Chapter 281 – The Mafia King Meets His Mother (1)
Meng Ya blushed. "So you see. We confessed it at the same time. But I thought that I heard Renshu saying a teensy tiny second earlier. So I said that Renshu confessed to me first haha…"
Fu Renshu twitched his mouth.
Instead of telling such a long story, couldn't you have just said that we confessed at the same time? Why so much background effect?
Fu Renshu said, "Indeed. I thought that she spoke first so technically I decided that she confessed first. But now that I think back, we said it together I guess."
Tian Meirong said, "I see…"
He quickly said, "I hope you are satisfied now."
"Yeah…" she narrowed her eyes. "So I guess Meng Ya will be moving back to Renshu's room?"
They choked hard.
Meng Ya inwardly sweated. "Um, what?"
She smiled. "Well now that you too have sorted out your issues, wouldn't you two stay together now in one room?"
Silence.
She gulped.
Me and with this hooligan!? Impossible!
Fu Renshu wanted to kill himself.
Me and with this dumb woman!? Impossible!
She awkwardly smiled. "Y-yeah… Actually, I was going to move my stuff today only…"
Why the hell things took this turn!? But if I ignore it now, all my effort in answering her questions will go to waste! She will definitely sniff out that something is wrong.
And if she finds that it's a fake relationship then she won't leave the chance and would jump upon him!
Fu Renshu raised his brow.
At this point, he honestly thought that she would give up and admit defeat. But she actually accepted it.
A sinful smirk laced his lips.
Well, it would be fun if we stayed in one room. I would have lots of fun with her~
By fun, he had no perverted meaning associated with it. By fun, he meant literal fun.
He smiled. "Sure~ I will help you in moving back."
Meng Ya felt a chill run across her spine seeing the eerie smile on his face.
What is this hooligan planning now? His hideous smile is not good news!
Tian Meirong said, "Alright then. Let's see…"
Meng Ya frowned.
See what?
After she left, Meng Ya immediately asked, "You! What was with that smile?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play innocent! The smile that clearly says you are planning something bad! Are you going to trouble me?"
He chuckled. "Well if you think so then you can always stay in your room. I am not forcing you to come with me."
She gritted her teeth.
But then Tian Meirong would realize the truth. And I don't know why but I don't want that to happen…She would be confident that her path is clear now.
As she thought about Tian Meirong and Fu Renshu together, the familiar irritation erupted in her chest and a sense of distaste filled her heart.
"Hmph! I am not scared of you!" Meng Ya haughtily said and then left the table too.
Fu Renshu stretched his arms and smiled. "We will see that."

The next day, Lihua stood in front of the separate residence where Jiang Yubi lived.
But she didn't come alone.
She grinned. "Let's go, Wei. Mom is waiting for us."
Wei plainly said without much emotion. "I am not allowed inside."
"Don't worry about that! We will go in anyway! Aren't you excited to meet your mother!?" Her eyes sparkled. "After so many years, you will finally have your reunion."
Wei thought about it.
Mom…
He particularly didn't feel anything different. "Not really…"
"Hehe don't think about it too much. I know it's sudden but I am sure you will feel something!"
Lihua had realized in all these months that Wei had trouble comprehending emotions. It was clear with the way how he didn't know much about his own family members even though they lived in the same house. There was no connection at all and everything because of how heartlessly Old Madam trained him.
But she was sure that with Jiang Yubi, it would be different. She gave him birth after all. There was no way that Wei wouldn't feel even a tiny speck of emotion for her.
As soon as they stepped into the villa, an extremely chilly voice came from above the corridor. "Why are you here?"
Lihua looked up and saw Jiang Weizhe coldly staring at Wei. With dark fury enveloping his gaze, he came down, his every step carrying a heavy and ominous ring to it.
The father and son faced each other in confrontation. Where the father was furious at his arrival, the son had absolutely no effect. Wei just expressionlessly stared at him as if it was just any other normal day.
"Why are you here?"
Wei said nothing.
Lihua was the only chirpy one among the three. "Oh, I brought Wei here to meet Mom! Isn't it nice?"
Jiang Weizhe was stunned and he widened his eyes. "You brought him here?"
No wonder Wei suddenly came…He never broke his rule in all these years.
His voice softened in front of his daughter-in-law. He couldn't be stern to her.
"Wei cannot come here, Lixue," he patiently said.
"I know. Mom told me about it."
He slightly stiffened. "En."
"But I brought him anyway," she sheepishly grinned. "It's been twenty-eight years now and I feel sorry for Mom that she had to stay away from her son for so long. So it's time for an emotional reunion haha!"
"…"
Jiang Weizhe's mouth twitched. He glanced at Wei and narrowed his eyes.
He softly smiled at her. "That is not needed."
"Why not?"
"Because Yubi is used to living without him. She or I don't need him to fill anything in our lives," he said seriously.
"But that is not what Mom thinks," she smiled.
Jiang Weizhe pursed his lips. "I am sorry Lixue but I can't let him meet Yubi. It has always been that way and I won't change it even if… you tell me to do so."
