Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce

Chapter 222: 225, let’s dance.

Wang Yun’s eyes shifted between Song Lili and Song Xiangqiao.

She finally figured it out—they were family, both daughters of Vice Mayor Song. They were putting on an act for her, it was Song Xiangqiao who told Song Lili that she had swapped out the birthday gift with dirt and deadwood, and then the two of them collaborated to switch her gift again, causing her to embarrass herself in front of the Old President at the birthday feast!

It was all for their father, Song Jiayu!

Before coming, her father and mother had instructed her at home to be extremely cautious, not to treat this feast merely as a place for fun and games. It was a political arena, clothed in whatever garb, where politics, business, economics, power, and status never stopped battling.

Yet she hadn’t taken it seriously.

At seventeen, still at an age fond of play and being an only child, it wasn’t easy for someone like Wang Yun to understand such complexities.

But now, she seemed to grasp what her parents were saying.

It was she who did something so childish, yet Song Lili and Song Xiangqiao had elevated this naivety to a political level.

They were taking the opportunity to embarrass her father in front of the Old President.

Yes, indeed, what are good friends in this world? Song Xiangqiao’s father is Song Jiayu, the Vice Mayor under her own father—doesn’t that gentle-looking Vice Mayor want to become the Mayor himself?

Only, realizing all this was a little too late.

Song Xiangqiao, looking at Wang Yun, felt utterly disappointed. Wang Yun had completely lost her ability to think.

There wasn’t a speck of dirt on her shoes; after she brought back the dirt and twigs, Song Xiangqiao had specifically reminded her to clean her shoes, and she did just that.

Song Lili had simply been probing with her words, and her reaction had already confirmed the accusation.

With so many people around, whose eyes weren’t sharp?

"Alright, today is Grandpa Wen’s birthday, let’s let bygones be bygones."

Xiao Ziyan had probably guessed the course of events quite accurately.

Wen Liangyu’s expression was far from pleased. He turned around to return to his original spot and said to the butler beside him,

"Arrange for someone to send Miss Wang home first."

"Yes."

Wang Yun was completely stunned, leaving the banquet hall like a zombie with the assistance of the Wen Family’s butler.

The Old President did not dwell on it, and of course, nobody else wanted to clash head-on, so the matter was dropped, and the spectators dispersed.

Song Xiangqiao looked towards Song Lili, said nothing, and just stared at her...

"What’s wrong?"

"Are you... Song Lili?"

Song Lili smiled, "What are you talking about, Xiangqiao? If I’m not Song Lili, who else could I be?"

"..."

Song Lili turned and walked away as the birthday feast continued. In Anlin City’s five top families, each daughter was outstanding, and the birthday gifts they presented were no ordinary items.

Everyone was eager to present their gifts, except Lu Xiaoer lay at one side, sobering up, and ultimately didn’t join the competition for that honor.

After most of the gift presentation was over, Lu Xiaoer was also about to sober up.

Then came the free dance, with the dining hall next to the ballroom, where chefs began preparing for the evening banquet.

"What was that about just now?"

Lu Xiaoer, seeing Song Lili approaching, couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing much, how are you feeling, still dizzy?"

"I think... I could have another drink!"

"Give it a rest!"

"Little Ear, come dance with me."

Along with those words, Zhongli Wuzhi’s voice was accompanied by his outstretched hand in front of Lu Xiaoer.
