"This is quite complicated!" Tong Ji Yang frowned thoughtfully, "You know Gu Xiyao’s mother is my aunt, right? Gu Xiyao tried to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills and ended up in the hospital, so my aunt Tong Songlin, who I hadn’t seen in decades, ca back from France. Not sure what past grievances these siblings had, but as soon as she got back, the old man secretly brought Gu Xiyao into the Tong Family. My aunt ca to ask for her back, and he said either they go back to Paris or she’s not getting anyone. My aunt wasn’t having it!"
Tong Ji Yang shook his head, "The old man is afraid of getting exposed by my aunt, worried the dia will find out!"
"Why afraid of the dia?" Ji Niandong beca more curious, "Miss Tong has always been quite mysterious, only her na is known but she’s unseen. Is a princess-level figure not allowed to be seen in public?"
"She’s been too visible!" Tong Ji Yang waved his hand, "That’s all in the past! Back then, when I was ssing around in the entertainnt industry, it was because I wanted to emulate my rebellious aunt. But before it even began, the old man killed it in the cradle saying it would bring sha to the Tong Family. Anyway, never mind. In short..." He snapped his fingers, "On my birthday, I’ll dress up my Little Anqi beautifully and wait for Tong Ji Yuan to pick you up!"
"Thank you, Miss Ji!" Zhao Anqi expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"Why call Miss Ji, call sister-in-law!"
He nudged Zhao Anqi, who elbowed him back, then shouted, "Sister-in-law!"
Ji Niandong almost burst out laughing, Tong Ji Yang emphasized, "Don’t tell Brother Beichen first. If he finds out I have you accompany Tong Ji Yuan as a date, he’ll beat up. Even if he wants to beat , it should be after it’s all done."
"Got it!" Ji Niandong couldn’t help but glare at him.
...
Soon it was Tong Ji Yang’s birthday!
Lu Beichen went with Lu Sinian to attend, Ji Niandong sat on the sofa silently waiting for them to leave. She sat there watching them, looking very lonely and pitiful.
Lu Beichen couldn’t help but sigh, "Why don’t we go public? The whole world knows I’m married, yet every ti I attend an important event, Mrs. Lu is missing. I wonder what others think of ."
His tone carried a hint of grievance, Ji Niandong ignored it and changed the subject, "I heard Gu Xiyao’s being held at the Tong Family. Did you know?"
"Who told you?" Lu Beichen asked, with a hint of suspicion.
Ji Niandong shrugged, "When Gu Xiyao was hospitalized, it was known by everyone. She’s not in the hospital now, so of course, I’d know."
"Did you visit her in the hospital?" Lu Beichen beca increasingly tense.
"Why do you look like you’re scared I’ll go see her?" She stood up muttering, then went to pour herself so tea.
Lu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily!"
"What do you an luckily?" She happened to hear with her sharp ears.
"Luckily she was taken away! I’ve said, she’s no longer my niece, and her matters are none of our concern. You don’t need to visit her anymore." Lu Beichen couldn’t help but say, "Tongtong, stay away from her from now on."
She knew his eagerness to clarify was to prevent her from overthinking. But now, she indeed wouldn’t overthink anymore, "Got it, husband! By the way, can you promise sothing?"
"What is it?"
"You’ll find out later!" She blinked without saying more.
As Lu Beichen was about to speak, Little Bun, already changed into his outfit, ran out of the room, "Mom, do I look handso?"
"My son is the most handso in the world!" Ji Niandong hugged him and couldn’t help but give him a kiss. Lu Sinian, with his soft pink complexion and having inherited their excellent genes, was indeed very good-looking!
Little Bun’s face looked even more satisfied, as he rarely took the initiative to hold Lu Beichen’s hand, "Let’s go, Dad. Bye, Mom!"
"Goodbye!" Lu Beichen held his wife and gave her a kiss.
