The token pressed there?
Li Siru hurriedly asked, "Did you lose my pendant?"
"I’ve seen you lie before, but it’s the first ti you’ve been so skillful. You took it yourself, and now you’re blaming for losing it?"
"Lu Beiyao, that was my grandmother’s heirloom. How could you lose it?" She took a few steps toward him, "You reek of alcohol. Don’t tell you drank without money and pawned my pendant?"
She didn’t seem to be lying. Lu Beiyao frowned and asked, "Didn’t you bring to the Li Family last night?"
"You’re the one who’s confused, right? Last night, I left you by the roadside, how could I have brought you to my house?" Li Siru swallowed a breath, "Lu Beiyao, I’d have to be insane to pawn sothing like that to you! Tell , where did you lose it?!"
"It wasn’t you who brought to the Li Family, then who was it..."
"What are you two doing here?" Mr. Li appeared just in ti. Li Siru turned around to greet him, then glared at Lu Beiyao and walked straight to her room.
Lu Beiyao didn’t have ti to explain everything. Mr. Li directly stated, "Beiyao! It’s rare for Sisi to have you taking care of her these days."
"It’s my duty." Lu Beiyao replied, "However, may I ask you, Sisi and ngru each have half of a pendant, which I heard was an heirloom from their grandmother?"
When this was ntioned, Mr. Li paused for a mont, nodded, and said, "Their grandmother doted on Sisi when she was alive. She didn’t care about the Li Family’s rules at all, saying we don’t value Sisi, but she did. Sisi was raised by her grandmother, and she treasures her grandmother’s keepsakes dearly. How co, did she show you it?"
Then how could she easily pawn such a precious item?!
Seeing that he was silent, Mr. Li continued, "Beiyao! This second granddaughter of mine is indeed not valued by the Li Family. It’s always been our family’s rule to pass to males, not females, and if there are no males, then to the eldest. It’s admirable that you’re treating her well, but it seems it’s mainly for ngru’s sake."
Lu Beiyao stepped back and bowed to Mr. Li, "I apologize!"
"Why are you doing this?!" Mr. Li was slightly surprised.
"When I first ca to the Li Family, I indeed had the intention of forging a marital alliance. But despite knowing ngru for so many years, we have always been just acquaintances. So, during all these days at the Li Family, I never ntioned anything about getting engaged to ngru."
Mr. Li slightly frowned; indeed, his handling of this matter was wrong because he never addressed it despite having no intention, which ca off as extrely indifferent and disrespectful.
Lu Beiyao continued, "But, if possible, could you give Sisi to ?"
Mr. Li gave him a surprised look, "Are you sure?"
This reaction was beyond Lu Beiyao’s expectation. He squinted slightly, "It seems you’ve known for a long ti that I have feelings for Sisi?"
Mr. Li raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
Lu Beiyao chuckled, "As expected of soone who single-handedly built up the Li Family! You didn’t express any opposition, you even let Sisi go to work with Yi Tai, so you tacitly approve. Then, you purposely made things difficult for her in front of to see how I’d react?"
Mr. Li smiled, "You’ve been at the Li Family without ntioning getting engaged to ngru at all, which made anxious. Since you always remained so indifferent, I couldn’t very well insist, as if I were selling my granddaughter. But suddenly, you beca enthusiastic about Sisi’s matters, which I couldn’t help but question. However, Beiyao, given your status, ngru marrying over would already be an honor for our Li Family, I admit. But for Sisi, will your family allow her to marry in smoothly?"
"As long as you don’t oppose and Sisi, the rest is my business!"
