Chapter 74
"Mr. Shen, Assistant Fu." He Yuanbai was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to meet Shen Jinghan here, but thinking about it, this was near his company, it might really be a coincidence.
Shen Jinghan nodded coldly.
Fu Nian said with a smile: "Second Master He, can we share a table? It's the lunch rush hour, and Director Shen suddenly wanted to eat Italian food here, but he didn't make a reservation."
He Yuanbai glanced at Lin Ran and smiled, "Of course."
The four of them sat down.
The waiter brought the menu.
He Yuanbai gestured to Lin Ran: "Ladies first."
Lin Ran's hand holding the menu stiffened slightly, he glanced at Shen Jinghan, and silently put the menu down.
Shen Jinghan glanced at the menu and frowned. Is there nothing left to eat? Italian food? It's obvious that it's not as good as the Chinese food in the cafeteria.
"One steak for her and one lobster pasta for her."
Shen Jinghan put down the menu, handed it to He Yuanbai, and said indifferently: "It seems that the second young master He's law firm is not in this area. Are you out on a date with Lin Ran?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all three of them were shocked.
Lin Ran was silent, with no expression on her face.
He Yuanbai smiled and said, "Mr. Shen misunderstood. Shen Er and I agreed to meet here. I learned that Lin Ran worked nearby, so I asked her to come along. But Shen Er was delayed and didn't come."
He Yuanbai was shocked by this situation.
Why did he feel that Shen Jinghan had a vague desire to control Lin Ran?
Shen Jinghan actually ordered food for Lin Ran?
Hadn't he always been ignoring his stepsister?
Shen Jinghan smiled and said, "Is that so? I thought that the Second Young Master He had some feelings for my stepsister and wanted to bring up the marriage between the Shen and He families again.
But I'm afraid that Young Master He will be disappointed.
I'm already helping her find a suitable marriage partner."
Lin Ran's face turned pale and she looked up at him in disbelief.
Shen Jinghan's face was cold, his eyes were deep, and he didn't even look at her.
She clenched her fingertips and trembled all over.
He Yuanbai also sensed something was wrong and poured Lin Ran a cup of hot water. He smiled and said, "Marriage is something that depends on the wishes of the parties involved. Now that everyone is in love, does Director Shen still want to be an old-fashioned, feudal patriarch? I wonder what Aunt Lin thinks?"
The words sarcastically criticized him for interfering in other people's affairs.
Shen Jinghan smiled but said nothing.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Lin Ran suddenly stood up, picked up her bag, and left her seat.
She splashed cold water on her face and sent a message to He Yuanbai, feeling cold all over: "Sorry, I have to go back to the company first. I will carefully consider your proposal."
After sending the message, she left the restaurant through the back door and returned to the company.
He Yuanbai: "I will take the golden retriever out for a walk in the evening. You can meet me in the small garden in front of the Shen family."
Her fingers trembled as she typed, "Tonight, I'm going to a charity dinner with my second brother."
He Yuanbai: "Then tomorrow night."
Lin Ran put away her phone, lowered her eyes, and calmed her emotions. He Yuanbai had a good impression of her. If his elder brother knew about the small fishing village, he would definitely stop them from being together, and might even warn her to stay away from He Yuanbai.
She lowered her eyes and posted the photo she had just taken on her Moments.
The photo was taken in the restaurant, and only captured the marble table, the man's bony wrists, and the limited edition watch.
She believed that someone would recognize him as He Yuanbai.
She was waiting for He Siwen to come to her and talk about what happened in the small fishing village back then.
