Chapter 1028 Grief
The lawyer looked at her grief-stricken expression, sighed, and said, "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Cheng has something else to say to you in his will."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes.
The lawyer cleared his throat and said, "Mu Bai, I'm sorry. I broke my promise and couldn't stay with you until the end. But I hope you can live well and see the beauty of this world for me. Forget me and start your life again. Also, the child... the child is not mine..."
"What?!" Jiang Mubai's eyes widened in shock, as if he had heard something incredible. The child wasn't Cheng Yunchuan's? Whose was it? Could it be... Could it be...
She suddenly remembered Cheng Yunchuan's distraught look that day, and remembered him saying that Li Cheng wanted him to admit that the child was not his. Could it be... Could it be that Cheng Yunchuan deliberately admitted that the child was his in order to protect her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly twitched, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She felt like she had fallen into a huge conspiracy, and she knew nothing about it.
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly broke out on TV: "Famous movie star Cheng Yunchuan committed suicide. The police initially determined that it was caused by depression..."
On the news screen, stills of Cheng Yunchuan and interview clips before his death were played. Jiang Mubai stared at the TV blankly, tears falling silently.
Suddenly, the scene changed and a familiar figure appeared - Li Cheng. He stood in front of the camera and said with a sad face: "Yunchuan was my good brother. His departure made me very sad. I hope everyone can respect the deceased and stop spreading false rumors..."
Seeing Li Cheng's hypocritical face, Jiang Mubai's doubts deepened. She felt like a puppet, being controlled by an invisible hand, and she was powerless to resist.
At this time, the doorbell rang again. Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was...
Standing outside the door is... Li Cheng.
He was wearing a black suit and looked solemn, but he was holding a bunch of white lilies in his hand, which was particularly dazzling. Jiang Mubai was stunned and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to close the door.
"Mu Bai, I know you are very sad now, but there are some things I must tell you." Li Cheng blocked the door, his tone low and sad.
Jiang Mubai looked at his hypocritical face, his heart filled with disgust and fear. "Go away! I don't want to see you!"
Li Cheng had no intention of retreating, but pushed the door open with more force and walked straight in. "Mu Bai, listen to me, there is another hidden story behind Yunchuan's death..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Mubai roared, "Cheng Yunchuan committed suicide! It's all on the news!"
Li Cheng sneered, "News? Ha, news can be manipulated, don't you know that?" He walked up to Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of aggression, "Mubai, you are too naive. There are many things in this world that are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
Jiang Mubai was forced to retreat again and again until his back was against the wall, with no way to retreat. "You...what do you want to do?"
Li Cheng approached her, reached out and stroked her cheek, his tone was so gentle that it was creepy. "Mu Bai, I know you hate me, but everything I did was for you. Yun Chuan...he doesn't deserve you."
Jiang Mubai turned his head away in disgust, trying to avoid his touch. "Let me go! You lunatic!"
"Mad?" Li Cheng suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of madness, "Yes, I am crazy! I can do anything for you!" He suddenly grabbed Jiang Mubai's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. "Mubai, you can only be mine! No one can take you away from me!"
Jiang Mubai struggled desperately, but couldn't break free from his grip. "Let me go! Help!"
Li Cheng ignored her resistance and kissed her lips. Jiang Mubai felt nauseous and bit his tongue hard.
"Ah!" Li Cheng let go of her in pain, covered his mouth and took a few steps back.
Jiang Mubai took the opportunity to escape, ran to the door, opened it and wanted to run out.
"Want to run?" Li Cheng's cold voice sounded behind her, "Do you think you can escape?"
Jiang Mubai looked back and saw Li Cheng walking towards her step by step with a shining dagger in his hand.
Fear surged into her heart like a tide, and Jiang Mubai turned and ran. She stumbled downstairs, rushed out of the villa, and ran forward desperately.
Li Cheng chased after him relentlessly, shouting as he ran: "Mu Bai! You can't run away! Come back obediently, I won't hurt you!"
Jiang Mubai didn't dare to believe what he said. She ran desperately, just wanting to get as far away from him as possible.
Suddenly, a black car came speeding from the corner. Jiang Mubai couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard and flew out...
……
In a coma, Jiang Mubai seemed to have returned to her childhood. She saw herself as a child, playing with a boy in the park on a sunny afternoon. The boy had a pair of gentle eyes, and when he smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Mu Bai, when I grow up, I will marry you as my bride!" the boy said seriously.
The little girl lowered her head shyly and whispered, "I don't want to marry you!"
But the boy hugged her and whispered in her ear: "You will definitely marry me! Because... I like you!"
Jiang Mubai suddenly woke up and found herself lying on a hospital bed. She struggled to sit up, but felt sore and weak all over.
A familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Are you awake?"
Jiang Mubai turned around and saw that it was... Cheng Yunchuan? !
Isn't he dead?
Cheng Yunchuan sat beside the bed, looking at her gently, his eyes full of worry. "Mu Bai, how do you feel?"
Jiang Mubai couldn't believe his eyes, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch his face.
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand and placed it on his face. "It's me, Mu Bai. I'm not dead."
"But...but on the news..." Jiang Mubai said incoherently.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled bitterly, "That was all Li Cheng's fault. He wanted to get you, so he created my 'death'."
Jiang Mubai finally understood that all this was Li Cheng's conspiracy. She was filled with anger and fear. If Cheng Yunchuan hadn't appeared in time, she would probably have...
"Don't be afraid, Mu Bai. Now that I'm back, I will protect you." Cheng Yunchuan held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, "I love you, Mu Bai."
Jiang Mubai couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst out. She hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly, as if she wanted to merge him into her body.
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open...
Standing outside the door was Cheng Yunchuan's mother, a woman Jiang Mubai had never met before. She looked very haggard, with red and swollen eyes, as if she had been crying for a long time.
