The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 308

Li Youying has been asking Poppy out since he invited him to go fishing.

Li Youying's overall feeling for Poppy is different from others.His words are sincere, his posture is also generous, he is considerate and hearty, he will not deliberately brag or point fingers, and there is also a bit of humor. Even if such a person has a different kind of intention to please, he will not be easily disgusted.After Poppy declined several times in a row, she would always agree once because of her guilt. In this way, she would go out with Li Youying once or twice in a week.

Poppy has been a little listless these days.She was always reticent, and when she was in a bad mood, she sat there absent-minded, like a piece of wood that was indifferent.Li Youying saw it clearly and didn't point it out, she was still talking and laughing.

Most of the topics Li Youying talked with Poppy revolved around eating, drinking and having fun.It's just that these four themes are often described very wonderfully by him, and sometimes he successfully diverts Poppy's attention back.Every time Poppy went out to play with him, she was always more relaxed when she came back than when she went.Once Poppy came out of her own fugue and asked about Li Youying's situation: "What do you do? How do you have the time to travel between City A and City C?"

"Although I'm just doing a small business, I won't be free like you said with 'so much time'." Li Youying tilted her head slightly, and said in a serious tone, "A day or two is fine, if the number of times I come to C City If there are too many, I have no choice but to come over during the day and go back to deal with business at night."

Poppy could hear the flattery in his words, but she lowered her eyes, as if unmoved, and said slowly: "Are you saying that to impress others with sympathy?"

"I absolutely don't dare to think like this." Li Youying waved her hands again and again, and said with a smile, "I just want to express that you are worthy of my traveling back and forth between the two cities. That's all. Don't misunderstand me like this."

Since leaving Chu's house that day, among the things that Poppy encountered in the next few months, except for Li Youying, there was no bright spot to speak of.

First, Cao Yangdong's ghost lingers.After the expected effect was not achieved in the guild hall, they persisted in pestering for two days.After blocking Poppy for the third time, and saying to her, "Miss Poppy is nothing after leaving Chuxing", Poppy finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed his shoulder in full view of everyone in the shopping mall, and then used The knee slammed under him.

Cao Yangdong let out a scream, and immediately knelt down on the ground covering his crotch.Poppy shook off the two bodyguards behind him, turned around and left.After walking several meters away, I could still hear Cao Yangdong, who became angry from embarrassment, threatened to punish the Jiang family and her to kneel on the ground and beg him.

Poppy didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Cao Yangdong's words would go back to his words, and he would never really do so.A few days later, she got up and went downstairs to have breakfast. Jiang Xin and Jiang Mian were talking quietly at the dining table.Poppy went to ask Jiang Mian after breakfast, but the other party still said in an understatement tone: "It's nothing serious. It's just that someone deliberately sabotaged our business. It's just temporary, and my brother will fix it soon."

Poppy obviously didn't believe what she said: "Who is it?"

Jiang Mian shook her head slightly, but refused to answer.Poppy sat across from her, staring at her with two lacquer-like eyes all the time, her face darkened: "If you don't tell me now, I will know later. It must be Cao Yangdong, or Chu Xing. After all, this The two are inseparable, aren't they?"

Holding the coffee in both hands, Jiang Mian didn't look at Poppy, and didn't want to answer.Poppy asked in a cold voice: "Is that Chu Xing?"

Jiang Mian finally gave up, and sighed softly: "Not all. It is said that Cao Yangdong provoked the provocation. Later, somehow he got in touch with A Liang, and then said it into Chu Xing's ears. These two people They are deliberately dealing with our family together. Cao Yangdong has no morals at all in his work. The methods used to deal with Jiang's family this time are all low-end methods, but they are indeed insidious. I don't know what they want to do It’s just over, if we can stop now, then everything will be easy to handle. If we keep procrastinating like this, our family will be in big trouble before long. My brother hasn’t slept fully for many days.”

After Poppy listened, she was silent for a while, sitting there motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.Jiang Mian was opposite her, and saw that Poppy's eyes were getting colder and colder, and her face gradually seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.Finally she raised her head and asked Jiang Mian: "I can't handle it anymore, can I?"

Jiang Mian frowned slightly, but stopped talking.Poppy's eyes flickered as if there were chilling blades, but when she nodded, she said calmly: "I see."

Jiang Mian is very worried about Poppy, always worried that she will do something out of the ordinary.After speaking that day, I told Poppy thousands of times not to interfere.Jiang Mian said a lot, and Poppy didn't refute, but she didn't say hello clearly after listening quietly, but just nodded slightly.

However, in the next few days, Poppy remained in control.Sometimes he played flower arrangement at home, sometimes Li Youying came to pick her up and then went out to play, or sometimes he went shopping by himself, and didn't do anything else.Until one day she went from the east of the city to a shopping mall in the west of the city. After wandering there for a day, she met Lu Ming when she was taking a taxi home.

Lu Ming drove a black car, pulled over to the side of the road and rolled down the window to greet her.Poppy pretended not to see it, and planned to take a taxi at another intersection, but when she was crossing the road, Lu Ming slammed on the brakes to block her way.

Poppy stood where she was, with a blank expression on her face wearing wide sunglasses: "Mr. Lu, illegal parking is a minor incident. Don't you think it's embarrassing to be stared at by passers-by?"

Lu Ming parked on the right, got down and stood in front of her, still smiling: "Who told Miss Poppy to pretend that she didn't know me. At least it was a good acquaintance. It's not kind of you to do so."

"Are you okay?"

Lu Ming pointed to the opposite teahouse: "It's so hot here, it's inconvenient to talk, let's go have a drink."

Poppy remained expressionless: "I'm in a hurry to go home and have dinner."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner."

Poppy's lips moved slightly, and she said, "Get lost."

The smile on Lu Ming's face finally faded a little: "Poppy, you know how to be flattering. I'm here to persuade you for your own good, otherwise you think I'm willing to stick to you with my hot face?"

Poppy had a cold face, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"A-Liang has been enjoying himself recently, and everyone on the road regards you as a joke. Although Li Zhi was also neglected in the past, at least he was not dismissed like you. Recently, A-Liang has deliberately planned several things, all of which are aimed at you. The young master yesterday In the evening, I agreed to everything again. How long do you think you can last? Ah Liang is not much bigger than your heart. Since you have offended her, as long as you are not satisfied with her for a day, she will not give up. You Do you think the Jiang family can keep you? Do you believe that if the young master puts pressure on you for a few more days, the Jiang family will be benevolent if they don’t send you to the Chu family in person?"

Lu Ming stopped for a while, seeing that Poppy remained silent, he continued to persuade him: "Master, I dismissed you before because you were too outrageous and had such a tough temper. Ah Liang was able to please Master because she and you On the contrary, she knows her position in front of the young master, and she is very shrewd in being obedient. But no matter how hot she is with the young master, no matter how hot her relationship is, it can't compare to the deep feelings you have accumulated over the past ten years. Think about it for so many years , How many messes has the young master cleaned up for you? Is there anyone else who can be favored by him for so many years like you? He used to indulge you without boundaries, and now it is impossible to let you go all at once. You come back with me, If you are a little bit softer and more sincere in front of the young master, how could the young master ignore you? It's better than you being stabbed in the back by Ah Liang and being unable to fight back."

Lu Ming spoke dryly, Poppy looked at him through the sunglasses, suddenly smiled, and said softly, "Mr. Lu."

"……what?"

"You tried your best to persuade me to go back, do you want to use me as a knife to deal with Ah Liang?"

Lu Ming's expression froze, and soon he coughed slightly, and said, "...you think too much."

Poppy didn't take his denial to heart at all, took off her sunglasses, opened and closed the frames in her hands, and said slowly: "Really? But from your tone just now, it seems that you and Miss A Liang have been getting along these days. Not very good. Where did she offend you, forcing you to come to me as a weapon?"

"..."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Poppy's lips, and with such a slight movement, her facial features seemed to be unparalleled in an instant.

She raised her eyes, with curved eyebrows and thick eyelashes, looking at Lu Ming quietly.At that moment, Lu Ming felt dazzled, and heard her softly say: "Tell me and listen."

Lu Ming's heart moved, and he almost blurted out.However, even though he shut up in time, it was already too late.When she looked down again, the delicate and charming colors on Poppy's face had long since disappeared, and she was looking at him with a smile rather than a smile, with a strong sense of sarcasm.

Lu Ming only felt his scalp go numb, but Poppy opened his car door and sat in it on his own: "Okay. Get in the car. I'll go back to Chu's house with you."

When the car drove into Chu's house and stopped slowly, Lu Ming took a look at Poppy from the rearview mirror, unexpectedly meeting her dark and deep eyes.Lu Ming immediately looked away, but was still caught by Poppy, and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Ming always felt that Poppy was more troublesome when she smiled than when she didn't.But he couldn't help but respond, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "...what to do?"

"I am such a narrow-minded person, if you dare to use me as a weapon, aren't you afraid that I will return it someday?"

Lu Ming was slightly taken aback, and when he turned his head to look again, Poppy had already opened the car door and walked out by herself.
