The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 962 - 44: I Also Want to Marry the Woman I Love

He then also strode into the house, and as soon as he stepped inside, Tu Meijiao greeted him with a smile, "Beiyao, you’re back. Mom asked the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack, and it will be brought over for you to eat soon."

Lu Beiyao raised his left wrist and glanced at it, "Why are you still up so late?"

"You went to the airport to pick us up and then hurried to the company. Did something happen?" Tu Meijiao asked tentatively.

"No, it’s just normal work."

Tu Meijiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "I’m relieved that you’re so serious! Beiyao, I’m not boasting, but with your ability, you’re no less capable than Beichen. Although your uncle gave him the position of authority, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with him whenever you want. Besides, Beichen’s mind is not entirely on YT now, you..."

"Without much effort, he doubled YT’s performance. Mom, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain; I have no such intention!" Lu Beiyao said blandly.

Tu Meijiao was momentarily stumped by his words, but she felt unwilling inside, "You’re not someone without ambition. How could I not understand my own son?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"But I’m not someone who likes to compete with my own brother either."

"Do they treat us as real brothers?" Tu Meijiao complained in a low voice.

Lu Beiyao sighed, "Now, Dad is YT’s general manager, and I’m in charge of YT’s important hotel industry, which is equivalent to controlling the most important economic lifeline of YT International. Why are you so worried and not content?"

"Because you control the most important economic lifeline, you can..."

"That’s enough, Mom. If you keep talking, can I still enjoy my late-night snack?" Lu Beiyao said displeasedly, and Tu Meijiao relented.

"By the way, you’ve been staying with the Li Family for the past few days. When are you going to bring the eldest daughter of the Li Family for a visit? With our Lu Family’s status, the Li Family is nothing, but the other families don’t have suitable candidates either. The Li Family is relatively innocent, and moreover, the eldest daughter of the Li Family is a reputable socialite. I remember seeing her at a banquet once, and she was indeed very graceful. How have you thought about it after a visit to the Li Family?"

Lu Beiyao finally put down his chopsticks, and Tu Meijiao quickly said, "You can’t expect me not to worry about your marriage, can you?"

"My marriage is my own business! However, I still need to tell you something." Tu Meijiao felt slightly more comfortable hearing this from him.

But Lu Beiyao said very seriously, "I don’t want to marry Mengru."

"Why? Haven’t you been classmates for so many years? Based on that, I thought you two know each other well, and it’s not unfamiliar. Why ruin a good thing? Couldn’t be that the Li Family mistreated you these past few days, or was Li Mengru domineering at home?"

"Neither!" Lu Beiyao interrupted her, "Mom, as you said, we’ve been classmates for so many years; the fact that we’re still just classmates proves we can’t become lovers."

"But...didn’t you visit the Li Family? Besides, sometimes you don’t need feelings to be together at first; feelings can develop once you’re together."

"Just like how you calculated to marry Dad back then?"

"Why do you talk to your mom like that?!"

"I’m just stating the truth. Mom, if Dad didn’t have feelings for you and resented your scheming, do you think you’d have had a good life in the Lu Family? Or even managed to enter the Lu family’s door, living with Dad to this day?"

Tu Meijiao was momentarily speechless, everyone knew very well that although she schemed against Lu Xinguo, she was fortunate. If Lu Xinguo hadn’t had any feelings for her, no matter her scheming, given the Tu Family...she wouldn’t have entered the Lu Family. Furthermore, after that, Lu Xinguo was very affectionate and considerate towards her.

"Though you and Dad were a hit-and-miss, I also want, like Dad, to marry the woman I love!"
