Chapter 377 - The Mafia Kings Secret Helpers
A short trip to last night when Wei had called his able assistant back for a serious discussion.
"How will I observe Lihua if she is doing alright?"
He blinked his eyes. "What?"
"You said to observe her for a while if she can cope up or not."
"Yes?"
"But she wouldn't want to see me if I am near her," he pursed his lips.
His mouth twitched.
"Boss, you can always hire someone to do the task and report you back.."
His brows knitted together in displeasure. "I don't want to leave such an important task to an underling. How will he judge if she is tired or not? Or if she is stressed out? I should personally be there to watch her."
Boss, even as much as a sigh from her would make you dial the Education Minister's number, Fu Renshu couldn't help but grimace.
Are you sure you want to do the judging?
"That's a great idea!"
He jolted in surprise and looked back. It was Jiang Fai, who was staring at them with sparkling eyes as if he had found treasure.
"I heard everything!"
"..."
He clutched Wei's arm and exclaimed. "Bro, that's an excellent idea! You should definitely watch over my sister-in-law."
Wei nodded and felt pleased to get another supporter.
"Who knows if sister-in-law's heart will melt and she will forgive you? What if she agrees to come back home? Bro, you cannot sit idle and let things be as they are!" He fumed.
Fu Renshu sighed. "This time, things are a lot more complex..It won't be easy for her to let go, especially when it concerns Song Jia."
"I know, but there is no harm in trying!"
"But they are already... divorced now. What if Madam gets angrier by Boss's interference? I don't want her to hate him any more than this."
Wei stiffened, and he hesitated for a moment.
Should I really do this?
Jiang Fai narrowed his eyes. He looked at Wei and asked, "Bro. Do you want some strange guy to approach sister-in-law in college and hit on her?"
Fu Renshu was aghast.
Young master! Talking about another guy in front of the Boss!? It's like sealing the deal!
As expected, the temperature rapidly plummeted until it became suffocating to breathe. Wei's eyes flashed with danger and possessiveness.
"After all, she is so cute and beautiful. It's not difficult for a guy to fall for her.." Jiang Fai slyly egged him on.
"I will personally handle it," Wei declared without any hesitation in his voice.
Angry veins bulged on the back of his hands as he clenched his fists.
Nobody can eye my Lihua. I won't let them...
Fu Renshu wanted to break down into tears.
What did you do, Young master?
"Hmm, but there is a problem.."
Fu Renshu stiffened as he heard another voice pop in from the door.
Why am I getting a bad feeling?
Jiang Ruiling and Jiang Lanying eagerly stepped in. Jiang Fai was nervous for a bit, but they chuckled.
Jiang Ruiling said, "Don't be afraid, Fai. We are with you in this. We also want her back in the family," her gaze twinkled in mischief. "Shen Yang and I are together now because of her."
Jiang Lanying nodded. "She helped us in our tough times and our relationship with our partners. If not for her, then Li and I would have still acted estranged and distant from each other. Now this time, it's our turn to help Wei and Lihua."
Wei blinked his eyes and tilted his head. "You will?"
Jiang Ruiling smiled. "Of course, bro. Isn't that what family is all about? We stand for each other in difficult times. You brought her into this house, and ever since then, this house and all of us in it have only changed for the better. You can say we are in your debt for bringing a diamond in this home."
Jiang Fai furiously nodded.
Wei stared at them in a daze, and a feeling of warmth gushed in his heart. Their support shook him. He never thought of asking for anybody's help. But now that he knew that they had his back, he felt so much lighter and better. He then realized that it wasn't bad to rely on someone's help in need.
His gaze softened. "Thank you."
As if an arrow shot right through their hearts, they couldn't help but clutch their chests.
Damn, he is so cute when he smiles!
Jiang Fai coughed. "I don't think we should let the elders know about this...What if they try to stop us by telling us not to interfere?"
Everybody nodded in unison.
Jiang Lanying said, "We will keep this to ourselves for now."
Jiang Ruiling narrowed his eyes. "So let's think about how bro and Assistant Fu can carry on their observation.."
historical
Fu Renshu had no words to say.
Huh?
"W-wait. Me?" He asked, confused.
"Of course."
"Isn't it only Boss?"
Jiang Ruiling blinked her eyes once. "Of course not, silly. You know how bro is. If he sees sister-in-law, he will get all excited like a child and rush to her side without any hesitation. If she sees him, then our plan is ruined. Somebody needs to be there with him to keep him in reign."
Wei - "..."
Wei couldn't retort anything in his defense.
"Right now, she doesn't want to see him, so we have to be really cautious. Bro's hyper enthusiasm will make things fall apart."
Another strike to Wei. But once again, he said nothing.
Fu Renshu couldn't agree more. He sighed.
It seems like everyone has decided.
It wasn't like he didn't wish them to be together again. But he just didn't want to make it more complicated for Wei when Lihua was already furious at him.
Jiang Ruiling's eyes shone as an idea struck her. "I know. Let's disguise them!"
"Huh?" Everybody was shocked.
She shrugged. "How is bro planning to observe her? She will be in classes most of the time. He cannot hover outside the class and stare at her like a stalker."
They coughed.
That was a good argument.
"What if I become a teacher?" Wei suggested.
"Not feasible. You will be there just for an hour until the lecture is over. And a teacher following a student is creepy."
"..."
"There is only one way to stay near her without arousing any suspicion.. That is as a classmate. So, so! Let's become a student once again!"
