Chapter 1165 Clues

So, who is the child's father?

A terrible thought flashed through Jiang Mubai's mind...

Jiang Mubai felt her blood freeze. Sophie's child wasn't Cheng Yunchuan's? Then whose was it? A terrible guess flashed through her mind, a guess that made her almost unable to breathe.

"Yunchuan..." She spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling violently, "Could this... be... mine?"

Cheng Yunchuan raised his head suddenly, a flash of shock flashed in his deep eyes, followed by a deep heartache. He hugged her into his arms, holding her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Don't be afraid, Mu Bai," his voice was low and gentle, "I will find out everything."

Jiang Mubai fell into his arms, tears falling silently. She didn't dare to believe it, nor did she dare to think about it. If this child was really hers, what would that mean?

This means that without her knowledge, someone...

She didn't dare to think any further and her body couldn't stop shaking.

Cheng Yunchuan patted her back gently, one by one, as if he was comforting a frightened deer. "Okay, it's okay. I'll take care of everything."

He let her go and gently wiped the tears from her face. "You rest here for a while. I'll go take care of some things."

Jiang Mubai nodded weakly and watched Cheng Yunchuan turn around and leave the study.

She sat alone in the study, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. If this child is really hers, what should she do? How should she face Cheng Yunchuan, how should she face this sudden child?

She thought back to the days when she used to sing in bars, those unbearable pasts, those memories that she tried desperately to forget, but now they flooded into her mind like a tide, drowning her.

"No, it can't be," she murmured, "it's impossible..."

However, a voice deep inside her told her that this was very likely.

Just then, the door of the study was opened again, and Cheng Yunchuan walked in with a new document in his hand.

"Mu Bai," he said with a serious expression, "I have already checked it out."

Jiang Mubai's heart was in his throat and he looked at him nervously.

"The father of the child..." Cheng Yunchuan paused and took a deep breath, "It's your ex-boyfriend, Li Mingyu."

Jiang Mubai was stunned as if struck by lightning. Li Mingyu? How could it be possible? They had broken up for many years, and she had never thought of having any intersection with him again.

"I found out that Li Mingyu returned to China a few months ago and has been secretly following you," Cheng Yunchuan continued, "Sophie colluded with him with the purpose of taking revenge on you and destroying our relationship."

Jiang Mubai felt her mind go blank and she couldn't think. She could never imagine that Li Mingyu would do such a thing.

"Mu Bai," Cheng Yunchuan walked up to her and gently held her hand, "I know this is a big blow to you, but don't worry, I will handle everything. I won't let anyone hurt you."

His eyes were firm and gentle, which gave Jiang Mubai great comfort. She raised her head and looked at him, and tears blurred her vision again.

"Yunchuan..." She choked up and said, "Thank you."

Cheng Yunchuan pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Silly girl," he whispered in her ear, "we are husband and wife, it is my duty to protect you."

Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and his heart gradually calmed down.

However, at this moment, Cheng Yunchuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face changed slightly.

"It's Sophie," he said to Jiang Mubai, "I'm going to answer the phone."

Jiang Mubai nodded and watched him walk to the window to answer the phone.

"Sophie, do you have anything else to say?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was cold and ruthless.

On the other end of the phone, Sophie's voice was sharp and piercing: "Cheng Yunchuan, do you think you won? I tell you, I won't let Jiang Mubai go! What I can't get, she can't get either!"

Cheng Yunchuan's expression became increasingly ugly, "Sophie, you'd better stop!"

"Haha," Sophie laughed wildly, "Stop it? Do you think I'm afraid of you? I have Jiang Mubai's biggest secret in my hand! If I make this secret public, do you think she can still survive in the entertainment industry?"

Cheng Yunchuan's pupils shrank suddenly, "What do you mean?"

Sophie's voice was full of malice. "Want to know? Then come and beg me! Haha..."

The call was hung up and Cheng Yunchuan stood by the window with a terribly gloomy face.

Jiang Mubai walked up to him and looked at him worriedly, "Yunchuan, what's wrong?"

Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath, turned around and looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Mu Bai," he said slowly, "Sophie said that she knows a secret of yours, a secret that is enough to ruin your reputation..."

Jiang Mubai's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he was almost suffocated. The secret of his downfall? What secret did she have? Her life had always been open and aboveboard. Apart from the secret marriage, she had hardly done anything shameful. Could it be that Sophie was referring to...

"Yunchuan," Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, "She...what did she want to say?"

Cheng Yunchuan pursed his lips tightly, his brows full of worry. He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Sophie what she said.

"She said...she said you were kept by someone..."

"What?!" Jiang Mubai's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Cheng Yunchuan in disbelief. Being kept by someone? This is simply a huge joke!

"She said she has evidence," Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and hoarse, "She said...she said that you once sold your body in order to get a role..."

Jiang Mubai felt a surge of anger rising from the soles of her feet to her head. She was shaking all over and could barely stand.

"She's talking nonsense! She's slandering me!" Jiang Mubai's voice was sharp and piercing. "I have never done such a thing! Everything I have is obtained through my own hard work!"

Cheng Yunchuan pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and tried to calm her down.

"Mu Bai, I know, I believe you," he whispered in her ear, "I will find out everything, I will prove your innocence."

Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, tears falling silently. She could never have imagined that Sophie would use such a despicable method to frame her.

"Yunchuan," she choked up, "I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid," Cheng Yunchuan stroked her hair gently, "I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

The two hugged each other tightly, giving each other strength and comfort. However, Sophie's threat was like a time bomb that could explode at any time and blow them to pieces.

Cheng Yunchuan immediately began to investigate, and he used all his connections and resources to try to find the so-called "evidence" of Sophie. However, Sophie seemed to be well prepared, and she hid well, and Cheng Yunchuan could not find any clues for a while.
