Song Baiyan had already turned back around.
Before he even approached, Lai Wenyan burst into hearty laughter: "Old Xia's secretary mentioned running into Minister Song here, and I made a bet with Old Xia. I especially came over to check, and who would have thought it really is you, Brother Song!"
Song Baiyan clasped the hand extended by Lai Wenyan: "Just happened to be on the weekend, came to stretch my muscles a bit."
Lai Wenyan was about to say something else, but his attention was caught by the girl standing to the side.
Once he realized it was Tang Li, his entire face darkened. Suppressing the urge to scold her, he instead apologized to Song Baiyan: "Ah Li doesn't understand how things work. Her aunt is looking all over for her, who knew she would run off here."
After saying that, he surreptitiously signaled to Tang Li with his eyes, telling her to hurry out!
Tang Li found it ironic.
This was just how hypocritical and cold-hearted Lai Wenyan was.
