Chapter 1278 The Peace That Was Hard to Construct

Cheng Yunchuan's face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm, so depressing that it made people breathless.

The news that his mother was critically ill was like a thunderclap, shattering the peace he had built with great difficulty.

Jiang Mubai could feel his clenched hands trembling slightly, and the sweat oozing from his palms were sticky and tangled together.

"Let's go now." Jiang Mubai didn't ask any more questions, but just held his hand tightly, giving him silent support.

As they sped along, there was always an indelible haze between Cheng Yunchuan's brows.

He seldom mentioned his family. Jiang Mubai only knew that he had an estranged relationship with his father and his mother was his only weakness.

Arriving at the hospital, the pungent smell of disinfectant hit us in the face. The corridor was filled with suppressed crying and whispered conversations. Cheng Yunchuan's pace became faster and faster, and he almost jogged towards the ward.

In the ward, a thin woman was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper and her breathing so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Cheng Yunchuan's father, Qin Zhengde, was sitting beside the bed, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Cheng Yunchuan rushed to the bedside and held his mother's hand tightly: "Mom, I'm back."

Mother Cheng slowly opened her eyes, her cloudy eyes fell on Cheng Yunchuan's face, and she managed to force a smile from the corner of her mouth. "Yunchuan...you're back."

"Mom, you will be fine." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was choked with sobs, and he tried hard not to let the tears fall.

Mother Cheng shook her head weakly and said with her last bit of strength: "Yunchuan...promise me...take good care of yourself...don't...hate your father anymore."

After saying this, Cheng's mother's hands dropped weakly and her eyes closed forever.

"Mom!" Cheng Yunchuan's roar echoed in the ward, heartbroken. Jiang Mubai stood aside, silently shedding tears, his heart broken.

Qin Zhengde slowly stood up, walked to Cheng Yunchuan, patted his shoulder, sighed and said: "Yunchuan, I am sorry for your loss."

Cheng Yunchuan raised his head abruptly, his eyes filled with hatred: "Excuse me? How can you ask me to express my condolences? You took away everything from me! My mother, my childhood, my happiness, you destroyed them all!"

"Yunchuan, I know you hate me, but everything I did was for the Qin family and for you." There was a hint of helplessness in Qin Zhengde's tone.

Cheng Yunchuan sneered: "For me? What you mean by for me is to treat me as a tool, a chess piece, to be manipulated by you?"

"Yunchuan, don't you understand? You are the heir of the Qin family. You are responsible for the future of the Qin family."

"I don't want your Qin family, I only want my mother!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was hoarse and full of despair.

Jiang Mubai walked forward, hugged Cheng Yunchuan gently, and whispered in his ear: "Yunchuan, don't be like this. Auntie in heaven doesn't want to see you like this."

Cheng Yunchuan's body trembled slightly, and finally, he buried his head in Jiang Mubai's shoulder and cried silently.

In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan was immersed in the grief of losing his mother and became silent. Jiang Mubai stayed by his side all the time, giving him comfort and support.

After the funeral, Qin Zhengde found Cheng Yunchuan and asked him to take over the Qin Group. Cheng Yunchuan refused without hesitation.

Cheng Yunchuan said coldly: "I will not take over your Qin's, and I will not become a person like you."

There was a hint of anger in Qin Zhengde's tone: "Yunchuan, you are just being angry. Qin's is yours, and you will take over sooner or later."

Cheng Yunchuan's voice rose an octave: "I said, I don't want your Qin's! I would rather have nothing than your charity!"

After saying that, Cheng Yunchuan turned and left, leaving Qin Zhengde standing there alone with a sullen face.

Jiang Mubai caught up with Cheng Yunchuan, held his hand, and said, "Yunchuan, don't do this. Your aunt will be sad if you do this."

Cheng Yunchuan stopped and looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain: "Mubai, what should I do? I feel like I'm about to collapse."

Jiang Mubai hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly and whispered in his ear: "Yunchuan, you still have me. I will always be with you."

Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, feeling the warmth from her body, as if he had found his only support.

The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge into each other's bodies.

However, at this moment, the appearance of an uninvited guest broke the moment of tranquility.

"Yunchuan, long time no see." A charming voice sounded.

Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai turned their heads at the same time, and saw a tall woman with exquisite makeup standing not far away with a playful smile on her face.

"Ren Xueer?" There was a hint of surprise in Cheng Yunchuan's tone.

Yuan'er walked forward with a smile: "Yuan'er, I didn't expect to see you here."

Jiang Mubai looked at Yuan'er and felt a little uneasy. She had seen photos of this woman on Cheng Yunchuan's phone before, and she knew that she was Cheng Yunchuan's first love.

"What are you doing here?" Cheng Yunchuan asked in a cold tone.

"I came to see you. Who is this?" Yuan'er's eyes fell on Jiang Mubai, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

"My wife, Jiang Mubai." Cheng Yunchuan put his arm around Jiang Mubai's shoulders, declaring his sovereignty.

Yuan Er's expression changed slightly, but then she smiled again: "Congratulations, Yun Chuan."

"Thank you." Cheng Yunchuan's tone was still cold.

"Yunchuan, can we talk alone?" Yuan'er stared at Cheng Yunchuan with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Cheng Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Mu Bai, wait for me here."

Jiang Mubai nodded and watched Cheng Yunchuan and Yuan'er walk aside. She felt vaguely uneasy in her heart. She always felt that the appearance of Ren Xueer would bring some changes between her and Cheng Yunchuan.

Jiang Mubai's heart was pounding like a restless little rabbit. Yuan'er's appearance made her feel a potential threat.

She is not a fool. The look in Yuan'er's eyes when she looked at Cheng Yunchuan clearly showed the spark of rekindled love.

Cheng Yunchuan and Ren Xueer walked to the stone bench in the corner of the cemetery. Yuaner spoke first, her voice trembling a little: "Yunchuan, are you really going to marry her?"

Cheng Yunchuan was silent for a moment, his tone so calm that no emotion could be heard: "Yes."

"But what about us? Have you forgotten our past feelings for each other?" Yuan'er's voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath, looked at the scenery in the distance with complicated eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Yuan'er, let the past be the past, we can't go back."

"Why can't you go back? Is it because she looks like your mother? Yunchuan, you can't do this to me! I am the first woman you fell in love with!" Yuan'er suddenly became excited.

Cheng Yunchuan turned his head and stared at Yuan'er sharply: "Yuan'er, stop saying such things. Mu Bai is completely different from my mother. I love her, and it has nothing to do with who she looks like."
