1503 The Dowry Keeps Getting Smaller
As for who gave them such confidence… It was probably those two elders who had never accepted her.
Su Bei glanced at the two elders and greeted them with a smile. As Lu Heting’s wife, she would definitely do her best.
After exchanging greetings, Fu Yujia’s gaze fell on Su Bei.
She had watched Su Bei’s movies and seen Su Bei’s performance on stage. She originally thought that her peerless beauty was only displayed on stage because of the director and her styling.
However, Su Bei was simply standing here without any makeup now. It was as if there was a halo around her that made people unable to take their eyes off her. She was dazzling, and her beauty was really shocking.
Fu Yujia bit her lip and subconsciously raised her head and puffed out her chest.
This kind of beauty that required her to go all out was really lethal.
Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu did not see Da Bao and Gun Gun beside Lu Heting and Su Bei. They could not help but look disappointed. They said in a low voice, “Heting, why didn’t you bring the children along?”
“There are guests here today. It’s inconvenient to bring the children along. Next time, I’ll bring them to see you two when you’re alone,” Lu Heting said calmly. There was no flaw in this reason.
Madam Fu smiled and said, “Heting’s words make sense. Children are afraid of strangers. It’s inevitable that they won’t be able to relax when there are too many people around. They won’t be able to have fun. This must be Heting’s new wife, right? She’s really beautiful and generous. I’m envious.”
Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu indeed knew that Su Bei was a capable woman. They did not hate her in their hearts, but they had always been dissatisfied with her profession.
Old Master Lu chuckled and said, “You’re too kind. Heting has good taste.”
In front of outsiders, Old Master Lu still gave his family enough face.
“I heard that Su Bei is a movie queen. She’s indeed talented and beautiful,” Madam Fu said with a smile. “She’s really good-looking.”
Although Madam Fu knew that Old Master Lu and Old Master Lu didn’t like the profession of an artiste, she still deliberately mentioned that Su Bei was a movie queen. Although her tone was full of admiration and didn’t seem to have any selfish motives, her intentions still made Lu Heting raise his eyebrows.
He looked at Madam Fu and said, “Madam Fu.”
He addressed her as Madam Fu, not Aunt Fu. Madam Fu subconsciously tensed up and looked at Lu Heting.
Lu Heting tidied up his sleeves that were not wrinkled at all. He held Su Bei’s hand and sat down naturally on the sofa. Then, he slowly said, “I heard that many things have happened to Fu Yujia’s Sheng Tang Entertainment recently. The rumors outside are quite radical. If you need any help, Madam Fu, please feel free to ask Grandpa and Grandma. Our two families have been friends for many years. I’m sure the elders won’t stand by and do nothing.”
As soon as he said this, the entire living room suddenly fell silent.
The matter with Sheng Tang Entertainment was naturally about the mistress incident. This matter had blown up, and the rumors outside were not that good.
Although Fu Yujia had pushed everything to Tang Yue and she let Mrs. Cao punish a few agents, it was impossible for Fu Yujia to stay out of this mess.
This was probably the last thing Madam Fu wanted to talk about.
Hearing Lu Heting’s words, the expressions of the family changed.
Even Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu felt embarrassed.
However, there was nothing wrong with Lu Heting’s words. They were simply the most dignified words on social occasions.
Lu Heting handed the gift in his hand to the two elders. “Su Bei bought this for you, Grandpa and Grandma. Please accept it.”
Madam Fu finally stopped. She didn’t dare to casually touch any topic about Su Bei anymore. No matter what she said, she had to look at Lu Heting’s expression before she spoke.
Even after dinner, Madam Fu did not dare to say anything to sow discord.
After Lu Heting and Su Bei left, Madam Fu heaved a sigh of relief.
Fu Yujia loosened her grip slightly. Tonight, from the moment Lu Heting entered the door until he left, his gaze had been on Su Bei. He would only look at her when she spoke to him.
However, his gaze was completely different from when he looked at Su Bei.
“Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, I’ll visit the two of you next time.” Fu Yujia looked disappointed and lost in thought.
Old Master Lu looked at her and smiled. “Alright, next time, I’ll help you find a good husband. You can’t reject me.”
Hearing this, Fu Yujia’s heart turned cold, but she didn’t show it on her face. She smiled and said, “Grandpa Lu, you really like to joke. You know that I’m still young.”
…
After getting into the car, Lu Heting tilted his head and looked at Su Bei. “Aren’t you going to ask me about Fu Yujia?”
“I’ve already asked others. It’s normal for there to be women who grew up with you. The Lu family has many friends, so many people must’ve grown up with you. Did you think I’d take it to heart?” Su Bei smiled brightly.
Lu Heting pondered for a moment. “So you’re not worried that I’ll be snatched away?”
“What can be snatched away doesn’t belong to me.” Su Bei smiled. Feeling the man’s aura deepen, she quickly tried to salvage the situation. “Of course, I can’t let others snatch away such a good man like my husband.”
Lu Heting’s expression seemed to say, ‘That was more like it.’
Su Bei told him about the current situation of Nirvana Entertainment and said, “I’ll be a little busy recently. After all, this is Mr. Weijian’s company. I don’t want his dowry to keep getting smaller and smaller. Otherwise, he won’t have the confidence to pursue her.”
The word dowry made Lu Heting chuckle.
“Now that Brother Yue Ze is here, he’ll bring a few newcomers out. Everything will be fine once they’re on the right track.” Su Bei was very confident.
“You can’t be too tired. Otherwise, I’ll ask Lu Weijian to come back immediately.”
Su Bei smiled. “Yes, Hubby.”
…
In the past few days, Mu Kai had indeed developed a lot of muscles.
He had a good foundation, and professional coaches were arranged in advance according to the artistes’ activities so that the artistes would be in their ideal state.
According to Su Bei’s request, Yue Ze asked Mu Kai to participate in a local fashion show. It was a very simple show. Generally speaking, only newcomers would participate in it.
Afraid that Mu Kai would overthink, Yue Ze even specially talked to him.
“Brother Yue Ze, I don’t have any psychological burden. Anyway, what’s the difference between me and a newcomer now?” Mu Kai said magnanimously.
“That’s good. Although it’s a small show, I hope you can give it your 100%,” Yue Ze said.
Mu Kai nodded. “I got it.”
