Chapter 991 Guardian
"Brother Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai pointed downstairs, his voice trembling, "Those reporters..."
Cheng Yunchuan followed her gaze and frowned slightly. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
As he said this, he turned around and went downstairs. He walked to the door and faced the reporters who were swarming in, still keeping an elegant smile on his face. "Good morning, friends from the press. I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, but now is not the right time. Please give me some time. I will hold a press conference as soon as possible to explain everything to you."
"Mr. Cheng, what is your relationship with Jiang Mubai?" a reporter asked loudly.
"Mr. Cheng, is Jiang Mubai the movie queen Bai Lu who disappeared a few years ago?" another reporter asked.
"Mr. Cheng, are you and Jiang Mubai already living together?"
……
The reporters' questions bombarded Cheng Yunchuan one after another like a string of cannonballs. Cheng Yunchuan's face gradually darkened, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai walked down from upstairs, stood beside Cheng Yunchuan, and held his hand tightly. She took a deep breath and looked at the reporters in front of her, her eyes full of determination. "Dear journalist friends, I am Jiang Mubai, also known as Bai Lu."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene. Reporters raised their cameras and took a lot of photos of Jiang Mubai.
"Yes, I am Bai Lu. A few years ago, I chose to retire due to some personal reasons. Now, I am back, and I hope everyone can give me some space and let me start over." Although Jiang Mubai's voice was a little trembling, it was full of strength.
"Ms. Jiang, may I ask why you retired back then?"
"Miss Jiang, what is your relationship with Li Jingchen?"
"Ms. Jiang, are you planning to continue your acting career this time when you make a comeback?"
……
The reporters' questions flooded in again, but Jiang Mubai just smiled. "I will explain these questions in detail at the press conference. Now, please leave and don't disturb our lives."
After saying that, Jiang Mubai took Cheng Yunchuan's hand, turned around and walked into the house, slamming the door shut.
The reporters were turned away, but did not leave. Instead, they continued to wait outside, hoping to get more information.
Inside the house, Jiang Mubai leaned in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, trembling all over. "Brother Yunchuan, I'm scared..."
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly and stroked her hair gently. "Don't be afraid, Mu Bai, I'm here, no one can hurt you."
"But... I'm afraid they will hurt you..." Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of worry.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Silly girl, how could I let them hurt me? Who am I? I am Cheng Yunchuan!" His tone was teasing, but also full of confidence.
"Puchi..." Jiang Mubai was amused by him, and the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's go have breakfast." Cheng Yunchuan took her hand and walked into the restaurant.
On the dining table, there was a sumptuous breakfast, including Chinese steamed dumplings and Western bread and milk. Jiang Mubai looked at the food and suddenly felt hungry.
"Wow, so many delicious foods!" She picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and her eyes lit up, "It's delicious!"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her eating with gusto and smiled indulgently. "If you like it, eat more."
The two of them ate breakfast and chatted, the atmosphere was warm and sweet.
However, at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Jiang Mubai's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, her eyes full of questions.
Cheng Yunchuan stood up to open the door. Standing outside was a man in a black suit, wearing sunglasses and looking serious. "Hello, Mr. Cheng. I'm a lawyer for the Li Group. My name is Li Ming."
Hearing the words "Li Group", Jiang Mubai's face turned pale instantly, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound...
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale, and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a crisp sound, like a stone thrown into her confused heart. Li Group, these four words entangled her like a nightmare, making her almost breathless. Cheng Yunchuan noticed her abnormality, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Mubai, it's okay, I'm here."
He turned around and faced Li Ming, saying in a cold tone: "Lawyer of the Li Group? What do you want from me?"
Li Ming pushed up his sunglasses and took out a document from his briefcase: "Mr. Cheng, this is what Mr. Li asked me to pass on to you."
Cheng Yunchuan took the document and scanned it quickly, frowning more and more. Jiang Mubai nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes, his eyes full of anxiety.
"What is this?" she asked in a trembling voice.
Cheng Yunchuan handed the document to her, and said in a heavy tone: "Li Jingchen wants to sue you for the custody of Xiaonian."
Jiang Mubai felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted. Xiao Nian was her lifeblood, she absolutely could not lose him!
"Impossible!" She raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, "Xiao Nian is my child, why did he snatch him away!"
Li Ming said expressionlessly: "Ms. Jiang, according to the law, the custody of an illegitimate child must be decided by the court. Mr. Li is the biological father of the child, and he has the right to fight for custody."
"Biological father?" Jiang Mubai sneered, "Does he deserve it? For so many years, he has never cared about Xiao Nian. Now he suddenly appears and wants to snatch the child. What is he thinking?"
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand tightly and gave her strength: "Mubai, don't worry, I will hire the best lawyer, and we will definitely win."
Li Ming smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Li has hired the best team of lawyers in the industry. I'm afraid you don't have much hope of winning this lawsuit."
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes turned cold: "Then let's give it a try."
Li Ming said no more and turned to leave. Cheng Yunchuan closed the door and hugged Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, feeling her body trembling.
"Brother Yunchuan, what should I do?" Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with tears, "I can't lose Xiaonian, he is my only support..."
Cheng Yunchuan kissed her forehead lovingly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Mu Bai, I'll take care of everything. I will protect you and Xiao Nian and won't let anyone hurt you."
Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms and gradually calmed down. She knew that this lawsuit would be a tough battle, but she would not give up. She would do her best for Xiao Nian!
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan invited the best lawyer team to prepare for the custody battle. Jiang Mubai also actively cooperated and provided various evidences to prove that he was the best guardian of Xiao Nian.
