The Mafia King's First Love

Before the marriage registration took place, Wei did another important job. Lihua thought that they would directly sign the marriage registration papers, but it seemed that Wei had other plans.

Though registering marriage won't require much time, the whole Jiang family had gathered to witness Wei and Lihua's marriage. Everybody was super excited to welcome Lihua back home that they also followed them all the way to the Civil affairs bureau.

Jiang Fai jumped at Lihua. "You will be my sister-in-law again! I am so happy! Do you know how much I missed you?" He sobbed. "It was so lonely because of you!"

Jiang Xiurang pulled him back and twisted his ear. "Don't jump on her like that! She is pregnant!"

"I know! I am careful!" He pouted.

Jiang Lanying sniffled. "It's so true. Ruiling, you and I form the great trio! It was incomplete with you."

Jiang Li grimaced. "You have a trio?"

"I have told this so many times! You forgot?" She glared at him.

He shrugged.

Ruiling sneered. "Bro, if you don't pay attention to sister-in-law, then she will leave you one day." 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

"..."

Her gaze then fell on another family that came in. Her brow slightly twitched seeing Xinyue as he entered walking beside his mother, Cheng Mei. Cheng Ling was on her other side while Mrs. Zhang hopped towards Lihua with a beaming face. "Lihua!"

"Aunt Zhang!" Lihua brightened and hugged her too. She glanced at her family and pursed her lips, feeling a little hesitant and awkward.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "You don't have to be nervous. They are just here to be a part of your wedding."

"I know," though Lihua still felt bad with the distance between them.

Xinyue sneered. "Little sister, don't look so glum. You will look more ugly."

"..."

Lihua's fuse short-circuited. "What do you mean by ugly!? I am not ugly!"

"You will always say that. Plus you are a little weak in the brain department too, so you will never accept it. Today is your marriage, so try to look like a bride."

Lihua clenched her jaw and felt like strangling him. She looked at Mrs. Zhang in grievance and pointed a trembling finger at him. "He cannot be my big brother!"

"I know right?" Xinyue shrugged. "Feels so unbelievable that you are my sister too."

"..."

Cheng Mei said nothing while Cheng Ling glared at his son. "Xinyue! Be respectful towards your sister. Is this how you behave when you meet her after so many years?"

"This is exactly how I would behave, so I am doing just fine."

"..."

Cheng Ling looked at Lihua and nervously said, "Y-you don't have to pay any attention to him. He is an idiot. He is not a social person, so he doesn't know how to talk to people."

Xinyue's gaze darkened.

Lihua's eyes sparkled with his support and furiously nodded. "I know! Even when he came to fetch me that night, he was so mean!"

Cheng Ling gasped. "How could he!? Xinyue, you are terrible!"

He grimaced. He glanced at Ruiling for a second and observed her expression was much lighter and sunnier than the day she killed Shen Yang. He raised his brow and then looked away, his lips smiling.

Wei finally returned doing all the formalities he needed to.

Old Madam asked, "Wei. Where were you? We were all waiting for you."

He nodded. "There is an important thing which I needed to do before I marry Lihua."

She was confused. "What is that?"

Wei walked up to Zhao Weisheng and stood before him with a straight posture. Zhao Weisheng smiled. "Yes, Wei?"

Wei showed him the papers he held in his hand, signaling that he should read them.

Zhao Weisheng tilted his head and took the papers. "What are they?"

He opened the file and read through what was written in it. Zhao Weisheng blinked several times and he had to read it again and again to confirm if what he was reading was right.

Old Madam curiously asked, "What is it, Weisheng?"

Zhao Weisheng trembled and breathed hard. He slowly lifted his gaze and stared at Wei incredulously. "You have put everything under Zhao?"

Wei nodded.

Lihua scratched her chin. "Ah? I didn't understand."

Xinyue snorted. "As expected."

She glared at him. "Shut up!"

Wei said, "I changed everything that is under the Jiang name to Zhao. All the properties and our business will be under your name now. I also completed the formalities of changing our surname. We won't be Jiangs from now on. We will be called the Zhao family, and I am Zhao Wei from today."

Zhao Weisheng couldn't believe what was happening. "B-But I don't understand…why did you do this?"

Wei blinked. "It's because you created the Underworld and our company. Jiang Zemin only led it on the outside, but you are the one who gave everything its roots. You built the Mafia. You built Jiang Industries. If you are the one responsible for giving us our legacy, then it shouldn't be in the Jiang family's name. We should be Zhaos."

His lips parted, stunned.

"Also, Old Madam might have been Jiang Zemin's wife, but that was only on face value. If things had gone well, you two would have gotten married, and we would have been Zhao family anyway. Everything should belong to Zhao, not Jiang. I just formally and legally completed the process. So Jiang Industries will be Zhao Industries from now on and we, the Zhao family. I wanted to give you your due right and marry Lihua with the Zhao name, not Jiang. They rode on your coattails for long enough." 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Zhao Weisheng felt his vision blur. The file in his hands trembled, and he saw the name on the papers again. The Jiang family was officially changed to the Zhao name from today.

"Y-You didn't have to do this…"

Wei said, unfazed but resolute. "I do. We do not belong to the Jiang family. It was necessary to break that link once and for all."
