The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 804 - 802: After All, I Am His Daughter

His expression was somewhat serious, and Ji Niandong felt a vague sense of unease. "What is it?"

Seeing her nervous demeanor, Lu Beichen quickly said, "Chairman Tong wants to recognize you as his goddaughter!"

Recognize her as his goddaughter?! Ji Niandong suddenly recalled that Tong Songbai had indeed mentioned this before, so it’s serious?

"He is actually your... uncle. Your mother truly cannot acknowledge you, but he can bring you back to the Tong Family, as long as you’re willing." Lu Beichen paused and said, "Mrs. Lu was always meant to be you, even if you’re not part of the Tong Family, but right now there’s an opportunity. I married you, which makes it even more legitimate."

Ji Niandong looked at him; this was a lucrative deal. "Uncle? He wants to recognize me as his goddaughter?"

In her mind, she pictured the stern figure of Tong Songbai, seeming distant and imposing!

Those who were once out of reach suddenly became intricately connected to her, and she couldn’t quite grasp it all at once!

"Why does he want to recognize me as his goddaughter? Because my mom can’t acknowledge me, so he wants to make it up to me? Did my mom ask him to do this?"

"No!" Lu Beichen sighed, "Tongtong, you are part of the Tong Family by blood! But given the Tong Family’s current status, they cannot afford even the slightest flaw, and you represent a ticking time bomb to them. He’ll recognize you as a goddaughter, under the identity of Mrs. Lu."

So, she was that unacceptable flaw, and they were preemptive, making her both Mrs. Lu and Tong Songbai’s goddaughter, who would care about her true origins?

Ji Niandong swallowed hard, "Is this the only way for everyone to feel secure?"

Her question pained Lu Beichen deeply; ensuring everyone’s security, but what about her?

"Tongtong, I just want you to be unharmed!" If the bomb explodes, she would surely be the one hurt. "If you agree, it will be announced that you are Mrs. Lu and Tong Songbai’s goddaughter."

"Like announcing to the whole world, then..."

"You’ll have to leave the entertainment industry!" Lu Beichen continued with the latter half she couldn’t say, "Tong Family will do to you like what they did to Tong Lu and Lin Ji Yang, cleansing your presence in the entertainment circle completely!"

Leaving the entertainment industry to become a dignified Mrs. Lu!

This deal was a perfect solution for her, for Lu Beichen, and for everyone.

"Husband, you want me to leave the entertainment industry, don’t you?" Ji Niandong stared tightly into his eyes as she asked.

Lu Beichen did not know how to respond; acting was her passion, but if she continued in the industry, she’d forever be a topic of conversation, and if anything happened at the wrong time, her pain would multiply!

But some matters, no matter how talented, cannot be changed!

Lu Beichen nodded slightly. "I know you love acting, but I also want you to leave the entertainment industry!" He reached out to touch her face, his thumb gently rubbing her cheek several times before continuing, "Tongtong, as before with the ongoing comments of you being Little Tonglu, staying in the entertainment industry will only lead to people with intentions using you. We can block it, but eventually, even if it’s untrue, the audience will believe it."

Ji Niandong clearly understood the meaning behind his words. "I understand!" She nodded slightly, "I want to talk to Dad, after all, I’m his daughter."

"Okay!"

Just as Ji Niandong went to find Ji Guoqiang, Lu Beichen received a call from Ji Yuan.
