“What friend?” Su Bei pointed a slender finger at herself.
“Ahhhh, it’s you?!” Xiao Bai exclaimed.
Qiao Mei also smiled. “Su Bei, you’re really amazing!”
“I did paint this. But the one that was auctioned last night is my friend’s work.”
“Ahhh, all your friends are crazy talented,” Xiao Bai kept screaming. “You’re crazy talented yourself.”
Su Bei smiled. “I wonder if what Mr. Qian said is true. What if he’s just saying it casually or he’s a swindler?”
“That’s easy. Get someone to find out more about him,” Qiao Mei said. “I have paparazzi friends. I’ll have a report ready for you soon.”
...
At the Lu family’s mansion.
Ever since Han Qingwan left to live outside, only Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu were left. The mansion was quite deserted.
Today, it was exceptionally lively.
Old Master Lu personally stood at the door to welcome the guests. It was obvious how important they were.
“Brother Fu, how have you been?” Old Master Lu patted the shoulder of the old man opposite him and laughed.
Old Master Fu also laughed out loud. “Brother Lu, long time no see. You’re still strong despite your old age!”
When the two old men were young, they shouldered guns together and defended their country. Naturally, their relationship was stronger than any other.
The two of them became a little sad after talking for a while. “Out of the group of us who fought on the battlefield together, we’re probably the only ones left.”
“That’s right. The old squad leader and the others were older than us, after all,” Old Master Lu said emotionally. “Let’s not talk about these sad things. Since we met today, we have to have a good drink with each other.”
Old Master Fu laughed. “Good! Good! By the way, Jia Jia, come and greet Grandpa Lu!”
“Hello, Grandpa Lu.” A graceful young lady walked out from behind Old Master Fu. She was outstanding and beautiful.
“Jia Jia, you’re already so grown!” Old Master Lu looked at Fu Yujia and felt a little emotional. He couldn’t help but feel that he owed the Fu family. “Back then, when we were young, we even made an arranged marriage. Who knew that my daughter would be so disappointing and fall for that brat from the Huo family? Later on, we decided to have our grandchildren marry, but Heting let Jia Jia down again.”
Fu Yujia quickly said sensibly, “Grandpa Lu, this isn’t Heting’s fault. Love is about mutual consent. We can’t force him.”
Her sensible behavior naturally made Old Master Lu feel even guiltier. “Sigh, Heting has been used to making his own decisions since he was young. At that time, his grandmother was seriously ill, but he still refused to... Forget it, forget it. I’m happy today. Let’s not talk about those things. Please come in!”
Old Master Fu and Fu Yujia recalled that at that time, Old Madam Lu was seriously ill and had made a dying wish for Lu Heting to get married. Lu Heting would rather choose any woman from an aristocratic family than Fu Yujia.
This was an embarrassment for the Fu family. In addition, at that time, the Fu family’s business shifted overseas, so in a fit of anger, the entire family went overseas. They left for several years.
However, this was their hometown, after all. Old Master Fu could not completely forget about this place. In addition, S Country had been growing stronger and stronger in the past few years, and the Fu family had a deep foundation here. They recently returned to S Country.
As soon as they returned, they hurriedly came to visit the Lu family.
As soon as Fu Yujia entered this familiar place, countless feelings welled up in her heart. She used to love going to the Lu family’s residence since she was young because of Lu Heting.
Unfortunately... he would rather marry anyone else than be casually perfunctory with her.
He had said that if he were to marry according to his family’s wishes, it would make no difference to him who he married.
However, it was precisely because the Lu and Fu families had a good relationship that he was unwilling to destroy the relationship between the elders, so he couldn’t marry her.
At the thought of this, Fu Yujia couldn’t help but feel sad.
“Jia Jia? Jia Jia, it’s really you!” Old Madam Lu was pleasantly surprised. She came forward and held her hand. “I haven’t seen you for a few years. You’ve become prettier and thinner. Why? Are you not used to eating foreign food?”
“No, I’m very used to eating it. I missed you too much, Grandma Lu.” Fu Yujia hugged Old Madam Lu sincerely.
Old Madam Lu couldn’t help but feel sad. “You used to like coming over here, and you were always the best at making people happy. While you were away, I was extremely lonely. You finally came back.”
“Doesn’t Weijian come back often?” Fu Yujia avoided asking Lu Heting.
“Him? He just plays games all day. When he comes back, he stays up late and plays games. I find him an eyesore. Even if he’s not around, I’m happy to have peace and quiet. You’re the best. You’re quiet and sensible. You won’t leave this time, will you?”
“Yes, I’ll stay and help my parents with the company. I won’t leave.”
“Good. That’s good.”
Then, Old Madam Lu pulled her to sit on the sofa. The four of them reminisced.
The topic inevitably shifted to Lu Heting. Old Master Fu hesitated and said, “I heard that Heting is already married. I saw some entertainment news last time. That girl seems to disguise herself as a man?”
Lu Heting had always kept a low profile in the past. Even financial magazines didn’t know about him. Now, he often appeared in entertainment magazines. Old Master Lu was already unhappy about it, and now that Old Master Fu mentioned Su Bei disguising herself as a man, he felt even more embarrassed. “That child is just fooling around.”
“The entertainment industry is a mess. It’s understandable that young people like those things.” After saying that, Old Master Fu picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.
In the past, Old Master Lu was a soldier, and his family was an aristocratic family. He had always been strict with his family, especially after the matter of his son having an affair with someone in the entertainment industry. He hated the people and things in the entertainment industry even more.
Now that Old Master Fu mentioned it, he really felt uncomfortable.
Although he loved Da Bao and Gun Gun now, so he didn’t interfere with Lu Heting and Su Bei, it didn’t mean that he was satisfied with Su Bei.
Hearing Old Master Fu’s words, he picked up his teacup and drank it awkwardly.
When Old Master Fu and Fu Yujia saw this scene, they immediately understood that the Lu family was not satisfied with Su Bei. They only agreed previously probably because they couldn’t dissuade Lu Heting.
The grandfather and grandchild were quite satisfied to see this. They originally thought that the matter had already been settled, but who knew that there would be such a turn of events?
Fu Yujia said gently, “Grandpa Lu, you personally raised Heting. He naturally has his limits. Even if he takes the wrong path for a moment, it’s inevitable. No one is perfect. I believe he’ll quickly see the truth and not let you down.”
