The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 758 - 756 Happy Cooperation
The corridor in the back yard of the hospital was empty, and Tong Songlin looked at Tong Jiyuan standing in front of him, scrutinizing him closely.
Finally, he couldn’t help but smile, "If your father had been half as decisive as you are back in the day, you wouldn’t have to go to such lengths now. Spreading a false rumor and then covering it up yourself, not bad!"
Tong Jiyuan stood in front of her, still serious and with a hint of coldness. This child seemed to have a deep-seated indifference, "Aunt, you must be joking. Father was too indecisive back then, which is why he ended up like that. If I’m not decisive now, how can I reclaim what rightfully belonged to my father and me, and avenge him? I know I shouldn’t have calculated against you like this. That’s why I came to the hospital at once to formally apologize to you."
"Giving a slap and then a sweet date, you’re quite like your uncle now. I wonder how that child Ji Yang is doing." She spoke lightly, as if she were really just sighing, "You’re simply trying to tell me that you hold leverage over me, asking me to cooperate with you."
"It’s not just leverage, Aunt. Have you forgotten the things I helped you with back then? Oh, that might count as leverage too! What if Lu Beichen found out about it? As for Ji Yang..." Tong Jiyuan’s indifferent face showed a mocking smile, "He once tried following your old path into the entertainment industry and had numerous scandals with Ji Niandong. It was even said that they spent a night at a hotel..."
Tong Songlin’s expression changed, and Tong Jiyuan continued, "However, they claimed they were just playing games! Ji Niandong is now Lu Beichen’s wife and probably wouldn’t casually get involved with other men, but other men might not have the same scruples!"
"What do you mean by this?" Only then did a displeased expression appear on Tong Songlin’s face.
"I mean nothing by it. Aunt, I’m just reminding you not to make any more jokes..." He took a step forward and whispered, "My father died just like that. Don’t you bear any responsibility? Even if you don’t want to avenge my father, don’t you hate Tong Songbai?"
Tong Songlin’s beautiful face showed a trace of coldness, even the corners of her eyes were icy, and despite careful maintenance over the years, she couldn’t control her emotions upon such a mention, "Heh~ Jiyuan, you are indeed a master negotiator. If I still don’t help you, that would be unreasonable. But, having disappeared for so many years, would Tong Songbai still care?"
"If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t have banned all news and reports related to Tong Lu, and the video I spread of Ji Niandong searching for her mother was quickly suppressed by him." Tong Songlin smiled faintly, "You know, even Lu Beichen couldn’t find out it was me after all this time, five years ago and even now. So, Aunt, don’t you believe me?"
"I just want to know, what’s in it for me?" Tong Songlin asked flatly.
At her words, a satisfied smile appeared on Tong Jiyuan’s lips, "Once it’s done, I promise no one will ever disturb your life again, allowing you and Uncle to live peacefully together, and even enhancing Uncle’s status within the Gu Family."
"Deal!"
"I believe Tong Songbai will soon come looking for you, so you should be mentally prepared! I have other things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first, Aunt!" He politely nodded slightly, then turned and left.
When Lu Beichen arrived at Ji Guoqiang’s residence, they were having dumplings. He Meijuan saw him coming and happily opened the door to greet him, "I’m not sure what’s up; the child’s father has been acting odd since he woke up this morning. Tongtong came to talk to him, and the two have been silent, quietly eating dumplings. Beichen, I’ll serve you some, and you can go take a look."
He Meijuan whispered and then turned to head towards the kitchen.
