Chapter 16 Charity Auction
Elena suddenly had the urge to cry. After so many years of suffering, there was suddenly someone who was good to her. This made her not how to face this kind of warmth.
Just like how she suddenly became a little princess, she was very nervous.
“Don’t cry, you need to remember your identity. In the future, no matter where you are, don’t let others bully you. With me here, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”
Hearing Ryan say this, Elena suddenly laughed. She was in a much better mood.
“I am not as miserable as you say.” The Lewis family did not bully her every day. They would only be cruel to her when it came to benefits.
“You should eat quickly. The makeup artist is ready.”
“A makeup artist?” Elena was stunned. She needed makeup?
“Come with me to a charity auction later.” Ryan’s tone was calm, as if this kind of occasion was already common.
Elena knew about charity auction. She had attended it once when she was young. In her impression, other than the purpose of public welfare, people would also make friends with people in the circle. If people met their superiors, they would have to flatter them, although they appeared to be very harmonious on the surface.
She did not like this kind of scene. Everyone was very hypocritical.
Ryan saw that she was a little unhappy, so he asked, “You don’t like it?”
“No.” Elena shook her head. “It has been a long time since I have attended an official occasion. I am afraid I will embarrass you.”
Since the day she left the Lewis family, she was no longer a child of a wealthy family. Her life with the aristocrats had been completely out of touch. She had become an ordinary person.
Now, she no longer had the noble aura she had in the past. If she stood together with Ryan, she would appear shabby.
She was really afraid that when the time came, someone would laugh at her and she would lose face for Ryan.
Ryan was surprised. He originally thought that she would be very happy to be able to attend such an occasion. He didn’t expect that the first thing she thought of was that she didn’t want to lose face of him.
“Let’s go together.” He looked at her with a firm gaze, giving her a scene of encouragement.
He was not worried about this matter, so Elena had nothing to worry about. She met his gaze and nodded, “Okay, let’s go together.”
After the meal, Xavier brought the makeup artist in.
She looked at the luxurious jewelry in front of her and could not move her eyes away. These brand names that she used to be very familiar with were now unfamiliar to her. She did not think that she would have the chance to wear these accessories again.
Ryan did not need so many designs. He only needed to change into a new set of cloths. After all, Ryan was very handsome and the accessories were very unnecessary on his face.
When Elena came out from the inside, although the cloths on her body were beautiful, it was too exaggerated.
She always felt that it was a little awkward to wear these things on her body. She looked at Ryan.
“Ryan, can I dress a little more casually? After all, this is a charity auction. If I dress so grandly, it will cause a lot of discussion.”
Ryan smiled with a profound meaning. “Alright.” The next second, he looked at the makeup artist.
The makeup artist was shocked. She had a premonition that she was going to lose her job. “Second Young Master, I will immediately change the young madam’s attire. The young madam has a good figure. She will be suitable for anything.”
Half an hour later, Elena walked out again, as if she had changed into a different person.
She was wearing a pure white dress, like a celestial maiden who had fallen into the mortal world without a speck of dust. She did not have any decorations, only a pearl necklace around her neck. Her hair was also coiled into a bun.
She looked like a completely different person from before. She looked like a hibiscus.
“Not bad.”
Ryan nodded. Only then did the makeup artist heave a sigh of relief. “Second Young Master, I’ll be leaving first.”
Xavier sent the makeup artist away. He returned to the living room. There wasn’t much time left. The car was already waiting at the door. He said, “Young Master, let’s go.”
Elena lowered her head and her face was slightly red. She was little embarrassed. But she was very happy to receive Ryan’s praise.
At the banquet scene, Ryan pulled Elena’s hand and walked in. Elena was a little nervous and her palms were sweating.
“Don’t be afraid.” Ryan held her hand tightly.
Elena took a deep breath and relaxed. He was by her side. No matter how nervous she was, she could quickly calm down. His body seemed to carry some kind of magic.
Almost everyone in the hall had arrived, and they greeted each other in groups of three or five.
When Ryan and Elena walked into the hall, everyone looked over.
These two people had caused quite a commotion recently. This trash had married an unfavored daughter. They could be considered to be of equal social status and were very suitable for each other. Furthermore, they had gained some prestige at the entrance of the Lewis family.
No one came over to greet them, and Ryan did not care about these things. He pulled Elena and walked forward.
A few people who were sitting in the dark heard the hall quieted down. They looked over and felt different.
Jackson smiled and drank the red wine in his glass. “Look, they are here.”
“I know.” Isaac picked up the glass and took a sip. He put it down. “Other than Ryan, who else can make you so excited?”
The rest of then laughed.
Jackson stood up and looked outside. “Ryan is here. Let’s go out.”
“Master Hall, I just arrived. You are leaving. Stay with me for a while together!” The woman next to him held Jackson’s arm.
“That’s right. That cripple from the Monor family is not worth looking at.” Another woman spoke as well.
They were prostitutes. The best way out for them was to get close to a rich second generation. Today, they had the opportunity to serve a few rich young masters. How could they let go of such a good opportunity?
