The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession

Li Siru changed into disinfected clothes and followed the nurse into Zhou Mingyu’s ward. Her room was isolated because the patient now had a fragile body with no immunity; any bacteria might have a fatal impact on her.

Li Siru entered and saw her lying on the hospital bed staring at her, "Mom?"

She held Zhou Mingyu’s hand, almost kneeling at the bedside.

"You came!" Zhou Mingyu smiled at her with red eyes, "Mom just wants to see you one last time."

"Mom, don’t say that. The doctor clearly said you can still have chemotherapy. Why don’t you want to?"

"It’s too painful; I can’t handle the torment any longer!" Zhou Mingyu closed her eyes, "Sisi, you know, every woman is nervous and happy when she becomes a mom for the first time, so I indeed favored your sister a bit more. But you are also my dear! Mom only blames herself for letting you be born into such a family and not being able to treat you well..."

"Mom, please stop saying that!"

"Mom understands; you couldn’t have harmed your sister! But Mom can’t accept that she just went like that!" Zhou Mingyu said as she cried, "The child I cherished and treasured, how could she just leave like that, letting me, an old person, send a young one away?"

"Mom was wrong! At the very beginning, when Lu Beiyao wanted to marry you, Mom should have driven that beastly creature away, so that your sister and you wouldn’t have been harmed... This is all karma!"

"Mom!" Li Siru cried uncontrollably, lying on the bedside.

"Your sister is gone, and Mom cannot stop worrying about you! Knowing the kind of life you’ve led with the Lu Family, Mom’s heart is in agony. Now that you’ve finally divorced... but Mom is worried about how you’ll manage alone after I’m gone?"

Li Siru was already sobbing incoherently.

Zhou Mingyu reached out and grabbed her hand, "Sisi, Mom’s only concern is you! I’ve thought about it, Ju An is a good kid, back then Mom also thought your grandfather intended to promise you to him. He almost lost his life saving you. Now he’s survived against all odds and returned, and you’ve just divorced! Listen to Mom, build up the tea estate with Ju An together, and in the future, the Li Family will be yours; whatever they are unwilling to give you is yours."

"Mom, no, I only want you to live!"

"With anyone else, Mom isn’t at ease, but Ju An was watched by Mom growing up, leaving you to him, Mom is assured. Mom has also hinted to him and talked to your grandfather about it; it’s all waiting for you to agree. As long as you promise Mom, Mom can leave with peace of mind."

"No! I don’t want you to leave!"

"Sisi, listen to Mom!" Zhou Mingyu was already completely exhausted.

Li Siru wiped her tears and said, "Alright, Mom, I promise you, as long as you cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. I will now get engaged to my cousin, when you are discharged, and live healthily, I will marry him. Back then, I was taken directly by Lu Beiyao, today, if I remarry, Mom, wouldn’t you want to witness it?"

Zhou Mingyu closed her eyes, replying softly after a long pause, "Okay, as long as you get engaged, Mom will comply with the treatment, when Mom is better, I’ll attend your wedding banquet."

Li Siru then burst into tears.

As she went out, Zhou Ju’an hurriedly approached and asked, "How is it? How is Auntie doing? Did she agree to the treatment?"

"As long as we get engaged, she’ll comply with the treatment." Li Siru replied indifferently.

Mr. Li also asked nervously, "Did you agree? You agreed to your mother, didn’t you?"

Li Siru looked up at Mr. Li, "You’ve always favored my cousin, but unfortunately, he is not from the Li Family. Initially, you wanted my sister to marry him, which would have been perfect. Now that my sister is gone, you hope it’s me, don’t you?"

Mr. Li was stunned; she actually guessed it!
