The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 789 - 787 I Like to Call You Nian Nian

"Dad?" Tong Songbai mumbled these two words, momentarily lost in thought, then said, "How could I not know him? Back then, he was just a street orphan. Your mother took pity on him and brought him back as her attendant, even gave him the name Guo Qiang. So, did he give himself the surname ’Ji’?"

Ji Niandong had never heard her father speak of these things!

Tong Songbai, seeing her mood improve a bit, continued, "Do you know? Our generation uses the character ’Song.’ Ji Yang’s generation uses the character ’Ji!’ For him to assume such a surname, why don’t I recognize you as my goddaughter? You are, after all, part of our Tong Family!"

"Recognize me as your goddaughter?!" Ji Niandong was taken aback, "But aren’t you my uncle?"

"Do you think I’m your uncle?"

No!

Ji Niandong was very clear; Tong Songlin would never acknowledge her, and she indeed should not exist!

"Linlin might think you shouldn’t exist, but I don’t see it that way!" Tong Songbai said with a smile, "Nian Nian, if you become my goddaughter, as Mrs. Lu, you have rightful status, and no one would dare utter a word of gossip."

Indeed, how could Mrs. Lu be a person without a background? Although the Lu Family said not to worry, it would prevent some trouble. Moreover, she is the result of Tong Songlin’s infidelity during his marriage! Extremely embarrassing!

"Then do you want to recognize me as your goddaughter because of my mother?" Ji Niandong asked, "She can’t recognize me, so she wants you to?"

"Do you think she wants to recognize you?" Tong Songbai seemed genuinely curious about this question, "Did she say she didn’t want you, was it compelled?"

Ji Niandong’s heart was struck fiercely. She had never mentioned it, it was only her hidden hope!

So...

"Did you just say, staying in the room where she used to live, she could always come to see me or take me away, right?"

"Correct!"

But she didn’t!

Ji Niandong clearly understood the implication of these words!

"So, she really wanted to abandon me at that time?" Ji Niandong’s voice carried a hint of tears.

Tong Songbai looked slightly pained, furrowing his brows lightly, "I don’t know if she really wanted to abandon you, but I am sure she doesn’t love you that much. Whether you like it or not, Nian Nian, stay away from her if you consider me your... uncle."

Ji Niandong stood still, in silence!

"Think carefully about my proposal. Of course, if you become my goddaughter, then you can’t linger in the entertainment industry. If people find out you’re Mrs. Lu, it would affect the Lu Family, right? So, you might as well leave sooner or later, and just like with your mother and Ji Yang, I will erase every trace of you in the entertainment industry."

"Leave the entertainment industry to become the goddaughter of the Master Chief?" She murmured softly, unsure of her thoughts.

"Think it through, as long as you agree, I will announce it to the world, and then Beichen will take you back."

He turned to leave, and as he was about to open the door, Ji Niandong quickly followed. He asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"No, I don’t want to stay here!"

"Before you are certain, you can’t go anywhere!"

A threat?!

"What exactly is your purpose? Why do you want to keep me here?"

"Behave yourself! I will not harm you!" He pushed Ji Niandong back in, then closed the door, instructing the person next to him, "No one is allowed in, not even the young master!"

"Yes!"
