Chapter 1604: Win Without Suspense
Da Bao’s words stunned He Jiang.
Da Bao had always been biased toward Su Bei. Why was he speaking up for Lu Heting now?
Lu Heting raised his eyebrows, not surprised.
Among the four of them, Da Bao doted on Su Bei the most, followed by Gun Gun, and finally, Lu Heting. Sometimes, Da Bao even treated Lu Heting as an enemy.
But after all, it was an internal family conflict.
When there were others around, even if the other party was Su Bei’s family, Da Bao would still stand up for his family members.
As expected of Lu Heting’s son.
Seeing that Lu Heting was quite pleased, He Jiang snorted softly. He couldn’t bear to scold Da Bao, so he struggled for a while before saying, “Xiao Bei and Da Bao are both very smart. This method is indeed good.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Da Bao lowered his eyes.
“Will you be willing to stay in a new house, Da Bao?” He Jiang asked.
“I think it’s not bad to live here with Xiao Bei.” Da Bao glanced at Lu Heting from the corner of his eye. Xiao Bei had said that even if she wanted to move in the future, she would move to the place suggested by Lu Heting. Da Bao would go wherever Su Bei went.
There was no reason for him to stay in the place He Jiang had chosen.
Gun Gun didn’t understand what was going on just now, but he understood now. “Grandpa, Daddy, are we moving?”
He Jiang asked gently, “Gun Gun, are you willing to move to a new home? It’s a big and beautiful place.”
Gun Gun thought for a while and said, “No. Wherever Bei Bei is, the place will be beautiful. The place where I used to live with Daddy was big and empty. It wasn’t good at all. But the house where Bei Bei lives is especially good. The bed is fragrant, the sofa is soft, and her hair is beautiful. Wherever Bei Bei is, I’ll move there.”
Lu Heting glanced at his sons. His two sons were very supportive. Although they thought differently, they were both very supportive.
Lu Heting, as their father, was very relieved.
He Jiang: “…”
What else could he say?
“What are you guys talking about?” Su Bei walked over with durian in both her hands and smiled. “The durian today is especially fresh and fragrant! They’re the kind that can be eaten in one go!”
Da Bao and Lu Heting tilted their heads. The crease between Da Bao’s eyebrows did not match his age.
Lu Heting pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek. Apart from the durian in Su Bei’s mouth, he was not used to the taste of other durians.
He was extremely against it.
Only then did He Jiang smile in satisfaction. He elegantly picked up a durian and placed it in his mouth.
Although he had lost completely in the short battle just now, his daughter had given him a way out. Her preference for durians had not changed at all.
There was no doubt he would win this time.
Su Bei thought of something and glanced at Lu Heting and Da Bao. “I almost forgot. Dad, why don’t we go to the kitchen to eat?”
Although this was not the way to treat guests, the father and son could not stand the smell of durian. They were already trying their best to endure it.
He Jiang was about to speak when Lu Heting and Da Bao said in unison, “We’ll go to the kitchen.”
He Jiang: “…”
He could finally tell the hierarchy in this family.
…
In the end, Su Bei managed to coax He Jiang so that he would not be able to mention moving again.
After that, He Jiang personally observed the entire neighborhood where Su Bei lived. After confirming that it was really as they said and there was no problem with the security and privacy, he relaxed his brows and bade farewell.
“Dad’s worries seem a little unnecessary. It’s really good to live here,” Su Bei said as she looked in the direction of his car.
“His worries are not superfluous at all. If I had a daughter…” Lu Heting imagined that if his daughter looked exactly like Su Bei, he could not just watch other boys treat his daughter badly.
He seemed to understand where He Jiang’s emotions came from.
Su Bei raised her head and asked him, “Then what would you do?”
Lu Heting lowered his eyes. “I’ll listen to her. She’ll live wherever she says she’ll live.”
…
Two days later, Lin Xiruo recovered and was discharged.
He Jiang was busy with his career in the United States, so he quickly flew to the United States with Lin Xiruo.
However, before they left, He Jiang told He Xuyan to take care of Su Bei.
“With Lu Heting around, there’s no need for me to interfere.” He Xuyan’s dark eyes and expression were calm.
“I’m just worried about him.” After He Jiang saw Su Bei’s residence, the worry in his heart never dissipated. “Men are careless. How can they take good care of their women?”
He Xuyan smiled. “Are you talking about yourself too?”
“I’m different.” He Jiang looked proud.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll do as you say,” He Xuyan replied.
“Don’t just agree to it. You have to keep your word,” He Jiang warned.
He Xuyan touched the tip of his nose. Was he really his father’s son?
However, although he sounded casual, he still specially went to Su Bei’s neighborhood and looked around after He Jiang left and He Xuyan fetched Xu Zhiqin. It was alright. It was still much better than his place.
It wasn’t like his father hadn’t been to his bachelor’s apartment before. Why didn’t he feel that his son wasn’t living well?
This neighborhood was first-rate in terms of location, transportation, and school districts. However, his father had described it as a slum.
“What did Uncle ask you to check here?” Xu Zhiqin was also curious.
“Nothing. I just want to see if Lu Heting treats Su Bei well.”
Xu Zhiqin smiled. “I think Mr. Lu dotes on Su Bei a lot. Uncle is too worried.”
“That’s what happens when you’re raising a daughter,” He Xuyan said with a shrug.
“It just so happens that we’re at Su Bei’s place. I’ve been wanting to ask her to accompany me to buy something. Why don’t I call her?”
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
“That’s not necessary. We’re going shopping. Won’t you be bored if you follow us?” Xu Zhiqin asked.
Of course, He Xuyan would not feel bored. He could never have enough of Xu Zhiqin.
However, seeing that she didn’t want him to tag along, he gave up on the idea. “It’s up to you.”
After Xu Zhiqin called Su Bei, Su Bei quickly came downstairs.
Seeing that He Xuyan was also there, she smiled and greeted him. “Brother, are you coming too?”
“I’ll send you guys there and pick you up later,” He Xuyan said resignedly. One was his girlfriend, and the other was his sister. What else could he do? He could only let them be happy.
When they arrived at the mall, Xu Zhiqin patted her chest. “Fortunately, he didn’t insist on following us.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any surprises for his birthday gift.” Su Bei smiled.
At the mention of He Xuyan’s birthday, Xu Zhiqin’s eyes were filled with smiles. This was her first time celebrating He Xuyan’s birthday. She smiled. “Let’s go over there and take a look.”
