1753 A Little Jealous
Only she had been helping the family since she was young. As soon as she graduated, she had been assisting her grandparents. She hoped that they would see her ability and let her take on more of the He family’s business.
However, no matter how hard she tried, her grandparents still longed for He Xuyan.
It was fine if it was He Xuyan, but Su Bei had only been back for a few days. Why did they have high expectations of her too?
He Shihui clenched her fists tightly, but she tried her best to maintain a bright smile on her face.
When the time came, He Jiang, Lin Xiruo, He Xuyan, and Xu Zhiqin bade farewell and left.
As soon as they left, Wang Hui, who was a little timid, finally looked Su Bei up and down.
Su Bei looked like Lin Xiruo, and because she had He Jiang’s temperament, she was slightly less gentle than Lin Xiruo. Instead, she had a heroic spirit. Her facial features were bright and delicate, and she was exceptionally tall. She had inherited the best features of both the Lin and He families.
“Are you Su Bei?” Wang Hui was envious and greeted her with a smile.
“Yes, I am. Aunt,” Su Bei replied with a smile.
The He family was originally an old-fashioned family. After arriving in the United States, they still retained their old-fashioned roots.
“Did you come back alone this time?” Wang Hui knew that she had married well.
Even though He Shihui had married well, the Wei family was quite wealthy to begin with. Although they were not among the eight major financial groups, they still had some influence in the United States.
Wei Jiangfan and He Shihui were well-matched in social status. Outsiders were envious of Wang Hui. Her daughter was outstandingly capable, beautiful, and generous. Meanwhile, her son-in-law was presentable and glamorous.
However, after Su Bei returned, she quietly defeated He Shihui.
Not only was she younger and prettier than He Shihui, but she was also more popular with the two elders than He Shihui. She married more than ten or even a hundred times better than He Shihui too.
Wang Hui felt a little jealous.
All these years, she could not compare to Lin Xiruo. It was all because Lin Xiruo came from such a prominent family.
Now, it turned out that even after her daughter had been running the company for so many years, she still could not compare to Lin Xiruo’s daughter. This made Wang Hui find it a little unfair.
Su Bei smiled and said, “Yes, I came back alone.”
“What about Mr. Lu?” Wang Hui asked with a smile.
“He’s busy, so it might be a while before he can come over to visit the elders.” Su Bei thought that Wang Hui was just being kind, so she answered her question seriously.
When Wang Hui heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. “I see. It’s indeed understandable for men to be busy. The more capable a man is, the busier he is. However, no matter how busy he is, he still has to maintain family relations. Look at your cousin-in-law. He’s always with your cousin. Your husband should learn from him.”
“How can you compare Jiangfen to Heting?” Old Madam He immediately spoke up for Su Bei.
Su Bei also heard a trace of bragging in this lady’s words. It was as if it was a sin that Lu Heting did not accompany her back this time.
Was this even worth comparing?
Wang Hui was even more satisfied now. “Hahaha, yes I can’t make such a comparison. Mr. Lu is indeed busier. He definitely doesn’t have time to accompany Su Bei.”
This was her flaw. She was a little petty. Old Madam He was familiar with her personality, so she couldn’t be bothered with her.
Wang Hui looked Su Bei up and down. Seeing that she was so beautiful but Lu Heting was still unwilling to accompany her back, she was secretly proud of herself. She also sighed inwardly. Indeed, it was not easy to enter a wealthy family. She wondered if Lu Heting had other women to accompany him at home after sending her back.
In that case, Su Bei was no one special.
“By the way, Heguang, come and meet your aunt.” Wang Hui pulled Wei Heguang over.
Just now, Su Bei and Wei Heguang had already greeted each other. Su Bei even gave him a gift.
However, this child was smart. There was always a hint of arrogance on his face. He was already arrogant at such a young age.
It was no wonder. The He and Wei families were both reputable families. He had been smart since he was young and had outstanding abilities. It was inevitable for him to be arrogant.
“Heguang is only ten years old this year, but he’s already in junior high school. He skipped three grades, and his studies are especially good now. He’s especially good at drawing, playing the piano, and playing games. He’s also an influential figure in his class.” When Wang Hui talked about her grandson, she couldn’t help but praise him. She was very proud of him.
Old Master He and Old Madam He also liked him a lot.
Actually, Su Bei had never mentioned Da Bao and Gun Gun. She planned on bringing them over and surprising the two elders, so Wang Hui did not know about Su Bei’s two children.
“Heguang, you’re the best.” Seeing that the child was arrogant, Su Bei simply praised him. She knew that no matter how much she said, he might not appreciate it.
Besides, he was indeed not as good as Da Bao.
If it weren’t for her and Lu Heting, Da Bao wouldn’t even want to go to high school. It was indeed difficult for Wei Heguang to have any impact on Su Bei.
Seeing that Su Bei did not feel anything and was not shocked at all, Wang Hui added, “Heguang even won second place in the American Painting Competition!”
“Really? That’s pretty good!” Su Bei praised. However, Gun Gun had already won the championship, so although she praised him sincerely, she felt that her son was better. Hence, in Wang Hui’s opinion, Su Bei’s response was a little perfunctory.
“Heguang also knows how to program! He knows how to play games! It’s not that I want to say this, but as long as Heguang touches your phone a few times, you’ll be monitored in the future!”
Wang Hui couldn’t help but praise him again.
He Shihui couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Mom, that’s enough. Heguang is powerful, but you don’t have to keep showing off to everyone.”
Wang Hui smiled and said, “I’m just sharing. Besides, your grandparents like it.”
As Old Master He and Old Madam He did not particularly like her, every time she came to the He family, there were not many topics to talk about.
However, as long as she mentioned Wei Heguang, Old Master He and Old Madam He would listen with relish no matter what she said. Therefore, as time passed, she developed a habit of focusing on Wei Heguang.
In particular, Old Master He and Old Madam He would be very interested in what she said about Wei Heguang. They would even ask a few questions, so she really did not have much to talk about other than this.
“I like listening to it too,” Su Bei said with a smile. She was indeed not averse to listening to topics about children. The world of children was simple and much better than the world of adults.
He Shihui looked at Su Bei deeply before looking away.
Wei Heguang’s gaze was a little arrogant. Usually, when others heard how powerful he was, they would praise him repeatedly and exclaim in admiration.
Only Su Bei looked very calm as if she did not care at all.
