Chapter 75(1/2)
The old man's face was gloomy, but his family's shame should not be revealed. He still had to close the door for his children's affairs. He took Lu Jinghan and left alone.
On the day Zhang Heran and Xia Xiaomu were drinking, they could see his relationship with Lu Jinghan.
Seeing this situation, I immediately imagined the scene where the wealthy young man fell in love with a poor boy and was opposed by his parents, which triggered a fierce struggle with the family for the sake of his lover.
If Lu Jinghan had the ability to fight against the old man and take the initiative, Xia Xiaomu could still get what he wanted and create a beautiful fairy tale about a gray boy with a prince.
But if Lu Jinghan could not resist, he could only obey the old man. Then Xia Xiaomu would be in a tragedy.
Either sacrifice yourself to be an underground lover who has a lifetime of words, or watch Lu Jinghan marry a young lady from the same wealthy family.
Or, Lu Jinghan gave him some money and told him how far he was and how far he went.
Although he was blamed by Mr. Lu for believing Lu Jinghan's words and giving Xia Qianbai's special treatment at the art exhibition, he still sympathized with Xia Xiaomu in his heart.
This child is quite cute and has a good personality. It is said that he has talent in painting. But he just dates a wealthy young master, so how can Mr. Lu tolerate it?
With the old man's prestige in the art world, Xia Xiaomu would never be able to make a living by painting any longer.
There are also works exhibited by Xia Qianbai, which may have been ordered to be removed by Mr. Lu.
What a pity!
Although Zhang Heran could not estimate the value of Xia Qianbai's works, he felt that Xia Qianbai's paintings looked very comfortable, giving people a feeling of returning to nature. As he looked at them, he wanted to buy a picture to hang it at home.
He shook his head and sighed, reminding Xia Xiaomu: "Old Master Lu is very dissatisfied with Xia Qianbai's massive painting exhibition. You... be mentally prepared."
Xia Xiaomu was originally uneasy because of the old man's sudden cold attitude towards him, and even called Jing Han alone to walk.
When he heard Zhang Heran say this, he was extremely worried and asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Heran: "What do you mean? You don't know what it means? I've been hurt by you because of this exhibition. I thought it was Mr. Lu who took special care of you. It turned out that it was just a one-sided order from Young Master Jing Han."
He pointed to Xia Qianbai's works all over the room: "Think about it, a celebrity like Xie Wen has only exhibited three paintings. Of course, Professor Xie doesn't care about such art exhibitions at all. Exhibitions are just to give our association a face.
But your dad has never heard of many people. It would be strange if the old man didn't doubt it. This is what happened to bring disaster."
Xia Xiaomu's head buzzed instantly.
So... it was the old man who guessed his relationship with Lu Jinghan?!
He panicked and his face turned pale. He knew that there would always be a day when this happened, but he didn't expect that when it came, he would be so helpless.
Then, what should Brother Jing Han do?
Will he be driven out of the Lu family by Grandpa Lu because of himself?
How is that possible? In the novel, Lu Jinghan has a strong stubborn attitude towards getting Lu's family.
But in the current situation, Grandpa Lu would never let himself be with Lu Jinghan. He would have to force him to do something.
Could it be that Lu Jinghan can’t escape the fate of being with Xie Weiwan?
Xia Xiaomu was really panicked. Now things have developed long ago, and the plot in the novel he knew has not helped him in any way.
Seeing that he was in a state of silence, Zhang Heran didn't know how to persuade him. The exhibition began soon, and he had to go to the reception room to receive the invited famous painters.
He patted Xia Xiaomu on the shoulder and left first.
In the reception room.
Xie Wen held a piece of promotional paper in her hand and looked at it seriously. It was Xia Qianbai's work promotional newspaper.
As soon as Zhang Heran saw her, his face was filled with smiles and rushed over to shake hands: "Oh, Professor Xie, you are here.
It’s so honor for me, Zhang, to see you. Oh, you are really much younger and more beautiful than watching on TV.”
Xie Wen shook hands with him politely and smiled slightly: "You have talked about it."
After finally seeing such a famous person, Zhang Heran was very excited. He wanted to find a topic to chat, but he was thinking about asking for an autograph.
Seeing Xie Wen's expression was faint, he kept reading Xia Qianbai's publicity newspaper.
Then he went over to persuade her and said, "If you are interested in this person's works, I suggest you go and read them now."
He looked around and saw that no one came in, and lowered his voice again: "Maybe, you might be all removed in a while."
Xie Wen raised her eyes and asked in surprise: "Removal? Why?!"
The organizer prepared a VIP lounge for Mr. Lu.
After Lu Jinghan followed Mr. Lu in, his expression was calm and not at all confusing, and he still looked at what I could do.
Mr. Lu looked at him and felt angry. He snorted coldly: "Is it for the sake of that Xia Xiaomu if he refuses to engage in Xie Weiwan?"
Lu Jinghan said lightly: "Since you know everything, what else are you asking?"
He only cares about what means his grandfather would use to force him to separate Xia Xiaomu. He had to come up with a solution to protect them.
Mr. Lu knocked on the ground with a crutch: "You really think I can't do anything about you. In order to please Xia Xiaomu, it is really disappointing to ask Zhang Heran to give Xia Qianbai's painting show so much. It's really a disappointment to do such a child's business!"
Lu Jinghan frowned: "All things go by. Whatever you want to do to me is between me and Xia Xiaomu, but it can't involve Xia Qianbai's painting exhibition."
Mr. Lu laughed: "Even if one thing is to be the same? Do you regard such a large art exhibition as a play for coaxing your little lover? What a little Xia, who is unknown, dares to be as famous as Xie Yu and Xie Wen!
Not to mention that the people from the association will point fingers behind their backs, he will not be afraid of being questioned by everyone or ridiculed by visitors.”
Lu Jinghan: "The reason I do this is because I think Xia Qianbai's paintings are worthy of being exhibited so much. You know how to draw, and I believe that after you have seen his works, you won't think so."
Lu Jinghan doesn't know how to draw, but he believes in Xia Xiaomu.
Xia Xiaomu once said that once Xia Qianbai's works are exposed to the world, they will definitely cause a wave of shock in the art world.
Mr. Lu: "I don't know when you started to care about artists. But anyone with some talent will not be known to the world at this age. I think you are also blinded. Everything is good when you meet Xia Xiaomu."
Lu Jinghan spoke in a sincere tone: "Grandpa, I really advise you to go and take a look before making a conclusion."
"Okay."
Mr. Lu interrupted him with sharp eyes and quiet voice.
"I will give you a chance to please Xia Xiaomu. If you want Xia Qianbo's art exhibition to continue smoothly, you can. In exchange, you will hand over all the projects you manage in your hands now, and take your people in Lu's family back to your Fengxing Holdings (Lu Jinghan's own company)."
"Otherwise, you know, in my words, all Xia Qianbai's works will have to be removed."
Lu Jinghan's heart suddenly became tight.
Sure enough, grandpa would threaten himself with Xia Qianbai's art exhibition.
For several months.
No, to be precise, he began to secretly prepare for the power two years ago, and finally gained a firm foothold in the Lu family step by step and had a certain management right.
Moreover, he worked hard to manage, cultivate assistants, gain connections, and penetrated his own people into the huge group of Lutherans little by little.
These are all secret and secret operations.
He just wanted to wait until one day to take down the Lu family in one fell swoop. However, because he refused to engage Xie Weiwan and fought with his grandfather, he had to expose all the secret forces hidden in the Lu family.
Now that he has given up, he has almost cut off his efforts to manage his hard work for so long. And his grandfather will take advantage of this opportunity to clean up all the people he left in the Lu family.
It will be difficult to get in again from now on!
Ka Xia Qianbai Painting Exhibition...
Lu Jinghan gritted his teeth and took a breath.
He understood how much Xia Xiaomu looked forward to the smooth progress of Xia Qianbai Painting Exhibition. During this period, Xia Xiaomu has been busy with this matter, as tirelessly as she was.
Even when I left the door in the morning, my eyes flashed with anticipation and said: I finally waited for this day!
Xiao Mu had no interest in the valuable gifts he gave him, and he was not interested in throwing the bank card he gave him aside. He didn't even care how much money he had.
He only cares about the opportunity to expose his and Xia Qianbai's works.
How do he choose this?
He clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.
Now that I have offended my grandfather, if I leave Lu's family now, it will be even more difficult to go in again in the future.
Giving up Lu is equivalent to giving up the power and status that he has been able to achieve for many years of hard work, as well as his desire to give Xia Xiaomu a better future life.
Lu Jinghan looked at Grandpa Lu without hiding the coldness in his eyes.
Mr. Lu didn't care at all: "Aren't you always decisive and decisive? Why would you hesitate?"
He looked at Lu Jinghan with a scrutiny in his eyes, wondering whether Lu Jinghan would choose a career or a man?
Lu Jinghan's eyes faded.
He silently recited it three times in his heart: Xiao Mu, I'm sorry.
There is still a chance at the art exhibition.
But Lu's loss never comes again.
As long as he has power and status, he can do any art exhibitions Xia Xiaomu wants to hold in the future.
But without power, he could not even guarantee that Xia Xiaomu would have a luxurious future life.
A temporary gain or loss does not mean a lifetime of failure.
It's just a temporary trade-off.
