No matter how plainly she dressed, Wen Nian could still clearly see this woman’s ambition!
It wasn’t for any other reason, but because she had groomed her daughter, Xiangqiao, little by little to become an outstanding and charming top socialite.
Xiangqiao was only seventeen years old. What kind of mother would let her immature daughter willingly enter the great dye vat of high society? And what kind of mother, without the slightest care for the treacherous waters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, would send her daughter into it?
The purpose... could not be more obvious.
Wen Nian had long been aware of Xiangqiao’s feelings for him and also knew of Lerong’s delusions.
Thus, it wasn’t that he was too tense, but rather, these scoundrels surrounding Lili, he had to protect her from them.
"Find an opportunity to test Xiangqiao."
Qu Yu, seeing Wen Nian was truly worried, nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Upon leaving the President Mansion, Xiangqiao felt as if her steps floated and her legs were weak...
She must have heard wrong, it definitely had to be a misunderstanding...
That mention of "Mrs." and "Lili" must just be a coincidence. There couldn’t be any connection between these two words!
Xiangqiao clenched her fists, thinking so to herself...
But unfortunately, having merely heard these two words, both overly sensitive for her, she really struggled to ignore them or convince herself not to ponder further.
Lili... and Brother Wen Nian couldn’t have actually... gotten married, could they?
According to her mother, the Wen Family would never approve of someone ordinary like Lili.
So no matter how much Brother Wen Nian liked Lili, the two of them couldn’t possibly have a future together.
So even if she felt heartbroken every time Brother Wen Nian was kind to Lili, she was still able to console herself, convincing herself that the last one laughing would be the winner.
It was impossible— if Lili really was the President’s wife already, such news couldn’t be covered up so tightly, without even a hint leaking!
As she thought, Xiangqiao’s pace unconsciously quickened!
When she returned to the Song Family, she rushed straight into the master bedroom, where her mother was napping, startling her with her abrupt entrance,
"What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?"
With Song Jiayu at work, and only her mother at home, Xiangqiao shut the bedroom door and rushed to the bed,
"Mom, is there a way to find out Mr. President’s marital status?"
Xiangqiao asked urgently. Lerong, confused, responded, "Who are you talking about?"
"Brother Wen Nian! Mr. President’s marital status, is there a way to check it?"
Lerong reached out to touch Xiangqiao’s forehead, "Daughter, are you confused?"
"I went to the President Mansion today to deliver documents to the President’s Office. There weren’t many people outside the office door, I didn’t think much and approached. Standing by the door, I faintly heard Chief Secretary Qu Yu mention ’Mrs.’, and then Wen Nian mentioned ’Lili’..."
"What mess are you talking about, can you even hear clearly from outside the President’s Office?"
"I know, I indeed can’t hear clearly, but I just heard these two terms, I just..."
"Xiangqiao, I’ve told you many times, people who achieve great things must learn to keep their composure."
"Can’t we just check?"
Xiangqiao insisted, staring intently at Lerong.
