Heart Hunting novel 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 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!”
