1483 An Ordinary Man
He sighed and said, “I really didn’t expect that after fighting for a lifetime, the old man would still be ahead of me. In the past, when I hated him, I wished he would die. Now that he’s gone, I realized that I’m old too.”
“Grandpa, my condolences.” Lu Heting poured him tea.
“Did Weijian go to the funeral?” Old Master Lu asked.
“Yes. After all, they’re grandfather and grandson,” Lu Heting said.
It was rare for Old Master Lu not to be angry over this matter. He said understandingly, “It’s only right for Weijian to be filial.”
Without waiting for Lu Heting to nod, he said, “Tell Weijian to come back as soon as possible. I’m just letting him be now on account of that old man’s death. Nevertheless, Weijian is a member of the Lu family. If he’s thinking of staying with the Huo family, he should forget it!”
Lu Heting knew that this would be the case. He handed the teacup to Old Master Lu, signaling him to calm down.
Old Madam Lu also said, “Heting, tell Weijian that his grandfather and I don’t allow him to interfere in the Huo family’s matters! Otherwise, we’ll break his legs!”
Lu Heting: “…”
Lu Weijian, who was preparing for the funeral, felt a chill in his legs, and his knees went weak.
…
The matter of Lu Weijian taking over the Huo family had already been determined. The truth could not be changed.
Therefore, Su Bei would definitely take over his game company and Nirvana Entertainment.
At night, Su Bei discussed with Lu Heting how she should manage his two companies.
“The game company is easy to deal with. There’s a special team working on the development, listing, and maintenance of the game. Team JJ has always been managed by a team leader. After more than 10 years, everything has formed a mature system. There’s no need to worry too much. The difficult part is Nirvana Entertainment. It has just started, and Mr. Weijian rarely leaves the employees there to their own devices. There are many things that haven’t been perfected and standardized yet. We need to put in some effort for that,” Su Bei analyzed.
“Then I’ll get someone to take care of it.” Lu Heting couldn’t bear to have Su Bei work so hard.
“That won’t do. After all, this is Mr. Weijian’s own business. If I get you to interfere, it’ll become the Lu family’s business again. Since he’s handed it to me, I have to return it to him, right?” Su Bei supported her chin and wrote on the paper with a pen. “I definitely can’t manage Nirvana Entertainment with my identity. Otherwise, Grandpa and Grandma will definitely find out that something’s wrong with Mr. Weijian’s situation. They’ll know that he’s gone to the Huo family as soon as they investigate. Unfortunately, my identity as Lu Bei was exposed too early. Now that everyone knows that Lu Bei is me, Grandpa and Grandma will also find out if I use Lu Bei’s identity to help him manage Nirvana Entertainment.”
Lu Weijian had really handed a hot potato to her.
“I have a good idea.” Su Bei put down her pen and smiled at Lu Heting.
Lu Heting’s gaze was gentle. “What?”
“I can still disguise myself as a man. I can just give myself a new name. Since I could disguise myself as Lu Bei, I can also disguise myself as someone else. As long as I can hide it from Grandpa and Grandma, everything will be settled.”
“No.” Lu Heting disagreed.
“Why? Are you willing to watch Mr. Weijian’s legs be broken by Grandpa and Grandma? If I don’t do my best, Grandpa and Grandma will find out that Mr. Weijian has inherited the Huo family’s businesses!”
Lu Heting reached out and stroked her soft hair. “When you pretended to be Lu Bei previously, too many people liked you. There was even a woman who said that she was pregnant with your child. It’s too risky.”
“Pfft!” Su Bei recalled the last time she was framed for getting a woman pregnant. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Then this time, I’ll pretend to be an ordinary man. There won’t be a problem, right?”
Lu Heting pondered for a moment and said, “Can someone like you… pretend to be ordinary?”
The woman was beautiful and flawless. At this moment, she did not have any makeup on after taking a shower. Even so, she seemed to be glowing, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
Lu Heting really doubted how ordinary she could be.
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll give it a try!” Su Bei immediately stood up and went to the dressing room in the bedroom.
Lu Heting waited for Su Bei to come out. He wanted to see how ordinary his woman would be.
Soon, Su Bei walked out. She was wearing ordinary men’s clothes. She had short hair, a flat nose, and eyes that were no longer as big as before. Her skin was slightly yellow… As expected, she looked ordinary.
“Isn’t this very ordinary?” When she spoke, it was no longer the voice of a bright young boy. Instead, it was as inconspicuous as a voice that could be heard on the streets at any time.
She looked inconspicuous, and her voice was also inconspicuous. Her style was just too general. She would not stand out in a crowd.
“So what’s the name of this ordinary man?” Lu Heting asked cooperatively.
“My surname is Su, and my first name is Lu.” After saying that, Su Bei couldn’t help but laugh. She rolled into Lu Heting’s arms.
Hearing her put the words ‘Su’ and ‘Lu’ together, the affection in Lu Heting’s eyes was so strong that it could not be dispelled.
A ringtone broke the warmth of the moment. Su Bei picked up the phone. “Mr. Qian? Oh, my friend hasn’t replied to me yet. I’ll call you again at a later time.”
On the other end of the line, Mr. Qian was extremely disappointed and reluctantly hung up.
Su Bei hung up the phone and said, “Mr. Qian is an agent for artists. Previously, he took a fancy to Gun Gun’s painting and wants Gun Gun to debut and hold an art exhibition. I rejected him.”
“But you weren’t very firm in your refusal just now?” Lu Heting had also heard about the auction that night. Later, he specially investigated Mr. Qian and knew that he had no ill intentions, so he threw this matter aside.
“Because he saw the painting I made by chance after that. Then, he recognized at a glance that Gun Gun’s and my paintings weren’t done by the same person. He even said that he wants to hold an art exhibition for me. I didn’t make things clear, so I told him that the painting was drawn by my friend so I could leave myself with a way out. Maybe since my mother is a painter, I really do have some talent in this?”
Lu Heting smiled. “Of course. Otherwise, Gun Gun wouldn’t be talented in this too.”
Su Bei smiled until her eyes formed crescents. “I think so too. But I haven’t had time to think about what Mr. Qian said yet. I was just about to ask for your opinion.”
“Life is short. Try your best to do what you want to do. It’s good to succeed, but it’s also a unique experience if you don’t. Besides, I believe in you. You can do anything.”
At this moment, Su Bei looked ordinary, but her smile was dazzling. Her bright appearance was his favorite. “Then I’ll go for it. Coincidentally, I still have some paintings from before. I think I can hold an exhibition.”
“Okay.” Lu Heting nodded and stroked her hair.
