Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1166: You Don’t Like Him Anymore?

Letter of Apology.

Su Mei was well aware of the weight an apology letter carries in a criminal case.

With Meng Shu detained in custody, she had considered seeking an apology letter.

However, her own son was ill-intentioned and had kidnapped those two important people, so she was really too ashamed to ask Xiao Minglan for a favor.

"From what I know, if there’s an apology letter and a criminal reconciliation is reached, it can reduce the base sentence by 50% or more, and in the best-case scenario, even waive the penalty."

Su Mei stared at the marriage certificate on the coffee table, not responding immediately.

Tang Li’s voice came again, "Meng Shu isn’t the main culprit. A single sentence will affect three generations. Aren’t you willing to fight for him?"

To say that Su Mei wasn’t moved would be a lie.

She looked at Tang Li again, "Can I know what happened to you?"

As for her own background, Tang Li had no intention to publicize.

Moreover, the reason she approached Su Mei was because of Xiao Minglan.

But this level of trust wasn’t enough for her to be completely open with Su Mei.

So, Tang Li only said, "I assume you’ve seen the news online these past couple of days. Regardless of the truth behind those rumors, my poor background is a fact. I’ve heard some inside news; someone is trying to use me to go against him."

Su Mei countered, "Just because of this, you want to dissolve your marriage with him?"

From the moment she met Su Mei, Tang Li’s attitude had been consistent, "Maybe you think I’m worrying over nothing, but for me, nothing is more important than this."

"You yourself said it’s just a rumor." Su Mei spoke, pushing the marriage certificate towards Tang Li, "If I abuse my authority to help you with this, I won’t be able to explain myself to the Song Family afterward."

Su Mei was afraid of being questioned by Song Baiyan later.

This was something Tang Li had anticipated long ago.

Therefore, when Su Mei refused, she didn’t show any disappointment.

She remained silent for over ten seconds before speaking again, "What if I told you that I regret this marriage?"

Facing Su Mei’s surprised look, Tang Li was instead calm, "The first time I met him was at Old Madam Lai’s birthday banquet. I was being made difficult by the Lai Family people, and he stepped in to save me from embarrassment. I was only nineteen then, and encountering a mature and steady man willing to extend a helping hand naturally left me in awe."

"Later, I pursued him fiercely, but when we actually got married, I realized there was an unbridgeable generation gap between us."

Su Mei hadn’t expected to hear such a self-analysis.

Tang Li continued, "He is busy with work every day, and sometimes, I don’t even get to see him at night. We speak less than ten sentences a day, and I’m just a graduate from a third-rate school, to put it bluntly, an embroidered pillow with straw at the core. When he talks to me, I can’t even respond properly, yet I have to pretend to understand."

Su Mei replied, "I see you’re also busy acting and recording variety shows; you’re not idle either."

Tang Li: "..."

"For actors like you, it’s actually beneficial for both sides to be busy with work. If the other has nothing to do every day while you’re away filming, that’s when relationship problems arise."

Seeing that Tang Li’s mind hadn’t changed, Su Mei advised, "Besides, which couple doesn’t have quarrels? Don’t belittle yourself too much. Since he chose to marry you, there must be something exceptional about you. Maybe he likes your simplicity?"

"I’m not simple at all." Tang Li gave an example, "Back when he was on a blind date, I deliberately stayed at the Yunqi Villa gate until late night and even hurt my foot to draw blood. I used his compassion to stay at the villa and spoke ill of Miss Bao, and later, he and Miss Bao from the Bao Family truly didn’t end up together."

"Since he likes you, he naturally wouldn’t continue with Miss Bao from the Bao Family."

Su Mei added, "I’ve seen Miss Bao from the Bao Family, her looks are indeed good, but compared to you, she slightly pales."

Tang Li didn’t want to comment on a past rival and changed the topic, "I’m a selfish person. I don’t want to be trapped in this disappointing marriage. Whether you call me willful or irresponsible, I just want to return to being single as soon as possible."

"So, does that mean you don’t love him anymore?" Su Mei asked.

Tang Li didn’t answer immediately.

Su Mei suddenly stood up, "I’m going to the restroom."

Seeing Su Mei taking her handbag, Tang Li couldn’t help but remind, "Please don’t tell anyone, including the Song Family, about my meeting with you."

"Don’t worry." Su Mei promised, "I won’t say anything that shouldn’t be said."

Once Su Mei entered the restroom and confirmed there was no one in the stalls, she took out her cellphone from her bag.

She didn’t contact Xiao Minglan. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The first call she made was to her father-in-law.

Upon explaining the situation, she obtained Song Baiyan’s private number.

For such marital issues, the wisest choice is to contact the person involved directly.

Dialing Song Baiyan’s cellphone number, it rang five or six times. Once connected, Su Mei skipped pleasantries and spoke about Tang Li’s request to meet her.
