The Mafia King's First Love

Zhao Weisheng stared at her. He trembled and gasped softly.

Xiuying…Xiuying…

"Xiuying…?" His beautiful black irises gradually widened in disbelief

The name is his beloved…

It was her name that he was hearing for the first time in more than thirty years from someone other than himself.

His eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly looked up and down at Lihua. "How...How do you know her?" He whispered.

Watching his dazed and shocked expression, and the haziness that shone in his eyes made Lihua feel even more emotional. Here she had been missing Wei since their divorce, and it had hardly been two months. Even so, every moment was so painful and agonizing. To remember that she had to live her life without him always frightened her.

But what about Zhao Weisheng? What about Jiang Xiuying?

Their grief was much worse and much sorrowful than hers by a hundred fold. They had lived apart for more than thirty years. They bore separation for so long that she couldn't even imagine the pain they must have gone through.

Lihua thought about it.

At the very least, Jiang Xiuying was fortunate to live with her children and grandchildren. Even though circumstances made them resent her for all these years, she could still watch them grow in front of her eyes.

But what about Zhao Weisheng?

He was lonely all this time. Separated from Jiang Xiuying, his children and grandchildren…

He had every right to be with them and raise them with his beloved. But he missed all those years of watching them grow, see their happiness and get successful, see them getting married, see them having their own children, holding his grandchildren in his arms, playing and doting on them like a grandfather would - Zhao Weisheng had missed everything of a happy life he should have had.

Tears gushed out of her eyes even fiercer, and she cried hard.

"I am so sorry…" she kept wiping them, but they kept flowing.

Lu Bojing anxiously bent to her side. "D-Don't cry please...Not good for you."

Qingqing harrumphed and jumped on her lap.

*Meow*

She rubbed her head on her hand.

Zhao Weisheng blinked his eyes. He just asked a question, but he didn't understand why it made her cry even more.

Thinking that it was his fault, he panicked. "Did I do something wrong?" He paled. "I didn't mean to make you cry…"

Looking left and right, he hastily brought a glass of water for her. He gently said with a soft voice, "Here. Drink some water. You will feel better," he nodded.

As if a dam broke now, it was impossible for her to stop shedding tears now.

"You...You…" Lihua couldn't complete her sentence.

Zhao Weisheng stiffened. He pursed his lips, and his gaze dimmed. "I am really sorry…"

"No!" She exclaimed. "It's not your fault. I...I am just angry at the circumstances. I am furious how things should have been for you, and how they weren't. I am really, really mad right now. Why is God so unfair? How could he do this to you and Grandma? And you...You are so much like Wei. Or I should say Wei is like you."

"Wei?" He tilted his head questioningly.

"Look! Look! You even tilt your head like him. The way you purse your lips, and the way you look sad like a cute puppy is just like them! Why are you so adorable?" She sniffled.

"..."

Lu Bojing - "..."

Zhao Weisheng cleared his throat. "Who are them?"

"Wei and Dad. I mean your son, Jiang Weizhe and your grandson, Jiang Wei."

He froze. His heart skipped several beats.

"Weizhe…"

When was the last time I saw my son…?

His voice slightly choked. "Who are you, dear? How do you know about them?"

She smiled brightly. "I know about your family because you are my Grandpa!"

Zhao Weisheng widened his eyes. "Grandpa?"

He studied her again. Then his eyes were filled with tears. "You...are you my g-granddaughter? Y-you are Weizhe's daughter?"

She chuckled. "No. Didn't I tell you about Wei? He is your grandson. I am his-"

She froze.

His what?

Wife? They are divorced now. How could she call her his wife?

Then she remembered about Jiang Shan telling her about her parents's murder. Wei had killed her parents too.

Lu Bojing quickly held her palm. "Don't think about it," he whispered. "He-he is lying."

She faintly smiled.

Zhao Weisheng noticed her going paler. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

Lihua clenched her fist. "I am his...e-ex-wife…"

He blinked.

Ex-wife?

Does that mean they don't live together anymore?

He saw her sorrowful gaze and understood it immediately. She loved him. A lot. He didn't know what happened between them, but his heart ached seeing her gaze dim. She was so excited a moment ago and now…

He hesitated but then gently patted her head. "It's okay."

That means… That means she is my granddaughter-in-law!

He didn't think 'was'. It was 'is.' He didn't know about her circumstances, but to him, Lihua was already his granddaughter-in-law.

Happiness knew no bounds. He finally met one of his family members. He couldn't express his bliss. His heart was overwhelmed with joy.

Lihua quickly wiped her eyes.

Lu Bojing eagerly said, "Y-you will also be happy to know that...that she is pregnant."

Lihua slightly blushed.

"So, you are going to become a great-grandfather soon."

Zhao Weisheng was stunned.

Fate seemed to drop him with shocks one after the other. It was as if the years of sadness just washed away by meeting his granddaughter-in-law, and now she was pregnant too.

Zhao Weisheng was too excited now. His face beamed as if he was the sun himself. Lihua actually felt blinded. He was shining brightly on top of his Godly handsome face that seemed to be getting even more handsome with age.

"I-I see...I am so happy…"

Did that mean he would be able to see his great-grandchild born? After years of missing out on his family's happiness, will he finally be able to hold his great-grandchild?

He felt his heart tighten at that thought.

But then he remembered an important point he seemed to have forgotten with this conversation?

He anxiously asked, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Wei and the family?"

Lihua pursed her lips. "Jiang Zhen....he kidnapped me and brought us here."
