1763 One Must Keep One’s Promise
“Grandpa, I have a friend who’s doing something very important today. I made an appointment with her prior, so I really can’t go to Cousin’s exhibition. Please relay my apologies and bring the gift over.”
Old Master He did not force her. “Alright, you have to keep your word. Since you promised your friend before, you should indeed go and meet her. I’ll explain it to your cousin.”
“Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma.” Su Bei smiled.
Old Madam He looked at her. “Go out and come back early. Call me if you need anything.”
“Got it, Grandpa and Grandma.” Su Bei quickly ran out to find a place to change.
Old Master He and Old Madam He smiled. They shook their heads as they got into the car.
When they arrived at He Shihui’s art exhibition, there were already guests and reporters everywhere.
Seeing Old Master He and Old Madam He, everyone was respectful and greeted them politely.
“Grandpa, Grandma!” He Shihui stepped forward to welcome them.
Wei Yuxin also took this opportunity to come forward. “Grandpa He, Grandma He.”
Because of what had happened last time, Old Madam He did have some grudges against her. She was so angry that she did not care about the reputation of He Consortium at this moment.
However, one couldn’t slap a smiling person in front of the media. Old Madam He didn’t flare up and let her come forward to support her.
The reporters took the opportunity to do some interviews.
Old Master He did not want to steal his granddaughter’s limelight. He only said some encouraging words and blessings.
He Shihui spoke with confidence and composure.
“Miss He, I heard that the head of the family’s daughter has returned home recently. Why didn’t she appear today?” a reporter asked.
There were rumors that He Jiang’s lost daughter had returned, but very few people had seen her. They didn’t even know her name. Only He Xuyan’s close friends knew.
However, these friends also knew He Xuyan’s temper and did not dare to say anything to outsiders. Hence, Su Bei’s identity and appearance were very mysterious now.
Indeed, He Shihui did not see Su Bei appear.
Although Su Bei had clearly said that she might not have time to come over, He Shihui still felt a trace of displeasure.
Even Old Master He and Old Madam He had personally rushed over. Wei Yuxin also made time to send gifts and help greet the guests. Su Bei was the only one who didn’t show up at all, which made He Shihui a little unhappy.
“My cousin just came back and isn’t very familiar with the environment here. Besides, she has an appointment with a friend, so she didn’t come tonight. However, my sister has already given me a gift and seen my paintings,” He Shihui said with a smile.
The reporters automatically thought that this cousin of hers was not presentable. Perhaps she was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she was questioned here, so she avoided appearing in public.
As expected, she was indeed picked up from outside. How could the education she received outside compare to the environment of He Consortium?
They already had a firm image of Su Bei’s character now.
However, He Shihui said it gently and generously without any other emotions, so Old Master He and Old Madam He did not pay much attention to it.
“Alright, the art exhibition is about to begin. Please take a seat inside,” He Shihui called out to everyone.
Old Master He’s old friends had also arrived. He Shihui went forward to welcome them warmly and personally poured them their favorite tea.
Actually, it was good that Su Bei didn’t come. She sensed that if Su Bei came, she might steal her limelight.
Although she didn’t know how good Su Bei was at handling people and communicating with them, just her ability to make the two elders happy made it known that she was not t be underestimated.
He Shihui quickly chatted happily with the elders.
Everyone praised Old Master He, “Old Master He, you’re really lucky! Shihui is really talented and capable. We’re so envious!”
“It’s a pity that Shihui married early. Otherwise, I would have asked my grandson to pursue her! Hahaha, Jiangfan, I was just joking. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Naturally, Wei Jiangfan didn’t mind. He smiled and welcomed the elders with He Shihui.
Soon, the exhibition began. Li Yishou had decorated the place extravagantly. He Shihui’s paintings were hung up at the scene, and they were very eye-catching among the flowers.
Everyone praised and admired He Shihui.
Old Master He was also very satisfied. He had liked such paintings for many years, and He Shihui’s paintings were in the style he liked. Old Master He nodded repeatedly as he looked at them.
“Old He, I envy you!”
“Old He, I want to buy one of Shihui’s paintings for my collection. You won’t object, right?”
Old Master He smiled and said, “Why wouldn’t I agree? As long as Shihui is okay with it, I’m okay too!”
He Shihui smiled and said, “Grandpa Tan, you’re really kind. I’ll be overjoyed if you like my painting. How can there be a problem? I’ll let you decide on a painting first and then I’ll send it to your residence!”
Old Master Tan laughed heartily.
The entire exhibition went very smoothly.
“How’s the situation on Su Lu’s side?” He Shihui asked.
Li Yishou had arranged for someone to keep an eye on the exhibition over there. When she heard the question, she immediately said, “Nothing much. Not many people went. The scene is relatively quiet. There are no reporters either. It’s very ordinary.”
He Shihui was relieved. It was such a waste to choose such a good place.
Qian Guohua and Su Lu’s abilities must be ordinary. They were not as impressive as the rumors said.
Li Yishou sent a photo of the scene to He Shihui, who was relieved to see it.
Wei Yuxin also took a look and said with a smile, “Sister Shihui, is this your competitor? No, such a person is not worthy of being your competitor. Hahaha, this scene is really ridiculous!”
He Shihui smiled and said, “It’s inevitable for others to be unfamiliar with this place.”
“A stranger holding an art exhibition in the art center? I don’t know what kind of luck he had to persuade Miss Dubilat to give up the venue. But then again, Miss Dubilat has a temperament that’s unpredictable. Who knows how she was convinced? But you can’t change incompetence. To hold an art exhibition in such a good place only to end up attracting a few people, it’s really funny. The art center probably doesn’t want to see such a scene either, right?”
Li Yishou smiled and said, “Miss Wei is right. The art center probably regrets letting them use the venue. This is probably the most deserted art exhibition.”
Wei Yuxin nodded and asked, “Why didn’t Su Bei come to the art exhibition tonight?”
