Chapter 1076 Unable to Compete

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a gorgeously dressed woman walked in. She was elegant and noble, with a strong aura, and it was obvious at first glance that she was not an ordinary person.

The woman walked to Cheng Yunchuan's bed, looked down at him, and said in a cold tone, "Yun Ting, come home with me."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes. "Mom..."

The woman ignored Cheng Yunchuan and turned her gaze to Jiang Mubai, her eyes full of contempt and disdain. "Are you Jiang Mubai?"

Jiang Mubai felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he felt uncomfortable all over. "I am."

The woman sneered, "I advise you to stay away from my son. You are not worthy of him."

Jiang Mubai's face turned pale in an instant. She bit her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Mu Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the woman.

"Yun Ting, let's go." After the woman said that, she turned and left the ward.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai deeply, his eyes full of helplessness and apology. "Mubai, wait for me..."

Before he could finish his words, he was forcibly pulled out of the ward by the woman.

Jiang Mubai sat on the bed blankly, tears falling silently. She felt that her world was collapsing, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know where to go...

The ward was dead silent, with only Jiang Mubai's suppressed sobs echoing. She felt like a joke, fooled by Cheng Yunchuan's carefully woven lies for so long. What gentleness and thoughtfulness, what deep affection and loyalty, were nothing but illusions, castles in the air!

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a young man rushed in, grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's mother's arm, and said anxiously: "Mom, what are you doing! Where did you take Brother Yunchuan?"

The woman shook off his hand, with a look of disgust on her face: "This is our Huo family's business, so stay out of it!"

The man ignored her and turned to look at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of apology: "Miss Jiang, my name is Huo Yunting, I am... I am Brother Yunchuan's younger brother. My mother... speaks more directly, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Mubai raised her head and looked at Huo Yunting with tears in her eyes, feeling mixed emotions. Illegitimate child, younger brother... It turned out that Cheng Yunchuan's world was much more complicated than she had imagined.

"Is he... is he okay?" Jiang Mubai's voice was hoarse and trembling.

Huo Yunting sighed: "Brother Yunchuan has had a hard life since he was a child. My mother... has always been very harsh on him. This time, I'm afraid..." He hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.

Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over him. "What happened? Tell me!"

Huo Yunting hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Brother Yunchuan...he has a serious illness and needs surgery immediately, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Mubai's heart was in his throat.

"But my mother didn't agree to have the surgery on him. She said... that he was an illegitimate child and didn't deserve it..." Huo Yunting's voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

Jiang Mubai was stunned as if struck by lightning. She couldn't believe that there was such a cruel mother!

"No, I have to go find him!" Jiang Mubai stood up suddenly and was about to rush out.

Huo Yunting grabbed her and said, "Miss Jiang, it's useless for you to go anywhere. My mother...she has already brought Brother Yunchuan back to the Huo family. The Huo family is heavily guarded. You can't get in at all."

Jiang Mubai sat on the ground in despair, tears rolling down like pearls from a broken string. She bit her lips tightly, her nails dug deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.

Huo Yunting looked at Jiang Mubai's painful expression, and his heart was filled with helplessness and guilt. He knew that he shouldn't tell her this, but... he couldn't bear to see Jiang Mubai being kept in the dark.

"Miss Jiang..." Huo Yunting squatted down and gently patted Jiang Mubai's shoulder, "I know you are very sad now, but... you must be strong, Brother Yunchuan... he needs you."

Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Huo Yunting with tearful eyes. "What can I...what can I do for him?"

Huo Yunting took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. "Miss Jiang, I know you are a very capable person. I hope... you can help Brother Yunchuan. Only you... can save him."

Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't understand what Huo Yunting meant. "How...how can I save him?"

Huo Yunting leaned close to Jiang Mubai's ear and whispered something. Jiang Mubai's face turned pale instantly, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"You...what did you say?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Huo Yunting nodded, his eyes full of pleading. "Miss Jiang, I know this request is excessive, but... this is the only way. Only you... can let Brother Yunchuan live."

Jiang Mubai fell into a deep struggle. She didn't know whether she should agree to Huo Yunting, nor did she know if she could do it. However, she knew that she couldn't lose Cheng Yunchuan, and she had to save him, even at any cost...

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a man in a black suit walked in. He was tall and imposing, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. The man walked up to Jiang Mubai, handed her a black card, and said in a cold tone: "Miss Jiang, my master wants to see you."

Jiang Mubai looked at the black card in his hand, and suddenly felt uneasy...

The gold-plated pattern on the card reflected a cold luster under the light, like an invitation from hell. Jiang Mubai's hands trembled slightly, and she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She knew that behind this card, there was a huge vortex hidden, waiting to swallow her up.

"Who asked you to come?" Jiang Mubai's voice was frighteningly calm, like the calm before a storm.

"The head of the Huo family, Huo Zhenting." The man's voice was flat, like a machine without emotions.

Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly sank. Why would Huo Zhenting, Cheng Yunchuan's biological father, the cold-blooded and ruthless man who could cover the sky with one hand, come to find him?

"Why does he want to see me?" Jiang Mubai asked, a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

The man leaned slightly to the side, made a "please" gesture, and said concisely: "You'll know when you go there."

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Mubai's mind. She didn't know what was waiting for her, the Hongmen Banquet, or...

"Miss Jiang, please." The man spoke again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Jiang Mubai tightly grasped the card in her hand, her knuckles slightly whitening from the force. She knew that she had no choice. The power of the Huo family was not something that an ordinary person like her could contend with.
