The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 980 - 62: Do You Really Like Him That Much?

She directly asked the question so bluntly that Li Siru felt flustered like a guilty thief, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Li Mengru replied timely, "Lu Beiyao is just like that. He always likes something new, but once the novelty wears off, it won’t matter. If he makes you uncomfortable, don’t take it to heart."

"I understand, sister. I’m not uncomfortable." She gave two dry laughs, "Sister, you know what my dream is. Bartending isn’t my passion. I originally just wanted to find a decent job and do well, but now I find doing something I dislike every day really annoying, so I don’t want to do it anymore."

"Is it really just that?"

Li Siru only felt that her gaze was incredibly piercing, as if any lie she told would be immediately exposed.

She nodded firmly, "It’s just that, it has nothing to do with... with my brother-in-law. But sister, could you talk to my brother-in-law and let him approve my resignation? After all, he brought me in, and it would look bad if I left so soon."

Li Mengru smiled slightly and poked her forehead with her finger, "You know that it would look bad, yet you still cause trouble. I’ll talk to your brother-in-law, don’t worry."

She paused for a moment, then added, "But Sisi, about you going abroad, I’ll also try to discuss it with Grandpa. If Grandpa really doesn’t approve, at worst, I’ll use my savings to let you go abroad. Grandpa won’t be mad at me."

Li Siru nodded, "Thank you, sister."

Only then did Li Mengru softly smile, "I’ll head to the teahouse now."

"Sister!" She called out to her, "Do you really like Lu Beiyao that much?"

Li Mengru was slightly taken aback, "Why are you asking this? I’m about to marry him; how much do you think I like him?"

"But... didn’t you say he likes novelty, and such a man you also..."

Before she could finish, Li Mengru interrupted her, "Everyone likes novelty. We are curious about the unknown, but once the curiosity is satisfied, we still return to the people and things we care about most. And I am the one he cares about the most. Once his novelty wears off, he will always come back to me. That’s why we’ve been together for so many years."

Is that so?

Li Siru stood there slightly stiffened! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I’m heading to the teahouse now!" Only then did Li Mengru close the door and leave. As she went out, she heaved a heavy sigh. If only things were really as she said, but clearly, she didn’t even have that much confidence.

...

All the way to the teahouse, her expression remained grim, which Zhou Ju’an noticed immediately. Recently, they’d been helping out at the teahouse together, becoming quite familiar with each other.

As soon as Li Mengru walked over, Zhou Ju’an asked, "Earlier, what did Lu Beiyao say to you?"

Thinking about it made Li Mengru’s face even grimmer. She didn’t respond, so Zhou Ju’an continued quietly, "Do you know? He talked with the old man for a long time. Do you think he might have mentioned Sisi?"

Li Mengru was completely taken aback, "When did this happen?"

"He left after lunch, chasing after Sisi, and met the old man halfway."

Li Mengru gave him a once over, "Weren’t you sitting with me the whole time? How do you know?"

"There are so many servants at home, of course someone saw and gossiped. I just happened to overhear, plus, haven’t I told you, now we are both in this difficult situation, so I also care about their matters."

"Cousin, what do you think we should do?"
