The light suddenly turned into darkness, and everyone was temporarily blinded.

Immediately, screams were heard.

Serena didn't even have time to ask what was wrong before her mouth and nose were covered and she was forcibly pulled up from her seat.

But in a moment, she fell into a strong and hot embrace.

There was a faint scent of fir on his body, and a faint scent of ambergris on his hands.

The panic instantly turned into complexity, followed by the man's breath in his ear.

"Good job, Serena."

He said through gritted teeth, "You deserve to be beaten!"

Serena's mouth and nose were covered, so she could only whimper. Amid the screams in the banquet hall and Mr. Huo's calm voice, she heard Lin Boting's anxious call.

"Serena!"

James dragged her to the side. It was dark and he didn't bump into anything. The banquet hall was on the first floor and had several balconies covered by heavy curtains. James opened the curtains w

    Serena looked up and saw James standing at the foot of the wall. The night wind ruffled his short hair and the moonlight made his eyes sparkle.Elop, what a tempting word.Reckless, rebellious, throwing away everything and starting over.She is no longer the elder sister-in-law, and he is no longer the younger brother-in-law.She had never betrayed him, and he didn't hate her yet.Unbelievably beautiful.Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too bright, Serena's face looked pale. She stared at him blankly without saying a word.James felt like a needle piercing his heart, she refused, she backed off.Her lips trembled, and she looked around and said, "You, your phone is ringing."James' cell phone was vibrating, buzzing against his trouser pocket over and over again.He pulled out his phone in disappointment and took a look at it. He didn't answer the call, but didn't hang up either."Button up and go find S

    James' breathing became heavier, and his already sharp eagle eyes were chilling. Serena knew she had said the wrong thing, but it didn't matter. He didn't care, and she shouldn't care either.James let go of his hand and sneered, "What a high-sounding excuse. You just want to take the opportunity to hook up with Lin Boting, your late husband's friend. You are really greedy for money."Serena slumped down, the faith that had kept her running seemed to disappear in an instant. She moved to the side, not looking at him or paying attention to him, and didn't want to say another word.James became more and more annoyed. He wanted to unbutton his collar, but the button was infected by Serena and was stubborn and could not be unbuttoned.He was so angry that he pulled it hard and the button broke off.Serena flinched at the broken button and became even more silent.James glanced over at her. She wanted to lie on the car door with her whole body,

    Serena was neither annoyed nor not annoyed. She was so frustrated that she could only hum."You're too humble."Shen Mu was suddenly no longer angry. He carried the person across the courtyard, stepped onto the stone bridge, and suddenly changed the subject."How's it here?"Serena now had time to take a closer look.There is a landscape design in the courtyard, and it is also decorated with lights at night. There are white walls, bamboos, stone bridges and winding water, but the style is not traditional and has a stronger sense of design. Looking out, the surrounding high-rise buildings are quite far away and do not block the view, giving a sense of being hidden in the city."It's very special."Her attention was attracted by the scenery, and the hand on James' shoulder slowly turned into an embrace around his neck, becoming more intimate. James noticed but did not remind her."It looks good." She nodded affirmatively, "Do you

    Serena couldn't answer, so James asked and answered his own questions.“How beautiful.”It completely crushed her sense of shame....leaving the one-year-old birthday party, Lin Boting did not return to the hotel. He called a taxi and randomly asked for a street, which was quite far away, so he had enough time to relax on the way.When passing through the city, we passed by Bar Street, which was built by the water and was very lively. The neon lights were full of vitality. Lin Boting was infected by the vitality and got off the car.There is a bar not far away with a nice name, Spring River Water is Warm.Lin Boting plunged in without thinking.He ordered a special cocktail and sat in the corner of the bar. It was a quiet bar so not too noisy. The singer played guitar and sang some blues songs.It was very much like a shop he had visited in London, where he would occasionally go for a drink when his longing became uncontr

    Lin Boting wanted to refuse, but the dizziness was hard to ignore, so he had to tell the name of the hotel.Shen Qingxiang called a taxi and helped him get in. Lin Boting was a gentleman in his bones. Even though he was drunk, he still kept a proper distance. She originally wanted him to put his arm around her shoulders, but he was only willing to use her hand to keep his balance.After getting in the car, he leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, unbuttoned his collar, revealing his refreshing Adam's apple.Lin Boting is tall and thin, with fair skin, the kind that comes from not seeing much sunlight all year round. He is not young, and if you look closely you can see wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his temperament is so outstanding. He is gentle and cold, completely concealing the vicissitudes of life.Before meeting him, Shen Qingxiang's taste was completely opposite. To her, a man's physical failure to meet standards was no differe

    Thinking back now, James can still recall William's expression when he spoke.He was smiling, but there was a chill in his smile. He had never looked at him that way before.William stood up with difficulty using crutches. The old servant wanted to help him, but he pushed him away."James, you are not a god. The world will not revolve around you forever. You should get used to it sooner."James was not used to it. He didn't understand why all people and things changed in the blink of an eye. A huge question mark blocked his life and he couldn't get over it no matter what.He grabbed William by the collar angrily."William! Do you think I won't beat you just because you're a patient and a big brother?"William still smiled, "I know you dare. There are few things in this world that you dare not do. James, I don't think you care about Serena as much as you think. You have been rebellious since childhood. Serena is a member of the Xie fam

Only after everything was ready did she drive back.The station on the car radio was also talking about James.An expert was invited to analyze the matter, and his focus was broader than Xiao He's. He believed that the shares were not simply a betrothal gift, but were actually intended to win over the Meng family.

    Lin Boting followed her into the elevator without asking any more questions, but his inner doubts grew again. A honeymoon villa must be of top priority in the hearts of a loving couple. They would not give it away to anyone even if it was vacant, unless they were not in love.The conference room was on the third floor. Dean Wen didn't exchange any more pleasantries. He pushed Serena in directly and said, "How about you guys? Do you want to come and listen together?"Shen Qingxiang didn't want to do that. It was a rare opportunity to be alone with Lin Boting, and she didn't want to miss it, so she looked at Serena.Seeing her sad face, Serena said, "The report is quite boring, how about you...""I want to listen." Lin Boting said, "Junior sister, are you welcome?"Wenxiu smiled and said , "Of course, senior, you are welcome to come and give us guidance."Shen Qingxiang became even more distressed, but Serena was still very considerate.

    Mrs. Meng was frightened to tears by the slap."Meng, this time it's clearly the Forrest family's fault, why did you hit the child?"Meng Gang's expression changed, and he instantly became compassionate. He even reached out and helped his daughter up."This slap is a lesson for you. Don't be impatient when doing things. You have a good idea. You took advantage of James getting into trouble and hid behind the Chen family to instigate trouble. The woman who slandered James is yours, right?"Meng Jinyun nodded."Your technique is good, but not neat enough. I'll help you deal with that woman."Meng Jinyun was stunned. After a moment, he said happily, "Dad, you don't blame me for being reckless anymore?"Meng Gang pointed at her, "You are still reckless and not careful enough, but you are still okay if you know how to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Since you have chosen James, you must act quickly, ruthlessly and accurately, leaving n

    The following week, James disappeared. To be more precise, the parachuted-in president of the group returned to the group. There were various versions of descriptions of his strong return in Xiao He’s gossip group.——I heard from my friend who works at Jincheng that Vice President Shen was in a meeting, and Mr. Forrest walked in without knocking or notifying in advance. All the executives were stunned. One executive was trying to suck up to Vice President Shen, and when he saw Mr. Forrest, he was so scared that he fell off his chair. It was so funny.——No, that’s not the case. I heard that it was Mr. Forrest who threw the report in Vice President Shen’s face and scolded him in front of all the senior executives. Vice President Shen didn’t even dare to breathe.When Serena saw it, the topic had already changed in the group. She looked through the chat history and discovered that in the eyes of the onlookers, James' return to Jin Cheng was no different from Zh

    James' eyebrows moved slightly, and he led her out of the leisure area and walked towards the flower hall."You think so clearly, so you don't blame me for taking back my shares?"Meng Jinyun sighed, "It's still strange. Not for myself or the Meng family, but for you, I feel that I shouldn't go back on my words. I said it bluntly, but my heart was good, James.""You've always been kind."James showed a look of loss. "Three years ago, in front of my eldest brother's ward, you said the same thing. You said that you were just visiting with good intentions and advised him to focus on his treatment, but he asked you to accompany him to his last journey. You refused, and he vomited blood out of anger."When talking about the past, Meng Jinyun was also moved."I regretted it afterwards. I should have just agreed to it and let William live comfortably in his last days. It was all a way to repay him. Why did I have to stick to my original intention?

    Meng Jinyun didn't touch the pork trotter , but James ate a few bites leisurely and praised the dish for its good quality .The atmosphere at the table was depressing, but the third brother's wife, following Xue Nanyue's instructions, began to liven up the atmosphere."Aunt Yan, I heard from Sister Liu that the family banquet is being held in advance?""Well, the one after William's death anniversary at the end of September has been moved up. There's been a lot going on lately, and the old man is worried about it. Please make time next Friday night."Hearing this, Serena looked towards the upper seat and saw James picking up some food for Meng Jinyun. He picked up a piece of pork trotter with chopsticks . Meng Jinyun's eyes were red and she ate it in small bites with her eyes lowered. It seemed that she was very angry and he was teasing her.Although he played a trick on the Meng family, he probably still cared about his childhood sweetheart.

    "Jinyun is talking about fairness, I support it." James turned his head, "Sister-in-law, are you convinced?"Xie Shi didn't expect James to help her at all. Not to mention that he felt sorry for his childhood sweetheart, he wouldn't do anything just for the sake of the Meng family behind her.To put it bluntly, she did this only because she felt frustrated, and she carefully chose a way to vent her feelings. As the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she ignored the overall situation, there would be various people who forced her to do so.So she said, "Whatever Fifth Brother says is what it is."Meng Jinyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, saying sadly , "Ms. Xie, I did this so that we can get along longer in the future. You didn't grow up in a big family like ours, so you don't understand my painstaking efforts. I don't blame you."Serena dropped her eyelids and pretended not to he

    Serena returned to the flower hall with this plain face. As soon as she entered, her third brother's wife called out."Oh, sister-in-law, you..." She said "you" twice and sighed, "You look so miserable!"Serena's miserable condition aroused the sympathy of the third brother and sister-in-law, and they hurriedly stood up to help her.Serena didn't refuse, and took the hand of her third sister-in-law and sat at the last seat at the side.She had a delicate appearance to begin with, and when she was bare-faced and looked full of resentment, Xue Nanyue looked unpresentable." Serena, why did you take off your makeup for no reason?"Serena lowered her eyes and whispered, "There's a wound on my face. I'm afraid it will get infected if I don't remove it."Xue Nanyue curled the corners of her mouth and wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw the condition on her face, she swallowed her words back.

Why don't you tell me?""How can other people's words be as profound as your own feelings? Don't worry, you will experience a lot more pain in the future." Meng Jinyun looked at her red and swollen left cheek and laughed, "Poor thing, you already look stupid, and now you look even more disgusting."She was provoking her to get angry. It seemed that after saving face, it was time to save the reality. Serena's eyelashes trembled slightly."Ms. Meng is not at the banquet admiring the flowers and smelling the fragrance, but is running to the bathroom to smell the air freshener. This should not be as simple as a quarrel.""It's that simple. I just want to see you lose."Serena smiled too."It sounds like Miss Meng feels that she has won, but how has she won?
