Tang Li sat in the pavilion, stretching her long legs forward, looking bored, and she also ca into view through the window of the cadre ward upstairs.
The pavilion was within the courtyard, so there was no danger.
Even so, Yuan Qin always kept watch nearby.
That’s why, when leaving the pavilion, Song Baiyan didn’t keep Ji Ming behind.
"You still need to stay in bed and rest for the next couple of days." The on-duty doctor treated Lai Wenyan’s abdominal wound and reiterated the reminder.
Lai Wenyan didn’t intentionally try to tear open the wound.
Upon learning that Song Baiyan was visiting him, to show proper courtesy, he had Jiang Yuan help him to the door, planning to personally welco Song Baiyan.
Little did he know, after standing for fifteen minutes with no sign of Song Baiyan, his abdon began to bleed.
Just as he lay back down, Song Baiyan arrived.
Fortunately, Song Baiyan wasn’t soone overly concerned with appearances; seeing the bloodstain on the bandage, he even had his chief guard call the doctor for him.
Once the doctor left, Song Baiyan closed the slats of the blinds.
Watching Song Baiyan turn back, Lai Wenyan started a conversation: "Ah Li was just here a mont ago; if I had known you were coming, I would have asked her to stay a bit longer."
At this mont, he was naturally playing the role of a caring father.
"She’s busy with the film crew every day now; keeping her here would just waste her rest ti." Song Baiyan replied, also sitting down on the long sofa.
Lai Wenyan detected the hint of indulgence Song Baiyan had toward Tang Li in his words.
——It was clear Song Baiyan didn’t oppose Tang Li’s acting.
If it were up to Lai Wenyan, Tang Li should start arranging her marriage instead of acting in so silly play.
So matters still have variables until the last step.
However, Song Baiyan coming to visit indicated his satisfaction with this marriage engagent so far.
Lai Wenyan’s injury was not publicized.
Of course, Song Baiyan had his ways of finding out.
But coming to the hospital the next day was Song Baiyan’s gesture towards the Lai Family.
It also showed that Tang Li indeed hadn’t tarnished her father’s na in front of Song Baiyan.
A year ago, Lai Wenyan would never have imagined that, of his three daughters, it was the one he least expected that would beco a major boost to his political career.
On the other hand, Lai Shengxia, whom he had held in the highest regard, almost tainted his reputation.
At this point, Jiang Yuan brought in so tea he had just brewed.
As a cup of hot tea was placed before him, Song Baiyan spoke up proactively: "In another five or six days, the wound should have scabbed over."
By then, it would also be the senatorial election day.
Hearing this, Lai Wenyan imdiately thought in that direction.
However, Song Baiyan sat there, unfazed, seemingly uttering a casual concern, because as he picked up the teacup, he didn’t steer the conversation back to politics.
Lai Wenyan then recalled that the stab wound on his abdon was originally ant for Tang Li.
For a mont, he couldn’t gauge Song Baiyan’s attitude.
Was there a hidden aning in those words?
It’s possible that Tang Li might have complained to Song Baiyan, saying that Yuanyuan intended to harm her.
Amidst the weaving thoughts, Lai Wenyan also spoke: "The kid at ho is immature, quarreling with her mother a bit, then throwing a tantrum, waving scissors around recklessly without a second thought; next thing I know, it accidentally stabbed ."
Song Baiyan smiled and put down the teacup: "Teenagers are naturally impulsive. It’s rare to find one as sensible as Ah Li."

Starting tomorrow, there will be more updates, about three to four thousand words each day. I’ve been in the hospital these days, so the updates were delayed!
Even though it’s late, I still want to ask, did you do any shopping for Singles’ Day?
