Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 371: Wishing She Were Dead

Compared to Lai Shengxia, the cute and playful granddaughter was the apple of her eye.

Just thinking about her precious granddaughter marrying her own sister’s ex-boyfriend, even if Lai Yuaner truly liked him, Old Madam Lai absolutely did not agree.

"Yuanyuan is young and ignorant. Have you, as her mother, also become muddled? No matter how promising Han Jifeng’s future is, there is no reason for me to sacrifice my own granddaughter! If he still has feelings for Xiaxia, how can Yuanyuan live in the Han Family?"

Lai Wenyan also disagreed: "Yuanyuan is still young and doesn’t understand the matters of the heart. It seems Han Jifeng indeed hasn’t forgotten Xiaxia. If Yuanyuan really marries him, aside from suffering, she can’t expect to have any Good Days."

Ouyang Qian spoke up: "I’m not talking about Yuanyuan."

She paused and said, "In the past, when Han Jifeng came to tutor Yuanyuan, Ah Li had met Han Jifeng. If it weren’t for Yuanyuan telling me, I wouldn’t have known that Ah Li has always liked Han Jifeng."

"That illegitimate daughter?" Old Madam Lai was somewhat disbelieving.

Ouyang Qian tacitly acknowledged.

Old Madam Lai sneered coldly: "She might like him, but I’m afraid he wouldn’t even give her a second glance!"

Lai Wenyan, with his lips pressed into a thin line, did not immediately take a stand.

Ouyang Qian broke the silence in the dining room: "The child Ah Li hasn’t had it easy either. Her mother passed away early, and one doesn’t get to choose their own birth. Since arriving in the Capital, she barely speaks at home and is so timid. I want to enlighten her, but when the words come to my lips, I don’t know what to say for fear of unintentionally hurting her..."

"Her courage is small?" Mentioning the illegitimate daughter made Old Madam Lai feel disgust welling up inside her: "If only she had died early along with her mother, sparing the Lai Family the trouble. I would light three sticks of incense every day to thank the Heavens and the Buddha willingly!"

Ouyang Qian: "Mom, don’t say that, Ah Li is still a child."

"A child? With a heart that vicious, better to die early and be reincarnated. In the next life, may she never be born into the Lai Family again—I, the old woman, beg her!"

Lai Wenyan did not join the conversation, and later asked his wife, "Does Tang Li really like Han Jifeng?"

Previously in the hospital, Ouyang Qian had tested Lai Wenyan with her words, and it was clear that he wanted a son-in-law like Han Jifeng.

Without waiting for Ouyang Qian to reply, Lai Wenyan said, "With her manners, now that Han Jifeng is rising high, she can’t compare to Xiaxia, and she falls far short in all aspects. There are many who set their eyes on Han Jifeng nowadays, and it would not be difficult for him to find a good wife."

Ouyang Qian suggested, "Isn’t there a state banquet tomorrow? Han Jifeng will probably be there. Let’s bring Ah Li along, and have him make up his own mind. There’s no need to speak plainly; it can also preserve Ah Li’s dignity."

Lai Wenyan was persuaded and silently consented to this arrangement.

The cover photo shoot ended, and the photography team booked flights back to the country for Sunday noon.

At 3:30 pm, the plane arrived at Capital Airport.

Tang Li wasn’t surrounded by a crowd like Deng Xian; she didn’t bring an assistant for this photo shoot. After disembarking, she didn’t want to be engulfed by Deng Xian’s fans who came to pick him up, so she simply went out on her own first, then went outside the airport to call a taxi.

However, just as she stepped out of the airport, her arm was jerked by someone.

Tang Li looked intently.

—Two burly men blocked her way.

Just then, a Jinbei van pulled up to the curb.

The car door was flung open, and two tall and muscular men got out. The one who seemed to be the leader eyed Tang Li and asked, "Are you Tang Li?"

Tang Li counterquestioned, "Are you looking for Tang Li?"

Seemingly afraid that she would run, several burly men had already surrounded her.

Tang Li didn’t panic, her expression as usual, as she pointed toward the inside of the airport: "She’s quite popular recently, just got off the plane, and is still together with that Deng Xian guy. They should be coming out soon."
