1770 Violating Lu Hetingâs Portrait Rights
âThisâ¦â He Shihui was indeed at a loss for words, but she quickly found an excuse. âAs 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.â
After she finished speaking, everyone could not help but nod.
It was Su Beiâs turn.
With a confident smile on her face, Su Bei said, âOh, then my thoughts are much simpler. This is what my friendâs 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 itâs a fantasy of yours, yet you came up with a figure that looks exactly like my friendâs husband.â
!!
âWhatâ¦â He Shihui was really stunned!
There was also a burst of discussion below the stage. âWhat her friendâs husband looked like when he was young? If itâs true, then thereâs really conclusive evidence!â
âI didnât expect Su Lu to have this up his sleeve!â
âI wonder how Miss He will explain this?â
He Shihuiâs expression was a little ugly. She couldnât hold it in anymore.
Wang Hui said angrily, âAre we supposed to believe that figure is your friendâs husband just because you say so? What evidence do you have? Itâs all too easy to fool people!â
Su Bei was already prepared. âThen Iâll tell you who the person in the photo is. Itâs Lu Heting. If you donât believe me, I can show you!â
âLu Heting? The head of the Lu family in S Country?â
âHeâs not the one weâre thinking of, is he?â
âIt seems so!â
âSo Su Lu is friends with Lu Heting?â
Su Bei grinned. âNo, Iâm friends with Su Bei, so she asked me to paint her husband. Is that okay? If you donât 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 Hetingâs portrait rights.â
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 didnât 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 Shihuiâs face was a little pale.
No matter how brainless Wang Hui was, she could see her daughterâs 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 couldnât be bothered to face them anymore. She asked, âMadam He, shouldnât we call the police to deal with the violation of portrait rights?â
Wang Hui was the one who had suggested calling the police, but now, she was waving her hand.
Even with He Consortiumâs wealth, if they were sued by Lu Heting, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg!
No, that wasnât 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, âLu Heting and Su Bei are husband and wife, so itâs okay for Shihui to draw Lu Heting, right?â
âDid Su Bei agree?â Su Bei really found it funny and couldnât help but ask.
Old Master He was deeply embarrassed and said, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?! Shut up!â
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 Luâs painting was very likely to be fancied by Master Carlo, so she went to take photos of Su Luâs 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 didnât 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, âSince the matter has been clarified, my apprentice is naturally Su Lu. As for the other painterâ¦â
He didnât say anything else and saved Old Master He some face, but he couldnât help but shake his head.
Old Master He said, âIâm sorry. I didnât 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!â
As soon as he left, Wang Hui, He Shihui, and Li Yishou immediately followed him while stumbling.
Everyone couldnât help but shake their heads. Then, they congratulated Su Lu for becoming Master Carloâs disciple.
Qian Guohua rushed forward. âSu Lu! You scared me to death! I really thought I had harmed you! I wasnât paying attention for a moment and gave Li Yishou a chance to see your painting!â
âItâs okay.â Su Bei shook her head. âJust be careful in the future.â
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.
âHow could you do such a thing?!â Old Master He was too angry!
He Shihuiâs face turned pale. She never expected that she would fail under such circumstances.
âIâm sorry, Grandpa. I was muddle-headed for a moment because I wanted to become Master Carloâs 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 wouldnât have it again,â He Shihui said while crying.
Seeing that she really loved painting, Old Master He couldnât blame her anymore. He only said, âNo matter what it is you like, you canât use illegal methods to get it. Thatâs unfair to others. Even if you manage to get your hands on something that doesnât belong to you, it wonât be yours!â
âI understand your teachings! Iâll remember them!â
She was already in her 30s. Seeing that she knew her mistake, Old Master He stopped talking. âThink about how to deal with this matter.â
Wang Hui interrupted and said, âCanât we just get Su Bei to step forward and say that she gave us the authorization?â
âHavenât you embarrassed yourself enough?â Old Master He said angrily, âYouâve led your daughter astray, and you still want to lead Su Bei astray?â
...
Wang Hui was so scared that she didnât dare to say anything else.
Seeing this opportunity, Li Yishou hurriedly said, âOld Master, itâs all my fault. I gave Miss He this idea and asked her to do as I said, causing her to make a mistake. Itâs my fault! Please punish me!â
