Tong Ji Yang was completely at a loss for words when confronted by him, and it took him several seconds of silence to stamr, "You’re scolding him like this, is it because you are really involved in this matter?"
"Is that the only wicked thing he has done?" Ji Guoqiang shouted, clearly not wanting to talk to him further, "Like father, like son, who knows if you are the sa! Oh, I rember now, back when Tongtong was filming, wasn’t it you who spread rumors about her? She’s your sister!"
"How could I know she was my cousin?" Tong Ji Yang quickly retorted, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have teased her! No, when I found out she was Brother Beichen’s wife, I stopped teasing her!"
Ji Guoqiang looked at him with disdain and fell silent.
"Sit!" Tong Songbai gestured politely to Lu Beichen.
"There’s no need to sit. You should be very clear that I’m here only to take my wife away," Lu Beichen said directly, his eyes locked onto Tong Songbai like an eagle, entirely devoid of his usual calm elegance, resembling a lion ready to fight at any mont.
Tong Songbai maintained his serious deanor, "No need to be so tense. Since you’re being so direct, there’s no need for to beat around the bush. Beichen, you’ve seen Jiyuan’s actions. Bringing him down would be effortless for ; however, he is my nephew, and I can’t ignore his pride."
"It’s not that you can’t ignore his pride, but rather, his father’s death is suspected to be linked to you, and now if sothing happens to him because of you, public opinion can be quite terrifying," Lu Beichen said slowly.
Tong Songbai’s gaze tightened slightly, then he smiled and stood up, "Everyone says you’re more capable than your father was back in the day, and it’s true! I always prefer dealing with smart people. I, too, regret your father’s early demise, and Jiyuan is too obsessive, unwilling to believe his father indeed died of illness."
Lu Beichen suddenly thought, even Lu Qingyuan had said after secret investigations that Tong Songqing had indeed died of illness; could it really be just that?
"Ji Yang will definitely be the next leader, and I won’t allow any mishaps. I called you here today hoping you can support Ji Yang. With you and the Zhu Family’s backing, plus my assistance, no matter what Jiyuan does, it won’t matter."
"So, you’re taking Tongtong away to have help Ji Yang?" Lu Beichen’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "You’re not the kind of person to use a woman as a threat, are you?"
"No, I’m not using Tongtong as a threat, but I’m paving a clean path for Ji Yang and also preserving Tongtong’s life!" Tong Songbai said with serious earnestness.
"Preserving Tongtong’s life?" Lu Beichen frowned, puzzled.
Tong Songbai spoke up, "Beichen, let’s make a deal. Help Ji Yang, and I’ll announce to the world that I recognize Tongtong as my goddaughter, thereby ensuring Jiyuan won’t dare harm her, and her status will be worthy of being your wife, Lu Beichen."
Lu Beichen looked up at him, indeed it was a profitable deal, especially since he had originally planned to assist Tong Ji Yang, but, "Why do you want to do this? And why would Tong Ji Yuan want to harm her?"
Lu Beichen chuckled lightly, "Tong Ji Yuan was the first to co to , telling that after you took my wife away, she had a miscarriage, and you haven’t ntioned this matter until now."
"If you think I’m the one causing Tongtong’s miscarriage, you wouldn’t be here talking to so much, would you?"
Lu Beichen’s words were clearly a reminder that soone from Tong Ji Yuan’s side was by his side, a realization that Tong Songbai heard clearly.
"She suffered a trauma five years ago, and the doctor said she might have habitual miscarriages." Lu Beichen said word by word, "If you hadn’t taken her away, I could have been by her side at the earliest mont!"
