The Mafia King's First Love

Everybody had their mouths wide open seeing the public display of affection by none other than the CEO of the Jiang Industries. He looked as if imaginary flowers were blooming around him as he stared lovestruck at Lihua.

She was taken aback by surprise as the beautiful flowers came into her sight. "F-for me?"

Wei tilted his head. "I will only bring flowers for you."

The crowd choked, hearing such a cheesy line coming from his mouth. As expected, Ruomei was burning in jealousy and if she could, she would have already dropped Lihua dead in the deepest pits of hell.

Wei pursed his lips. "I am sorry I am late. I was having trouble choosing the flowers for you."

If the florist had been here, he would have cried rivers of tears, telling his sad story of how Wei tortured him for hours to make the perfect bouquet for his wife. Wei would nitpick every little thing from the color combination to the positioning of the flowers, making the pitiful florist question as to why he was even alive.

Lihua was stunned. "You didn't have to think so much, Wei. As long as it's from you, even a single flower would mean everything to me. But.. Thank you so much. You put in so much effort for this."

And the florist's sweat and tears too that Lihua was unaware of.

Wei nodded and kissed her forehead.

A mischievous glint passed in her eye. She pitifully looked at him and sniffled. "Thank you for the bouquet, Wei. But I think I cannot accept this…"

Wei froze. He quickly asked, "Why not?"

"Because I don't have any right," she wiped the corner of her eye. "I am a stranger after all."

He was visibly stunned. "You are my wife. How can you be a stranger?"

"O-of course I am. Mr. Li, the cheater says so…"

Li Tingzhe choked in his saliva as he looked at her horrified.

"Isn't it right, Mr. Li the cheater? You said that I don't have any right to interfere between you and Aunt. Though I am just trying to help Aunt because she suffered so much," she sniffled and rubbed her nose, "Clearly, I am not welcomed in this family…"

Jiang Fai's mouth heavily twitched seeing her drama.

Damn it, sister-in-law, you are...you are amazing!

Fu Renshu dryly looked at her in disdain.

Such acting!

The temperature dropped to a negative degree and Wei slowly turned his head, landing his murderous gaze on Li Tingzhe. His pair of emotionless black orbs clouded in alarm and bloodthirst.

"You said something to my wife?" The danger in his quiet and calm voice was as clear as day.

A shudder ran through his spine and Li Tingzhe almost pissed in his pants. His mouth opened and closed multiple times, stammering and stuttering. "I...I d-didn't…"

"You mean to say my wife is lying?" Wei's voice got even quieter than before, implying how dare he accuse Lihua.

Even the media reporters and other CEOs didn't dare utter anything. Hell they refused to even breathe!

Lihua was satisfied to see the messed-up expression on that cheater's face who looked as if he had seen a horror movie.

She didn't forget to pour oil into the fire. "And-and he refuses to divorce Aunt. Even though Fai Fai won, he is being mean to Aunt and ME."

She enunciated the last word to give the maximum impact, eliciting the most troubled expression she could give.

The Old Madam and Ruomei felt at a loss for words. She was twisting the words to get a dramatic effect and obviously, those tears were fake

Silence.

Wei tilted his head. "Are you signing the papers or should I make you?" His deadpan voice was more dangerous than any natural disaster.

Li Tingzhe gulped hard. Even Kang Yuming had an urge to fade in the background with such suffocating pressure.

"That wouldn't be a pleasant experience," he added.

Li Tingzhe, who was well aware of his status as the Mafia King, trembled in his place. He knew all sorts of torture the captives had to go through in his base. It was a bloodbath where even the most courageous man can go wimp.

He quickly weighed his options and even though he lamented letting go of Jiang Xiurang, he didn't want to experience hell. The Underworld was a dark place that only smelled and screamed of blood.

"I-I will! I will sign it!"

He tremblingly took the pen and wrote his name on the papers a sweat formed on his forehead.

"Done! I am done!" He wiped his forehead.

The Old Madam clenched her fists as pure anger consumed her.

As Jiang Xiurang saw the papers with their signatures, tears brimmed in her eyes. She was finally free. She was finally not Mrs. Li anymore. Even though she had shed off that title long ago, she was still Mrs. Li in the world's eyes. That always made her feel as if she was shackled to him.

Jiang Fai cleared his throat and quietly hugged her. "It's over, Mom," he whispered.

She tearfully nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. "Yes…Thank you, Fai…"

"Don't be so emotional now. I cannot handle it."

She burst into a soft chuckle.

Li Tingzhe quickly said, "I-I will take my leave then."

Kang Yuming was shocked. "T-Tingzhe, we will come with you too."

"Shut up! Take your useless children and get lost! Don't look for me ever!"

Kang Hongqi and Kang Meifen felt as if the world crashed on them.

If he didn't take them, where would they go?

"Tingzhe don't say that…"

She followed him and the two teenagers rushed behind her. They were already humiliated enough for tonight.

The guards caught Li Tingzhe, stopping him from leaving the place. He panicked. "W-what's wrong? I signed the papers!"

Wei said, "I haven't yet punished you for making my wife cry."

Lihua coughed hard and looked away.

Cousin, do you really believe in her tears!? Jiang Fai seriously questioned Wei's brain's functioning.
