Chapter 1274 You are cruel
The carriage was silent, with only the roar of the engine echoing in my ears.
Jiang Mubai leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
She knew that she and Cheng Yunchuan would face greater challenges.
Cheng Yunchuan turned to look at her, his eyes full of heartache: "Mu Bai, I'm sorry, marrying me has wronged you."
Jiang Mubai opened his eyes, looked at him, and shook his head gently: "I am not wronged. We are husband and wife and should support each other. My identity is not popular to begin with. There have been many scandals recently. It is natural for the Cheng family to be worried. I just don't understand why your father is so opposed to us being together."
Cheng Yunchuan sighed and said in a heavy tone: "Because my mother is also an actress."
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect that Cheng Yunchuan's mother was also an actress.
"My mother fell in love with my father back then, but was strongly opposed by the Cheng family. They forced my mother to leave my father. In the end, my mother couldn't bear it anymore and chose to commit suicide," Cheng Yunchuan continued.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She finally understood why Mr. Cheng was so opposed to her and Cheng Yunchuan being together.
Because he was afraid that history would repeat itself.
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand and said firmly, "Mu Bai, I will not let my mother's tragedy happen again."
Jiang Mubai looked at him, his eyes full of emotion: "I believe you."
The two hugged each other tightly, and each other's body temperature conveyed strength and courage.
They know that the road ahead is still long, but they will go on together, and no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will not give up.
The car stopped downstairs of Jiang Mubai's apartment. The two got out and walked into the apartment side by side.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Mubai felt something was wrong.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
She was startled and quickly turned on the light. The scene before her shocked her.
The living room was a mess, with signs of fighting everywhere, and a person lying on the floor.
That person was Cheng Yunchuan's assistant, Xiao Li.
He was covered in blood, motionless, and his life or death was unknown.
Jiang Mubai's breathing choked and his blood seemed to freeze. Cheng Yunchuan also saw the scene in front of him. His pupils suddenly contracted. He quickly stepped forward and checked Xiao Li's breath.
"Still breathing." He spoke in a low voice with a barely perceptible tremor.
Jiang Mubai finally came back to his senses from the shock and quickly called the emergency number.
While waiting for the ambulance, Cheng Yunchuan said nothing and his face was terribly gloomy. He checked Xiao Li's injuries and found that they were all knife wounds. The attackers were ruthless and each move was fatal.
Jiang Mubai stood aside, feeling uneasy. This sudden change made her feel a chill, as if an invisible hand pushed her and Cheng Yunchuan into the abyss.
"Who could have done this?" Jiang Mubai broke the silence, his voice trembling slightly.
Cheng Yunchuan did not answer, but just pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as cold as a sharp knife.
He knew that all this was related to his background.
The ambulance came roaring in and took Xiao Li to the hospital. Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai also followed.
Outside the operating room, time passed by minute by minute and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Jiang Mubai held Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, trying to give him some comfort, but she herself felt her palms were cold and her heart was filled with fear.
Finally, the lights in the operating room went out and the doctor came out.
"The patient is no longer in danger of death, but he still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time," said the doctor.
Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan both breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.
"Thank you, doctor." Jiang Mubai said gratefully.
Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything, just nodded, then turned and walked towards the ward.
Jiang Mubai followed behind him, looking at his tall and straight back, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in his heart.
She knew that no matter what happened, Cheng Yunchuan would be by her side to protect her.
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan stayed by Xiao Li's bedside and took care of him.
Jiang Mubai also often came to the hospital to visit Xiao Li and helped Cheng Yunchuan take care of him.
Xiao Li's injuries gradually improved, but he still refused to say who attacked him.
Cheng Yunchuan knew that Xiao Li was protecting him and didn't want him to be involved in deeper danger.
"Xiao Li, don't worry. I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you an explanation." Cheng Yunchuan said in a firm tone.
Xiao Li shook his head and said weakly: "Mr. Cheng, you don't have to worry about me. I can handle it myself."
Cheng Yunchuan knew Xiao Li's concerns and no longer forced him. He just silently strengthened the protection of Jiang Mubai and himself.
That night, Jiang Mubai received a strange phone call in his apartment.
"Ms. Jiang, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She recognized the voice: Qin Yuanqing.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Mubai asked in a cold tone.
"I want to talk to you." Qin Yuanqing said.
"There's nothing to talk about between us." Jiang Mubai refused without hesitation.
"Really? Then I'll have to talk to you in my own way." Qin Yuanqing's tone was threatening.
Jiang Mubai hung up the phone, feeling uneasy.
She knew that Qin Yuanqing would not let her go easily.
She immediately called Cheng Yunchuan and told him about it.
When Cheng Yunchuan heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Mu Bai, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Cheng Yunchuan said in a firm tone.
"Yunchuan, I..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled a little.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Cheng Yunchuan comforted her gently.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yunchuan immediately arranged for people to strengthen the protection of Jiang Mubai.
He decided to completely solve the trouble of Qin Yuanqing.
The next day, Cheng Yunchuan met with Qin Yuanqing.
The two met at a high-end restaurant.
"Qin Yuanqing, what exactly do you want to do?" Cheng Yunchuan asked straight to the point.
Qin Yuanqing sneered and said, "What do I want to do? I want to get Jiang Mubai."
"You're dreaming!" Cheng Yunchuan roared.
"Really? Then let's wait and see." Qin Yuanqing said provocatively.
"Qin Yuanqing, I warn you, if you dare to touch Mu Bai, I will never let you go!" Cheng Yunchuan said in a cold tone.
Qin Yuanqing laughed out loud: "Haha! Cheng Yunchuan, who do you think you are? Do you think you can protect her?"
"You'll know if I can protect her if you try." Cheng Yunchuan said with sharp eyes.
The atmosphere between the two was tense, as if a big war would break out in the next second.
Just then, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open and a man in a black suit walked in.
He walked up to Qin Yuanqing and whispered a few words.
Qin Yuanqing's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Cheng Yunchuan, you are so cruel!" Qin Yuanqing said gritting his teeth.
