The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 982 - 64: Let’s Work Together

Li Mengru had always been gentle and obedient and had never directly contradicted him so quickly, but this time, she asked so urgently. Mr. Li was slightly displeased but still patient with Li Mengru, "Mengru, we were just chatting casually, and you’re so concerned about Lu Beiyao, why are you so anxious?"

Li Mengru pursed her lips and couldn’t find the words to respond.

Mr. Li continued, "He’s been staying at our home for so many days, and last night you even brought the drunk him back here, yet he hasn’t mentioned anything about marriage with you. Mengru, if word gets out about your actions, it won’t reflect well on your reputation."

"It was late last night, no one knows I brought him home," Li Mengru said, thoroughly losing her confidence after Mr. Li’s few words.

"Even though I really hope the Li Family has the Lu Family as support, Mengru, our Li Family doesn’t need to go out of our way to curry favor with the Lu Family. A woman should also have the proper reserve. Do you understand?"

Reserve?!

Is it because she was too reserved and uninteresting that Lu Beiyao...

Li Mengru nodded, "But Grandpa, I really like him, I want to..."

"Don’t say such things casually again. Speak once it’s certain," Mr. Li waved his hand, "You may go now."

"Grandpa, there’s one more thing I’d like to discuss with you. You should know that Sisi has been smart since she was a child. If she studies seriously, she could indeed be as good as me. Can you let her study abroad?"

"Are you saying that you and she are the same?" Mr. Li’s anger flared up, "Since you were young, I’ve tried so hard to nurture you, yet I’ve always ignored her. Did the young lady I’ve raised end up thinking she’s the same as her?"

Mr. Li heavily questioned, leaving Li Mengru feeling completely wronged and unable to speak, "Grandpa, that’s not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean when you say if she studies seriously, she wouldn’t be worse than you? Her poor grades in school are just because she’s not serious? That as long as she studies seriously, she can be on par with the one I meticulously cultivated, is that not what you meant? Then what do you mean, tell me?"

Li Mengru took a deep breath and said, "No matter how hard she tries, she can’t compare to me. I just think she’s pitiful, so I suggest she go out and gain some experience to avoid people saying that the Li Family’s eldest daughter is only outstanding because the second daughter has never achieved anything. If she goes out and comes back still the same, it will prove it’s due to her own dullness."

"How insecure must you be to need to prove yourself like this?" Mr. Li directly said, "Mengru, have I misunderstood you?"

Li Mengru suddenly felt a block in her heart, freezing in place.

Yes, how insecure must she be to say such things!

But now, that’s just how insecure she feels!

"Now go to the tea plantation and study properly. If I ever feel you’re so useless again, I will seriously consider whether I chose the wrong successor!"

Mr. Li said sternly. Li Minghui, standing beside, didn’t dare to make a sound. Li Mengru nodded and left, biting her lips, her eyes red.

As soon as she left, her tears began to fall. Zhou Ju’an approached and asked, "It’s usually only Sisi who suffers such grievances from Mr. Li, what’s wrong with you?"

"Perhaps I’ve never positioned myself correctly," Li Mengru instantly dried her tears and smiled, "I am the Li Family’s eldest daughter, the omnipotent eldest daughter, what’s mine is mine, isn’t it?"

"What is going on with you..."

"Zhou Ju’an, let’s work together. Sisi is yours, Lu Beiyao is mine, no exceptions!"
