Chapter 111 - The Mafia King Brings His Wife (1)

After a long rest, Lihua woke up. She opened her eyes and wondered if it was a dream that she just saw.

Her memory loss, suddenly knowing that she was married and having no family of her own - she felt as if everything was a fragment of her imagination. She thought she would wake up and find everything back to normal.

But when she tried to recall anything, she couldn't. Not even her name.

"This is really real…" she mumbled.

This was all too incredible for her, but as opposed to panicking and stressing over it, she realized that she was quite calm. The main reason for that was Wei.

She didn't recognize him as her husband, nor remembered the time they spent together, but even so, she felt safe and comfortable in his presence. She got strength from the fact that Wei was a loving and caring husband. Even if things were serious at this point, she felt solace thinking that she would be fine as long as he was with her.

"Apart from that…" Lihua almost jumped in her seat in excitement. "He is so Godly handsome! I mean who wouldn't want to wake up and hear that such a sinful man is her husband? This feels like a dream in so many ways! Chuck the memory loss out of the window. If I have such a full packaged husband - handsome, attractive and so caring; what else do I want?"

She shrugged. "Bah! I can regain my memory if I try hard. But how will I get another man like this as my husband? I mean just look at that doctor," she clicked her tongue.

"He is handsome for sure, but what is the use of that attractive face if his tongue is so poisonous? I pity his girlfriend. No, wait. How would he have any girlfriend with that menacing gaze and foul mouth?"

She sheepishly grinned. "Anyway. My life is set with my Godly handsome prince. Plus he seems rich-"

At that moment, the door opened and Wei silently tiptoed. "You are awake."

She coughed and straightened up.

Did he hear the rich part I said?

He walked up to her and gently held her face. "How are you feeling?"

His gaze filled with concern warmed her heart. "I am fine."

"En. Do you need anything? I heard that you were mumbling to yourself."

"..."

She cleared her throat. "Ju-just looking around here and talking to myself."

He nodded.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

He stared at her and smiled. "Our home."

---

Jiang villa.

The atmosphere at the Jiang villa was simply too dark and suffocating. The maids and butlers trembled at their place. The old Madam and the whole Jiang family gathered in the living room. Fu Shen stood beside Jiang Weizhe, who was seated at the other end.

The Shi family was on the other side with Shi Zhen and Shi Cuifen with Ruomei. After listening to what Wei said about having a girlfriend and this engagement being a whole misunderstanding, it was as if all colors drained away from her face. She felt humiliated that the ceremony didn't happen and the only thing holding her together was the Old Madam. She also refused to believe that Wei said the truth.

There was no way a man like Wei would ever touch a woman much less have a girlfriend. That fact was her only solace.

Last night was a disaster and it was the Old Madam who somehow controlled the situation by her announcement. There was no way she was going to let the guests know about such a blunder.

Shi Zhen finally spoke up after a long stretch of silence. "Old Madam. You announced that the ceremony got postponed because Wei got into an unfortunate accident, but what about Wei? If he refused to come last night, why would he come again the next time? This has gone too far. I cannot let the Shi family get humiliated again. I don't even know how many guests believed the announcement."

The Old Madam spoke such that it would send chills. "You think that the guests wouldn't believe my words? MY words?"

Shi Zhen quickly said, "I don't mean that way, Old Madam. It's just that Wei…" he clenched his fist, "He said that he has a girlfriend! What nonsense was he spouting!? How dare he refuse the engagement? Old Madam, you have to give us justice."

Shi Zhen held Ruomei's hand. "You know how hard my daughter has worked to gain your recognition and become the ideal daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. I won't let Wei cheat my daughter. He agreed to this engagement, and he has to adhere to our decision."

Shi Cuifen's eyes stung in tears, seeing her daughter's state. Until and unless Wei would come and clarify everything, Ruomei wasn't going to budge.

Jiang Xiurang smiled. "You are really overthinking this Shi Zhen. Wei doesn't have a girlfriend. It never works like that in this family. Well, we will only get answers once Wei finally decides to grace us with his presence-"

"Who said that you could talk in between, Xiurang?" The Old Madam coldly said with a dark countenance on her slightly wrinkled face.

"Do I need to spit out the rules here? Only I as the Matriarch speak. If anybody has to, it should be the son of this family. Know your place."

Jiang Xiurang stiffened and quietly backed out.

A guard stepped in and respectfully said, "Old Madam. Young master is here."

"What!?" Shi Zhen exclaimed.

Everybody froze. Ruomei was stunned. Then her face brightened in happiness and a wide smile curved her lips upwards.

Wei! Wei is here!

The Old Madam was taken aback for a moment. Wei was out of contact since last night and it was already the next evening, but there was still no message from him. Now, he was suddenly here.

She angrily laughed. "Let him come in. Let me see with what face he steps in this house!"

The door opened and the Mafia King's familiar figure majestically entered the villa. Ruomei's breath got stuck in her throat. It felt as if she was seeing him after so long.

Wei faced his family without much change in his expression. There was no trace of panic or hesitation.

The Old Madam struck her stick hard on the floor and stomped her way towards him, taking furious steps. With a bitter and outraged gaze, she glared at him. "Jiang Wei! What is the meaning of this! How dare you refuse to come to your own ceremony last night!"

Wei was unaffected. "I made myself clear last night. I cannot marry Shi Ruomei. I have a wife."

He looked back and softly said, "Come in, Lixue."
