Chapter 1173 Protecting Your Safety
Chapter 1173 Protecting Your Safety
Jiang Mubai nodded, holding back tears, "I know."
Three days later, Jiang Mubai took his mother on a flight to Switzerland. Looking at the city getting smaller and smaller outside the window, Jiang Mubai's heart became heavier and heavier.
She knew that once she left, she might never come back.
In a private nursing home in Switzerland, Jiang Mubai met the mysterious man. The man handed her a document and said, "Sign it, and your mother's illness can get the best treatment."
Jiang Mubai took the document, took a look at it, and his face turned pale instantly.
It was a...marriage agreement.
The groom's name is...
"Lu Jingshen." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, and he almost cried, "Why...why is it him?"
On the document, the groom's name was Lu Jingshen, Cheng Yunchuan's half-brother, a dandy boy whom she had always disliked and never looked at with any respect.
The man sneered, "Why? You don't want to? Don't forget your mother's medical expenses, and the debt you owe me."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "What's going on with my mother's illness?"
"Haha, your mother's illness, in fact, should be 'thanked' to your good boyfriend's father. Back then, the Cheng Group used many means to swallow up your family's company. Your mother couldn't stand the blow and became bedridden." The man's tone was full of sarcasm.
Jiang Mubai's face turned even paler. She had always thought that her mother's illness was just an accident, but she didn't expect that there was such a truth hidden behind it.
"If you sign this agreement, your mother can get the best treatment, and you can get rid of Cheng Yunchuan. Isn't this the best of both worlds for you?" The man handed the pen to her, with a greedy gleam in his eyes.
Jiang Mubai held the documents tightly in her hand, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She felt like she had fallen into a trap and could not escape no matter how hard she struggled.
Finally, she signed her name tremblingly.
After signing the agreement, the man left with satisfaction. Jiang Mubai sat alone in the room, tears falling silently. She felt extremely desperate and helpless, as if the whole world had abandoned her.
On the wedding day, Jiang Mubai wore a snow-white wedding dress, but she did not feel a trace of joy. She was like a puppet, at the mercy of others.
Lu Jingshen looked at the beautiful but cold woman in front of him, his heart full of doubts. He knew that there was no love between him and Jiang Mubai, and this wedding was just a transaction. However, he still couldn't help being attracted to her and touched by the faint sadness in her.
"Jiang Mubai, are you really willing to marry me?" Lu Jingshen asked softly in her ear.
Jiang Mubai turned his head and looked at him with empty eyes, "Do I have a choice?"
Lu Jingshen's heart ached slightly. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her cheek, but she dodged him.
After the wedding ceremony, Jiang Mubai was taken back to Lu Jingshen's home. This was a luxurious villa, decorated magnificently, but it made Jiang Mubai feel extremely depressed.
"From today on, you are my wife." Lu Jingshen looked at her with a hint of dominance in his tone.
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, but walked to the window silently and looked at the dark night sky outside.
"Do you hate me?" Lu Jingshen walked behind her and gently put his arms around her waist.
Jiang Mubai's body stiffened. She wanted to push him away, but found that she had no strength at all.
"Hate." She closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I hate you, I hate Cheng Yunchuan, I hate everyone."
Lu Jingshen hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "I know you hate me, but I will treat you well. I will make you forget Cheng Yunchuan and make you fall in love with me."
Jiang Mubai suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of mockery, "Falling in love with you? You're dreaming!"
She pushed Lu Jingshen away, turned around and ran out of the room.
Lu Jingshen looked at her leaving back, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew that it was not easy to conquer this woman.
After Jiang Mubai ran out of the villa, she wandered aimlessly on the street. She didn't know where to go, nor did she know what else she could do.
Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of her. The car window slowly lowered, revealing Cheng Yunchuan's familiar face.
"Mu Bai, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was full of anxiety.
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect to meet Cheng Yunchuan here.
"You...why are you here?"
Cheng Yunchuan did not answer her question, but opened the car door and got out. He walked up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Mu Bai, don't leave me, please."
Jiang Mubai's body trembled, and tears blurred her vision again. She hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life.
"Yunchuan..."
"Shh, don't say anything, just follow me." Cheng Yunchuan took her hand and took her to the car.
The car started and drove towards an unknown direction. Jiang Mubai leaned on Cheng Yunchuan's shoulder, her heart full of contradictions and struggles. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing, nor did she know what the future would be like.
But she knew that she couldn't lose Cheng Yunchuan, and this was her only belief now.
Just then, Cheng Yunchuan's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Hey?"
"Cheng Yunchuan, you'd better let Jiang Mubai go now, otherwise..." Lu Jingshen's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cheng Yunchuan sneered, "Lu Jingshen, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to order me around?"
"I am her husband."
"Husband?" Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have heard a funny joke. "What do you think a marriage certificate can prove? Mu Bai loves me, and she will never fall in love with you!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Lu Jingshen's low voice came: "We'll see."
Cheng Yunchuan hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out like an arrow. Jiang Mubai held the seat belt tightly, his face pale, but he didn't say a word. The car was silent, with only the whistling wind and the roar of the engine.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a private hospital. Cheng Yunchuan unbuckled his seat belt, turned his head and looked at Jiang Mubai, his tone gentle but with a hint of unquestionable: "Mubai, you need to rest, stay here for a few days first."
Jiang Mubai bit her lip, her eyes full of resistance. She didn't want to be alone with Cheng Yunchuan, especially in this situation. She was afraid that she would fall again, afraid that she would make a decision that she would regret again.
"I'm not going!" She turned her head away, her tone stiff.
Cheng Yunchuan sighed, reached out and gently stroked her hair, "Mu Bai, be obedient, you need to be taken care of now. Lu Jingshen will not find this place, I will keep you safe."
