Chapter 1287 Substitute

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Qin Yuanqing sighed and continued, "Unfortunately, fate played a trick on us. Jiang Muxue fell seriously ill and died soon. In order to fulfill her last wish, Cheng Yunchuan promised her that he would take good care of her sister, that is, you."

Jiang Mubai was stunned. It turned out that she was just a substitute, a substitute to comfort Cheng Yunchuan in his pain of losing his beloved.

"He approaches you and takes care of you because you look like Jiang Muxue. He regards you as her shadow, a living substitute." Qin Yuanqing ruthlessly revealed the cruel truth.

An indescribable feeling of nausea surged into Jiang Mubai's heart. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited.

In the coffee shop, Qin Yuanqing stirred the coffee gracefully, but his eyes were as cold as a venomous snake: "Miss Jiang, I have a very important document for Cheng Group in my hand,"

He put down the coffee spoon and looked directly at Jiang Mubai: "As long as you help me get Bangmang's business secrets, I will give you this document. In exchange, you can also thoroughly see Cheng Yunchuan's true face."

Bangmang, the company that Jiang Mubai signed with, is also the biggest competitor of Cheng Group. Qin Yuanqing wants her to be a commercial spy!

Jiang Mubai sneered: "Mr. Qin, you think too highly of me. I'm just a small artist. How can I get any commercial secrets?"

Qin Yuanqing didn't care: "Ms. Jiang, don't be modest. I know you are very capable. Besides, you don't want to be kept in the dark, right?"

"Even if I want to know the truth, I won't sell out my company. What's more, your so-called truth may not be true." Jiang Mubai rejected Qin Yuanqing's proposal without hesitation.

"Ms. Jiang, you are refusing to accept my toast! You'd better think it over carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you may never know the truth!" Qin Yuanqing's face suddenly darkened and his tone became cold.

Jiang Mubai met his gaze without fear: "The truth? I don't care about the truth at all! I just want Cheng Yunchuan to tell me in person!"

"You!" Qin Yuanqing was so angry that his face turned blue. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to be so stubborn.

Jiang Mubai stood up and looked down at Qin Yuanqing: "And don't play me like a fool anymore, I can see through your tricks at a glance!"

After saying that, Jiang Mubai left the coffee shop without looking back, leaving Qin Yuanqing alone, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out.

Coming out of the coffee shop, Jiang Mubai walked aimlessly on the street. The sky was gloomy, as if it would rain at any time. The leaves of the sycamore trees on the roadside rustled in the wind, as if they were laughing at her stupidity.

She didn't understand why she was always deceived and used. Was she destined to live in the shadow of others and never be able to escape?

"Jiang Mubai!"

A familiar voice came from behind. Jiang Mubai turned around suddenly and saw Cheng Yunchuan standing not far away, running towards her with an anxious look on his face.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere!" Cheng Yunchuan grabbed Jiang Mubai's hand, with a hint of panic in his tone.

Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan with mixed feelings. She wanted to ask him if what Qin Yuanqing said was true, but she was afraid to hear the answer that would break her heart.

"I..." Jiang Mubai opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"I... I'm fine." Jiang Mubai forced a smile and tried to pull his hand back, but Cheng Yunchuan held it even tighter.

Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were fixed on Jiang Mubai, and his voice was trembling slightly: "Don't lie to me, you look so bad, what happened?"

Jiang Mubai bit her lip, hesitating whether to tell Cheng Yunchuan about Qin Yuanqing. She was afraid that Cheng Yunchuan really treated her as a substitute for Jiang Muxue as Qin Yuanqing said.

"I..." Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Cheng Yunchuan.

"Come back with me first." Cheng Yunchuan pulled Jiang Mubai towards a black Maybach parked on the side of the road without saying anything.

In the car, Jiang Mubai remained silent, staring blankly at the street scene rapidly receding outside the window. Cheng Yunchuan also did not speak, but just concentrated on driving. The atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it made people breathless.

Back at Cheng Yunchuan's villa, Jiang Mubai could no longer hold back the doubts in her heart. She turned around abruptly, looked directly into Cheng Yunchuan's eyes, and asked word by word: "Is what Qin Yuanqing said true? You approached me because I look like your dead Bai Yueguang?"

Cheng Yunchuan's expression changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked at Jiang Mubai, his tone chillingly calm: "Mubai, let the past be the past. You just need to know that I like you now, and that's enough."

Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, and his eyes gradually turned red: "Enough! What do you think of me? A substitute who can be toyed with at will?"

Cheng Yunchuan's tone suddenly became tough. He grabbed Jiang Mubai's wrist with such force that he almost crushed her bones: "I didn't! I said, I like you now!"

Jiang Mubai sneered and shook off Cheng Yunchuan's hand: "Like? What you mean by like is to imprison me here, not letting me contact the outside world, not letting me know the truth?"

Cheng Yunchuan's tone was filled with a hint of annoyance: "I'm protecting you! The entertainment industry is a complicated place, and you are new and can be easily taken advantage of!"

Jiang Mubai laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, as if he had heard a joke: "Protect me? What you mean by protection is to keep me like a canary, deprive me of my freedom, and control my life?"

Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything, but just stared at Jiang Mubai with a complicated look in his eyes.

Jiang Mubai wiped away his tears and said in a terrifyingly calm tone: "Go away! I don't want to see you again."

Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. He turned around and left the villa without looking back, leaving Jiang Mubai alone, facing the empty room.

In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan did not show up again. Jiang Mubai locked herself in the room, not eating or drinking, and not contacting anyone. She felt like she was abandoned by the world, lonely, helpless, and desperate.

Until one day, she received a text message from an unknown number: "Do you want to know the truth? Come to the Galaxy Bar, I'll be waiting for you there."

Jiang Mubai hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go to the appointment. She wanted to know the truth and what Cheng Yunchuan thought of her.

In the dim light of the Galaxy Bar, a man was sitting in the corner with a glass of whiskey in his hand. It was Qin Yuanqing.
