The matters Song Baiyan decided on, Xiao Minglan naturally wouldn’t oppose.
After dinner, she called the Bai Family and invited Old Mrs. Bai to visit the Lai Family the next day.
Old Mrs. Bai would be going as a mutual introducer for both parties.
Tang Li vaguely sensed the good mood among the Lai Family People.
However, as for the specific good news, the Lai Family People kept it a tight secret, and she didn’t ask further.
The next day, after getting up, Tang Li planned to have dinner with Yu Sui and the others in the evening. She first booked a restaurant online, and by the time she went downstairs, the restaurant had already sent her the private room number.
In the dining room, Old Madam Lai and the couple Lai Wenyan were already there.
As for Lai Yuaner, she had not yet woken up.
Tang Li didn’t sit down for breakfast and, under Old Madam Lai’s disdainful gaze, took a sandwich and left with her bag slung over one shoulder.
Just after leaving Lai Mansion, Tang Li noticed a sedan parked by the roadside.
A dignified elderly lady was getting out of the car.
She appeared to be in her sixties, with an attendant beside her.
At the entrance of the Lai Family, Tang Li noticed them, and they noticed Tang Li as well.
Tang Li guessed that the person was a guest of the Lai Family, and since it didn’t concern her much, she didn’t linger.
Old Mrs. Bai didn’t recognize Tang Li, but last night, she had seen a photo of Tang Li, so now, as she looked at Tang Li, she found her somewhat familiar.
Before she could speak, Tang Li turned and left.
Old Mrs. Bai asked the attendant beside her, "Is it her?"
"Looks like it." The attendant took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Old Mrs. Bai: "She also came out of the Lai Mansion, so it’s likely not a mistake."
Today, Old Mrs. Bai came over to discuss a marriage proposal and to meet with the elders of the Lai Family.
The person involved not being there wasn’t a concern.
So, Old Mrs. Bai instructed the attendant to ring the doorbell directly.
Inside the villa, Old Madam Lai was momentarily stunned upon learning that Old Mrs. Bai suddenly visited: "Why did she come to our house?"
There were no connections between the Bai and Lai families.
At the entrance of the dining room, a servant said, "They said they’re here to help with a marriage proposal."
"What marriage proposal?" Old Madam Lai was taken aback and then looked at her son: "Have you been in contact with the Bai Family recently?"
"I haven’t, but the Song Family has interacted with the Bai Family."
Lai Wenyan had a certain guess, and the words "marriage proposal" lingered in his ears: "Bai Yiqian is the current Minister of Finance, and he has close ties with Song Baiyan. The two families are very close."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qian also had a speculation: "Could she be here to propose marriage for Yuanyuan?"
As for who the groom was, it was already becoming apparent!
Old Madam Lai became excited and immediately instructed the servant: "Quick, invite the guest in right away."
As she spoke, she stood up herself, quite disoriented with joy. She wanted to greet them personally, while also urging Ouyang Qian to go upstairs to wake her granddaughter, and telling her son to make a call. Since it’s to talk about a marriage proposal, inviting more people over to liven things up would be good!
On the way, Tang Li received a call from Mother Wu.
Mother Wu told her that seemingly, a distinguished family had come to propose marriage for Lai Yuaner.
At this moment, the introducer was sitting in the Lai Family’s living room.
In a previous life, Lai Yuaner had been engaged to the only son of the future vice president. Tang Li did not expect this to happen many years earlier in this life.
Meanwhile, at the Lai Family.
Old Madam Lai thought she must have misheard and asked Old Mrs. Bai again, "Just now you said, you came to propose marriage for whom?"
"Tang Li." Old Mrs. Bai repeated: "It’s the Song Family that asked me to propose. Song Baiyan, Your Excellency, has taken a liking to the young girl living at your Lai Family’s place!"
From the stairs came the sound of a cellphone dropping to the floor.
Old Madam Lai turned her head to see her granddaughter standing on the steps, her face pale.
