Chapter 134 - The Mafia King Finally Understands His Aunt's Pain

Ruomei stood frozen on her spot for a long time before she finally realized that Jiang Weizhe had already left. She gaped at his retreating figure and wanted to run after him again but she didn't.

What happened?

A pity.

He only said that and left. She wanted to know his reason behind supporting Lihua, but instead, he asked her to meet Jiang Yubi.

She bit her lip and felt anxious. But then she assured herself that even if Jiang Weizhe might not be standing with her, the Old Madam was and with her the entire family. Even without him, she would win this bet. She simply felt too agonized to know that he stood up for Lihua!

You will never be able to win against me Lixue!

---

At night in their room, Wei saw Lihua in deep thought as if concentrating on something hard. He walked up to her and sat beside her. "What are you thinking?" He softly asked.

She snapped out of her stupor. "Wei! I was thinking of Jiang Fai."

My cousin?

"Why?" He curiously asked.

"Hehe because he is the first target I have locked on! So I am thinking of what I should do that will change my image?"

Wei frowned. "You don't have to do anything. You are fine the way you are," he seriously said.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Ah damn, my husband is so good at flirting! He dotes on me so much.

"You haven't forgotten the challenge, right?" She giggled.

Truthfully, Wei didn't want her to work so hard. He wanted her to only enjoy her life and live a carefree life as his wife.

"So I want to know more about him. Assistant Fu said in the morning about Li Tingzhe."

He nodded. "En."

"He cheated on Aunt Jiang Xiurang, right?"

"Yes. He had another mistress he had been hiding in another house. Aunt saw them together one day and she came back to the Jiang villa, crying. Fai was six years old at that time."

Lihua felt anguished to know that a little boy at that age had to suffer the separation of his parents.

"So why didn't she divorce? Why is she still that cheater's wife?"

"Old Madam didn't want that."

She was speechless. "Huh? Why not! He cheated on her daughter. She should be furious!"

Wei blankly said, "It wasn't like that. It would have been a blow to the Jiang family's reputation if it came out that Aunt and Uncle have been separated. She absolutely didn't want this news to get leaked. She wanted Aunt to go back to Uncle's place and let it go."

Lihua was stupefied. "This is horrible!"

"But Aunt begged her to let her stay in the Jiang villa. The Old Madam had refused at first, but when Aunt threatened to kill herself and Fai, she acceded her request in exchange that they won't divorce saying that she wouldn't let her get a divorcee tag."

Lihua gritted her teeth as she heard everything. Her blood boiled in anger.

"How can she be so cruel!? Aunt Xiurang is her daughter! How can any mother bear this!? Didn't any of the family members oppose this?"

Wei blinked his eyes. "Old Madam is the Matriarch. Her decision was final."

Lihua had her mouth wide open. "What about her brothers? Father-in-law and…"

"Uncle Weiyuan. Dad's younger brother."

"Yes! What about them? She is their sister! Of course, they won't be quiet about this! Doesn't every brother dote on his sister?"

Suddenly, he thought about Mo Huojin and Mo Hina and he narrowed his eyes. "Indeed…"

"So?" She looked at him questioningly.

"Nobody said anything."

"..."

Lihua smiled at him and somehow for the first time, Wei got a bad feeling. The smile on her face didn't seem like the usual loving one.

"How old were you when Aunt came back here?"

Unknowingly, a gulp passed down the Mafia King's throat. "Seventeen."

"So you weren't young either not to understand the seriousness of the situation. Did you oppose her decision?" She folded her hands and stared at him.

Wei froze. His shoulders slumped and he looked away.

Lihua gritted her teeth and fumed. "Oh my God! What is wrong with this family!? How can anybody not find anything wrong with what happened to Aunt? Her husband cheated for God's sake and she is forced to stay married to him and none of you say anything!? Aren't you the Mafia King?"

He panicked seeing Lihua angry at him. The last time she was so mad at him was when he insulted Song Jia. Her rage now was similar to that time.

"Lixue…" he anxiously said.

"Yes or no?" She narrowed her eyes.

He gulped. "Yes."

"Then should a King behave like this? How can you be a King when you don't even care about your family? If you don't fight for your family, how will you protect others who are strangers to you?"

He pursed his lips and guilty lowered his head. He was beginning to understand Lihua's point.

"You were seventeen at that time. It's the age where we understand everything. You cannot give any excuse for not standing up for her! You should have brought them to their senses! It's humiliating for anybody to stay with someone who cheated on them. That Li Tingzhe must be feeling so arrogant. He wronged her and yet he is staying married to her. Would you let it go if it had happened to your sister or your daughter one day?"

His ears perked up at the mention of his daughter and a soft smile bloomed on his face. But his expression immediately turned bloodthirsty as he imagined her being cheated upon.

A man cheating on his daughter and his daughter crying and shedding tears. He even went as far as imagining her trying to kill herself.

That simply made the temperature drop down to a negative degree.

NOW Wei finally understood what he should have felt at that time when Jiang Xiurang came sobbing in the villa. If it would happen to his angelic daughter one day in the future, who would definitely be Lihua's carbon copy, by the way, he would make that guy go through the paths of endless hell.
