The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 927 - 9: Let Her Sit Beside You

Zhou Mingyu pulled Li Siru outside and asked, "Tell Mom honestly, did you stay out all night until this morning? How did you even run into Lu Beiyao? Didn’t Mom tell you that Grandpa wanted you to avoid him these days?"

"I didn’t intend to run into him." Li Siru frowned, her tone carrying a defiant unhappiness. "Grandpa is always afraid I might embarrass him. Even if I didn’t show up with this big bag together with Lu Beiyao today, he’d still scold me, wouldn’t he?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zhou Mingyu remained silent. Li Siru pursed her lips and said, "You shouldn’t have given birth to me just because I wasn’t a son back then!"

"Sisi..."

Zhou Mingyu sighed only after watching her storm off in a rage.

Could it really be her fault that she insisted on having this second daughter back then and ended up unable to have more? Is that why things are like this?

But regardless of gender, they’re her flesh and blood. How could she bear to let go?

Li Mengru walked alongside Lu Beiyao for some time before she spoke, "Lu Beiyao, it’s the first time I discovered you would proactively back someone up!"

"That’s because you don’t need it." Lu Beiyao replied offhandedly.

Li Mengru chuckled, "Sisi really is a bit willful and tends to get into trouble. Thank you!"

"You’re thanking me on her behalf?" Lu Beiyao asked, turning his head.

"No!" Li Mengru shook her head. "You didn’t help my sister because of me, so of course, I have to thank you! If it weren’t for you today, Grandpa would definitely have been upset. Every time he’s angry, even I can’t stop him!"

"Seems like she’s been scolded quite a bit." Lu Beiyao murmured as if to himself.

"Hm?" Li Mengru didn’t quite catch it.

"It’s nothing!" He looked back and said, "I’m going to change and have breakfast. Are you still following me?"

Li Mengru shot him a look. "Who’s following you? My room is this way too! I’m going to change as well. See you later!"

Lu Beiyao then nodded.

Li Siru never imagined there would be someone who would stand up for her again and again. Maybe he did it for her sister’s sake!

She shook her head, not wanting to think about last night; it was just an accident!

She instinctively touched the pendant on her chest, and it dawned on her that she still owed Lu Beiyao a hefty compensation!

Sighing, she ruffled her hair in frustration and only then changed her clothes to go out for breakfast.

The Li Family always sits properly for meals; everyone must be present. Mr. Li sat at the head, the couple Li Ruhui were on one side, and she and her sister sat on the other.

When Li Siru walked past, she found Lu Beiyao sitting in the spot where she usually sat, right next to her sister.

Thinking of how the old man told her not to show up these days, it made sense that her spot was taken.

She was still pondering over it when Lu Beiyao looked up and asked, "Am I sitting in your spot?"

"It’s fine, she can sit anywhere!" Mr. Li spoke first. "Let her sit next to you!"

The servant, hearing this, added a seat to Lu Beiyao’s right, and only then did Li Siru sit down.

Everyone had already started eating when her breakfast was finally brought out. Mealtimes were always an ordeal for her, having to face the whole family. Fortunately, with Lu Beiyao there, nobody said anything to her, making this meal a bit more bearable.

Yet, she still felt a mix of emotions as she glimpsed the man eating leisurely next to her!
