Chapter 51 – The Mafia King’s Imminent Threat
It's as if the room thundered with lightning as Fu Renshu oozed a dark and gloomy atmosphere. The temperature dropped to negative with chilliness enveloping the room.
Meng Ya shuddered. "Brr…Hey! Simmer up. It feels too cold!"
"Song Lihuaaaaa… what is Boss saying?" Fu Renshu cracked his knuckles as he approached her, akin to a Death God.
Lihua ran and hid behind Wei. She showed a pitiful face. "Boss, look at your assistant. He is acting violently towards an employee! I stand against this violence!"
Wei looked at his capable assistant. "Don't scare Lihua."
He froze in his steps. "Boss! Don't stop me today. This woman seduced you. She tainted my pure Boss. I will not forgive her for this!"
Wei furrowed her brows. "I took her in my room last night as she fell asleep. We were playing Ludo."
"…"
Meng Ya coughed. "S-Sir…why didn't you take Lihua in her own house?"
Fu Renshu's threatening gaze befell Meng Ya as if challenging – You dare ask my Boss?
She simply grimaced and ignored him, making his fuse short-circuit even more.
Wei remembered what Yang Mingshen had said last night.
"Her bed, my bed, what is the difference?" Wei repeated those words.
Lihua spat three liters of blood. She was utterly speechless. Wei confidently said as if they were in a relationship, so it didn't matter. But for Lihua, of course, it wasn't the case.
How can Boss say it so nonchalantly? We are not a couple! People will misunderstand!
Fu Renshu was aghast. "Of course not Boss. H-How can it be the same? How can her poor bed compare to your classy and royal bed!? You cannot lower yourself to her standards, Boss," he sobbed.
"…"
"Why are you two here?" Wei asked. He was disappointed by their sudden appearance and disturbing his quality time with Lihua.
Meng Ya stiffened in fear as she clearly felt his hostility. "Haha… I just came to meet Lihua and thought we could head to college together…"
Fu Renshu respectfully said, "Boss, I have some important work to discuss with you."
Lihua quickly said, "Oh of course! Work comes first. I wouldn't intrude anymore," she grabbed Meng Ya's hand and dashed away from his house.
In her apartment, Lihua collapsed on her couch. "I am saved from that evil assistant. I am alive to see another day."
Meng Ya's mouth twitched. "First you tell me everything that happened last night! Did you really sleep with him?"
Her eyes flew open. "Of course not! I-I mean I thought I jumped on him…"
"…"
"But that wasn't the case at all."
"Don't lie. You slept with such a handsome man and nothing happened?" Meng Ya refused to believe it.
"It's the truth! Or…" she coughed.
"Or?" She squinted her gaze, "Spit it out Song Lihua."
Lihua blushed as her cheeks turned rosy. "I kissed him in his sleep. Ah, Yaya…what should I say? It was heaven. His lips are so delicious that I can eat them all day."
Meng Ya's mouth was wide open. "What!? So shameless! You attacked your sleeping Boss!"
"Shoosh! If Assistant Fu heard it, then he would skin me alive! And why not? How can I miss this golden chance? He was a treat waiting to be eaten," Lihua grinned.
Meng Ya giggled and winked. She remembered Fu Renshu and harrumphed.
"That Fu Renshu is really annoying! When I was waiting outside your house, he growled at me saying how dare I appear anywhere within 50 meters of Mr. Jiang's place? Can you believe it? I mean you live here too! Can I not come to meet you?"
Lihua choked in laughter. "Hahaha!"
"That is not it. He even said that Song Lihua is already enough. He doesn't want any more poor flies hovering near his precious Boss. I so wanted to kill him at that moment!"
"…"
Poor fly? That Assistant Boss has really got a poisonous tongue.
"Anyway," Lihua sighed, "Let me get ready and we will head for college."
"Cool. Oh yes! I found this letter near your door this morning," Meng Ya showed it.
Lihua took the letter from her and studied it. "Ah? Somebody sends a letter even in this age of texting?"
"Isn't it?" She shrugged. "Even I was shocked. Who is it from?"
Lihua flipped it back and forth. "There is no sender's address or name written here."
"Strange…"
Lihua frowned. "I don't know. Should I open it? But I am not sure. Is this letter even for me? I don't have relatives to do this. I only have sis Jia, but she is on a mission. Maybe somebody accidentally dropped it here."
Meng Ya said, "I don't think so. Getting a letter is a rarity in itself these days. It seems bleak that somebody accidentally dropped it here. Well, it was near your door, so it's not wrong to assume that it is for you."
"Hmm…"
"Check that later but now we are late for college!"

A woman, wearing a hoodie was quickly but quietly walking down the hallway as she entered the luxurious Jiang villa. Her steps were slow and soft. But that didn't compare to how rapidly her heart was pounding in her chest. Finally, she got her chance to head outside this house to do the job she was waiting for all this time. Today, the head butler was on leave, who used to keep a strict eye on all the maids and butlers in the Jiang villa. Sneaking out as long as he was present was impossible. And today she finally got the chance to deliver the letter to Lihua.
Finally… finally she will know the truth now. Once she knows the truth about Song Jia, everything will be fine. These Jiang's won't be able to hide any longer.
I am sorry for putting you in danger like this Song Lihua…but only you can give Song Jia justice. Only you can fight for her.
The woman clenched her dress as her eyes stung in tears. She quickly headed into her servant quarter.
"Wait."
The woman froze on her spot. Her heart jumped in her chest as she turned to see an elder maid, squinting her eyes at her.
"From where are you returning, Nuan?"
