The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 346

On the third day after Li Zhi's death, Liang Tiancheng held an extremely grand funeral for his youngest daughter.In front of everyone at the funeral, he swore an oath not to destroy the Chu family.

"...Last night, all our properties in T City were annihilated or looted by Liang Tiancheng. The people there were prepared for Liang Tiancheng's revenge, but they didn't expect him to be so fast and violent. Your cousin Young Master Yu was found by Liang Tiancheng's subordinates from the hotel room, he was shot twice, and he is still in first aid. Liang Tiancheng has taken over all our territory in T city," Lu Ming said solemnly, "It is said that Liang Tiancheng's two A son tried to persuade Liang Tiancheng, but it was useless. He is now crazy."

Chu Xing's expression remained unchanged, and he said flatly: "Since you are already crazy, don't you want to say anything cruel to me?"

"...I said it." Lu Ming originally wanted to skip this paragraph, but since Chu Xing asked, he could only answer truthfully, "He said that he promised that the Chu family would only have half a month to live. Let you, Let you cherish it."

Chu Xing laughed and didn't take it seriously: "How long the Chu family can live, I have the final say."

When they said this, Poppy on the side didn't listen at all.She was lying on the sofa with her legs curled up, a thin blanket was put on her body, and she was stretching out her hand a little to pick up the few decorative flower petals in the fish tank beside her.

Her few fingers were slender and delicate, immersed in water, there was an indescribable beauty.He is lazy, and when he is not talking, his facial expression is mellow, with a kind of dignity that can only be obtained after years of pampering and pampering.Poppy fished a rose petal out of the water, dripping wet between her fingers, and landed on the newly replaced carpet, she didn't care, just focused on the petal in her hand until the water drained completely, Poppy Just threw the petal on the table.

Chu Xing grabbed her hand and wiped her fingers clean with a handkerchief.In the end, she twirled her little finger twice, and suddenly said: "Leave all the things that Li Zhi was responsible for to you, do you want to?"

Poppy glanced at him, without nodding or shaking her head, she just pulled her hand away, retracted into the thin blanket, and fell asleep on her side.Chu Xing teased her a few more words, Poppy closed her eyes, but her palms covered his face accurately, pushing him away a little.

Chu Xing laughed, then turned his eyes, and continued to discuss with Lu Ming about the Liang family.

After a while, Poppy's foot curled up under the thin blanket was exposed, and when she rubbed it on the sofa, the sock was wiped off.While telling Lu Ming the countermeasure, Chu Xing picked up Poppy's calf and put the socks on for her.As a result, it was only half worn, and Poppy rubbed her other foot, and the sock was also rubbed off.

Chu Xing then put on the other sock for her.Poppy stared straight at Chu Xing, calmed down for a moment, then rubbed the two socks off again.

Chu Xing didn't move his eyebrows, held her ankle, and put the socks on her.After repeating this for about three or four times, Lu Ming's eyebrows twitched twice, and he silently turned his face away.

After Chu Xing put on her socks again, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.Suddenly he wrapped her up in a ball with a blanket in his arms.Poppy's face was sullen, he moved closer, hooked her chin, and said with a smile, "What do you want to prove?"

Poppy looked at him expressionlessly, and when Chu Xing got close to the tip of his nose, she suddenly pushed him away, jumped off the sofa, and strode up to the second floor.

Lu Ming stared at the side with straight eyes, and subconsciously said: "This, what does this mean..."

Chu Xing glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter what you mean."

Lu Ming's expression froze, and he closed his eyes immediately.Chu Xing casually twirled his fingertips and asked, "Are those informants buried in the Liang family reliable?"

"I checked and confirmed last month. Those few were all trained by me, so there should be no problem."

"That's good." Chu Xing raised his eyelids, "Half a month is too long, at most a week to clear this matter."

"Yes."

When Poppy went up to the second floor, the housekeeper just ordered someone to clean the master bedroom. When he came out, he saw her, bowed slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss Poppy, the master bedroom has been cleaned."

Poppy hummed, and stood by the stairs without moving.She behaved a little strangely, but it wasn't once or twice that she behaved strangely these days. The housekeeper had already seen the strange behavior, and went to the guest room to order someone to change the sheets.In the middle of the change, I always felt a strange chill down my spine. When I turned my head, Poppy was standing by the door, staring at him silently.

The butler looked at her: "...does Miss Poppy have any orders?"

Poppy said, "No."

The butler opened his mouth and didn't ask her why she was standing by the door like this.Poppy has become more sober recently, and her gestures and gestures bear a lot of shadows of her behavior before she got sick. Although her words are few, they are very mean. If he really asks, she will probably answer him, "Why, I can't do it right here. ?”

The butler could even imagine the cold expression on her brows when she said this.

He quickly asked someone to clean up the guest room, and went downstairs without stopping.Unexpectedly, Poppy also followed, walking behind him step by step.The housekeeper felt a little nervous, and turned to the kitchen, but Poppy also followed the kitchen.

The housekeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore, bowed deeply, and said, "Miss Poppy, is there anything you want to order when you come to the kitchen?"

Poppy's expression was indifferent: "Does it feel good to be followed?"

"..."

"I just want you to taste the feeling of being followed by you all the time."

"..."

She looked down at her fingers and said, "I'm hungry and want to eat fish porridge."

"...I'll do it."

After the butler finished speaking, he immediately went to the cabinet above his head to find a bowl.As soon as the cabinet door was opened, a large bag of flour poured down, pouring down the butler's body and face.

The housekeeper's meticulous attire on weekdays was suddenly in a state of embarrassment.The flour smeared on his face and he couldn't even wipe it off. He couldn't even open his eyes.

Poppy folded her arms and watched coldly, expressionless.There was a voice behind him with a faint smile: "It's not enough for Lu Ming after tossing, even Uncle Zhou will be teased by you?"

Poppy didn't turn her head back, but her face turned frosty, and she said coldly, "How do you know I did it?"

Chu Xing thought for a while, walked in front of her, with a smile on his face, and asked her: "Then tell me, did you do it?"

Poppy blurted out: "Even if I did it, what are you going to do!"

After hearing this, Chu Xing restrained his smile slightly, and looked at her without speaking.Poppy looked at him with cold eyes, and her neck was as stiff as a log.

Chu Xing stretched out his hand, squeezed her chin, and said, "I won't prepare for anything."

When he said this, his eyes met her eyes, and his tone was affirmative.Poppy's expression loosened slightly, and she looked away silently, he gently pinched her chin, forced her gaze back, and smiled: "Okay, haven't you always wanted to go to M City? Now is a good time to go out and play, how about I take you there to play when I am free in more than ten days?"

Poppy seemed to shake slightly all over, and looked at him suddenly.Chu Xing looked calm, and slowly stroked the corner of her eyes with his thumb, and said with a smile: "If you don't speak, I will take you as the default."

Ten days later, Yan Yu came for a follow-up visit as usual.

After seeing Chu Xing, he gracefully pushed the glasses frame with his fingertips, and praised in a chanting tone: "Young Master Chu is really a good means, I never thought that you can make T The Liang family is so big that the city is so big that the family is ruined."

Chu Xing said calmly, "Thank you."

Although the Liang family in T City has a large family and a great business, and their internal relationships are intricate, the impression they give people has never been that they will fall down at the twilight.However, this time the collapse of the Liang family did not happen overnight, but it was not far away.

On the first day, Liang Tiancheng impassionedly wanted to kill Chu Xing in front of Li Zhi's tomb. On the second night, his second son met with an accident, and on the third morning, he found the body of his third son at the pier.Liang Tiancheng was devastated, but before the two funerals were held, there was inexplicable news that his right-hand man and his right-hand man, who had always relied heavily on him, had betrayed him.

Until the night before yesterday when he was shot to death on the sofa in his living room, he probably hadn't figured out why these people would suddenly betray him, and why the huge Liang family dispersed so quickly.

Yan Yu snorted and said, "Do you know what is being spread in Taoism now? It is actually spreading that Li Zhi failed to woo you many times, was humiliated and ridiculed by friends, so he committed suicide with hatred, Liang Tiancheng wanted to get rid of you a long time ago, this time he finally You made a big fuss about your daughter’s death, but ended up tying yourself up. Instead, you wiped out your entire family, leaving no descendants—you told people to spread these words, right? Chu Xing, Chu Xing, you are too hypocritical .If you kill it, you kill it, and you still need to whitewash it, why bother? You have already won anyway, so do you care what other people say?"

Chu Xing said lightly: "I don't quite understand what Dr. Yan said."

Yan Yu sneered, and said, "I remember a saying called grass snake gray thread. Young Master Chu is so powerful, so can you tell me how long you have buried the thread in Liang's house?"

Chu Xing said, "I can't understand Dr. Yan's words again."

Yan Yu scoffed again, too lazy to start a conversation, and went directly to the second floor.

When Yan Yu was introduced into the bedroom by the butler, Poppy was hugging the little white cat and looking out the window in a daze.She was so engrossed in her thoughts that Yan Yu called out several times before she turned around and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

Yan Yu looked at her face, smiled and said, "Miss Poppy doesn't seem to be sleeping well recently?"

"I need some Valium."

Yan Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you want that thing for?"

"I can't sleep lately."

"why?"

This time Poppy didn't answer.Yan Yu knew it well, so she didn't ask any more questions, and just spread her hands: "I usually don't open that thing for people. Jing Jing pointed a gun at me and asked me to open it for her, but I didn't agree. If you really want it , let’s wait until a week later when you still can’t sleep.”

Poppy was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "The Liang family fell faster than I thought. At the most critical moment before Liang Tiancheng's death, he didn't seem to be paying much attention to this matter."

After Yan Yu heard this, there was still a smile on the corner of her lips: "So you think that you have been with Chu Xing for ten years, and when you thought you knew him deeply, he turned out to be far stronger than you imagined, right?"

Poppy's expression implied acquiescence, and Yan Yu asked again: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid that you will fail like Liang Tiancheng?"

"I don't care about success at all. I don't feel any fear." Poppy said slowly, "I just feel..."

"What do you think?"

He asked, Poppy frowned, but she didn't say anything.After a moment of silence, he asked: "The fact that Li Zhi died in the hospital, did the scene tell him to do it?"

"Miss Poppy changed the subject so untechnically, I am really dissatisfied." Yan Yu said leisurely, "Besides her, you can't find anyone else, right? Jing asked me to tell you, she She has already done all the things that need to be responsible, as well as the things you have entrusted to her these days."

"In addition, she also asked me to remind you," Yan Yu paused before continuing, "The arrow is on the string, so we have to fire. Soft-heartedness is a big taboo."

Poppy lowered her eyes and didn't answer for a while.Yan Yu looked at her, suddenly the corners of his lips twitched, and he asked softly, "Could it be that you've really softened your heart?"

After he finished asking, the room fell into silence.Poppy remained motionless, her gaze fell on the sock that she had half rubbed off.After a while, he replied in a low voice: "No."

When Chu Xing and Poppy went to City M together, the sky in City A was gloomy, and there was not even a ray of sunlight through it.

Chu Xing was very relaxed.He was dressed in white clothes and light trousers, and he could tell from his eyebrows that he was not in a bad mood at the moment and was in a lazy state.He held Poppy's hand loosely all the way from home to the plane.Poppy had been held by him for a long time, and he broke free once, and after a while, he was held by him again as if nothing had happened.

Lu Ming came to see them off in person, and politely wished them a happy journey and a safe journey when he watched them go through the security check, and there was nothing unusual in his expression.Poppy glanced at him, Lu Ming said, "Miss Poppy, do you have anything to say?"

"It's nothing." She said lightly, "I just hope you can live well in the next few days."

She replied absently, not knowing what she was talking about in her mind.I just felt my heart beating so hard that Chu Xing didn't even notice that he was leading her to board the plane.By the time he really reacted, the plane had already started taxiing on the runway and was preparing to take off.

Poppy has rarely been so nervous before, so nervous that she couldn't stop holding her hands, but her fingertips were still cold.The last time she was so nervous was when she killed someone for the first time. Looking at the still warm body on the ground, her mind went blank, and she was so nervous that she wanted to stuff her whole hand into her mouth.

However, that time her nervousness soon calmed down under Chu Xing's comfort.That time Chu Xing came quickly, hugged her on his lap to coax her, and told her that no matter what she did, she would not be the one who died.There is a bit of carelessness in his voice, but this casualness has a very calming effect.Poppy's shoulders soon stopped shaking, she raised her face to look at him, and asked, "Did you feel scared when you killed someone for the first time?"

He listened to her question, with a smile on his mouth, but he avoided answering. He only stroked her hair and said softly, "I'm different from you, Poppy. There are many things I can't do in this world. But these things I can't do You can do anything."

When Poppy got off the plane, the cold breath in her chest was already so cold that it was pressed to the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't lift it up or let it go.However, Chu Xing didn't seem to notice her absent-mindedness, and only took her to the hotel that had been booked. First, he soaked in the hot spring, and then had a sumptuous local dinner.

Poppy ate like chewing wax, and didn't say a word during the meal.She didn't say anything, and Chu Xing didn't speak either.He only peeled the shrimp shells for her, saw her take a few mouthfuls and refused to eat any more, and didn't force him, leaving most of the dishes untouched on the table, took her hand and went back to the room.

When Poppy came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Chu Xing was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and waiting for her.With two decks of poker in his hand, he waved at her: "Come and play blackjack. Three wins out of five."

Poppy's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the grandfather clock. There was still half an hour until twelve o'clock in the evening.She collected herself and asked, "Is there any bet?"

Chu Xing smiled a little: "Yes."

His smile was faint, like a thin layer of extremely calm water, unable to reveal the slightest wave below.Poppy glanced at him, then suddenly took the cards in silence and shuffled them skillfully.

Poppy knew a lot of tricks, but they were all taught by Chu Xing, and she was too lazy to go to the trouble of those tricks at the moment.But after a while Chu Xing took the cards she had shuffled and started to deal the cards.In the first round of Poppy's two cards, one is the eight of spades and the other is the four of squares. Chu Xing's open card is the king of spades.Chu Xing asked her: "Do you want to suspend trading?"

"Non-stop."

They played four games, each with two wins and two losses.At the beginning of the fifth round, Poppy's two cards are J of clubs and 2 of clubs, and Chu Xing's open card is J of diamonds.Chu Xing glanced at the poker cards in her hand and said, "Do you want to suspend the cards?"

Poppy glanced at the grandfather clock in the corner, it was 58:[-].Absently said: "Don't stop."

Chu Xing said slowly: "Poppy, think about it."

"No need."

He glanced at her, and slowly turned over the next card.

It was impressively printed with 10 of Hearts.

Poppy glanced at the cards, fell silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, "What's the bet?"

The moment her voice fell to the ground, she heard the grandfather clock on the side slowly crossing the hour in the morning, ringing the bell again and again.

Poppy was shocked suddenly, her whole body stiffened.She unconsciously opened her mouth slightly, but suddenly Chu Xing grabbed her wrist, and with a light tug, she was dragged into the arms of a faintly familiar breath.

Her eyes slowly focused on his face, Chu Xing's mouth was still smiling a little, his eyes were still deep and calm as before, but there was a strange softness in it.His thumb caressed the corners of her eyes, stroking slowly, his movements were as gentle as his voice: "Poppy, consider marrying me."

Poppy seemed to be frozen all over.She stared blankly at him for a long time without moving.

Chu Xing said again: "I'm serious."

Poppy was still staring at him.Her lips parted subconsciously, and it seemed that all her strength had been drained for a while before she realized that his person was real, and the voice just now was not a dream.She suddenly trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and said tremblingly, "I don't."

She struggled away in his arms until she retreated to the wall.Tears fell down her cheeks, but her back was straight, and she repeated loudly: "I don't!"

Chu Xing looked at her carefully and said, "Give me a reason."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the phone ringing frantically beside him.

He glanced at the incoming call and turned it on.Lu Ming's panicked voice came in immediately: "Master, the Chu residence is on fire! The whole house is on fire! The fire is going to be unstoppable with the east wind tonight!"

Halfway through his words, the phone was cut off by Chu Xing.Poppy said lightly from the side: "Why don't you listen?"

"If you keep listening, you will know that what he said is far from over. The day after tomorrow, you will know that most of your handicap in City A has been taken over by outsiders, and the southwest border you value most does not belong to you at all. And these two The largest order you have made in years, which is the shipment to the customs tonight, has been repacked, and the gunpowder and bullets have been thrown into the deep sea and cannot be found. You may remember that this order has been It was rejected by you, but it has indeed been completed." Poppy stood there, and continued to speak plainly, "I imitated your handwriting and signed it for you. Not only this order, but I can Everything I saw was signed for you."

"You asked me the reason." Tears flashed in her eyes, and she quickly suppressed them, and said coldly, "This is the reason."
