The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 319

The confinement room was deathly silent.Lu Ming stood on the side, watching with horror.

Chu Xing looked stern, the corners of his lips sank, and he didn't speak.The bruise on Poppy's forehead was still there, and her breathing was as thin as a gossamer, but with the last bit of strength, she stared at Chu Xing with a pair of black and white eyes.

Lu Ming's heart trembled, he had never seen Poppy show such a look in his eyes.Even when she looked at A Liang and Li Zhi before, Poppy's eyes were only indifferent and disgusted, and there was a hint of disdain, which was completely different from what it is now. The heartfelt enemy.

Lu Ming opened his mouth, and bravely came out to smooth things over: "Why are you still standing there! Miss Poppy has become like this, why don't you rush her to the hospital!"

With a wink from Lu Ming, the people around seemed to have just been activated, making phone calls, taking body temperature.Poppy lay in Jiang Mian's arms with her eyes closed, her fingers were hooked to a corner of Jiang Mian's clothes, and she refused to let go.Lu Ming glanced at Chu Xing secretly, and the latter's eyes fell on Poppy's hand, without saying a word and expressionless.

After loading Poppy into the ambulance, Lu Ming stood behind the car and sent the leader away, finally heaving a sigh of relief.The subordinate came up timidly, and said in a low voice: "The young master has already left. President Lu, young master, the young master has lost face this time, isn't it... isn't it a bit of a joke?"

"What's the point of losing some face? With Poppy, the young master has done less to lose face?" Lu Ming sneered, turned around and walked back, and said, "Didn't you see Poppy's eyes just now, that's what happened?" He is a person who really wants to play Dafabet!"

Kneeling in the confinement room for a day, Poppy has turned from a cold to acute pneumonia.When he entered the hospital, he was already in a semi-comatose state.Jiang Mian called her softly. After a while, Poppy opened half of her eyes slightly, and closed them again before she could see clearly.

During the infusion process, Jiang Mian stayed by her bedside holding Poppy's hand.Poppy was lethargic at first, but after two or three hours, she gradually woke up.With a blank face, he didn't speak, just closed his eyes and rested his mind.Lu Ming came over halfway, gently pushed the door open a crack and took a look in. Seeing it, Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, but stood up and prepared to go out.

Poppy was half leaning against the head of the bed, and said coldly at this moment: "What is Mr. Lu doing?"

Lu Ming froze, pushed open the door of the ward, laughed a few times, and said, "It's nothing. Seeing that Miss Poppy is so angry today, I was afraid that you would not cooperate with the treatment, so I wanted to persuade you. Now it seems My worries are unnecessary. Do you still have a fever?"

Poppy said lukewarmly: "I have let you down. It's a pity that I don't want to die yet."

"..." Lu Ming's throat choked up, and he immediately put on a smiling face, and raised the thermos bucket in his hand, "Is Miss Poppy hungry? I heard from the young master that Miss Poppy likes to drink fish porridge? This is what the young master specially called me." Sent!"

"I'm not hungry." Poppy said slowly, "It's a waste of time to let Mr. Lu go. Please take it back to Mr. Lu."

Lu Ming silently vomited a mouthful of blood, and his face became more and more smiling: "If you are not hungry now, you will always be hungry soon, right? I will put the thermos here first, and when Miss Poppy is hungry, I will eat it again." .Not in a hurry, is it?"

Poppy raised her eyelids, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Are you sure Chu Xing asked you to send it?"

"……yes!"

Poppy sneered, "You think I'm insane? Are you stupid enough to believe your nonsense?"

"..."

Poppy stared at him again, and said word by word: "I said take it. You still don't understand, do you?"

Lu Ming's back was sweating coldly, and he almost wanted to kneel on the ground.

Lu Ming had no choice but to return to Chu's house with the thermos bucket intact.After seeing the butler, he handed over the thermos bucket and spread his hands helplessly.The butler understood it at a glance, took it, and pointed in the direction of the study, and waved his hand in an inscrutable manner.

Lu Ming said in a low voice: "When I left the ward, Poppy asked me to tell the young master a word, and she said it in a very polite way. Why did she disappoint the young master? However, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. I am afraid that in the past ten years, she will be kind to her. No matter how hard it is to repay you in this life. Let the young master treat her as really dead in the future, and there will be no more people like this——Do you dare to tell me this?! Do I look like someone who wants to die?!"

The butler sighed slightly and didn't answer.Lu Ming closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then asked, "What do you say, Master?"

"This afternoon, the young master didn't even mention the words Miss Poppy." The housekeeper said softly, "I came out of the study just now, and I heard the tone of the young master's phone conversation with others. It seems that there is a person named Cao Yangdong. Tonight There is a posture of being plotted against. Not only will the hands and feet be cut off, but both eyes will be blinded by a knife."

After Poppy woke up, when Jiang Mian was gently applying ointment on her forehead, Jiang Xin came to visit with a bunch of fruits.

Since Poppy promised Chu Xing that she would never return to Jiang's house, due to various reasons, she has never returned to Jiang's house until now.Later, Chu Xing also mentioned that she should have less contact with Jiang's brothers and sisters. This time, Poppy didn't listen, and still kept talking to Jiang Mian every other day.

It's just that Poppy didn't have much contact with Jiang Xin from the beginning to the end, nor was she closer than Jiang Mian.Jiang Xin is reserved and reticent, and Poppy doesn't like to talk too much. The two of them only talked on the phone once. As a result, the total time of silence in the two minutes was more than half. Since then, they tacitly stopped calling each other.

However, Poppy glanced at the fruit basket in Jiang Xin's hand today, and found that everything in it was her favorite fruit.

She only told Jiang Mian sporadically about these fruits.Somehow it reached Jiang Xin's ears.Poppy watched silently as Jiang Xin sat down in the chair by the bed and peeled an apple casually.He was obviously not very skilled in peeling the fruit, and the thick flesh was thrown into the trash can section by section with the skin on.Poppy used to see Chu Xing peeling, it was always a thin layer, and it was coherent from the beginning to the end, and the method was as neat and beautiful as when he shot.Looking at Jiang Xin peeling the skin now, after a while, I felt a little horrible, and couldn't help turning my head away.

Jiang Xin didn't realize it, and handed over the flesh that was too small, and waited for Poppy to thank her and took it with both hands, before saying in a deep voice: "I think the Chu family is not good, so I can go back to the Jiang family."

Poppy said, "Nothing."

Jiang Xin glanced at her, and added: "Amian and I will do our best to protect you, don't be afraid."

Poppy was slightly taken aback, her eyes suddenly sore.She immediately raised her eyes, blinked, and forced back the tears.Knowing that Jiang Xin and Jiang Mian had seen it, but they still pretended they hadn't seen it, and said nonchalantly: "It's really all right. I'll stay at the Chu family."

Poppy stayed in the ward for a day, and there were only three people who came to see her.Lu Ming was driven away by her, Jiang Xin only sat for a while, and Jiang Mian stayed by the bed all the time.The next day, Poppy took a nap and felt that someone was watching her.Opening her eyelids, Li Youying was sitting on the side of the bed, propping her chin with one hand, tilting her head slightly, looking at her without blinking.

When he saw her wake up, he was shocked, his eyes immediately turned away in embarrassment, and then quickly turned back, this time with a smile on his face: "Did I wake you up?"

"No."

"I came in just now and saw that you were sleeping, so I didn't want to wake you up." Li Youying said, "I haven't been able to get through to you on the phone these days. I asked Jiang Mian in the morning to find out that you were hospitalized with pneumonia. Do you feel better now?"

Poppy nodded.She was still a little sleepy, her consciousness was fuzzy, and she didn't want to speak.Li Youying noticed it, and continued with a smile: "Jiang Mian's tone, have you been feeling a little bit lately?"

Poppy thought for a moment, then nodded again.Her movements were slow, and it was rare for her to look a little dazed. Seeing in Li Youying's eyes, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then after you leave the hospital, let's go out and play together, shall we?"

Poppy thought for a while, finally opened her mouth this time, and said slowly: "Okay."

Li Youying looked at her and said softly, "Where do you want to go?"

Poppy didn't think about it: "Not in City C. Not to the southwest. It's best not to be in this province. Any other place is fine."

Li Youying thought for a moment: "Is it good to go abroad? Find a place near the equator, where the sea water is so blue and transparent, so it's easy to look at, okay?"

Poppy thought for a while, then slowly said, "Yes."

Poppy was hospitalized for a week, during which Lu Ming did not come again, and no one else from the Chu family came to summon and visit her.One night Jiang Mian consulted the doctor and came back, but did not see Poppy in the ward.After finding the balcony and opening the floor-to-ceiling windows, she found that Poppy was sitting on the balcony with her back facing her.The wind blew the ends of her hair up, and Poppy's two feet hung high in the air on a dozen or so floors.

Jiang Mian suddenly took a breath.

Poppy heard the sound, turned around, Jiang Mian immediately took a few small steps, and reached out to grab her: "A Pu, what are you going to do!"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to blow the air." Poppy said so, and obediently pulled Jiang Mian back to the ground, adding, "Really."

Jiang Mian still looked in disbelief, staring into her eyes with a serious face.Poppy stared at her for a while, then took a step back and said softly, "I can't sleep these two days. I think about something from my childhood."

"What happened when you were a child?"

Poppy pursed her lips slightly, looked away, and said lightly, "It's just some small things, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Mian looked at her for a long time and didn't ask any more questions.Just said: "The doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. You really don't want to go back to Jiang's house with me?"

Poppy nodded.

Jiang Mian has asked this question many times in the past few days, but Poppy just nodded and refused to explain the reason.This time, she gave up saying "why" and just pushed her back to the ward, saying: "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to take you to Chu's house."

Early the next morning, the weather was gloomy.Poppy returned to Chu's house, and after getting out of the car, she saw the housekeeper approaching her from a short distance away, with her eyelids slightly drooping, as if she had nothing to do with herself.Poppy stood where she was, and when he got close, she suddenly turned around and walked around him expressionlessly.

The housekeeper did not catch up with her, but said slowly behind her: "Miss Poppy, welcome back."

Poppy snorted coldly, pretending not to hear.The butler watched her go farther and farther, and added: "The young master ordered, if you come back, please go directly to the study to find him."

Poppy continued to walk forward, still pretending not to hear.The butler sighed slightly, and said, "Since Miss Poppy has heard it, why pretend she didn't hear it."

Poppy finally stopped, turned around, and walked in front of him.She looked at him with dark eyes, coldly like an awl, and slowly said: "Since I pretended I didn't hear it, it means I don't want to obey. No matter how much you say, I will act as if I didn’t hear it. It’s you, knowing that I pretended not to hear it, but you still have to ask again, which is the real reason. Old housekeeper, I think you have dementia, or what?”

After Poppy finished speaking, she turned around and left, ignoring everyone's silent sideways glances.The butler watched her turn, and her figure floated away behind the leafy crabapple tree, and sighed slightly again.

Poppy said she wouldn't go to the study, but in the end she really didn't go to the study.Chu Xing did not call anyone to urge her.Poppy spent the whole morning in a daze at the residence, and in the afternoon she went to the garage to pick up the car, and walked out of the residence slowly.When they drove to the gate of Chu's house, they saw Li Zhi and Chu walking in front from a distance.

There was an autumn wind blowing, and the sleeves of their clothes were tightly pressed together.Chu Xing has always walked fast and steadily, but now he is accommodating Li Zhi's pace, walking slowly with her.Li Zhi was wearing a red windbreaker, which made his waist slim, but his movements were quite dancing, as if he was joking.

Poppy pursed her lips slightly.Just in time, I saw the wind blowing the detached silk scarf, and a corner could barely fall into Chu Xing's palm.

Chu Xing held it, said something casually, and saw Li Zhi turn his face to the side, and smiled.Chu Xing wrapped the scarf around Li Zhi's neck, Poppy squinted her eyes, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed straight towards the two of them like an arrow from the string.

Li Zhi only had time to hear the screeching sound of the sports car being accelerated rapidly.Before he could react to the situation, his body was suddenly pushed by Chu Xing, and he fell down on the short flowers beside him.

Li Zhi's whole body hurts from the bump, and the newly bought windbreaker was also scratched.Looking back in embarrassment, a sports car stopped firmly at the place they had just walked by.The car window was slowly rolled down, revealing Poppy's expressionless side face.

Li Zhi was taken aback for a moment, but the next moment he couldn't help screaming: "You are crazy! The young master is here! You want to kill the young master too, don't you!"

Poppy raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled silently.Turning his head, his eyes slowly passed over Li Zhi's face.Li Zhi felt a chill in his heart, and the next moment Poppy spoke slowly, to Chu Xing who was also covered with mud on his trouser legs, and his tone was not very sincere, even perfunctory: "I'm sorry. I stepped on the wrong gas pedal. .”
