CHAPTER 502: 463 PERHAPS WE WERE REALLY WRONG (4000 WORDS)_3

"How much longer are you going to twist the truth!"

Xiao Ziyan’s voice interrupted her sternly, "Do you really have to wait until the little girl dies with Song Xiangqiao before you’re willing to admit your mistakes?"

Song Lili took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and then confessed,

"Although the situation was urgent, it wasn’t my first time dealing with this kind of situation. I’ve executed similar missions in the military before, and I know how to make the criminals back down."

Seeing Song Lili like this, Xiao Ziyan got even more irritated,

"Wen Nian, I’ve told you before that when you marry, you should choose someone who matches your social status, someone educated and sensible, not someone who thinks they’re invincible just because they’ve served in the military for a few years!"

"Aunt Xiao, can you speak without being so aggressive?"

Song Lili locked eyes with Xiao Ziyan.

"You’re so capable, so why did you still let the child fall into danger?!"

"..."

Song Lili clenched her fists so tightly that her back teeth ground together.

"No one wanted to see this happen. With Song Xiangqiao intending to harm others, anyone would have been unprepared."

Wen Nian held Song Lili’s hand and pulled her to his side,

"Lili is also heartbroken. Despite how horrifying the words she spoke on the rooftop might sound to you, they indeed hit Song Xiangqiao’s weak spot, causing her to let the child go at the last moment."

"If you came here this late not to comfort Lili or to visit Xiaonian, then please leave. Lili and I are both tired."

Wen Nian had clearly given the signal to leave.

"Enough."

Wen Liangyu spoke up.

Wen Nian fell silent, letting Song Lili sit down as well.

Wen Liangyu turned to Pan Qin and said,

"Xiao Pan, go wait outside."

"Alright, sir."

Pan Qin agreed and then withdrew slowly. Song Lili’s eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Pan Qin leave.

"No matter what, Song Xiangqiao is still the Vice President’s wife. Your father just called the hospital to inquire; she’s still in the operating room and hasn’t been out of danger."

Wen Liangyu said,

"The Vice President had his child at an old age. Now that the child is gone and his wife’s life hangs in the balance, Zhuo Ting, with his temperament, will certainly lay the blame on someone."

Song Lili raised her eyebrows slightly, finding Wen Liangyu’s words rather curious.

Did the old man really care about her and Wen Nian as he claimed?

"If you and Zhuo Ting completely fall out, the current political landscape will inevitably split into two factions in a short time: your side, Wen Nian, and Zhuo Ting’s side."

"I understand. I believe the Vice President is not so superficial."

Wen Nian said calmly.

"I came here to remind you not to forget this possibility. Prepare early to avoid such a standoff."

Wen Liangyu spoke seriously.

"Grandfather, I understand. Thank you for the reminder."

Wen Liangyu glanced coldly at Song Lili,

"Don’t look at me with such doubt. Wen Nian is my own grandson, and even if he is terribly unfilial to me, I still regard him as my grandson."

"..."

Wen Nian was momentarily taken aback.

Song Lili fixed her gaze on Wen Liangyu, "If Elder Wen truly thinks and acts as you say, I too would be very comforted."

"I also came today to see my granddaughter. I don’t know if you’d be willing to let this grandfather have a look at his granddaughter?"

Wen Liangyu asked this with a hint of mockery in his tone. It was clear without a doubt that Xiao Ziyan must have mentioned the incident of her being prevented from seeing the child.

"If Elder Wen asks so kindly, of course, I won’t obstruct."

Song Lili responded,

"Just give me a moment, I’ll go and bring Xiaonian down."

Having said that, she went upstairs.

In the hall, taking advantage of Song Lili’s absence, Xiao Ziyan hurriedly said to Wen Nian,

"Xiaonian, this Song Lili is not ordinary. She truly brings endless disasters. Such things can even happen in the President Mansion; I can hardly imagine the future..."

"Mother, you’re overthinking it."

"I heard that Prince Chiluo from M country is also here?"

Wen Chou asked Wen Nian.

"Yes, Prince Chiluo came to attend the full moon celebration. Father, would you like to meet him?"

"Not today, maybe another time. Nevertheless, this prince from M country is a foreigner after all, and we should still be cautious."

"I understand."

Wen Chou stood up and walked over to Wen Nian,

"Your mother said... that you now refuse to recognize us because of Lili, and it is our own fault. Your grandfather and I have been reflecting these past days... Perhaps it was wrong to let you leave home and your parents at such a young age..."

"..."
