The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 118 - The Mafia Kings Wifes Proposition (2)



Chapter 118 - The Mafia King's Wife's Proposition (2)

The Old Madam felt as if she completely lost her face.

Ruomei bit her lip hard. The tears refused to stop, staining her cheeks wet. Shi Cuifen sobbed and hugged her. "Ruomei… Don't cry dear."

But she wasn't listening.

How? Why!? Why would Uncle agree to this ridiculous proposition!? Is it because...I didn't try to stop the Old Madam from insulting him at the store?

Her fingers balled into a fist.

Is that why he developed a soft corner for this bitch who stood up for him?

The Old Madam angrily laughed. "As expected of my pathetic son. What can I expect from you other than always going against me? Every time... every single time, you do nothing but humiliate me!"

Jiang Weizhe said nothing.

Lihua grimaced. "Having one's own opinion is an insult to you? But I won! Isn't it? I wanted to have one member's agreement, and here I have that. Isn't it right?" Her gaze sparkled as she merrily chirped.

Wei warmly nodded and felt happy for her. "En. You won."

Jiang Xiurang couldn't believe that her brother agreed to this. Ever since he married Jiang Yubi, he didn't bother with the family decisions. But now he suddenly came forward and expressed his agreement. Plus, he never cared about Wei. So, he shouldn't have cared about his wife or this matter either.

She never understood how his mind worked.

Then there was another brother whose mind was just as a mystery to her as Jiang Weizhe. His other brother, along with his wife, son and daughter were calmly watching everything unfold. Until now, nobody from their side uttered any word either. Neither in Lihua's favor nor against her. Even their gazes were unreadable. She couldn't tap into what they were thinking of this whole situation.

The Old Madam clenched her stick. She took a deep breath. "So you claim that you can win everybody's favor here in six months?"

She nodded.

"And if you couldn't do that, you would divorce Wei and leave him?"

Wei froze. The temperature lowered to an extremely freezing point.

Divorce her?

"What? Why will I divorce him?" Lihua touched her chin.

"..."

Ruomei flared. "What do you mean!? If you can't fulfill your ridiculous proposition, of course, you will have to leave Wei!"

"No, I won't."

Are you nuts!? As if I will ever divorce such a fine specimen in this entire universe!

"Because I am confident that I will definitely win everyone here!" She chirped.

"Don't be so arrogant!" Her chest heaved up and down in breathlessness.

Even Lihua didn't know where she was getting her confidence from, but she had a good feeling that she would be able to handle this. It would be difficult, but not impossible.

The Old Madam narrowed her eyes. She hated this. She hates to bow before this arrangement! But she couldn't let Wei leave either. At this point, the Jiang Industries and the Underworld would just crumble if Wei left. But that didn't mean that she would stay still for six months and do nothing.

Before the six months get over, I will throw you out of this house, you witch!

Jiang Weizhe was an exception. But apart from him, nobody would dare go against her and accept Lihua. The consequences would be dire.

"If you fail in your task, then you would divorce Wei and with your own hands, you will put Ruomei's hand in his. You will kneel and grovel your head on the ground and apologize to me!"

The rage inside Ruomei calmed down a bit as she heard this. That would be so humiliating for Lihua that she could feel her skin tingle in excitement. She wanted to see her face crushed in defeat and despair when she would apologize.

Fu Renshu looked all calm and collected on the outside, but inwardly, he was running around in circles in panic.

Dumb Lihua! Why did you have to do that?

He knew this family. The fear and command of the Old Madam were deeply engraved in everybody's hearts. They would never stand against her and support Lihua. It was impossible to gain favor ever let alone in just six months!

I want to strangle you! So what if this is all a mess? As long as the Boss stands with you, nobody can lay a finger on you, not even the Old Madam. You just have to let the Boss handle this!

Lihua's back was straight and her gaze was confident as she spoke, "I agree!"

The Old Madam observed her without much change in her expression.

Wei hesitatingly glanced at her with a displeased look.

How can she agree to this? I will never divorce Lihua even if she fails. She cannot promise this.

Wei tightened his grasp on her hand and anxiously gazed at her. She gave him a reassuring nod and smiled.

The Old Madam sneered. "Then this-"

She looked back at the Old Madam again and said, "But! I have a condition."

Everybody looked at her, dumbfounded. "What!?"

The Old Madam gritted her teeth. "Condition?"

"En. Don't you think that it's unfair that you put three consequences in front of me if I fail while I have none? Divorce Jiang Wei, put Shi Ruomei's hand in his as his fiance and grovel on the ground and apologize - three consequences."

"So?"

"But I have just one, which is that I will retain my position as Jiang Wei's wife if I win. But you see, I can face many unfair challenges along the way that could ruin my mission of gaining everybody's favor."

Ruomei felt irked at Lihua's words. She wished to scratch her face so bad that nobody would recognize her.

"What unfair challenges?"

"For example, somebody plotting against me to throw me out of this house before my six months get over."

The Old Madam and Ruomei stiffened.

Lihua grinned. "That's why I will put a condition to secure my six months. Within these six months, if anybody tries to unfairly defame me or plot against me and if I could prove that person's truth, then all your conditions will become void!"
