Heart Hunting

Chapter 95

Another round starts, the ladies all brace themselves up, for they don’t dare to underestimate Poppy

any more. At this time, another lady comes in from outside.

“Hey, you are here playing mahjong!” It is Mrs. Hughes.

Poppy look at Mrs. Hughes with a meaningful eye. But it’s not the suitable time for her to say anything,

she keeps quiet and goes on playing the cards.

Mrs. Hughes comes up and looks at Poppy and Mrs. Murphy beside her. She snorts, “Mrs. Murphy, is

this girl the savior you’ve got?”

Mrs. Murphy smiles, "Poppy is afraid that I am bored, so she comes here with me just for fun."

Mrs. Turner hums, just for fun? I lost 50 thousand because of her!

She can’t beats Poppy in mahjong, but it doesn’t mean that she can’t beats her in talking, either. Mrs.

Turner joins their conversation, “Mrs. Murphy, don’t say that I didn’t remind you. You must still

remember Ethel, be careful of this girl.”

Mrs. Perry follows, “I heard that plastic surgery is very popular now. Many girls’ faces...”

Poppy cuts her calmly, “oops, I’m sorry, Mrs. Morris. I win again...”

Mrs. Morris gets a little mad, how bad it is today!

Mrs. Turner takes pleasure in Mrs. Morris misfortune. “Mrs. Morris, you have to get used to it.”

Poppy responds in a wired tone, “yeah, you’re right. Plastic surgeries are quite popular now. Look at

face, I’m really not satisfied with it. Thanks to you, ladies, I can use the money I win today to adjust my

eyes. It’d be better if I can win more to get my nose done!”

There seem to be a strong smell of gunpowder in the air. Even a fool can figure out that there must be

some conflict between Poppy and Mrs. Hughes. Mrs. Morris deliberately stretches out and rubs her NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

eyes. “Well, Mrs. Hughes, are you in? I’m tired, I’ll have a rest.”

Mrs. Turner is happy to hear that. She immediately waves to Mrs. Hughes, “come on!”

Mrs. Perry got it right away, she also follows, “yeah, you like playing mahjong, don’t you? Come on!

Let’s have fun.”

Mrs. Hughes knows what their intention is, she accepts their invitation.

After another round begins, the three ladies constantly give each other some hint by eye contact. They

do it so obviously that even Mrs. Murphy can see through. But Poppy isn’t nervous at all. Anyway, she

is so lucky today. Even they unite together, they can’t stop her from winning money.

“Got you!” Poppy is the winner of this round again! Mrs. Murphy sits beside eating melon seed, looking

very relaxed.

“Mrs. Murphy, please help me collect the money.” Says Poppy.

Mrs. Murphy is never as happy as now when receiving money. She says with pleasure, “sure, I’ll

handle it. Don’t worry.”

Looking at the money being put into Mrs. Murphy’s bag, Mrs. Hughes is so jealous that even her eyes

turn red. How she wishes that money is hers!

The rest ladies continues to “help” Mrs. Hughes, but Poppy pretends not to see that. She goes on

winning.

Round after another round, Mrs. Turner keeps losing. The money that her driver sent has been ran out

again. She says with frustration, “I’m too tired. I quit!”

“It has been three hours, my eyes are uncomfortable!”

“I’m not lucky today, I quit, too!”

The ladies don’t dare to continue to play mahjong with Poppy, they all make some excuse to quit.

“Are you really uncomfortable? Or is it just because that you can’t afford to lose? Come on, it’s just

thousands of money! Oh my god, never ask Mrs. Murphy to play mahjong again, please.” Poppy says

on purpose.

Mrs. Murphy follows, “seems that the economic situation of your families is not so good, right? You

can’t even afford to lose when playing mahjong.”

“Mrs. Murphy, their families just run some small businesses, you’re not supposed to play mahjong with

them...”

Mrs. Turner feels shameful. Who says that she can’t afford to lose? “Go on! I’m not tired now!”

“So am I! I won’t leave until I win the money back!”

...

The three face-loving ladies gets so angry with Poppy that they decide to continue.

However, after several rounds, they lose all of their cash. “Mrs. Turner, are you going to let the driver

go back to get the money, or are you going to pay off the debt with that diamond ring on your hand?”

Says Poppy.

Surely Mrs. Turner won’t choose the fist choice. If her husband knows that, it would be her disaster!

Poppy looks at Mrs. Turner with satisfying. Mrs. Turner takes off the ring with anger, “here you go!”

Poppy picks up the ring and looks carefully at it. “Though the quality of the diamond is not so good, it’s

enough to pay off your debt.” Then she looks at the other women, “and what about you, Mrs. Hughes

and Mrs. Perry?”

Both of them also have lost all of their cash to her. They take a look at each other. They don’t want to

be forced like Mrs. Turner. So they also take off the jewelries on their bodies to pay off their debts.

Mrs. Morris looks at them beside, and she is glad that she quit just now. She can’t help asking Mrs.

Murphy, “Mrs. Murphy, who’s this girl? She’s so good at it.”

Mrs. Murphy is so proud to answer her, “Poppy studied abroad and just came back recently. Now she is

a lawyer! She’s really clever!”

Mrs. Morris is a little surprised. She’s a lawyer? No wonder she is so capable!

Poppy finally gets all their jewelries. Mrs. Turner is so frustrated. After giving Poppy her earrings, she

says, “I have nothing to lose. I quit. I’m going home.”

Mrs. Perry also takes off the pearl necklace to Poppy and says, “so do I.”

…

Poppy holds the jewelries, and says to Mrs. Murphy, “are you hungry?”

“Yeah, a little bit. Now that you have nothing to lose, then that’s it for today!” She says to those ladies.

Poppy takes a careful look at the pearl necklace and sighs, “Mrs. Murphy, look at the pearl, it looks not

so good. I don’t know whether it is fake.”

Mrs. Perry is mad. “You little girl, don’t go too far in bullying others!”

“Well, then thank you for your money, it should be enough for me to do a plastic surgery.”

Poppy is not polite to them.

Mrs. Perry wants to say something, but was stopped by Mrs. Turner. If she continue to dispute with

Poppy, the only one who suffer would only be her.

Mrs. Murphy and Poppy pack up and leave happily. After walking out of the room, Mrs. Murphy laughs,

“Poppy, why did you play so well, I really thought you can’t play mahjong at the beginning!”

“I’m just lucky today.” Poppy is modest.

“It’s not possible by only good luck. I should take you with me next time when I go to play mahjong.”

“Sure, as long as I’m available.” Poppy replies. It’s good to earn money, and it’s also good to help Mrs.

Murphy.

“They always laugh at me that I would only lose money. Today is a good day!” Mrs. Murphy is quite

happy. This is the best time in her life to play mahjong.

“If it wasn’t for the thinking that we’re all women, I would have left them with only pants!” Poppy smiles.

Those ladies would bully Mrs. Murphy only because she is kind.

They go back to their car, and Mrs. Murphy says to the driver happily, “to the Prince Square.”

“Mrs. Murphy, aren’t we going home?” Why are they going to the shopping center?

“We’ve won so much money! Surely we should go shopping!” Mrs. Murphy wants to spend the money

they win today.

Poppy has no objection. Anyway this kind of money shouldn’t be kept for long.
