Chapter 1266 Public Outcry
Jiang Mubai's eyes turned cold, and he was about to speak, but Cheng Yunchuan took the lead. He protected Jiang Mubai behind him and looked at Ren Xueer coldly: "Ms. Ren, who I am with seems to have nothing to do with you."
Ren Xueer chuckled, her eyes full of provocation: "How is it irrelevant? I am kindly reminding you, don't forget, your current fiancée is the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Yuanqing. Aren't you afraid that she will be jealous if you cuddle with your old lover like this?"
Cheng Yunchuan's face darkened instantly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "It's not your turn to interfere in my private affairs."
Ren Xueer patted her chest in fear and said, "Oh, I'm so scared! Mr. Cheng still has such a bad temper. However, I advise you to be careful. The Qin family is not easy to mess with."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Mubai meaningfully: "Some people, even if they want to climb high branches, they have to do it within their ability, and be careful not to fall and be smashed to pieces."
Jiang Mubai sneered and met Ren Xueer's gaze without fear: "Ms. Ren, I don't need you to judge what kind of person I am. As for climbing up the social ladder, I think you have more experience than me, right?"
Ren Xueer's face changed, and she was about to explode, but was interrupted by Cheng Yunchuan: "Enough!"
He glanced at Ren Xueer coldly: "If you are just here to stir up trouble, then please leave."
Ren Xueer bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, but in the end she said nothing more and turned to leave the bar.
Looking at Ren Xueer's departing back, Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger in his heart.
Cheng Yunchuan turned around and hugged her in his arms distressedly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and his heart gradually calmed down.
"Thank you, Yunchuan."
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me?" Cheng Yunchuan stroked her hair gently. "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? From now on, no one will bully you anymore."
The two hugged each other tightly, and the music in the bar sounded again, as if blessing them.
However, this is just the calm before the storm.
The next day, the headlines of major entertainment websites were dominated by an explosive piece of news: "Cheng Yunchuan had a tryst with a mysterious woman in a bar, and it is suspected that his relationship with his fiancée Qin Yuanqing has broken down."
The picture accompanying the news was a photo of Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai hugging in the bar last night. Although the photo was a bit blurry, the intimacy between the two could still be seen.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.
Cheng Yunchuan's fans expressed their dissatisfaction, believing that this was just malicious hype by the media.
Qin Yuanqing's fans began to attack Jiang Mubai, calling her a mistress and a vixen. Some even dug up her past dark history and portrayed her as a scheming, unscrupulous woman.
Jiang Mubai looked at the comments online, her face turned pale and her whole body trembled. She didn't expect things to develop to this point.
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Don't be afraid, Mu Bai, I will take care of everything."
He immediately contacted the public relations team and issued a statement to clarify the facts, saying that the woman in the photo was just his friend. However, this explanation was not recognized by netizens, but instead aroused their anger.
The Qin family soon learned about this. Qin Yuanqing's father, Qin Guoqiang, was furious and called Cheng Yunchuan, asking him to immediately sever ties with Jiang Mubai and publicly apologize to Qin Yuanqing.
Cheng Yunchuan rejected Qin Guoqiang's request without hesitation and said that he would not give up Jiang Mubai for anyone.
His words completely angered Qin Guoqiang, and the Qin family began to suppress Cheng Yunchuan's company. His endorsements, movies, and TV series were all cancelled, and his career fell into a trough.
Faced with all this, Cheng Yunchuan did not retreat at all. He always stood firmly by Jiang Mubai, protecting her and supporting her.
"Yunchuan, I'm sorry, it's all because of me." Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's haggard face, his heart full of self-blame.
Cheng Yunchuan gently stroked her cheek and smiled tenderly: "Silly girl, why are you saying sorry? I love you, so I am willing to give everything for you."
His eyes were full of affection and determination, as if telling her that no matter what happened, he would not leave her.
Jiang Mubai was so moved that he shed tears, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "I love you too, Yunchuan."
Just then, Jiang Mubai's cell phone suddenly rang.
It's an unknown number.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Hey?"
"Jiang Mubai, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, making Jiang Mubai feel creepy in an instant.
It’s Qin Yuanqing!
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Mubai asked with forced calmness.
Qin Yuanqing sneered: "What do I want to do? I want you to disappear from this world!"
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Jiang Mubai held the phone blankly, his face pale and his whole body trembling.
Cheng Yunchuan noticed her strangeness and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Mu Bai?"
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of fear: "Yunchuan, I... I'm scared."
Cheng Yunchuan held her tightly in his arms, his eyes firm: "Don't be afraid, Mu Bai, I'm here, no one can hurt you."
However, what he didn't know was that a bigger conspiracy was quietly approaching.
Qin Yuanqing's sharp voice came from the other end of the phone, like fine needles piercing Jiang Mubai's eardrums, making her shudder.
Cheng Yunchuan noticed that Jiang Mubai was acting strange, snatched the phone away, and said in a cold tone: "Qin Yuanqing, you'd better stop!"
"Hey, Mr. Cheng, you're here to protect her so quickly? It seems like this little bitch is really capable."
Qin Yuanqing's tone was contemptuous, with a strong sense of provocation: "But, can you protect me for a while, but can you protect me for a lifetime? There is nothing that I, Qin Yuanqing, cannot get!"
"Just try to see if you dare to touch a hair on her body!" Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.
Qin Yuanqing laughed wildly as if he had heard a joke: "Cheng Yunchuan, do you think you are still the high and mighty movie star? Look at you now, what do you have? Everything you have will soon be mine! Including Jiang Mubai!"
After saying that, Qin Yuanqing hung up the phone angrily.
Jiang Mubai's face was pale, and he tightly grasped Cheng Yunchuan's hand, his nails almost digging into his flesh: "Yunchuan, I'm scared..."
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her in his arms distressedly, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Mu Bai, I'm here, no one can touch you."
However, Cheng Yunchuan was filled with anxiety. He had seen Qin Yuanqing's madness and viciousness before, and this time, she might really do whatever it takes.
The Qin family's influence in the entertainment industry cannot be underestimated. Cheng Yunchuan's career has been hit hard. His endorsements have been withdrawn, his actors in movies have been replaced, and even the TV series he was filming was forced to stop.
