Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1602: Keeping Score

“I still have something on. I’ll come and see you next time.” Su Bei really couldn’t eat anymore, so she could only escape for the time being.

“By the way, Su Bei, in a few days, the daughter of our friend will come to visit us from America. At that time, I’ll introduce her to you. It’s been so long since I brought you back to the He family. It’s time for you to get to know some of our friends,” Lin Xiruo said.

“Okay.” Su Bei nodded.

“Hurry up and send your daughter off.” Lin Xiruo pushed He Jiang out.

Although Su Bei had driven over, He Jiang got his driver to drive Su Bei’s car while he drove Su Bei home himself.

It was good for him to spend more time with her.

She was old now and had her own family. All she needed was to be very rich.

He Jiang knew that he could not give his daughter much, so he did his best in every other small matter.

“If work doesn’t go well, let me know if you need anything,” He Jiang said.

Su Bei smiled. “Yes, I will. But now I take on jobs according to my mood. I only take on jobs when I see a suitable script.”

He Jiang reached out and ruffled his daughter’s hair.

“I like this job very much. Even though there are some bad rumors about the industry and even though not all the people in the industry are good people, there are always bad apples no matter what industry it is. Some people and things can’t be avoided. Dad, I think it’s great to be able to be a model and an actress and live on my own,” Su Bei said softly.

He Jiang laughed. “Are you afraid that I’ll bring you back to the He family to inherit the family business?”

After being seen through by her father, Su Bei smiled. Her worry was not unreasonable. How badly had He Xuyan been forced by the He family?

Su Bei naturally hoped to give her father a heads-up first so that they wouldn’t be unhappy about these things when they found out later on.

“Dad, you won’t, right?” Su Bei asked.

He Jiang smiled. “You’re not your brother. I want you to be free and live the life you want.”

“Then can’t my brother be free?” While fighting for herself, Su Bei also wanted to fight for her brother.

“Someone has to inherit the He family’s business and manage it. Your heart aches for your brother, but don’t you feel sorry for me, your father?” He Jiang’s tone was filled with jealousy.

Only then did Su Bei remember that her father was already in his 50s. Although he was still energetic now, he would eventually grow old. No wonder he was so anxious to have her brother come home.

She was speechless for a moment and thought about it seriously. If she stopped filming in the future and her father needed her, she might not refuse.

Seeing that his daughter was deep in thought, He Jiang knew that she had taken this question to heart. He couldn’t help but dote on her. “Don’t think too much about it first. I’m still young. I can afford to give you the freedom that Lu Heting is giving you too.”

Su Bei’s heart warmed.

When they arrived at her neighborhood, Su Bei did not get out of the car immediately. “Dad, why don’t you come upstairs and have something to drink?”

“Yes.” He Jiang had indeed not been here before.

As he drove into the neighborhood, he frowned.

Initially, he didn’t doubt Lu Heting’s feelings and concern for Su Bei, but the environment of this neighborhood…

It was not that he was picky, but even Su Bei’s net worth when she first debuted was not compatible with this neighborhood.

This neighborhood had nothing at all. The surroundings, the density of the buildings, the greenery, and the facilities… He Jiang kept sizing the place up.

Why would his daughter need to live in such a place?

His expression turned serious. It seemed that he had neglected his daughter’s living situation and did not care enough about her.

“Xiao Bei, are you going to stay here forever?” He Jiang hid the displeasure in his voice.

Su Bei looked back at He Jiang and replied with a smile, “That’s right. Although this neighborhood isn’t very new, the school district is very good. When I was in America, I specially asked my friends to help me buy the property here. It’s very convenient for Da Bao and Gun Gun to go to school.”

He Jiang rubbed his eyebrows. Did Su Bei buy the house herself?

Was the Lu family refusing to let Su Bei in?

His daughter of the He family had to suffer like this?

He Jiang suppressed the urge to take Su Bei away immediately and followed her into the elevator.

The environment of the neighborhood was ordinary, but the elevator was alright. There were very few people. It was quiet, and there were almost no outsiders.

However, this could not change He Jiang’s opinion.

When they reached the door, Su Bei invited He Jiang in.

For convenience’s sake, Su Bei walked through the door of the unit that originally had three bedrooms and one living room. All the rooms here were still the same.

After entering, He Jiang couldn’t help but ask, “Lu Heting intends to continue letting you stay here?”

Sensing her father’s attitude, Su Bei pursed her lips and smiled. “Dad, let’s go over and sit for a while. Da Bao and Gun Gun should be back from school soon.”

He Jiang was in a very bad mood. He was almost in an explosive state. He was just short of a small spark that would ignite soon.

He didn’t want to scare her, so he followed her.

It seemed that it was time for him to have a good chat with Lu Heting in private.

“Dad, over here.” Su Bei opened the secret door in the wall and called out to He Jiang.

She could already tell what her father was feeling. She regretted using this door. She should have used the main door over there.

From the looks of it, her father must think that Lu Heting was mistreating her. She quickly opened the secret door.

He Jiang walked in, and his eyebrows relaxed a little. There was a proper living room on the side. The raised living room was dozens of meters tall, and Roman pillars supported the weight of the house.

The setting sun shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The exquisite workmanship revealed the owner’s intentions.

The house was spacious. Although it was not as big as a big villa, it was warm. This place wasn’t something Lu Heting could have decorated with his rigid personality.

“Dad, please sit down,” Su Bei said with a smile. She saw that his eyebrows had relaxed a little.

The butler was already standing at the side. When he heard Su Bei call the middle-aged man ‘Dad’, he immediately set off and served the best hot tea at home.

Su Bei knew that He Jiang was not satisfied with this place. Perhaps he was still keeping score of Lu Heting. She smiled and said, “Back then, Heting said several times that he wanted me, Da Bao, and Gun Gun to move to Lu Hu International Villa. I was the one who refused to move. I think the environment here is very suitable for us to live in. It’s also convenient for the two children to go to school.”

He Jiang could tell that she was speaking up for Lu Heting. He quickly recorded it down in his mind.
