Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!-Chapter 794: Background

Leng Yan looked at her with eyes that were nearly indistinguishable from those one might give a country bumpkin.

"You really don’t even know about Lady Lingyi’s affairs, so why are you dining with her?"

"She was the former President, could there be any other identity?"

Leng Yan threw her another idiotic look and indicated he had no desire to speak with her.

Xia Shi shook her head. Leng Yan really was a fool.

She turned to Xia Weibao, "Lady Lingyi isn’t just simply the former President.

She’s an incredibly independent and capable person, who dares to love and hate.

The Yan Family wasn’t what it is now back then, merely a mayor’s family, and Lady Lingyi was the mayor’s daughter.

The then-sitting President fell for her at first sight and proposed a marriage alliance to the Yan Family.

However, Lady Lingyi had fallen for an ordinary man, and it was said he had an unclear background."

At this point, Xia Shi shrugged, "The President asked for her hand in marriage, but she fell for a commoner, and the outcome is imaginable. Naturally, the Yan Family clung to the marriage proposal with the President, so the then Mayor Yan forcibly demanded Lady Lingyi break up with that man and marry the President.

To force the split, Mayor Yan even had someone beat up the man, completely crippling his legs.

Lady Lingyi was fiery by nature. She clashed with her family over this issue, resulting in a fallout with Mayor Yan and cutting off ties with her father, and then she fled with that man."

Xia Weibao was dumbfounded. No way, that’s so badass!

You have to admit, Yan Lingyi truly had guts. The President proposed, and by marrying him, she would have been the mother of the nation, yet she simply refused and even severed ties with her father!

"What happened afterwards?" she asked, curious.

Xia Shi shrugged, "I don’t know. After Lady Lingyi had a falling out with her family, she disappeared out of the public eye.

The affair was a huge scandal at the time, causing a sensation across the city. The President’s proposal was quite a sensation; however, Lady Lingyi would rather be cast out from her home than marry him, especially for a commoner, which made him lose face.

Afterward, the President held a grudge against the Yan Family and when the moment arose, he charged Mayor Yan with treason, resulting in his death.

Using this opportunity, he pursued the extermination of the Yan Family, with Mayor Yan’s brothers all dying, nearly leading to their eradication.

The young and clever Yan Fei, along with his sister Yan Yuexian, managed to escape.

Lady Lingyi, who had already changed her name and gone into hiding, was also implicated.

Later, Lady Lingyi returned to the imperial city and over the course of a few years, single-handedly brought down the President, vindicated the Yan Family, and took his place as the President.

She became the first female President in the history of Hua Country!

She served only one term and could have been re-elected in the subsequent Presidential race with overwhelming majority, but she chose to step down.

And she supported her nephew, Yan Fei, unto the Presidential position.

Meanwhile, she leveraged her proven abilities to run for the position of United Nations Secretary-General and became the first female Secretary-General of the United Nations, impressive, right?"

Xia Weibao listened in awe; this wasn’t just impressive—it was almost divine!

No wonder even Lu Hualiang showed respect to Yan Lingyi. Such a woman indeed deserved the respect of the entire Huaxia!

Xia Weibao couldn’t help but raise her thumb, "Impressive, impressive."

Xia Shi continued, "Even though Lady Lingyi no longer serves as President, her former subordinates and the foundation she laid in the political arena of Huaxia are all still in her grasp. That’s why Yan Fei, the youngest President of Hua Country, has such an unshakeable position!"
