Chapter 278: Poplar Spits the Truth After Being Drunk
I looked into his eyes in a daze, there were a lot of feelings in them that I couldn't even read, and there seemed to be a trace of guilt in them...... Distressed.
Although I have always known that Yang Shu is an upright, kind, infatuated and warm-hearted man, how could his infatuation and warmth ever give me? Heh, he feels sorry for me, but he just feels guilty.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but lower my head, knowing that self-pity was useless, I quickly adjusted my emotions and re-faced Yang Shu's affectionate apology for Lin Momo for hurting me.
"This is in the past, and you can't be blamed, if she wants to kill me, you can't stop it. "In the face of Poplar's self-blame, I can only comfort him first.
Indeed, if Lin Momo wants to kill me, no one can stop me, maybe I was too lucky last time, because I had Shen Xuanhan by my side, if there is a next time, I can't guarantee that I will be so lucky.
"It's because I'm so incompetent, I didn't stop her, I didn't protect you, and last time, I heard that Shen Xuanhan was seriously injured, and it was also Lin Momo's instigation?"
"Last time, she wanted to kidnap me, but Shen Xuanhan disrupted her plan and finally injured Shen Xuanhan, but Lin Momo said that she didn't order me like this, so Shen Xuanhan and I both suspected that the real mastermind was someone else. Before I knew it, the topic diverged.
"Then have you investigated who it is, is that person coming for you or Shen Xuanhan?" said Yang Shu, grabbing my arms, and his expression became serious.
"Uh...... I don't know about this matter, but Shen Xuanhan said that he would investigate, so let me not worry about it. The poplar's sudden movements startled me a little, and I couldn't help but stutter in the tone of my voice.
"That's good, Shen Xuanhan will investigate clearly, he won't let a person who threatens his life stay in the shadows, and he may kill him at any time. When Yang Shu heard that Shen Xuanhan would investigate in person, he also began to relax, grabbed my hand and sent it away, and the whole person collapsed on the seat.
I almost forgot that the man in front of me was still drunk, yes, how could he talk to me so much in normal times, today he is extraordinarily sincere, at least let me clearly understand that he is worried about me.
I sat next to him and watched him quietly, only to see him holding his forehead with one hand, his brows furrowed together, as if he was not feeling well.
"What's wrong, is there anything uncomfortable?" I asked worriedly.
"It's okay, just a little dizzy, maybe the wine is coming up, open the window a little wider, I'll just rest for a while." Poplar said.
"Oh, good. Hearing Poplar say this, I quickly opened the windows on the left and right.
Seeing that his symptoms had not been alleviated, his brows were still wrinkled, and he no longer had the high-spirited and suave appearance of the past, but was replaced by the appearance of a depressed man.
Seeing him so uncomfortable, I couldn't help beside me, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Master, please drive faster. "I was at a loss, so I could only urge the driver to drive faster, get home earlier, and the poplar tree would be able to rest earlier, maybe it would be more comfortable.
"Miss, you don't understand, drunk people can't take the fast train, it's easy to vomit, I'll try my best, you look at him, oh, if he wants to vomit, I'll stop and let him get out of the car to vomit, don't make my car dirty." "The driver is a middle-aged man who speaks with a Shanghai accent, and you know that he is a local when you hear it.
It is said that men in Shanghai take care of their families, in my opinion, it is a bit of a mother-in-law, right, although I am very grateful to him for telling me that Yang Shu can not take the fast train, but the words he said later made me a little unhappy, the guests are already uncomfortable like this, he is also worried about whether his car will be dirty, besides, even if he is dirty, I will pay for him to wash the car, actually said such ruthless words.
"I'm fine, it's okay. Just when I didn't know how to go back, the uncomfortable poplar spoke.
"Hmm. "Although I didn't quarrel with him, I was really upset, for the sake of Poplar's face, I didn't bother to bother with him, and I didn't want Poplar to appease me again.
There was silence in the car, no one spoke, only the sound of the evening breeze howling outside the window.
After about ten minutes, the car finally stopped at the door of Yangshu's house, and I settled the bill and helped him get out of the car.
The poplar tree was a little floating in his feet, and although his mind was very clear, his body seemed to have been anesthetized by alcohol.
I helped him all the way into his house, and there was no change here as before, maybe the only thing that changed was my state of mind.
I remember the first time I came to Yang Shu's house, I was the same as Liu Xixi when I first went to Shen Xuanhan's house, I touched everywhere, as if I had never seen the world, but at that time, I really didn't seem to have seen anything in the world.
That time I accepted Shen Xuanhan's task and came to Yang Shu's house to participate in a wealthy cocktail party, I still remember that my identity is a doctor of psychology who has just returned from studying abroad, and I myself have a name called Ouyang Lanlan, which is quite funny when I think about it now.
Looking at the natural and magnificent villa in front of me, I only have indescribable sadness in my heart, this is the place where I met Yang Shu for the first time, and it is also the place where my unrequited love career began in more than ten years.
"Ahem. "After a long pause in front of the door, Poplar coughed and reminded me that I should go in.
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about things too much. "I'm a little embarrassed to stand in the doorway for so long.
Walking into the villa, unlike the slightly cold and dark night outside, the lights were everywhere inside, I helped him straight to the living room, and the strange thing was that I didn't meet anyone along the way.
In such a large villa, there should be no shortage of housekeepers and security servants in it, how can there be no one.
I helped the poplar tree to sit down on the sofa and consciously poured him a glass of water, and at this time the poplar finally relaxed, without the previous fatigue and vigilance.
"Why isn't there anyone here?" I sat down on the couch next to me and asked Poplar in confusion.
"During the time you left Shanghai, a lot happened, my stepmother coveted the Yang family's property and tried to get rid of me by all means, and just some time ago, I was almost poisoned by the maid she bought. Poplar took a sip of water and explained to me lightly.
"Why is she so vicious! Can she be so unscrupulous for money, this kind of person is really outrageous, mad, what happened to you later, is there anything wrong?" I can't help but feel that the wicked people in this world are really hateful.
"Hehe, if I really have something, you can't see me now, how can you still sit here and talk to me. Poplar quipped.
"Um, hehe, look at my head, it's not very easy to use. "I was also impressed by myself, and I actually asked such a mentally retarded question, but it was also because I was too worried about poplars.
I can't help but feel a little emotional, fate really likes to play tricks on people, born in a rich family, don't look at the surface glamorous, but behind it has to bear a lot of pressure and expectations that ordinary people can't imagine.
Children of ordinary people, I don't know how long I have to struggle in my life to catch up with the starting point of those people, just like me, no matter how hard I struggle, it is impossible to stand on the same level as the poplar.
"You've driven away all the servants in the house since then?" No, it's not like Poplar's style.
"It's not me who drove them away, it's them who want to leave. Yang Shu held his forehead and said helplessly.
"Huh?" "No, how can anyone take the initiative to resign if they don't want such a good job."
"That poisoning, although I was not injured, but it caused a maid to have a stroke and paralysis, that bowl of porridge tailored for me was secretly tasted by her, she foamed at the mouth on the spot, frightened all the people in the family, and then sent directly to the hospital, a day later was found to be accidentally ingested highly toxic food, fortunately sent in time, otherwise it may be dead, I didn't want to hide this matter from anyone in the family, so after they heard about it, they felt that the home was not safe, and they could die at any time, most of them were unwilling to be here, please resign and go homeγ There were one or two uncles and aunts who had been here for many years who wanted to stay, and I couldn't guarantee that something like this wouldn't happen, so I didn't let them stay. β
Yang Shu said, his expression did not change at all, how much he must not take his life seriously to be so calm. After all, the mastermind behind that incident didn't need to think about it to know that it was aimed at him, and he didn't make any counterattack afterwards, as if he was showing weakness to the other party.
"Then did you investigate this matter later, and didn't want to catch the real culprit and teach her some lessons?" I asked with some reluctance.
"No, the discerning person knows at a glance that my stepmother is responsible for this, I don't know if she bought off the maid or did it herself, I have no proof, and I don't want to fight with her. β
"Then will you just let her go? She doesn't take other people's lives seriously, this kind of person should be punished by the law, instead of letting her go unpunished like now, and even if you don't want to deal with her, she may not let you go. "This is not equivalent to putting a timed ** by your side, will the poplar be too cruel to himself by doing this.
I'm a little worried, more precisely, it should be hating iron and not steel, although I know that Yang Shu has always been a kind person, but kindness should also have a degree, I can't let others spread wild here, I can't stand it.
"If she tries to kill me, none of us can stop her. What she wants is just the Yang family's property, and I'm not rare about it anyway. If I had a choice, I would rather be born in an ordinary family, at least not to the point where my family turned against me and betrayed my relatives. Poplar said, a pained look on his face.
"You can't have such a mentality, you should protect this piece of family property, the more things others covet, the better you have to protect, and you can't let those wicked people succeed. "I tried to persuade Poplar to be more positive and not to be resigned to fate.
"Human beings are really greedy creatures, they crave more when they get some, and the desire is endless. When she first married into our family, she acted like a good wife and mother, and deceived us all. As a result, her fox tail could not be hidden, and it was not enough to get her share, and began to fight for what did not belong to her. Poplar turned to look into my eyes and said, with an expression that I couldn't read.
"Some people are like this, at first she acts like she is not in the world with everyone, so that others let their guard down on her, and then she carefully plans something for herself, and gives a fatal blow at a critical moment. "I hate these little people, they never know satisfaction, they only think that they want to get something from someone else.
Although I haven't had much contact with Poplar's stepmother, hearing Poplar's heart-wrenching words makes me feel a kind of resistance to this woman.
