The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 926 - 8: Why Would He Help Her?

Li Ruhui and Zhou Mingyu, as a couple, had no choice but to say, "Sisi, show your bag to Grandpa to prove you haven’t been out messing around!"

"Yes, Grandpa, how can a girl’s bag be turned inside out casually?" Li Mengru stood in front of Li Siru, "Grandpa, Lu Beiyao just said that they met at home. Just because a bag is big doesn’t mean there’s anything suspicious inside!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Don’t speak for her. I still don’t know whether there’s anything hidden there. Won’t know until I see it!" Mr. Li walked over directly, "Mengru, step aside!"

Clutching the bag tightly, Li Siru shrank behind Li Mengru. Mr. Li’s presence was overwhelming, and after a moment’s hesitation, Li Mengru had no choice but to step aside.

"Hand over the bag!"

"I won’t!" Li Siru resisted unhappily.

"You dare defy me?!" Mr. Li was about to raise a hand when he saw Lu Beiyao standing by the door and immediately withdrew it.

Li Siru had her eyes closed, fearing the slap would come, but it didn’t. She quickly opened her eyes to see a man entering.

At that moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of relief, instinctively stepping back to stand by his side.

Her subtle action caught Lu Beiyao’s eyes, filling him with an inexplicable sense of joy.

"I forgot to thank Miss Si Ru, so I came back, but unexpectedly..." Lu Beiyao paused pointedly, "Do you not believe what I said, or... did Miss Si Ru make a mistake by entertaining me?"

"Beiyao, that’s not what I meant!" Mr. Li hurriedly refuted, "I don’t doubt you, I don’t believe..."

He stopped without finishing his sentence.

Lu Beiyao continued, "Had I known it would cause Miss Si Ru so much trouble, I wouldn’t have asked you to take me out for breakfast, sorry!"

He elegantly spoke falsehoods, leaving Li Siru momentarily stunned. "No, it’s okay!"

"It’s said the two Misses of the Li Family look quite alike. At first sight of Miss Si Ru, I recognized her due to her resemblance to Mengru, and found it a bit endearing, which is why I troubled her. Miss Si Ru indeed did resemble Mengru, both embodying the grace of ladies from reputable families, taking care of everything meticulously. Any unnecessary fault is my mistake, and I apologize!"

His words implied that because of Li Mengru, he inconvenienced Li Siru while complimenting both sisters.

Though Mr. Li felt strongly that Li Siru lacked potential, the sincerity of the compliment left little choice but to accept it.

He could only agree, "It’s my narrow-mindedness as an old man. It’s Si Ru’s privilege to entertain you. Experiencing such an event as a guest at the Li Family brings us shame!"

After speaking, Mr. Li turned to Li Siru and said, "Go prepare for breakfast!"

Zhou Mingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, leading her daughter away.

Lu Beiyao nodded, "I’ll head back to my room then!"

"I’ll go with you!" Li Mengru followed Lu Beiyao away.

Once everyone dispersed, Mr. Li said to Li Ruhui, "Lu Beiyao has been at the Li Family for so many days, not a word about the marriage with Mengru. Whenever we talk, he deflects, but now he’s actively speaking up for us on his own initiative."

"What do you mean, father?" Li Ruhui asked.

"This is probably the best for our Li Family!"

Li Ruhui looked up at his father, not knowing what he was calculating this time.
