Li ngru had always been gentle and obedient and had never directly contradicted him so quickly, but this ti, she asked so urgently. Mr. Li was slightly displeased but still patient with Li ngru, "ngru, we were just chatting casually, and you’re so concerned about Lu Beiyao, why are you so anxious?"
Li ngru pursed her lips and couldn’t find the words to respond.
Mr. Li continued, "He’s been staying at our ho for so many days, and last night you even brought the drunk him back here, yet he hasn’t ntioned anything about marriage with you. ngru, 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 ho," Li ngru 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, ngru, 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 ngru 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 . Can you let her study abroad?"
"Are you saying that you and she are the sa?" 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 sa as her?"
Mr. Li heavily questioned, leaving Li ngru feeling completely wronged and unable to speak, "Grandpa, that’s not what I ant."
"Then what do you an 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 ticulously cultivated, is that not what you ant? Then what do you an, tell ?"
Li ngru took a deep breath and said, "No matter how hard she tries, she can’t compare to . I just think she’s pitiful, so I suggest she go out and gain so 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 cos back still the sa, 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, "ngru, have I misunderstood you?"
Li ngru 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 ngru 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 ngru 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!"
