The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 772 - 770: It Depends on How You Define Tongtong

"Cousin!" shouted Gu Zimo from the side, and Lu Beichen nodded.

Only then did Tong Songbai smile with satisfaction and began to speak, "Thank you all for coming to my youngest son’s birthday banquet. My son is young and inexperienced. I hope everyone can look after him and be more forgiving in the future. Besides this, I have another announcement..."

Tong Ji Yang was about to stop him when he saw someone approaching and held back.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Second Brother?" Tong Songlin stood before them, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "I just noticed this young lady seemed lost, so I brought her over. She should be Ji Yang’s..."

"She is my..."

"No!" Zhao Anqi looked up at Tong Ji Yang, bit her lip several times before saying, "I made a bit of a mistake and got lost coming over with my sister." She shot Tong Songlin a glare, trying to appear as if she was unrelated. "Still, happy birthday to Young Master Tong. Is this his fiancée? She’s very beautiful and suitable. Congratulations!"

After speaking, she turned and left. Tong Ji Yang wanted to chase after her, but Tong Songbai immediately pulled him back and smoothly said, "That’s right, Zimo is a daughter of the Gu Family. Another matter today is my son Ji Yang’s engagement to Zimo. I’ll send everyone another invitation later, so remember to attend!"

Everyone present began discussing. Tong Ji Yang had just entered politics and performed outstandingly, and now he was marrying into the Gu Family. Clearly, he was securing the position of the next leader. The path was paved perfectly!

Once Tong Songbai spoke, it was decided. Tong Ji Yang sat down in a chair nearby, tightly clenching his fist. Why did she run? They had agreed so well, but she left him and even so generously congratulated his engagement to another woman?

Great!

"Everyone, sit down and eat. Let’s drink to our heart’s content tonight!"

At Tong Songbai’s command, everyone sat down. Gu Zimo sat next to Tong Ji Yang, tactfully staying silent.

Tong Songlin finally whispered beside him, "Ji Yang, I tried my best to bring her back for you!"

"I know, Aunt, thank you!"

"So...?"

"Give me five minutes, we’ll meet at the back door shortly! I promise to bring my cousin to you!" He sat calmly there, but he seemed utterly despondent.

"Alright!"

Ji Niandong had already changed clothes and returned. Last time, she knew well that those not part of the Tong Family couldn’t sit at the same table. Yet this time, she forcefully sat down with Tong Ji Yuan as his partner.

As soon as she sat down, Tong Songbai spoke, "Ji Yuan?"

"I think she’s very qualified to sit here, right, Aunt?" Tong Ji Yuan asked with meaningful intent.

Tong Songlin finally raised her head with a slight smile but never looked Ji Niandong in the eye, "You’d have to ask Second Brother, right?"

She stared directly at Tong Songbai, "Let’s see how Second Brother defines her!"

With Gu Zimo present, Tong Songbai didn’t respond to maintain face.

Yet Ji Niandong felt a chill in her heart. She had been searching for so many years, hoping for so many years, but now, even as she sat across from him, he didn’t look at her once!

"I’m going to the restroom!" Tong Songlin stood up and walked out.

Tong Ji Yang also stood up. Tong Songbai warned, "Stay here with Zimo!"

"I also need to go to the restroom now. She can join if she doesn’t mind!" He smirked coldly. Gu Zimo only smiled without speaking.

Tong Ji Yang turned and walked out. Ji Niandong said nothing, lifted her skirt, and followed Tong Songlin.

"Zimo, I apologize for that!" said Tong Songbai.

Gu Zimo shook her head with a faint smile, "It’s alright, Uncle Tong. Ji Yang has quite a personality!"
