The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 198 - Something Cooking

At those words, Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Ninghong slightly narrowed their eyes. Jiang Ruiling's elder brother, Jiang Li, paused his movements and his attention went over to Lihua.

The Old Madam chuckled. "Excuse me? What Jiang Ruiling feels? Why should I ask that?"

"Because she is getting married to Wen Yaoting," Lihua dryly said.

"And I have decided this marriage tie up which will not change," she sharply said.

Lihua challenged her. "Even if I say that Wen Yaoting tried to touch her inappropriately?"

There was complete silence. The atmosphere suddenly turned stagnant.

It was the first time in all this while that Jiang Weiyuan finally spoke, "Explain."

It was just one word, yet its ring was so powerful and carried such deadly pressure that even Lihua was startled.

She cleared her throat. "Well… Wei and I were out for some shopping and by coincidence, we saw Jiang Ruiling and Wen Yaoting in the restaurant."

Of course, she wouldn't admit that they were out to spy on them.

"To our shock, Wen Yaoting was casually trying to hold Jiang Ruiling's hand. I mean even if you have decided on this marriage, isn't it inappropriate for him to act this way? They are not even engaged and it's not gentlemanly to touch his date on the first meeting without her permission. Jiang Ruiling was clearly uncomfortable."

The Old Madam widened her eyes.

Indeed, according to their Jiang family's customs, she would never allow for such closeness and intimacy before the engagement ceremony is done.

If only she knew that Wei already slept with Lihua before getting married, she would surely get a heart attack.

"If not for our capable bodyguard Shen Yang who stopped him in time, Jiang Ruiling would have suffered," her brows furrowed in extreme distress. "Right, Wei?"

Wei nodded in agreement. "Yes."

Now that the Mafia King had spoken, the gravity of the situation turned even more serious.

Lihua added. "I am really impressed by Shen Yang. He diligently did his duty to protect Jiang Ruiling. But Wen Yaoting! From what Wei and I saw, it seemed that he was really angry at Shen Yang for stopping him. How insolent. First, he tries to touch her inappropriately and then he lashes out at poor Shen Yang who was just doing his job. Shen Yang is such a great man. Even though he knew he could offend Wen Yaoting and face his wrath, he still protected Jiang Ruiling."

Jiang Ruiling observed Lihua singing praises for Shen Yang and understood her intention.

Jiang Weiyuan's unreadable gaze fell upon his daughter. "Ruiling."

"Yes, Dad."

"What do you have to say?" He quietly asked.

She smiled. "Indeed it is true. I thought it was supposed to be a formal meeting just to get to know each other a little. But Wen Yaoting… he did try to hold my hand which was very unexpected on his part. It's okay, Dad. I don't mind it. Plus, Shen Yang handled it. If Old Madam has chosen him for me, then I am rest assured. After all, mistakes happen."

Lihua almost choked. She was so shell-shocked by her response that she wanted to faint.

Wait a second! This is not going according to the script!

Jiang Ruiling would have obviously understood Lihua's intentions to stop these discussions about Wen Yaoting and her marriage. She expected her to support her and take this as a chance to get out of this mess.

But now she said that it didn't matter? Wouldn't it make the Old Madam not give any seriousness to the situation?

Lihua furiously pulled Wei's coat. "Wei! What is Jiang Ruiling doing? She is supposed to take advantage of this! This is a golden chance for her to prove how unsuitable Wen Yaoting is!"

It came as a surprise to Wei as well. Here they saw how much she loved Shen Yang. She even wanted to give him her first time. She had admitted it herself that this marriage was a compromise.

But now she suddenly changed her words.

The only thing Wei was sure of was that she had carefully planned her response. Even though the chance was right in front of her, she wasn't taking it for some reason.

Jiang Weiyuan narrowed his eyes and said nothing further.

The Old Madam was pleased with Jiang Ruiling's answer. "This is what I call being mature. It was a small mistake and there is no need to make a mountain out of a molehill. But some people here only know to bring unrest in the family," her cold gaze landed on Lihua.

"I am warning you, Lixue. If you make any mess in this matter, you will have to pay a heavy price."

Wei squinted his eyes. "Try that and you will have to face before you even touch her. I won't tolerate any threats against my wife."

Her face turned red and livid and anger.

Lihua suddenly said, "I am not making any mess! Wen Yaoting is not a good man for Jiang Ruiling. He has had so many flings and he changes women as if they are toys! His business decisions have only brought losses to the Wen group. He is just another Li Tingzhe! Do you want to repeat the tragedy that Aunt Xiurang had to suffer? How is he good for Jiang Ruiling in any sense?"

Jiang Xiurang's expression turned grave. She couldn't believe that the Old Madam would find such a man for Jiang Ruiling too.

"Lixue! Don't you dare challenge my patience! I bore enough of your nonsense with how you interfered with Xiurang's marriage! If you played any tricks this time, then you will have it from me!"

She announced. "As Ruiling said, it's not a big deal so forget what happened. Wen Yaoting and her engagement will go as planned."

She turned and left in a huff.

Lihua anxiously looked at the elder Jiang couple. "Uncle Weiyuan, Aunt Ninghong. Do you also think that Wen Yaoting is suitable for your daughter? As her parents, do you really want to hand her over to a man like that?"

Jiang Ninghong lifted her calm gaze. She stared at her daughter for a second before she looked back at Lihua and smiled. "I trust my daughter's decision."
