"Dad?" Tong Songbai mumbled these two words, momentarily lost in thought, then said, "How could I not know him? Back then, he was just a street orphan. Your mother took pity on him and brought him back as her attendant, even gave him the name Guo Qiang. So, did he give himself the surname 'Ji'?"
Ji Niandong had never heard her father speak of these things!
Tong Songbai, seeing her mood improve a bit, continued, "Do you know? Our generation uses the character 'Song.' Ji Yang's generation uses the character 'Ji!' For him to assume such a surname, why don't I recognize you as my goddaughter? You are, after all, part of our Tong Family!"
"Recognize me as your goddaughter?!" Ji Niandong was taken aback, "But aren't you my uncle?"
"Do you think I'm your uncle?"
No!
Ji Niandong was very clear; Tong Songlin would never acknowledge her, and she indeed should not exist!
