Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1764 Useless

Li Yishou had never seen Su Bei before. She had only heard He Shihui mention her before. She said calmly, “Why else? Should she come and be a foil for Miss He? She has no talent or virtue. It’s good that she isn’t here.”

Wei Yuxin was also extremely displeased with Su Bei standing up for Xu Zhiqin. When she heard that Li Yishou was targeting Su Bei, she seemed to have found a friend and said, “Su Bei isn’t enough to be a foil for Sister Shihui. She only knows how to cling to Xu Zhiqin’s thigh, afraid of losing her status in the He family in the future. Compared to Sister Shihui, the difference is like heaven and earth.”

He Shihui smiled and did not say anything.

She turned to receive the guests.

Li Yishou and Wei Yuxin said a few more bad things about Su Bei.

At the art center.

There were indeed not many people.

There were only a few people slowly admiring the paintings in Su Bei’s art exhibition.

It was precisely because there were few people that everyone was immersed in it and could obtain an excellent experience.

Tonight, Qian Gouhua did not do much publicity work.

Exhibitions were also a form of art. When one admired paintings, it wasn’t done with just a glance. Instead, one needed to immerse themselves in the experience. This had always been the way Qian Gouhua did it. It was not about winning with numbers.

Most of the people who bought tickets to attend were real enthusiasts. They were also relatively famous new painters in the industry.

Of course, there were also some real masters among them.

Even though these humble masters had been famous for a long time, they still taught and guided their juniors to carefully observe the merits of rising stars.

Hence, Su Bei’s art exhibition was not as useless as He Shihui and Li Yishou had imagined.

Although Su Bei did not receive many gifts for her exhibition, they were all exquisite.

In particular, Lu Heting had already prepared a gift and delivered it on time.

Halfway through the exhibition, a few Arab figures came over to admire the paintings.

It was Miss Dubilat who introduced them. She said that her friend was holding an art exhibition here, so they came with the mindset of admiring and learning. At this moment, they were also seriously admiring the paintings.

Qian Guohua smiled and said to Su Bei, “Su Lu, although the art exhibition this time isn’t very lively, it’ll still help you enter the mainstream painting industry in the United States. Look at those people over there. They all have a lot of fans in the media industry and love painting.”

“Why didn’t these people go to He Shihui’s side?” Su Bei asked.

Logically speaking, these people should be attracted by He Shihui’s fanfare.

“He Shihui’s paintings did have some charm in the early years, but now, in order to please those people in the business world, she has long lost her sense of self. Outsiders might not be able to tell, but how can experts not know? If He Consortium hadn’t spent a huge sum of money to increase her popularity, He Shihui’s painting career would have been ruined.”

Qian Gouhua, who really loved paintings, expressed great disdain for He Shihui’s paintings.

Su Bei nodded. That was true. Since He Shihui only relied on painting to achieve her commercial goals, she would naturally change her painting method.

As for why Old Master He liked her so much, it was probably because Old Master He was more tolerant of his granddaughter. Moreover, He Shihui knew what Old Master He liked the most. She could purposefully paint artwork that was suited to his taste.

Hence, He Shihui was bound to be abandoned by those who truly loved painting.

After the exhibition ended, Su Bei was a little tired. She received a call from Lu Heting.

“You specially waited until this time to call me?” Su Bei knew that he must have specially chosen the time. Otherwise, how could he be so accurate from so far away?

“Well, congratulations on the successful conclusion of the exhibition.” The man’s low voice sounded. Through the phone line, Su Bei’s ears felt itchy.

Her laughter was filled with joy as she said softly, “Thank you! Actually, I don’t know if the response will be good, but I’ve tried my best!”

“Of course.” Lu Heting had always trusted her.

He believed that whatever his woman did was the best.

Su Bei smiled even wider. No matter what the outcome was, she thought that this moment with him was the best.

…

He Shihui’s art exhibition was a success. The whole family was very satisfied.

However, the final outcome still depended on the response of the outside world.

When the news came out in the morning, the final conclusion would be reached.

In the next two days, the art exhibition continued to be displayed. Those who wanted to see the paintings could still go over, but it would not be as lively as the night of the opening.

That night, He Shihui returned with Old Master He and Old Madam He. When she saw that Su Bei had just returned, she smiled and said, “Su Bei, you’re back?”

“Congratulations on the success of tonight’s exhibition, Cousin,” Su Bei said with a smile.

“Thank you. It’s quite successful. We’ll be able to see the reviews tomorrow. The art exhibition will still be held for two more days, but I won’t be going. If you want to go, I’ll get the butler to send you there,” He Shihui said.

“I’ll go over when I’m free,” Su Bei said with a smile.

He Shihui did not tell her much. As she wanted to wait for the reviews tomorrow morning, she stayed at the He family’s mansion that night.

She was just waiting for the morning news to be released so that she could share it with Old Master He and Old Madam He.

It was breakfast time. Everyone woke up especially early today.

Comments on social media were already out. They praised He Shihui unanimously.

He Shihui held her phone and shared the comments with Old Master He and Old Madam He.

However, soon, their attention was attracted by another person on the hot searches.

“Is that Su Lu’s art exhibition?” Old Master He asked.

He Shihui had no choice but to click on that one.

Sure enough, they were commenting on Su Lu’s art exhibition.

He Shihui was familiar with many reporters, so everyone’s praises seemed like they came from a template. There was nothing special about the dry praises.

However, when she clicked on Su Lu’s article, it was different. A few enthusiasts praised Su Lu’s paintings with all kinds of words. Their words and actions were full of praise for Su Lu’s paintings. The paintings were described as the sunlight on the streets of America. The enthusiasts even said that they had changed the impression of S Country’s paintings in their hearts.

...

If these enthusiasts were just expressing their feelings, then the comments of the next few painters were very professional.

They pointed out the advantages of Su Lu’s paintings, such as their unfettered and unrestricted nature. It was easy to immerse oneself in them.

They also said that Su Lu never replicated himself. Every new work was a new exploration and pursuit of a new self. It was refreshing.

These comments received the approval of many people. The highest comment was liked by more than 10,000 people.

Compared to He Shihui’s data, it was much higher.
