The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 329

Chapter 329

A week later, the two finally returned to City C.

During the few days on the island, Chu Xing always acted as if nothing happened.Poppy was cautious to the extreme at first, but then gradually became annoyed, and then became indifferent.Even if on the last day Chu Xing took her to go fishing along the same route as Li Youying before, and even the boat happened to be the same boat as before, Poppy's eyelids could not be moved again.

When Chu Xinghai was fishing, Poppy did not participate, but stood behind him with her hands down.Chu Xing focused on fishing and did not speak, and Poppy just stood there and did not speak.

It wasn't until it was time to return to the voyage that Chu Xing seemed to remember that there was still a person standing behind him.Turning around, he glanced at Poppy and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Poppy didn't move her eyebrows, and replied flatly: "I'm thinking about when I can go back to City C to drink fish porridge."

Chu Xing pointed to the freshly caught sea fish in the small bucket beside him, and asked her, "Can't I use this to make fish porridge?"

Poppy only glanced over, then looked at the sea water again, her attitude of not wanting to say a word was very obvious.The hem of Chu Xing's clothes was blown up by the sea breeze. He leaned on the railing and stared at her, waiting for her to speak without speaking.The two were silent for a moment, Poppy lowered her eyes, turned around, and walked into the cabin without looking back.

After returning from fishing in the sea, the two never had any conversations.Until he returned to City C, Chu Xing remained calm and silent.Poppy's attitude is almost the same as his, as long as she is the only one within a kilometer radius, even if she sits next to Chu Xing in the car returning to Chu's house from the airport, Poppy's expression remains the same, as if there are still life around her Generally ignored.

When the car slowly drove into the interior, there was already a housekeeper waiting outside.After the two got out of the car, Poppy dragged her luggage and walked out. The butler's hoarse voice sounded behind her: "Where is Miss Poppy going?"

Poppy stopped in her tracks, turned her head, glanced at the past condescendingly, and said in a cold and haughty voice: "I'm just a housekeeper, what qualifications do you have to ask me?"

When the housekeeper spoke to Poppy before, even if Poppy spoke coldly, it was not as bitter as it is today.The housekeeper glanced at her face, then at Chu Xing's face, pondered for a moment, and still bowed, speaking neither humble nor overbearing: "A few days ago, on Miss Poppy's birthday in the Gregorian calendar, you went to the island without saying hello. Go out and play. Today is your birthday in the lunar calendar, you might as well have a celebration at night and make up for your birthday."

Just as he finished speaking, Poppy was already dragging her luggage and heading towards the heavy direction, her voice was extremely impatient: "I'm not interested."

When Poppy returned to her residence, the first thing she did was to call Jiang Mian.

When she dialed the phone, she had already had countless thoughts in her mind, and when she connected, she went straight to the topic without any greetings.However, when she heard Jiang Mian's hesitant voice over there, Poppy still couldn't stop her heart from sinking.

"Li Youying, he came back this time... his leg was broken. But other things are fine. He came to City C today, and now he is opposite me, and my brother, the three of us are having afternoon tea. You have to talk to him speak?"

Poppy pursed her lips tightly, and the person answering the phone over there had been replaced by Li Youying's steady voice: "A Pu?"

She was silent for a long while before asking in a low voice, "Do you still remember who broke your leg?"

Li Youying paused for a moment, then said, "They never spoke a word from the beginning to the end."

According to what Li Youying said, he had bought ice cream for her, and on the way back, he was beaten in the back of the head and passed out.It seemed that he was drugged again later, and he was in a coma all the time, and it took him an unknown amount of time to wake up.As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he was already at the airport, accompanied by three bodyguards in plain clothes.

Poppy lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "And then?"

Li Youying paused before continuing, with a helpless voice: "My phone is missing, and those three people just pushed me to the plane without saying a word. When I got back to City C and left the airport, I drove all the way." The car took me to an old warehouse."

Li Youying was silent for a while, and tried to be more relaxed when she spoke again: "I thought that this kind of thing would always put a blindfold on me or something, but they didn't do that, and they didn't even say a word, just directly Push me into the warehouse and let me look at my leg and watch them lift up the hammer and pretty much break the lower leg."

After he finished speaking, Poppy didn't speak for a long time.

There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone, Li Youying waited for a while, seeing that Poppy still didn't speak, she paused and smiled softly.

He spoke here, and comforted her in turn, with an understatement: "When I went to see the doctor, the doctor said that I was very lucky. As long as I rest for a while, it is not impossible to recover to the original state. You see, it is actually nothing Something, isn't it? Don't think too much, isn't today your birthday? Do you have time to come to Jiang's house now, and let's cut cakes and eat together at night, okay? "

Poppy bit her lips tightly, pressed her ear to the phone, listening to Li Youying's calm and gentle tone.After a while, he nodded his head here and whispered, "I'll go over now."

After Poppy drove away from Chu's house, she saw a black car following from a distance in the rearview mirror, keeping it within a short distance.

It was not the first time she was being followed like this.When she agreed to Cao Yangdong's request to go to the banquet, Poppy only got rid of it after driving the car several times in the streets and alleys.In the past, Poppy could still hold back her temper and go around these people in circles, but today, Poppy has already started to get annoyed after only going around one street.

She slowed down the speed of the car, and then drove the car into the narrowest alley. After turning left and right twice, she suddenly made a [-]-degree turn, and then disappeared from the eyes of the bodyguards who followed closely behind.

While the two bodyguards were dumbfounded, they complained endlessly in their hearts.

Tracking Miss Poppy's car is not a good job. It can even be said that ninety-nine out of ten people who get involved with Poppy are thankless tasks.This is the perception shared by those who have served as guards in the Chu family for a long time.When the brakes of Poppy's car failed, Lu Ming later found out the two people who were following Poppy and scolded them in front of everyone, and then they were packed and sent to the southwest border to work that day.The entire Chu family knew that these two people had not called back a single call so far, and they no longer knew whether they were alive or dead.

While praying to God, the two bodyguards clumsily drove the car into the alley in resignation.It was noon in autumn, and the alley with moss and broken tiles was quiet. When the car drove past, there was the rustling sound of bricks on the ground.The two drove the car to the corner where Poppy turned, and suddenly heard a car start on the right.

Both of them turned their eyes to look, and only had time to realize that Poppy's purple sports car was speeding up and driving towards this side, and the next moment they felt a whirl of vomiting.

There was a sudden "bang" in the lonely alley, and a huge dent was knocked out of the right side of a black car.

Poppy's front was also knocked flat.She didn't seem to see it at all.Pushing open the door, he stepped out of the car and walked towards the black car.

When the two bodyguards managed to recover from the violent collision, they saw Poppy standing outside the car in a red windbreaker, with a slender figure, raised eyes, cold and sharp eyes, looking at them, and looking at them. It's no different from ants.

Poppy said coldly: "Chu Xing sent you to follow me?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and one of them bit the bullet and replied in a low voice: "Miss Poppy, I'm sorry, please forgive me. As subordinates, we have no choice but to follow the orders given by the superiors."

"That is to say, you will follow anyway."

When the other party shut up and didn't answer, Poppy sneered, her gaze suddenly sharp as a blade, almost cutting off a layer of their skin alive.

When she spoke again, Poppy's voice was full of coldness and sternness: "Okay. Then remember me, too. Today is the first time that I didn't kill you directly. I was merciful. I will find you people following me next time." , don't blame me for turning my face and denying people. If you don't want to die, you can just follow in the future. If I let one of you go back alive and report to Chu Xing, I will let myself die. If you don't believe it, you can try try."

The bodyguard's pupils widened slightly, and he was completely speechless.Poppy stared at them, and said coldly: "You guys just tell Chu Xing what you said when you go back. If he sends someone to follow me again, I'll have to wait and see whether you guys accept the order or die. "

Poppy drove to Jiang's house in a car that had been hit and flattened by the hood of the front car, and attracted everyone's attention along the way.When they arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Mian who came out to greet him was also taken aback: "What's going on? Did the car crash? How is he?"

"fine."

She pulled Poppy closer to her body for a closer look, and confirmed again: "Is it really all right?"

Poppy lowered her eyelids slightly, and her tone became more gentle when she spoke again: "It's really all right, sister."

Li Youying also came out of the living room. He was leaning on a cane, and his movements were somewhat inconvenient. Seeing Poppy cast her gaze on his lap, she waved her hand and smiled at her.

Li Youying waited for her to come over, comforted her and said, "The doctor said it will be all right in half a month."

Poppy whispered, "How could it be so fast."

Li Youying smiled, and changed the subject: "I heard that you like to eat the food in the Luoding Guild Hall the most. Jiang Mian has already booked the place, shall we go there now?"

Poppy liked the dishes in the Luoding Guild Hall since she was a child. Every year for her birthday, she would always come to this place.Every year in the past, Chu Xing reserved the place for her to have fun.After listening to Li Youying's words, Poppy pursed her lips and said, "...It's just a birthday, nothing worth fanfare."

Li Youying said softly: "Birthdays are only once a year, and once a year is missed, it's not wasted if you have a good time, right?"

In the end, the Jiang family siblings, Li Youying and Poppy went to the Luoding Guild Hall together.

When getting out of the car, Li Youying staggered because of her legs and feet, but fortunately, Poppy held her steady.Li Youying looked at her hand holding his arm, smiled again, and said with a hint of a joke: "How about Miss Su Pu help me in, okay?"

When Jiang Mian saw it, she tilted her head slightly, and smiled this way: "A Pu, I can help you."

"..."

Poppy glanced at the gate of the guild hall, and probably had the idea of ​​rushing into it immediately.After standing there with a dumb expression for a while, he mechanically raised his arm to support Li Youying.

As soon as a few people stepped into the clubhouse, the person in charge of the club trotted over, wiping the sweat from his forehead, bowed first, and then said with a smile on his face: "Miss Jiang, I'm really sorry. Did you hang up the reservation call just now?" After a while, someone suddenly called. Now the guild hall has been reserved for someone, and there is no way to enter. And you see that this person is walking out, and even those who are already in the guild hall will be invited out, so... "

Jiang Mian was taken aback, and said, "Who has booked the venue?"

The other party was about to speak, when he glanced behind Jiang Mian, his face suddenly changed, his smile became wider, he turned his feet, walked around them quickly, and shouted loudly: "Master Chu! The place is almost cleared up." Alright! Go inside, please!"

When Poppy heard this, the hand holding Li Youying's forearm tightened slightly, and she turned her head slowly.
