Chapter 1802 - 1802 Secret That You Don’t Know?
“Thank you,” the waitress said before turning to leave.
After dinner, Su Bei and Lu Heting were curious about He Xuyan’s new home and planned to go over to take a seat.
He Xuyan used to live in a bachelor’s apartment. It was very small and cramped. However, it did not matter since he was alone before this.
Now that he was going to marry Xu Zhiqin, he bought a new house.
The house was a townhouse. Many directors lived in the area. A house of a few hundred square meters was not very big, but it was much more spacious than the place he used to live in.
The house had already been decorated while they were abroad. Xu Zhiqin liked it very much as soon as she entered.
“By the way, Heting, please bring in the items I brought over.”
Lu Heting went to get the items for Su Bei.
After bringing them over, Su Bei handed them to Xu Zhiqin with both hands. “They’re for your new residence.”
“Thank you.” Xu Zhiqin thanked her and unrolled the papers. She was pleasantly surprised. “You drew them yourself? I like these gifts so much!”
Su Bei had prepared several paintings. She knew that they had bought a house and had prepared them for today.
He Xuyan smiled and said, “Your paintings are already hard to come by in the United States. There are countless people looking for your manager. There’s so much demand, but you’re giving us six paintings at once.”
“You’re my brother and sisters-in-law. Of course, I should give you more.” Su Bei pursed her lips and smiled.
“You don’t know how excited Dad and Mom were the last time they found out that you were Su Lu. Mom, in particular, was so excited that she couldn’t sleep.” He Xuyan smiled. “What other secrets do you have that we don’t know?”
“I really don’t have any others.” Su Bei thought about it seriously and tilted her head with a smile.
Xu Zhiqin couldn’t wait anymore. “Shall we hang them up now?”
She really liked these paintings. Before she got to know Su Bei or He Xuyan, she had secretly gone to Su Bei’s art exhibition and was caught by Su Bei.
Now that she had obtained these, she was naturally excited.
He Xuyan agreed readily. “I’ll get someone to bring a ladder over.”
Su Bei and Lu Heting also hung the paintings up with them.
Lu Heting rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility.
After all, these were drawn by Su Bei. He had to watch them be hung up.
While washing her hands, Xu Zhiqin said, “By the way, did you notice that the waitress who dirtied your clothes tonight looks a little familiar?”
“I did,” Su Bei said. “I just can’t remember who she is.”
“Be careful. I’m just afraid that it’s some kind of fan who’ll endanger your safety.”
“Don’t worry, I have Lu Heting with me.” Su Bei was not too worried. Besides, the waitress looked like a good person.
Su Bei trusted her intuition.
When she went back with Lu Heting, he suddenly said, “You’ve never given me a painting.”
These words sounded a little childish.
Su Bei snorted with laughter. “Have you forgotten that I drew you when I was accepted by Carlo as his apprentice?”
“When I was young?” Lu Heting remembered that she had drawn him at that time. That was what made He Shihui unable to refute.
“That’s right. You weren’t there, but the evaluation it received was very good.”
A smile appeared on Lu Heting’s lips. “That’s good.”
He was satisfied.
When he got home, Lu Heting took a call and entered the study. He looked up and saw the oil painting he had discussed with Su Bei hanging in an inconspicuous place.
He could see this painting at any time, but outsiders would not be allowed to see it.
This painting would only be his to admire, and it could not be seen by too many outsiders… After all, the young Lu Heting in the painting was not wearing anything.
A smile appeared on Lu Heting’s face as he pulled Su Bei into his arms.
Su Bei smiled. “Are you satisfied?”
Lu Heting rested his chin on her hair. He was very satisfied with what he saw.
“At that time, I only showed this painting to Master Carlo. Very soon after that, he returned it to me and I sent it to be made waterproof. After everything was done, I got someone to hang it here,” Su Bei explained softly.
Lu Heting nodded, the satisfaction in his eyes spreading.
“I gave some paintings to Big Brother, so, naturally, I’ll give something better to my husband.” Su Bei’s voice was soft.
Lu Heting’s throat was slightly hoarse from her words.
…
On Ji Rufeng’s side, ever since the negative news disappeared, everything went on as usual.
His new movie was released at the same time as Tong Yan’s. Due to Yu Lan’s scheme, Tong Yan’s future career was not optimistic.
Due to the quality of their work, the gap between them widened. Ji Rufeng had always been on equal footing with Tong Yan and had equal opportunities. Now, he had widened the gap between them.
The advertisers were also more inclined to Ji Rufeng. The price they gave him exceeded the price they offered Tong Yan.
This time, Tong Yan suffered the consequences of his own actions, and Ji Rufeng managed to shake him off.
Ji Rufeng was very grateful to Su Bei and invited her to dinner to thank her alone.
Yue Ze and Gao Ban were also with her, so Su Bei did not refuse and agreed.
The restaurant where they ate happened to be the one where they had dinner with He Xuyan.
...
During the meal, Ji Rufeng raised his glass a few times to thank them. “President Su, Brother Yue, Manager Gao, let me give you another toast!”
“We can just do it symbolically. Let’s not drink so much.” Seeing that he had already toasted a few times, Yue Ze persuaded him.
Ji Rufeng put down his glass, and his eyes were a little moist. It took him a moment to suppress his emotions to say, “Okay, let’s drink less.”
During the time of the accident, he had been under a lot of pressure. He was ostracized by the production team, and the attitudes of the people around him changed visibly. The advertisers were also dissatisfied.
He had been famous for so long and was already used to being protected.
At that time, his self-esteem and pride were almost shattered.
Fortunately, President Su pulled him back at the critical moment. Otherwise, he knew that his spirit would be completely crushed at that time.
It was an invisible deprivation.
Yue Ze saw through his emotions and said with a smile, “If you film well in the future, you’ll be worthy of President Su’s painstaking efforts.”
“Of course.” This incident also gave Ji Rufeng a wake-up call. He knew what could be done and what could not.
By the time the meal ended, Ji Rufeng was a little drunk.
...
He did not bring his assistant tonight, so Gao Ban volunteered to send him off and accompany him downstairs.
Su Bei and Yue Ze walked out together and saw a familiar waitress being scolded by the manager.
