Chapter 5 The First Confrontation ([-])

"It seems that there are quite a few women who are lucky enough to step into Mr. Tang's other courtyard!" Poppy joked as she walked.

The corners of Tang Yiluo's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile, it seemed that he was proud of it.

Walking into the small building, Poppy looked around. Sure enough, the decoration and furnishings inside the small building were also unexpected, and complemented the chic decorations outside. Those who didn't know would definitely think that the owner of this small building, Is a man of great taste.However, when she looked at Tang Yiluo who was beside her with a frivolous and unruly face, Poppy inexplicably felt that it was very unpleasant.

It was already late at night, and the other courtyard was located in a secluded place with no one around, so the small building where only Poppy and Tang Yiluo were left was extraordinarily quiet.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Tang Yiluo poured a glass of red wine, handed it to Poppy, poured another glass himself, raised the glass, and motioned to drink with Poppy.

Poppy smiled slightly, respectfully touched the cup in Tang Yiluo's hand with the cup in Tang Yiluo's hand, took a sip, and then said, "Because Mr. Tang wants to gain face in front of his friends. I don't know Poppy guessed Right?" Poppy's expression was very natural.

Tang Yiluo just smiled, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of the wine, "You are really smart, you have seen through all of this."

Poppy still had that faint smile on her face, "In Mr. Tang's eyes, a woman like Poppy is just a plaything, so it's not hard to guess what you're thinking."

"However, you are only half right." Tang Yiluo's expression turned serious, "In my eyes, you are different from them. I always feel that there are many stories behind you."

Poppy naturally wouldn't take this kind of playboy seriously, so she just prevaricated, "There are many stories behind everyone, isn't there?"

Tang Yiluo nodded thoughtfully, expressing his agreement, turned around, picked out a record, and put it on the record player. The moment the record was spinning, a beautiful piece of music flowed out from the record player, filling the whole world. room.

A person who loves dancing naturally loves music.

Poppy quietly felt what the melody was about to say, and was silently intoxicated by herself.

"I wonder if Tang is lucky enough to dance with Miss Poppy?" Amidst this beautiful melody, Tang Yiluo also became interested, bent down, stretched out a hand, and invited Poppy very gentlemanly.

Poppy froze for a moment, she usually would not accept a man's invitation, this was not because she was arrogant as a dancer, but because of her arrogance from the heart.However, coming to this other courtyard today is considered an exception, since it is here, it will be safe, so Poppy still put her white hands in Tang Yiluo's, and danced along with the beautiful melody. posture.

In the midst of dance and music, Poppy is always intoxicated, she even forgets where she is and who is opposite her.

Tang Yiluo was also drunk in this dance, observing Poppy so closely, I am afraid that no man would not be tempted.

The two were intoxicated with ecstasy when suddenly they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Tang Yiluo let go of his hand impatiently, turned off the record player, and shouted towards the door.

Poppy quickly took advantage of this opportunity to straighten her clothes, and looked at the person at the door.

"Yi Luo, open the door, it's me." A woman's voice came from outside the door.The voice was pleasant and gentle, but it was obvious that there was a sense of urgency in the voice.

Poppy naturally didn't know who this woman was, but after hearing this voice, Tang Yiluo's face changed drastically, and the smile just now disappeared all of a sudden.

Tang Yiluo looked back at Poppy, Poppy was sensible, and looked in the direction upstairs, meaning, do I need to avoid it?

Tang Yiluo shook his head at Poppy, signaling her not to move, just stay there.

Poppy thought to herself, it seems that there will be a storm in a while.

Yes, in a man's other courtyard, when two women meet, turmoil is probably inevitable.However, Poppy wasn't afraid, or it should be said that she didn't take these things to heart at all, because she had nothing to do with Tang Yiluo in the first place.

Tang Yiluo hesitated to open the door.

I saw a young woman walking in from the door, with light makeup on her face, unassuming but very restrained, wearing a light green skirt, wearing a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, she looks like a priceless .Every move, every frown and smile seems to be polite.

Although Poppy didn't know who she was, she could tell that she must be a well-trained lady.

Poppy guessed right, this woman is called Wan Qianshi, and her father is also a well-known businessman in Lirao City.The Wan family is not only well-established in business, but also a scholarly family. Several generations of ancestors have been high officials. Therefore, Wan Qianshi was infected by the family environment since she was a child, and gradually became a well-educated lady.Tang Yiluo's father, Tang Zhengxing, had a long history of business dealings with the Wan family. Gradually, he fell in love with the graceful Wan Qianshi, so he personally came to propose marriage and asked her to be his daughter-in-law.The Wan family was naturally overjoyed to see that they could become relatives with the Tang family, and of course they would not refuse.In this way, Wan Qianshi married Tang Yiluo under the arrangement of her parents.

Wan Qianshi has been married into the Tang family for more than a year. In the Tang family, she treats the servants with meekness and courtesy, and treats the elders with respect. Therefore, no one in the Tang family does not like Wan Qianshi.However, Tang Yiluo treats her hot and cold, and even completely treats her as if she doesn't exist.No woman can tolerate her husband spending time outside all day, but what can Wan Qianshi do!The women in the mansion regard their husbands as their gods. Apart from serving her parents-in-law wholeheartedly, all she has left is endless waiting.

But sometimes, she would occasionally have a big fight with Tang Yiluo, but even though she tried her best, she still couldn't win Tang Yiluo's heart.

"Why are you here?" Tang Yiluo was obviously a little unhappy, and Wan Qianshi asked coldly as soon as she entered the door.

"It was my father who asked me to come to you. Something happened at home, and my father told you to go back quickly." Wan Qianshi explained coaxingly like a child, for fear that Tang Yiluo would be angry.

"I won't go back. Let the elder brother take care of the family affairs, why come to me." Tang Yiluo was very impatient, and threw out such a sentence coldly, as if everything in the Tang family had nothing to do with him .

"It's just something happened to my elder brother." Wan Qianshi was a little anxious, and continued, "As soon as Li Rao's new commander took office, he seized the cargo ship of the Tang family, and my elder brother has been taken there for questioning. After the accident, Matsushita Tian Yi also came out to make trouble, threatening that there was a problem with the Tang family’s goods, many customers had terminated their contracts with us, and the workers in the factory were also uneasy. I’m afraid this time it’s bad luck!”
