Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1742 Why Can’t I Know Her?

“I’m not too sure about that. You might be more experienced, so you’d know more about it,” Su Bei retorted with a smile.

Lu Tianqing looked at her outfit and asked, “Could it be that you’re here to attend He Consortium’s business banquet?”

She did not know Su Bei’s identity. Recently, there had been rumors in the He family that Lin Xiruo’s daughter had returned. Many people were itching to know who it was.

However, with Lu Tianqing’s identity, she wasn’t qualified to enter the core group of friends from He Consortium, so she had never even heard of Su Bei’s name. How could she think that she was that young lady?

In particular, Su Bei was dressed in a low-key manner today and deliberately hid her sharp edge. In Lu Tianqing’s eyes, she looked like she had been abandoned by Lu Heting.

“Yes.” Su Bei did not hide it.

“Do you have an invitation? Why don’t I bring you in?” Lu Tianqing asked with a smile.

Knowing that He Consortium and Lu Group had never done business together, the He family probably wouldn’t have casually invited Su Bei. That was why Lu Tianqing deliberately asked.

Although she said she wanted to bring Su Bei along, she was just showing off her status.

In S Country, she had to respect the Lu family, but here, she felt like she was the master.

Even in front of He Jiang, she could still say a few words.

He Yuan had always let her be. Seeing that she was playing with Su Bei, he just watched from the side.

“Huh, I don’t think I have an invitation,” Su Bei remembered and said in frustration.

Lu Tianqing smiled and said, “Then you might really have to let me bring you in.”

“Okay,” Su Bei agreed.

Lu Tianqing did not expect her to be so straightforward. She did not doubt Su Bei’s intentions at all.

However, Lu Tianqing did not have any ulterior motives. She just wanted to show off in front of Su Bei.

Seeing that Su Bei really wanted to go in with her, Lu Tianqing pursed her lips slightly. If she really brought Su Bei in, wouldn’t she be letting her off easy?

However, since she was the one who spoke first, it was not good to go back on her word now. It was better to bring Su Bei there and introduce her to some dissolute young masters. Not only could she make Su Bei suffer, but she might also be able to give Lu Heting an opportunity. It was not bad.

At this thought, she smiled and said, “Then let’s go together!”

Su Bei was not stupid. How could she not know that Lu Tianqing wasn’t so kind?

She saw Lu Tianqing’s eyes flicker and knew that she was up to no good.

However, how could Lu Tianqing possibly bully her when her parents, brother, and sister-in-law were here?

Su Bei stepped forward and was about to leave when a voice sounded. “Su Bei!”

A man with peach-blossom eyes walked over quickly. “Why are you here?”

Su Bei recognized him as He Juncheng, He Xuyan’s friend. Previously, He Xuyan had said that she could look for He Juncheng if anything happened.

She grinned.

When Lu Tianqing and He Yuan saw He Juncheng, they hurriedly greeted, “Mr. Juncheng!”

He Juncheng’s status in the circle was comparable to He Xuyan’s. Although he was still inferior to Xuyan, he could easily crush He Yuan.

After all, He Yuan was only from the He family’s side branch, but He Juncheng was the only son of the He family!

“Mr. Juncheng, you know Su Bei?” Lu Tianqing’s expression revealed her uncertainty.

“Why can’t I know her?” He Juncheng didn’t like the sarcastic Lu Tianqing very much and spoke quite rudely.

“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Juncheng.” Lu Tianqing quickly hid her surprise.

Even He Yuan was extremely surprised.

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you in.” He Juncheng couldn’t be bothered with the couple anymore and quickly left with Su Bei.

Lu Tianqing thought for a long time before saying, “When Su Bei was filming in the country, she was quite familiar with He Xuyan, so it’s understandable for her to know He Juncheng.”

“Next time, don’t talk to Su Bei in that tone,” He Yuan reminded her.

Initially, it did not matter if Lu Tianqing was really from the Lu family or not.

But now that she had lost that identity, He Yuan did not want to cause trouble.

Lu Tianqing did feel a little regretful. After all, she previously had a conflict with Su Bei. How could she give in just like this? She could not!

“Alright, the business banquet is about to start. Let’s go over,” He Yuan said.

They walked to the door together.

The security guard stopped them.

Lu Tianqing handed over the invitation. “This is our invitation.”

“I’m sorry, but your invitation is no longer valid.”

“Why?” Lu Tianqing was shocked and angry.

How could she miss such a good opportunity?

What right did the security guard have to say that her invitation was invalid?

The security guard said, “No reason. It’s just that the two of you can’t go in tonight! Please leave!”

“There’s no reason?!” If not for her pride, Lu Tianqing would have shouted.

“Perhaps you want us to ‘invite’ the two of you away?” the security guard said expressionlessly.

He Yuan pulled Lu Tianqing aside. “Alright, let’s go!”

“He Yuan, you’re also a member of the He family. Why can’t we go in?” Lu Tianqing had already boasted in front of her husband’s aunts. She said she would definitely attend the venue tonight and chat with He Xuyan and He Jiang.

Now, she had been slapped in the face before she could even reach the door.

He Yuan did not know why either.

However, he had an inkling deep down. The prestige he got from being a part of the He family was a lot more significant on the surface than it was in reality.

To put it bluntly, to He Jiang and the others, collateral relatives like him were just that and nothing more. They were far from being a family.

It was already not easy for him to get a prestigious position in a consortium. What else could he expect?

…

Su Bei smiled and said to He Juncheng, “Mr. Juncheng, thank you for helping me tell the security guards to stop those two people.”

“It’s a small matter.” He Juncheng smiled. “You don’t like them?”

“Not really. I had some conflicts with Lu Tianqing previously. I just don’t want them to appear at the scene tonight and embarrass my brother and sister-in-law.”

He Juncheng smiled charmingly. “Why don’t I have such a good sister?”

Su Bei smiled.

“You don’t want to be with your brother and sister-in-law, nor do you want to be with your parents. Why don’t you be with me, then?”

“No, I’m afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous.”

“When did I get a girlfriend?”

Su Bei smiled again. “Then I’m afraid my husband will get jealous.”

He Juncheng’s peach blossom eyes were filled with doubt. “You really have a husband?”

“I really do.” Su Bei did not hesitate.

“Oh!” He Juncheng spoke in an unwilling tone. “Who snatched you away back then? He’s deliberately making things difficult for me!”

…

He Xuyan and Xu Zhiqin socialized with the crowd.

A moment later, He Xuyan was surrounded by his uncles who wanted to talk to him about matters between men.

Xu Zhiqin, on the other hand, was surrounded by some aunts and cousins. Everyone was talking about makeup and clothes.
