The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 218 - The Real Drama (1)

*Present*

Jiang Weiyuan narrowed his eyes at the stranger and asked, "What is going on here?"

The guests whispered amongst themselves.

"Yeah, I don\'t understand this scene…"

Another one coughed. "I thought that we would get to see something juicy if you know what I mean."

"Jiang Ruiling involved in some scandalous issue? Seems a little difficult to digest…"

Lihua got up and faced him. "Uncle, something terrible almost happened to Jiang Ruiling! Thank God she is safe now or else...I wouldn\'t have imagined the consequences," she showed a solemn expression.

Ruomei felt panic rise in her chest seeing her hired goon\'s state like that.

Damn, how did this happen?

The most important question in her mind was whether he spilled out her involvement or not.

Jiang Lanying rushed to her side and asked, "Are you okay, Ruiling?"

Jiang Ruiling slowly nodded.

Jiang Li\'s frosty expression plummeted the room\'s temperature. He alternated his glance between that goon and his sister and coldly said, "Come to the point."

Lihua glared at the unconscious goon and said, "This man barged into Jiang Ruiling\'s room and tried to assault her!"

Everybody sharply gasped.

The Old Madam was dumbfounded. "What!?"

Lihua nodded. "Yes. Wei and I came here to check on Lihua when we saw this happen. But thankfully, Lihua was there in the room and saved Jiang Ruiling by viciously attacking that man!" She proudly grinned. "Shen Yang also came at the right time."

Then she coughed. "But then in the darkness, I accidentally stumbled and fell on Jiang Ruiling. So, you all saw us... *cough* Like I said, it was really an accident!"

Though it wasn\'t. Lihua had planned that to fool Shi Ruomei and Wen Yaoting into thinking for a few moments that they won by seeing Jiang Ruiling on the bed. She wanted them to fly and then have a crash landing.

*Meow*

Lihua, the cat\'s ears twitched as soon as she heard her name.

Am I being praised? Good, good. Praise me more, you peasant.

There was a prideful expression on her face as she arrogantly raised her head.

Mingshen snorted.

You traitor using my training and teachings to attack someone and now that dumb woman is hogging all the praise.

He clicked his tongue.

Tsk, tsk. But you have gotten weak. Since when did you leave your prey alive? He sneered.

The guests were speechless.

A cat saved the day?

Ruomei and Wen Yaoting\'s condition was even worse than the others.

He leaned and whispered, "What the fuck? How can this small cat fight a man weighing one-seventy pounds! Is that woman dumb?"

Ruomei\'s mouth twitched. "...Don\'t underestimate her. She was actually Mingshen\'s cat. I don\'t know how she ended up in Lihua\'s hands. You know how eccentric Mingshen is, right? It is not hard to think that he would have raised his cat like him too…"

He gritted his teeth.

Wen Yaoting thought for a moment and hurriedly walked up to her. He plastered a distressed expression on his face as he said, "Oh my God, Jiang Ruiling! I cannot believe something so big happened to you… Are you okay? It must be so traumatizing. Should we go to the hospital for a checkup? What if you are hurt? Don\'t worry about our engagement. We can just postpone it. Your safety is more important."

Seeing this behavior, everybody was really impressed by Wen Yaoting.

"Wow, they hardly know each other and he is already so understanding."

"He is even ready to postpone his engagement."

"You don\'t find good men like these days anymore…"

"But I heard that Wen Yaoting is a womanizer."

"I think he really changed after meeting Jiang Ruiling. Look, how caring he is towards her."

One of the jealous socialites rolled her eyes and sneered. "Yeah yeah, why would anyone not like Jiang Ruiling? She always gets the best of everything, doesn\'t she?"

The Old Madam raised her hand as her gaze turned cold and stern. "Wait."

That brought upon silence in the room.

She looked at Jiang Ruiling and asked, "How did this man get a chance to enter your room in the first place? Wasn\'t Shen Yang on guard outside your room? Where was he when this happened?"

Shen Yang felt anxious about what was going to come next.

Jiang Ruiling silently took a deep breath. "It\'s because I sent him away."

The Old Madam widened her eyes. "Huh? Why would you do that?"

She raised her head and faced Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Ninghong. "Mom, Dad," she glanced at Jiang Li, "Bro. I have to confess something."

Jiang Ninghong squinted her gaze. "What confession?"

"I had planned for this to happen and staged everything. The difference being...it was supposed to be Wen Yaoting instead of this unknown man."

Ruomei watched her reveal her plan in utter shock.

She actually confessed!? Why would she do this?

The Old Madam stood frozen as if lightning struck her. "What!?"

The guests jolted by her loud voice while also equally aghast at Jiang Ruiling\'s bold confession.

Wen Qiang and his wife looked at her in horror. "Wen Yaoting instead of that man? What do you mean by that?"

Wen Yaoting feigned surprise as well. "Yes, Jiang Ruiling. I don\'t understand…"

The Old Madam roared. "Explain yourself!"

Jiang Ruiling calmly looked at everyone. "Yes, I planned this to cancel my engagement to Wen Yaoting. I spiked his drink, arranged for a waiter to bring him to my room so that I could record his actions of trying to assault me in his drunken state."

Everybody was bewildered.

Wen Qiang angrily asked, "What? Why would you plan something like that?"

"Because I wanted to break this engagement. I don\'t want to marry Wen Yaoting."

The Old Madam\'s expression turned ugly. "Don\'t want to marry him? Have you lost it?"

She trembled.

Jiang Li stepped in front of her. "Explain, Ruiling."

"Bro," she bit her lip, "at first I wanted to marry Wen Yaoting by my choice. But then…" her eyes teared up, "I got to know that Wen Yaoting still gets intimate with other women even after our engagement is announced. How can I bear to see my future husband flirting with other women? I was heartbroken, but I didn\'t dare tell this anyone...For the sake of Old Madam\'s reputation, I kept silent. But tonight once again, I saw him flirt with a waitress, and I couldn\'t do it anymore. So I planned this."
