Capítulo 777: Chapter 777: Shouldn’t Be Discarded After One Use

A servant knocked on the study door and after getting no response, called out “Councilman” twice.

In the bathroom, Lai Wenyan let go of Jiang Yiniing and straightened his clothes, he wasn’t desperate enough to disregard everything, after all, they were at home, and if the servants noticed something, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t reach Ouyang Qian’s ears.

Having been abruptly interrupted, Jiang Yiniing felt dissatisfied.

Just when success was in sight…

However, she noticed that Lai Wenyan had no intention of continuing and did not cling further.

She understood that being overly persistent would just result in disdain from a man.

Before leaving, Lai Wenyan gave Jiang Yiniing’s pert buttocks a pinch, “Wait for me to go out, then come out a few minutes later, don’t let the servants see you.”

This pinch sent a sweet shiver through Jiang Yiniing’s heart.

This gesture from Lai Wenyan was telling her there would be plenty more opportunities in the future.

The servant was about to knock again when she saw Lai Wenyan come out of the bathroom nearby, and immediately called out “Councilman”, and respectfully said: “Miss Tang called, she said she has something to tell you.”

Lai Wenyan approached and picked up the cordless phone.

Meanwhile, he dismissed the servant, “If there’s nothing else, you can go downstairs.”

After the servant left, Lai Wenyan returned to the study.

He placed the phone to his ear, and Tang Li’s voice came through: “Dad, I recalled something very important, I forgot to mention it yesterday.”

As Lai Wenyan just sat down behind his desk, he heard Tang Li mention the author of “Original Sin” wanted to adopt her as a goddaughter: “While I was shooting in Shangbu, I met Teacher Xu Yuan, she often visited the set, and later mentioned that she and her husband never had children, so they wanted to establish this good connection with me.”

Previously, Lai Yuaner took on the film adaptation of “Original Sin”, Lai Wenyan had heard of the author and knew her husband was Wong Yangming.

Wong Yangming was not a stranger to him.

The man was a professor at Huangyan Military Academy and held the military rank of Major General.

Speaking of which, Song Baiyan was a graduate from Huangyan Military Academy.

“I haven’t forgotten the words you said,” continued Tang Li on the other end. “Teacher Xu Yuan told me that her husband used to be your teacher, and if I became their goddaughter, it could potentially cause trouble and inadvertently implicate the entire Lai Family, so I did not agree.”

Hearing this, Lai Wenyan almost cursed “Fool”.

With conditions like the Wong Family’s, many people would beg to be their daughter.

In Lai Wenyan’s view, accepting this connection was like gaining something valuable for nothing.

The Lai Family would then establish a relationship with the Wong Family.

Even if the Wong couple wasn’t politically active, their family could not possibly lack such connections. Once Tang Li became their goddaughter, with them not having children of their own, they would undoubtedly treat Tang Li as their own.

In time, if Tang Li needed help from the Wong Family, since they had become god-relatives, the couple naturally could not refuse; they would have to ensure everything was well-handled.

Thinking this, Lai Wenyan asked Tang Li, “You refused them?”

“Teacher Xu Yuan told me to consider it further, and since I’m staying at my uncle’s place, she asked me to consult your opinion.”

Lai Wenyan promptly replied, “Then agree to it.”

However, he didn’t mention the benefits but changed the reason, “They like you, and it’s also a fate between you and the Wong Family, we’ll talk specifics when you get back.”

Tang Li stood by the roadside, after listening to Lai Wenyan’s words, she slightly curved her lips, “I’ll listen to dad.”

Lai Wenyan was contemplating something, and she could somewhat guess.

As for the phone call interrupting Lai Wenyan’s good time—

If certain things are too easily obtained, they also become easily uninteresting, having invited someone to the house, one should not let Lai Wenyan have his way just once and then discard him.
