As soon as he returned to the old house, James was called to the study, and Xue Nanyue asked Sister Liu to clean up the room.
According to Shen Dechang's order, no one was allowed to leave today without his permission. She was arranged to live in William's small courtyard. Since she married into the Forrest family, she had only been to this place once. She barely remembered that it was located to the east of the main building, near a small bamboo forest. It was quaint and elegant.
Among the brothers and sisters of the Forrest family, only William lived in a small courtyard by himself. Because his biological mother passed away early, Shen Dechang felt sorry for his eldest son and built a small courtyard for him. He also assigned him enough nannies, servants and tutors to serve him full-time, just like a young master of a noble family in ancient times.
The gate to the courtyard is a round moon-shaped gate with a few bamboos planted beside it, creating a sense
James' eyes were cold ."reason."Serena opened her mouth but was interrupted by him again."No big talk, no using William as an excuse."Accurately snipe away the reasons she had prepared.Serena could only spit, "She repeatedly targeted me and hurt me. I hate her and I just want to see her suffer! Is that okay?"James nodded. "The truth is better. Why pretend to be virtuous?"Serena's heart moved, and she pursed her lips and said , "James, if I tell the truth, you should tell the truth too, okay?""What truth do you want me to tell you?""You don't love Chen Xiaoyu." She hesitated again, "Or rather, you don't love her that much. Comparatively speaking, destroying the Chen family is more important, so you won't reconcile."James leaned back on the rosewood desk at the back, assuming a posture of casual listening."anything else?""You should have realized something was wrong with the Chen family a long t
Serena jumped up.She was so engrossed in love that she actually did this with James in broad daylight. This courtyard was a typical quadrangle. Once she entered the gate, the east wing was within reach. She ran out of time.She picked up her underwear, but before she could put it on, there was a knock on the door."James!"Xue Nanyan called out, she simply knocked twice and turned the doorknob, and Serena froze in fear.The doorknob didn't turn."James?""Mom, what's going on?""Why are you locking the door? There's no one else at home. Open it quickly. I have something to ask you."Serena winked at James, asking what to do. He glanced around and paused for two seconds at the rosewood desk. Serena immediately understood and without waiting for his instructions, she wrapped her skirt tightly and ran over, nimbly crawling under the desk.James was left alone there. After a moment, he walked to the door, shaking his he
Xue Nanyue slammed the table so hard that her glasses were shaken."no!"James smiled coldly , tapping the table as he walked around to the back, where there was a Ming Dynasty-style official hat chair. He put his hand on the back of the chair.Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xue Nanyan panicked and followed him. She stood in front of the table with her eyes wide open, "James, did you hear me? No!"James sat down in the chair.The chair was facing the table, and James bent his legs, taking up just half of the already narrow space. Serena immediately felt uneasy . She pulled in her stomach and stuck out her chest, trying to stick to the wall on one side of the table. But James' legs seemed to have eyes, and when she moved back, he moved forward.With his legs slightly apart and his leather shoes shining , he sat on the official hat chair, which symbolized solemnity and elegance, and looked at his mother provocatively."Can't you fi
Xue Nanyue thought this suggestion was very good and agreed immediately.James said in a friendly manner, "Sister Liu, please send the lady back first and come back when you have time. I'm not in a hurry here."Sister Liu responded and helped Xue Nanyue out of the door, not daring to show any abnormality.The noise outside gradually calmed down, but Serena didn't stand up. She only looked up when James came quickly."I want to see your injuries."As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.James rarely refrained from mocking her. He bent his knees, knelt on one leg and leaned forward, allowing Serena to easily lift the short hair on her forehead and check the cut underneath.It wasn't deep or long, but it was very red, and Serena's fingertips carefully ran over it , not daring to touch it.She said hoarsely, "It's not like you don't know how to say things that the elders like to hear. Next time, just say it as soon as you enter th
You can't say no to men.Many senior masters have said this to Serena, especially Shen Qingxiang, who complained to her that if it was really not possible, she would not tell her. This is how men are... She pinched her fingertips and gestured."so small!"Serena agreed that James was big in everything else but his heart was smaller than a needle tip.He asked her once."Who can do it, me or William?"He asked questions at the peak of madness, very maliciously and torturously, and Serena was driven to tears but couldn't explain anything.She really had no idea whether it was OK or not, and had no way to compare. She just felt that if someone like James wasn't good enough, then all the men in the world must be monsters.Before she lost consciousness, she regretted it. She still couldn't be too presumptuous in front of James, at least she couldn't say no, it was really life-threatening.Physical exhaustion will allow the mind
Serena thought about this reason. After she confirmed her relationship with James, she told him all the secrets of her family. Later, Xue Nanyan came to her house, and James knew as much as she did about the inside story of the Xie family.He once said that the Xie family's affairs would be his from now on.But that was all in the past. Later, many things happened and he didn't even have time to hate her for betraying him. How could he take her previous bold words seriously?"I don't think so..." She lowered her eyes, "I just don't quite understand. If the Chen family is a trap, wouldn't it be better not to marry them? Why bother to bring them down? If you're not careful, you'll be in a lot of trouble. You, if you don't want to answer, forget it."Serena genuinely cares about him, James can see it clearly, but this is exactly what is most annoying about her. She is heartless when she betrays him, but after being so heartless , she gives him care with a
On the wedding night, William took her back to the old house. Although Shen Dechang refused to acknowledge her, he did not kick them out.William said his father should have accepted it, but he just couldn't get over it because of his face.felt guilty coming to the fake groom's real home .William laughed."To test my father's attitude, Serena, please do me a favor."William is always very polite. Even if it is a small favor, he will say "thank you" or "please" or "help me". He is very polite. In this respect, he is different from Lin Boting and James.Serena wondered if he was like this when he was the CEO of Jincheng. Leading a group company with so many subordinates, he would be bullied if he was too polite, even for the CEO.But the William she met was just like that, a mature man in his thirties, but without the sophistication of other grown men , instead he was as pure and noble as a cypress tree.Serena had no reason to
The news was so sudden that even Xue Nanyan couldn't hide her surprise. The third brother's wife glanced at the third brother and rarely said anything. The fourth brother's wife puffed out her chest happily, but the fourth brother Shen Yanqing looked modest and nodded, "I will work hard, Dad."He looked at James again, "Although I am the elder brother, I am still a newcomer to the current Jincheng Group. James, please give me more guidance in the future."Shen Dechang nodded with satisfaction."That's right, brothers should work together."James put down his water cup slowly. His slowness revealed a not-so-good meaning, and the relaxed atmosphere gradually became tense.Xue Nanyan was about to open her mouth to retort when she heard James say, "Fourth brother is too modest. When I was still the manager of the project development department, you were already the special assistant to the eldest brother. I should learn from you."The tone is g
