Chapter 951 What to Treat
Chapter 951 What to Treat
Cheng Yunchuan returned to the apartment in a daze. In the empty room, Jiang Mubai's presence seemed to linger. He turned on the computer and clicked on the email with trembling hands. Every word in the divorce agreement stung his eyes like a needle.
He recalled the day at the Cheng family villa when Jiang Mubai faced his father's questioning and said lightly, "What is the Su family?" Thinking about it now, it seemed to have a deeper meaning. The Su family...his engagement with Su Wan...was it because of this?
He suddenly remembered Su Wan's resentful eyes and hysterical roar that day, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He immediately called Su Wan.
"Su Wan, Mu Bai wants to divorce me. Is it you who did it?" Cheng Yunchuan asked in a hurried tone with a hint of questioning.
Su Wan on the other end of the phone chuckled, with a hint of pride in her tone. "Cheng Yunchuan, have you finally come to your senses? A woman like Jiang Mubai is not worthy of you at all! Only I am your best choice."
"What did you do to her?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"I didn't do anything," Su Wan pretended to be innocent, "She wanted to leave you on her own. But I did help her a little, letting her see the true face of your Cheng family and your hypocrisy towards her."
"You..." Cheng Yunchuan was furious, but he was powerless to refute. He finally understood that all this was Su Wan's conspiracy! She took advantage of Jiang Mubai's disdain for the Su family and deliberately angered her, making her break with the Cheng family, and finally achieving her goal of making her leave her.
He hung up the phone fiercely and threw it to the ground angrily. The screen shattered, just like his mood at the moment. He sat dejectedly on the sofa, his mind in a mess.
Suddenly, a piece of news popped up on the computer screen: the famous movie star Jiang Mubai announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and will hold a wedding in a month. The groom is...
Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly, staring at the name on the screen, his pupils suddenly contracted. The groom was... a business tycoon, the president of the Huo Group, Huo Lin!
Huo Lin... the man who was rumored to be cold-blooded and ruthless? Jiang Mubai was actually going to marry him?
Cheng Yunchuan felt that his world had completely collapsed at this moment. He staggered back a few steps and fell on the sofa, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.
At this moment, the doorbell of the apartment suddenly rang. He walked over mechanically and opened the door. A man in a suit and tie stood outside the door, holding a document in his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng. I am a lawyer from the legal department of Huo's Group. This is what Mr. Huo asked me to pass on to you..." The lawyer handed the document to Cheng Yunchuan with a cold tone, "Pre-marital Property Notarization Agreement."
Cheng Yunchuan felt his blood freeze. Huo Lin? Jiang Mubai was going to marry the man who was as high and mighty as an emperor? A pre-nuptial property notarization agreement? Was everything Su Wan said true? Jiang Mubai approached him from the beginning just to use him, to get back at the Su family, to get close to Huo Lin?
He mechanically took the document, and the moment his fingertips touched the paper, he retracted his fingers as if he had been electrocuted. He could not accept this fact, and could not accept that Jiang Mubai had left him so decisively and thrown himself into the arms of another man.
"Mr. Cheng, please sign." The lawyer's voice was calm, like a sharp knife, stabbing his heart.
Sign? How could he sign? He threw the document to the ground and yelled hysterically, "I won't sign! She can't do that! Why does she do this to me?"
The lawyer pushed his glasses and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Cheng, this is what Mr. Huo meant. If you refuse to sign, we will take legal action."
Cheng Yunchuan slumped down on the sofa, his eyes empty, like a body without a soul. He remembered what Jiang Mubai once said to him: "Yunchuan, I want a home, a home that truly belongs to us."
Thinking about it now, it was so ironic! What she wanted was never a home with him, but the Huo family, Huo Lin!
He covered his face in pain, tears streaming from between his fingers. He hated Jiang Mubai, hated her deception and betrayal; he also hated himself, hated his stupidity and naivety.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. It was Jiang Mubai. He hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai's voice was very soft, with a hint of fatigue, "Are you okay?"
"Okay? You're asking me if I'm okay?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was trembling, with a hint of tears in his voice, "You're about to marry someone else, and you're asking me if I'm okay?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Jiang Mubai sighed: "Yunchuan, I'm sorry. There are some things I can't tell you now. But I hope you believe me, I never thought of hurting you."
"Believe you? How can I believe you?" Cheng Yunchuan roared, "You keep saying you love me, but you want to marry Huo Lin! What do you think I am? A plaything?"
"No, Yunchuan, listen to me..."
"I don't want to hear it!" Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her, "Jiang Mubai, I wish you happiness! I wish you and Mr. Huo a long and happy marriage!"
He hung up the phone angrily and threw it to the ground. The screen shattered again, just like his broken heart at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door. He opened the door impatiently, and outside stood a tall, cold-tempered woman, Jiang Mubai.
She was wearing a simple white dress, without a trace of makeup on her face, but she was still breathtakingly beautiful. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, and a hint of... emotions that he couldn't see through.
"Yunchuan..." she called softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her coldly without saying anything.
Jiang Mubai bit his lip, walked forward, and reached out to touch his cheek.
Cheng Yunchuan took a step back suddenly and avoided her hand.
"Don't touch me!" He said in a cold tone with a hint of disgust.
Jiang Mubai's hand froze in mid-air, and a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes.
"Yunchuan, please listen to my explanation..."
"Explain?" Cheng Yunchuan sneered, "What do you want to explain? Explain why you wanted to marry Huo Lin? Explain why you lied to me? Explain why you wanted to play with my feelings?"
Jiang Mubai's eyes turned red and tears welled up in them.
"Yunchuan, I..."
"That's enough!" Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her, "I don't want to hear any explanation from you! Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
After he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, locking Jiang Mubai out.
Jiang Mubai stood outside the door, tears finally streaming down her cheeks. She leaned against the door helplessly, listening to the sound of something breaking inside, her heart aching.
Suddenly, the door opened again. Cheng Yunchuan stood at the door, looking at her with complicated eyes.
"Come in." His voice was low and a little hoarse.
