The Old Madam's chilly gaze made Jiang Xiurang feel suffocated. There would be consequences if she went against her was something she understood clearly.

And…

Jiang Xiurang quickly said, "Enough Lixue! I have been listening to your nonsense for quite some time, but I have lost all my patience now. Leave me and my son alone. I said this yesterday too! I understand all your schemes! Don't dare target me and my son."

The Old Madam smiled in satisfaction.

Lihua widened her eyes and looked at her, stunned. "Why wouldn't you want a divorce? How can you remain married to a cheater? Aunt, I know you-"

"It's none of your business!" She shook hard and exclaimed. Her furious gaze glowered at her. "Stay out of my life. Whether I divorce or stay married, it's my choice!"

Ruomei gently held her shoulders and stared at Lihua in disdain and anguish. "Enough Lixue. I know that you have your challenge to win. But you are going too far now. You are hurting Aunt and forcing yourself into her life. She said she doesn't want to divorce Uncle Li Tingzhe, so why are you insisting? Lixue...I cannot believe you will use Aunt to gain your foothold in this house!"

She softly whispered, "Don't worry, Aunt. I won't let Lixue trouble you anymore."

With a reassuring voice and a gentle smile, she tried to calm her down. The Old Madam nodded her head in appreciation.

Suddenly, a cold and quiet voice rang in the air, making the atmosphere still. "If Aunt doesn't want a divorce, I suggest she returns to Uncle's side."

Silence.

Wei, who was calmly listening to the whole argument, finally spoke his mind. His sharp and unreadable gaze fell upon Jiang Xiurang. His calm countenance seemed regal and majestic. Lihua was utterly taken aback by his statement.

What is he saying?

Jiang Xiurang slowly lifted her head and her horrified gaze met his expressionless one. "W-what?"

Jiang Fai was appalled.

Wei said, "You don't want a divorce. Then I don't see a point for you in staying here anymore."

His harsh words cut through her heart like a knife. She turned as white as a sheet. Jiang Fai angrily laughed and as he gritted his teeth, he blew up. "Hah! That is what you really want, don't you! You cannot just wait to throw us out of this house! You bastard is just taking advantage of this situation!"

Wei was unfazed by his curses and yelling. It hardly affected him.

"Jiang Fai!" The Old Madam coldly said, "Don't forget that you are talking to the Mafia King. How dare you raise your voice? Do you want me to show you what happens when you step out of your line?"

Jiang Xiurang paled and she quickly stopped her son. "Fai! Don't be disrespectful to Wei! He is your elder cousin."

"Elder cousin my foot! Don't dump those relationships onto me! I don't care about anyone here. Everybody is a selfish bastard here," he sneered. "And then have the nerve to say that I am rebellious? What a joke!"

*SLAP*

The Old Madam slapped hard on his cheek which harshly tilted his head to the side. Startled, Lihua widened her eyes.

"Fai!" Jiang Xiurang burst into tears. "Old Madam-"

"Shut up! It's because of you that he has grown up this way! Not only were you a pathetic wife, but a pathetic mother too!"

Tears streamed down her cheeks and she gasped. She bit her lip, feeling ashamed.

Ruomei pursed her lips. She anxiously urged, "Fai, please don't take out Lixue's anger on Wei…" she glared at her, "Are you happy now, Lixue? You raked up an argument in this house which had never happened before you stepped in."

Lihua was speechless. This woman just wants everything to be pinned on me!

Jiang Fai's eyes turned red and swollen in fury. His cheek stung in pain. But he couldn't talk back no matter how much he wanted.

The Old Madam said, "Wei said nothing wrong. Xiurang has been here for eleven years already and that is enough mooching off the Jiang family!"

Lihua stepped forward and was about to speak up when Wei gently held her hand and pulled her back. He shook his head. She bit her lip and said nothing.

"She is not going to divorce, so she should return to Li Tingzhe's side as soon as possible!"

Hearing that, Jiang Fai stormed away, cursing everybody.

Outside, Lihua asked, "Why did you say that to Aunt? You don't want her to leave too, right? Obviously, Aunt doesn't want to go back either!"

Wei stared at Lihua's angry but adorable expression that puffed up her cheeks and he couldn't help but plant a soft kiss on her lips.

"..."

She blushed and actually wanted to kiss him for a bit longer. But this wasn't the time.

Lihua pouted. "I am serious here!"

Wei smiled. "Some things don't move if they aren't threatened."

Her brows knitted together. She touched her chin in confusion. "I don't understand."

Fu Renshu's mocking voice came, "It's because you are dumb."

"..."

Lihua was indignant as she stared at him, feeling wronged. "What do you mean? I am not dumb!"

He snorted. "Sure you aren't."

Wei and Fu Renshu left, leaving Lihua in a mystery. She looked back at the two thugs from Shadow Eagle who were quietly guarding her and asked, "Did you two understand what Wei meant?"

They seemed to be in deep thought.

"Lady Boss!"

"Yes!" She gleamed in anticipation.

"We understand nothing!"

"..."

She sighed.

"Boss is really mysterious. We have heard that there is always some meaning behind his actions."

The second thug nodded, "The leader said that unfortunately, dumb people don't understand it. That's why, we cannot understand his awesomeness."

!!!

They are blatantly calling me dumb!

She wished to hide her face in the ground and die of embarrassment.

Later in the afternoon, the landline phone chimed. Lihua was already in the hall, so she was the first to pick. "Hello?"

"I am the principal of XX school. Can I speak to Jiang Fai's mother?"
