Chapter 1057 Nameless Fire
Chapter 1057 Nameless Fire
"The child... the child is Lu Zichuan's."
Cheng Yunchuan felt his head buzzing, as if countless bees were flying around inside. "Is the child... Lu Zichuan's?" He repeated the sentence mechanically, his voice as dry as sandpaper rubbing against glass.
Jiang Mubai on the other end of the phone just sobbed quietly, as if he was suppressing great pain.
"Why...why are you telling me this?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled. He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, almost suffocating him.
"I... I can't do anything..." Jiang Mubai said intermittently, "I need help... I..."
"Help?" Cheng Yunchuan sneered, his tone full of sarcasm, "What do you think I am? The child in your belly is someone else's, yet you come to me for help? Jiang Mubai, you've played me around, what do you think I am?!"
His voice became louder and louder, and finally he almost shouted. He felt a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart, burning him to the point of losing all reason.
Jiang Mubai was startled by his sudden roar and stopped crying. "Yunchuan, listen to me..."
"I don't want to hear it!" Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her rudely, "What else do you have to say? You've betrayed me, you don't love me anymore! Why are you still looking for me?!"
He clenched the phone tightly, his knuckles turned white and veins popped. He felt like an abandoned toy, being played around by Jiang Mubai.
"It's not like that... Yunchuan, please listen to my explanation..." Jiang Mubai's voice was full of pleading, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted again by Cheng Yunchuan.
"Explanation? What else is there to explain? The facts are already in front of us! You are pregnant, and the child is Lu Zichuan's! Is there any fact that is clearer than this?!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion.
"Yunchuan, I..." Jiang Mubai wanted to say something, but Cheng Yunchuan had already lost his patience.
"Enough!" he roared, "I don't want to hear any more explanations from you! Go away, stay away from me! I don't want to see you again!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation, then threw the phone hard to the ground, and the screen instantly shattered into a spider web shape.
He sat on the ground dejectedly, holding his head in his hands, groaning in pain. He felt that his world had collapsed. The woman he once loved deeply had betrayed him and was pregnant with someone else's child!
The room was silent, with only his suppressed cries echoing in the air.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the call.
"Hey?"
"Cheng Yunchuan, this is Lu Zichuan." A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in his tone.
Cheng Yunchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he could hardly believe his ears. "Lu Zichuan? What...what do you want from me?"
"I think we need to have a good talk." Lu Zichuan's voice was still calm, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
"Talk? Talk about what?" Cheng Yunchuan's tone was full of hostility.
"Let's talk about Jiang Mubai, the baby in her belly, and... you." Lu Zichuan's voice was meaningful and a little teasing.
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. He could almost imagine the smug look on Lu Zichuan's face. He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. "What do you want to talk about? Just say it on the phone."
"Some things can't be explained over the phone." Lu Zichuan paused, then continued, "See you at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at the Night Bar."
After saying that, Lu Zichuan hung up the phone without waiting for Cheng Yunchuan to answer.
Cheng Yunchuan's hand holding the phone was shaking. He felt like he was being pushed into the abyss by an invisible giant hand, powerless to resist. He didn't know what Lu Zichuan was trying to do, but he knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
The "Night Color" bar was Lu Zichuan's business and a place he frequented. What would be waiting for him tomorrow night?
Cheng Yunchuan did not sleep all night. Lu Zichuan's frivolous tone and the threatening words were like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making him toss and turn. He repeatedly recalled every bit of his time with Jiang Mubai, but the sweet memories were now like sharp knives, piercing his heart.
The next night, Cheng Yunchuan forced himself to swallow a few bites of bread and drove to the "Night Color" bar. The flashing neon lights reflected his pale face, and the bloodshot eyes were even more shocking.
The bar was filled with people, and the deafening music hit his eardrums. He saw Lu Zichuan sitting in the corner, and next to him sat a charming woman, who was leaning on him intimately.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and walked straight to Lu Zichuan. "What do you want from me?" His tone was cold, trying hard to suppress his inner anger.
Lu Zichuan smiled contemptuously, pushed the woman in his arms away, and stood up. "Big star Cheng, how are you?" He looked Cheng Yunchuan up and down, his eyes full of provocation.
"Stop talking nonsense and say what you want to say." Cheng Yunchuan interrupted him impatiently.
"Don't be so anxious," Lu Zichuan slowly poured himself a glass of wine, "Let's talk slowly." He took a sip of the wine, and then slowly spoke, "You know, the child in Jiang Mubai's belly is mine."
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh. "What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Zichuan laughed, arrogantly and proudly. "What do I want to do? I want you to see with your own eyes how the woman you love deeply becomes my woman!"
Cheng Yunchuan could no longer control his emotions. He grabbed Lu Zichuan by the collar and yelled, "You bastard!"
Lu Zichuan was not to be outdone and grabbed Cheng Yunchuan by the collar. The two men were on the verge of a fight.
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"
They both turned around at the same time and saw Jiang Mubai standing at the door, his face pale and his eyes full of pain and despair.
"Mubai..." Cheng Yunchuan's heart sank suddenly. He couldn't believe that Jiang Mubai actually came.
Jiang Mubai slowly walked between the two of them, her eyes scanning back and forth between them, finally stopping at Lu Zichuan. "Lu Zichuan, why did you do this?" Her voice was trembling, with a hint of tears.
Lu Zichuan sneered, "Why? Because I want you to know that you are just a pawn I am playing with!"
Jiang Mubai's body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. "Lu Zichuan, you are so mean!"
"Despicable?" Lu Zichuan laughed. "This is called deception in war! Do you think Cheng Yunchuan really loves you? He is just deceived by your appearance!"
