The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 595 Start anew

Chapter 595 Start anew

From outside the ward, Bojing saw Wei in his comatose state with some of the Jiang family members by his side. He couldn’t believe it when Lihua told him about Wei’s condition.

Lihua was standing beside him, staring at Wei with pain and grief evident in her expression.

Bojing panicked and quickly tried to console her. “Y-you don’t have to be so sad, okay? Boss is here! Boss will bring him out of the coma!” He furiously nodded. “Mr. Jiang won’t be like this for long.”

She faintly smiled. “I know, Bojing. He cannot.”

Bojing could see that despite her efforts to look strong, her body was slightly shaking.

From afar, Jia observed her sister and Bojing. Her heart pained to see Lihua fighting this battle when she was now supposed to rest. After months of tumultuous time with Jiang Zhen, she was supposed to live happily and focus on her pregnancy.

But it seemed like fate didn’t want her to take a breather at all.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and saw that it was Meng Ya. Her eyes were reddish, hinting that she had cried a lot. She was included in the list of people who were sharply shocked by seeing Jia alive. There were so many questions to be answered, but Mingshen refused to entertain them. And now that Bojing was back to normal, everybody was approaching him to get a clue of the events that had happened.

“Sis Jia…”

Meng Ya looked at her from head to toe, joyous to see her alive and breathing.

Jia smiled and ruffled her head. “Yaya…”

They shared an emotional moment, catching up on the things that happened in Jia’s absence.

“Lihua…I am worried about Lihua…” Meng Ya sniffled and wiped her eyes. “She has already gone through so much and now this…Why can’t life let her live peacefully?”

Jia pinched her cheek. “She will be fine. She is strong, and she is not alone. We are there with her…”

Her gaze fell on a particular set of people at a distance, who were so silent that it was hard to gauge if they were even present.

Cheng Ling was anxiously throwing glances at his daughter, who stood outside Wei’s ward.

“I want to meet Lihua…Look, how sad she is…” his eyes and heart ached for her. “Why aren’t you letting me meet her? How can you be so cruel?”

Mrs. Zhang sighed. Cheng Mei was expressionless while Cheng Xinyue was annoyed with his father’s tears.

“Dad, how many times should we tell you that we cannot.”

“She is my daughter! Haven’t we stayed far from her already for so many years?” Cheng Ling was hurt.

Mrs. Zhang sighed again. “Ling. It’s not that you cannot meet her. But right now it is a bit.. difficult. Wei is in a coma, and she is hardly able to deal with it. Now if her real family suddenly goes to meet her, she would feel pressured to know us or get along with us. This is a delicate moment for her. She doesn’t know you all. It will take time to adjust to the fact that she has a family now.”

Cheng Mei faintly nodded. Her gaze flickered as she stared at Lihua, but she said nothing.

Xinyue sneered. “Yes, so no more tears please.”

“Shut up, Xue!” Cheng Ling struck him on his arm.

He just shrugged.

—

When Lihua stepped out to take a breath of fresh air, a small figure immediately bumped on her legs.

“Ruru!”

Her expression finally brightened after a long time. Her eyes teared up as she hugged him.

“Ruru, how are you!?”

He lowered his head but said nothing. He clutched onto her tighter, his chubby cheeks puffing up.

Behind him Jiang Hua stepped up. “Lihua.”

“Jiang Hua!” She beamed. Then her gaze dimmed. “I-I am sorry I couldn’t-“

“No, you don’t have to say sorry for anything,” she shook her head. “I’m fact…” she trembled. “I should be the one to…Jiang Wei is in this state because of me. If I could have stopped Zhen in time somehow, then Jiang Wei wouldn’t be hurt like this.”

“Don’t be silly, Jiang Hua!” Lihua gasped. “How are you at fault? Chang Fang told me everything. It was Jiang Zhen who suddenly charged like a crazy man.”

“B-But I was standing behind him-“

“No means no, Jiang Hua. Neither you, sis Jia nor Chang Fang is at fault here. We all thought that he was knocked out. You shouldn’t feel guilty. In fact, you should be proud of yourself. You shot him to stop him.”

She trembled.

Lihua hugged her and whispered, “I know how hard it must have been for you,” her voice slightly choked, “I know. Yet you took the courage to go against him. It was not easy for a woman in your position to shoot Jiang, one who feared to talk back to him and stand up for herself. I am so proud of you.”

Jiang Hua bit her lip. “I…I don’t know, Lihua. Ruru also saw that. I don’t know what he thinks about me now…I shot his father. I don’t know how to face him anymore.”

Lihua slightly flicked her on her forehead. “Do you think Ruru will hate you for that?”

Lihua looked down at Ruru, who was still puffing up his cheeks in sadness. “Ruru, are you mad at your mother?”

He nodded.

Jiang Hua froze.

I knew it…

A tear slipped from her eye.

Lihua blinked. “Really? Because she hurt your father?”

Ruru made a face and shook his head. “Not mad about that. Don’t like Dada. He was bad. Don’t care what happens to him.”

Lihua choked and so did Jiang Hua.

“S-so why are you mad then?”

Ruru pursed his lips. “Mom said that we will leave you,” his shoulders drooped, and his voice was downcast. “Don’t want to leave Lihua.”

Hearing this, both were shocked.

Lihua asked in disbelief, “What leaving? Where are you two going?”

Jiang Hua said, “I…” she hesitated. “Now that Zhen won’t be a part of our lives anymore, I thought to start anew with Ruru. So, I told him we would leave and start a new life.”
