After Elizabeth Liang entered the lobby of the Grand Dynasty Hotel, she took a deep breath and walked to the elevator. Isaac Bai was accompanying Benjamin Cheng as the latter inspected the hotel. He was bored out of his mind when he suddenly spotted Elizabeth. Isaac couldn't help but ask, "Hey, is Jimmy still here today?" Benjamin shook his head, "No, he hasn't been here in days." "That's strange." "What's wrong?" Isaac pointed at the elevator. "Do you see that girl in the white T-shirt? The one with a ponytail! She's Jimmy's wife, Elizabeth Liang." "That's her?" "If Jimmy isn't here, then why is she here?" Isaac thought for a moment. Then he took out his cellphone and dialed James Lu's number. He waited for a long time before James picked up. "Dude, come to the Grand Dynasty right now ... What? You're busy? Well, you'd better make some time! Because your wife's at the Grand Dynasty ..." ****** Elizabeth nervously stood in fro
Sir Wu grumbled, "First thing I heard when I came back was that you were driven out by August Liang's family! I'm sorry I came back late!" Elizabeth Liang shook her head and said with a smile, "It's all passed, Uncle Wu." She was eventually going to take back everything she had lost. "Well, you're an optimistic one! How dare the Liang family still has the gall to talk business with me? Shameless, dirty rats!" "... Uncle Wu." "What's on your mind?" "Did you really recognize me as soon as you saw me?" Sir Wu was a wise man. He immediately knew what Elizabeth was going to say the second she opened her mouth. "Are you going to ask me why I pretended not to know you and let you compete with Josephine Liang even though I recognized you already?" Elizabeth nodded. She was wondering why Uncle Wu already knew her surname without James's introduction. Sir Wu grinned, "You knew that James Lu was there for business, didn't you girl?" "Yes
James Lu was still in a meeting when he received Isaac Bai's phone call. He immediately abandoned the meeting and rushed to the Grand Dynasty Hotel. God damn it Elizabeth Liang, why was she at the Grand Dynasty? A thought flashed across his mind. He couldn't help but frown as he drove. Could she have... After throwing his car key to the doorman, he rushed into the lobby and saw Isaac and Benjamin Cheng waiting for him in the leisure area. He quickly ran over and asked, "Where's Elizabeth?" Isaac shrugged and threw the cigarette that he had just finished smoking into the ashtray. "One of Ben's workers said that she's on the 29th floor." Isaac saw Elizabeth taking the elevator. He didn't know what she was doing here, but he didn't want to follow her by himself. So he asked a staff member of the Grand Dynasty to see where she was going. James looked at Benjamin and asked, "Is Sir Wu in your hotel?" "Sir Wu?" Benjamin leaned against the back of the
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu! Stop making me listen to that disgusting word!" "Calm down first, okay?" Elizabeth Liang sighed slightly. "I admit that I should have told you in advance, but I did it because I felt guilty that I embarrassed you and made you lose the deal, didn't I? So ..." James Lu was incensed at this point, so he began ridiculing her without thought, "So you made use of your body?" "What ... what are you saying?" Elizabeth held back her anger. "I did go and find him because of that piece of land, but it wasn't like what you thought." "Like what? Tell me." James walked to the sofa and plopped down. He lit a cigarette in frustration and exasperation. Elizabeth followed and sat beside him. "We only chatted for a bit, and nothing else happened." "You guys chatted for thirty minutes?" James raised his eyebrows sarcastically. "If I hadn't gone there, what would have happened after you finished chatting?" "You..." Elizabeth's face turned
At the Grand Dynasty Hotel. Isaac Bai couldn't help but interrupt as he watched James Lu recklessly drink one glass after another, "Hey, hey, hey, dude, are you sure you can handle that?" Having already heard the entire story, Isaac snorted. "You should let your wife see you, maybe she'll be moved to tears and forgive you then." James ignored him and continued to drink. Benjamin Cheng held down his glass and said, "Stop drinking." Not being able to drink, James turned to light a cigarette. After taking two deep puffs, he looked at Benjamin and said, "That damn woman did it on purpose, didn't she? How am I supposed to react to that?" Benjamin swirled the wine in his glass and said, "I'm sure she meant well, but you," he glanced at James and said. "You went a bit too far." Isaac concurred, "Exactly! She's such a sweet and kind girl. Imagine how upset she is right now after you misunderstood her like that!" "Don't I know that I went too far?
"Why do you look so sad today, Elizabeth?" Evelyn Wu asked with concern after she finished answering a phone call and looked at Elizabeth Liang's gloomy face. Elizabeth smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." "Are you sure?" Evelyn carefully examined her for a while. The bags under her eyes were dark and heavy, which seemed to confirm that she had a bad night's sleep. "Yeah." "I don't believe you!" Evelyn shook her head and disagreed. "This is more than just not getting a good sleep!" "..." "Did you have a quarrel with your husband?" Elizabeth was lost for words. She forced a smile and complained, "It's really a pity that you're not a psychic, Evelyn." "Haha, I was right!" Evelyn then asked Elizabeth curiously, "Tell me, what happened?" "It's really no big deal." Elizabeth was still feeling depressed. Just thinking about his expression and attitude yesterday, she would be upset, so sh
There was only one class in the afternoon. As soon as class was over, Elizabeth Liang packed up her books and went to find Evelyn Wu's senior friend. At Kuture. It was a medium-sized private fashion design studio and had gained a solid reputation in A City in the past few years. Not only did many famous socialites seek out their designs, but many celebrities also came to have their clothes custom-made. Elizabeth talked to the receptionist when she arrived. After a while, a fashionably dressed young lady came out to meet her. "You're Elizabeth Liang, right?" The lady had long and wavy chestnut hair and looked very chic and stylish. She was not remarkably pretty, but had a charming aura to her. "Yes, and you're Evelyn's senior?" Evelyn's senior friend was not actually an A University student. They used to attend the same high school, but the senior later went abroad to study fashion design for two years. "Yes," the woman nodded and added. "
The phone call was made, but nobody picked it up until it finished ringing. James Lu furrowed his eyebrows and called again! But still, nobody answered! "Well, well, well, Elizabeth, it looks like you've got quite a temper!" James grunted and tried again. He was determined to hear her answer the call. But Elizabeth Liang, who was entirely focused on cleaning the bathroom, had no idea that her cellphone had been vibrating in her changing room locker. After the 37th unanswered call, James finally gave up and miserably hurled his cellphone onto the couch. The phone bounced off the couch and fell onto the floor. James became even more infuriated. He wanted to kick it away, out of sight and out of mind, but he suddenly stopped and bent down to pick it up. James dialed Isaac Bai's number. He roared into the phone as soon as the call connected, "What kind of bullsh*t advice did you give me last night? Worked like crap!" Not only did
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
