The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 341 - The Mafia King Has Nothing To Say (2)

Chapter 341 - The Mafia King Has Nothing To Say (2)

The Mafia King's eyes clouded in danger and threat. Every one of his lies was exposed in front of Lihua and he couldn't do anything to stop it.

Why...How did this happen? Why did everything have to get ruined today?

Lihua... Lihua cannot know the truth. She will leave me...She will hate me.. I don't want it.

An eerie and nauseating feeling gripped his heart. He was close to hyperventilating. Everything was laid bare in front of Lihua. And now he had to give his answer.

His eyelashes trembled as he gazed at her who was hopefully looking back at him and waiting for him to prove everyone wrong.

He parted his lips, but nothing came out. Thin drops of sweat formed on his forehead and his body started to tremble in anxiousness. He didn't know why but tears brimmed in his eyes. His breaths were ragged in fear and panic.

"Li-Lixue…"

Lihua squeezed his hand. "Y-Yes Wei. Tell me. They are all wrong, right?"

Fu Renshu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He couldn't believe what Meng Ya said would come true so soon. With such overwhelming evidence, it was impossible for Wei to deny it.

Boss…

The hope and nervous smile on her lips twisted Wei's heart. He just had to say that they were wrong. Just that and Lihua might have wholeheartedly believed him. No matter what Mo Huojin had to say, no matter what Xia Nuan confessed about Jia or no matter that Bobo revealed her identity as Song Lihua - everything would be meaningless once Wei denied it. She just wanted to hear those words.

But Wei couldn't say it. He knew that his silence was dangerous. A few more seconds of it and Lihua would be forced to believe everyone else over Wei. A few seconds more of it and she would be gone forever.

She would withdraw.

She would step back.

She would lose her trust.

She would hate him.

She would leave him.

Everything that Wei feared the most would happen in the next crucial seconds if he kept quiet.

And every second was making Lihua more and more restless.

"Wei...say something…" tears streamed down her cheeks. "You are innocent! Tell them that! Why are you standing here and bearing all the accusations? Tell them that you can never betray me."

Her hands shivered as she tugged his arm. She saw his mouth opening and closing several times and every time he withdrew from speaking, Lihua felt as if a knife stabbed her heart.

She grabbed his shirt and screamed. "Stop with this silence already! Please Wei…" she burst into tears and begged him, "please say the truth, no? Please s-say that you didn't do all these things...My memory loss, it was really an accident, right?"

Wei took a sharp breath. He quickly held her hands and said with a shaking voice, "Lixue...I-I will explain everything…okay? I-I will…" he gulped hard.

Lihua blankly stared at him. "Explain what? You just have to say that it was an accident."

He stiffened.

"Is it so difficult?"

Ruomei sneered looking at Wei's pale and ashen condition. Who would have thought that she would get to see the Mafia King in such a pathetic state one day?

Xia Nuan narrowed her eyes. "You cannot escape, Jiang Wei. Everything is over for you."

Wei glared at her. "Stay out of it," he coldly threatened her.

Lihua shook him. "Look at me, Wei. I-I am asking you something. You aren't giving me any answers…My memory loss was an accident, isn't it?"

He couldn't answer.

"Y-you didn't kill my sister, right?"

He curled his fist but still, he couldn't say anything in his defense.

"You didn't know that woman in the mall, right?"

Wei bit his lip hard until he tasted his own blood settling on his tongue.

Lihua didn't know how to handle his silence anymore.

"Wei. Who am I?"

He froze.

"Jiang Lixue? Or Song Lihua?"

She tearfully laughed. "Th-The woman whose name you called in your sleep that night was me, right?"

Wei apprehensively looked at her, desperate to say his side, but how?

He hastily took a step forward and grabbed her shoulders. All his thoughts were in a mess. He could hardly think straight in that situation. "Lihua y-you have to listen to me. I-"

Lihua stared at him. "Lihua?"

He trembled.

In an instant, Lihua saw her world crumble into pieces. His guilty expression stabbed her heart. She was running and running away from the inevitable truth with all her might.

But now the road has ended. There was nowhere to run anymore. It was a bitter truth that she had to face now.

She stumbled a step back. The light in her eyes faded away and the hands that held his shirt dropped down in defeat.

Wei saw her pull back and he shook hard. He quickly grabbed her shoulders. "Lihua. Y-you have to listen to me. I...I…" he wiped his head and breathed hard. "I didn't do it to hurt you...I…"

He was afraid. The familiar fear raged in his heart. Adrenaline crazily pumped in his blood, triggering a fight or flight response.

Lihua blankly shook off his hand. With dead eyes, she stared at him, unable to comprehend anything.

"Why Wei... Today was... today was…" her voice choked and stammered as tears stained her cheeks wet. "Today was supposed to be the happiest day in our life, right? I-It's our six months anniversary...and now I know that everything was a lie...Why would you do this to me, Wei?"

"Lihua-"

"You...Do-do you know how I was fighting like crazy against them? I trusted you e-even if it was impossible to ignore the truth. But…" she breathlessly gasped, "But I still believed in you a-and you broke it...in just a second...you broke apart everything…"

A tear slipped down his cheek. "Li-Lihua don't say that please…"

"Wei..." Lihua expressionlessly said, "Bring my memories back."
