Chapter 7: Chapter 7: I Will Take It All Back, One by One Chapter 7: Chapter 7: I Will Take It All Back, One by One Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Song Baiyan…
This name instantly leaped into Tang Li’s mind.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the “Minister Song” referred to by Old Madam Lai, the “Brother Song” for whom Lai Wenyan was instructed to show courtesy, was the current Finance Minister—Song Baiyan.
And he was the next President of the country.
In her previous life, she had stopped that Cadillac and only seen Song Baiyan from afar.
At that time, Song Baiyan’s health was already failing.
Through the half-lowered car window, Tang Li saw the man in the back seat of the sedan, a handkerchief over his mouth and nose as if he had coughed, his features lean but not frail, exuding the seriousness of someone who had ascended, not bothering to have her chased away by security due to her indiscretion.
Perhaps Tang Li remembered these details because—
In the following years, this New President was the only person who had offered her help.
However, half a year after she was confined at home by Han Jifeng, she learned from the television news that the President had been impeached and removed from office due to relatives interfering in government affairs.
Within half a month, Song Baiyan passed away in the hospital at the age of 36.
Tang Li sat on the bed in her room, looking at the information about Song Baiyan she had found on her cellphone.
There wasn’t much about Song Baiyan on Wikipedia.
Apart from his personal history, only the positions he had held were listed.
Tang Li’s gaze had just rested on Song Baiyan’s date of birth when the door was forcefully shoved open, banging against the wall with a deafening sound.
Barging in was Lai Yuaner.
Seeing the malicious intent of the arrival, Tang Li put down her cellphone and slowly stood up: “What is it?”
“Tang Li!” Lai Yuaner was furious.
Lai Yuaner had changed into clean clothes and had her right arm re-bandaged, no longer in the awkward state after being pulled out of the swimming pool. She glared daggers at Tang Li, suddenly extending her right hand from behind, holding a cup of boiling water!
Tang Li couldn’t dodge in time and her neck and a large portion of her shoulder were scalded red.
Lai Yuaner saw Tang Li’s disheveled appearance and immediately felt relieved: “That’ll teach you a lesson, to think you can be arrogant while living under someone else’s roof, don’t forget who the real master of this house is!”
Hearing this, a smile edged Tang Li’s lips.
Lai Yuaner was instantly enraged: “What are you laughing at!”
Tang Li raised her hand, slowly wiping away the splashed hot water on her cheek, then approached Lai Yuaner with no warning, and slapped her across the face!
“Slap—!” Lai Yuaner’s head was jerked to the side.
Her cheek burned with pain.
She covered her face, in disbelief.
The illegitimate daughter who humbly eked out a living in their home like a parasite, dared to hit her?
Tang Li, actually dared to slap her?
This realization filled Lai Yuaner with indignation, and then, her cheeks were pinched out of shape, and she heard Tang Li’s devilishly evil murmur by her ear: “So disobedient, what do you think I should do to punish you?”
Lai Yuaner felt fear: “Aunt Wu! Aunt Wu!”
Tang Li seemed amused by her hysterical antics, and gradually loosened her grip: “Next time you enter my room, if you don’t knock or bring dangerous items with you, the consequences won’t be so light.”
Facing Lai Yuaner’s jealous gaze, Tang Li acted untroubled: “Now get out!”
“This is your true face!” Looking at Tang Li whose temperament had completely changed overnight, Lai Yuaner gritted her teeth: “All the timidity of the past, and that wronged appearance in the garden just now, it was all an act!”
Tang Li suddenly smiled, moving closer to Lai Yuaner, whispering in her ear: “Then from now on you better behave.”
“Because, whatever you and the Lai Family owe my mother and me, I will claim it all back.”
