"Jay Lee, why are you back so late? Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?" There were so many people outside, especially in such a special period like this. When she entered Jay's house, Josephine Liang asked in an impatient and angry tone. Josephine's temper was not very likable, but she's good-looking. Although she was not a big shot, she still got some fame. Later, with the support of Liang and Chao Family, Jay's forced to live up with her. But now, after all these things happened, she heard the news that Liang Company would not last long. So the reason why she didn't just get rid of Josephine was for the sake of Chao Company. Jay had just returned from the wine party. Hearing this, she, who had just drunk a lot, was suddenly in a bad mood. "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait for my news at home?" Josephine replied unpleasantly, "I've been waiting for you at home for a few days? Where's your news?" Before Jay could speak, Josep
Elizabeth Liang got up early the next day. Since Kuture was going to hold a fashion conference recently, the whole studio was busy. Even she, who worked part-time, was no exception. She had worked overtime. She didn't think it was a big deal. As a rookie in the workplace, she could learn more. However, this also meant that she didn't have much time at home. There was no housekeeper in the house of South Lake, so she needed to clean up herself. James Lu was a slight mysophobia, so she had to get up earlier than before, and finish the family's cleaning before she went to work. When she passed James's room, the door was open and there was no one in. She went downstairs again and didn't know that he had gone to work until she noticed that his car didn't park in the garage. Looking at the time, she frowned slightly. He used to go out after eight o'clock, but now it was only half-past seven... How did he leave so early today? She thought he was just busy w
Samuel Lee walked back gingerly. "What's the matter, president?" James Lu opened his mouth and found that he was a little embarrassed. He irritably took out a cigarette and lit up the cigarette for himself. He took two deep breaths and then looked back at Samuel. He frowned and looked a little confused. Samuel rarely saw James like this. After thinking for a while, he still said, "President?" "Yes." James touched his nose and coughed uneasily. Then he said, "It's... it's the friend I mentioned to you that day, he..." "What's wrong?" "Hey! How should I put it?" he said, irritably stroking his hair. "Haven't I told you that he has a female friend? She actually bought a piece of clothing for my friend, and she even..." He swallowed the words "buttoning him" when he was about to say it. "What do you think?" He was too embarrassed to ask Ben and Isaac Bai about this kind of question. Maybe he would be laughed at. Samuel might look silly sometimes, but it'
In the large office, only James was alone in front of the computer, thinking about something, his face stern and tangled. He's searching for the top-ranked restaurants on the computer. The more he looked at them, the more annoyed he became. Thinking of what Samuel Lee said just now, he stroked his unruly hair. "Do you like her or not?" "Ah!" To be honest, he was very happy about the fact that she had sent him this present, especially when he heard yesterday that it was the first thing she wanted to buy after she's paid the wages. He could still clearly remember his feelings at that time, happy, excited, and a little touched. But if there's anything more? No seemed to be the answer. He's meditating. He liked her? He immediately dismissed this thought. Elizabeth, that short and thin woman, was not the type he liked. He frowned and thought for a while. He felt that he usually treated her well and she was very obedient. He didn't hate her. Of
In the Duolan Cafe. Josephine Liang, wearing sunglasses, sat in the corner and raised her hand to check her watch from time to time. There was a melodious piano piece in the cafe, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it. Her heart was even more irritated. Perhaps because she had been waiting for a long time, her lips with a brick-red lipstick on were pursed into a line. She had already finished her coffee. She had had three cups of coffee successively, and she's not gonna have another one. It was half-past three. She had been sitting here for two hours, but the person she was waiting for had not come yet. She had already run out of patience, so she picked up the phone and dialed a phone number. After a while, the phone was connected. She asked in a hurry, "Didn't we make an appointment at 2 O'clock? Why haven't you come yet?" The person on the other end of the phone answered casually, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else
As she stood downstairs in the hotel that James Lu described, Elizabeth Liang felt both exhilaration and nervousness. She had just received his phone call and was in a daze. The phone hung up for a while before she knew it -- he'd asked her out to dinner! He asked her out to dinner! It seemed the first time in all their acquaintance that they had dined alone, and he had offered it. The little caper and surprise in her heart made her feel excited and ecstatic. After work, she wanted to go home and change her clothes, but there was not enough time, so she had to give up. For fear of upsetting James Lu, she even took a taxi for the first time. Now she was downstairs, already in the lobby, and after a few steps she backed out. After looking around and making sure that she didn't see anyone she knew, she secretly ran to the side. Facing the glass, she ruffled her hair and pulled at her T-shirt to make sure nothing was wrong. Then she took a de
This spacious and bright western restaurant had a French style. Instead of playing on the stereo, the dining music is played live by a small band. There was a steady stream of diners, but no noise at all. Elizabeth Liang rarely came to such a high-end place for dinner, so she didn't have many ideas about what to order, especially when she saw that the menu was in French, she was daunted. She was afraid that James would laugh at her again for being a hillbilly who knew nothing. In the end, she had bitten the bullet and pointed at two random things. James looked up from the menu and looked at what she ordered. He frowned and said, "I ask you to order something to eat. Why do you order two bottles of red wine?" "Er..." For a moment, Elizabeth's face turned crimson. She secretly glanced up at James. When she saw that he didn't look at her with disdain, she was a little relieved. She was trying to say something to ease her embarrassment at the moment, but James
"It's none of your business, Theodore?" Elizabeth Liang's tone was full of sarcasm. "Or, do you think you are still my...?" Theodore was devastated to hear this. His chest heaved violently and his face wore an unmistakable expression of hurt. "..." Elizabeth didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she turned around and was about to leave without washing her hands. Theodore Chao was unwilling to give up. In the past, he's always greeted by Elizabeth with a smile? How could she treat him like this? He reached out his hand to grab her arm to stop her from leaving. "Elizabeth!" Elizabeth finally stopped. She turned her head to look at his hand on her arm, her eyes impatient. Not wanting to face the man in front of her, and with a faint, aching stomach, she fretted and frowned, 'Will you let me go, please?' Theodore Chao was stunned but eventually had to withdraw his hand. Glancing at the girl in front of him, who was as cold as a stranger, he sai
Time went by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, John was already sixty years old. He didn't like complicated things and didn't like to celebrate his birthday. However, Lydia insisted on holding a birthday party for him. Considering that he liked quiet atmosphere, Lydia didn't celebrate his birthday in style. She only invited some close friends. Benjamin and Isaac naturally went there. Arvis was already five years old. He was much more lively than a few years ago, but he was not particularly noisy. Adele was pregnant again. The child was less than five months old, but Isaac was very nervous and followed her everywhere. He was so careful that James and Benjamin couldn't stand him anymore. That day, James teased him, "Say, Isaac, why are you so cautious? Adele is not a porcelain doll. If you want to please her, you don't have to be so affected." Isaac handed a piece of apple to Adele. After she finished eating, he replied, "I love my wife.
John didn't expect that she would mention this matter on her own. He fell in love with her first and said that he wanted to get engaged to her, but she proposed to get married first. Was it even? However, he wasn't a strait-laced person. Besides, wasn't it a good thing that his beloved girl couldn't wait to marry him? If they got married, he could see her as soon as he got home from work, and she would accompany him for meals. If he worked at home, she would stay with him. When he woke up in the morning, he would see her sleeping face at once and say good morning to her. At night, they could sleep together. What a wonderful thing! They got married in early August. The wedding was very grand, and there were many guests. Almost everyone who had something to do with the Lu family and the Song family attended their wedding, and some even came from afar. The three floors in the most luxurious hotel in A City was filled to capacity. John would always
"Happy birthday to you!" She sang the birthday song softly. Her voice was dulcet and soft, and it was very pleasant to the ear. The candlelight on the cake flickered as she moved, and the fruit on the cake gleamed in the candlelight. As Lydia approached John step by step, he felt that he was going crazy. She preferred to wear dresses, but all her dresses were lovely. Sometimes, she wore like a read lady. But at this time... She wore a long black lace dress that only reached her bottom. It was so flimsy that he could see her underwear... Her bra and pants were red and sexy, which only covered the most important parts of her body... At this time, John was obsessed with her, and he was hot all over. He felt that all the blood in his body was boiling, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy. "John..." Lydia came to him and looked at him shyly. "Today is your birthday." He looked at her bright and affectionate eyes and couldn't help but
John's birthday was coming soon, and Lydia was very distressed, because she hadn't decided what to buy for him. It was in the dark ages of computing. There was a computer in her house, but the network was not very developed. Therefore, she only asked a few close friends about it. They told her that she could buy him tie, cuffs, and clothes, but she denied these ideas at once. John was born in a rich family. After he grew up, he became a very excellent businessman. He had received many expensive birthday gifts, let alone something like a tie. As his fiancee, she couldn't be perfunctory, could she? So, she went to the mall, but she didn't see anything she liked. It seemed that giving him a special and novel birthday gift was not easy. She didn't know how to make handwork or paint. She had learnt piano when she was young, but she gave up later. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly felt that she was so stupid. Except for the fact that she co
With the permission of Lydia's parents, John travel with her abroad for a few days. After coming back, he hired someone to teach her at home. Lydia had a feeling of freshness at the beginning. After all, she used to attend classes at school. At this time, she could learn knowledge at home. Moreover, the teachers were very careful and very patient. However, the next day, she was not willing to study like this, so she went to find John. "Why?" John was puzzled, "Is it because they can't teach their lessons well enough? If that's the case, I'll change new teachers for you tomorrow." "No!" She kept waving her hand, "They are very good teachers and they're patient, but..." She looked at him cautiously and thought twice before speaking, "They are just too patient, and they take good care of me as if I'm a child. I feel... a little stressful." John was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, "Is this the reason?" "Yeah." Lydia nodded, "But I am not a chil
Lydia really didn't go to school anymore. Although all the misunderstandings had been clarified, she didn't want to go to school again. On the second day after she went through formalities, Nina came to her and asked for her forgiveness. At that time, John was there, but later he found an excuse and went out. Lydia looked at Nina who had suddenly become much more haggard and sighed in heart. Why did Nina have to provoke her back then? "I'm sorry." Nina said softly. "Oh." Hearing this, Nina immediately got unhappy and glared at her with hatred, "Lydia, are you very smug now?" She was apologizing to Lydia, but Lydia actually replied to her so indifferently. Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I'm smug now?" "I'm apologizing to you!" "I heard it. Didn't I answer you as well?" "You..." Nina sneered, "Is that your answer?" "What do you expect?" Lydia was puzzled, "How do you want me to answer you? Should I thank you w
Nina's voice came from the stereo around the playground. She had said a lot. There were so many people on the sports ground, but none of them spoke. They were all shocked and stunned. "As for what I said to Lydia, it was my prank. Actually, Lydia's fiance has nothing to do with me. I... just envied her for having such an excellent fiance and I was jealous. Therefore, I did that to her that day..." After she said this, the crowd, which had been quiet, suddenly burst into an uproar. "Oh my god! How could it be?" "I heard that she was very excited that day. She cried, knelt in front of Lydia and begged her. But she said it was a prank?" "She couldn't do that even if she wanted to prank on Lydia, could she? That is Lydia's fiance." "I don't think it's a prank. I was in the dormitory at that time and I saw it with my own eyes. Nina looked really sad. In my opinion, Lydia must have put pressure on Nina, so Nina has to do this." "Lydia's family
As soon as Lydia entered the school, she walked with her head down, because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances. Besides, with John holding her hand, she did not have to worry that she would fall down. After what had happened yesterday, she... had become quite well-known in school. "Lydia, look up." His voice was very soft, but she was somewhat pressurized. She gave him a resentful look, "Do you even want to force me to raise my head?" He chuckled, "Didn't you listen to my words carefully just now?" "Yeah." Lydia snorted, "But I came in here, didn't I?" She said, "You said those words indeed, and I think it makes sense, but... John, it's hard for me to do it, okay? I know I'm not wrong, but I'm very worried. You are not me, so you won't understand my mood." John sighed lightly and didn't know what to say at the moment. Although he didn't talk much in ordinary times, he did things in a decisive manner. Perhaps, he really had no way to
"John, you're here?" Nina ran into the house with great joy. Just now, she went out, but when she knew that he had come here, she rushed back, for fear that she would miss him. Fortunately, he had not left yet. Looking at John who was sitting in the living room, she was very happy, and her heart jumped very fast. John was very excellent, and she was infatuated with him. Although she had done such a thing, she didn't regret it at all. As long as she could be with him, she couldn't care about so much. That day... why on earth did he come here? Was it because Lydia couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with him? Had he found out how good she was? John raised his head and took a look at her. His eyes were very bland. When she was about to walk over, John stood up. He arranged his suit and said to her father, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer as I said. I hope to hear it tomorrow." Her father's face darkened, but he didn't dare to lose
