Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1770 Violating Lu Heting’s Portrait Rights

“This…” He Shihui was indeed at a loss for words, but she quickly found an excuse. “As a mother, I naturally think about my child a lot. Therefore, the oil painting shows the image of my child. It also represents a fantasy of humans when they were children. I think this child represents the thoughts I have in my head.”

After she finished speaking, everyone could not help but nod.

It was Su Bei’s turn.

With a confident smile on her face, Su Bei said, “Oh, then my thoughts are much simpler. This is what my friend’s husband looked like when he was young. My friend gave me a photo and asked me to make a painting. It seems that Miss He and I are really telepathic. You said it’s a fantasy of yours, yet you came up with a figure that looks exactly like my friend’s husband.”

!!

“What…” He Shihui was really stunned!

There was also a burst of discussion below the stage. “What her friend’s husband looked like when he was young? If it’s true, then there’s really conclusive evidence!”

“I didn’t expect Su Lu to have this up his sleeve!”

“I wonder how Miss He will explain this?”

He Shihui’s expression was a little ugly. She couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Wang Hui said angrily, “Are we supposed to believe that figure is your friend’s husband just because you say so? What evidence do you have? It’s all too easy to fool people!”

Su Bei was already prepared. “Then I’ll tell you who the person in the photo is. It’s Lu Heting. If you don’t believe me, I can show you!”

“Lu Heting? The head of the Lu family in S Country?”

“He’s not the one we’re thinking of, is he?”

“It seems so!”

“So Su Lu is friends with Lu Heting?”

Su Bei grinned. “No, I’m friends with Su Bei, so she asked me to paint her husband. Is that okay? If you don’t believe me, you can look for Su Bei to verify it! By the way, I also want to know what kind of consequences one has to bear for violating Lu Heting’s portrait rights.”

This was the photo Han Qingwan had given her back then. She saw that it was cute, so she decided to use it as inpsiration for an oil painting. The more she looked at the end product, the more satisfied she was. That was why she handed it to Master Carlo.

She really didn’t expect that someone would copy this painting!

Su Bei had such good evidence. There was no way the other party could avoid the humiliation that was about to come.

When Su Bei showed the photo, everyone saw that it was indeed an old photo. Although they were not sure if it was Lu Heting, they could just ask Su Bei for confirmation.

Since Su Lu dared to show the photo, everyone tacitly agreed that he had obtained the authorization. There was no need to worry.

He Shihui’s face was a little pale.

No matter how brainless Wang Hui was, she could see her daughter’s intention to retreat and her timidity.

After Su Bei returned, she had been giving her cousin and aunt some face. However, these two people always wanted to suppress others and step on them to climb up the ladder.

Su Bei couldn’t be bothered to face them anymore. She asked, “Madam He, shouldn’t we call the police to deal with the violation of portrait rights?”

Wang Hui was the one who had suggested calling the police, but now, she was waving her hand.

Even with He Consortium’s wealth, if they were sued by Lu Heting, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg!

No, that wasn’t right! She suddenly thought of something. As long as she begged Su Bei, there would be a chance to turn things around.

She immediately said, “Lu Heting and Su Bei are husband and wife, so it’s okay for Shihui to draw Lu Heting, right?”

“Did Su Bei agree?” Su Bei really found it funny and couldn’t help but ask.

Old Master He was deeply embarrassed and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?! Shut up!”

Wang Hui hurriedly lowered her head.

He Shihui stood on the stage, trembling.

She looked at Li Yishou, who was also in a panic. At that time, she only knew that Su Lu’s painting was very likely to be fancied by Master Carlo, so she went to take photos of Su Lu’s work for He Shihui to copy. As for what Su Lu had painted, she really had no idea.

Besides, ordinary people would not know what Lu Heting looked like when he was young!

Even if she didn’t mean to make such a big mistake, she knew that He Shihui would definitely blame everything on her.

She broke out in a cold sweat at the thought.

Master Carlo looked at the situation and roughly understood what was going on. He said, “Since the matter has been clarified, my apprentice is naturally Su Lu. As for the other painter…”

He didn’t say anything else and saved Old Master He some face, but he couldn’t help but shake his head.

Old Master He said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t educate the younger generation of my family well enough, so such a thing happened! Please forgive me! I apologize to everyone here! Master, please forgive me for taking my leave first!”

As soon as he left, Wang Hui, He Shihui, and Li Yishou immediately followed him while stumbling.

Everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads. Then, they congratulated Su Lu for becoming Master Carlo’s disciple.

Qian Guohua rushed forward. “Su Lu! You scared me to death! I really thought I had harmed you! I wasn’t paying attention for a moment and gave Li Yishou a chance to see your painting!”

“It’s okay.” Su Bei shook her head. “Just be careful in the future.”

Master Carlo left with Su Lu, and the others were happy to admire the paintings and chat.

Only the atmosphere in the He family was abnormally heavy.

“How could you do such a thing?!” Old Master He was too angry!

He Shihui’s face turned pale. She never expected that she would fail under such circumstances.

“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I was muddle-headed for a moment because I wanted to become Master Carlo’s apprentice so badly… I like him very much and have always hoped to receive his guidance. I was afraid that if I missed this opportunity, I wouldn’t have it again,” He Shihui said while crying.

Seeing that she really loved painting, Old Master He couldn’t blame her anymore. He only said, “No matter what it is you like, you can’t use illegal methods to get it. That’s unfair to others. Even if you manage to get your hands on something that doesn’t belong to you, it won’t be yours!”

“I understand your teachings! I’ll remember them!”

She was already in her 30s. Seeing that she knew her mistake, Old Master He stopped talking. “Think about how to deal with this matter.”

Wang Hui interrupted and said, “Can’t we just get Su Bei to step forward and say that she gave us the authorization?”

“Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” Old Master He said angrily, “You’ve led your daughter astray, and you still want to lead Su Bei astray?”

...

Wang Hui was so scared that she didn’t dare to say anything else.

Seeing this opportunity, Li Yishou hurriedly said, “Old Master, it’s all my fault. I gave Miss He this idea and asked her to do as I said, causing her to make a mistake. It’s my fault! Please punish me!”
