1818: She's Very Good

She's Very Good

The Fu family was too ashamed to stay here and left.

That included Fu Xing.

"Fu Xing," Lu Heting called out to him.

Fu Xing smiled helplessly. "There's no need to feel guilty. They all refused to listen to me, so I knew this day would come."

Lu Heting didn't say anything else and watched him leave.

The other guests also saw that things were not looking good. After exchanging some words with Old Master Lu, they all left without even cutting the cake.

"Heting, about the Fu family…" Old Master Lu began.

"Are you going to ask if there's any room for negotiation regarding their matter?" Lu Heting looked at him.

Old Master Lu also reacted at this moment. Since Fu Yujia had the intention of framing Su Bei, she must have a goal to achieve. Not only did she want to frame Su Bei for the sake of it, but she also wanted to use this matter to evoke his guilt toward her so that he would not cut off all cooperation with the Fu family.

Fu Yujia was actually so scheming. It made Old Master Lu realize that he had underestimated these juniors.

After thinking it through, he knew that Lu Heting cutting off the Fu family's cooperation was the solution to this matter.

The Lu family could give the Fu family face, but they could not be played by the Fu family.

"That's all." Old Master Lu didn't say anything else and just looked at Su Bei. "Su Bei, it's been hard on you."

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I never told you that I was pretending to be Su Lu."

"It's all my fault. Grandpa, don't blame Sister-in-law." Lu Weijian stood up. "It's all my bad idea. Sister-in-law did it for me."

Old Master Lu smiled and shook his head. "What Su Bei did is exactly the Lu family's style of doing things. How can I blame her? She's very good. I'm the one who's in the wrong."

He recalled that he had always treated Su Bei as an outsider. At this moment, he realized that while he always boasted about justice, he was not as good as Su Bei when it came to enacting justice.

After saying that, he looked deeply at Lu Yaolan.

Lu Yaolan was really afraid this time. What she had done with Fu Yujia was too serious.

From Lu Heting's attitude, it could be seen that she had crossed the line.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have trusted Jia Jia so easily and spoken up for her." Lu Yaolan took advantage of the situation and pushed everything to Fu Yujia.

"Forget it. Don't contact her anymore," Old Master Lu said.

"Okay." Lu Yaolan couldn't wait for everything to settle down.

Lu Heting glanced at her. His gaze was so sharp that Lu Yaolan quickly lowered her head.

Lu Weijian ran to Su Bei and spoke to her affectionately, apologizing and showing concern.

Lu Yaolan felt uncomfortable, but she had just made a mistake. It was not appropriate for her to argue with them, so she could only endure it.

Fu Yujia embarrassed herself on Old Master Lu's birthday and made things really uncomfortable. Old Madam Lu could only persuade Old Master Lu.

"Great-grandpa, happy birthday!" Gun Gun ran into Old Master Lu's arms.

His gloomy mood was swept away. He picked Gun Gun up and said, "Thank you, my good baby!"

"Brother Da Bao is here too! He's carrying the gift, so that's why he's walking a little slow."

"Okay, okay!" Old Master Lu was overjoyed. "Let's go and cut the cake together!"

Even though there were no more guests, he was still quite content to have the children at home.

Even Huo Zhong was asked to stay for the cake.

Lu Weijian picked up a slice of cake and smeared some cream on the tip of Da Bao's nose.

Da Bao's handsome face darkened slightly, and Lu Weijian laughed. "Why do you look so gloomy?"

"Hey, who told you to bully Da Bao?" Huo Zhong was unconvinced. He picked up another slice of cake and wiped some cream on Lu Weijian's face.

Only then did Da Bao smile. Lu Weijian was so angry that he went to get more cake.

"Second Uncle!" Gun Gun called out to him.

He looked down at Gun Gun, who was giving him a look.

Lu Weijian was so angry that he put his hands on his hips. "Are you all targeting me?"

"No, of course not. Show a smile. Let's all be happy." Gun Gun mimicked his words and made a face.

Da Bao smiled even wider.

Lu Weijian smeared cream on Gun Gun's face with a backhand.

Gun Gun was stunned.

When he came to his senses, he picked up the largest slice with both hands and shouted, "Second Uncle, stop right there!"

Da Bao and Huo Zhong laughed so hard that they could not straighten their backs.

Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu smiled sincerely.

Only Lu Yaolan was deep in thought.

Starlight shone in the sky, covering the dark sky.

Lu Heting held Su Bei's hand and stood on the balcony to avoid the noise inside.

He still held Su Bei's fingers tightly as if he was afraid of losing her.

"Are you still worried? Aren't I fine now?" Su Bei teased him with a smile.

"Fortunately, Fu Yujia and Lu Yaolan only wanted your reputation to be ruined and nothing else. You took a risk and exposed Fu Yujia. It was indeed worrying."

Su Bei smiled and said, "That's why I informed you early and knew that you would protect me. There were so many people outside."

"You told me not to come," Lu Heting emphasized.

"It'd take some time for Fu Yujia to be exposed. If you came over so soon, she wouldn't have done anything."

"Is it worth it for you to do all this for me?"

"For you?"

Lu Heting lowered his eyes and looked at her. "You know that I want to cut off my cooperation with the Fu family but the problems lie in convincing Grandpa and feeling guilty toward Fu Xing. Only by letting Fu Yujia reveal her true colors and letting Grandpa know that she's a scheming person will he agree to my actions. Only by letting Fu Xing see his sister's actions will I be able to answer to Fu Xing and not let down my friend. The outside world won't say that the Lu family was ungrateful just because I cut off my cooperation with them either. Isn't everything you did for me?"

Seeing that he completely understood her actions, Su Bei raised her eyebrows and smiled, showing her dimples. "Now that everything's done and you've seen how well I treat you, it wasn't in vain for me to do such a thing. Besides, I'm now…"

She turned around and raised her slender and fair arms. "I survived unscathed. What are you worried about?"1

As soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled into Lu Heting's arms.

Su Bei lay on his chest, feeling stable and steady.

"I want you to always be by my side unscathed."

Lu Heting whispered in her ear and turned to look at the living room. Lu Heting and Huo Zhong were being chased by Da Bao and Gun Gun who had cake in their hands. A smile appeared on his lips.

He hoped that the coming years would always be peaceful.

…

Su Bei's identity as Su Lu had been exposed in the United States.

However, because it was far away and very few people in the United States paid attention to the matter, no one in S Country knew about it.
