Serena didn't expect that she could really push him into the water. This lotus pond was much deeper than the pond used for breeding lotus because it was by the lake. All she could see were tall branches and layers of lotus leaves. James' figure was lost in it, and there was no movement before ripples even appeared.
Serena immediately panicked .
She dropped the basket and leaned over the side of the boat, calling out, "James!"
No one answered.
She called out again, but still no one answered, and the ripples were about to disappear .
James was an extremely good swimmer. When the two of them went to the beach, he was a top-notch surfer. The lake was not very deep and was full of plants, so the possibility of sinking immediately if he fell in was very small. How could he disappear in an instant?
The more Serena thought about it, the more suspicious she became. James always liked to play tricks on her, and this time it was probably just a trick.
It was yesterday’s news that Meng Jinyun returned to Beijing.Serena stared at the screen blankly until the news ended and commercials began.She barely managed to catch her breath.the last time she saw Meng Jinyun three years ago was still vivid in Serena's mind. Her hands trembled a little. She clenched her fists and then unclenched them.There was no doubt that the news of the failed engagement must have reached her ears. No, she should have been paying attention to it and might have gotten the news earlier than anyone else.After three years, perhaps she had thought of a solution or felt that times had changed. In any case, she came back in a high-profile manner, and she must have wanted to take back what belonged to her.Does James know? What will be his reaction after knowing?Whatever the reaction, at least he must be happy.Serena was flustered.She didn't know how much he liked Chen Xiaoyu before, but she knew ve
peeled lotus seeds for James . She peeled them patiently and carefully, with some crumbs on her fingers. A small white and round lotus seed was peeled and she placed it on the small plate in front of him.James glanced at me, "Feed me."Serena glanced at Lu Huainan who was pretending to be dead beside her, and blushed as she picked up a pill and put it into James' mouth.James just stared at her, opened his mouth, held it, chewed it, and smiled."Why are you so well behaved all of a sudden? I'm not used to it."Her fingertips lingered for two seconds as she peeled the lotus seeds."Then I won't feed you."Serena placed a plate of peeled lotus seeds in front of James, "Eat them yourself!"Lu Huainan pursed his lips to hold back his laughter , but he couldn't help it."Look, look, your mouth is the source of all trouble, Brother Ye, you have nothing to eat."They played in the resort for most of the day and returned to
James' fingers tightened, squeezing Serena's arm until it hurt. After a long while, he said, "Okay, I'll wait."Serena breathed a sigh of relief.James watched her reaction clearly, and just as he expected, Serena would reveal the truth as long as he used some tricks to coax her.Like a crappy third-rate actor.It looked like the result he wanted was right before his eyes.But how could such a clumsy actress act out betrayal so realistically? Was it because of true feelings? Or was she just acting even her clumsiness?Could it be that she was first-rate and just pretended to be third-rate to deceive him?James looked at her for a while, and the hostility that was about to burst out gradually dissipated. He wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and smiled purely without any deep meaning."Don't be nervous, go to work first."It means going to work literally.Serena packed up and got into the back seat of the Maybach,
Serena only gave Sun Heng a brief explanation before returning by car.The hotel was not far from the company, only a 20-minute drive away, but Serena felt like every second was a year .Where should I start?Liao Hongjuan's life was hanging by a thread, and William offered to help her. In fact, at the beginning, he did not make any requests. Until one day when Liao Hongjuan's vital signs returned to normal, he asked her out and told her that he would not live long and hoped that she could do him a small favor.Serena remembered how William looked that day. He was very desperate, as if he had suffered a fatal blow.It is true that when a life that is so prosperous suddenly comes to an end, anyone would be despairing.She didn't agree at first, but William didn't force her. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is asking for repayment, it's too much, I know, but... I have no one to ask for help."Serena sat by her mother's bedsid
Serena didn't walk far. She got off the elevator and came to the hotel lobby. The sun was scorching outside, making her dizzy . Sadness, despair and anticipation mixed together, and she suddenly couldn't move a step.What is coming has finally come, faster than expected.Meng Jinyun, the only daughter of the current chairman of the Meng Group, once lived in the west wing of William's courtyard for a year. She is James' undisputed childhood sweetheart, William's true sweetheart, and only girlfriend.That year, when William approached her for collaboration, he had just broken up with Meng Jinyun for the third time, and he was the one who was dumped three times.This shows how infatuated he is.Serena once suspected that one of the reasons why William got married regardless of the consequences was that the emotional wound was difficult to heal.And for James, this childhood sweetheart is equally important.The first time I met Meng Jinyu
Serena was speechless for a moment. The other party probably noticed it and suppressed her anger."Where are you? Speak!""James, if you mean to say that nothing happened between you and Meng Jinyun and she just happened to pass by, then I understand. If you want to ask me why I came back..." Serena paused, "It was almost time for the meeting, and I couldn't get through to your phone so I had to come back to find you. That's all. I didn't mean to disturb you."There was heavy breathing on the other end of the receiver."Is that what you're talking about?"Serena's explanation became increasingly rambling. "I, I saw Ser Investments... It's a pretty cozy name, but it may not be good enough to attract money."A meaningless sneer sounded from the other side."You didn't take the bus back to the company. You couldn't have gone far in such a short time. You must be nearby. I'll ask you one last time, where are you?"James stood in the
James was put into the police car without sirens on, with his hands in his pockets like an arrogant police chief.He never looked at Serena once.Serena stood on the steps and watched the car go away. Not long after, someone called out to her, "Serena!"Serena turned around to see who was coming and almost cried."Huainan, Jay has been arrested!"Lu Huainan hurriedly comforted her, "I know, don't worry, just come back with me first."Serena was sent back to the hotel. Meng Jinyun had already left and the suite was empty."Serena, calm down and listen to me first." Lu Huainan was rarely serious. "Brother Ye has Sun Heng and the legal team . He is prepared."Serena sat on the sofa, clenched her fists on her knees, and asked hoarsely, "Is this the Chen family's counterattack?""Well, this kind of counterattack is usually the sooner the better. If it's too late, Chen Shi will be finished, and they will be finished. That's why
"Not really acquaintance...we just met briefly that day."Serena quickly told him what happened that night."Oh my god, this is a honey trap!" Shen Qingxiang said angrily, "This is absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything like this before. After failing, they can still find someone to stage a scam and scam people from a distance!""Qingxiang, this is probably not a trap, it's a honey trap specifically targeting my fifth brother."Shen Qingxiang hummed , "A game that is sure to win."Qingqing's accusation is actually far-fetched.Her most crucial evidence was a video. Shen Qingxiang said that in the video, half of the man's face was revealed for a few seconds and he looked very much like James. Most of the time, he had his back to the camera when he committed the assault. His height, hairstyle and even figure were very similar to James .But even so, this piece of evidence does not stand up to scrutiny, and even a trainee lawyer ca
