Chapter 73

"Lawyer He, are you free to meet me at noon? I'd like to consult you about something."

"good."

He Yuanbai’s message was replied almost instantly.

Lin Ran lowered her eyes and looked at the three photos in her hands. Combining with what He Yuanbai had said to her before, she could almost conclude that the He brothers knew about the small fishing village.

He Yuanbai frequently extended olive branches to her, perhaps he could be used as a breakthrough point.

Lin Ran and he set a time and place. She didn't have much time for lunch break, so they met at an Italian restaurant near the company.

When she arrived at 11:30, He Yuanbai was already waiting for her.

The man wore glasses and a simple white shirt and trousers. He was handsome and elegant, but the watch on his wrist revealed his wealthy family background.

She had seen the same style in Shen Jinghan's dressing room.

He Yuanbai waved at her.

Lin Ran walked over and said lightly, "Second Young Master He."

"Just call me Brother Yuanbai." He Yuanbai smiled, "We can be considered friends who grew up together."

"Are you working in your eldest brother's company now?"

He Yuanbai looked at her uniform. The navy blue professional attire made her skin look even smoother than normal. Her small oval face was as smooth as jade. When she walked over, she attracted so many people's attention.

Lin Ran nodded: "I couldn't find a job, so I went to work as a receptionist in my brother's company."

He Yuanbai said, "I remember you were a student at the Academy of Fine Arts. Working as a receptionist at a company might be a bit of a waste of your talent. If needed, I could introduce you to a friend's art museum as a curator. Or is there a career you're interested in?"

The Shen family is a den of wolves to her.

Lin Ran's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said weakly: "Thank you, but work matters are not something I can decide. I have to listen to the arrangements of Uncle Shen and Big Brother."

He Yuanbai looked at the girl in front of him who was broken like a butterfly, and felt sorry for her. He whispered, "Ranran, leave the Shen family."

Lin Ran was stunned and looked up at him. He was the first person who asked her to leave the Shen family.

She blurted out, "Will you help me?"

He Yuanbai looked into her wet eyes and nodded, "Yes."

There was still light in her eyes, and he didn't want these beautiful eyes to fade one day.

Lin Ran was silent: "You're even willing to turn against my second brother?"

He Yuanbai rolled up his sleeves and smiled elegantly, "We'll fall out sooner or later. This incident of yours won't make a difference."

Lin Ran smiled slightly: "No wonder Shen Zhi is so desperate for you. He Ershao, from a lawyer's professional perspective, how can I leave the Shen family?"

He Yuanbai stroked his watch and said with a burning gaze, "There is only one way, get married, and find a family that is not afraid of the Shen family, or the power of your eldest and second brothers. For example, the He family.

I am single and have no bad habits. Would you consider it?"

Lin Ran looked at him in shock. Was he crazy? Was he sincere or was he just using her? Did the He family know the secret of the fishing village and use it to exploit her?

No, the He family and the Shen family are not in the same race. There is no need for him to offend the Shen brothers. The cost is too high.

Is it true?

"Don't get me wrong, this is a win-win cooperation. My family is forcing me to get married, and I don't want a business marriage, let alone marrying Shen Zhi. And you want to leave the Shen family. We can agree to get married, and if we don't get along, we can divorce later. Kill two birds with one stone."

He Yuanbai's palms were covered in sweat, and his body tensed slightly when she looked at him.

Shen Zhuoyu is a man with strong execution ability. Once he takes action, he will lose the initiative, so he can only take a gamble and bet on how eager Lin Ran is to leave the Shen family.

"Don't rush to answer. Think about it for a while."

He Yuanbai smiled slightly and asked the waiter to bring the menu: "Let's order first."

"Second Master He, what a coincidence." A forced smile came from the voice.

Lin Ran's body stiffened, and she turned her head slightly to see Fu Nian and Shen Jinghan.

The man was handsome and stern, wearing an expensive haute couture suit. As soon as he entered the restaurant, the restaurant seemed small and cramped.
