Heart Hunting

Chapter 94

“Hey, Mrs. Murphy, come over here...” Mrs. Turner is opposite to the door. Seeing the door open, she

immediate greets Mrs. Murphy enthusiastically. But next second, she suddenly calm down when she

finds that Poppy is also here.

Mrs. Morris doesn’t know what happened to them last time. She doesn’t pay attention to the change of

Mrs. Turner. She says, “oh, Mrs. Murphy, you bring another girl here.”

Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Turner take a look at each other. After experiencing what happened last time, they

both feel a little scared with Poppy.

Mrs. Murphy looks at the facial expression of Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Perry, she feel a little excited. “Oh,

yes. Poppy doesn’t have to work today, so I bring her here to have some fun together.”

Poppy pretends to be gentle and says, “nice to see you. I’m here just to watch. Please don’t mind that.”

She looks harmless and innocent. Mrs. Morris thinks, it would be better if they can play mahjong with

this girl instead of Mrs. Murphy. So that they can win the money more easily.

Poppy sits next to Mrs. Murphy and keeps quiet. Mrs. Murphy deliberately tells her, “Poppy, pay

attention to how I play mahjong. If I get tired later, it will be your turn to play.”

Poppy glances at the ladies and says on purpose, “Mrs. Murphy, is that OK? I don’t even know how to

play it. I’m afraid I will lose your money.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Morris is very pleased, she replies, “it doesn’t matter. Everything has the first try. You

will know how to play it after several rounds.”

Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Turner don’t speak anything. They have learned their lesson since last time. They

are afraid that this is Poppy’s another trick.

“That’s great! Let me see how Mrs. Murphy plays.” Poppy looks at Mrs. Murphy’s cards, and thinks they

will definitely win according to the cards that Mrs. Murphy has.

But unfortunately, the winner of this round is Mrs. Morris.

“Mrs. Morris, how lucky you are!” Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Perry are both a little unconvinced, while Mrs.

Murphy is still smiling even she loses. She takes out the money on the table.

Mrs. Morris is certainly happy because she wins money. She looks at Mrs. Turner and says, “you see?

Mrs. Murphy is still so calm even losing money. It’s just the first round. Easy down!”

Mrs. Turner glances at Mrs. Murphy. She is extremely dismissive of Mrs. Murphy. She thinks, Mrs.

Murphy is not so calm like this, it’s just that she is used to losing money. How would she complain

about it!

“Come on! Let’s go on.” Mrs. Perry urges them.

The four ladies at the mahjong table all have the psychological comparisons.

Mrs. Perry suddenly sees the Jadeite ring on Mrs. Murphy’s hand. She asks with envy, “oh, Mrs.

Murphy, is that Jadeite ring on your hand Imperial Green Onyx?”

Mrs. Murphy nods and answers, “yes, it is. My son bought it for me at an auction in London.”

Poppy then notices the ring on Mrs. Murphy’s hand. Imperial Green Onyx, the king of Jadeite, has

indeed the best quality. It reflects the green color like the lake in the bright light, which looks like blue at

first glance. The color makes people feel a sense of noble.

“How lucky you are to have such a rich son.” Mrs. Perry exclaims with envy. She really likes Jadeite.

“Don’t say that, Mrs. Perry. Your husband is rich, too.” Mrs. Morris smiles and adds, “though he’s not as

rich as Mr. Murphy.”

Mrs. Perry seems like to choke by Mrs. Morris words. Her face suddenly turns gloomy, and even the

movement of playing mahjong is a little powerful.

She just could help asking when she see that beautiful ring of Mrs. Murphy. She didn’t expect to be

dissed.

Poppy watches quietly, and slightly smiles. These ladies all have strong self-respect and the mind of

rivalry. So she can just watch them fight against each other and wait to get the benefits from them.

Mrs. Murphy keeps losing for several rounds, and the total amount she lost has reached to 50

thousand dollars.

Poppy picks up the teacup and spills the water to Mrs. Murphy on purpose when no one else is paying

attention to her. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Mrs. Murphy! I get your clothes wet.”

Mrs. Murphy takes out a tissue and wipes herself. “It doesn’t matter.”

The other ladies don’t care about what happened to them. Poppy suggests, “Mrs. Murphy, why don’t

you go to get your clothes clean, and let me play mahjong for you?”

Mrs. Morris doesn’t forget that Poppy has said that she don’t know how to play it. She thinks Poppy is

definitely easier to lose money. She immediately says, “right, Mrs. Murphy, I guess you’re also tired. Let

this girl play!”

Mrs. Turner takes a look at Poppy, and finds that this girl seems really unfamiliar with mahjong. She

smiles and adds, “yes, Mrs. Murphy, just let this girl join us!”

If this girl really can’t play it well, then she can get revenge! Mrs. Turner thinks in heart.

Mrs. Murphy looks at Poppy and asks, “are you sure you can do it?”

Poppy slightly nods her head and says, “don’t worry!”

“All right! You can just enjoy the game! It’s on me!” Mrs. Murphy picks up her handbag beside and says

to Poppy before leaving.

“OK, Mrs. Murphy.” Poppy is delighted in heart. Finally it’s her turn! Since these ladies are so in fond of

pretending be generous, then let’s see how generous exactly they are!

“Hey, little girl, you know the cards, right?” asks Mrs. Morris.

“Just a little bit. If I make mistakes, please don’t make fun of me.” Poppy pretends to smile.

“Of course, we won’t. Everyone learns it from the beginning.”

“Just take it as the tuition if you lose money.”

Poppy looks simple and innocent, which makes Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Perry feel relieved and relax their

vigilance.

But ten minutes later, they are all shocked by Poppy’s luckiness.

Mrs. Murphy happens to come back, she looks at Poppy’s cards and get surprised. “Wow, you’re so

lucky, Poppy! You have such good cards!”

Poppy happily takes over the money from those ladies and puts it into her drawer. “Well, it is said that

the people who can’t play mahjong well are easier to win, right?”

After listening to her, the ladies relieve a little bit. What Poppy said is true. There is a saying like that.

However, after several rounds, Poppy plays it more and more well. This round, she wins Mrs. Morris

again. “I’m so sorry, ladies. I’m just so lucky today.”

Poppy gets highly happy, while the other three ladies all have a gloomy face. She has won back the

money that Mrs. Murphy lost earlier within just one or two hours.

“Are you really lucky, or are you really good at it?” Mrs. Morris can’t help diss her. She lost the most

among these three ladies.

“I’m not good at it. I am just really lucky.” Poppy says. “Just take it as the tuition when you lose it.”

Poppy still remember what they said.

Mrs. Murphy laughs quietly. She is so satisfied because it seems that she has brought the god of

wealth.

Another round starts, Mrs. Turner looks at the cards in her hands and finally has some smiles.

“Sometimes you just can’t stop the luck to come!”

Poppy glances at her, and looks down at her own cards. She smiles without saying anything. Mrs.

Murphy sits beside her and watches her play it in various ways. She really learns a lot from Poppy. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Just when Mrs. Turner thinks that she definitely will win, Poppy takes a step ahead and shows her

cards to them. She wins.

Mrs. Turner immediately gets upset. She almost win!

When others are paying Poppy money, Mrs, Turner looks a little strange when she looks at her wallet.

But Poppy doesn’t hesitate. She urges, “Mrs. Turner, you owe me 50 thousand!”

“I...I run out of my cash. I’ll ask the driver to deliver it right away.” Her heart is burning with anger. This

girl is really capable!

“Oh? I think it’s no need to do that. You can just give me that diamond ring on your hand!” Poppy looks

at her ring.

“No! I’d better ask the driver to send some cash!” Mrs. Turner covers her diamond ring with a

expression of dismay.

Poppy doesn’t force her, anyway, the ring must definitely be hers in the end. She nods, “then hurry up!”

Mrs. Turner grits her teeth and says, “don’t worry! I won’t repudiate the debt!”
