Chapter 1095 You Have to Pay It Back After All
Cheng Yunchuan fell into deep self-blame and pain. He locked himself in the room, not eating, drinking, or talking. He recalled every detail of his time with Susan, Susan's hysterical voice, and the muffled sound on the phone. He hated himself for not handling his relationship with Susan earlier, and hated himself for indirectly killing Susan.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's painful expression and felt distressed. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan needed time to digest all this and to get out of the shadow. She accompanied him silently, cooking for him, washing clothes for him, and comforting him.
However, Susan's death was like a time bomb that could explode at any time and blow them to pieces. Susan's parents blamed Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai for Susan's death. They hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit against Cheng Yunchuan, demanding that Cheng Yunchuan compensate for the huge losses.
The media also swarmed in like sharks smelling blood. They reported Susan's death extensively, portraying Cheng Yunchuan as a heartless man and Jiang Mubai as a third party. The overwhelming negative news overwhelmed Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai.
Cheng Yunchuan's career was also hit hard by this. The brands he endorsed terminated their contracts one after another, and his movies were also withdrawn from the schedule. Overnight, he went from being a shining star to a notorious sinner.
Jiang Mubai's career was also affected, but she did not give up. She knew that she had to be strong and support Cheng Yunchuan. She worked hard, took care of Cheng Yunchuan, dealt with the siege of the media, and faced the difficulties of Susan's parents.
Under tremendous pressure, Jiang Mubai began to feel overwhelmed. She began to suffer from insomnia, anxiety, and self-doubt. She didn't know whether her love with Cheng Yunchuan could continue.
One night, Jiang Mubai returned home and found that Cheng Yunchuan was not there. She called Cheng Yunchuan, but found that Cheng Yunchuan's phone was turned off. An ominous premonition came to her mind, and she frantically searched for Cheng Yunchuan and finally found him in the hospital.
Cheng Yunchuan was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and his eyes closed. The doctor told Jiang Mubai that Cheng Yunchuan had suffered a mental breakdown due to excessive stress and long-term insomnia.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan on the hospital bed, tears streaming down her face. She held Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, calling his name over and over again.
"Yunchuan, wake up, look at me, I am Mu Bai..."
Suddenly, Cheng Yunchuan's fingers moved slightly...
Cheng Yunchuan moved his fingers, and then slowly opened his eyes. He saw Jiang Mubai's tearful face and smiled weakly, "Mubai, I'm fine..."
Jiang Mubai hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly and cried like a child. "You scared me to death, do you know that?"
Cheng Yunchuan patted Jiang Mubai's back gently and comforted him, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Cheng Yunchuan stayed in the hospital for a few days and gradually recovered. During this time, Jiang Mubai took care of him all the time, telling him jokes, singing for him, and telling him interesting stories from the outside world. Cheng Yunchuan's mental state also gradually improved, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
After being discharged from the hospital, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai returned to their home. Everything had changed, but it seemed that nothing had changed. Susan's death was still like a thorn in their hearts, but they learned how to coexist with this thorn.
Cheng Yunchuan's career is still at a low point, but he did not give up. He began to try new things, such as writing scripts and directing. Jiang Mubai has also been supporting him, encouraging him and giving him confidence.
Susan's parents still did not give up the lawsuit against Cheng Yunchuan, and the media attacks never stopped. But Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai are no longer as scared as before. They have learned how to deal with these pressures and how to protect themselves.
One night, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai sat on the balcony, looking at the starry sky.
"Mu Bai," Cheng Yunchuan suddenly said, "Let's get married."
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect Cheng Yunchuan to propose marriage at this time.
"Yunchuan..."
"I know the current situation is very bad and my career has plummeted, but I don't want to wait any longer. I want to give you a status and I want you to be my wife." Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai affectionately, his eyes full of determination.
Jiang Mubai's tears flowed again, but this time they were tears of happiness. "Okay, I promise you."
Their wedding was simple, with only a few relatives and friends invited. There was no gorgeous decoration, no luxurious ceremony, but this wedding was full of love and warmth.
After marriage, Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai's life became sweeter. They cooked together, watched movies together, and traveled together. They faced the challenges of life together and shared each other's happiness and sorrow.
Cheng Yunchuan's career gradually improved. The script he wrote was picked up by a large film and television company and successfully adapted into a movie. The movie was a huge success, and Cheng Yunchuan returned to the public eye.
However, just when they thought everything would be fine, an accident happened. Jiang Mubai was pregnant. This news made them both happy and worried. The surprise was that they were about to welcome a new life; the worry was that Jiang Mubai's physical condition had always been poor, and pregnancy was a huge challenge for her.
Cheng Yunchuan turned down all his work and concentrated on taking care of Jiang Mubai. He made nutritious meals for Jiang Mubai in different ways every day, took walks with her, told her stories, and made her happy.
Jiang Mubai's pregnancy reaction was very strong, but she was strong and she knew that for the sake of her child, she had to persevere.
As the days passed, Jiang Mubai's belly grew bigger and bigger. Cheng Yunchuan became more and more nervous. He was worried every day, fearing that Jiang Mubai would have an accident.
Finally, the due date arrived. Jiang Mubai was sent to the hospital. Cheng Yunchuan waited anxiously outside the delivery room, his palms full of sweat.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cheng, it's a girl." The nurse came out holding a pink baby.
Cheng Yunchuan excitedly took the child, and his heart melted when he looked at her little face.
"Where is Mu Bai?" Cheng Yunchuan asked.
"Miss Jiang is still in there. She's a little tired and needs to rest." said the nurse.
Cheng Yunchuan walked into the delivery room holding the baby. Jiang Mubai was lying on the bed, looking pale, but with a happy smile on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mu Bai." Cheng Yunchuan said with concern.
"Seeing our daughter, I feel that everything is worth it." Jiang Mubai said with a smile.
Cheng Yunchuan placed the child next to Jiang Mubai, and the family of three snuggled together.
However, at this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a strange man walked in. He walked straight to Jiang Mubai's bed and said coldly: "Jiang Mubai, do you think you are safe hiding here? You have to pay me back after all!"
