Chapter 9 - Beating The Mistress Into A Pulp (1)

Greatly taken aback, Li Wei immediately reacted. She denied, “No, I didn’t. I didn’t say anything to Luo Anning at all. We only happened to run into each other, so we just had a casual chat. Things are not like what you think.”

“Is that so? How do you explain the pregnancy report that you showed Young Madam then?”

Li Wei bit her lips and wondered to herself, is Luo Anning not at odds with Young Master Rong?

According to my investigation, they rarely met each other throughout the two years of their marriage, let alone have feelings for each other.

But why does Rong Yan know about it even though it only happened yesterday?”

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” questioned Rong Yan who was running out of patience. He stood up elegantly and walked towards the French window where he looked at the scenery below.

He was incredibly displeased at the thought of Luo Anning.

She actually thought of making a cuckold out of me just because of something that did not even happen. How daring of her!

“Young Master Rong, I really didn’t say anything to Luo Anning…”

“It seems you have not realized how grave this matter is,” Xu Zhiyuan said while sliding his gold-framed glasses up his nose bridge before gesturing for the man in black to come forth.

The men in black held Li Wei down, causing her to grow flustered immediately. She frantically pleaded for mercy.”Young Master Rong, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have spouted nonsense to Luo Anning. I was stupid. Please give me a chance, will you?”

Rong Yan remained silent while keeping his back facing her. Having worked for him for years, Xu Zhiyuan instantly knew what he meant.

“Who are you to address Young Madam by her full name?” Xu Zhiyuan chastised. He then instructed, “Take her away. If Young Madam doesn’t forgive her, get rid of her at Tang.” Li Wei burst into tears after hearing his words.

Everyone knew that Tang was the biggest gang in Asia and even the European mafias had to show them respect. Tang Chao who helmed Tang, was Rong Yan’s childhood friend. Hence, sending her to Tang was akin to killing her.

After Li Wei was brought away, Rong Yan smiled in satisfaction. This time, that damned woman Luo Anning will not think of making a cuckold out of me anymore, will she?

………………………

Back in the mansion.

Luo Anning was still taking a nap in the bedroom when she was jolted awake by a disruptive crying sound.

She was exasperated, for all she wanted was to catch up on some sleep after a torturous night with Rong Yan.

She opened the door of the bedroom with a sullen expression and made her way downstairs. Upon sight of Luo Anning, a burning glare formed in the eyes of the pathetic and disheveled Li Wei who was bawling in the living room.

Luo Anning immediately got the chills. She looked at Auntie Li and asked, “What’s the matter? Who let her in?”

“Young Master Rong was the one who instructed Assistant Xu to bring her here to apologize to you, Young Madam,” Auntie Li answered truthfully.

Xu Zhiyuan pushed his glasses up and said smilingly, “Young Madam, whatever Miss Li said to you at Duke’s Cafe yesterday wasn’t true at all. Young Master Rong didn’t touch her and he has nothing to do with her at all, regardless of whether she’s pregnant or not.”

Luo Anning stared at Li Wei before stifling a yawn and wiping her tears away. She walked towards the couch and took a seat. “You mean, I was deceived by her?”

“Yes,” Xu Zhiyuan answered.

Luo Anning nodded and pointed at the pathetic-looking Li Wei. “Tell me truthfully whether you lied to me or not. Think carefully before you answer..”

She absolutely detested liars and had never shown mercy to them.

Staring at Luo Anning who had a sullen expression on her face, Li Wei suddenly felt a little afraid and she found her gaze to be extremely daunting.

Luo Anning did not give her any time to consider at all. She frowned in annoyance and was just about to beckon for the men to come forth. Li Wei burst into tears at this moment.

She tried to get up but was pressed back onto the ground by the men in black. At last, she had no choice but to look at Luo Anning and come clean. “Young Madam, I was lying to you yesterday. Whatever I said were all lies.”

“I’ve been carrying a torch for Young Master Rong for a long time and I found out that you and Young Master Rong are not as close as the rumors make you guys out to be, so I began to harbor designs on him and tried to sow discord. I was out of my mind and was delusional. I thought that I could replace you… I was wrong. Young Madam, please forgive me! I promise this won’t happen again. I swear!”

Li Wei then raised three fingers and began swearing to the heavens while Luo Anning watched on delightfully. The same woman who was all haughty and arrogant yesterday, was now submissively begging her for her forgiveness. Power and authority, are indeed wonderful!

Although Li Wei was pitiful, she did not deserve her sympathy.

Those who lied to her ought to be punished. It was a principle that Luo Anning had always stuck to.

She would not change now nor in the future!

“Okay, I forgive you.”

Li Wei asked in disbelief, “Young Madam, you’ve really… forgiven me?”

Luo Anning waved her hands and thought to herself, Is there something wrong with her ears or is it my articulation that is wrong?

“You heard me correctly. I’ve forgiven you.”

“Thank you, Young Madam. Thank you!” Li Wei exclaimed in surprise on just how quick she forgave her. She cried tears of joy and got up in a bid to leave.

Even Xu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. Since when has Young Madam become so benevolent and kind?

He still remembered offending her two years ago and ended up being tortured by her. He even had to get Rong Yan to save him.

“Wait a minute.”

Luo Anning said calmly, after which Li Wei stopped in her tracks. She turned around fearfully and asked, “Young Madam, are you going back on your decision?”

Luo Anning shook her head, giving Li Wei a sense of relief, though she tensed up again at the next instant after hearing Luo Anning’s words. “I may have forgiven you but that doesn’t mean that you can escape the punishment. Auntie Li, bring me my Taekwondo uniform.”

“Yes, Young Madam.”

Auntie Li turned around to retrieve Luo Anning’s Taekwondo uniform. Staring at her in disbelief, Li Wei asked, “What do you mean? Are you going to hit me?”

Luo Anning smiled for the first time today and gibed, “Smart.”

Li Wei wished she could cry. Had she known earlier that Luo Anning was such a ruthless person, she would not have dared to incur her wrath at all. Xu Zhiyuan burst into laughter. He could not take Luo Anning’s beatings at all, let alone Li Wei.

Auntie Li soon brought her the uniform. Luo Anning changed into it before bringing them to the dojo in the mansion. Li Wei’s legs turned into jelly and she began to sway unsteadily.
