Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1170: A Chance to Choose Life Again
Since Song Baiyan nodded, Su Mei felt unburdened by any further manipulation.
The next day, Tang Li obtained two divorce certificates.
She also handed a letter of understanding to Su Mei.
Although Meng Shu is a bad person, he does not reach the level of being utterly unforgivable. Tang Li is willing to provide the letter of understanding, considering the relationship between the Song and Meng families. However, even if Meng Shu isn’t sentenced, he will still spend six months in detention.
Of course, this is the result of Tang Li’s pillow talk.
Last night, she subtly probed Song Baiyan about Kun’s arrest.
Even though Wu Ming escaped injured, it doesn’t hinder the prosecution of the kidnapping case. To avoid causing public panic, the part where Song Jingtian was kidnapped will not be recorded, so when the time comes, the severity of Meng Shu’s criminal involvement will be assessed and sentenced by the court.
Upon learning this situation, Tang Li appeared indignant.
Before sleep, she deliberately kept mentioning, what if Meng Shu slipped through the net?
There’s nothing that can’t be solved by a woman’s persistent nagging.
If there is, then just nag several more times.
After getting into bed, Song Baiyan also promised her, Meng Shu’s reformation cannot be skipped, if not in prison, then at the detention center, in any case, he must fully recognize his errors.
As for the other accomplice, Kang Yunxi—
Kang Yunxi went abroad years ago and has already acquired citizenship of Country F.
As a citizen of Country F, the rescue efforts for Kang Yunxi are not the responsibility of Country S.
A few days ago, the embassy of Country F in Somalia indeed requested the Somali side to quickly clarify the situation and initiate corresponding rescue efforts, but after half a month, there was no progress.
Su Mei also went to Tan Palace to ask Xiao Minglan for help due to Kang Yunxi.
Even if Song Baiyan stepped in, such help was only humanitarian.
Therefore, whether Kang Yunxi can return is always an unknown.
Tang Li verified the authenticity of the divorce certificates and asked Su Mei for help: "I haven’t told him about this for now, waiting for the right moment, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"Of course." Su Mei agreed: "I won’t say anything I shouldn’t."
This sounded somewhat familiar.
However, Tang Li did not doubt Su Mei’s assurances and smiled at Su Mei: "You’ve helped me a lot, I should treat you to a meal, but... I have bodyguards following me and waiting at the company parking lot, I shouldn’t stay outside too long."
"Then hurry back." Su Mei urged first.
"We’re family, no need to be so distant."
Tang Li nodded.
Tang Li returned to Basement Level 2 of IMG, and after getting in the car, she explained to herself: "Feng Qi is discussing a makeup endorsement for me, the brand is particularly fussy, some things are hard to negotiate."
Yuan Qin glanced at the rearview mirror and did not expose Tang Li’s act.
According to routine, when Tang Li returned to the company today, he should have followed her upstairs.
However, as soon as Tang Li got out of the car, a message appeared on his cellphone.
It was sent by the gentleman.
The gentleman asked if his wife was at the company?
Yuan Qin replied ’Yes,’ and reported Tang Li’s recent suspicious behavior.
Listing these points, he stated his intention to go upstairs and investigate.
Unexpectedly, just as he opened the car door, he received further instructions from the gentleman.
The gentleman’s first message contained just three words.
—Let her do.
Soon, another message from the gentleman arrived.
He was told.
When she returns, act as if nothing happened.
So the gentleman is aware of what his wife is doing.
Realizing this, Yuan Qin did not go upstairs.
After returning to Tan Palace, Tang Li brought two divorce certificates to find Xiao Minglan.
About her connections with the Li Family in Siamese, Song Baiyan had informed Xiao Minglan last night, and she hadn’t concealed her plan to visit Chiang Mai Prefecture from Xiao Minglan.
Xiao Minglan stayed silent upon learning Tang Shen was an undercover agent from Siam, and only spoke when Song Baiyan said she’d be staying in Chiang Mai Prefecture for a while, asking first about the number of people in the Li Family’s main household.
Because Tang Li had an uneasy relationship with the Lai Family, Xiao Minglan had never considered the Lai Family as relatives she should engage with.
Now aware that Tang Li has close relatives in another country, she must take this seriously.
Otherwise, they might be criticized for being rude.
Looking at Tang Li’s charming face, Xiao Minglan felt uneasy.
She always thought Tang Li wasn’t too steady, but now it seems Fortune’s Wheel has turned, what if the Li Family finds her son too old?
Xiao Minglan couldn’t help but identify with the role—
If she were a family member of Tang Li, she wouldn’t accept Tang Li marrying a man almost a cycle older.
No matter how outstanding this man may be.
It’s known that women have a longer life expectancy than men.
Song Baiyan, having been in politics for many years, is surely more mature compared to men of his age, making him appear somewhat tedious.
As Tang Li went to help Aunt Min cut fruit, Xiao Minglan couldn’t resist discussing with her son: "Fortunately you’re still in this position, so they may consider the face of the Buddha if not the monk’s. If they came to recognize relatives ten years later, one can’t predict what harsh words they might say."
Song Baiyan: "..."
Recognizing his mother’s ’criticism,’ Song Baiyan placed down his teacup: "Whether the Li Family can say harsh words is yet unknown, but your remarks are quite tangible."
"I’m concerned for you." Xiao Minglan grew increasingly melancholic.
"Previously Tang Li had no other family, inevitably had emotional dependence on you. Now her family has appeared, if she spends too much time with them on this visit to Siamese, changes are bound to occur."
Song Baiyan surely understood Xiao Minglan’s concerns.
Tang Li’s feelings for him are complex.
Apart from being her husband, he plays a more significant role in Tang Li’s life.
This is a good thing, yet not entirely good.
Once the tide recedes, the barren rocks will be exposed.
Song Baiyan acknowledged his luck: had the Li Family found her two years earlier, Tang Li’s emotional void wouldn’t need outsiders to fill, she wouldn’t have stumbled into his arms.
Thus, Tang Li visiting the Li Family in Siamese may not be a bad thing.
"Some things only become clearer after being apart."
Xiao Minglan understood the implications of Song Baiyan’s words.
He was giving Tang Li a chance.
A chance to choose her life anew.
Upon returning to Siamese, accompanied daily by family, Tang Li will also rediscover her inner self.
Whether it’s love or some form of transference.
An answer will come forth.
As a mother-in-law, Xiao Minglan must prepare gifts for Tang Li’s first homecoming.
In the living room, when Tang Li found Xiao Minglan, she was examining a Century-old Wild Ginseng.
Upon hearing that the Wild Ginseng was for Li Hao, and had been specifically selected by Song Baiyan, Xiao Minglan asked for her opinion, Tang Li placed the ginseng back into the brocade box: "Very good, when I get pregnant, it can be cut to brew tea."
Xiao Minglan: "..."
Realizing Tang Li wasn’t joking but seriously wanted to keep the ginseng for herself, Xiao Minglan hurriedly reached out, clutching the other side of the brocade box.
——
Good night.
