Chapter 28 Our Story

If Serena was given a knife, the thing she would want to do most right now would probably be to shut James up.

But she didn't have a knife, so she took out her cell phone and dialed Elliot's number.

Elliot answered the phone quickly, speaking briskly, "Sister Serena, what's the matter?"

Serena's guilt immediately rose to the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed it, "Elliot, my family wants to see you, is it convenient for you?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Serena's palms were sweaty. She prayed desperately that the clever and resourceful Comrade Elliot could quickly come up with a good way to shirk the responsibility.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Comrade Elliot made up his mind and said, “Okay, I’ll be there right away!”

After saying that, he hung up.

"How to say?"

"He said...he'll be there soon..."

Serena answered mechanically, and everyone present was silent. Only Chen Xiaoyu cheered, "Wow, I'm so looking forward to it."

"I'll be there soon... Sister-in-law, does he know you're here?"

The third sister-in-law asked a thought-provoking question. Serena quickly opened her phone and prepared to share her location. Unexpectedly, just after she clicked on the share button, Sister Liu came in to report, "Madam, there is a Mr. Liu outside. He said he is here to see Miss Xie."

For the first time in her life, Serena deeply experienced what it meant to arrive immediately. It really was very, very immediately.

Soon, Mr. Liu was brought in by Sister Liu. As soon as he stepped in, he nodded to James, "Mr. Forrest!"

It's a conditioned reflex for workers to smoke and burn their lungs.

Mr. Forrest smiled slightly, not polite at all , " Elliot, I heard that you are my sister-in-law's boyfriend?"

Serena coughed and greeted, "Elliot, it's like this... I..."

"Yes, I'm your sister-in-law's boyfriend!" Elliot said respectfully.

James' smile turned even colder.

Elliot looked at the main seat again. Xue Nanyan, Mrs. Chen, and Chen Xiaoyu, who was leaning against her, were sitting in the main seat. Serena came up to introduce them, but Elliot greeted them warmly, "Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Chen."

After greeting, he looked at Serena and asked, "What happened? Why do you suddenly want to meet the parents? Are you willing to acknowledge me?"

"My family suddenly asked me about this, and I thought it would be necessary for you to get to know each other a little bit since we've been apart for a while."

fabricated stiffly , her face turned to Elliot, winking at him, and Elliot stood still with a sunny smile.

"So that's how it is! I was so scared!" He held Serena's hand, "Just now I saw you answer the phone and left in a hurry. I thought something big had happened so I followed you quietly. Fortunately, it's okay ."

The man spoke with his head shaking and an exaggerated expression, obviously just to make Serena happy.

Mrs. Dong was an experienced person and could tell the difference immediately. She whispered, "Sister Yan, they really seem to be a couple . "

Xue Nanyan narrowed her eyes , "Mr. Liu, we, as elders, called you here out of concern for Serena. I wonder when you started this?"

Serena squeezed out a word from between her teeth. Elliot heard it and took out a handkerchief to signal her to wipe the sweat off her face. He considerately escorted her back to her seat and stood aside.

"We have different views. I have loved her for one year, seven months and twenty-one days, and she has been with me for seven months and three days."

Without waiting for any questions, he enthusiastically recited his love history, saying that he first met Serena during the campus recruitment one year and seven months ago, and fell in love at first sight. As a result, he did not apply for the job at Chenyue until a year ago. As soon as he got in, he started pursuing her and finally won her heart seven months ago.

The story was told with great emotion, and it moved the third sister-in-law deeply. She calmed down and realized that this was very similar to the boyfriend described earlier by Serena.

He must be over 183cm tall. Although his clothes are of inferior brands, he has fair skin , a healthy body, and a clear mind and a handsome figure . It is very likely that such a man would be photographed by a crazy fan when he takes his girlfriend to the beach to sunbathe.

Mrs. Chen was also looking at him, but the difference was that she didn't think the story was touching, but that the man looked familiar.

"Mr. Liu's job is Chen Yue's secretary, right?"

"Yes, my performance is good, and my salary will definitely increase next year."

Xue Nanyan smiled and nodded, "Very good, but I have a question, can Mr. Liu afford a Lamborghini with his salary?"

Mr. Liu was speechless. He looked at Serena with difficulty. Serena looked away in despair. Unexpectedly, she bumped into James's eyes which were filled with coldness. She felt a pain in her heart and quickly looked away.

Elliot seemed to have thought it through.

He cleared his throat and said, "Although my salary is not high, but..."

"Oh, I remember now!" Mrs. Chen suddenly sat up straight, "Who is Mr. Liu from Dawson Group to you?"

Most people in the field have heard of the Dawson Group, a leader in the hotel industry in southern China. The chairman's surname is Liu and he is in his fifties. It is said that he has a son, but he has almost never brought him out, so he is very mysterious.

Amidst the uproar, many looks of disbelief were cast over.

Elliot scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "That's... my dad."

Serena was stunned. She repeated, "Your father?"

Elliot hesitated, "Sister Serena, I didn't hide it from you on purpose, it's mainly..."

The third sister-in-law has read a lot of novels, so she understood everything immediately. "You are afraid that the eldest sister-in-law is interested in your money instead of you as a person. You want the purest love. Am I right?"

Elliot suddenly understood and nodded vigorously, "That's right!"

Xue Nanyue slammed the table and stood up.

Elliot thought she didn't believe him, so he hurriedly asked, "How about I call my dad?"

"No."

The one who answered was James. He stood up without knowing when and walked to Elliot's side. They were about the same height, but their aura was not on the same level. He crushed Elliot.

"Mom, have you had enough of the trouble?"

Xue Nanyan's breathing was uneven, "I'm making trouble?"

"You've put on such a big show just to let your sister-in-law's boyfriend make a splash. If you don't know, you'd think you're his mother."

He glanced at Elliot.

Xue Nanyue was so angry that her face turned blue, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was shaking. Mrs. Chen saw that the show had failed, so she covered her daughter's mouth and dared not say a word.

“Elliot.”

"Mr. Forrest."

"I don't deserve it. Mr. Liu's son left his job at a good hotel to come to Chenyue to be a secretary, just to pursue love. It's really touching."

James put his hands in his pockets, his lips curled up but not smiling, with an inexplicable hostility . Serena recovered and quickly stood in front of Elliot.

need Fifth Brother to comment on our story ."

James chuckled, "Your story?"

Serena became even more angry and didn't want to provoke him anymore, so she took Elliot and said goodbye to Xue Nanyue.

Xue Nanyue rubbed her forehead and sat back in her seat as if exhausted. She glanced at the two of them and after a long while, she smiled kindly.

"It's a rare trip, stay and have a meal before leaving."

Serena said hurriedly, "Aunt Yan, he has something else to do."

Elliot blurted out without thinking, "What's wrong with me?"

Well, dinner can’t be postponed.
