The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession

Li Mengru was completely frozen!

The incident occurred suddenly that night, and she heard Li Siru repeatedly calling Zhou Ju’an. Lu Beiyao was indeed flustered at the time, and he said many hurtful words to her that day.

But after calming down, he realized that many things didn’t add up!

She had no reason to do this, especially since she didn’t even like him!

If it were really as Li Mengru said, even if she didn’t like him, why would she do this in such a situation?

"She said someone drugged her, so who was the one who drugged her?" he asked Li Mengru, scrutinizing her with his gaze.

Li Mengru stepped back, unclear whether she was crying or laughing, "Lu Beiyao, even now, do you still believe her? We’ve known each other for so many years, and you don’t believe me? Do you suspect me?"

"You suspect me?" she asked again in disbelief.

He was about to speak when Zhou Ju’an smartly approached, putting his arm around Li Mengru and said, "Mr. Lu, you came just in time. Mengru and I are about to get married soon. You’re welcome to join us then!"

"You two are getting married?" Lu Beiyao was somewhat surprised.

"Lu Beiyao, don’t you believe that I’m being framed?" Li Mengru pushed Zhou Ju’an away and said, "Lu Beiyao, I will prove to you that what I said is true!"

She ran off crying, and Lu Beiyao reached out and grabbed Zhou Ju’an, "You were the one who drugged Sisi, weren’t you?"

"Lu Beiyao, if you hadn’t insisted on locking me out that day, Sisi wouldn’t be yours now. Don’t act innocent after taking advantage of the situation!"

"Was it really you?" Lu Beiyao let out a cold laugh.

"Don’t randomly suspect anyone!" Zhou Ju’an pushed away his hand, "You’re not any better. You knew Mengru liked you, you knew your purpose in coming to the Li Family, but you still clung to Sisi. Only the two sisters would be deceived by you, Lu Beiyao. If you still want to shirk responsibility, then you’re truly not a man!"

Zhou Ju’an cursed and turned to leave. Lu Beiyao directly asked, "You were the one who messaged me that night in Sisi’s name! Did you deliberately make me rescue her?"

"You’re overthinking it. How could I predict when you’ll arrive, exactly when the effects of her drug would last until you came? Now that you’ve gotten the person you like, why dwell on how you got her?"

Lu Beiyao was slightly stunned. It wasn’t about how he got her, it was about her not liking him...

"I just said I’m going to marry Mengru, so don’t hesitate and marry Sisi. This will sever Mengru’s feelings for you," he said, walking towards Li Mengru’s room.

Li Mengru was almost in collapse, sitting in her room, dazed and staring blankly.

Zhou Ju’an pushed the door open and entered. She grabbed something nearby and threw it at him, "Get out, Zhou Ju’an, you will die a miserable death, you all will!"

She was in a complete mess, her room chaotic, no longer looking like a young lady of stature.

Zhou Ju’an was patient, went over and took what she was holding, then held her shoulders down to control her, "It’s come to this. Lu Beiyao will marry Sisi, and I will marry you!"

"Get out!" Li Mengru screamed.

"In this state, you don’t have the demeanor of a lady at all. Even if Lu Beiyao didn’t marry Sisi, it wouldn’t be your turn!"

"Zhou Ju’an, I want to kill you, to kill all of you!" she repeatedly chanted, "Why do this to me, didn’t you say you liked Li Siru?"

"It’s true I like her because she’s the only one who cares for me like I do for her, the only one who truly sees me as her cousin!" Zhou Ju’an said calmly, "Though your uncle adopted me, gave me the surname Zhou, he never saw me as a son. I wasn’t in the Li Family long before being sent there. I found out when I grew up — because your mother didn’t have a son, an agreement with the Li Family was reached to solidify your mother’s status, perhaps I’m considered a foster son-in-law?"

He looked up and laughed three times.
