Chapter 1101 The sudden truth
"Forced?" He repeated the word, his tone full of doubt and uncertainty.
Jiang Mubai nodded, tears blurring her vision again: "Yes, he forced me. I was very scared at the time and didn't dare to tell anyone. Later I found out that I was pregnant, I..."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled. He walked to Jiang Mubai, squatted down, and looked at her and the little treasure in her arms.
Jiang Mubai choked up, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid you won't believe me, I'm afraid you will... leave me."
Cheng Yunchuan reached out his hand and gently stroked Xiaobao's cheek. Xiaobao stopped crying and looked at him curiously. Cheng Yunchuan's heart was so soft at this moment.
He raised his head and looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain and struggle. He didn't know whether he should believe her or not, and he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Sophie suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Cheng, what are you still hesitating about? The evidence is irrefutable. How long do you want to be deceived by her?"
Cheng Yunchuan turned his head suddenly and stared at Sophie with cold eyes: "Shut up!"
Sophie was startled by his sharp eyes and subconsciously took a step back.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Jiang Mubai and said slowly: "Mubai, I..."
At this time, Xiaobao suddenly pointed at Sophie and said in a baby voice: "Auntie, you are a bad person! You don't like mommy, and you don't like me either!"
Sophie's face changed, and she suppressed her anger and said, "Little brat, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiaobao stared at her fearlessly: "I'm not talking nonsense! You are the bad guy! You always want to separate mom and dad!"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Xiaobao, and suddenly an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. He picked up Xiaobao and said to Jiang Mubai: "Mubai, let's go."
He held Xiaobao in his arms, held Jiang Mubai's hand, and left the house without looking back, leaving Sophie standing there alone, her face livid, shaking with anger.
Cheng Yunchuan brought Jiang Mubai and Xiaobao to a hotel. He opened a suite and asked Jiang Mubai and Xiaobao to rest first.
"Mubai," he sat on the bed and looked at Jiang Mubai, "Give me some time, let me think about it."
Jiang Mubai nodded. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan needed time to digest this sudden truth.
Cheng Yunchuan left the room, walked to the balcony of the hotel, and lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled the smoke ring. The night was dark, and his heart was just like the night, confused and hesitant.
He thought back to the day five years ago when Jiang Mubai suddenly left. He searched for her frantically, but could not find any trace of her. He thought she had betrayed him, and he hated her and himself.
Now that the truth has come out, he doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. He doesn't know how to face Jiang Mubai, nor how to face Xiaobao.
Just then, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Gu Jingchen.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.
"Cheng Yunchuan," Gu Jingchen said with a hint of pride, "I know what you are thinking. You want to know the truth of five years ago, right?"
"Cheng Yunchuan," Gu Jingchen said with a hint of smugness, "I know what you're thinking. You want to know the truth of five years ago, right?"
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles turned white, and he remained silent. In the smoke, his face looked even gloomier.
"If you want to know, come to the 'Night' bar. I'll wait for you here." After saying that, Gu Jingchen hung up the phone.
Cheng Yunchuan threw the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it with his foot. Night Bar, that was Gu Jingchen's territory. He knew it was a trap, but he still walked in without hesitation.
The lights in the bar were dim and the music was deafening. Cheng Yunchuan saw Gu Jingchen sitting in the corner at a glance. He was alone, shaking a glass of amber liquid in his hand, with a playful smile on his face.
Cheng Yunchuan walked over and sat down opposite him, his tone cold: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Jingchen chuckled and handed the glass to him: "Have a drink first?"
Cheng Yunchuan pushed his hand away, and the wine glass fell to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound, just like his mood at the moment. "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, get to the point."
Gu Jingchen was not annoyed. He slowly poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Five years ago, Jiang Mubai left you because of me."
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "What did you do to her?"
Gu Jingchen raised his lips with an evil smile: "I didn't do anything, I just let her know some truths, such as, you and she are not from the same world at all, for example, there will never be a future between you and her."
"You're talking nonsense!" Cheng Yunchuan roared.
Gu Jingchen took out a stack of photos from his pocket and threw them in front of Cheng Yunchuan. The photos showed Cheng Yunchuan and Sophie together, talking and laughing, behaving intimately.
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly. These photos were taken five years ago, when he and Sophie were indeed very close. He always thought that Sophie was just his friend, and he never thought of betraying Jiang Mubai.
"Mu Bai saw these photos and became disheartened, so he chose to leave you." Gu Jingchen's voice was like the whisper of a devil, echoing in Cheng Yunchuan's ears.
Cheng Yunchuan sat dejectedly on the chair with a hollow look in his eyes. He had always thought that Jiang Mubai left voluntarily, and he had always thought that she abandoned him because she fell in love with another man. Now, the truth was so cruel that he could hardly accept it.
"Why are you doing this?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was hoarse and full of pain.
Gu Jingchen shrugged, looking innocent: "I just want to help her see the reality. You and her are not suitable at all."
"Shut up!" Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly and grabbed Gu Jingchen by the collar. "What qualifications do you have to say this? You don't understand the relationship between us at all!"
"Feelings? Ha," Gu Jingchen sneered, "your so-called feelings are nothing but a joke in her eyes."
Cheng Yunchuan was furious and punched Gu Jingchen in the face. Gu Jingchen didn't dodge and took the punch head-on. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but he smiled, and laughed even more wildly.
"Hit her, hit her as much as you want. The harder you hit her, the more it proves how much you care about her. But what's the use? She doesn't love you anymore."
Cheng Yunchuan's hand stopped in mid-air, his body was trembling, and his eyes were full of pain and despair.
"Cheng Yunchuan," Gu Jingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone suddenly became serious, "I tell you this not to laugh at you, nor to show off. I just want you to understand that you have lost her, completely."
