《The Mafia King’s First Love》The Mafia King's First Love

The party went on in a full swing. People laughed and cheered. Hou Zhenzhen and Lai Chang danced on the central dance floor and as couples, everybody urged Wei-Lihua and Jiang Li-Jiang Lanying to dance too.
But since her foot was still healing from the sprain, Jiang Li refused. So, Wei and Lihua stepped up and danced, arms in arms.
Jiang Li's phone buzzed and his expression turned serious, seeing Jin Zhilan's name on it. Jiang Lanying, whose gaze accidentally fell upon his phone, froze.
But she quickly looked away.
"I will be back in a minute."
"En…."
Jiang Li hastily left.
Lai Chang, who was observing them from a distance, narrowed his eyes. He noticed how she got uncomfortable and how Jiang Li also quickly left to attend his call.
What is so strange in a phone call that riled him so much?
Hou Zhenzhen limped towards him and seductively pressed her chest on his arm. "Chang…"
Lai Chang suddenly got up and said, "I am going outside for a moment."
"Huh? Wait! Why outside now?"
He felt annoyed. "Can I not go outside for some fresh air?"
She pursed her lips. "You are saying as if it's too suffocating here…"
His gaze was still glued on to Jiang Lanying. "Who told you to invite so many friends?" He whispered. "I bet that you haven't properly talked to even half of them."
"Of course, I had to call everybody. You know how these socialites are. I don't want them throwing names at my face for being not polite."
She tracked his line of sight and figured that he was staring at Jiang Lanying. She fumed in anger.
Why is he looking at her!? Has he still not forgotten her!
"Chang-"
"You stay here. I will be back in some time."

She dug her nails in her palm with fury burning inside her.
Ugh, why is it always Lanying!?
---
Outside, Lai Chang kept his distance and followed Jiang Li. He hid behind a tree and saw him meeting a woman. He raised his brow and narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Li is secretly meeting with a woman?
His instinct told him that something fishy was going on. If Jiang Li was doing something suspicious behind Jiang Lanying's back, then this was a golden opportunity that he couldn't lose.
Jiang Li coldly said, "Why are you here?"
Jin Zhilan sighed. "Don't be so mad. I came here because I have important news to give to you."
"What is so important that you had to come here of all places?" His voice was even sharper than before.
"It's important, damn it!"
She handed him a brown envelope. Jiang Li frowned and quickly tore the seal. He glanced at the papers inside the envelope and froze.
Jin Zhilan was solemn. "You need to read it."
Jiang Li clutched the papers in his hand and slowly read through the lines. Not even a single expression flickered across his face as he calmly read the file. But his heart was a complete mess.
A sad and dry chuckle escaped his lips. "I see…"
Jin Zhilan said, "Don't worry, Jiang Li. There is still hope-"
"Don't bother anymore."
As Lai Chang secretly heard their conversation, his eyes slowly widened in disbelief. His jaw dropped wide open and he could hardly believe his ears.
Is it really true?
Suddenly, he burst into a silent chuckle and promptly left the place. His eyes glinted with danger.
In the party hall, Jiang Lanying was slowly walking towards the restroom when Lai Chang blocked her way.

"What is it?"
Lai Chang smiled. "Lanying. I think it's better that you leave Jiang Li for good."
She widened her eyes in shock. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
"That you should leave Jiang Li. He cannot keep you happy anymore."
Jiang Lanying fumed. "Lai Chang. If this is what you want to talk about then please don't bother. I thought that everything is in the past now. You will soon be married to Zhenzhen. So, I hope that you stop doing this."
Lai Chang snorted. "Lanying, do you want to live with a man who secretly meets a woman behind your back?"
She stiffened.
"Do you know who she is?" He asked.
Silence.
"Hah! Jiang Li didn't even bother telling you anything! He is your husband but he is treating you in the worst way possible."
"Enough, Lai Chang. Indeed, I don't know who she is. She might be his friend or his business associate. Whatever she is, I know that he is not cheating on me!"
He laughed. "Of course he is cheating on you, but I don't mean an affair by that. He is cheating your trust because he is hiding something from you. Something really important that you should know."
Lanying blinked her eyes.
"Something important?"
"Yes. Don't you want to hear what that might be?"
Jiang Lanying stared at him. "No, I don't."
He narrowed his eyes.
"Even if Li is hiding something from me, I will wait for him to talk to me about it. I don't want to hear anything from a third person."
Third person…
Lai Chang gritted his teeth.
"Talk to you about it? Hah! He will never confess it! You will forever be in the dark!"
"I don't mind. But I will still hear it from his mouth."
She was trying to leave but he blocked her way again.
"Did you ever stop to think why he doesn't want a child?"
She froze and slightly paled. She looked at him in disbelief. "H-How do you-"
"Know about it?" He smiled. "Well…"
From a distance, Lihua saw Lai Chang talking to Jiang Lanying and with her ashen expression, Lihua felt that something was wrong.
Damn it! Is he bullying her!?
She stormed towards him but Jiang Li already reached before her and pulled Jiang Lanying behind him.
"I think Mr. Lai refuses to learn his lesson," the temperature instantly froze and the atmosphere turned still. "Or maybe he doesn't understand what rejection means."
Everybody's attention turned towards them. "What is happening…"
Lai Chang laughed. "Ah, there you are, Mr. Jiang. Are you done talking with your beautiful friend outside?"
He froze.

8 220Grimm Season 6 Episode 14: In the Nick of Time
After multiple young women disappear in the woods, Nick and the rest of the gang are called to investigate. Meanwhile, Deputy Farris relies on Hank for answers when the kidnapping suspect claims that monsters took his fiance. Elsewhere, Nick has a surprise for Adalind when she arrives at the loft, and Josh contacts his friends from Portland.This story is a season 6 episode 14 fanfiction of the hit NBC show Grimm and, therefore, takes place soon after season 6, episode 13. In this story, we get to see the immediate aftermath of the Grimm finale, see some familiar faces, and answer a few questions that were left up in the air with Grimm's end. This tale is based on the Brother's Grimm fairy tale, Jorinda and Joringel (though I recommend reading the real fairy tale after finishing the book). I do not own Grimm or any of the characters. I wrote this story out of respect and longing for my favorite show that has ended. This story contains violence and mild language.
