The Mafia King's First Love

Jiang Zhen casually stepped into the room, making Qingqing fiercely hiss at him and Lu Bojing stand in Lihua's defense. But he ignored them.

He glanced at Ruru, who had stiffened in Zhao Weisheng's lap. His small figure was shaking as his gaze was lowered. Lihua noticed his reaction, and jer chest puffed up in a fury.

To make Ruru fear him so much, just how much this bastard must have tortured him?

Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes. "Somebody doesn't know how to listen to his father, does he?"

Ruru jolted. His eyes were on the verge of tears.

He smiled at Zhao Weisheng. "Grandpa Weisheng. How many times should I tell you? You should be chanting prayers at your age for your family that is about to be doomed. Why do you interfere with ours? My pathetic father was stupid to fall for your trap, but I am not and neither would be Ru."

Lihua widened her eyes.

Calling his own father pathetic? You are the pathetic one filled with garbage in your head!

Zhao Weisheng was quiet.

"I just came here to check how you must be feeling by meeting new guests? Weren't you alone for all these years? They are here to keep you company. How do you feel meeting your great-granddaughter-in-law?"

Jiang Zhen laughed. "I must say, Grandpa Weisheng. You fooled my granduncle big time. Even now, it amazes me whenever I think about how you and Grandma Xiuying fooled around in bed right under his nose and even had three children."

Zhao Weisheng calmly said, "Only your granduncle? Not your grandfather too?"

He narrowed his eyes.

"A pity. Shan was always the brighter of the brothers. Yet, the greed of power blinded him too to fall for it. He was so focused on his fight with Zemin that everything else became background to him. At first, I thought he kidnapped me because he realized the truth. But it was only because I was Zemin's servant. He wanted to know everything that a close aide knew."

He smiled. "It was when Zemin died that he finally realized it. When Weizhe and Weiyuan were old enough to resemble me was when it struck him that Zemin's children weren't even his in the first place. That's when he started to blackmail Xiuying using me. So, your grandfather was fooled for a long time too."

Jiang Zhen sneered. "Don't act innocent. Greed for power? Didn't you want it too and that's why betrayed the family that fed you."

Zhao Weisheng looked at him, amused. "Only the ones who are repressed understand the value of freedom. And power gives you the means to achieve anything you want. Though I don't expect you to understand it. It's a pity you didn't inherit your father's sense and heart."

He rolled his eyes. "Heart has no place in the Underworld. Grandpa, shouldn't you be worried about your family? Things got delayed because you hypnotized my useless father into not revolting. But now, nobody can stop your family's doom."

Zhao Weisheng patted Ruru's head. "I don't have any reason to worry. Even if I hadn't interfered, Weizhe and Weiyuan wouldn't have let Shan win anyway. I trust Wei is just as capable or even more. You don't have any chance to win, especially when my family is reunited now. Shan never had a chance. He never will either."

Jiang Zhen tilted his head. "I don't know what to say about your over-confidence when your grandson, who you have so much faith in, is in my palms."

That made Lihua freeze for a moment. Worry gnawed her heart.

Zhao Weisheng glanced at him. "When Shan realized about Chao's refusal to walk his path, it was already too late."

"What do you want to say?"

"That he didn't even realize when I struck my move and succeeded in it. You wouldn't know it either when Wei would strike you. You would have already fallen by the time you make sense of anything."

Jiang Zhen's expression was unsightly.

Zhao Weisheng shook his head. "Now, it's even worse. You kidnapped his wife."

"Ex-wife," he sneered.

He chuckled. "So naive, Zhen. Do you think I ever cared about Xiuying being Zemin's wife? That she was married to him or slept with him to fulfill her obligations? No. I loved her nevertheless. It's my blood running inside Wei. Wife or ex-wife, it wouldn't matter to him in the slightest. You touched something you aren't supposed to. I was and am possessive about Xiuying. I believe the protectiveness has been passed down to my children and grandchildren even stronger and fiercer. You are a dead man the moment you eyed his woman."

Zhao Weisheng said, "Wei will come for you. He will rescue Lihua. And he will kill you. Plain and simple. Nothing can change that fate. To be honest, if you want his mercy, then you should let Lihua go."

Jiang Zhen was bored. "Nice try, Grandpa. Do you think your lecture was supposed to make me piss my pants?"

"I hoped to warn you. But as expected, you won't heed it. So, you can only be ready for your consequences. Wei must be like a wounded beast now. A wounded animal is the most ferocious."

This whole time, Lihua's face was reddened seeing Zhao Weisheng talk so confidently that Wei would save her for sure.

Jiang Zhen wanted to rattle Zhao Weisheng with fear and stress about Wei's loss. But seeing him so calm irked him.

This old man has really lost it if he thinks that things can be overturned at this point.

"Get up, Ru. Time to teach you some lessons for ignoring your father's orders."

Ruru jolted and fiercely hugged Zhao Weisheng

He raised his hand to grab him when Lihua harshly shook it off. "Fuck off! Don't you dare touch Ruru with your filthy hands!" She coldly glowered at him.

Jiang Zhen raised his brow. "He is my son."

She sneered. "But a monster like you can never be his father. Blood alone doesn't define any relationship. I know you plan to hit him, right? As expected of somebody as disgusting as you. But I won't let you! Ruru won't go anywhere!"

She stood her ground between Jiang Zhen and Ruru.

"Get out! I won't let you lay a single finger on my cinnamon roll!"
