Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1071: You’re the Simp, Not Me

Tang Li hurried to the hotel and went upstairs to the room.

The bride-to-be was carrying a child with an unknown father, and the groom-to-be almost became the person who takes over something. Such an unexpected situation turned the engagement banquet into an unmanageable farce.

In the presidential suite, close relatives from both the Yu and Cheng families were gathered.

Tang Li pushed open the slightly ajar door and happened to hear Mother Yu’s shrill yelling: "How is it not his responsibility?! If he hadn’t taken our Suisui out that night, would our Suisui have ended up like this?!"

"You’re simply being unreasonable!" came another female voice: "Isn’t it normal for a couple to go out for a midnight snack? Besides, it was your daughter who insisted on going, and Feibai saw she drank too much and got her a room. She wanted to sleep with a wild man; who could stop that?!"

"What do you mean she wanted to sleep with a wild man?!"

Seeing both sides about to fight, the relatives hurried forward to stop them.

At this moment, Yu Sui was not in the outer room.

Tang Li bypassed the chaos between the two families and went straight inside.

Unlike the noise outside, the master bedroom was exceptionally quiet.

In a dress, Yu Sui sat by the bed, softly sobbing, accompanied by a family elder. As for the groom-to-be, he was hunched over on an armchair, silent, without casting a glance at Yu Sui, who was crying her eyes out.

Tang Li was about to knock, but someone beat her to it.

Mother Yu, in high heels and with a forceful presence, stormed into the master bedroom.

She grabbed Fei Bai’s shirt and pulled him up by force: "Feibai, your mother is being unreasonable. Tell her yourself, even if Suisui really has another man’s child, you’re willing to marry her!"

Before she finished speaking, her hand was already flung away.

While Mother Yu was still stunned, Cheng Feibai spoke first: "Enough!"

At this point, Mrs. Cheng also came in.

Seeing her son being ’bullied’, how could she possibly let it go: "Li Xinglian, don’t push us too far! Yes, your husband is the General Manager of the Export-Import Bank, overseeing national enterprises’ international trade cooperation, so what? Does being a general manager allow you to force someone into this sort of indignity? Even under the Emperor’s feet, is there no justice?!"

"Under the Emperor’s feet, indeed." Mother Yu laughed in her anger: "Back when you two went everywhere begging for the arranged engagement, why didn’t you say the free lunch was hard to swallow?!"

This successfully infuriated Mrs. Cheng.

"Listen, everyone, listen!"

She pointed at Mother Yu, her words full of accusations: "Is this how the Yu family treats their son-in-law?!"

"Auntie." Yu Sui stood up nervously.

Just as she was about to speak again, Mrs. Cheng interrupted her: "Suisui, don’t blame Auntie for being harsh, but as things stand, I can’t allow Feibai to marry you into the Cheng Family."

"This matter should still respect the children’s own wishes."

The younger aunt from the Yu family tried to mediate.

Hearing this, Yu Sui instinctively looked at Cheng Feibai.

However, Cheng Feibai held onto his suit and never gave her a look.

Understanding the situation, Tang Li interjected: "For the groom, this marriage was supposed to be a stepping stone to great heights. With such a utilitarian purpose who could expect much genuine affection?"

"Who are you?" Mrs. Cheng was the first to notice her.

Tang Li wore a baseball cap and mask, only her eyes were visible.

Recalling something Song Jingtian once said, Tang Li copied it verbatim: "Can’t I enjoy the spectacle?"

Mrs. Cheng: "..."

Among the Yu family relatives, Mrs. Cheng had never seen this person before.

Yet it was clear she was targeting the Cheng Family.

Realizing this, Mrs. Cheng naturally had an unfriendly demeanor: "The affairs between our two families are not for outsiders to judge!"

But Yu Sui recognized Tang Li.

"Ah Li." Driven by grievance, she even blew a bubble in her snot.

Tang Li: "..."

Tang Li ignored this and looked at the groom-to-be: "I heard you’re a top student from H University’s Astronomy Department. Indeed, a third-tier college graduate doesn’t match up to you."

Yu Sui: "???"

But Cheng Feibai clutched tighter to his suit.

Tang Li continued: "Clearly a grown adult, yet your life’s most important matters have to be arranged by your parents. For the sake of family business, you had to learn from a young age to please others, and even now, you’re expected to gladly become a father."

These words were nothing less than sowing discord.

Even if they were all facts.

Mrs. Cheng could see clearly now, this was really just someone enjoying the chaos!

Before she could drive her out of the master bedroom, her son spoke up: "Let’s call off this marriage."

The master bedroom was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Cheng Feibai finally turned to look at Yu Sui, "Yu Sui, this marriage to you is neither what I wanted nor what I desired. I feel quite tired over these years."

"Now, it’s time to end it."

Upon hearing these eight words, Yu Sui’s eyes reddened again.

She barely cared about her smudged eye makeup and tried to persuade Cheng Feibai: "But we’ve always been fine. If you find me bothersome, why would you have taken every opportunity to tutor me since we were young? Plus, all your friends like me; they all say we’re a good match."

"Do you think we have anything in common?"

Yu Sui stammered.

Cheng Feibai continued: "When we talk about star systems, you don’t even know if the sun is a star or a planet; when we went to the mountain to watch meteor showers, you brought a children’s telescope."

"I bought it by mistake." Yu Sui explained.

Cheng Feibai turned his head away, not looking at her anymore: "I hope my wife is also my soul-mate, not just some clueless sweetheart."

Finishing his statement, he didn’t plan to stay any longer.

However, just as he turned, a slender figure blocked his path.

A cup of tea was also thrown in his face.

Tang Li placed the white porcelain cup on the TV cabinet, speaking slowly: "Don’t worry about germs, I got it from the coffee table outside. At most, those few drank from it; apart from a lump of phlegm, there’s nothing else."

Cheng Feibai: "..."

Mrs. Cheng almost screamed like mad at seeing the phlegm clinging to her son’s hair.

For a moment, the room was in chaos.

Tang Li took the opportunity to drag Yu Sui away.

In the elevator, seeing Yu Sui still sobbing, Tang Li handed her a tissue.

Yu Sui wiped her eyes, and the tissue turned black instantly. She flipped it and blew her nose, then murmured: "Indeed, you can’t be a brown-noser; in the end, you get nothing."

Saying this, she sniffled and envied Tang Li: "Ah Li, you’re still the lucky one."

Tang Li: "..."

She felt the underlying implication.

Concerned about her reputation, she quickly drew a clear line: "You are the one who is a brown-noser, not me, thank you."

"What are you pretending for?" Yu Sui retorted: "I’ve seen your love-stricken face, standing at Yunqi Villa, with hearts in your eyes and almost drooling."

Tang Li: ...found herself unable to refute.

"That was admiration," she decided to correct her image.

Yu Sui: "I don’t believe it."

As she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.

Tang Li caught a side glance and saw Kang Yunxi.

At this moment, the elevator stopped at the third floor, which was the restaurant’s private dining area.

With Kang Yunxi was a well-maintained woman in her fifties.
