1730 Giving Away The Things Of Another
When Old Madam He heard these words, she felt at ease. People always liked to hear good things.
“As for the painting I gave Grandpa He, perhaps you don’t know this yet, but I’m quite familiar with Su Lu. He gave me this painting for the sake of our friendship. I guess it can be considered that I’m giving away another person’s gift.”
“Are you very familiar with Su Lu?” Old Master He asked with interest.
“Yes, we used to be colleagues,” Xu Zhiqin said with a nod.
Su Bei stood up with a smile and said, “Grandpa, Zhiqin and Su Lu are not only colleagues but also good friends. Didn’t Xiao Ming happen to be in S Country previously?”
“Xiao Ming’s incident caused a huge commotion. I heard about it even in the United States.” Old Master He nodded.
“Yes, Xiao Ming committed a very serious crime. Zhiqin won the Best Newcomer Award at that time, but she didn’t want to receive the same award as Xiao Ming, so she directly rejected it. After that, she and Su Lu helped the witness in Xiao Ming’s case collect evidence and organize the information. Zhiqin worked hard for that case and finally got justice for the victim,” Su Bei said.
Old Master He really didn’t know that Xu Zhiqin had done that. Hearing Su Bei say it, he couldn’t help but secretly nod.
Old Madam He’s attitude changed slightly.
She had only heard bad things about Xu Zhiqin’s before this. Of course, she didn’t think she was worthy of the He family.
But now, she sounded like a decent person.
“As for Zhiqin’s scandals, they’re actually not true. Back then, Pan Hongsen and Zhiqin were indeed in a relationship. Zhiqin was extremely benevolent to him and even helped him take care of his mother. Who knew that after he cheated on her, he turned the tables on her and made Zhiqin suffer just so the mistress wouldn’t suffer? Everything after that was clarified.”
Su Bei knew the reason why Old Madam He didn’t like Xu Zhiqin. She had already inquired about it in the past two days, so she took the chance to explain everything now.
Wei Yuxin was shocked because she had told Old Madam He a lot of dirt about Xu Zhiqin.
Hearing Su Bei’s words, she suddenly realized something and said, “So that’s what happened. The media is really misleading. Every time something happens, they’ll report it with great fanfare. But when it’s clarified, they don’t leave enough space for us to see a portion of the truth.”
Her words were actually specially said to Old Madam He to prevent her from suspecting her.
Old Madam He was indeed a little suspicious of Wei Yuxin, but they had known each other for many years, so she did not think so badly of her.
Moreover, she knew that Wei Yuxin liked He Xuyan. Sometimes, it was understandable for Wei Yuxin to be a little hostile to Xu Zhiqin.
Old Madam He said, “That’s true. Besides, we live in the United States, which is especially far from S Country. It’s impossible for us to know some news in time, so it’s inevitable to have some misunderstandings sometimes.”
Su Bei smiled and said, “Grandma, it’s normal to have some misunderstandings. But since it’s a misunderstanding, can’t we resolve it?”
Old Madam He liked Su Bei very much. She smiled and nodded. “The misunderstanding will naturally be resolved.”
Although she would not agree to the marriage immediately, her attitude toward Xu Zhiqin had finally changed.
Wei Yuxin’s expression was a little ugly. She picked up her teacup and drank some tea to cover up her expression.
Seeing He Xuyan look at Xu Zhiqin without blinking, jealousy grabbed Wei Yuxin’s heart, not giving her a chance to breathe.
He Jiang and Lin Xiruo seemed to be especially satisfied with Xu Zhiqin.
But why?
She grew up with He Xuyan, didn’t she? But Su Bei sided with Xu Zhiqin. Why should others side with Xu Zhiqin?
What did she do wrong? Was there anything she couldn’t compare to Xu Zhiqin?
Lin Xiruo smiled gently at the side. “Actually, some misunderstandings caused by poor information are indeed inevitable. However, if it’s deliberately caused by someone, we’ll really have to investigate it carefully.”
Wei Yuxin clenched her fists tightly, feeling uneasy.
Fortunately, Lin Xiruo said, “But I believe there won’t be such a despicable person in our He family who confuses right and wrong. Therefore, this matter will be left in the past. Let’s not mention it again in the future.”
These words were a small blow to Wei Yuxin.
After all, the Wei family and the He family were family friends. Lin Xiruo could not be too straightforward.
Wei Yuxin’s expression changed several times before she finally calmed down.
Old Madam He nodded in agreement.
Seeing that even the two elders were showing signs of being convinced, Wei Yuxin felt even more indignant.
She turned to look at He Shihui, hoping that she could say a few words for her. Unfortunately, He Shihui only held her teacup and tasted the tea carefully as if she did not notice her predicament.
Wei Yuxin was disappointed.
Lin Xiruo smiled and said, “Mom, since everyone is so happy, I’ll bring Xuyan and Zhiqin back to the mansion tonight, okay?”
Although Old Madam He still had some prejudices, she missed her son and grandson so much. When she heard this, she took advantage of the situation and agreed, “Alright, alright. Let the butler help you bring the things over. You should be staying at home.”
The butler immediately responded and went to He Xuyan’s villa not far away to get the things.
Actually, the onlookers could see things clearer than those involved. The butler could see it clearer than anyone else. Xu Zhiqin and He Xuyan’s relationship could not be stopped by external forces. Most of the family was on Xu Zhiqin’s side. How could other opinions be formed?
Su Bei secretly gave Xu Zhiqin a victory sign.
Wei Yuxin’s heart was pierced.
Old Master He smiled and said, “Zhiqin, since you’re friends with Su Lu and have done some research on paintings, you can come with me to the study to admire my collection when you’re free.”
“Gladly, Grandpa He,” Xu Zhiqin said quickly.
As for her understanding of paintings, she was definitely not an expert as she only dabbled it in as a hobby.
But what did it matter?
Her biggest benefactor, Su Bei, was right beside her!
It wouldn’t be difficult to resolve this problem!
Seeing this, Wei Yuxin’s face completely stiffened, and she looked especially ugly.
How could she give Xu Zhiqin a chance to leave a good impression on the elders?
She had often come to the He family since she was young and was one of He Xuyan’s few friends of the opposite sex. She grew up with him and was more suitable to be by He Xuyan’s side.
Xu Zhiqin was a woman who appeared halfway. What right did she have?
…
In Old Master He’s study.
As soon as Xu Zhiqin walked in, she was stunned by the paintings inside.
