His smile carried a hint of cunning at the corners of his eyes. Tong Songlin dared not say more; preserving Gu Xiyao’s life was crucial for now.
Lu Beichen took a step outward, then turned back and said, "Oh, by the way! Back then, Tongtong’s incident in Paris truly had nothing to do with you, right?"
Tong Songlin was startled and instinctively stepped back, "Why would you ask that?"
"Just asking!" Lu Beichen maintained a composed expression, "At the ti in Paris, when you inford to take Nian Nian away, you told she was gone! Seeing how sad and distressed you were, I didn’t question it further. I’ve always wondered, how did you know that child was mine? Why, the mont sothing happened to her, would soone find you? After all, she had sought you in Paris for so long, didn’t you refuse to acknowledge her?"
"I’ve told you about this!" Tong Songlin replied gracefully, "She ca to find ; indeed, I couldn’t acknowledge her, but I was secretly helping her all along. She is my daughter, after all. I only wished for her to return to the country soon, yet who knew she wouldn’t leave and even encountered you! After you were drugged, I heard you were looking for a girl nad Tong Nian. Later, at Xi Yao’s engagent banquet, you asked if I knew Tong Nian, and I guessed that girl was Tongtong. But by then, I couldn’t find her anymore."
"I also searched for her secretly, no less diligently than you!" Tong Songlin breathed a sigh of relief, "During your investigation, you should have found I wasn’t lying; I kept looking for her until soone said they saw her. By the ti I arrived, she had... already given birth. I sought people everywhere to save her then!"
Lu Beichen glanced at her sideways, and she continued, "At that ti, the doctors all said she couldn’t survive. I spared no effort to save her, ensured she was fine, then found soone to act as the perpetrator and send her back to the country, providing a large sum of money for her continued treatnt!"
"I hadn’t intended to keep that child, she was only nineteen at the ti, and I didn’t want her life disrupted, but since it was your child, I still sent him to you! I didn’t tell you Tongtong was alive because after waking up, she rembered nothing, as I’ve also ntioned to you!"
Indeed!
Back then, when he saw Ji Niandong was still alive in the rain, he could hardly believe it. Bringing her back, he initiated an investigation in Paris.
As the one who entrusted his son to him, she was the first person he investigated!
Truly, she had been searching for her in secret back then and indeed saved her life!
At that ti, she had told him, "Beichen, since you’ve t her again, be together properly! Don’t be entangled in the past. If she really cared about your past, she wouldn’t have forgotten you and that child! She was so young when it all happened, I’d rather she didn’t rember!"
That night, he had used force on her, which left Lu Beichen with a lack of confidence to expose her scars!
Later, Tong Songlin also got Gu Xiyao to convey a ssage: live well in the present!
But now, the present is already difficult to endure!
Lu Beichen swallowed hard, "I hope you all are genuinely treating Tongtong well; otherwise, I will not be lenient!"
Having said this, he left with large strides!
Tong Songlin relaxed, nearly collapsing onto the ground!
She went over and knocked on the bathroom door, "Alright, Xi Yao, Lu Beichen has already left!"
Only then did Gu Xiyao open the door, embracing her while crying, "Mother, I’m so scared!"
