The Mafia King’s First Love

Chapter 212 - Jiang Ruiling's Savior



Chapter 212 – Jiang Ruiling’s Savior

Ruomei and Wen Yaoting were completely clueless as to what had happened. They expected to see Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang on one bed in a compromising position, but how did Lihua come into the picture?

Then their gaze shifted towards the corner and they froze. It felt as if thunder struck them seeing the man Ruomei had hired tired to a chair with his face all beaten up. Shen Yang was standing beside him with a cold and murderous expression on his face.

What the hell happened! Why is he still here? He was supposed to escape after trapping Shen Yang and Jiang Ruiling in the room!

Wen Yaoting gnashed his jaw and shot a deadly glare at Ruomei as if accusing her.

What the fuck went wrong!?

Panic enveloped her chest, and she got a bad feeling that only intensified because of Lihua's presence here.

Lihua got up and so did Jiang Ruiling. Jiang Lanying, her sister-in-law hurriedly went up to her and asked, concerned, "Ruiling. Are you alright?"

She pursed her lips and slowly nodded.

Jiang Ninghong carefully studied her daughter's face, and her instinct said that something was wrong. Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Li shared glances and then quietly retracted them.

Jiang Fai coughed, "Sister-in-law, nobody accused you of having any impure relationship with sis Ruiling."

"B-But everybody is looking at me as if I am some hooligan!"

"Aren't you one?" Mingshen's sinister chuckle rang as he taunted Lihua.

Her mouth twitched.

He touched his chin and smiled. "Wow. I didn't know that Mrs. Jiang is so feisty. Do you feel that your husband is not enough for you that you are attacking your sister-in-law? Interesting to know that you bend that way."

Everybody choked in their saliva, but Lihua's condition was even more embarrassing.

But the socialites who didn't know this fact were horrified.

Jiang Wei married this woman!? Wasn't it going to be Shi Ruomei?

During Jiang Fai's case, he was the one who got the most fame and exposure because of his victory, so Lihua's name and identity were still fairly hidden from all. But now, it was officially out in open.

Now they understood why Lihua and Wei seemed so closer. It's because they were husband and wife!

The ladies glanced at Ruomei, some with curiosity and some with mockery.

"S-shut up!" Lihua stammered.

The Old Madam struck her stick on the floor. "Enough! Tell me what is going on! Why are you even here?"

Lihua sneakily glanced at Ruomei and Wen Yaoting who looked as if they saw ghosts. It was evident from their expressions how they were confused about their failed plan.

A faint smile curled her lips as she thought about what happened before this drama began.

*Fifteen minutes before*

"Mmpf!"

Jiang Ruiling was trying her best to resist the man from violating her but all her efforts went in vain. Tears streamed down her eyes as she realized that she was truly going to lose her dignity tonight.

She shut her eyes to brace herself.

The man licked his lips and his fingers moved towards her dress to rip it off.

*Meowww*

An agile figure jumped onto him and he froze.

Unknown to both of them, there was someone else in the room who had her eyes upon them. This whole time, there was a certain someone who was cozily lazing in her spot without a care in the world.

At first Lihua, the cat heard someone enter the room as the darkness settled. Her attention ever so faintly went onto the man. Her sharp senses tingled, and she immediately felt malice oozing out from that stranger. Her green orbs narrowed, but she kept quiet. Part of it was also because she couldn't sense any fear coming from Jiang Ruiling.

She did nothing, and so she continued lazing off. But a few minutes later, her ears twitched as she heard Jiang Ruiling's restless breaths. It was just after when she saw a small flicker of light that shone in the room which died down a moment later too. She smelled fear in the air.

Lihua wasn't any ordinary cat with the sharp instincts she had. That's why Mingshen chose her as his pet and in his company, he only honed her senses to work even better. Mingshen was a cruel man, and he raised his cat to be his mirror image.

So she easily felt the shift in the atmosphere when Jiang Ruiling started to panic. Even the man's aura kept on becoming more dangerous. Her voice was shaking and quivering and Lihua understood that now the threat was real even for Jiang Ruiling.

She stepped on her toes. At that point, the man dragged Jiang Ruiling away from the door and pushed her on the bed.

A cat's night vision is more or less the same as humans but still slightly better in the dark. On top of that, she lived with Mingshen until now who had trained her to adapt to the darkness too and improved her vision thanks to his experiments and medicines. Mingshen had high standards even for a pet.

Unaware of the cat's presence, the man pinned her beneath him.

With silent steps, Lihua walked towards him, her gaze locked on to that man as if he was prey. Her eyes narrowed as the malice from him made her look ferocious.

Slowly, quietly, she inched closer and closer to him. As the man was close to ripping Jiang Ruiling's dress off, she jumped on his shoulder and from there, she leaped on his head.

"What? What is going on? W-what's on my head!?"

Lihua raised her paws and with her sharp claws, she struck them across his forehead and eyes.

"Ahhh!"

Jiang Ruiling was startled and she opened her eyes. The man suddenly released her and clutched his face.

What happened…

*Meow*

Lihua kept scratching his face and hair and the man winced in pain.

"What the hell! What is a cat doing here!?"

Jiang Ruiling widened her eyes.

Cat?

The realization struck her.

Lihua?

She suddenly remembered that Shen Yang had brought the cat in when he came to tell her about Wen Yaoting. She faintly recalled that Lihua had jumped off from his arms and settled somewhere in the corner.

So she was here too…
