"Threaten me?" Tong Ji Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle, "It’s been a long time since a woman threatened me!"
He waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to drag Zhao Anqi inside. Just as Zhao Anqi was about to speak, she heard him continue, "Do you think causing a scene here will implicate me? Are you sure Ji Yang won’t come out to protect you?"
If Tong Ji Yang came out to protect her, and argued with Tong Ji Yuan, Tong Ji Yang would only be further accused of neglecting his duties.
Zhao Anqi pursed her lips, swallowed hard, pushed away the people holding her, lifted her skirt, and walked inside with her head held high.
Tong Ji Yang saw her from a distance. She was in a black strapless gown, which accentuated her fair skin, making her look as enchanting as an elf in the night. The crescent-shaped necklace on her neck added even more elegance.
Seeing her wearing the necklace he had given her, Tong Ji Yang felt much reassured.
Just as he was about to walk towards her, Zhao Anqi deliberately avoided his gaze and sat in an inconspicuous corner.
Nervously, Zhao Anqi picked up a wine glass and took a sip, all the while thinking about how to leave. As she was thinking, she saw someone standing at the door and was shocked.
Tong Lu?!
The once-famous diva in the entertainment industry, Tong Lu?!
Why is she here?!
Because of her current job, Zhao Anqi stood up sensitively.
Even after leaving the entertainment industry for 25 years, she was still so beautiful and alluring, with an added touch of grace and elegance.
But... Zhao Anqi glimpsed Ji Niandong standing frozen, looking at Tong Lu. Ji Niandong was often referred to as Little Tonglu, and seeing the two of them together, they indeed looked very similar!
The surrounding murmurs grew louder, and Zhao Anqi was even more surprised!
Tong Lu is Tong Songlin?!
The legendary eldest daughter of the Tong Family, cherished and never seen by the public, a true princess?
Ji Niandong almost fell, and Lu Sinian rushed to support her. Lu Beichen and Tong Ji Yuan both walked towards her. Zhao Anqi only felt that things were not as simple as she had imagined, but she also wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
She lifted her skirt to leave, only to see Tong Ji Yuan and Lu Beichen arguing outside and hurriedly hid to the side.
"Ji Yang asked me to bring her here. I just went to pick up Mrs. Lu. Do you think Mrs. Lu would be someone I could coerce?" Tong Ji Yuan said innocently.
"Ji Yang? How is that possible? I clearly instructed him not to bring Tongtong here!"
The man’s voice was evidently deep and calm, yet at this moment, it sounded as cold as ice, and this suave, gentlemanly man was clearly angered.
"You can ask Mrs. Lu."
After Tong Ji Yuan finished speaking, Ji Niandong’s questioning voice came, "Why didn’t you bring me here? Did you know all along? Right, how could you not know? After all, she is Gu Xiyao’s mother, Gu Xiyao’s!"
The more Zhao Anqi listened, the stranger it felt. Indeed, Tong Songlin was Gu Xiyao’s mother, so why couldn’t Ji Niandong come here to meet Tong Songlin?
Why is she so angry now?!
As they argued and left, Zhao Anqi was about to sneak away, only to turn and bump into Tong Lu, no, Tong Songlin.
Zhao Anqi tried to remain calm as she lifted her skirt to leave, but Tong Songlin caught her by the hand, "Miss Zhao, after listening here for so long, you’re just going to leave? The purpose of your visit today hasn’t been achieved yet."
"I don’t understand what you mean."
