Chapter 960: Interest-driven
Cheng's mother added: "Your father is greedy and will do anything to achieve his goals. This incident should be regarded as a lesson for him."
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan with love and admiration in her eyes. She didn't expect that he would go to such great lengths for her.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently and held her in his arms. "Silly girl, I'm willing to do anything for you."
The two hugged each other tightly, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with them.
Mother Cheng looked at them and smiled with relief. She could finally leave her son to this brave and strong woman.
"Okay, now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, we should discuss the wedding." Mother Cheng said with a smile.
Jiang Mubai's cheeks flushed slightly and he nodded gently.
At this moment, a sharp voice broke the warm atmosphere. "Cheng Yunchuan! How dare you lie to me!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a disheveled woman standing at the door, pointing at Cheng Yunchuan with an angry look on her face.
This woman was the one that Jiang Mubai had seen in the club earlier, behaving intimately with Cheng Yunchuan...
This woman, named Sophie, had mottled makeup, messy hair, and a torn skirt, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. As soon as she appeared, she pointed at Cheng Yunchuan and cried, "Cheng Yunchuan! You bastard! You played with my feelings! You got me pregnant and you wanted to kick me away! Do you still have a conscience?!"
The sudden change instantly froze the originally joyous atmosphere. Cheng's mother's face changed drastically, and a trace of anger flashed across her well-maintained face. She scolded loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about! You slander my son! What evidence do you have?!"
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, but just observed Sophie quietly. She noticed that although Sophie cried loudly, she didn't shed many tears, and her eyes flickered when she spoke, and her expression was exaggerated, as if she was acting.
Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai's hand tightly and gave her a soothing look before turning to Sophie and said calmly, "Sophie, we were college classmates. Why are you doing this? What happened in the club was just a trap you deliberately designed to get close to me and get resources. I've made it very clear."
When Sophie heard this, she cried even louder, "Cheng Yunchuan! How dare you do it! How dare you say there is no relationship between us?! How dare you say you haven't touched me?!" She took out her phone from her bag, flipped through a bunch of photos and chat records, pointed at the screen and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Look! This is the evidence! He's a liar! He deceived my feelings! He even made me pregnant with his child!"
The photo was blurry, and one could only barely make out that Cheng Yunchuan was hugging a woman. The chat records were also intermittent, and most of them were ambiguous words. Although Jiang Mubai believed Cheng Yunchuan, she still felt uncomfortable after seeing these photos and chat records. She felt that Cheng Yunchuan held her hand tighter.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He snatched Sophie's mobile phone, connected it to the projector, and projected the content of the mobile phone onto the big screen.
"Please look," Cheng Yunchuan pointed at one of the photos, "The angle of this photo is very tricky, making people mistakenly think that we are very close, but in fact, we had a group of classmates gathering that night, she fell down on purpose, and I helped her up, that's all." He pointed to another photo, "This photo is even more blurry, and you can't tell who is in it at all, but she said it was the two of us, which is simply nonsense."
Then, Cheng Yunchuan opened the chat records and explained one by one, "Many of these chat records are taken out of context or simply forged. For example, this one, 'Baby, I miss you so much', actually preceded it by 'My new play has finally finished filming, baby, I miss you so much'. The 'baby' I mentioned refers to my new play, not her."
After explaining the photos and chat records, Cheng Yunchuan played another recording. In the recording, Sophie's voice was clearly audible: "As long as I can get close to Cheng Yunchuan, I will do anything! As long as I can become famous, spending some money is nothing! Then I can make more money! ..."
After the recording was played, there was an uproar. Sophie's lies were completely exposed. She looked pale and terrified, like a stripped bunny. She wanted to take back the phone, but was stopped by Cheng Yunchuan's bodyguard.
"You...you actually recorded it! You are despicable!" Sophie was furious and screamed hysterically.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her coldly, "Sophie, I warned you a long time ago not to play with fire and get burned. Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Sophie fled the scene in a panic amid the accusations of the crowd. This farce ended in such a hasty manner.
Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai's hand again and smiled gently, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Jiang Mubai shook his head and held his hand, "I believe you."
Mother Cheng also came over and held Jiang Mubai's hand, her eyes full of apology, "Mubai, I'm so sorry for making a fool of myself."
"Aunt, don't say that," Jiang Mubai said softly, "I believe Yunchuan."
"Alas," Cheng's mother sighed, "It's all my fault. I was too anxious to have a grandson, so this woman took advantage of me."
Just then, Jiang Mubai's cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and her expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yunchuan noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and said, "Yes...my dad."
Cheng Yunchuan and his mother looked at each other, both feeling a little uneasy. Jiang Mubai's father, Jiang Hai, had always been critical of Cheng Yunchuan. Would he use this incident to stop them from being together?
Jiang Mubai answered the phone, but before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Hai's angry voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Jiang Mubai! Get back here right now! Look at what you've done!"
Jiang Hai's voice on the phone was deafening, mixed with the sound of broken porcelain...
Jiang Mubai hung up the phone, and the phone slipped from her weak hands and fell on the carpet with a dull thud, but it was not even one ten-thousandth of the panic she felt at the moment. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were wet, and tears trembled on her eyelashes, as if they would fall at any time. Cheng Yunchuan hugged her in his arms with heartache, resting his chin on the top of her head, and gently stroked her back, as if he was comforting a frightened deer. "It's okay, Mubai, I'm here." He comforted softly, his voice was low and gentle, with the magic that could soothe all the anxiety.
Jiang Mubai told Cheng Yunchuan and Cheng's mother about his father Jiang Hai's anger and the sound of broken porcelain on the phone. Cheng's mother's face changed and she said worriedly: "Mubai, your father has always had a bad temper. This incident has caused such a big fuss, he must be very angry. How about you stay here tonight and go back after he calms down?"
