What he said changed the atmosphere of the place. It was not so frightening anymore.
It was different from Old Lady Li's politeness. Tang Li stared at the man in front of her. She was a little stunned. She was unsure whether it was because of his white shirt or his familiarity.
He appeared calm and serious. It was obvious that he was a mature man.
People might find him quite frightening upon meeting him for the first time.
Tang Li recognized him. He was the man who was standing outside of Li Wenyan's study just now.
The light was brighter now and Tang Li could see him clearly.
He did seem like an influential man who enjoyed great power.
But, it was not only that.
He seemed to dress too casually compared to the other guests who were dressed up nicely for the party. He did not even have a tie on. Even so, his shirt and long pants still clearly showed his perfect body. It was an enjoyable sight.
People even got the impression that...
They should dress up as casually as him for a birthday party.
Tang Li scanned him and now her eyes fell on his left wrist. He was wearing an exquisite black watch with a brown band.
Old Lady Li addressed him as 'Minister Song'. It rang in her ears.
It was clear that he was indeed a man who enjoyed a prestigious place with high power.
At least, he would not be any less than Li Wenyan.
Tang Li felt that he seemed quite familiar to her. But, she could not recall anything about him.
She did not know his name. It might be because of what had happened to her during her marriage with Han Jifeng. They were married for four years. During that time, Li Shengxia's marriage was ruined and she had come back to her homeland alone. Tang Li had once bumped into them having an affair. After that, Han Jifeng had locked her up in the house and never allowed her to leave unless she was going to attend necessary events.
She was completely cut off from the world for two years.
The only living thing that kept her company then was an orange cat.
But, the cat was hit by a car when it had snuck out of the house once.
The man peeked at her when he felt that Tang Li had been staring at him for a long time. It seemed that he noticed it very soon.
At the same time, Tang Li recovered her senses and looked down quickly.
Li Wenyan grew calmer when he found that Li Yuan'er was fine. "It's a mess now and the party is ruined. I hope that you won't mind, Brother Song."
It was obvious that Minister Song was a VIP that night.
He might even be the most prestigious guest too.
Tang Li looked at him again and heard the man's reply. "Since they're kids, it's normal if they like to mess around."
His deep voice was dominating too. It seemed to be resolving the argument for the Li family.
Li Wenyan replied casually, "The birthday party has just begun. Let's enjoy the meal in the garden."
But, Minister Song replied, "I still have to deal with some business. I've wished the old lady for her birthday. I'm going to leave now."
A youth approached him when he was done talking.
The youth was holding a suit on his left arm. Clearly, he worked for Minister Song.
Tang Li felt that the youth was rather familiar to her too.
When the guests dispersed from around the swimming pool, she suddenly remembered where she had met the youth before.
In her former life, Han Jifeng was involved in a bribery case when she was twenty-three years old. Li Wenyan did not have much love for her so she could not seek his help. She had no choice but to stop the car of an influential man.
Back then, the car she had stopped was a black Cadillac.
She only knew afterward that it was the president's car.
Ji Ming, a lieutenant colonel who worked for the president, came to meet her.
He was the youth just now.
There would be a general election the following year. Tang Li realized now that the surname of the next president was 'Song'.
