Chapter 362 - The Mafia King's Awakening - Pain (9)

As Lihua stepped out of the Bureau in a daze, she suddenly found herself landed in a fierce hug. She froze and seemed confused.

"Fai! What are you doing!?" Jiang Xiurang reprimanded him. "She is pregnant. Don't be so hyper!"

But Jiang Fai didn't listen to her.

"Sister-in-law…"

Lihua recognized her sweet brother's voice, and her eyes got blurry. "FaiFai…"

She hugged him back and sniffled.

"What are you doing here?"

He bit his lip. "Sister-in-law, are you...are you really leaving us?"

Her shoulders trembled, and she felt her heart break apart to hear his choked voice.

"FaiFai I-"

"No, you cannot leave us!" He hugged her tighter. "No one will be happy if you won't be there anymore. We have so many things to do together. I have to show you the next comic I am working on! I have also decided to protect you and my unborn nephew. How could you decide to leave then? If you remain stubborn, then I will leave with you too!"

Jiang Xiurang pulled him back. "Fai. Don't be like this. You know very well that Lihua doesn't want this either."

He wiped his eyes, refusing to show his tears. "Then why is she leaving? Nobody wants it, right?"

Lihua weakly smiled. "Sometimes we are forced to do what we don't want, FaiFai...Your cousin has left me with no choice."

She still felt the lingering sensation of Wei's lips as they had kissed earlier. Their parting kiss that had left them both with a feeling of loneliness.

Jiang Xiurang held her shoulders. "I know it's impossible for you to change your decision," her gaze dimmed. "But I still want you to know that your relationship with the Jiang family hasn't disappeared anywhere. I don't know about others, but Fai and I will keep meeting you. I am going to become a grandaunt, after all. I have thought of knitting the first sweater for the child."

Tears fell as she laughed. "Yes, Aunt."

She lifted her gaze and saw Old Madam walking towards her.

Lihua stayed silent for a moment.

"Grandma. I am really sorry...I-I wanted to be your support and find Grandpa together," she burst into tears. "I wanted to be with you to fight against Jiang Shan but-"

Lihua stiffened as her eyes slightly widened. Her lips parted in a soft gasp as she realized an important thing.

Jiang Shan...How could I forget about him?

Last night, she had asked Wei to surrender himself for killing Jia and face his punishment as per law. But if the Mafia King disappeared right now, then wouldn't Jiang Shan find this as a great opportunity to attack them?

In her quest for Jia's justice, the whole matter with Jiang Shan completely slipped out of her mind.

The family and the Underworld without the Mafia King would crumble easily and fall into his hands.

I... didn't think about that. Jiang Shan is a dangerous man, and Grandma needs all the support to fight against him. Wei is an integral part of this battle. How could I…

Suddenly, she didn't know what to do anymore. It was true that she wanted Jia's murderer to be behind bars, but it was also true that Old Madam needed him. Now that Jiang Shan's plans were foiled by failing to destroy the family through Old Madam, he would be plotting his next plan.

She didn't know what it would be or when it would be, but she knew that Wei would be needed.

Wei, Jiang Weizhe, Jiang Weiyuan, Jiang Li and Shen Yang - everybody would be needed to fight against him.

"Lihua…" Old Madam gently placed her hands on her shoulders. "What are you thinking?"

She broke out of her stupor. "No-Nothing…"

Old Madam held her hands and smiled. "Lihua, you don't have to feel guilty for leaving us. I support you. I know even if we won't live together anymore, you will always be thinking about us just like how we will be thinking about you."

She weakly smiled.

"Also, congratulations," Old Madam turned a little emotional as she looked at her belly. "It's my first great-grandchild...You don't know how happy I am. T-take good care of yourself, okay?"

I hope that this time...this time Weisheng will be with us as we welcome our great-grandchild together…

Mrs. Zhang came forward and softly said, "Lihua is like my daughter. We will take good care of her and her child."

Bobo harrumphed. "Of course, her future husband is also here."

Old Madam chuckled.

As Lihua walked away, she turned and looked at everyone one last time. She trembled as she saw Wei at a distance, staring at her unblinkingly.

She tore her gaze apart from him, gathering every last ounce of courage she had.

And just like that, the distance widened between them until Lihua completely disappeared from Wei's sight.

Late evening in the Jiang villa, Jiang Yubi opened the door to Wei's room, but she didn't find him inside.

Where is Wei?

*Meow*

Lihua, the cat, stared at her with her sharp eyes. She hopped out of the room and dashed away, making Jiang Yubi hastily follow her.

"Wait. Where are you going? You will hurt yourself."

Lihua stopped in front of the luxurious bar room that was built inside the Jiang villa.

"Why did you come here?"

Because your dumb human son is here.

She slowly opened the door and peeked inside. Then her eyes widened in shock as she saw Wei collapsed on the counter with three empty bottles lying beside him.

"Wei!"

Jiang Yubi rushed inside and held his shoulders. "Wei, wake up. You…How much have you drunk?"

Wei slowly opened his eyes and the image of a blurry woman standing before him.

"Lihua…Is that you...You-you came back to me…?" He mumbled in a completely intoxicated state. "W-was it a dream? Our divorce…You came back to me..."

She burst into tears seeing such a pitiful state of her son.

"Wei. It's me."

Wei froze upon realizing that it wasn't Lihua's voice. "L-Leave! I don't want anybody else but my Lihua!"
