Chapter 230 - The Mafia King Will Only Support His Wife
Jiang Lanying slowly raised her head and looked at her in horror.
D-divorce…? ??
Her face turned ashen upon hearing this.
After the Old Madam stormed off, there was a deep silence. Jiang Li glanced at his wife who was shivering slightly. He almost reached his hand to touch her shoulder, but then he slowly retracted it.
His gaze lowered. Without saying anything, he left too.
Lihua quickly went over to Jiang Lanying's side. "Don't be afraid, okay? Don't worry about Old Madam's threat. That was a rude one! Nobody will let you divorce Jiang Li."
She bit her lip.
Jiang Weiyuan walked up to her and slowly patted her head. "En. Like Li said, it's between you and him. Don't think about her."
Jiang Lanying widened her eyes at his gesture. She felt his warm pats on her head.
Lihua beamed seeing him console her.
See? Showing concern isn't difficult, right?
Jiang Weiyuan slightly coughed. Jiang Ninghong seriously nodded as well. "There is no pressure for a child, Lanying."
Jiang Fai harrumphed. "Yes! Old Madam is so old-fashioned! It's the couple who decides. Other people have no business in it."
Jiang Xiurang warmly smiled. "En. You know how Old Madam is. Leave it be."
Lihua smiled. "We are all with you, Jiang Lanying. Right, Wei?"
She eagerly glanced at him. Wei furrowed his brow and said, "I will only support my wife."
"..."
Everybody coughed hard. Lihua's mouth twitched.
I don't think there is a limit to my husband's coddling.
"I really appreciate it, Wei but Jiang Lanying needs our support right now."
Wei was about to say something when Lihua secretly threw daggers at him. "We WILL give her all the support, including YOU, right?"
The words promptly went back and somehow, Wei got the cue looking at Lihua's expression that he should be really nodding his head right now.
So he did.
Phew.
"See?" Lihua grinned.
Jiang Lanying faintly smiled. "Th-Thank you all...I will head back to my room. I feel tired."
She quickly rushed away and everyone saw her hiding her tears as she ran.
Lihua pursed her lips. "How can Old Madam be so vicious!?"
Jiang Ruiling smiled. "That's Old Madam for you."
Shen Yang also felt the situation was quite pitiful.
Lihua sighed.
There were already tensions in their relationship and now suddenly, a child got added into a mix.
First, they should sort out their marriage. Only then they would be able to think of a child happily, she thought.
She said, "I will talk to Jiang Lanying again."

"That's it! I have decided!"
After churning her brain for hours, Meng Ya finally came to a solution.
She gnashed her jaw. "If I have to get out of this hooligan's place, then I would have to accept his damn condition!"
Meng Ya had tried several tricks and methods to escape Fu Renshu's home, but the security was so tight that she didn't get any chance. The maids were on high alert too because he had already warned them that she was a troublemaker.
It was hard for Meng Ya to get anything done under their watchful scrutiny.
"Even the staff is filled with hooligans! How can they see a young beautiful woman forcibly locked up in someone's house? Doesn't anybody have a conscience? But now I have decided!"
Fu Renshu had given her the choice of accepting his cheque and leaving the city.
She mumbled. "I don't have a choice now. I will pretend to accept his offer and leave, but then I will secretly return a few days later. And once I am back, I will tell Lihua everything! I will not let her stay with a liar who has definitely altered her memories somehow…"
Meng Ya smirked.
"Such an awesome plan! Why didn't I think of this before? I wasted my days in his house which has been nothing but a nightmare!"
Suddenly, the scene of him kissing her flashed through her mind and she froze.
"That is the most horrible memory I ever had!"
Contrary to her cursing, her cheeks were bright red.
Like hell it was something good! He took advantage of me!
She heard some muttering and whispering from outside and she frowned.
What is going on?
After much fighting with Fu Renshu, he finally allowed her to step out of the room, only to be tightly watched by all the maids and guards. Staying cooped up in the room became increasingly suffocating for her, so he compromised a little only on the condition that she would behave.
Meng Ya slowly peeked down from the corridor and was stunned to see a beautiful woman dressed in a pretty dress with high heels and makeup on. She gave off a mature and charming aura.
Who is this woman?
She lowered to look at herself and then she looked back at the woman.
"..."
The difference between us is…
Then she saw Fu Renshu coming in and she straightened up. She hid behind a pillar.
Wait. Why am I hiding behind a pillar?
She tried to listen to their conversation. But clearly, that woman brightened even more after seeing Fu Renshu.
Her mouth twitched.
No need to get so excited about seeing a hooligan. You need to get your eye checked.
But the expression on that woman's face hinted that maybe…
Does she like him?
.
.
.
.
Meng Ya snorted. "Hah! Who will like that stupid assistant who likes to keep girls locked up in his house?"
The woman and Fu Renshu seemed to be talking. He was clearly not in the mood, but the woman was acting clingy.
She sneered.
So this is your real face, Fu Renshu. You dare kiss me and now you are flirting with some other woman. Scum alert!
But what she saw next blew her mind off. Her eyes popped out of her sockets as she saw the woman pull his arm and kiss on his cheek. There was a sheepish smile on her lips.
Fu Renshu glared at her and pushed her away.
Meng Ya stood rooted to her spot. The scene of that woman kissing him replayed in her mind again and again.
What!?
