Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 6 - High Position and Great Power

The conversation had a calming effect on the previously tense atmosphere.

Unlike the politeness shown by Old Madam Lai, Tang Li looked at the man who appeared before the swimming pool with a brief moment of astonishment, unsure if it was due to the white shirt he was wearing or the slight sense of familiarity in his eyes and brows.

Profound and restrained, yet with a sense of steadiness that comes with experience.

It somewhat overwhelms you upon first meeting him.

Tang Li recognized him; he was the man from Lai Wenyan's study earlier.

The light from the streetlamp was bright, allowing Tang Li to get a clear view of him.

He indeed was a man with an imposing presence.

But it wasn't just that.

Compared to other guests dressed up for the event, his attire seemed casual, no tie worn, yet his shirt and trousers made his figure look tall and straight without any hint of impropriety.

In fact, there was a sudden recognition—

For a family banquet like a birthday, perhaps this is the way one should dress.

Tang Li's gaze drifted unintentionally downward, landing on the man's left wrist, where a watch was worn, black-faced with a brown strap, dignified and imposing.

The way Old Madam Lai said "Minister Song" still echoed in her ears.

—— It confirmed the man's high position.

At the very least, not lower than Lai Wenyan's current status.

Tang Li felt the man looked familiar but couldn't recall specifics.

She didn't know his name. Moreover, because in her past life, after she had been married to Han Jifeng for four years, Lai Shengxia's marriage fell apart, and she returned to the country alone. After she stumbled upon the entanglement between them, Han Jifeng kept her confined at home, only letting her leave for necessary occasions.

During those two years, her life was almost completely isolated from the world.

The only company she had was an orange cat.

Later, that orange cat died from a car accident after sneaking out.

Perhaps Tang Li's gaze lingered too long, and the man, having been stared at for quite a while, seemed to have noticed and glanced over from the corner of his eye.

Almost simultaneously, Tang Li came to her senses and quickly lowered her head.

Ensuring that Lai Yuaner was okay, Lai Wenyan's expression had already improved: "With such drama happening, it has spoiled everyone's mood for the banquet, please Brother Song don't take it to heart."

The last sentence indicated that this Minister Song was indeed tonight's VIP.

Perhaps, also the highest-ranking among all the guests.

Tang Li looked over again, just in time to hear the man reply to Lai Wenyan: "Since they're all children, it's inevitable they might roughhouse."

His deep voice held a subtle pressuring tone and smoothed things over for the Lai Family.

Lai Wenyan seized the opportunity to defuse the awkwardness: "The birthday banquet has just begun, please everyone proceed to the garden for the meal."

However, Minister Song said, "I have matters to attend to later and have already wished the old lady, so I won't impose any further tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man approached respectfully.

A suit jacket was draped over his left arm, clearly a subordinate of Minister Song.

When Tang Li caught a glimpse of the young man, she felt even more certain he looked familiar.

It wasn't until the guests by the swimming pool began to disperse that she finally remembered; in her past life, she had had a fleeting encounter with that young man.

When she was 23 years old, Han Jifeng was embroiled in a widespread bribery case. Lai Wenyan was indifferent to the father-daughter relationship, and she had nowhere to turn. She took a risk and tried to stop a bigwig's car outside Tan Palace.

The car she stopped was a black Cadillac luxury vehicle.

Later she learned—

That belonged to the President's motorcade.

The person who met her was a Lieutenant Colonel named Ji Ming.

The young man from before...

Tang Li belatedly realized, the surname of next year's election successor for President was Song.
