The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 779 - 777: Am I Tongtong’s Sister?

She turned around and strode toward the back door, and Lu Beichen quickly followed. Coincidentally, Tong Ji Yang’s people had already brought Gu Xiyao over. She had almost recovered, but after all, having her stomach pumped was damaging, and being confined in the Tong Family for these past few days had left her looking extremely haggard.

Tong Songlin stepped forward and nervously took her hand. Gu Xiyao then cried out with a sob, "Mother?"

"It’s okay now! These past few days your uncle hasn’t troubled you, has he?" she asked with a frown.

Gu Xiyao, rarely seeing her mother so anxious, shook her head, "Mother, I’m fine!"

Only then did Tong Songlin let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief, pulling her inside, only to turn and see Ji Niandong and Lu Beichen standing at the door.

Tears were still on Ji Niandong’s face as Lu Beichen held her hand, the tension and heartache clearly visible on his face.

Gu Xiyao, seeing their tightly held hands, involuntarily trembled!

Back then, why hadn’t she listened to her mother and agreed to let her help marry her off to Little Uncle? Then the person standing next to Little Uncle would have been her!

Tong Ji Yang waved a hand, instructing the others to leave, and was the first to speak: "Well, if we don’t go in now, the old man will get suspicious!"

Tong Songlin spoke up first, "Xiyao, you go in with Ji Yang and Beichen, I need to talk with Tongtong."

"Mother? You know her?" Gu Xiyao asked.

Tong Songlin simply replied, "Go inside!"

Lu Beichen stepped forward to block Ji Niandong, "You’d best be careful with your words!"

"I know very well what I should say. So, please take care of Xiyao, after all, she is Tongtong’s sister."

Gu Xiyao was shocked, "What do you mean?"

"Hurry inside, hurry inside!" Tong Ji Yang pulled her in.

Lu Beichen knew that the little woman indeed wanted to talk to her mother alone now, but he was not at all reassured. While he was still hesitating about whether to leave, Ji Niandong had already said, "Could we talk alone? You go up with them first."

Lu Beichen nodded, exhaled a breath of relief, and turned around to give them some private space.

"Ji Yang, what did Mother mean just now? She said I’m Tongtong’s sister, what does that mean?" Gu Xiyao stood there nervously asking.

Tong Ji Yang was about to speak when Lu Beichen had already come over. Gu Xiyao reached out and grabbed him, "Little Uncle, what did Mother mean when she said I’m Tongtong’s sister?"

"Just the literal meaning, Tongtong is your mother’s illegitimate daughter!" he said flatly. "For your mother, it’s a scandal, so almost no one knows. Also, don’t call me Little Uncle anymore!"

"I just found out myself!"

Hardly had Tong Ji Yang finished speaking when Lu Beichen punched him in the face. This unexpected punch hit him squarely, and he called out in pain while clutching his face, "Brother Beichen, what’s gotten into you today?"

"What’s wrong?" Lu Beichen’s rage reached its peak, "I’ve told you before, Tongtong shouldn’t be here today. Tongtong has been searching for her mother for so many years, going to Paris back then was for that. Her greatest wish is to find her mother. But her mother can’t recognize her, and back then had no choice but to abandon her. How can she accept that? Originally, your aunt was going to take Xiyao back to Paris, and Tongtong would never have known that Tong Songlin is actually Tong Lu. But you just had to bring her here today!"

"I..." Tong Ji Yang couldn’t say a word.

Lu Beichen poked his chest repeatedly with his finger, "If my wife sheds another tear because of this, or anything happens, I’ll make sure you pay the full price, even if you’re her cousin!"

Tong Ji Yang stood there completely stunned.

Gu Xiyao finally spoke softly, "You’re all lying, right?"
