The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 116 - The Mafia King Is Ready To Give Up His Throne

The Old Madam stared at Wei in horror. "Leave this house?"

"Yes."

She burst into laughter. "And then what? Leave the Jiang family and then what?"

"Live with Lixue," he said in such a plain tone as if it wasn't a big deal to him at all.

She sneered. "And do you think you will still be able to retain your position as the CEO of Jiang Industries? Do you think I will let you be the Mafia King anymore?"

Wei slightly stiffened. He peeked at Lihua and wondered how she reacted to that. His heart sped in nervous anticipation. As he looked into her eyes, he froze.

Lihua seemed stunned and in disbelief. Her mouth was wide open and she turned to look at him in a daze. Wei straightened up. He felt a tingling sensation in his fingers.

D-did she remember anything…?

"You...you are the…"

A gulp passed down his throat. With such tension, even Fu Renshu chewed on his lower lip.

Damn it, did it trigger something!?

Lihua stammered. "Y-you are the CEO of Jiang Industries! I mean you are a CEO!?"

Wei slightly widened his eyes. He carefully observed her. "...Yes."

She gasped and covered her mouth.

My husband is a CEO!? I mean…

She looked around the mansion and it did strike her that he was some wealthy man, but a freaking CEO of a company?

Fu Renshu grimaced. He gritted his teeth and wished to smack her hard on her head.

This woman will remain dumb even after the memory loss! I guess that dumbness cannot be really cured.

He cleared his throat. "Madam, don't you remember that I mentioned this fact OUTSIDE?"

Lihua jolted and gulped in fear. Fu Renshu's gaze was menacing as if he would strangle her the next moment. She could even faintly hear him gnashing his jaw.

This assistant is so scary! She cried.

"O-Oh did you now?"

Guess I was so nervous about meeting Jiang Wei's family that I didn't hear about it.

Wei felt relieved. She didn't particularly react on the Mafia King part. So it meant that it didn't trigger anything.

The Old Madam condescendingly smiled. "See? This is the sort of pathetic reaction a woman like her could give. She is just an embarrassment to the family! Do you understand how much of a fool we will be if they know that she is your wife!?"

Ruomei smirked at her in disdain. "This is the difference between us."

Shi Zhen said, "This is the woman you chose against my daughter!?"

Lihua was dumbfounded.

"What is the problem? Is a person not allowed to feel shocked anymore? I just said that I don't remember anything. So if I come to know that he is the CEO of some bigshot company, of course, I will get shocked. Because otherwise, I had assumed him to be a fairly normal person with a normal background. Do I have memory loss or you all?"

Fu Renshu almost choked in laughter. Only he knew how hard it was for him to maintain a straight face.

Jiang Fai cracked in laughter. His mother, Jiang Xiurang glowered at him and signaled him to keep quiet.

A vein popped on Ruomei's head and even more hatred bubbled inside her for Lihua.

The Old Madam quietly said, "And this is the way you talk to us who is supposed to be your in-law's family."

"..."

You weren't welcoming either!

"You weren't welcoming either," Wei challenged her gaze.

!!!

Lihua looked at him with a sparkling gaze.

Are you a mind reader?

The Old Madam gritted her teeth. "Welcoming for this woman? Over my dead body! She cannot be your wife!"

Wei nodded. "That is why I will leave with her."

The Old Madam chuckled. "And do you think I will let you be the Mafia King? Jiang Wei, you either choose that witch or your position as the Mafia King!"

"I choose Lixue," he didn't waste a moment before declaring his decision.

Silence.

Ruomei froze.

"The title doesn't matter to me neither does my position. There is no need for me to make any choice because it was always Lixue. Anything apart from her doesn't matter to me."

The Old Madam trembled in rage. Now, she was in a real pinch.

Wei was the Mafia King and insanely capable of handling the Underworld matters. His position was so firm that if the King's throne became empty, the whole Underworld would be in chaos. To date in the history of the Jiang family, nobody had such a good grasp of the Underworld as he held now.

For a woman like Lihua, was he ready to give up everything?

"You cannot shed your responsibility as the leader, Wei. You have the Jiang Industries and the Underworld on your shoulders! Do you want to make a fool out of our Jiang family?"

He tilted his head. "I only care about my wife."

Ruomei wished to tear Lihua's face apart. Before his family and the Old Madam, he refused to budge for that lowly woman.

Shi Zhen angrily laughed. "And your responsibility towards my daughter?"

"I already offered my compensation for that."

"We don't need that! We have already announced your engagement ceremony!"

"That is not my problem."

The Old Madam yelled. "Are you giving up on your family and throne for just this woman!?"

"Yes."

There was no hesitation or deterrence in his voice.

Wei held her hand and softly smiled. "Let's go."

He pulled her hand but she didn't move from her place. Wei furrowed his brows and glanced at her questioningly.

She whispered. "I don't want to break you apart from your family. She is right. You cannot give up on your responsibilities."

"I cannot give up on you either."

Her heart shook by his words and her cheeks turned slightly red and warm.

The Old Madam stared at them. She realized that things weren't going to be so easy. If she had to force them apart, she would have to do it some other way.

Lihua smiled. "You don't have to."

Wei curiously looked at her. Lihua turned and faced the Old Madam. "I don't want Jiang Wei to be separated from his family because of me. But at the same time, I understand your displeasure too. You already chose a woman for him and now I am suddenly standing here as his wife. So I will prove that I am just a good choice for him as his ex-fiance. Six months. If I could win everybody's hearts in this family in six months, you will have to accept me as his wife."
