Chapter 1171 Hysteria
Jiang Mubai suddenly laughed hysterically, "Believe you? How can you let me believe you? I saw her holding your arm with my own eyes, and heard her say those words with my own ears, how can you let me believe you?"
She pushed Cheng Yunchuan away and ran away.
Cheng Yunchuan hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her wrist, "Mu Bai, listen to me, things are not what you think, Sophie did it on purpose..."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, a dark shadow rushed out from the side and punched Cheng Yunchuan hard in the face.
Cheng Yunchuan was hit and staggered. He took a few steps back, covered his nose, and blood flowed through his fingers.
Jiang Mubai exclaimed and quickly supported him, "Yunchuan, are you okay?"
Cheng Yunchuan shook his head and looked at the man who attacked him.
It was a tall man wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
The man looked at Cheng Yunchuan coldly, his tone grim, "Cheng Yunchuan, you'd better stay away from Jiang Mubai, otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as one punch."
The man punched Cheng Yunchuan in the face. Jiang Mubai screamed in fear, and the alcohol instantly dissipated. She frantically supported Cheng Yunchuan, and her fingers trembled as she touched his swollen cheek. "Yunchuan, are you okay?"
Cheng Yunchuan groaned, and blood from his nose flowed down his fingers, staining Jiang Mubai's slender fingers red. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but his eyes were fixed on the man who was wearing a baseball cap and a mask and whose face could not be seen clearly.
The attacker sneered in a low voice, with a strong warning tone in his voice, "Cheng Yunchuan, I advise you to be sensible and stay away from Jiang Mubai. Otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as one punch."
Jiang Mubai was startled, and a chill ran from his feet to his head. Who was this man? Why did he attack Cheng Yunchuan? Was it because of him?
"Who are you?" Jiang Mubai asked courageously, but his voice trembled slightly.
The man did not answer, but just looked at Jiang Mubai deeply, turned around and disappeared into the night like a ghost.
Cheng Yunchuan wiped the blood from his nose, his face pale. He looked at Jiang Mubai with worry in his eyes, "Mubai, are you okay? Did he scare you?"
Jiang Mubai shook his head and pretended to be calm, "I'm fine. But why did he hit you?"
Cheng Yunchuan sighed, his tone somewhat helpless, "I don't know either. Maybe I recognized the wrong person."
Jiang Mubai obviously didn't believe it. She always felt that this matter had something to do with her. Could it be because her "exposure" was exposed? However, there were only a handful of people who knew about this matter. Who could be trying to take revenge on her?
"Yunchuan, let's go back first." Jiang Mubai pulled Cheng Yunchuan's sleeve. She just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Cheng Yunchuan nodded and helped Jiang Mubai into the car.
The car was completely silent, with only the sound of the two people's shallow breathing. Jiang Mubai leaned against the car window, looking at the street scene outside the window that was rapidly receding, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Mu Bai, about Sophie's matter..." Cheng Yunchuan broke the silence, his tone a little hesitant.
Jiang Mubai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I don't want to mention her anymore."
"But you must know the truth." Cheng Yunchuan insisted, "Sophie...she has a terminal illness and she doesn't have much time left."
Jiang Mubai suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Yunchuan in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"It's true." Cheng Yunchuan closed his eyes in pain. "She kept it a secret from me until a few days ago. She knew I liked you, so she approached me on purpose and wanted me to stay with her during her last moments."
Jiang Mubai was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment. She had always thought that Sophie was deliberately provoking her and deliberately destroying her feelings, but she didn't expect that she would actually...
"She begged me not to tell you the truth in her last moments. She didn't want you to feel guilty or sad." Cheng Yunchuan continued, "So I kept it a secret from you. I'm sorry."
Jiang Mubai's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, and she felt a sharp pain. She suddenly felt that she was ridiculous. She had always resented Sophie and Cheng Yunchuan, but she didn't expect that the truth would be like this.
"So, when she held your arm and said those words to you that day, she did it on purpose?" Jiang Mubai's voice was a little hoarse.
Cheng Yunchuan nodded, "She wants you to give up and leave me, so that I can accompany her to the end with peace of mind."
Jiang Mubai couldn't hold back her tears. She covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders trembled slightly. She felt like a fool, being played around by Sophie.
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her in his arms and patted her back gently, "Mu Bai, don't cry. I know you are sad, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Mubai's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the sad atmosphere in the car.
Jiang Mubai glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was from the hospital.
Her heart sank, she had a premonition of something, and she answered the phone tremblingly.
"Hello, hello, is this Miss Jiang Mubai?" The nurse's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Your mother has had a sudden heart attack and is being treated now. Please rush to the hospital as soon as possible!"
Jiang Mubai held the phone, her knuckles white, and the nurse's urging voice on the other end of the phone echoed in her ears like a spell. Her mother, the most important woman in her life, was lying on the cold operating table, her life or death uncertain.
Cheng Yunchuan noticed something was wrong with Jiang Mubai and asked nervously, "Mubai, what's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Mubai raised her head, her vision blurred by tears, "My mother...my mother had a heart attack and is being rescued..." She choked and could no longer speak.
Cheng Yunchuan's face changed, and he immediately started the car, the accelerator roared, and the car rushed out like an arrow. Along the way, Jiang Mubai held Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, his palm was cold, as if he was holding the last straw to save his life.
After arriving at the hospital, Jiang Mubai almost stumbled to the door of the emergency room. The glaring red light and the cold air made her feel suffocated. She grabbed a passing nurse and said in a trembling voice, "Excuse me, Ms. Jiang...Ms. Jiang, which operating room is she in?"
The nurse looked through the records and said, "In operating room number three, are you her family member?"
"I'm her daughter!" Jiang Mubai's voice was sharp, with a hint of despair.
The red light in the operating room was still on, and time passed by like a blunt knife slowly cutting Jiang Mubai's heart. Cheng Yunchuan stood quietly beside her, holding her tightly in his arms, giving her silent comfort.
After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room finally dimmed, and a doctor walked out tiredly. Jiang Mubai rushed forward and grabbed the doctor's arm, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
