The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession

Actually, when Ji Niandong is at home, Sister Zhou simply buys what she needs and brings it over, not letting her cook. Seeing that she seems a bit bored, Sister Zhou doesn’t insist on helping, as they’ve been together for quite a while and she’s familiar with Ji Niandong’s temperament.

Not needing help truly means she doesn’t need it; besides, she wouldn’t fuss about thinking she’s Mrs. Lu!

Sister Zhou remains cautious and silently slips a pregnancy test stick into Ji Niandong’s pocket. While they tidy up the refrigerator together, she quietly asks, "Have you been unusually sleepy lately, or noticed any changes in your appetite?"

After asking, she feels maybe it’s too soon!

Ji Niandong was originally distracted, but upon hearing this, her attention was caught, "Lately, it seems I really fall asleep as soon as I lie down and nap several times a day. Is there a reason for this?"

She thought she was just too bored!

After hearing this, Sister Zhou feels it might indeed be the case, "We’ll find out after the test later."

Ji Niandong nodded, feeling a bit better, and firmly stuffed the pregnancy test stick into her pocket.

"By the way!" Sister Zhou frowned tightly, unable to hold back saying, "I heard that Mrs. Lu and Young Master Bei Yao are really getting a divorce this time."

Ji Niandong was startled, how could this be? Could it be because of Liu Xinyu? Her first reaction was to think of her; Liu Xinyu was demanded to be excluded from the entertainment industry, and she would inevitably seek support from Lu Beiyao. Could it be because of this that my sister-in-law resolutely decided on divorce?

She reached out to grab Sister Zhou’s arm, "Is there another commotion? How come there’s no sound this time?"

"I also find it strange; the previous divorce fuss was uproarious, but this time it’s very calm. Moreover, the second lady hasn’t said a word, seeming to accept it silently. But, you know, although the second lady doesn’t like the first lady, she..."

But, she also doesn’t want her son to go through a divorce, and she surely wouldn’t stay silent without any reaction. What exactly happened?

Ji Niandong was somewhat worried, "Sister Zhou, thank you for telling me. I’ll call my sister-in-law now to ask her."

"I knew you were close to the first lady, that’s why I told you." Sister Zhou was also a bit worried, "Then I’ll go prepare lunch."

Ji Niandong nodded, walked away directly, and dialed Li Siru’s number. The call went unanswered for a long time, and just when Ji Niandong was about to hang up, she heard a faint, "Hello."

The voice was so frail it seemed nonexistent, and Ji Niandong suddenly recalled the scene when Li Siru had drunk herself into a stomach hemorrhage. She asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, where are you now? Are you alright?"

A soft laugh came from the other end, "Tongtong, only you are the first to care about how I am."

Ji Niandong felt a pang in her heart, feeling more sadness and concern, "Sister-in-law, what exactly happened? I’ll come to you now, are you at home?"

"Don’t come!" She quickly replied, "Tongtong, please don’t come, okay? I just want to be alone and quiet. I’m fine, I won’t be foolish enough to hurt myself again, but I want to be quiet, to think things over alone."

To think what I’ve fallen to this situation for!

Listening to how she spoke, Ji Niandong became even more worried, but since she had said so, she could only reply, "Alright, then let me know right away when you need someone to be with you, to talk."\p>

"Mm, I know."

She ended the call, furrowing her eyebrows tightly as she casually sat on a nearby chair. Lu Beichen came over upon seeing this and asked, "What happened?"
