Chapter 359: The Mafia King's Awakening - Pain (6)

The next morning, Mr. Zhang hurriedly reached the lab after his wife said that everything that happened. The Zhang family was ready to take Lihua back to their home.

Bobo hopped into her arms and said, "Let's go back, Lihua! We have waited too long for this!"

She faintly smiled.

"Lihua…"

She trembled and saw Jiang Yubi staring at her with tears in her eyes. Everybody came to know about Lihua's decision. Somewhere in their hearts, they had expected it, but when it came out, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Mom…"

Lihua rushed into her embrace and hugged her hard. She buried her face and cried hard.

"Ssh. Don't cry, silly. It's not good. You have to take care of yourself now. Don't forget that you have a life inside your belly now."

Lihua bit her lip hard.

Her heart was filled with guilt and remorse. Not only was she leaving, but she was also taking away her child with her too. She knew how everybody was so delighted with the news.

Somebody was going to become a grandparent, somebody a grandaunt and somebody an uncle and aunt. Her baby had so many precious relationships, but she was taking away everything.

It must be hard for Jiang Yubi and Jiang Weizhe to not only separate from their beloved daughter-in-law but their grandchild too.

"I am sorry, Mom…"

Jiang Yubi anxiously said, "No, dear. Don't be sorry. It's your decision. Even if we…" tears streamed from her cheeks, "want you to keep living with us, we cannot do that. It would be unfair to you. And I stand by you. Wei has indeed made many grave mistakes…"

Her heart felt heavy as she admitted this.

"Wei had been selfish. Your decision is right, Lihua."

Lihua trembled.

The others felt extremely aggrieved as well, but there was nothing they could do. Jiang Lanying and Jiang Ruiling had tears in their eyes. Lihua was the light in their lives, and after today's divorce, that light was going to fade away.

They desperately wanted to clear the confusion about Jia misunderstanding Wei to be her parents' murderer, but they decided not to bring it in front of Lihua.

They were afraid that she would misunderstand him like her sister did. It also didn't seem that Lihua was aware of the history between the Song and the Jiang family. In such a condition when she was pregnant, they didn't want to give her any unnecessary stress about the past.

Also...even if Wei didn't kill her parents, it didn't erase the fact that he killed Jia.

Jiang Weizhe gently patted her head. Lihua hugged him too and sniffled. "Dad…"

"En. Don't cry," he wiped her eyes.

He wanted to admit that he knew everything from the beginning, too, just like Wei. But somehow, he couldn't gather the strength. He couldn't see his daughter hating him.

His gaze dimmed. "I am sorry, Lihua."

She furiously shook her head. "Don't say sorry, Dad. You have done nothing wrong."

His heart further twisted in guilt. He could only give a weak smile.

"In the future...can I still come to meet my grandchild? O-Only if you want, though…" he quickly corrected himself.

The nervousness in his eyes could make anybody roll in extreme pain.

"You don't have to ask, Dad," she gasped. "Things might be... difficult between Wei and me, but that doesn't mean it will break your ties with the baby. He still has a very big family!"

It was a long time in years that his eyes were wet. The last time he had cried was when he had held Wei when he was a baby and when he had seen Jiang Yubi almost on her deathbed.

His fingers trembled as he patted his cheeks. "E-En…"

As Lihua passed the door, she saw Mingshen standing at a corner, leaning on the wall and observing her.

She faced him and remembered all the time they had bickered and fought.

"I truly thought of you as my friend."

He said nothing.

She sadly smiled. "But I guess until the very end, I was just a source for you for getting more money from Wei."

Silence.

"Be it was giving stupid love advice to him or erasing my memory."

Mingshen didn't retort.

Lihua lowered her head. "Thank you for taking care of my child and me yesterday. He is safe because of you. But I know it's not for free."

She trembled, and as a tear plopped down, she said, "I-I don't have any money on me right now. I also don't want to give you Wei's money for helping me. I don't want to be in your debt, and I will repay your favor with my own money. I would be grateful if you could give me some time. I will earn and pay you back for these days I was in your care."

Mr. Zhang said, "How can you say that Lihua? Your Uncle is here. You don't need to pay anything!"

Mrs. Zhang and Bobo seriously nodded.

She smiled. "Thank you, Uncle. But I want to do this on my own."

Mingshen's mouth twitched.

Somehow, he felt an annoying feeling surging in his chest, seeing her act so calculative.

He sneered. "Get lost. I don't need a dumb woman's money. Who knows if I get infected by your dumbness virus? Alas, dumbness has no cure yet. Keep that money to yourself. You are going to need a lot of it, especially for raising 'your' child who is gonna become your mirror image," he smiled.

Lu Bojing, who was with him, couldn't help but grimace.

Boss, can't you just nicely say that you actually don't want her money because you care about her? At least a little bit…

Lihua said nothing.

Then she whispered, "I will pay you in installments. Like I said, I don't want to be in your debt."

She walked away with the Zhang and Jiang family following her.

As they were left alone, Lu Bojing couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why didn't you say that you never took money from Mr. Jiang for erasing her memories?"

Mingshen glanced at him. "Does it matter?"

He was silent.

Money taken or not; he had still helped Wei.

Mingshen heavily sighed and clicked his tongue in disdain and irritation.

"Tch. Both these sisters are so annoying today…"
