The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 933 - 15: He Helped Me Again?

"Not exactly!" Lu Beiyao started to speak slowly, "The Li Family’s tea ceremony and winery are top-notch, and our YT International hotel is also top-notch, naturally, only top-notch can meet the guests’ needs. But, indeed, because of Mengru, I stayed as a guest at the Li Family for a few days."

He explained cleanly, but the last sentence was somewhat ambiguous. Li Mengru, upon hearing, didn’t know how to react.

Li Siru was even more baffled by his meaning, but... why bother to understand?!

During dinner, because Zhou Ju’an was there, Li Siru felt more at ease sitting with him. Even if she made a mistake, she felt she had someone accompanying her.

But this time, no one made things difficult for her. Mr. Li and Lu Beiyao exchanged a few pleasantries, then Mr. Li asked, "I wonder if it’s convenient for Second Master Lu and his wife to let Mengru visit the Lu Family someday?"

He spoke very tactfully, implying that since Lu Beiyao has stayed at the Li Family for so many days, it would be appropriate for Li Mengru to visit the Lu Family, thus naturally opening discussions about engagement.

Lu Beiyao understood clearly, but simply replied, "They are on vacation with my cousin!"

He didn’t indicate whether he would take Li Mengru there, and Mr. Li didn’t press further. Instead, eyes shifted to Li Siru sitting at the end, and he said, "When eating, focus on eating, don’t whisper!"

Li Siru had just whispered something to Zhou Ju’an, and yet they wouldn’t let her off!

"Grandpa, aren’t you all discussing matters? My voice is so small, it didn’t disturb anyone!" She still couldn’t change her habit of talking back.

Mr. Li’s eyes sharpened, and Li Ruhui also said, "Whispering is not presentable at all!"

Zhou Mingyu nudged her husband with her elbow, "The guest is here, say less."

"It’s precisely because the guest is here that we can’t lose our Li Family’s honor!" Mr. Li said sternly.

Li Siru swallowed, feeling that this meal would be hard to finish.

"Is the Li Family’s rule that you can’t talk while eating?" Lu Beiyao asked, "It’s stricter than our Lu Family; as long as the proper etiquette is observed, even Uncle laughs and chats with us."

He was referring to Lu Qingyuan, the man who once dominated the business world and elevated the Lu Family to the top, always graceful and elegant in everything he did.

Mr. Li replied, "I’m ashamed! It’s not that talking is forbidden, just that the girl whispers while chewing, it’s unsightly."

"I actually find the second miss quite genuine! She hasn’t lost any manners; with your strictness, I wouldn’t know how to finish this meal!" Lu Beiyao said lightly.

Li Mengru also spoke up, "Yes, Grandpa, Siru hasn’t done anything wrong; you make it so serious, how can Lu Beiyao be at ease?"

"I am old!" Mr. Li sighed, "It’s because I don’t see Beiyao as an outsider that I scold the one who’s ignorant of the rules in front of him."

His words sounded very amicable, indeed treating him as one of his own.

This comment made Li Mengru lower her head.

Li Siru glanced at Lu Beiyao silently, was he helping her just now? Thinking about it, he had already helped her twice!

When Grandpa scolded her, even sister didn’t dare to directly speak in support; every time she waited for Grandpa to finish scolding before calming his mood, others either sided with Grandpa or stayed silent, never before had someone directly spoken for her.

Li Siru kept her head down, slowly eating the food in her bowl; the meal wasn’t so hard to swallow after all!
