Chapter 925 Why are you?
"Hello?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled a little.
"Jiang Mubai, what are you doing?! The internet is full of photos of you hugging and kissing a man! Do you know what time it is? Clarify it right now! Say he's your brother, your cousin, or anything else! In short, you can't admit that he's your boyfriend!" Lisa's voice was sharp and piercing, like a knife stabbing into Jiang Mubai's heart.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm, "Lisa, I am..."
"What are you talking about now? Do you know how many endorsements and announcements we lost because of you? You..." Lisa's roar came to an abrupt end. A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Lisa, calm down, let me talk to him."
After a moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded, "Jiang Mubai, I'm President Lin. I already know what happened on the Internet. Don't worry, I will take care of it. But you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Jiang Mubai's knuckles turned white as he held the phone. He had a feeling that the next words would not be good news. "What are the conditions?"
"Marry me." Mr. Lin's voice was terrifyingly calm, but it sounded like a bomb exploding in Jiang Mubai's ears.
Jiang Mubai was stunned. He wondered if he had heard it wrongly. "Marry? With... with you?"
"That's right," Mr. Lin said with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice, "As long as you agree to marry me, I will help you solve this crisis, and I will give you the best resources to make you a real superstar."
Jiang Mubai felt that it was becoming difficult for him to breathe. He was like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, but was afraid that this straw would drag him into a deeper abyss.
He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "I...I need time to think about it."
"Okay," Mr. Lin said, without any emotion in his voice. "I'll give you one day. I hope to hear your answer at this time tomorrow."
The call was hung up, Jiang Mubai dropped his hands weakly, the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. Marry? He had never thought about marrying a man, let alone a man he didn't even know.
But if he doesn't agree, what will he do? He will be hidden, banned, and lose everything.
He closed his eyes in despair, feeling like a butterfly trapped in a spider web. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the control of fate.
At this time, there was another knock on the door. Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. He had a bad feeling... He opened the door and saw Cheng Yunchuan standing outside. He was holding a medicine box in his hand and looking at him with complicated eyes.
"Let me treat your wound." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and gentle, completely different from the anger just now.
Jiang Mubai was stunned. He looked at Cheng Yunchuan, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Cheng Yunchuan walked around him, walked into the room, put the medicine box on the table, then turned to look at Jiang Mubai, "Your foot is injured, why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Mubai then remembered that his ankle was still sprained. He lowered his head and looked at his swollen ankle, feeling a sour feeling in his heart.
Cheng Yunchuan walked up to him, squatted down, and gently held his ankle, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Mubai's nose felt sore and tears almost fell. He bit his lip and shook his head, "No...it doesn't hurt."
Cheng Yunchuan raised his head, looked at Jiang Mubai's red eyes, and sighed distressedly, "Silly."
He reached out and gently stroked Jiang Mubai's hair, "Don't cry, everything will be fine."
Jiang Mubai couldn't hold back any longer, and threw himself into Cheng Yunchuan's arms, bursting into tears.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Mr. Lin stood at the door, his face livid, his eyes coldly staring at the two people hugging each other...
Mr. Lin's appearance was like a basin of ice water, extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in Jiang Mubai's heart. He hurriedly broke free from Cheng Yunchuan's arms and stood there awkwardly, at a loss.
Cheng Yunchuan stood up slowly, protecting Jiang Mubai behind him, and looked directly at Mr. Lin with cold eyes, "Mr. Lin, why are you here so late? What's the matter?"
President Lin ignored Cheng Yunchuan. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Mubai. His tone was icy cold. "Is this the result of your consideration? Hugging another man is your answer to me?"
Jiang Mubai's face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word. He felt like a prisoner being tried, unable to resist under the powerful aura of Mr. Lin.
"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood, I just..." Jiang Mubai tried to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Mr. Lin.
"I saw it with my own eyes. What other explanation do I need? Jiang Mubai, you'd better remember that everything you have was given by me. Don't be so shameless!" Every word of Mr. Lin was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Jiang Mubai's heart.
Cheng Yunchuan couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Mubai, saying in a tough tone, "Boss Lin, please be more respectful when you speak! Mubai is my friend, I won't allow you to insult him like this!"
Mr. Lin sneered, "Friend? I think it's a mistress! Cheng Yunchuan, you'd better not meddle in other people's business, otherwise, I will deal with you too!"
"You..." Cheng Yunchuan was furious and clenched his fists, but he held back. He knew that now was not the time to break up with Mr. Lin.
"Mubai, let's go!" Cheng Yunchuan took Jiang Mubai's hand and was about to leave.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Mr. Lin took a step forward, grabbed Jiang Mubai's wrist, pulled him in front of him with force.
"Ah!" Jiang Mubai screamed, feeling a sharp pain in his ankle. He staggered and almost fell.
"Mubai!" Cheng Yunchuan quickly supported Jiang Mubai and looked at him distressedly, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Mubai's face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead. He bit his lip and shook his head, "I... I'm fine."
President Lin looked at the intimate behavior of the two, his eyes became more sinister, "Jiang Mubai, I will give you one last chance, marry me, or you will be ruined!"
Jiang Mubai closed his eyes in pain. He knew that he had no way out.
At this time, Cheng Yunchuan suddenly said, "Boss Lin, I promise you on behalf of Mu Bai."
Jiang Mubai and Mr. Lin were both stunned and looked at Cheng Yunchuan in disbelief.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Mr. Lin firmly and said word by word, "I, Cheng Yunchuan, am willing to marry you in place of Jiang Mubai."
The room was silent, as if the air had frozen.
Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes, looked Cheng Yunchuan up and down, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Cheng Yunchuan, are you sure? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Cheng Yunchuan nodded without hesitation, "I'm sure."
President Lin suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of ridicule and disdain, "Cheng Yunchuan, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to replace him? What gives you the right?"
