When Tong Rao saw Tong Wan and Xiao Dingkun, she realized that her plan was about to fail.
While she could pressure Gu Zhaoming, who had just returned to the capital, and leverage the weakened Gu family, she knew she couldn't compete with the Xiao family, the top family in the region.
As the Family Head of the Tong Family, her primary concern was the family's interests. She wasn't willing to go to war with the Xiao Family over Gu Yang.
Still, she felt a pang of regret.
Looking at Tong Wan, who stood protectively in front of Gu Yang, Tong Rao sneered. "Alright, I won't try to take your daughter."
Turning her attention to Gu Yang, who had appeared between Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling, she added, "Gu Yang, even though you're not my daughter, you should address me as Aunt."
Tong Wan's anxiety was palpable. "Tong Rao, don't forget that we've severed ties. My daughter has nothing to do with you!"
