
Lai Wenyan simply snorted coldly: "Can’t I, as a father, just call you to co see for no reason?"
"Of course you can, if I’d known Yuanyuan wasn’t here, I would have co right after finishing my shoot in the evening."
Even if Tang Li was willing to fulfill her filial duties at the bedside, Lai Wenyan didn’t want it.
Tang Li’s background was a thorn lodged in his heart.
Every ti he looked into Tang Li’s eyes, those eyes would remind Lai Wenyan of Tang Shen.
Tang Shen died with his eyes open.
—Dying not at peace.
