The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 274 - Wrong Time

When Lihua returned from the Yang mansion, she pulled Jiang Fai to the side and asked, "FaiFai!" She eagerly said, "Take me to the other residence."

He furrowed his brows. "Other residence?"

"En. Where my mother-in-law lives."

He widened his eyes. "Ah? You want to meet Aunt Yubi?"

She nodded.

Jiang Fai hesitated. "I don't think you should. Old Madam has strictly not allowed anybody from the main residence to meet her."

He lowered his head. "Though it's sad, we cannot do anything. Apart from Uncle Weizhe, nobody can meet her and if anyone does, then Old Madam will heavily punish that person."

Lihua pouted. "No way. I want to meet my mother-in-law and I will. Nobody can stop me!"

Jiang Fai sighed. He looked left and right and cleared his throat. "Well if you want to meet Aunt, it's not impossible...There is a secret way."

Her eyes sparkled. "Secret way!?"

"Ssh!! You cannot shout!" He whispered.

Lihua coughed and scratched her chin. "S-sorry. Tell me about it."

---

From the backyard of the Jiang family's garden, there was a small, narrow path that led to a distance. It was quite old and unused and not blatantly visible which is why it was hidden out of sight for so long.

Lihua walked through the path that felt like a century to her.

"Ugh...is that mansion that far? Old Madam really wants to cut her to this extent?"

Finally at a distance, she saw another garden similar to the one that was back in Jiang villa. It was bloomini with beautiful roses, lilies, chrysanthemums and many different flowers that she had never seen before.

The residence was so breathtaking that she paused to admire its beauty. The sweet smell of the flowers twitched her nostrils and she felt her heart at peace.

The garden alone was so beautiful and pretty that she felt like she could gaze at it forever. At one glance, it was evident how much the flowers and plants were cared for.

As expected of my mother-in-law who ran a flower shop before. This is amazing!

She wanted to head straight for the mansion but she couldn't help but divert her path towards the garden just to take a closer look at them.

"Jiang Lanying would really enjoy being with Mom, right? She also likes gardening."

When she slowly stepped into the mansion, she peeked her head inside and said, "Hello?"

But nobody answered her. She looked here and there but couldn't find any maids inside.

"Are all maids on leave?" She tilted her head questioningly.

Lihua walked inside and found the hall to be completely empty. So, she climbed up the stairs and looked for her room.

Where does Mom stay?

As she walked through a corridor, she found a room whose door was slightly ajar. Lihua beamed as she thought that she finally found her room.

Mother-in-law, here I come!

She hopped near it and as she was about to knock on the door, she saw another tall shadow inside.

Ah?

As she curiously peeked inside, her eyes popped out of her sockets and she lost her balance so hard that she stumbled inside the room.

Jiang Yubi jolted in shock with the sudden noise and turned her head to see the source of it.

Lihua froze and there was a long awkward silence in the room. Jiang Weizhe looked at her, surprised. "You?"

Lihua gulped and her smile faltered. When she had peeked inside, she had seen the forbidden scene of her in-laws kissing each other. Jiang Weizhe was passionately kissing his wife that shocked her out of her wits. That was the last scene she had expected to witness.

Ahhhh!!! What did I see!? I came at the wrong time, damn it! Mom and Dad...ah ah!!!

She thought that she lost all her face in front of them. She blushed hard and her cheeks turned all red. But the one with even redder cheeks was none other than Jiang Yubi.

To think that somebody saw them kissing…

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't even look her in the eye.

The only calm person in that situation was Jiang Weizhe who apparently was unaffected by Lihua'# intrusion.

He tilted his head. "Lixue."

Lihua tried her hardest to smile but she couldn't. She was trembling at her place and lacked tears to shed.

What did I do? What did I do!? I thought Dad was at the office!

She nervously chuckled as she wiped her forehead. "Haha...Hahaha...D-Dad…"

He nodded and softly smiled. "En.'

"I-I-I am so sorry! I really didn't that you...you were *cough cough*"

Jiang Yubi now covered her face with her hands. Apart from Jiang Weizhe, nobody ever came into this mansion. There were also very few maids but she had given them a holiday today. So they didn't bother to close the door…

Lihua peeked at her and saw her refusing to look at her. She inwardly sobbed.

No! This is supposed to be our first meeting! Mom and I were supposed to bond as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. What have I done!? I have already lost points before I could even talk to her!

Jiang Weizhe said, "Come inside."

"No, I think I should definitely leave!"

Hearing that, Jiang Yubi sobbed even harder.

Lihua bit her tongue.

Ahh did I say that out loud!? Mingshen is right! I am the dumbest person in the entire universe!

Jiang Weizhe tilted his head. "Why would you leave?"

"..."

He walked towards her and smiled as he patted her head. "You came at the right time. I was talking to Yubi about you only."

Lihua coughed again.

Y-you surely weren't talking when I came inside…

"I-I see…" she wiped her forehead.

Jiang Weizhe turned and said, "Yubi. She is Lixue, our daughter-in-law."

Jiang Yubi awkwardly smiled. "I…That...Sure…"

Lihua cried.

I made our first meeting so awkward! Why!?

When Jiang Yubi finally came to her senses after being thoroughly embarrassed, she noticed one odd thing.

"Lixue? How can that be your name? Aren't you…"
