Chapter 99: Chapter 96: Wait and See

Forgive her for letting her imagination run wild—why did they have to match her bone marrow? Was she the only one in the Li Family? Could it be that there was something different in her blood compared to others? A blood mutation?

Thinking of this, she shook her head and suddenly thought of how her body had consumed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit. Could it be? Had some relevant authorities discovered it? Was she going to be caught and turned into a lab rat?

Oh my god! Just the thought of it sent chills down her spine! She rubbed her cold arm, contemplating the possibility of her suspicions!

The shrill ring of the phone suddenly went off, startling Li Si, who was deep in countless possibilities. Could it be Deng Hui calling again?

Picking up her phone, she saw it was Brother Leng, letting out a sigh of relief and answering with a smile all over her face.

"Brother, what made you think of calling me?" Her words involuntarily carried a tone of gentleness, though she didn’t notice it herself.

"Just finished work, girl, what are you up to?"

Li Si heard the sound of Leng Mochen flipping through files on the other end, "Swinging! By the way, brother, someone named Deng Hui called just now, wanting to meet me for a talk, but I refused! Also, he said money wasn’t an issue, and I could ask for anything!"

"Girl, have Old Wang bring you to the company! I have something to tell you!" Leng Mochen’s tone was somewhat strange.

"Alright, see you in a bit!" Li Si, puzzled, wondered why her big brother seemed off—what exactly was going on?

Carrying a belly full of curiosity, Li Si went straight to the company’s general manager’s office.

Leng Mochen saw Li Si pushing the door open and coming in, instinctively closing the file he had been reviewing.

"Girl, have a seat!"

The two sat on the black leather sofa in the reception area, creating a momentarily quiet atmosphere.

"Brother, what’s up that you wanted to talk about at the office?"

Li Si smiled and said that even if Brother Leng hadn’t called, she wanted to find him for a meal and discuss her suspicions.

Leng Mochen looked at her, his expression a bit solemn, "Girl, there’s something you should be mentally prepared for!"

Her heart skipped a beat because when people usually say that, it’s certainly bad news underneath!

"It’s okay! Just tell me, brother!" She didn’t know why, but there was a strong sense of unease in her heart!

"This morning, Jiang Feng sent back news that they found your mother, Tian Yaruo!"

She excitedly grabbed his arm, her face full of eagerness and yearning, "Really? Brother, where is she now? Is she doing well? When can I meet her?"

"Listen to me first! Girl, Tian Yaruo has remarried and given birth to a boy! That child now has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant!"

Leng Mochen genuinely didn’t want to tell her the truth, wanting to hide it but not having the heart to keep her in the dark. After all, this is the girl’s family!

"What did you say?"

Li Si asked in a panic. Was he telling the truth? That woman has remarried and had a child! And most crucial of all, the child needs a bone marrow transplant?

Leng Mochen nodded lightly in resignation. When he first learned the news, he reacted the same way—with disbelief and disappointment!

Li Si’s mind was now in chaos; it was like being struck by a bolt of lightning! How could there be such a coincidence in the world! Could it be that Deng Hui was sent by her to ask for bone marrow? After so many years of no news, reaching out to her suddenly was all for her bone marrow? Was her son the only one considered her child, and she was nothing?

"Don’t cry! Calm down!" Leng Mochen, feeling sorry for her, wrapped her in his arms.

Li Si mechanically touched her cold cheeks—no wonder he told her not to cry. Unknowingly, her face was already covered in tears.

"Brother, can you tell me this news is fake, please? How could it be true? I’m looking for my mom! This can’t be my mom, right! Jiang Feng must have made a mistake, definitely! Brother, have him keep looking. My mom might have changed her name; this person is definitely not her!"

Li Si yelled, crying. How could her mom be like this? The mom she imagined at least had a gentle smile and warm hug!

"This is true, girl, don’t deceive yourself! I had someone track and investigate Deng Hui’s background; he’s the assistant to the chairman of Ye Group, and the chairman’s wife is Tian Yaru—Tian Yaruo’s sister! Now don’t you understand?"

Li Si covered her face with her hands as tears flowed through her fingers, feeling waves of cold all over her body and a strong, hidden pain in her heart!

Now looking back, her thoughts were so naive, innocent, and pitiful! Initially, she hoped to find her mom, reunite, spend time traveling together as mother and daughter, wearing matching clothes, and taking lots of photos...to make up for a lifetime of missing a mom!

Was it all just a daydream she was narrating to herself? Now hearing this result, she’d rather have continued living in her fantasies—at least there she had hope and desire, instead of being crushed by harsh reality!

What is this now? They’re offering 300,000 yuan to buy her bone marrow? To cut off their so-called blood ties? Or does she not care about the existence of Li Si as her daughter at all? No matter if she’s doing well or not?

"Brother, what do you think I should do?" Li Si was very conflicted. If her bone marrow could successfully match and save a life, could she steel her heart to be indifferent? She could do that for a stranger, so what about him?

However, their approach was really hurtful—going in circles, playing with ambiguity. Are they afraid she’ll recognize her?

Leng Mochen patted her shoulder, "For now, this matter is just our speculation; there may still be some misunderstanding! Better to wait and see what happens next!"

Li Si nodded; for the time being, that was all she could do. In the unknown situation, she could only hold her position by staying calm!

North City University.

Li Si was attending a self-study class in the third-floor classroom when a middle-aged female teacher appeared and called her to the department chair’s office.

Upon entering, she saw a middle-aged woman in a purple dress, looking pretty yet arrogantly sitting on the coffee-colored leather sofa. She was sizing Li Si up from head to toe. Li Si felt uncomfortable because the gaze was too direct.

The department chair, Wang Zhaohua, who was wearing a dark suit, stood up from behind his desk and warmly said, "Are you Li Si? Please have a seat!"

Li Si followed his instruction and sat opposite the woman, "Director Wang, what did you want to see me about?"

"Today, there’s something to discuss with you! This is Miss Tian from a charity foundation in Beijing; she learned that you’re preparing to donate bone marrow and came to express her gratitude! Li Si, we didn’t expect you to have such a high level of awareness. Our department is proud of you! I’m planning to mobilize our department to promote your exemplary action!" (To be continued.
