The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 879 - 877: I Want Her Back

Ji Yuan let out a light laugh, "You’ve always just watched me oppose you, yet you also carry this burden. So when I got into this mess, you didn’t lash out at me harshly, precisely because of this."

He spoke in a very certain tone, "In the past, now, you and Father have both been shielding Tong Songlin, but she repeatedly went overboard, not only causing my mother’s death but also indirectly causing Ji Yang’s mother’s death."

"Ji Yang’s mother died because of me, Jiyuan, don’t make wild guesses!"

"If these are just guesses, then how could she in Paris be so ruthless to Ji Niandong, almost driving her to death, isn’t it because she detests you?"

"What are you saying?!" Tong Songlin was extremely shocked! Suddenly recalling what Tong Songlin had said, "That’s right, I wish Xi Yao had run her over to death!"

So, she really hated her to the core, hated to the point that she even loathed her own child conceived in her womb for ten months, loathed to the point of wanting her dead?

"Are you not clear? I admit back then I wanted to confirm if Ji Niandong was your illegitimate daughter with her, deliberately getting someone to leak information to Ji Niandong, urging her to go to Paris to find Tong Lu, but I didn’t expect Tong Songlin to be so cruel as to harm her own daughter. If it weren’t for my timely intervention, she would have lost her life! I didn’t intend to harm her, but it’s true that she was harmed because of me!" Ji Yuan handed the pistol he pulled out in front of Tong Songbai, "Shoot me, and ensure An Lin and An’an’s lifelong safety!"

His firm and resolute tone left Tong Songbai speechless. After a long pause, he finally asked, "At this moment, you’d rather die to protect that woman?"

"She is my life!" Ji Yuan swallowed a breath, "Now that she is in your hands, it’s like my life is also in your hands, whether I die sooner or later, what’s the difference?"

Tong Songbai assessed him for a while before speaking in a low voice, "Jiyuan, your father’s death truly had nothing to do with me. I won’t take your life, nor will I return An Lin to you now!"

"So, you’re keeping An Lin to save Tong Songlin’s life? You admit she killed my mother, afraid I’ll seek revenge on her?" Ji Yuan was a smart man, quickly understanding his intention, "You truly are infatuated!"

"I am not infatuated!" Tong Songbai said flatly, "Whatever she did to Tongtong, I need to investigate thoroughly. Besides, she is still Tongtong’s mother, her life and death shouldn’t be for us to judge, but for Tongtong."

Ji Yuan let out a cold laugh, "As you wish! She has committed numerous evils, if I don’t take action against her, others will, can you stop them besides me?"

After saying this, he took a step back and bowed to Tong Songbai, "Uncle, please let me take An Lin away, I promise to stop my actions, and I will not fight for anything with Ji Yang."

His sudden words left Tong Songbai a bit stunned, somewhat in disbelief and a little unaccustomed. He just looked at Ji Yuan, hesitating to respond.

Ji Yuan stood up and said, "I’ve been fighting all along to avenge my father, only to find out in the end I was being used. Over these four years, I’ve neglected both the person I love and my daughter. Even if my father had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn’t wish for this. I’ve always believed the patriarch’s position should have been my father’s, but thinking back, my father wasn’t in good health from early on, the old man might not have pinned his hopes on him. So, can you return An Lin to me?"

"Jiyuan, I can’t guarantee!"

"What I said is a promise!" Ji Yuan said earnestly, "Besides, I have a daughter to take care of!"

If it weren’t for his time with An’an, how could he have felt the simplest joys, so wonderful that only now he realizes, all he truly desires is family, and even his insistence on revenge is no different!

Tong Songbai remained silent for a moment, then nodded!
