Sharon sent him her location, then got up from the bed, just in time for Mama Yu to call her up and say, "I'm ready for the meal."
"I'm not eating at home. I have to go out." Sharon tied up her messy hair, went to the door to change shoes, and hurried out.
She didn't want Ryan to come here, so she went to the intersection to wait.
Ryan came very soon.
It didn't take Sharon long to wait for him. That Ryan in today was not the same as usual.
Since Sharon got to know him, he had been basically in casual clothes or white coats. It was the first time for her to see him in a suit like this.
Ryan came down to open the car door for her.
Instead of coming up immediately, Sharon asked, "is it an important occasion?"
He looked very formal.
"Not at all." Because he didn't care whether it was essential or not, so
Sharon bent and got on the car, but neither of them mentioned the topic before.
Ryan was driving the car, Sharon didn't say a word.
The atmosphere in the car was a little embarrassed.
"You don't have to be nervous. Just follow me then." Ryan deliberately sought topics.
If the atmosphere were too quiet, it would be awkward.
Especially after he showed his love for Sharon, Sharon promised him, but it just because he cared for her. She didn’t love him.
"Well."
He turned to look at her. She was wearing a ponytail. Her cheeks were only as big as the palm of her hand. Her nose and pink lips were very delicate. She grew up, and she was no longer the little girl.
"Is Sharon thought me too old?" Ryan smiled.
Sharon said with a low smile, "you are not old, just in your twenties."
He was not thirty yet.
He reached over to touch her hair. "It's true that girls are considerate."
Sharon takes off his hand. "Why do I feel that you are flirting me?"
“Oh? Do I?" Ryan smiled.
Sharon pretended to be angry and ignored him.
When they talked, the car had been parked in front of a building, with a huge display screen, showing the development history of Dingfeng jewelry. There were rows of luxury cars parked at the door. Sharon was inexplicably nervous.
Ryan opened the door and held out his hand for her.
Sharon looked at him for two seconds, Ryan stretched out forward. "You have to go in with me. Today you are my companion."
Sharon held out her hand.
The red carpet extended into the hall, with two men in black suits standing on both sides of the gate with an elder receiver standing in the middle.
Seeing Ryan coming, he stepped forward and said, "My lord."
Sharon looked at Ryan, knowing that his identity was not ordinary, but she never realized that he should be one of the Dingfeng group.
As to Zong's, which was a rising star, there were many talents. In the generation of Josh's, it had become the leading enterprise in B city.
Dingfeng, a brand with a hundred years history, had lost the power to compete with it.
Wanyue's industries involve many fields. It worked with HSBC to invest many excellent banks, enjoyed a high reputation in the world.
Ryan nodded slightly in response.
"Let's go." Ryan turned to look at Sharon, "is it not suitable?"
Sharon nodded frankly.
"I'm not adapt to it, too." Ryan smiled.
He was not interested in business.
His brother was in charge of all the businesses in his family.
"Why are you in A country? Do you want to treat your injuries in love? "She asked. According to Ryan's background, he shouldn't be a psychologist in such a small clinic in that place, right?
Ryan was stunned, how could she suddenly ask this question? "why do you think I'm here to cure my injury in love?" he asked jokingly.
"Isn't Linlin your girlfriend?" She remembered the name she heard from his mother at the villa.
From her voice, Ryan seemed to care about Lin Lin.
Linlin must be a girl's name.
It sounded lovely.
Hearing the name, the smile on his face sank slowly. "Her name is Ruilin He. She's my sister. She left when she was a child and hasn't been found yet."
Sharon opened her mouth. She thought that the girl named "Lin Lin" was his former girlfriend. And she didn't expect to expose her son's car deliberately.
"I'm sorry -"
"No. You don’t need to apologize." Ryan smiled again.
The magnificent hall was full of wine. The men here were dressed in suits. The women were wearing the most beautiful make-up and the best dress to support the men around them.
But Sharon looked too sky, which made her seem to be not fit in here.
"Ryan." Zhenyu Xia had chosen a female partner to accompany him to the dinner party today. She was the lady of a building materials company.
But Ryan refused.
Instead of the lady she picked for him, he should take this shy girl, which surprised her.
"Mom, her name is Sharon," Ryan answered.
This party was a grand one. Even if Zhenyu Xia was dissatisfied with bringing this girl, she didn't show it in public. He had a proper smile on his face, "Sharon, go there and meet our friends."
Ryan was not in China all year round. Everyone had almost forgotten that he’d had a younger lord; they only remembered the eldest brother Ruixing.
In the center of the hall, the crystal chandelier extending from the second floor was shining brightly.
There was a group of people standing in the middle. Perhaps the most remarkable one was surrounded by people. Even though they were far away, Sharon could recognize that man.
Her heart was inexplicably tight.
Ryan patted her hand. "Don’t be afraid. I am here."
"You know he is here?" Sharon looked at him.
"I just want him to know that you are not helpless." After saying this, Ryan pulled her to walk toward that man.
"After that, all the shopping malls belong to your young man."
Tang Zheng, the last president of HSBC, retired and rarely attended the event. He laughed when he spoke, "the youngest and most promising person in this generation is Jing Hao."
"Mr. Tang flattered me." Josh kept one hand in pocket, Zhuwei holding his arm, long fingers of his right hand holding the red wine cup shining in the light.
"It's said that Wanyue has been established industry in A country--" it' was Ruixing. He was surprised to see his younger brother walking with a girl.
"Ruize, who is she?" Ruixing asked.
Ryan came over with Sharon. "My girlfriend."
When he spoke, he took a look at Josh.
It seemed that he was threatening.
Since Josh didn't want to admit Sharon as his wife, let him give her to Ryan.
Sharon didn't expect that Ryan would say such a word. He was still in public.
She instinctively wanted to take out the handheld by him.
Ryan got her intention and held it tighter to prevent her from breaking away.
He smiled and said, "what are you afraid of?"
Sharon felt guilty inexplicably. She dared not even raise her head.
She didn't know what was her guilty.
Ruixing said with a smile, "this is my brother who has not been in China for many years. Now I come back. Please take care of him."
"Miss Lin -"Zhuwei called her.
Josh slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at Sharon's face, didn't stop for a second, and then he was the appearance of indifference.
Sharon's sober mind turned calm for Josh's disregard.
Her nervousness amused her.
