Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Don’t Compete for Roles with Your Sister! Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Don’t Compete for Roles with Your Sister! Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Lai Wenyan somewhat realized that his words had been inappropriate.
However, with the election approaching next year, his statement was also a veiled probe.
——A probe to test Song Baiyan’s attitude towards medical reform.
The moment Tang Li closed the glass door, Song Baiyan’s reply came: “Drafting the medical law proposal is not within the purview of the Ministry of Finance, I don’t know more than Chief Prosecutor Xia.”
Some things she still remembered, after Song Baiyan got elected in her previous life, he still vigorously implemented the new medical reform law.
As Tang Li reached the elevator entrance, she saw Lai Wenyan’s assistant waiting there.
“The councilman asked Miss to go to the underground parking lot first. He has something to ask Miss, asking her to wait for him for a while.”
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the elevator doors opened at that moment.
This time, Tang Li was unexpectedly cooperative.
About a quarter of an hour later, in the underground parking lot, Lai Wenyan emerged from the elevator.
Tang Li was waiting beside a glossy black Suburban.
This Suburban was the exclusive vehicle after Lai Wenyan became a councilman.
Lai Wenyan approached with a stern face.
Excluding the phone call she hung up in school, this was the first time father and daughter had a private conversation since Tang Li’s rebirth.
Lai Wenyan was still in his sportswear, apparently having come straight down to meet her after leaving the gym.
Having lived a second life, seeing Lai Wenyan so grim, Tang Li was no longer afraid.
Not caring, she was also not afraid of whether he was disappointed or satisfied with her.
He started with a barrage of questions.
Tang Li did not deny it.
Seeing her indifferent demeanor, Lai Wenyan’s anger intensified, his hands clenched tightly behind his back. However, considering they were in public, he ultimately didn’t lash out.
He suppressed his anger slightly and continued, “Song Baiyan is not someone you can mess with, and don’t harbor any ill intentions. You are a child of the Lai Family, and even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If the Lai Family has any issues, do you think you can remain uninvolved?”
In her previous life, Tang Li was exposed as an illegitimate daughter, but the outside world did not know her mother was the daughter of a drug trafficker.
The fact that Lai Wenyan had a child who was descended from a Drug Lord—if publicized—his political career could well come to an abrupt end.
In the past, Tang Li, considering that Lai Wenyan was her only relative in the world, especially after Ouyang Qian hinted at the “interests” at stake, hence, in her previous life, regardless of how she was maligned by others afterward, she never dared to explain herself too much in public. She feared saying the wrong thing that could implicate her father, who had finally become a councilman.
Now, with Lai Wenyan being so furious and with his warning, he was afraid that she would hand his leverage to others.
After all, in his heart, she was just a foolish child who caused nothing but trouble.
Seeing that Tang Li was silent, Lai Wenyan took it as his warning having an effect.
“Since the movie matter has been settled, don’t cause any more trouble for me. I didn’t have you major in acting for you to compete for roles with your sister.”
“Yuanyuan has been taking roles since she was young, you can’t compete with her in professionalism. The audition passed was just a fluke for you, and deep down you know very well whether you have the ability to take on that role.”
Tang Li looked up, giving Lai Wenyan a wry smile: “Both dad and aunt have already taken away my chance to prove my abilities, what else can I say?”
“What are you talking about?!” Lai Wenyan burst out angrily.
“Since Yuanyuan values this role so much, I’ll let it go. I don’t have parents willing to invest money in me, swallowing a loss and teeth knocked out is just part of life.”
