âWhat friend?â Su Bei pointed a slender finger at herself.
âAhhhh, itâs you?!â Xiao Bai exclaimed.
Qiao Mei also smiled. âSu Bei, youâre really amazing!â
âI did paint this. But the one that was auctioned last night is my friendâs work.â
âAhhh, all your friends are crazy talented,â Xiao Bai kept screaming. âYouâre crazy talented yourself.â
Su Bei smiled. âI wonder if what Mr. Qian said is true. What if heâs just saying it casually or heâs a swindler?â
âThatâs easy. Get someone to find out more about him,â Qiao Mei said. âI have paparazzi friends. Iâll have a report ready for you soon.â
...
At the Lu familyâs 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.
âBrother Fu, how have you been?â Old Master Lu patted the shoulder of the old man opposite him and laughed.
Old Master Fu also laughed out loud. âBrother Lu, long time no see. Youâre still strong despite your old age!â
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. âOut of the group of us who fought on the battlefield together, weâre probably the only ones left.â
âThatâs right. The old squad leader and the others were older than us, after all,â Old Master Lu said emotionally. âLetâs not talk about these sad things. Since we met today, we have to have a good drink with each other.â
Old Master Fu laughed. âGood! Good! By the way, Jia Jia, come and greet Grandpa Lu!â
âHello, Grandpa Lu.â A graceful young lady walked out from behind Old Master Fu. She was outstanding and beautiful.
âJia Jia, youâre already so grown!â Old Master Lu looked at Fu Yujia and felt a little emotional. He couldnât help but feel that he owed the Fu family. âBack 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.â
Fu Yujia quickly said sensibly, âGrandpa Lu, this isnât Hetingâs fault. Love is about mutual consent. We canât force him.â
Her sensible behavior naturally made Old Master Lu feel even guiltier. âSigh, 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. Iâm happy today. Letâs not talk about those things. Please come in!â
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 familyâs business shifted overseas, so in a fit of anger, the entire family went overseas. They left for several years.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
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 familyâs 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 familyâs 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 couldnât marry her.
At the thought of this, Fu Yujia couldnât help but feel sad.
âJia Jia? Jia Jia, itâs really you!â Old Madam Lu was pleasantly surprised. She came forward and held her hand. âI havenât seen you for a few years. Youâve become prettier and thinner. Why? Are you not used to eating foreign food?â
âNo, Iâm very used to eating it. I missed you too much, Grandma Lu.â Fu Yujia hugged Old Madam Lu sincerely.
Old Madam Lu couldnât help but feel sad. âYou 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.â
âDoesnât Weijian come back often?â Fu Yujia avoided asking Lu Heting.
âHim? He just plays games all day. When he comes back, he stays up late and plays games. I find him an eyesore. Even if heâs not around, Iâm happy to have peace and quiet. Youâre the best. Youâre quiet and sensible. You wonât leave this time, will you?â
âYes, Iâll stay and help my parents with the company. I wonât leave.â
âGood. Thatâs good.â
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, âI heard that Heting is already married. I saw some entertainment news last time. That girl seems to disguise herself as a man?â
Lu Heting had always kept a low profile in the past. Even financial magazines didnât 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. âThat child is just fooling around.â
âThe entertainment industry is a mess. Itâs understandable that young people like those things.â 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 didnât interfere with Lu Heting and Su Bei, it didnât mean that he was satisfied with Su Bei.
Hearing Old Master Fuâs 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 couldnât 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, âGrandpa Lu, you personally raised Heting. He naturally has his limits. Even if he takes the wrong path for a moment, itâs inevitable. No one is perfect. I believe heâll quickly see the truth and not let you down.â
