Chapter 343 – The Mafia King Brings Lihua To Yang Mansion
Ruomei laughed. "Suffer Jiang Wei, suffer! I could do nothing but see you slipping away from my hands when you brought Lihua. You are the one who made me so pathetic that I had to resort to cheap tricks to keep my position in the Jiang villa. But what happened in the end? I was thrown out…I just wanted to prove that I am better than Lihua! But Old Madam threw me away just like that! Now you also have to see Lihua slip away from your hands. I want to see you helpless just how I was. I want to see you crying and crawling your way back to her, but she won't spare you a glance like you never did to me."
She pushed him away and sneered. "This is just the beginning of your misery, Jiang Wei."
She walked away. Outside, she saw Lihua standing at her spot, gazing emptily ahead with a blank stare.. She snorted and looked away.
Turning at an alley, she dialed a number. A gruff voice came from the other end. "Hm."
"It's done. I spilled out everything in front of Lihua. As expected, she is shocked and devastated. She has told Wei to get her memories back."
"I see."
"Yes. It is evident that she won't go back to him now."
There was silence on the other end.
"So will she come to our side?"
Ruomei paused.
"I cannot say that now. But after she remembers Song Jia, she is bound to hate Wei even more than now. Luring her to our side would be easy."
"I expect you to do that," there was a hint of danger and alarm in the voice. "I have gone to great lengths to dig out the truth. Jiang Wei didn't leave any stone unturned to bury it from the world. I don't care how betrayed she feels. I want results, and I want her at my side. She is my trump card to destroy Jiang Wei."
"Yes."
The call hung up.
Ruomei narrowed her eyes and walked away.
Inside the cafe, Fu Renshu anxiously tried to appease Wei. He stood before him and said, "Boss, you know Shi Ruomei hates Madam and you. Please don't pay attention to her. She is doing this all for her revenge."
Wei slowly looked at him. "She… didn't say anything wrong…"
He stumbled and had to take a chair's support to stand.
"Boss!" He held his arm and supported him.
"Lihua had also said the same thing. That engagement night when she learned about the misunderstanding…she had scolded me for being so irresponsible. She even wanted me to personally go back and clarify everything. She didn't want Ruomei to wait and get humiliated. But I…" he trembled, "I didn't listen to her."
Wei blankly said, "I hurt Ruomei's feelings, and she is giving me back what I deserve. I… Renshu…" he looked at him, fearful of the future, "Lihua…will she leave me? What should I do Renshu? I…" tears slid down his cheeks, "I don't want her to go…"
Fu Renshu couldn't help but tear up too. He had never seen Boss so vulnerable before.
"Boss…"
He didn't know what to say.
Wei tilted his head. "You were right, Renshu. Everything was an illusion. It didn't stay for long. It… finally broke apart. Even after wiping her memories and driving Meng Ya away, she still came to know the truth. I should have…I should have confessed everything to Lihua, right?"
Fu Renshu remained silent.
"She will leave me…"
Wei shook hard and hastily ran out. He saw Lihua standing with Shen Yang and Bobo. Bobo glared at him. "You! Why are you still here!? Don't come to Lihua's side anymore! Look, she isn't even talking to me anymore…" his shoulders trembled and he sobbed.
Wei grabbed Lihua's hand and stuttered. "Li-Lihua. Please listen to me. I-It's not like what you think."
"Wei," she whispered with a dead tone, "I told you I want my memories back."
He stiffened.
"If you are not taking me to Mingshen, then I will go by myself."
"N-No!"
He clenched his fists. There was no way out. Lihua wouldn't listen to anything he had to say until she would get her memories back.
Xia Nuan spat in anger. "Huojin and I will come with you too."
Lihua trembled. "No…I will be fine."
"Don't be like that, Lihua," she urged, "I cannot leave you alone with Jiang Wei. I don't trust him. What if he doesn't let you go!? He is the man that can cross all the limits!"
Silence.
"Please…I will be really fine," she self-deprecatingly chuckled, "There is nothing left for him to force on me anymore…"
Mo Huojin put his hand on Xia Nuan's shoulder and shook his head. "Let her be. In this state where she doesn't remember anything, Lihua doesn't know anything about us. We are practically strangers to her. She won't be comfortable around us, at least until her memory is back."
"Huojin, how can we trust Jiang Wei of all people?" She was aghast.
Mo Huojin stared at Wei. He looked back at her. "You can trust him on this, Nuan. He hurts other people who threaten him to take Lihua away from him. He would never hurt Lihua is what I have understood. You saw, right? How Lihua trusted him until the very last moment. That means that all this time for the past six months, he has been taking good care of her for her to trust him so much. He would never force her to do anything."
She stayed silent.
"And that's why she is so heartbroken. The deeper the love is, the more devastating it is to bear the betrayal. We will always be there for her, Nuan. But right now, she needs some time and space."
She bit her lip and slowly nodded.
Xia Nuan glared at Wei and said, "If you dare do anything to Lihua, then I will kill you, Jiang Wei! Keep that in mind!"
They left.
Wei's speech slightly faltered. "B-Bring the car, Renshu. We are going to Yang mansion."
