James frowned.
Serena raised her head with eyes flashing, in a pleading manner.
James asked in a veiled tone, "Why am I not engaged?"
Serena's eyes gradually turned red.
"I don't want you to get engaged."
James pinched her chin to prevent her from looking away, and said in a particularly deep voice, "Why don't you want to?"
Yes, why? Because of the love he no longer needs, or because of the chaotic relationship between them?
As the heir of Jincheng Group, James' marriage must be with the daughter of a powerful person. As the saying goes, win-win cooperation is the choice that maximizes public and private interests. Even if Chen Xiaoyu is gone, there will still be Wang Xiaoyu.
Therefore, even if there had not been that accidental incident, their future would still be hopeless.
There was no destiny between her and him.
Serena's throat was sore and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
She lowered her eyes an
A clear male voice suddenly came, and a tall figure approached. The man gently embraced Serena and said with a smile, "She at least has a cup of morning coffee from me, her boyfriend, every morning. Miss Chen doesn't have that.""Elliot?!""Wrong." Elliot shook his finger. "Ms. Chen is no longer my colleague. You should call me Mr. Sterling. Didn't your grandfather teach you the basic etiquette in social situations?"Chen Xiaoyu sneered, "Mr. Sterling knows social etiquette, so he should keep a close eye on his girlfriend to prevent her from flirting with other women and cheating on you!"Elliot frowned at that and looked at Serena."My dear, are the weeds outside as handsome as my house flower?"Serena raised her eyes and said affirmatively, "No."Elliot nodded with satisfaction, pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, and said lovingly, "I know that in our sister Serena's heart, there is no man more handsome than me, with better skills
"Of course it's convenient, I'll come see you wherever you are!""No need, let's talk on the phone." Wu Dongliang took a breath, "Mr. Forrest didn't make things difficult for me. The police only gave me an administrative warning and I was released that night. I asked Chen Yue's security friend for your contact information. Don't worry, I won't contact you again after this call."This didn't sound good to Serena."You're leaving?""Well, Jing City is my sad place. I didn't want to leave before because of my daughter, but now... I've let it go."Wu Dongliang took a puff of cigarette and started coughing."I know that Mr. Forrest of yours is willing to let me go. It must be you who helped behind the scenes. I won't thank you. Your father harmed me. Your Xie family owes me for the rest of my life." He said angrily, "But you...you and your mother...you really don't know what's going on behind the scenes."Wu Dongliang came out of the instr
Xue Nanyue is keen on organizing parties , or it can be said that for wives like them, contributing to the family's social life is a basic responsibility. The Forrest family has a lot of reputation, so the parties she organizes are always top-notch and of the highest quality. It is a positive cycle, and the upper class circles all love to support her.In previous years, she would not have thought of Serena. As the one brought into the family by William, the Forrest family had always tried not to mention Serena, and wished that Serena was as transparent as possible. Of course, she would not be included in such social activities .No, thanks to Elliot, she is qualified.The charity dinner was scheduled for the last day of the month. Shen Qingxiang knew that Serena didn't have enough dresses to wear for the occasion, so she brought four sets to her house for her to choose from.After trying on the third set, Shen Qingxiang pulled open the curtain on one s
She called out as she ran over, pushing through the crowd, and Serena finally saw the big man behind the crowd.James was wearing a dark green suit with gold thread. The style was Western but the details were Chinese. The straight standing collar made him look tall, dazzling and domineering. He stood among the crowd like a moon surrounded by stars, like an emperor in full command of all powers.For the first time, Serena felt his aura so intuitively in the world of fame and fortune. It was very different from how he looked in front of her. He didn't have that unbridled and unruly look, nor did he have the restlessness and wildness of those times when he was lustful.Here, he is cold and wise, looking down on everything and keeping everything under control.Chen Xiaoyu held James affectionately."Didn't you say you couldn't come?"James said lovingly , "I'm afraid you'd be angry."The booing started , and Serena came to her senses and
Even Xue Nanyue knew to put it in the context of their friendship, but James insisted on accusing her of doing it for money.She can do anything for money, this is how she is in his mind now.In fact, given today's situation, with Xue Nanyue and Old Madam Chen present, she could easily refuse this performance. No matter how unwilling Chen Xiaoyu was, she could not beat the respectable elders. No matter how eloquent James was, he was not right in this matter .But Serena suddenly didn't want to refuse.Just play the piano. If he can still afford the engagement party, then she should just play the piano openly. Hiding here and there is no point except showing her sadness to him for his amusement. It would be better for everyone to be disgraceful together.Who is afraid of whom."My fifth brother and Miss Chen are getting engaged. I am so happy. No gift can be as good as my personal blessing. It is rare that my fifth brother and his family app
Serena picked up the tissue bag on the ground, took out a few and handed them to her."How long has he been haunting you?""Three months." Yu Chunjiao's tears quickly soaked a tissue. "At first, he just sent flowers and bags and invited me to dinner. I confiscated the gifts and pushed back the dinner invitations whenever possible. But he was everywhere, and the dean couldn't do anything about it. After all, his last name was Chen. I accompanied him to dinner twice, and hinted countless times that I didn't like him and asked him to give up, but it was useless."This was not much different from her investigation. Serena sighed, "He left today because of the Forrest family, not because he gave up on you. I can help you once, but I can't help you next time. What are your plans?"Yu Chunjiao cried until three tissues were wet, and then she spoke intermittently, "If it doesn't work out, I'll go to the theater in the south and not stay here."Serena lau
Shen Qingxiang was not interested . "Didn't he say that he had some business to discuss? He will be back after that.""But when my brother met him, he had already finished talking. He even told my brother to go back quickly." Chen Xiaoyu glanced at Xue Nanyan, "Sister Qingxiang, you don't know, I just heard the dancers passing by talking about a man and a woman they saw in the backstage corridor. They sounded a lot like James and my sister-in-law .""Xiao Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Nanyue said sternly.In fact, all three of them heard what the dancers said.But the specific content was very vague. It only said that a handsome man and a beautiful woman were seen entering the dressing room very intimately, and then there were boring gossip and speculation. In such social occasions, it was very common to have occasional mishaps and backstage quarrels. Even the group of dancers were only surprised by their looks and were not surprised by
Xue Nanyan stared at the door, hesitant. Lin Boting said James was downstairs, so there was no reason for him to lie to her, so he must be downstairs. There were many wealthy people at such occasions, and they were naturally romantic. There were also many people in the entertainment industry, who were the best romantic targets.Find a room to do some happy things. As long as you don't make any noise or cause any trouble, no one will care.If there was such a couple behind the door, and if the news got out, she, Xue Nanyue, would become a different person, that would be fine. But if the news got out the wrong way and it turned out to be a case of catching an adulterer, wouldn't James be in trouble for no reason?Lin Boting was still curious, "Why are you all standing here? What imagination? Miss Shen Er, am I here at the wrong time?"Shen Qingxiang shook her head. "It's time, Aunt Yan, Miss Chen, if you want to continue, I won't accompany you. I have to
