1781 I Wonât Call You Big Brother, But I Still Treat You As My Big Brother
He hadnât been with Bei Bei for long before she disappeared.
He was about to rush into Su Beiâs room.
Old Master He hugged him. âGreat-grandpa and Great-grandma have bought a lot of things for you, Gun Gun. Do you want to take a look?â
âOkay!â Gun Gun remembered that his daddy had said not to disturb him and Bei Bei for the time being. They had something very important to talk about!
He would wait for tomorrow, then!
In Su Beiâs room, Lu Heting did have something important to do.
However, it was not something to be said but done.
After not seeing him for such a long time, Su Bei owed him a lot. He had to get her to pay him back tonight with interest.
The next day, Su Bei woke up late.
When she got up, it was almost lunchtime.
Su Bei covered her face with her hands. How was she going to go downstairs to see the others?
She was usually a good child and would eat breakfast with her family!
Lu Heting walked over. He was dressed neatly in a suit without a single crease.
Seeing that her face was red and she was in a daze, he could not help but smile and kiss her.
âYouâre not awake yet?â He lowered his eyes and asked gently.
âWhy didnât you wake me up? Now everyone will know that I overslept!â Su Bei pursed her lips.
âGrandpa and Grandma took Da Bao and Gun Gun shopping early in the morning. Even if you get up for lunch now, no one will know that you slept so late.â
âThen help me get my clothes!â Su Bei quickly instructed him.
At the end, when Su Bei went downstairs, He Jiang and Lin Xiruo were there.
Well, Su Bei lost her face again.
Lu Heting stood aside and held her hand with a smile.
He Jiang glared at Lu Heting and could not be bothered with him.
Lu Heting stayed here for two days and finally got some interest back. He was satisfied every day. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he liked this place very much.
â¦
Now that Lu Heting was around, the smile on Su Beiâs face widened.
Although she usually smiled brightly, Old Master He and Old Madam He liked seeing her like this even more.
Su Beiâs smile was definitely different now. After Lu Heting came over with the two children, they could clearly feel the change in Su Beiâs mood.
âIt seems that Lu Heting really dotes on Su Bei.â After observing carefully, Old Master He felt very calm.
Old Madam He nodded. âThatâs right. Previously, the outside world was talking about how he hadnât come to see Su Bei for months and didnât visit the He family either, so they suspected his attitude toward Su Bei. I was also worried, but I couldnât ask Su Bei too much. Now, it seems that heâs really good to Su Bei.â
Old Master He nodded. âIn that case, I wonât worry about Su Bei anymore. And those two little fellows are really goodâ¦â
At the mention of them, he couldnât help but fiddle with his beard. He reminisced about when Da Bao and Gun Gun were wheedling beside him. No, only Gun Gun was wheedling. Da Bao was mainly responsible for being cold and smart.
âIn that case, is it time for you to tell everyone about that decision?â Old Madam He asked.
âYes, Lu Heting will help manage the family business for the time being. Itâs time to tell everyone this.â Old Master He had also made a careful decision.
Old Madam He said, âIâm just afraid that Shihui will have other thoughts.â
âIâm doing this for the entire He family! What Shihui has done these past few times has confirmed my thoughts. The He family needs a more magnanimous and responsible person to take over. Shihui is still⦠a little petty.â
â¦
The next day, the entire family gathered at the He familyâs mansion.
This included He Xuyan and Xu Zhiqin, who stayed outside.
As soon as Wei Heguang arrived, he went straight to Da Bao. âDa Bao, Iâm here!â
After a day and a night of correction, he reluctantly stopped calling Da Bao âBig Brotherâ.
However, his words and expression still seemed to say âI wonât call you âBig Brotherâ, but Iâll still treat you as my big brotherâ.
âMhm.â Da Bao was still cold.
However, this did not affect Wei Heguangâs enthusiasm at all. He found a seat and sat down next to Da Bao.
Fortunately, Gun Gun was generous. He had already taken a seat next to Da Bao, so he didnât care if Wei Heguang was on Da Baoâs other side.
Old Master He coughed lightly and said, âButler, bring the little masters out to play.â
Hearing that they were going to play, Gun Gun immediately became excited.
Wei Heguang and Da Bao both knew that the adults had something important to say, so they got up and left together.
However, Wei Heguang was as excited as Gun Gun. If he could see Da Bao play games, this trip today would be worth it!
The three of them quickly walked out.
Old Master He then told the family what he had been planning for a long time.
Wang Hui was surprised. âYou want Mr. Lu to temporarily participate in the management of He Consortium?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Actually, Lu Heting was not surprised. He had already expected this.
From the day he arrived and saw Wang Hui and He Shihuiâs actions, he knew that the two of them were extremely petty and could not do anything openly.
Old Master Heâs decision was not selfish. It was for the sake of the entire consortium.
...
Since Old Master He treated Su Bei very well, he was willing to share the old masterâs burden.
However, Wang Hui was very unwilling. âDad, shouldnât we be in charge of He Consortiumâs matters ourselves? Especially since Shihui is also in charge.â
He Shihui clenched her fists tightly. Why couldnât Grandpa see her hard work? Why would he rather hand over the family business to someone else than hand it to her?
Old Master He said, âI know youâll definitely have some ideas. However, He Consortiumâs businesses are very extensive now. Iâm old, and Iâm not strong enough. I canât guarantee that Iâll be able to get everything done just by relying on He Jiang and Shihui. Heting is only temporarily involved. When Xuyan comes back three years later, heâll still have to return the management rights to him.â
He Shihui held back the anger in her heart and said, âGrandpa, I can work harder.â
Old Master He looked at her and said, âI donât want you to work too hard.â
Although he said that, he knew that He Shihui was not a good leader and was easily influenced.
All these years, he had been observing carefully. He Xuyan had a calm personality, was tolerant, and was better at accepting opinions. He looked indifferent on the surface, but he was actually magnanimous.
He Shihui looked magnanimous on the surface, but in reality, she was not. Even he could tell from the things she had done to Su Bei that Su Bei had no interest in the family business at all. However, He Shihui was unwilling to let her go and fought with her again and again.
Old Master He was really worried about handing such a huge family business to He Shihui.
He comforted her again. âBesides, youâre already involved in a lot now.â
...
He Shihui felt a chill in her heart.
The others said nothing.
This decision was made by Old Master He, so he naturally had his reasons. Everyone knew what He Shihui had done.
From everyoneâs perspective, Old Master He was taking the overall situation into consideration.
