The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 577 The Mafia King reunites with Lihua (1)

　　"You…"

　　Xinyue shrugged. "It's shocking, but here I am-"

　　"You are Xian Xue who worked as the vice chief under Wei! How dare you call me your sister!" She glared at him.

　　"..."

　　Chang Fang coughed.

　　"I know we did wrong by accusing you instead of that bastard Shen Yang for betraying us, but that doesn't mean you get to call me your sister! And you hooligan! You even kidnapped Jiang Ruiling! Shameless!" Her nostrils flared.

　　"..."

　　Xinyue then stared at her and then turned to look at Chang Fang. "I am leaving. I don't think she needs any saving here."

　　He turned to walk away when Chang Fang grabbed him. "No, no! Madam is just joking!" He nervously laughed.

　　Lihua was speechless. "I am not joking. He is Xian Xue, not Cheng Xinyue, who is…my supposed brother."

　　Xinyue sneered. "I knew it was a bad decision on Mom and Dad's part to have another child. They should have stopped at me. Now, look what has happened. We have Dad's other version right before us."

　　"..."

　　Lihua gritted her teeth. "You are mean!" She managed to whisper.

　　Chang Fang helplessly said, "Madam, it's true. Xian Xue was his fake name when he worked for Boss. He is the real Cheng Xinyue."

　　Lihua frowned. "But then why did he have Shen Yang's face? And where is Shen Yang?"

　　Xinyue chuckled in disdain. "So you finally asked the question you should have asked for the first time."

　　"..."

　　Chang Fang answered. "Well…it's a long story to tell. But in short, we all have been working in the shadows to take Jiang Zhen down."

　　Lihua froze. "S-so…"

　　He nodded. "His time has come, Madam. Tomorrow will be Jiang Zhen's last day. We came here to take you away."

　　From their left, another guard came, walking with Zhao Weisheng.

　　"Grandpa!"

　　"Lihua, dear," he hastily walked over to her side and checked her from head to toe. "Good, good. You are alright."

　　Lihua nodded and stared at the guard who brought Zhao Weisheng. "You…you…" she gasped. "You are from the Sparkling Water gang, aren't you? I remember you!"

　　Xinyue grimaced.

　　What the hell is Sparkling Water?

　　The man beamed. "Madam, you remember me!"

　　"Of course, I do. But how are you here? How did Jiang Zhen's guards not stop you?"

　　Zhao Weisheng smiled. "Because there are no Zhen's guards anymore here. But we don't want to alert him right now, so we are still doing this sneakily."

　　She widened her eyes.

　　Not his guards anymore…?

　　The man from the Sparkling Water gang eagerly said, "Madam, Boss is waiting for you outside!"

　　She stiffened.

　　"...Wei is here?"

　　Chang Fang also furiously nodded.

　　Her eyes teared up, and she trembled. "So you are really taking Grandpa and me away from here?"

　　"Yes!"

　　Chang Fang said, "Let's go, Madam."

　　"B-But what about Jiang Hua and Ruru? We have to take them away too! I won't let them stay here anymore."

　　They sighed.

　　"On Grandpa's insistence, we did ask Madam Jiang Hua…"

　　"So? Where is she?"

　　"I am not coming, Lihua."

　　She jolted and saw Jiang Hua carrying Ruru in her arms.

　　She smiled. "I am glad for you, Lihua. That day has finally arrived when you will be free from here. I knew…When I met you, when I talked to you, I knew that you would bring change with you in this house. The years of tyranny would end one day. It is finally happening…" she trembled. "But I will stay here. Not to support him. I don't hold any feelings for him especially after how he…" her eyes ached as she said, "didn't care if Ruru died when he got that attack. That's why I would like you to take Ruru with you. I have married Zhen. So, I will stay with him until his bitter end. But Ruru doesn't need to."

　　There was silence.

　　Jiang Hua smiled at her son. "Ruru. Go with Lihua and the others, okay?"

　　Ruru hugged her neck tighter. He glanced at Lihua once and then looked back at his mother.

　　He then furiously shook his head. "Stay with Mom…"

　　She froze. "Ruru, you-"

　　"Stay with Mom," he seemed stubborn.

　　Tears fell out of her eyes. This was the first time that Ruru wanted to stay with her out of his own accord. He always preferred to be with Lihua and thought that he would easily go with her.

　　Zhao Weisheng smiled and softly placed his palm on his head. "Seems that he wants to support his mother. Don't reject it. And don't worry. You two are free once Jiang Zhen loses. Until then, if he wants to be with you too, then let him."

　　"Ruru, a-are you sure?"

　　Ruru bobbed his head up and down. "En."

　　Their resolve made Lihua emotional, and she hugged the two of them. "This doesn't end here, okay? We will meet again!"

　　Jiang Hua sobbed and hugged her back, quietly letting all the tears out. There was relief in her heart that everything will finally end tomorrow.

　　But at the same time, she felt a sense of loss too. Until the very end, she had hoped for Jiang Zhen to change. But that day never arrived.

　　Ruru cried and hugged Lihua too.

　　Lihua tearfully bade goodbye to Jiang Hua and Ruru. Xinyue hit her head with a light chop. "Don't cry as if they are gonna die."

　　"You! How can you be my brother!?"

　　He sneered. "I ask the same question a million times to myself. How are you my sister?"

　　When they stepped outside, Lihua noticed a figure shrouded in darkness at a distance. She froze, and then a sharp tremble passed through her body.

　　She could recognize that figure any time.

　　Wei…

　　She wanted to run towards him. But pregnant with a big belly, she couldn't. Suddenly, she burst into tears, sobbing and rubbing her eyes.

　　The figure from the darkness rushed towards her and enveloped her in his warm embrace. A soothing and gentle voice echoed her ears which she always loved to hear.

　　"Don't cry, Lihua. I am here."
