Chapter 1286 It’s Over Between Us
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned a little ugly. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Jiang Mubai looked at him, his eyes filled with disappointment and pain.
"Yunchuan, I thought we were truly in love, and I thought you were special to me, but now it seems that I was wrong. I was just a joke from beginning to end."
Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly, his tone a little hurried: "Mu Bai, I'm not using her as a substitute, I just..."
Jiang Mubai also stood up and looked him straight in the eyes: "Just what? Just because I look like her, you are nice to me? Just because I look like her, you are willing to be with me?"
Cheng Yunchuan's face became even uglier. He took a deep breath and tried hard to control his emotions.
"Mu Bai, the past is the past, and the person I love now is you."
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Really? But your love makes me feel sick."
After saying that, Jiang Mubai turned and left, leaving Cheng Yunchuan standing there alone with a sullen face.
He looked at Jiang Mubai's departing back, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.
He chased after him and grabbed Jiang Mubai's wrist.
"Mu Bai, please listen to my explanation. I..."
Jiang Mubai shook off his hand with a cold look in his eyes: "Cheng Yunchuan, we need to calm down."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's resolute back and felt a pain in his heart. He wanted to chase after him, but stopped.
He knew it was too late to say anything now.
Jiang Mubai returned home, locked himself in the room, and let the tears flow freely.
She recalled every moment she had spent with Cheng Yunchuan, and all the sweetness she once had has now turned into bitter memories.
She didn't understand why Cheng Yunchuan lied to her? Why did he use her as a substitute for someone else?
Is she really that unworthy of being loved?
On the other side, Cheng Yunchuan returned to the company and locked himself in the office. Jiang Mubai's disappointed look kept appearing in his mind.
He scratched his hair irritably, his heart filled with regret.
He knew he was wrong and he shouldn't have hidden the matter about Jiang Muxue from Jiang Mubai.
But he really didn't know how to explain it.
Jiang Muxue is the eternal pain in his heart. He can neither forget her nor let her go.
He thought that as long as he didn't say it, Jiang Mubai wouldn't know.
However, the truth eventually came out.
He lost Jiang Mubai, the person he loved most.
The next day, Jiang Mubai came to the set with red and swollen eyes.
She forced herself to look normal.
However, her condition still caught the director's attention.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" the director asked with concern.
"It's okay, Director, I just didn't sleep well." Jiang Mubai forced a smile.
"Are you really okay?" The director was a little worried.
"It's really okay, Director, don't worry." Jiang Mubai assured again.
Seeing that she insisted, the director stopped asking questions and started filming.
However, Jiang Mubai's condition was getting worse and worse.
She made many mistakes and her performance was always out of character.
The director finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the filming.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you? If you have anything on your mind, just say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart." The director said in a serious tone.
Jiang Mubai couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
"Director, I..."
She choked up and finally used feeling unwell as an excuse, saying that she had been hit by rumors recently and was not in good shape.
After listening to him, the director sighed and comforted him: "Mu Bai, I know you are sad, but you can't go on like this. You still have a job and a life. You can't let this bring you down."
Jiang Mubai wiped away his tears and nodded: "Director, I understand. I will try my best to adjust my condition."
The director patted her on the shoulder and said, "Yes! That's right. Okay, go back and have a rest. We'll shoot the afternoon scenes tomorrow."
Jiang Mubai thanked the director and left the set.
She walked aimlessly on the street, not knowing where to go.
She felt like a homeless wanderer, lost her direction and purpose.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
It was Cheng Yunchuan who called.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.
"Hey……"
"Mu Bai, where are you? I want to see you." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was a little tired.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and said in a cold tone: "There is nothing more to talk about between us."
"Mu Bai, I know I was wrong. Can you give me a chance to explain?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was pleading.
"Explanation? What else is there to explain? You treat me as a substitute for someone else, what else is there to explain?" Jiang Mubai sneered.
"Mu Bai, listen to me, I am not..."
Jiang Mubai interrupted him: "That's enough. I don't want to hear your explanation anymore. Cheng Yunchuan, it's over between us."
After saying that, Jiang Mubai hung up the phone, tears welling up in his eyes again.
She squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.
At this moment, a black car stopped in front of her.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing a familiar face.
"Mubai?"
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at the person who came, his eyes full of surprise.
"Qin...Qin Yuanqing?"
Qin Yuanqing, Cheng Yunchuan's half-brother, was looking at her with an almost pity-like look at this moment. Jiang Mubai's heart was filled with alarm. She hated this kind of look, as if she was a fragile porcelain doll.
"Get in the car, Miss Jiang."
Qin Yuanqing made a gesture of invitation, and his tone was as gentle as the spring breeze in March: "There are some things I think you should know."
Jiang Mubai didn't move. She looked at Qin Yuanqing warily, trying to read something on his face, but she only saw false concern.
She hated the feeling of being controlled, especially when she was at her most vulnerable.
"About Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Muxue." Qin Yuanqing paused, as if this name was a taboo, or as if he was deliberately rubbing salt into Jiang Mubai's wounds.
Jiang Muxue, the white moonlight that Cheng Yunchuan had been thinking about all the time, was like a thorn at this moment, piercing Jiang Mubai's heart.
She knew she shouldn't get in the car and shouldn't believe anything Qin Yuanqing said, but she couldn't control herself. She desperately wanted to know the truth, even if this truth might make her more painful.
In the end, Jiang Mubai got in the car.
The carriage was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which made people feel inexplicably depressed. Jiang Mubai said nothing, clenching his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh.
Qin Yuanqing glanced at her through the rearview mirror, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He started the car and drove towards a cafe in the city center.
"Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Muxue are childhood sweethearts and they are in love with each other. This should be a beautiful story." Qin Yuanqing spoke slowly, as if deliberately whetting Jiang Mubai's appetite.
