The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 133 - The Mafia King Doesn't Care

Lihua noticed the huge bags that were placed beside Ruomei. A soft smile had curved the corner of her lips upwards.

The Old Madam said, "Shi Ruomei will stay with us in the Jiang family from now on."

There was no reaction on Wei's face as if it didn't even bother him. His expression was as stagnant as an old puddle of water.

The Old Madam gave a crafty smile. "I don't care about your marriage with that woman. As such, I haven't dissolved your engagement with Shi Ruomei. Didn't Lixue place that ridiculous bet? She will never be a part of this family even after the six months are over. It's completely worthless. So, Shi Ruomei has every right to stay here. This witch can play wife-wife all she wants, but it's not going to change anything."

Ruomei softly said demurely as she smiled, "I am really grateful, Old Madam."

She smirked as she glanced at Lihua.

You will never succeed in your plan. Now that I am here, I won't let you.

Her gaze then suddenly dimmed as she anxiously stared at Wei. "Wei, I hope you don't mind. I-I just hope that you understand me," her voice sounded soft and strained. "This is all difficult for me too. But...I cannot give up on you."

Her big orbs were on the verge of tears. "She has bewitched you somehow and you have to know her truth. Don't be blinded by her beauty. She is fooling you."

Wei didn't respond, but his gaze seemed to want to convey something.

Fu Renshu stepped up as the capable translator. "Boss doesn't care if Miss Shi lives here or not. As long as you don't touch Lady Boss and Boss, you are safe."

Ruomei froze.

The Old Madam's expression darkened. With an extremely low voice, she spoke, "Fu Renshu. Don't forget your place. You are merely an assistant."

"Old Madam, I don't dare to be disrespectful. I am only conveying my Boss's message."

The train of conversation broke as Lihua clapped her hands. "That's great! If Shi Ruomei stays here, it's all the more good for me!"

Wei looked down at his adorable wife and tilted his head in curiosity. "How is it good for you?"

Ruomei was inwardly enraged. Wei refused to utter even a word for her, but for Lihua, he would always break his silence.

Lihua's eyes glimmered in joy. "If Shi Ruomei lives here, she would see up close and personal how awesome I am!"

Fu Renshu choked on his saliva while Jiang Fai almost lost his footing.

What makes this bitch so confident!

"I mean this is a good idea. She can see for herself how cool I am. It would also clear any misunderstandings she might have about me. By the end of the six months, she will have to admit that I won fair and square!"

Wei finally got enlightenment and he nodded. "Indeed."

Ruomei thought that her presence in the villa from now on would irk her like hell. So what if Wei liked Lihua? Ruomei had the family's support. But instead of feeling outraged, Lihua felt even more confident in her victory.

Lihua grinned. "Welcome to the Jiang family!"

A vein popped on her forehead. She welcomed her as if she was already a part of this family!

The Old Madam wasn't bothered. She knew that Lihua was bound to act like this. She didn't care. Now that Ruomei will be living here too, there will be a lot of chances for her to destroy Lihua and her schemes. Lihua would lose even before the six months were over. Plus her presence in the villa will always remind the family members about the choice they should make.

The Old Madam sneered inwardly.

My choice is the family's choice, and I will prove this to you.

"Uncle!"

Ruomei rushed towards Jiang Weizhe who was walking back to his residence where he lived with Jiang Yubi. Fu Shen was following right behind him.

Jiang Weizhe paused in his steps and he quietly looked back. Ruomei slightly huffed as she stopped. She faced him a little hesitantly.

"Uncle. I apologize for suddenly calling out to you. I just wanted to talk for a moment."

He didn't respond. But his gaze slightly narrowed in question. Fu Shen spoke on his behalf in his stern voice, "Go on."

Her delicate face showed a distressed expression as she looked at him. "Uncle. W-Why did you support Lixue yesterday?"

Jiang Weizhe was silent.

She fiddled with her fingers and bit her lower lip. His black eyes slightly widened with a hint of tears in them. "Uncle. Wei and my engagement were decided in Wei's presence and I had been waiting for this day for so long. But...Lixue came between us. You saw it yourself that day, right? She behaved so rudely and even disrespected the Old Madam. So...so why did you…"

She left the words unsaid.

"Uncle, do you not like me?" She softly whispered under her breath. "Did I do something wrong?"

Out of all the family members, only Jiang Weizhe had supported Lihua.

As usual, Jiang Weizhe chose not to respond.

She started panicking because of his lack of an answer. Fu Shen, too, simply quietly stood there.

"Do you want to meet Yubi?" Jiang Weizhe asked in a low voice.

Ruomei blinked her eyes. "Huh? A-Aunt?" She didn't understand why he suddenly brought this topic up. Her question was different.

"I…" she hesitated. Everybody knew of Old Madam's displeasure at even Jiang Yubi's mention. How would she meet her and get in her bad books? It would mean that she would blatantly oppose Old Madam if she met her. Nobody was allowed to.

Ruomei awkwardly smiled.

How am I supposed to reject him?

She didn't know what to say anymore. Usually, anybody would want to meet the future mother-in-law and please her. But the Old Madam held the utmost power and she hated Jiang Yubi.

"A pity."

These were the only two words that Jiang Weizhe spoke before he turned and left off.
