"Ben?" "Mm." Benjamin answered casually on the phone. James sat in a chair, looking very relaxed. Elizabeth said that she wanted to accompany Lydia to watch TV, so she didn't come up. Besides, for the sake of safety, he closed the door when he entered the study. The sound insulation effect at home was pretty good, so he was not afraid that anyone would suddenly come here and hear his secret. Ha-ha... "What are you doing?" James raised his eyebrows and put his slender legs on the desk. Well, this posture was quite good. "I'm in the company." "Oh..." James drawled, "I have something to tell you." "Mm." "Well... it was you who sent Lawrence aboard to work, right?" "Yeah." James's eyes were full of smiles, but he was not in a hurry to tease Benjamin and just said, "I've guessed it roughly." "So why do you ask me about this?" "Hey!" James was dissatisfied, "Do you have to be so indifferent? I called yo
"Rat-a-tat..." "Come in!" Lawrence didn't push open the door and enter until he heard this, and he didn't forget to close the door. "Uncle." Benjamin looked up from the documents on the table and glanced at Lawrence. Then, he continued to work. Lawrence knew Benjamin's character well. He always looked neither cold nor enthusiastic. However, Lawrence knew that he was kindhearted. Ahem! Of course, it wouldn't be long before he gave up this idea. However, this was for later... He walked to Benjamin's desk and stood in front of it. "Sit down first." Lawrence nodded and then sat down in the chair. Looking at Benjamin sign his name at the end of the document, he said, "Uncle, today, I..." Benjamin closed the folder and raised his head, "You have studied abroad for a few years, but you can't even remember how to address me?" Lawrence shrugged his shoulders, "I just think that 'uncle' sounds more pleasantly that 'Un
"I...." Lawrence was very embarrassed, "I'll tell my father about it...." This was the only way he could think of. He knew that it was a big batch of materials. If he could return it, he would be able to avoid some losses. However, the part that had been used could not be returned or used again. But even so, the materials, manpower, as well as other things had cost a lot. He had just graduated. How could he have extra savings? When he was studying abroad, he didn't have to worry about his living expenses and his family would transfer money to him on time every month. But... he used up all the money every month. He was young, and his family was rich, so he just wanted to have fun in time. How could he think about the future? In other words, he had never worried about his future. He wasn't stupid. He went abroad to study economics and got a master's degree. Even if he didn't work hard to start his own business, it wouldn't be difficult for
Hearing this, Lawrence coughed lightly. At the same time, he didn't know what to say. Benjamin glanced at him faintly and asked calmly, "Are you too embarrassed to say it?" "No." Lawrence smiled awkwardly, "Actually... it's not something very important. However, it is quite important to me." "Oh?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows and seemed to be interested. "Well...." Lawrence rubbed his nose, "Recently, I've fallen in love with a girl, and I am pursuing her." After speaking, Lawrence continued, "When I was working over there, I didn't know if it was because I was too far away from her and hadn't seen her for a long time, and I wanted to come back and see her." Although he didn't expect such a thing to happen as soon as he came back, he wouldn't regret what he had done no matter Benjamin asked him to compensate or not. He thought of how Evelyn looked like when she saw him in A University... Although Evelyn did not say much, he could feel that Evel
Lawrence was taken aback for a moment, "Uncle Benjamin?" Benjamin said, "Things in the world are unpredictable. Many people couldn't get married even if they used to be together." "What you said is true." Lawrence shrugged his shoulders, "But Uncle Benjamin." He suddenly said in a more serious tone, "If I can really have a chance to be with her, I will I definitely let her leave me." She hadn't promised him, and he could wait. He had the time and patience to wait. If she really promised him, he would certainly not give her a chance to leave him since she was so lovely. In this society, he was lucky enough to meet a girl like her, and she was like a treasure. If he did not cherish her or gave her a chance to leave him, he would be extremely silly! Looking at the earnest and determined expression on Lawrence's face, Benjamin pursed his lips tightly and felt more irritated. But how could he beat his nephew and warm him not to cast greedy eyes on the wom
"Evelyn, maybe I can't go to see you today. I should go back to work later. Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back." After typing these words, Lawrence examined the message twice very seriously. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he pressed the send button. In just a few seconds, he received a reply, "Okay, try your best to work! Fighting!" Seeing this, Lawrence couldn't help but smile. Even he himself did not know why Evelyn's message could make his gloomy mood suddenly became delighted, and he became energetic all of a sudden. As he walked towards the elevator, he replied to Evelyn, "I will. I've promised you that I would work hard. Don't worry." This kind of feeling... Well, although they hadn't become lovers, he felt that it was good to chat with her through messages like this. In other words, they were just like a couple. Ha-ha! "Beep!" He received a new message and clicked it q
"Mr. Cheng, are you looking for me?" Jeriel pushed the door open and walked into Benjamin's office. He had composed his emotions and was no longer guilty. "Mm." Benjamin nodded. Jeriel walked to Benjamin's desk. Benjamin didn't say anything, so he didn't speak, either. Benjamin leaned back in the chair. After a long while, he looked up at Jeriel, "Did you see Lawrence on your way here?" Jeriel didn't expect Benjamin to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to sense. He replied respectfully, "Yeah, I met Mr. Lawrence when I went out of the elevator." "Did you say anything else to him?" Jeriel shook his head, "No. Mr. Cheng, don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say." Benjamin looked at him again, and then replied blandly, "That's good." In fact, it was reasonable for him to be worried. After all... it was a critical point, so he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Benjamin knew that Lawrence an
In Grand Dynasty Hotel. James and Isaac arrived first. Isaac handed the glass which was full of wine to James. James glanced at it and turned away his head directly, "I told you last time that I've quit drinking!" Hearing this, Isaac smiled, "I thought you were kidding. I didn't expect you to be serious." James shrugged his shoulders, took the soda nearby and raised his head to take a sip, saying, "Have I ever made a decision casually?" It was enough to have learned a lesson. At the thought of the misunderstanding, his drunken state and Elizabeth's helplessness, he was still regretful. It was better to drink less. "Alright." Isaac didn't force him, "It's good to quit drinking. Drinking too much is bad for health." James looked at Isaac and glanced at the glass in his hand. He sighed and said, "Don't talk about me. Look at you now! You're almost like an alcoholic. You not only drink outside, but also drink at home day and night." "I
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
