The Mafia King’s First Love

Chapter 119 - The Mafia King's Wife's Proposition (3)



Chapter 119 – The Mafia King’s Wife’s Proposition (3)

The Shi family, Old Madam, and even the shadowy figures of the Jiang family who didn't speak a word until now were visibly shocked by her condition.

Jiang Weizhe tilted his head and narrowed his eyes as he stared at Lihua. A glint of amusement shone in his black eyes as he understood where she was coming from.

Wei rapidly blinked his eyes as he saw a sweet but crafty smile on his wife's lips. All the previous anguish he felt dissipated into thin air, and a smile bloomed on his face. He patted her head and felt proud of her.

Fu Renshu went into such deep shock that he wondered if he was seeing stars in front of him. His head spun in confusion.

Why do I feel that this dumb woman put forth some extremely intelligent condition?

Ruomei's figure shook in anger and her trembling finger pointed at her. "What do you mean? All conditions void?"

Lihua nodded. "Yes. If I win, I will still be Jiang Wei's wife. But if I lose, I have to bear too many things. A deal should be fair and square."

The Old Madam struck her stick hard, making everybody jolt. "Then ask for something else if you win. What's with this ridiculous condition you put for six months!?"

"Because I don't need anything else if I win. I will be Jiang Wei's wife, and that is enough for me."

Wei's eyelashes softly tremored. A warm feeling gushed in his chest and he had an urge to kiss her lips then and there. He bit the corner of his lips, trying to control his overwhelming sensation to eat her.

Of course, Ruomei noticed the change in Wei's expression and realized his desire. His clouded gaze was solely focused on Lihua as he bit down his lip. She blankly stared at him with temper and jealousy set ablaze in her heart like hellfire. Her fingernails pierced her palm, but she didn't feel any pain.

First his gentle and doting gaze and then his lustful eyes… everything for this bitch! Why is Wei treating this cheap woman with such care who could never match me!?

Lihua's voice broke her out of her stupor.

"But there are too many people who resent me, right?" She eyed Ruomei and Shi Zhen as she said this. For a moment, her suspicious gaze landed on the Old Madam, too, but it just stayed for a moment.

Shi Zhen spoke through his clenched jaw. "What the hell do you mean?"

"I have to take measures that my six months are safe. What if somebody purposely hampers all my efforts and instead makes things difficult for me to win my task? Everybody knows Shi Ruomei here, so they trust her, but they don't know me. So, it's easy to make them misunderstand me by playing some strings in the background and using dirty tricks. If something unfavorable happens, nobody will believe me even if I am innocent. That is why I put forth this condition.

I will be sincerely and honestly trying my best to win everybody's hearts and prove myself as a capable wife and daughter-in-law. But if anybody played any tricks in an attempt to throw me out of this house before six months are over, then all the conditions that you put forth will be null."

Lihua smiled. "If I could prove the guilt, then I will not divorce Jiang Wei even if I fail the task. I will not hand Ruomei's hand in his and neither I will kneel and grovel on the ground to apologize. So your conditions will become zero!"

Wei nodded in agreement.

Ruomei stared at her in utter horror. "That's preposterous!"

The temperature quickly plummeted so low that chilliness permeated in the air. The Old Madam shot a deadly glare at her. "Are you out of your mind!? So you want to say that you will be his wife if you win and even if you lose? Like hell I will allow that!"

Lihua shook her head in dismissal. "No. You are wrong. I win if I win, and I lose if I lose. But…" she squinted her gaze, "I win IF anybody gets unfair. So it depends on SOME people here if they want to play this fair or not. My condition to make your conditions void will be only valid if you played any tricks. If you let the six months pass peacefully without coming in my way, then the result will be simply a straightforward win or loss. If I win hearts, I stay and if I don't, I leave."

It finally clicked Ruomei, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt a burning desire to kill Lihua.

Ruomei and the Old Madam were definitely not going to sit still in these six months and do nothing. The Old Madam had already connived her plan to kick her out of the house. But her condition put them in a pinch now.

One slightest mistake from them and it would secure Lihua's victory even if she lost.

The Old Madam clenched her stick.

This crafty woman! No wonder she wormed her place in Wei's life. She must have done something similar to gain his favor!

Wei said in an emotionless manner. "Accept her condition, or I will leave with Lixue."

He had enough of this family drama now. He now only wanted to head back in his room with her and spend time with his lovely wife.

"Jiang Wei! Do you think we will stoop so low!?"

"You don't like her. You can do anything," he ruthlessly busted her.

"You…" The Old could hardly control her temper. But she took deep breaths and said, "Alright. I will draft the contract."

Ruomei stiffened.

H-How could she agree to this! This will make it impossible to do anything against her!

She inwardly cursed Lihua, but she couldn't oppose the Old Madam either.

Wei said, "Send me the contract after it's prepared."

He gently squeezed her hand and smiled, making her heart skip a beat. "Let's go."
