He said meaningfully, “I don’t know why Su Bei would say that about me. Perhaps works like mine that are of higher artistic value will never be liked and favored by people like them. As an actress, she already has a huge amount of capital behind her. It’s hard for me to figure out if what she said is her true thoughts or if it’s because she has the capital to suppress directors like us, but I believe that as long as we advance toward the goal of art, film and art will never die!”
His words made it seem as though the entire Lu Group looked down on his artistic films and was using Su Bei to suppress him.
…
The moment Old Master Lu saw Su Bei’s stand in the Lu family’s mansion, he slapped his thigh excitedly and stood up. “Good, as expected of a member of the Lu family! We should abhor evil and have the guts to stand up for injustice!”
Old Madam Lu quickly supported him. “Don’t be so agitated since you’re not in good health.”
“Sigh, someone really needs to deal with a person like Xiao Ming. Su Bei did a good job. Children from the Lu family have to stand up for the weak and punish the bad guys.”
His unyielding nature had never changed.
Su Bei’s actions this time won his heart.
Gun Gun said in a childish voice, “Bei Bei is the best person. The person on stage must be a bad person.”
“Gun Gun is right. We can’t work with bad people like him. We have to fight him!” Old Master Lu stroked Gun Gun’s head.
Gun Gun tilted his head and said, “Yes, Bei Bei said that she wants the police to catch him! She also said that she won’t miss any big bad fish!”
“There’s always justice,” Da Bao chimed in.
“Butler, ask Heting and Su Bei to come over for dinner tomorrow night.” Old Master Lu’s impression of Su Bei had changed drastically.
“Can we come for dinner too?” Gun Gun asked.
Old Master Lu laughed and said, “Of course. How can you and Da Bao miss out on that?”
…
The matter of the Golden Crown Film Awards quickly occupied the major news sections with the highest popularity.
Su Bei’s direct confrontation with Xiao Ming caused a huge controversy.
There were people who supported Xiao Ming. [I think Director Xiao is right. He just loves art, yet he’s being accused so badly. The reason why Su Bei and Lu Heting are against him is that they didn’t win those awards for Split.]
[Director Xiao is a clear and honest person. He has already done enough. The capitalists are really forcing him to his death.]
[Even the court hasn’t decided on this. What right does Su Bei have? She’s indeed arrogant. After marrying into a wealthy family, she really thinks she’s something]
However, Su Bei still received a lot of support. [Su Bei must have her reasons for being so stubborn. I don’t believe she would diss Director Xiao for no reason.]
[Su Bei has always been righteous. I believe in her!]
[Am I the only one whose attention is all on Lu Heting’s interview? Don’t you think he was domineering? When he defended Su Bei, he was firm and merciless.]
[Count me in. Previously, I was a little worried when I saw that the couple hadn’t appeared for a long time. Now, I really don’t have to worry at all. Mr. Lu really dotes on her!]
There were also many other comments. [Let’s just quietly observe the development of the situation. It’s really hard to say who’s in the right or wrong. But it’s also amazing that Su Bei has the same attitude as the people from Nirvana Entertainment.]
[Nirvana Entertainment was founded by Lu Weijian. Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Lu Weijian now, it’s not surprising that they share the same stand.]
Later that night, Su Bei gave a simple interview with a host who had always been known for his sharp tongue.
“Su Bei, do you think Xiao Ming doesn’t deserve this award?”
“Yes, I think he’s no longer worthy of staying in this industry,” Su Bei replied concisely.
“Even if Xiao Ming really did such a thing, private matters shouldn’t be in opposition to artistic expression. It’s like a student making a mistake. You can’t deprive him of his exam results, right?” the host said.
Su Bei smiled. “Then is a rapist qualified to take the exam?”
[Su Bei Questions, ‘Is A Rapist Qualified To Take The Exam’?] This news quickly became popular and the center of attention.
Xiao Ming’s matter evoked more and more reactions.
More and more people stood on Su Bei’s side. Many people believed Su Bei’s words and felt that it was impossible for her to take the risk of slandering Xiao Ming.
On Xiao Ming’s side, he sent a lawyer’s letter to sue a few of the fans who caused the most trouble.
In just one night, the entertainment industry seemed to have exploded.
While Su Bei received a lot of support, she was also facing all kinds of doubts.
When they got home, Lu Heting stuffed her into the bathroom. “Take a shower and have a good sleep.”
“Mhm.” Su Bei nodded.
Looking at his back as he went to heat up the milk for her, her heart was firm and calm.
‘Even if the entire world is against me, as long as he’s around, I won’t give up easily.’
The next day, Su Bei received an invitation from the butler to go back to the Lu family’s mansion for dinner.
Su Bei wanted to pick up Da Bao and Gun Gun too, so she naturally agreed.
She and Lu Heting arrived at the Lu family’s mansion together.
Old Master Lu still had a serious expression on his face. He looked at them indifferently and said, “You’re back?”
“Yes,” Lu Heting and Su Bei replied at the same time.
“Wash your hands and come eat. You’re always fooling around outside,” Old Master Lu complained.
The butler walked forward and reminded him, “Old Master, the bird’s nest soup you told us to prepare for Young Madam is ready.”
Old Master Lu blushed. “When did I give that order?”
“Ahh, yes, you didn’t,” the butler said quickly.
Su Bei lowered her head and held back her laughter.
Lu Heting finally understood why the old man suddenly changed his opinion of Su Bei. With his abhorrence of evil, he had long disliked Xiao Ming. What Su Bei did this time struck a chord in his heart.
He held Su Bei’s fingers and said a few words to her.
Su Bei did not expect that what she did would change the old man’s opinion of her.
However, Old Master Lu was still very serious.
After the meal, Gun Gun hung on Su Bei’s thigh. Da Bao also looked like he was about to leave.
Old Master Lu coughed lightly. “Butler, don’t we have leftovers? Pack them up and let them bring them back to eat.”
The butler quickly delivered the packed food over. “Young Madam, they’re all fresh and untouched. They can be eaten after they’re heated up.”
“Thank you, Butler. Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma,” Su Bei said with a smile.
“Alright, you can leave now.” Old Master Lu seemed a little embarrassed and waved them away.
