The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 981 - 63: I Can’t Just Watch Them Be Happy

Li Mengru glanced around and confirmed that they were indeed alone, then said, "I can’t just watch them be together. Sisi is my sister, if she truly found her happiness, I would definitely be happy for her. But that person is Lu Beiyao, the man I’ve liked for so many years. Just thinking about him being with my sister, I think I would definitely go crazy."

She spoke without reservation, and Zhou Ju’an paused in silence before responding, "I’ve never seen you like this before. I’ve also been with Sisi for so many years, our feelings are strong. Lu Beiyao, this man, has clearly been with you for so long, and suddenly reached out to Sisi." He paused, "I’m not trying to disparage Lu Beiyao, but why is he still entangled with your sister when he knows you like him?"

That sentence directly struck Li Mengru’s heart with such pain!

Yes!

He clearly knows that she likes him, and they were even considering marriage, yet he suddenly started fancying her sister without warning?

How cruel and ridiculous is that?

Li Mengru took a deep breath and said, "I’ll go back and beg Grandpa to let Sisi study abroad. Do you want to accompany Sisi?"

"Do you really naively think this plan will work?" Zhou Ju’an said with some surprise.

"What else can I do?" Li Mengru countered, what else could she do?

"Mr. Li’s purpose of letting me help at the tea house is obvious!" Zhou Ju’an said calmly, "You’re going to marry Lu Beiyao, and the Zhou Family naturally needs a successor. I grew up in the Zhou Family almost from childhood as you said, and I’m Mr. Li’s chosen son-in-law. He’s letting me help at the tea house to train me; why would he let me go abroad with Sisi? Then if you marry, what happens to the Li Family?"

"I’ve thought about these things, but..." Li Mengru said, clinging to her last hope, "Even if I marry Lu Beiyao, I can help manage the Zhou Family. Moreover, with the support of the Lu Family, the Zhou Family will only get better. Cousin, how would you know it’s impossible without trying? I’m going to see Grandpa now!"

She seemed to gain more courage from this impulsive momentum.

Zhou Ju’an was about to call out to her but saw she had already run off. In the end, he could only stand there with a slight frown.

Mr. Li was settling accounts with his son when Li Mengru suddenly barged in, causing him some displeasure.

"Why have you become so reckless?" Mr. Li directly scolded, "Or do you really not want the position of the eldest lady?"

Li Mengru opened her mouth but eventually lowered her head and said obediently, "Grandpa, I have something I want to discuss with you." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Go ahead," Mr. Li waved his hand, focusing on the ledger.

Li Mengru shut the door, glanced at her father, and said through gritted teeth, "Grandpa, what did Lu Beiyao talk to you about earlier?"

Only then did Mr. Li look up at her, "You knew Lu Beiyao talked to me?"

"The household servant encountered it," she answered truthfully.

"When did the Li Family get such gossiping servants?" Mr. Li threw the item in his hand onto the table, expressing his displeasure.

Li Mengru instinctively stepped back, then clenched her fists and said, "In any case, Grandpa, what exactly did he talk to you about?"

"What does what we talked about have to do with you? There are so many matters at the tea house now, what makes you have the time to linger here?"

"But Grandpa, if you aren’t talking about my matters, who else’s matters would you be discussing?"
