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
The day after returning to Beijing, Serena went to the nursing home to visit her mother. The doctor praised her for her good performance and her recent vital signs had been quite stable. Serena washed her body, cut her nails, and changed the flower arrangements on the windowsill. 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. After all, according to gossip, XX Plaza was investigated a few days ago, and all construction projects were suspended, which caused the workers to make trouble, thus exposing the capital chain problems of Jinchengbei City's subsidiary.At the critical moment, Meng provided money and connections and made great efforts to help with the cash flow, and the subsidiary finally
Serena's ears suddenly rang and half of her face felt hot.She guessed that Meng Jinyun would not let her go easily, but she did not expect it to come so quickly and undisguisedly.This slap also stunned several people around . There were not many passengers near the VIP channel, but there were staff members, who looked over in twos and threes with inquiring eyes.The first to speak was the third sister-in-law. She said sternly , "Miss Meng, what do you mean by this!"As soon as she said this, Meng Jinxiu immediately pulled her sleeve.Meng Jinyun rubbed his numb palms."I mean to make peace with my sister-in-law."She asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Does it hurt? Don't blame me. I'm trying my best to recreate the slap you gave me."Serena dodged her hand, she was not annoyed, but more eager."Sister-in-law, if I don't return this slap to you, I will always have a thorn in my heart. As long as you are in
Serena put down her powder puff and turned around."Ms. Meng must understand this pain more deeply than I do. 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? After waiting for three years, you give me a slap in the face? Miss Meng's
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. If you say she was injured, it was j
