Chu Xing said "um", and said, "Just say that I have eaten. Let her go back."
The maid went away.Chu Xing was fiddling with a small white spoon, and when he turned his head, he happened to see the ruthless expression on Poppy's face that had not completely faded.
The spoon in Chu Xing's hand fell into the coffee, and after a slight "ding", Poppy had returned to her indifferent appearance.Chu Xing squinted at her, and smiled rather than a smile: "What crooked thoughts are going on in your mind?"
Poppy's eyes were as clear as water, and her face was innocent: "You read it wrong, I'm not thinking about anything."
"Ah Liang treated you that way before, did you feel wronged?"
"No."
Chu Xing laughed, obviously distrusting every word she said: "I really never thought of killing A Liang like I killed Li Zhi before?"
Poppy's face straightened, and she said solemnly: "Poppy absolutely dare not think like that."
She spoke very high-sounding, but Chu Xing still had a noncommittal attitude, and obviously no longer had any hope for her guarantee.He slowly stirred the glass of cool blue mountain, and after a while he spoke, his tone was flat and implied majesty: "Don't let me see that you have any more messy thoughts."
Poppy responded with a very cute attitude.Chu Xing glanced at her, probably feeling that she hadn’t seen her like this for a long time, so he stretched out his finger, pinched her chin with great interest, and said with a smile: "What soup did the Jiang family give you, how did you come back this time?" It seems that something has really changed?"
"If you like it, that's fine."
When Poppy said this, she raised her face and looked at him with natural eyebrows and eyes, and her appearance was full of cuteness and cuteness.Ever since she became an adult, she has always spoken harshly and mercilessly, and she rarely shows this appearance.Chu Xing clearly knew that what Poppy said at this moment was just another kind of flattery, and he only used his brain but not his heart, but Poppy made such a docile and well-behaved look under his nose, which still prevented him from really getting angry. .
He looked down at her, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, with unknown meaning, and then pinched a small light purple flower from the vase on the table, and pinned it to the poppy white dress.
"I shouldn't have named you Poppy just because of your temperament."
When Poppy first came to the Chu family and changed her name according to the usual practice, most of the traditional Chinese medicine names chosen by others were Lianqiao Danruo Changsi, but she refused to look through the list and pointed to a painting on the wall with The ink painting of gorgeous flowers with red petals and yellow pistils raised his chin and said firmly, "What is this? It's so beautiful, I'll take this."
At that time, the remaining few girls all turned their eyes to look at her, and even Chu Xing was slightly surprised.The butler at the side bowed and interjected, "This flower is called poppy, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It's just that opium in the past and heroin in the present are all extracted from this flower. Poppy is beautiful, but its sex is poisonous. It's not auspicious to use it as a person's name, so it's better to change it."
After Poppy heard this, her expression was obviously dissatisfied, but she didn't say it outright.Sitting on the main seat, Chu Xing clearly saw her eyes roll twice, then turned around and went to the table, flicked through the list of traditional Chinese medicines, and finally said: "All the good ones on it have been taken away, then I will call The minced meat is mended."
The housekeeper said: "This name is not suitable for a girl, let's change it."
"Then loofah shell, Niu Dali, monk head, Ye Zhangren? Or Long live, five claws, soil turtle, pangolin or something? I think these names are all right. Can the housekeeper help me choose one? I will listen to the housekeeper. .”
housekeeper:"……"
Poppy was standing there with childish and provocative eyes.Seeing the other party's troubles, even the corners of his eyes showed a little pride.Chu Xing saw all her actions, and felt that this Su Pu was really different from other children, and he didn't feel disobedient. He just thought it was fun, so he deliberately picked her up and said: "Of the few, only Niu Dali listens the most. It fits. Just take this."
Not surprisingly, I saw Poppy's face collapse instantly.His eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed, and he stood there with a pitiful look of wanting to repent but dared not.Chu Xing only thought it was funny, so he called her to his side, hugged her into his arms, nodded his nose, and asked with a smile, "Is Niu Dali nice?"
Poppy just shook her head hastily, and he asked again: "Do you know what's wrong?"
Poppy nodded again hastily.Chu Xing took the roster over, put his arm around her and turned the pages of the book with the other. After a while, he pointed to the word "Amber" and said, "How about taking this?"
Poppy took a look, with reluctance evident on her face.Chu Xing lowered his face on purpose. Poppy saw it and flinched a bit, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said in a low voice without fear of death: "Amber is just a broken stone, but I just like poppy. Can I really be called Poppy? ?”
When she said this, her tone was soft and soft, and she was a little naive. When she looked up at him, her black and white eyes were full of pleading.Chu Xing was about to refuse, but after seeing her appearance, he paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Must it be Poppy? It can't be changed in the future."
Seeing Poppy nodded again in a pile, Chu Xing patted her on the back lightly, and said with a slight smile: "Then listen to you once."
Later, when Chu Xing took Poppy to a master's door to touch the bones for fortune-telling, the other party also suggested changing the name of Poppy, saying that life is poor and there is no blessing to bear it. Hearing this, he immediately changed his face and walked away on the spot.
Poppy was already very concerned about other people's comments, and it would be even more unpleasant if someone talked about her name.Once when Chu Xing took her to an auction dinner party, the big boss he met just casually said "a person is as beautiful as his name is, but also poisonous". One of the most beloved mistresses died in a car accident along with the child in her womb.Everyone thought it was the work of her principal wife, only Chu Xing suddenly asked her one day: "Did you tell his wife this?"
Poppy didn't move her eyebrows, she lowered her hands and answered, "Poppy doesn't understand what you're referring to."
When she said that, Chu Xing just snorted coldly and didn't pursue it further.But later, I don’t know who made a mistake. Everyone on the road knew that poppy indirectly killed two people because of a joke. Afterwards, most of them kept it at a respectful distance, while the people above held the mentality that seeing is believing, and most of them had some ambiguous playful meaning.
It's just that the fun in the bottom of my heart is fun, and everyone knows that there is a Chu family behind Poppy.Therefore, looking at these years from a distance, only Cui Zhixin dared to blatantly tease him.When the news that Poppy was expelled from the Chu family came out, there were a few people like Cao Yangdong who were eager to move out of the mentality that the Chu family would not control the Jiang family. After various executions, Poppy was somehow recalled to the Chu family.
On the first day Poppy returned to Chu's house, she didn't do anything, but stayed by Chu Xing's side.After breakfast, Chu Xing asked her casually if she wanted to go back to Jiang's house. Poppy took a cup of tea from the tray in the housekeeper's hand, then held it to Chu Xing's hand with both hands, and replied lightly: "There is nothing to go back. Just for a while I probably need to call Jiang Mian and tell her that I haven't returned all night, so she should be worried."
Chu Xing glanced at her, took the teacup and said, "Since you don't want to go back now, you can go back when you want to go back."
Poppy raised her head and said softly, "I'll stay with you at Chu's house and never go back to Jiang's house, can't I? Or do you like Ah Liang more now and think I'm an eyesore?"
Poppy rarely took the initiative to speak so softly, Chu Xing stopped sipping tea and looked over.Poppy's two eyeballs are always black and bright, and seem to be moist with water. At this moment, she is looking at him intently from the bottom up. With only a slight movement of the eyeballs, there is a bit of resentment and pity seeping out.
Chu Xing knew that she was full of lies and could not be taken as the truth, after being looked at like this for a while, he still bought it in the end.He pulled her onto his lap, stroked her back, and his tone softened accordingly: "Nonsense. What was yours before is still yours now. Is this okay?"
After saying this, Lu Ming and Li Zhi were quickly called.Poppy used to be in charge of internal affairs, but was later taken over by Chu Xing to Li Zhi, and now when he came back, Li Zhi's complexion couldn't be called pretty.Poppy stood behind Chu Xing, watched coldly for a while, and then said softly: "How about I don't want it now. Since you have already given it to Sister Li Zhi, and now you want to take it back, Sister Li Zhi will be very embarrassed. Don't you see her face now, you are about to cry."
Li Zhi was so annoyed by her description that she wished for a steel knife from the sky to cut Poppy into pieces.But there was still a generous smile on his face, but the smile was quite stiff, Chu Xing looked at Li Zhi, and commented: "I'm really going to cry."
Poppy said: "I told you, you still don't believe me."
Chu Xing teased her: "At that time, your power was taken away, you didn't even laugh, and you still cried a lot in front of me, and you almost rolled around. What kind of posture do you use to make fun of Lizhi now?"
"I didn't make fun of it. I was just discussing the matter seriously." Poppy didn't lift her eyelids, as if she was really serious and serious, generous and caring, "Since Sister Li Zhi doesn't want to delegate power, and she's done it well, let me let it go." She continues to take care of it. I have no objection."
Chu Xing looked at her with a half-smile, and said after a while: "That's it? Is there anything else to say after that?"
Poppy's heart skipped a beat, and she continued as if nothing had happened: "What do I have to say? It's you who should follow my words. Since you have promised to find me something to do, Sister Li Zhi doesn't care about internal affairs. If you are willing to transfer power to me, then you can find something else to do for me."
"Did Li Zhi say that he refused to transfer power? You are the one who is making trouble here." Chu Xing squinted at her, "Tell me, what are you playing tricks on?"
"..." Poppy opened her mouth when she saw that her tricks were exposed so quickly on the spot. She wanted to hide it but couldn't hide it, so she could only forcefully say, "If you roughly divide the affairs of the Chu family into two parts, it's just sister Li Zhi, Mr. Lu. Do you want a piece of help?"
Chu Xing understood all of a sudden, and the smile on his face deepened, but he deliberately pretended not to understand, and teased her: "It's not that there are internal staff. That piece doesn't belong to Lu Ming and Li Zhi, it belongs to the housekeeper. How about I transfer you over there to clean up every day?"
"..." Poppy said calmly, "I have no objection. You can figure it out."
Chu Xing said: "Then it's settled. You will go to the housekeeper in a while. It seems that a maid came home from leave yesterday, and you just happened to take her place."
Poppy finally raised her head, looked into his eyes pleading and complaining: "Are you really willing? Don't do this."
Chu Xing laughed twice, and in front of Lu Ming and Li Zhi, patted Poppy's back lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Dare you give me a try in the future?"
In the end, Poppy was sent by Chu Xing to work with Lu Mingxue as she wished.After they came out of the study room, Li Zhi and Poppy hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they still didn't bother to say a word of politeness, and walked away without even looking at them. Sister Zhi, go slowly."
Without turning back from the branch, Lu Ming stood aside and watched Poppy's hypocritical posture, only feeling a toothache.
He has been wise and safe these years, and his consistent principle is to stay away from right and wrong.A dangerous person like Poppy would never take the initiative to get close unless necessary.As a result, today he was very unlucky to pick up such a hot potato, and thinking of the words Poppy threw to him when he got off the car last night, Lu Ming felt that his future was about to be uncertain, and his life and death were unknown.
Poppy turned around and looked at Lu Mingshi with that graceful and beautiful look: "From tomorrow on, Poppy will rely on your guidance."
Lu Ming took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then laughed and said, "...It's easy to say."
Poppy said sincerely again: "Why are you so nervous? I will follow you well."
Lu Ming choked, and said repeatedly: "...I know, I know."
Lu Ming didn't believe her nonsense at all in his heart.Poppy insisted on following him to do things. To say that he had no evil intentions would be as incredible as the sun rising from the west.There is only one thing that Lu Ming doesn't understand, he can see Poppy's idea, so he can't hide it from the young master, but somehow the young master still indulges her.
Lu Ming remembered that after Poppy was deprived of power more than half a year ago, the young master accidentally said a few more words to him during a game, about Poppy: "A child like Poppy, you put her in a cage, she She will pretend to be very cute and pitiful, which makes you feel unbearable. But if you don’t put her in a cage, she will turn upside down and make you feel uncomfortable. After so many years of raising her, I finally raised a white-eyed wolf , who would be happy? It’s better to just lock it up like this.”
When Chu Xing said this, he was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see his eyes clearly.However, Lu Ming has been with him for so many years, and he can figure out his attitude just by listening to his tone.Chu Xing said it plainly, but it meant that the dust had settled. It was obviously a decision made after careful consideration.Lu Ming was listening on the sidelines at the time, and only felt that the so-called "shut down" meant that he would fold his wings and shut down forever. In this life, Poppy would probably only be able to serve Chu Xing forever, and there was no possibility of turning over.
But he didn't expect that within half a year, Poppy would come back again, and his acting status was even more impressive than before.Although the affairs of the Chu family are now divided into two and shared by him and Li Zhi, everyone knows that Li Zhi does less than one-tenth of the affairs that Lu Ming handles every day, not to mention all the secrets. He will hand it over to Chu Xing.Now that Poppy came to "study" with him, the young master didn't say whether he should cover it up or not. Lu Ming stood there, looking at Poppy's exquisite and beautiful face with delicate features, as if smiling sweetly, and suddenly felt more than a toothache , Even the brain began to throb with pain.
