Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 210 - 213 Since you have come, you should at least look the part.

Chapter 210: 213 Since you have come, you should at least look the part.

Xiaoer was guessing.

Lili found it amusing, no one in this world could stop Wen Liangyu, the old President, from doing what he wanted to do.

Wen Nian was the President, but he was also Wen Liangyu’s grandson.

"Xiaoer, I really didn’t have many designs on coming today. One simply can’t refuse an invitation from the old President, otherwise you wouldn’t be here either, right?"

"..."

That was true.

"Lili wouldn’t receive an invite from the old President, but Song Jiayu’s daughter would. Now that I’m here, I can’t let my father lose face," Lili told Lu Xiaoer.

Lu Xiaoer looked at Lili intently...

"What is it now?"

"Lili... did you really say that?"

"..."

"What place in Xilin, and where’s my naive, cute, and ridiculously silly Lili!"

"Lu Xiaoer, are you looking for trouble!"

Lili quickly glared at her.

Lu Xiaoer laughed, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I don’t know what’s the situation with you and Wen Xiaonian right now, but... you have your own attitude and stance, and as long as you’re clear about that, it’s good."

The two walked halfway around the lake, but half an hour was far from enough for best friends to catch up and chat.

There they were, heading towards the banquet hall while still chatting animatedly.

Outside, it was still somewhat cool, but stepping inside, it instantly became warm. Two attendants at the porch received the birthday gifts and coats brought by Lili and Lu Xiaoer.

"Thank you."

After expressing her thanks, Lili wrapped things up with Lu Xiaoer and they bypassed the porch to enter the banquet hall.

She wouldn’t dare to say that only the old President’s birthday feast could have such arrangements in the entire country of G, but... even if there were others, they were rare.

The top five powerful families of Anlin, the four generals of Mukui, the three tycoons and one official of Ruicheng...

Every prestigious family with political, economic, and military influence from the southern triangular region of G had assembled.

Wen Liangyu’s birthday banquet mostly invited young talents, but leveraging the old man’s celebration, many respected and influential elders were also present.

"Whoa..."

Lu Xiaoer gaped, "It’s truly fitting for an old President; the clout is just too incredible."

"Yeah."

Lili agreed, doubting even Wen Nian could bring so many elite and wealthy families together.

From this birthday feast alone, it was clear that even after a long time since stepping down, Wen Liangyu still held considerable power.

She thought this was probably the sight Wen Liangyu most wanted to see.

"It’s said that Mr. President won’t be attending today... I wonder if it’s true..."

Lu Xiaoer mumbled to herself.

Lili froze for a moment, "He’s not attending?"

"What? You didn’t know? Mr. President is on a diplomatic visit in M country these days. Don’t you watch the news?"

"Then what kind of event is the old President throwing..."

Lili’s heart skipped a beat.

"I told you, it’s him picking for the President. Besides, look at the bodyguards and security checks outside, they’re certainly not at the President’s security level."

Lu Xiaoer’s observational skills were astonishing, making Lili reflect deeply.

She had to admit, from the moment she arrived, she couldn’t calm down, the nervous tension inside her showing no signs of easing.

"Sister Lili?"

Approaching from the opposite direction was none other than Wang Yun, the Anlin Mayor’s daughter who had fought over clothes with her the other day.

She was in a pink-white dress, already young in age with a girlish air about her, and in that pink-white dress, she looked even younger and cuter.

Only, regrettably... she had a mature makeup look that didn’t quite match the dress.
