The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 253 - The Mafia King's Time To Shine

"Li!"

Jiang Li froze in his steps for a moment but he continued walking, ignoring her calls. ??

Lihua, who was holding Jiang Lanying's hand and helping her walk, fumed at Jiang Li's behavior. "Jiang Li! Why are you running away! Jiang Lanying wants to talk to you!"

A dry chuckle escaped and he curled his fingers together.

Lihua got even more furious by his ignorance. "Damn it he is acting as if deaf!"

Jiang Lanying slowly held her hand and said, "Lixue...I will go after him myself."

"No. You are hurt. It's painful for you to walk, right? How can I leave you alone?"

She shook her head. "Let me do this."

Lihua pursed her lips and let her go. At a distance, Jiang Li was speeding up and he was close to reaching his car.

"Li. Please listen to me," she said.

He didn't respond.

Jiang Lanying stumbled and kept walking amidst the pain in her ankle. It was slowly swelling, causing even more that rimmed her eyes in tears but she didn't give up.

"Li! I know you can hear me. Please can we just talk?"

Jiang Li opened the door to the driver's seat and sat inside. He looked at the rearview mirror and saw Jiang Lanying limping towards him, trying to call him out. He clutched the steering wheel hard. He started the engine and sped the car as he tore his gaze away from her.

"Li! Ow!"

Jiang Lanying fell on her knees as the pain was too hard to bear. Jiang Li saw her collapse from her distance.

"Lanying!"

The car slowed down, but he didn't stop. His chest filled with a suffocating feeling. He felt short of breath seeing her in pain but...

On the other side, Lihua helped Jiang Lanying once again. "Are you okay? You shouldn't walk so fast. You will aggravate your sprain. That Jiang Li is an idiot! How dare he ignore you and leave!?"

Jiang Lanying saw his car driving away. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she broke down.

"Li…"

Lihua quickly helped her to take a seat at a nearby bench. "Don't worry, Jiang Lanying. That stupid man cannot run away anywhere!"

Tears plopped on her dress as she lowered her head. Her lips trembled. Lai Chang's words resounded in her ears that cut straight through her heart.

'There are problems with Jiang Li!'

'He can never make her pregnant!'

'What? The mighty Jiang Li has problems in that area?'

''That is actually so embarrassing.'

'No wonder there isn't a child yet after two years…'

'So poor Jiang Li has been trying hard but it seems like his little brother is not in a good shape.'

She covered her ears as she desperately tried to stop those insults from raging her mind anymore.

Lihua asked, "Jiang Lanying. I understand what Jiang Li is going through and I understand the reason why he doesn't want to talk about it. But you don't want to give up, right?"

She shook her head. "I really want to talk to Li...But he is gone now," she sniffled.

Lihua declared. "Leave it up to me!"

She looked at Wei who was calmly standing behind her all this time. "Wei. Can you find out his whereabouts?"

"En," he nodded.

He quickly called Fu Renshu and ordered him to track Jiang Li's location.

"Lanying!"

Hou Zhenzhen came limping to her side. She anxiously said, "Lanying. On behalf of Chang, I apologize to you. He shouldn't have insulted Jiang Li like that-"

"Oh shut it!" Lihua glared at her. "Don't act so innocent and worried now for your cousin. You were enjoying everything just as everybody else. I bet that you might be even rejoicing when you misunderstood that Jiang Lanying had problems."

Hou Zhenzhen froze.

"H-How can you accuse me like that, Jiang Lixue," she sobbed, "Lanying is my cousin. Of course, I care about her."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. For now, just leave us alone and control your bastard of a fiance."

"You…"

"Get lost!" She roared

Hou Zhenzhen jolted and twisted her foot by accident. "Ahh!"

The pain was unbearable.

Lihua sneered. "Serves you right."

Jiang Lanying quietly said, "Zhenzhen please.. Right now, I don't want to talk to you or Lai Chang or anybody else. I just want to meet Li. Please leave me alone."

Hou Zhenzhen bit her lip and felt furious.

Wei received a ding and nodded. "Got it."

Lihua said, "Let's go."

They left a whimpering Hou Zhenzhen on her own and left the party venue.

---

Jiang Li had booked a room in a random hotel that was his present location right now. He checked in and threw the key at the side. He sat on the bed and rested his head in his hands.

She knows...she knows everything now…

The images of Jiang Lanying limping and running towards him in that delicate and painful condition flashed in his mind. Her shocked and stunned expression was deeply etched into his heart. The way she stared at him when the truth was out was still burning fresh in his mind. His heart raced faster and he punched a fist on the bed. His mind had turned blank and he didn't know what to do anymore.

But Lihua, who was standing at the hotel's entrance, knew what she had to do.

"I feel like twisting that idiot's ear so hard until he cries and begs me. But I will save that for later. For now, let Jiang Lanying have a chance to talk to him first."

Her gaze dimmed. "He won't let me in…"

"Well then we will make our way by hook or by crook. He has been silent enough for now. Now, he has to speak up!"

She looked at Wei and grinned. "Hubby~~ This is your time to shine~"

Wei chuckled seeing her cutesy act. "En."

Jiang Lanying asked, "Do you have something in mind?"

"Hoho~~ of course! It's simple but it's an awesome plan that will gain your entry in his room~"
