Chapter 1128 Hidden Secret
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly, as if all his strength had been drained away. He looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
"Mu Bai..." He spoke with difficulty, "I..."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"Yunchuan, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions, "My grandpa... is critically ill, I have to go back immediately."
Jiang Mubai's face also turned pale. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan had a deep relationship with his grandfather, and this was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
"Go, Yunchuan," Jiang Mubai suppressed his uneasiness, "your grandfather needs you."
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand tightly, his eyes full of reluctance and worry.
"Mu Bai, wait for me to come back."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left the ward, leaving Jiang Mubai alone to face the cold marriage agreement and the unknown future...
Jiang Mubai looked at the marriage agreement, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart. Jiang Mubai's threat was like a heavy yoke, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe. Her whole body was trembling slightly, as if the whole world was falling on her.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong?" Nurse Xiao Liu walked in and asked worriedly when she saw her like this.
Jiang Mubai forced a smile and shook his head, "It's okay, thank you, Xiao Liu."
Xiao Liu frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. "Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything."
After Xiao Liu left, Jiang Mubai gently stroked her pale face. What should she do now? Should she really follow Jiang Mubai's arrangement and marry that scumbag?
She looked out the window with a confused look in her eyes. At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and a tall figure stood at the door.
That was Lin Xue, Jiang Mubai's long-time friend. She walked to the bedside and saw the marriage agreement in Jiang Mubai's hand, frowning slightly.
"Mu Bai, what is going on?" There was a hint of seriousness in Lin Xue's voice.
Jiang Mubai sighed softly and told Lin Xue everything. After Lin Xue finished listening, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.
"He's gone too far! We can't just let this go." Lin Xue clenched her fists and said indignantly.
Jiang Mubai bit his lip, his eyes slightly red, "But, what can I do? He has the evidence in his hand, I..."
Lin Xue smiled slightly, with wisdom glittering in her eyes, "Don't worry, Mu Bai. We will find a way. Don't worry, I will discuss it with Cheng Yunchuan to see if we can come up with a solution."
After hearing Lin Xue's words, Jiang Mubai felt a little comforted. She nodded and tried to calm herself down.
At the same time, Cheng Yunchuan hurried home. His grandfather's illness weighed heavily on his heart, but he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Mubai. He made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he would protect her and would not let Jiang Mubai's conspiracy succeed.
After returning home, Cheng Yunchuan saw his father with a sad face. He stretched out his hands, gently patted his father's shoulders, and comforted him: "Dad, I will do everything I can to save grandpa."
My father nodded and said softly, "Your grandfather is waiting for you, go see him."
Cheng Yunchuan walked into the room and saw his grandfather lying on the bed. The once majestic old man had now become old and weak. When his grandfather saw Cheng Yunchuan coming in, he raised his head from the pillow with difficulty, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Yunchuan," Grandpa's voice was weak but full of affection, "Grandpa wants to ask you for help with something."
Cheng Yunchuan hurried to the bed and held his grandfather's hand tightly, "Grandpa, please tell me."
Grandpa took out a yellowed old notebook from under the pillow with great effort and handed it to Cheng Yunchuan: "This is a secret I have been hiding. Maybe it can help you solve your troubles."
Cheng Yunchuan took the notebook, his hands trembling slightly. He didn't know what was written in the notebook, but he knew that it must be something important that his grandfather left for him.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I will keep it well and will never let it fall into the hands of others."
Grandpa nodded, his eyes became increasingly blurred, and his voice became increasingly weaker: "Yunchuan, remember, no matter what happens, you must cherish the people you love..."
After saying that, grandpa closed his eyes, as if he fell into a deep dream.
Cheng Yunchuan stood by the bed, silently watching his grandfather's peaceful face, and made up his mind - no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would do his best to protect Jiang Mubai and his cherished family. No matter what the price, he would not let Jiang Mubai succeed.
He turned and left the room, heading towards an unknown but challenging future.
Cheng Yunchuan walked out of his grandfather's room, holding the yellowed notebook tightly in his hand. The cover of the notebook was a little damaged, and the rough texture seemed to tell the traces of time. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. His grandfather's last words made him feel that the responsibility on his shoulders was even heavier.
He walked to the study, closed the door gently, and sat down at the desk. The dim light sprinkled on the notebook, adding a touch of mystery. He slowly turned to the first page of the notebook, and a line of beautiful handwriting came into view: "My son Yunchuan, when you see this diary, I may no longer be in this world..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart trembled suddenly, and a feeling of bitterness surged in his heart. He continued to read. The diary recorded his grandfather's experience when he was young, as well as a secret that had been buried for many years - a secret about the Jiang family.
The diary mentioned that Jiang Zhenhai, Jiang Mubai's father, was his grandfather's business partner when he was young. The two had worked together for many years and had a close relationship. However, an unexpected business dispute turned the two into enemies. In order to swallow up his grandfather's company, Jiang Zhenhai did not hesitate to use despicable means, which eventually led to his grandfather's bankruptcy and the decline of the family.
Cheng Yunchuan's breathing became rapid. He didn't expect that there was such a feud between the Jiang family and his own family. He continued to flip through the diary, which recorded more about Jiang Zhenhai's misdeeds and how he developed the Jiang family step by step.
Seeing this, Cheng Yunchuan couldn't help but clench his fists. He finally understood why Jiang Mubai forced Jiang Mubai to marry that scumbag. This was not just for money, but also for revenge!
He slammed the notebook shut, anger boiling in his chest. He couldn't accept the Jiang family's treatment of Jiang Mubai, and couldn't forgive them for the harm they had done to his grandfather.
He picked up his phone and called Lin Xue.
"Lin Xue, are you free now? I want to talk to you." His voice was low and hoarse.
"Yunchuan? What happened? You don't sound well." Lin Xue asked with concern.
"I found out something about the Jiang family..." Cheng Yunchuan paused and took a deep breath, "I'll go to your house now, and we'll talk about it when we meet."
