The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 850 - 848: Isn’t Xi Yao Enough?

"Lu Beichen, where do you intend to take me?" Tong Songlin asked as soon as she got into the car. She tried to stay calm, but she was in a state of panic.

She hadn’t anticipated that Lu Beichen would care so much about Ji Niandong. When Lu Beichen had been investigating the events from back then, she had always feared this day would come. However, she had made thorough preparations, how could he have found out?

Just as Tong Songlin was about to speak again, Lu Beichen leisurely sat beside her; the car door slammed shut, and Li Yi drove off.

Lu Beichen’s face revealed no hint of emotion. He sat quietly, looking impossibly elegant and handsome, but all Tong Songlin felt was a chilling fear. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Lu Beichen, what exactly do you want?" Tong Songlin couldn’t hold back any longer, nervous to know his next move.

"Guess." Lu Beichen responded coolly, not even glancing at her. "I underestimated you; couldn’t figure out the reason for a long time. But I knew there was something, didn’t expect you to find help behind my back."

Did he find out who helped, and then uncovered the truth?

"So what?" Tong Songlin replied, "Back then, she had just turned eighteen, still a child, got pregnant, and came looking for you, and you ignored her. Lu Beichen, you abandoned her. I stopped you from finding her, what’s wrong with that? As Tongtong’s mother, shouldn’t I help her avoid being hurt by a man?"

"Keep talking, I want to see if you’re like Ning Zeyan’s lawyer, twisting right and wrong!"

Lu Beichen’s indifferent tone made her even more uneasy. Tong Songlin swallowed hard, "I am Tongtong’s mother!"

"Stop using those words to insult the term ’mother.’ You don’t deserve to be her mother."

"Back then, she refused to abort the child. Should I have just stood by and watched her as a young girl stray far away?"

"So you locked her in a church?" Lu Beichen glanced sideways at her, his expression as sharp as a blade.

"I was just helping her, giving her a place to stay! I..."

Suddenly, Lu Beichen turned and grabbed the back of her neck, speaking word by word, "Do you know how many nightmares she had, dreaming of a woman pleading not to be locked up? Never expected that woman to be you! Tong Songlin, if you tell me now what else you’ve done to her, I might spare your life!"

His cold demeanor seemed ready to take her life at any moment. Tong Songlin stared back defiantly, sneering, "Want my life? Lu Beichen, your Lu Family may be grand, but do you really want to go against the Tong Family?"

"Do you really think the Tong Family would back you against the Lu Family? Are you counting on Tong Ji Yuan or Tong Songbai? Who do you think is more reliable?"

Tong Songlin indeed couldn’t guarantee. Those two were engaged in a fierce struggle, eager to enlist Lu Beichen to expand their influence. Yet, Lu Beichen remained quietly moving between them, seemingly taking a side, yet always standing apart.

No way they would oppose Lu Beichen at this crucial moment for her sake!

"Gu Xiyao overdosed on pills to commit suicide, now imprisoned, yet Gu Dehai hasn’t returned. Your married life isn’t as ideal as you imagined, huh?"

"What do you intend to do to Dehai?" Tong Songlin finally panicked, "Isn’t Xi Yao enough?"
