The Mafia King meets Meng Ya (2)

Wei almost stumbled in his steps seeing Lihua with Meng Ya. His heart leaped in his chest in pure panic as he saw them together.

What is she doing here? His face turned ashen for a moment.

His fingers curled into a fist, and his black irises darkened in danger. A stony expression settled on his face and right at this moment, he didn't treat Meng Ya any less than his enemy.

Meng Ya saw Wei's figure behind Lihua and she looked at him, stunned. "Mr. Jiang!"

Lihua turned and saw Wei slowly walking towards her. She alternated her gaze between them. "You know each other?"

Meng Ya was baffled. "Lihua, why are you asking such questions today? Of course, I know Mr. Jiang. Wasn't he your neighbor in your apartment complex?"

Wei stiffened.

This entire situation was getting more and more confusing for Lihua. "Neighbor…? What apartment complex? I-I don't understand…Wei, this woman is saying that she knows me and calling me Lihua. What is going on?"

Her eyes popped out of her sockets in utter shock.

Wei? When did she start calling him just Wei? He is her Boss and now she is calling him so intimately...

"Of course I know you! I am your best friend, Meng Ya! We go to the same college! Why are you acting as if you don't recognize me?" She anxiously glanced at Wei. "Mr. Jiang. What's wrong with her? Why is she talking like that?"

Instead of getting a sympathetic response, she felt a chill run down her spine when Wei's dark, impassive gaze fell upon her. There was hostility and enmity in his eyes that threatened to kill her. She felt as if her head would roll off if she dared speak anything.

Wei looked at Lihua and the chill in his orbs disappeared. He softly smiled. "I don't know who she is either. She has mistaken you for somebody else."

Meng Ya stood rooted in her spot as if she was harshly slapped.

Lihua somehow didn't feel convinced. "But she is talking like she really knows me... Lihua...why is she mistaking me for a pet? Lihua is our cat, isn't she?"

"Huh?" Meng Ya gasped in horror. "C-cat? What the hell! Since when did my bestie turn into a cat? She is human and she is you!"

Wei coldly said, "Enough."

Her next words remained frozen in her tongue. There was such oppression and alarm in his tone that she felt it suffocating to stand there. She broke out in a sweat.

Why is Mr. Jiang looking so d-dangerous?

"If you don't stop it, I will have you thrown out of here."

The other customers murmured amongst themselves, witnessing the scene.

"What is happening?"

"Who is that woman?"

"Hey, hey maybe she is some admirer of that handsome man."

"Oh dear. Is she trying to create a scene here?"

Meng Ya stammered. "W-why should I stop? I have met my best friend after a month and she doesn't even recognize me! She is addressing herself as some Jiang Lixue which is not even her name! How is she Jiang Lixue?"

Lihua said, "Because I am Jiang Wei's wife."

Meng Ya choked. Her heart was getting too many back-to-back shocks today.

"Wife!? When...when did you two marry?" She asked, stupefied.

Wei cut her off before he feared that she might trigger something in Lihua's memories. "Let's leave, Lixue. We don't have to pay attention to her."

"But…"

He held her hand and pulled her away. "It's okay."

They passed from beside her. Meng Ya snapped out of her stupor and ran behind them. "Wait!"

She grabbed Lihua's wrist. "Y-you cannot leave like this! Not without explaining to me what is going on! Mr. Jiang, even you are calling her Lixue...why? What is happening?"

Wei's icy gaze stared at her holding Lihua's hand. "Leave."

Meng Ya was afraid of Wei and she felt like running away from him. But she couldn't leave Lihua. Something was wrong and wanted to find it out at any cost.

Lihua said, "You... leave my hand. I said I am not Lihua. Why are you being so stubborn?"

"Stubborn? I am telling the truth! Mr. Jiang knows it too! I don't know why he is feigning ignorance! He knows everything. Believe me, you are-"

Wei suddenly stepped in between them, making Meng Ya cower in fear. He whispered so that Lihua couldn't hear him. "Leave or die."

She froze.

D-die?

"Don't ever look for her again or I will have to kill you."

She trembled.

"I..I…" her voice choked. "What have you done to Lihua?" Fear gripped her heart.

"None of your concern."

Meng Ya gritted her teeth and glared at him, her eyes shining in tears. "It is my concern! Lihua is my best friend! I won't leave until I know the truth!"

Wei stared at her in silence. He dialed a number on his phone. "Come to XX mall and deal with the mess."

He hung up and without saying a word took Lihua away. She anxiously asked, "What happened?"

Wei smiled. "Nothing. It's fine now. Don't worry about her. She has misunderstood you."

They kept walking away while Meng Ya could do nothing. She ran after them outside the mall. "Wait! You cannot leave! Where are you taking Lihua!? What have you done to her! Answer me!"

Before she could reach their car, the guards dressed in black held her arms and stopped her way.

"Hey! Leave me! They are going away!"

The guards didn't respond. They tightly held on to her, not letting her go. Meng Ya protested and cried hard. "Leave me, you hooligans! You are taking my friend away! I won't stand for this!"

The passers by strangely stared at her, thinking she was some crazy woman.

"Leave me!"

Wei and Lihua stepped into the car and it sped away.

"Lihua! Don't go!" She flailed her arms to shake them off but to no success.

"Let me go!"

"They won't," a cold voice rang in the air.

The guards cleared the path and she saw a familiar figure of a tall man walking towards her. Her eyes widened in recognition.
