Chapter 78: The Mafia King Who Is In The Dark

Wei had taken into account that even if he destroyed his phone, Mo Huojin could have already memorized her number. So, if he managed to escape under an exceptional case, he could just buy a new phone and sim and still contact Lihua. So, the only way was to destroy Lihua's number. There was another option by which Lihua could buy a replacement sim with the same number. But he would be there not to make that happen.

As for Lihua, he was pretty much sure that she hadn't memorized Mo Huojin's number. She wasn't that type. There was also the thing that they knew each other's addresses where they lived, but he decided to take care of that matter too.

So in this way, a jealous Mafia King cut off all the sources of Mo Huojin and Lihua contacting ever again.

When Lihua came back, she was stunned to see her phone lying on the floor. "What happened to my phone?"

Wei sincerely said as he lowered his head. "It's my fault. Your phone slipped from my hands and it broke a bit."

His facial muscles didn't even twitch as he smoothly lied.

"Oh. It's okay."

Wei quickly picked her phone. "Your phone is fine. But your sim card broke," he tilted his head, observing her reaction.

"Ah? How can a sim card break?" She scratched her chin in confusion as she held the broken pieces in her palm.

"It happens. It did with Renshu once."

Wei didn't feel even a little bit ashamed, lying at the cost of his assistant.

"Really?" She sighed. "Well, now I have to buy a new sim."

"I will take care of it," he immediately said.

"No, Boss. It's just a sim card. I will do it."

Wei remained stubborn. "Let me do it. It broke because of me. I will compensate."

"Okay…"

Wei nodded. He softly smiled and leaned towards her. "Be ready at seven tomorrow."

Lihua got a little uncomfortable, nevertheless, she smiled. "Hm."

Tomorrow…Tomorrow it will all end.

The next morning, preparations began in the Jiang villa as soon as dawn broke out. The Old Madam didn't want any part of the ceremony to lack anywhere, so the whole family got quickly busy.

"Jiang family has a reputation to uphold in front of everyone," The Old Madam coldly said as she warned all the maids and butlers. "There must not be any place for even a single mistake in tonight's ceremony. Otherwise, get ready to offer your heads as the price."

The staff turned a little pale with her threat. The added pressure to serve all the guests was insurmountable.

The undercover agent Nuan, dressed as a maid, looked around but didn't see Song Jia. She got anxious and just hoped in her heart that Lihua read her letter.

The guard came and respectfully said, "Old Madam. The Shi family is here."

She didn't acknowledge him and simply walked away. Outside, Ruomei was shocked to see that the preparations for the engagement ceremony were already halfway done. She looked at the center podium and her heart beat faster, imagining Wei and her standing there as they exchanged rings.

Just a few hours more and then Wei is officially mine.

The Shi family greeted the Old Madam.

Shi Zhen smiled. "I hope you are in good health, Old Madam. I have done all the preparations and invitations from our end."

Shi Cuifen nodded.

There wasn't any change in her cold expression as she looked at Ruomei, "Shi Ruomei. Start getting ready. You have to dress up as per the Jiang family standards. You are our future daughter-in-law. There should be no mistake," she narrowed her eyes.

She nodded. "Yes, Old Madam."

Shi Zhen felt a little awkward at her ignorance, but he couldn't say anything. Everybody knew how the Old Madam was.

The Old Madam squinted her gaze. "Fu Renshu."

He straightened up. "Yes, Old Madam!"

"Where is Wei? I don't need to spell out his responsibilities right?" Her gaze darkened.

"No, Old Madam. Boss is on his way! Rest assured."

She sneered. "The Mafia King seems to be taking the family law too lightly."

He broke out into a cold sweat, but he maintained his smile. The Shi family and the Old Madam left. Fu Renshu let out a deep breath. As he saw the preparations going underway, he couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

"Why hasn't Boss taken any action until yet? Today is his engagement but…"

For the past seven days, he patiently waited for Wei, expecting that he would soon do something about his engagement to stop it. But the days just passed by and Wei did nothing. He didn't even seem bothered.

He wanted to sob.

What is happening? Doesn't Boss like Song Lihua? So, why isn't he doing anything about this engagement? He cannot be possibly thinking of going along with it, right?

No no! It's impossible! Boss hasn't allowed any woman to approach him except Song Lihua.

Ahhh! What should I do?

The more the arrangements went on full swing, the more Fu Renshu panicked.

I cannot sit around like this! I have to ask Boss! What is he planning?

---

Fu Renshu quickly rushed to the office, but to his shock, Wei wasn't there. The secretary said, "Boss didn't come to work today."

But he didn't tell me! Is he at his apartment?

He quickly dialed his number. At first, Wei didn't pick, but finally, at his third attempt, Wei did. He sounded a little in a hurry and displeased. "Renshu. I will not be working today."

Fu Renshu burst into tears. "Boss! Finally! Where are you? What are you doing? Why haven't you done anything yet? It will be too late!"

Wei blinked his eyes. "Haven't done anything? I have already done most of the preparations for the special day today."

He was stunned.

What preparations!?

"Y-You are also doing the preparations?"

"En."

"B-But how could you? What about Song Lihua? I thought you…"

"Lihua? En. She will be really happy once she sees it," He sounded proud.

"What? Why would Song Lihua be happy with the arrangements? She would be so heartbroken, Boss! How could she see you getting engaged to Miss Shi Ruomei and feel happy about it?"

On the other side, Wei's brows faintly scrunched up. "Engaged? Shi Ruomei? I don't understand."

Fu Renshu's mouth opened in a big 'O' in disbelief. "B-Boss your engagement with Miss Shi tonight…Aren't you doing preparations regarding that?"

"No. Why would I do anything for Shi Ruomei?" Wei calmly questioned his assistant.

Fu Renshu almost collapsed on the floor. He clutched his chest and felt his heart thumping loudly and rapidly. Beads of sweat trickled down his sides. One ridiculous question popped up in his mind.

He fearfully asked, "Boss...you...you do know that tonight you have the engagement ceremony with Miss Shi, right?"

Wei frowned and tilted his head. "Engagement ceremony? Why would I get engaged with her? Lihua is my woman. Only she can be my wife. I don't know anything about this engagement you speak of."

At that moment, Fu Renshu truly wanted to kill himself and bid goodbye to this world. He could see stars floating in front of his eyes, and his whole life flash in his mind as if he was taking his last breaths. Considering how he felt suffocated right now, he could be very well dying for real.

The secretary had to support him. "Assistant Fu! Please hold yourself! What happened?"

"Haha...hahaha…" Fu Renshu laughed though it failed to match his pale countenance. "So this is what hell feels like huh…"

The secretary was speechless.

What happened to him so suddenly?

Fu Renshu sobbed and told him to leave him alone for a while. As soon as he left, he cried hard. "Boss! How don't you know about your engagement? You had agreed to this yourself at the time when Old Madam announced Miss Shi as your fiance. The Shi family was there too. You had nodded your head in agreement."

"When?"

Wei's one innocent question struck lightning upon Fu Renshu. He felt as if every cell of his body was cruelly zapped by a thousand bolts of thunder.

When…? Boss is asking when? How could Boss forget!?

"B-Boss this discussion just happened a day after-" he hesitated a bit, "after Song Jia's death…"

Silence on the other end.

"So?"

"So? Boss, don't you remember that day? The Jiang and the Shi family were present and the Old Madam said that she chose Miss Shi Ruomei as your wife. The Old Madam *cough* didn't ask your opinion about it, but when Mr. Shi Zhen did, you nodded your head!"

*Flashback*

The Old Madam stated that Ruomei and Wei would marry soon. Of course, she didn't bother to ask Wei. That was her order. Plain and simple.

Wei was seated on the main couch where Fu Renshu respectfully stood beside him. He was taken aback by the sudden announcement.

Boss's marriage huh…

He glanced at Wei and noticed that he barely had his attention on the discussion. Instead, he was seemingly focused on his phone.
