The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 963 - 45: The Li Family Has Another Second Young Lady
Marry the woman you love?
Tu Meijiao, upon hearing him say this, quickly asked: "So, does this mean you have someone you like?"
With Lu Beichen’s son almost ready to join the world, upon hearing him mention someone he likes, Tu Meijiao felt a surge of delight. This was genuinely the first time she had seen such a moment.
"When I do have someone, I’ll naturally bring her back for you to meet." Lu Beiyao responded casually.
So does this mean there isn’t someone?
Tu Meijiao felt a pang of emptiness in her heart, Lu Beiyao couldn’t eat anymore and got up to return to his room, with Tu Meijiao following behind him, saying: "Beiyao? Even if you don’t have someone you like, try getting to know the eldest daughter of the Li Family. Although you’ve known each other for many years, you’ve only considered her to be a friend. Perhaps interacting with her from a different perspective might lead to a different outcome. Besides, looking around, where else can you find a suitable young lady worthy of your affection? Even though the Li Family isn’t a major family, at least in New City they hold their ground and have a clean family background."
Lu Beiyao stopped and turned to look at his mother, "Doesn’t the Li Family have a second daughter?"
What?!
After speaking, he continued into his room leaving Tu Meijiao stunned, and by the time she’d snapped out of it, she was already shut outside by her son. She knocked on the door, "Beiyao, you mustn’t act recklessly, I hear the second daughter of the Li Family is uneducated and has achieved nothing, not even the Li Family takes her seriously. Marrying someone like this will not only fail to help you but become nothing short of a laughing stock."
There was no reply from inside the room, Tu Meijiao spoke again, "Did you hear me?" She was desperate and finally controlled her breath to continue, "I know you were just speaking casually, forget about marrying Li Mengru, I’ll inquire further to see if there are any other suitable girls out there. It’s not that I’m urging you. Both you and Beichen are not young anymore, but at least he already has a son..."
Tu Meijiao knew her son wouldn’t respond anymore, so she finally walked away.
Li Siru hadn’t slept much last night, so in the morning, with dark circles under her eyes, as she went to breakfast, Mr. Li asked: "Is your work at Yi Tai very busy?"
Mr. Li seldom shows concern for what she does, let alone speaking so calmly in a way that was almost caring towards her.
Li Siru quickly replied: "It’s alright." She hesitated a moment, "But, Grandpa, I want to resign."
Mr. Li looked up at her, suddenly slammed his chopsticks on the table.
The whole family paused, setting down their chopsticks and daring not to eat, causing Li Siru’s heart to tighten in anxiety.
"You’ve only been working for a few days? Beiyao took great pains to find you this job, usually careless but now you want to embarrass us outside, cause trouble for others?" Mr. Li reprimanded sharply.
Li Mengru felt uneasy too, promptly saying: "Yes, Sisi, why all of a sudden do you want to resign?"
"I..."
"I don’t care what your reasons are, you must continue to work hard!" Mr. Li asserted first, "Do you think Yi Tai is a place where you can just join and leave as you please? Do you really want others to see you as someone who can’t manage to do anything well, half-heartedly quitting?"
"I don’t intend to quit halfway." Li Siru answered quietly.
"How come you don’t intend to quit halfway yet you want to resign? Have you realized you can’t handle it? Useless thing, always feeling others look down on you!" Mr. Li grew increasingly intense.
Li Siru almost stood in protest but remained seated decorously, then said: "I can handle it, I will do a good job!"
"Then do it well, let the Lu Family know, the second daughter of the Li Family is indeed capable."
"Wasn’t it you, Grandpa, who let everyone know the second daughter of the Li Family is useless?" Li Siru retorted with her head down.
