Chapter 215: 218 Xiangqiao, order between the elder and the younger

Song Lili was sure the Old President did not look at her meaninglessly.

Most likely, her guess was right, the Old President already knew about her relationship with Wen Nian.

Since it was a birthday banquet, offering a tribute to the Old President was a very important part.

She didn’t know which family’s daughter started it, but she was the first to bring up her tribute.

At the side staircase of the banquet hall, several bodyguards had already brought out everyone’s tributes, placing Song Lili’s and Song Xiangqiao’s tribute together, and two attendants brought them to their sides.

The top-tier society’s young talents, all well educated and cultured, orderly wished the Old President birthday greetings one after another.

When it was almost the Song Family’s turn, Song Xiangqiao unconsciously walked to the front, but Song Lili grabbed her hand,

"Xiangqiao, elders before the young."

"..."

Song Xiangqiao knitted her brows, her reluctance rare in its display.

"Otherwise, shall I call you Elder Sister hereafter?"

Song Lili wore a detached expression.

Song Xiangqiao took a deep breath, moved behind Song Lili, and followed her steps to approach the Old President,

"Elder Wen, Song Lili on behalf of her father, Song Jiayu, wishes you a birthday more enduring than the southern mountains and fortunes as vast as the eastern seas."

"Song Lili...?"

Sitting in his chair, surrounded by members of the Wen Family, was Wen Liangyu; Wen Chou, Wen Nian’s father, stood beside him along with Wen Nian’s mother, Xiao Ziyan.

"Yes."

"Oh, so you are Song Lili, Mayor Song’s daughter, indeed extraordinary in demeanor."

Wen Liangyu did not hide his praise for Song Lili, his eyes deeply smiling, yet Song Lili felt not a degree of warmth.

"Grandpa Wen, Xiangqiao also wishes you have this day and this morning every year! Always be strong and spirited!"

"Song Family’s...second daughter, and the Miu Family’s granddaughter, right?"

Wen Liangyu seemed to know quite a bit more about Song Xiangqiao.

"Grandpa Wen, I have admired you since I was little, and up until now, I always keep the guidance you gave to the youth during your presidency in my heart."

"Oh?"

Song Xiangqiao slightly lifted her head, her voice neither humble nor haughty, confidently said,

"He who recognizes the great can embrace the small."

After Song Xiangqiao spoke, Xiao Ziyan, standing beside Wen Liangyu, nodded in satisfaction. Though both daughters from the Song Family, the difference was not small.

This Song Lili...

Xiao Ziyan was truly somewhat troubled; at this birthday banquet, she had suggested to her father not to invite Song Lili, yet he said they were both Song Family’s daughters, how could he treat them unfairly.

Unfairly... if the old gentleman knew how close Wen Nian and this girl named Song Lili were in the Ruicheng Military District, perhaps he would not have spoken those words.

"He who recognizes the great can embrace the small, Grandpa Wen, you taught us that only by integrating personal ideals with the national and ethnic cause, can we truly make a difference. Cherish your prime, strive to excel, and dare to be a pioneer marching ahead of the times."

Song Xiangqiao’s words were powerful, drawing more attention than the silent Song Lili beside her.

The first to start clapping was Xiao Ziyan.

Song Lili looked up at the dignified woman, her features bore a strong resemblance to Wen Nian; a younger Xiao Ziyan was the Prime Minister’s wife and was also praised as the most beautiful woman in the country.

Xiao Ziyan didn’t like her, and it seemed from the start, she had decided that she, Song Lili, would become a hindrance to Wen Nian.
