1741 Come To Dad’s Side
Su Bei stuck out her tongue and smiled. “Everyone, please don’t mind me. I’m just going to take a photo.”
She took a photo for Lu Heting.
It was five or six in the morning in S Country. She thought that Lu Heting would only reply to her later, but who knew that he would reply instantly: [You look good.]
[Why are you up so early? You have to sleep well even if I’m not around.]
[Aren’t you attending a business banquet today? That’s why I’m waiting for you to send me photos.]
Su Bei couldn’t help but laugh. [If I didn’t send you any, wouldn’t you have waited for nothing?]
[I knew you would.] Lu Heting typed confidently.
He was not physically by her side, but he was always with her in spirit, so she never had any regrets.
He Jiang hugged Lin Xiruo with one hand and reached out with the other. “Come to Dad’s side.”
Su Bei ran to He Jiang’s side and said a few more words to Lu Heting before putting away her phone.
As one of the eight major consortiums in the United States, He Consortium held many business banquets every year.
This time, it was a business banquet held by He Consortium to celebrate the successful completion of their work in the first half of the year.
Many celebrities and friends of aristocratic families were present.
Su Bei was determined not to steal Xu Zhiqin’s limelight tonight, so before she entered, she said to He Xuyan, “I’ll be with Dad and Mom later. You and Zhiqin can go in first.”
He Xuyan knew what she meant. If the matter of the daughter of the He family being present tonight became the highlight, Xu Zhiqin would receive less attention. Su Bei would not let this happen.
Although she said that she would be with He Jiang and Lin Xiruo, she might actually separate from their parents later and appear alone without snatching attention.
His sister had never been soft-hearted when facing enemies, but she was extremely gentle and protective of the people she was close to. No wonder so many people doted on her so much.
He and Xu Zhiqin quickly entered the venue.
“Mr. He!”
“Mr. He!”
As soon as He Xuyan’s tall figure entered the venue, there were shouts all around.
He Xuyan nodded in greeting and introduced Xu Zhiqin to everyone. “This is my fiancée, Xu Zhiqin.”
Xu Zhiqin greeted them politely and generously.
Everyone knew that He Xuyan had always been lukewarm and did not take anything or anyone to heart. It was rare to see him look gentle and smile today.
They looked at the woman beside him. She was wearing a decent nude dress. Her skin was smooth, and her facial features were gentle. She was natural and unrestrained. She indeed had the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
In particular, her temperament was a little like Lin Xiruo’s. Seeing this, everyone could stop wondering why He Xuyan chose her.
“Hello, Miss Xu.”
“Mr. He, you have good taste!”
“You two are a perfect match!”
There were praises all around.
He Xuyan introduced Xu Zhiqin to some of the higher-ups of the company, as well as some elders and friends who were family friends.
Wei Yuxin also appeared with a glass of wine in her hand. Seeing the two of them appear so intimately, her heart felt as if it was being clawed by a cat. It hurt, and her emotions were chaotic.
He Xuyan had brought Xu Zhiqin to a social event. It could be seen how much he valued her!
The matter of their marriage was as good as a done deal.
Xiao Xiaobai, who was standing beside her, reached out and held her arm. “Cousin, I think Xu Zhiqin is very ordinary. She can’t compare to you.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Be careful, or Aunt He won’t be happy when she hears it.”
Xiao Xiaobai pouted unhappily. Wasn’t Aunt He the crazy woman who took a doll as her daughter?
However, she still shut up in the end and did not dare to act rashly.
…
Indeed, Su Bei did not come in with He Jiang and Lin Xiruo.
“Dad, Mom, you can go in first. I won’t be a third wheel,” Su Bei said with a smile.
“I want to introduce you around too. I want to let those uncles who have shown off their daughters to me take a good look at my obedient daughter!” The smile on He Jiang’s face couldn’t get any wider at the mention of his daughter.
“I want to make a call to Lu Heting.” Su Bei was afraid that if she followed them in and everyone came to her side, Xu Zhiqin would be a little embarrassed.
He Jiang snorted. “Didn’t you just chat with him on WeChat?”
“WeChat is WeChat, while phone calls are phone calls!” Su Bei said.
He Jiang snorted and walked in with Lin Xiruo.
“Are you angry with your daughter?” Lin Xiruo asked with a smile.
“How is that possible?” He Jiang immediately denied it. How could he be angry with his daughter?
He was angry at Lu Heting for snatching his daughter away so early!
Otherwise, his daughter would still be his precious daughter. If she stayed by his side obediently, no pig would be able to take her away.
Lin Xiruo was amused by him. “Alright, Hubby. Su Bei is also obedient and sensible. She just wants Zhiqin to meet more people tonight. She doesn’t want to steal her and Xuyan’s limelight. Your daughter is so good. Why are you unhappy?”
Only then did He Jiang calm down. “Our daughter resembles you. That’s why I said back then that there was no need to have that brat. I just wanted a daughter.”
He Xuyan, who was socializing with guests, suddenly blushed. He suddenly had a feeling that his position in the family had been taken down by another notch.
Su Bei had indeed called Lu Heting. At this moment, he had just gotten into the car to send Da Bao and Gun Gun to school.
When the two munchkins heard Su Bei’s voice, they naturally chattered.
After a while, Su Bei put down the phone.
She was deep in thought when she saw a familiar face—Lu Tianqing.
After Lu Tianqing lost to Su Bei previously, she stopped her antics for a while.
She didn’t expect to see Su Bei here.
Tonight, she was attending the He family’s business banquet with her husband, He Yuan.
Back then, the He family moved to the United States. After the large family took root, they produced countless branches.
He Yuan was from one of those branch families.
He had some influence in He Consortium. This influence was indeed enough to shock many people.
However, it was nothing in front of He Jiang and He Xuyan.
Lu Tianqing held He Yuan’s arm and walked over. She smiled and said, “I thought I was wrong, but it’s really you, Su Bei!”
“I thought I was wrong too, but it is you.” Su Bei smiled. She knew Lu Tianqing’s identity and her affiliation with He Consortium, so it was normal for her to appear here.
“Why aren’t you with Lu Heting? What are you doing here?” Lu Tianqing asked with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes. “Oh, I forgot. I haven’t heard any news about you and Lu Heting for a long time. With his identity, I don’t know how many women he has around him. However, I’m sure you won’t mind. You probably know that you have to bear such unhappiness as Mrs. Lu.”
