Chapter 185 - A Hefty Offer
Chapter 185 – A Hefty Offer
Fu Renshu stopped in front of Meng Ya. She stared at him in a stupor. After his one torturous class where he had mercilessly ground the lessons into her for a test, this was the first time in a month that they were meeting. Her heart skipped a beat for a moment that broke her trance.
Meng Ya hurriedly glanced at the side but Wei's car was already gone. "T-they are already gone! Lihua! I want to talk to her!"
She jerked her head towards Fu Renshu and anxiously asked, "Take me to them, Fu Renshu! I have to talk to her. S-something is wrong with Lihua…" a tear trickled down her cheek, "She didn't recognize me. She was looking at me like a stranger. I don't know what happened…" her lips trembled. "I have to meet her! Please take me-"
"It will be in your best interests, Miss Meng, that you quietly leave this place and don't bother with Madam anymore."
She froze and looked at him in shock.
His stern and icy gaze felt unfamiliar to her. The man who taught her and the man standing in front of her now seemed completely different.
"What do you mean leave…? How can I leave! First Mr. Jiang said the same thing and now you too! Lihua-"
Fu Renshu shot a sharp stare at her. "Madam Jiang Lixue. She is Jiang Lixue. Get it right."
"Again? What is wrong with everybody!" She screamed. "You know her! Didn't you use to call her dumb Song Lihua, dumb Song Lihua… then why is now everybody calling her Lixue? That is not her name!"
Fu Renshu gritted his teeth. "I am asking you very nicely to leave. Don't force me to take extreme steps."
She stiffened.
Her tearful eyes peered into her and she burst into a sad chuckle. "What will you do? Kill me?"
He froze.
"No matter what you say, I am not going to let it go!" She stomped her foot hard. "You all…you have done something to my friend…" she shivered as muffled sobs escaped her lips, "I cannot let Lihua be with a man who is lying to her!"
Fu Renshu grabbed her and pinched her jaw, making her eyes widen. He leaned until his nose almost touched hers. "One last chance. Don't blame me after this. Are you leaving or not?"
Her eyelashes slightly trembled by the sudden proximity. But her gaze was determined just like his, who was ready to protect his Boss's secret.
"I won't. I will not leave Lihua with such people who have betrayed her trust."
Fu Renshu's deep black eyes were fixed at her resilient ones. It didn't show in his expression, but inwardly, he desperately wanted her to let this matter go and never come back again.
It was Wei's order to deal with the mess, and if he failed to make her 'understand', then as Wei's last choice, he would order him to kill her. At no cost would Wei let anybody threaten him with anything, especially regarding Lihua. And Meng Ya was being a thorn in his path right now.
Fu Renshu knew that Wei was letting him warn her only out of respect that she was Lihua's best friend. If it had been someone else, that person would already have a bullet in his forehead. Threatening the Mafia King wasn't a joke.
Fu Renshu pulled her away from the guards and dumped her into the car.
Meng Ya exclaimed. "Hey!"
He coldly stared at the guards. "I will take care of her. Leave."
They nodded in attention and left.
Fu Renshu took the driver's seat and started the engine. Meng Ya hit him on his back and cried. "What are you doing!?"
She tried to get out of the car, but the doors were already locked by then. "Don't bother. You will only step out where I want you to."
She gasped in horror. "You hooligan! You are kidnapping me!"
He sneered. "Don't blame me. I gave you a choice to walk away. You didn't take it, so it's your loss."

The car stopped in front of a large mansion. Fu Renshu stepped out and opened the door to the backseat. During the whole ride, Meng Ya was crying and shouting to let her go, but it fell upon deaf ears. He didn't budge nor did he pay any attention to her.
He grabbed her arm and took her into the villa. Being the assistant and closest aid of the richest CEO and Mafia King, he lived quite a comfortable life with his salary. The Fu family served the Jiang family for generations now and as such, they weren't any less wealthy.
Fu Renshu dragged her up to his room, much to the maid's shock. Their master suddenly brought a woman into the villa for the first time and they could only watch it, dumbfounded.
But what was more shocking was that the woman was protesting and resisting with all her might. It was clear that she wasn't so thrilled to be here.
Fu Renshu threw her into a room and shut the door.
"You hooligan! How dare you kidnap me!" Meng Ya pointed her trembling finger at him as she sobbed.
He loosened his tie and removed it, making her gasp. "You…you-you…you…why are you undressing! What are you going to do to me, you hooligan!"
Fu Renshu was dumbfounded. "Who is gonna touch you, you dumb woman? I have high standards. I am loosening it because I feel hot."
He threw the tie away and walked to his cupboard. He opened a drawer and took out a small booklet. He quickly signed on it and tore a page of it.
Fu Renshu dragged a chair and sat in front of her. He grabbed her hand and put the blank cheque on her palm. Meng Ya looked at it in shock.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Put any amount you want and leave this city. Never talk about Madam to anyone and never utter her name again."
