Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 372: My Daughter Is Growing Up

Several burly men looked in the direction she pointed, and through the floor-to-ceiling glass, they saw only a crowd of fans holding signs, surrounding and escorting several people out. There were too many to see clearly who was there.

One of the burly men said, "Big brother, shall we go in and check?"

"What for!" scolded the "boss" as he kicked the burly man, "Did you leave your brains at home or what?! Don’t we have Tang Li’s photo on the cellphones, take it out and compare!"

Tang Li: "..."

The "boss" of the burly men took out his cellphone, compared it with the Tang Li right in front of him, and after confirming, he sneered darkly, "The Councilman said Miss Tang is cunning and told me to be cautious, he’s not without reason."

Hearing the title "Councilman," Tang Li already guessed who it was.

The "boss" opened the car door, "The Councilman asked us to take the young lady home."

Forty minutes later, the van stopped in front of the Lai Family’s gate.

Having not been here for several months, Tang Li felt nothing but unfamiliarity.

When she stepped into the villa, Lai Wenyan was sitting in a wheelchair on the phone, all smiles.

The moment Lai Wenyan saw Tang Li, his smile faded, then he hung up the phone, "Since you’re back, go upstairs and get ready. You’re coming to the state banquet with us tonight."

Before his words fell, Lai Yuaner’s voice came from the top of the stairs, "Dad, which dress do you think is nice? I want to wear the black one, but mom won’t let me."

Lai Yuaner wore a bunny headband with her hair in a bun, dressed in high-quality coral fleece loungewear complemented by pink cotton slippers, exuding an innocent charm that was hard to dislike.

Seeing Tang Li as she descended the stairs, she thought to herself how unlucky, but remembering her mother’s reminder, she directly brought two haute couture gowns into the living room for Lai Wenyan to help her choose.

"Ah Li is here?"

Tang Li turned around and saw Ouyang Qian coming downstairs too.

Ouyang Qian gave a faint smile, "The evening gown has already been placed in your room. If you don’t like it, there’s still time to have them bring a different one."

Hearing this, Tang Li smiled as well, "It doesn’t seem quite right for me to attend the state banquet with dad and aunt’s family."

"When I say to go, you go. Why make extra fuss!"

Lai Wenyan cut off Tang Li’s words, "We have less than an hour, go change your clothes immediately. Do you expect the three of us to wait for you?"

"You and the child just can’t speak nicely," complained Ouyang Qian to her husband, then turned to Tang Li, "Take your time; the stylist is upstairs. Let them help you get ready."

In her past life, Tang Li never attended any state banquets. Now, Lai Wenyan tracked her whereabouts and had her brought back from the airport just so she would attend. It all felt very eerie.

Being an illegitimate daughter, she really shouldn’t be at such a formal event.

Tang Li was not without self-awareness.

Lai Wenyan regarded her as a stain, yet suddenly he changed his attitude and wanted to take her to a gathering of politicians and celebrities.

Back in her room, she stared at the clothes on the bed for half a minute.

In the end, she chose to roll with it.

Since she could attend the state banquet, she wasn’t without anticipation; after all, Song Baiyan would also be there. As time went on, he would get busier, and she didn’t want to miss any chance to see him.

Ouyang Qian and Lai Yuaner got ready and went downstairs first.

Lai Wenyan looked at Lai Yuaner and felt the emotion of his daughter growing up, "Taking you out like this, I’m afraid I’ll end up attracting seventeen or twenty suitors!"

At that remark, Lai Yuaner blushed with shyness.

She ran over and leaned on Lai Wenyan’s shoulder, "I want to accompany you and mom, at least not getting married for ten more years."

"Then you can stay a few more years. Your grandma would be the first to be reluctant to let you go. Without you stirring things up at home, your mom and I won’t be used to it."

"You always spoil her!" Ouyang Qian teased her husband with a smile.

At this moment, the sound of high heels walking came from upstairs.
