The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 874 - 872: Trying to Leave?

Tong Songbai continued, "Your father indeed passed away due to illness. If it truly had anything to do with me, those waiting for the Tong Family to fall apart would have already found something. The reason they haven’t is because I, Tong Songbai, am indeed innocent. Tong Ji Yuan, for the sake of you being my nephew, I’ll give you a way out. But to prevent you from causing more trouble for the Tong Family, I must..."

"Do you want to do anything to me now?" Tong Ji Yuan interrupted him, and the entourage behind him stepped forward to block Tong Ji Yuan.

The conflict seemed ready to erupt, and An Lin watched with fright. She tightly hugged her daughter, startling An’an from her sleep, "Mom, where are we?"

"An’an, shall mommy play a game with you?" An Lin asked softly.

An’an rubbed her eyes, initially confused upon waking up, but upon hearing they would play a game, immediately asked, "Mom, what game are we playing?"

"Do you remember saying that when you grow up, you can take care of mommy?"

"I remember!"

"Before taking care of mommy, shouldn’t An’an learn to take care of herself first?"

An’an looked at her, not quite understanding, so An Lin continued, "See the uncle outside? He’s actually An’an’s dad. Does An’an want to be with dad?"

An’an pressed her lips together, remaining silent. Recently, Tong Ji Yuan had been instilling the idea that he was her dad, and although the child initially didn’t believe it, over time she started to accept it.

"An’an wants to be with dad!"

An Lin smiled, "Alright, mommy will go as a guest at that grandpa’s house for a few days, and An’an will stay with dad. If An’an behaves well, mommy will trust that An’an can take care of mommy in the future, and then mommy will come back to let An’an take care of her, okay?"

"Is mommy going to leave me?" An’an asked anxiously.

"Didn’t mommy say this is a game? Or does An’an feel she can’t take care of mommy?"

An’an quickly shook her head, "An’an can take care of mommy, and will take good care of herself!"

"Alright, An’an, sit obediently inside, while mommy goes with that grandpa!" An Lin held her daughter’s face and kissed it. "When mommy comes back, I’ll see how well you did!"

"I definitely won’t let mommy down!" An’an nodded earnestly.

Tong Songbai was determined to take Tong Ji Yuan away. As the two sides were entangled, An Lin suddenly stepped forward. Since everyone’s attention was away from the car, she suddenly approached, and Tong Ji Yuan instinctively reached out to grab her, only to hear her ask calmly, "Chairman Tong, are you determined to take someone away today? Then, could you take me?"

"An Lin, what are you doing?" Tong Ji Yuan shouted angrily.

Seeing Tong Ji Yuan’s reaction and recalling the past, Tong Songbai’s lips curled into a slight smile, "Miss An Lin is willing to come to my residence as a guest, I would be delighted."

An Lin nodded with a smile, "I would be honored!"

She took a step forward, and Tong Ji Yuan came to grab her arm, "An Lin, listen, go back to the car."

"If you’re taken, can I return to the car and leave safely with An’an?" An Lin asked directly.

"I won’t be taken! I’m no longer the Tong Ji Yuan of the past, won’t be taken away so easily!" Tong Ji Yuan became visibly tense.

Back then, he was quietly taken away just like that, and upon reappearing, he was meant to utterly abandon her.
