Chapter 19 - The Mafia King's Third Attempt At Reconciliation

At the college, as soon as Lihua entered through the gates, the students around were snickering and laughing at her. Some even sneered on her face, not bothering to hide their disdain.

Lihua slowed her steps and looked around.

Why is everyone staring at me like that?

"Hey! The heartbroken Lihua has come!"

"She did? I thought she would be crying in her room, hiding her face in the pillow."

The chuckles grew louder and louder.

One girl stepped forward. "How are you Lihua? I heard you got rejected."

"Tsk. Tsk. This is what happens when you try to hit on a wealthy man."

Lihua had no idea what she was saying.

"Rejected?" She frowned.

Lu Jie stepped with her sidekicks and smiled at her. "Come on Lihua. Don't be in denial. You were pathetic yesterday with those tears in your eyes. You all should have seen her. Poor Lihua's eyes had turned so red. Seems like her boss quite brutally rejected her."

Lihua blinked her eyes.

Wait that? I was crying because of what Boss said about sis Jia! Where did rejection come here?

One of the guys whistled. "Hey, Lihua! Please describe how you confessed to him and then got rejected. What did he say to you? We are dying to know!"

"Yessss~~~ Tell us!"

Lu Jie smirked at Lihua and was satisfied with how everybody humiliated her.

"There is a misunderstanding. I didn't confess to my Boss," Lihua said.

Lu Jie shook her head. "I saw it myself and you are still denying."

Lihua furrowed her brows. "You saw me crying and that is true. But you didn't see what happened that made me cry. You weren't there. So from where did confession and rejection come into the conversation?"

Her mouth twitched.

Meng Ya came rushing and glared at Lu Jie. "Lu Jie! What false rumors are you spreading?"

"Rumors?" She chuckled. "I saw how she looked at Mr. Jiang when he was in our college two days back. Her crush on him was so obvious. And naturally, she shamelessly confessed to him and got rejected. The gold-digger Lihua couldn't wait at all to latch onto a rich thigh."

Everybody burst into laughter.

"Her desperation is so painful."

"Yeah, she lives in a small apartment complex I heard. I can see why would she be so greedy to live in a mansion!"

Meng Ya gritted her teeth. "Lu Jie! Mind what you are speaking! Lihua already told me what happened and it's far from your imagination. You just want to make a fool out of her because you weren't selected for the job!"

Lu Jie was enraged as if somebody stepped on her tail.

"Oh yeah, then why don't you tell us?"

Lihua said, "It's something personal that I don't want to share."

How could she say that the very Jiang Wei came to live in her apartment where she also rode in his car yesterday and then he said all those things?

They would think of her as some crazy woman in delusion.

Lu Jie sneered. "Of course you would like to keep your failed attempt at confession personal."

Meng Ya wished to slap her face.

Lihua said, "Yaya. Forget it. We are getting late for class."

Suddenly, a flying paper plane struck her head. Lihua opened it and in it, there was a drawing of her crying like a child after being rejected and Wei walking away while she kowtowed in front of him as if begging to accept her.

Her lips stretched into a thin line.

Meng Ya was furious. "Hey! Who threw this?"

They just whistled and didn't respond. One by one, a lot of paper planes flew to her side, all drawings being about mocking her rejection and making fun of her.

One such paper plane flew and fell right at a certain someone's feet.

Wei bent and picked up the piece of paper.

There was utter shock and silence as everybody saw Wei. They felt his command in the air and nobody dared to speak.

Lihua was dumbfounded.

Why is he here?

Wei opened the paper and saw that drawing. He tilted his head and glanced at Lihua. He saw a bunch of those papers at Lihua's feet.

"Boss…"

"What does this drawing mean?"

Lu Jie kept staring at him in a trance. She was intimidated like everybody else, but there was a thrill in her heart too.

"S-sir, that is Lihua and... and…"

She gulped.

Would he get offended by the drawing?

Wei wasn't paying any attention to her anyway. He was waiting for Lihua's response.

Lihua quickly said, "Those are nothing."

One woman said, "What's wrong Lihua? Why aren't you admitting that it's you and Mr. Jiang?"

"Of course she wouldn't. She would be hella embarrassed since she was rejected."

Wei frowned.

He looked at the drawing. "This drawing is wrong."

Wei walked up to her. Lihua's heart skipped a beat. Their kiss flashed in her mind again. Her cheeks slightly turned red.

"Boss…"

"It shouldn't be you kowtowing," Wei stared at her. "Now I know the correct way to apologize to you."

Lihua was puzzled.

Ah? Is he talking about what happened this morning?

Wei bent on his knees on the ground, making Lihua gasp in shock. Everybody's eyes popped out of their sockets.

The CEO of Jiang Industries was kneeling in front of Lihua!

"B-B-Boss! What are you doing!?" she stammered.

Wei was convinced with Fu Renshu's advice.

The diamond-set might have looked too shallow, he thought.

He concluded that his sincerity wasn't reflected enough. Plus in the Mafia World, it was common to prove one's sincerity by shedding blood.

Suddenly, Wei hit his head on the ground, making everybody jolt and shudder. A thin stream of blood trickled from his forehead as he raised his head.

"Ahhhhh!" The women screamed in shock.

"CEO Jiang hit himself!"

"Blood! Blood! Ambulance!"

"Boss! What are you doing!?" Lihua shrieked in utter shock.

He calmly said, "Kowtowing and apologizing."

Lihua was horrified.

From diamond set to kowtow? What the hell is going on?

Lu Jie's jaw dropped wide open.

C-CEO Jiang Wei is kowtowing in front of Lihua? The billionaire is kneeling in front of everyone!

Wei seriously said, "I will show my sincerity by my blood."

The students were shell-shocked.

Didn't he reject Song Lihua? Then what sincerity?

Wei was about to bang his head again, but Lihua swiftly grabbed his head. "Boss, please stop!"
