The top star opened his eyes and became cannon fodder, the celebrity's wife was exposed

Chapter 1012 I don’t know

The man was tall, wearing a black suit and a pair of sunglasses on his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

He walked straight to Jiang Mubai, took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep eyes.

"Hello, Miss Jiang. My name is Gu Tingchen."

Jiang Mubai's eyes were blurred with tears, and the torn pieces of paper fell like snowflakes. She cried so hard that her shoulders trembled, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and pain. Lisa hugged her distressedly and patted her back gently, but she didn't know what to say to comfort this heartbroken girl. The appearance of Gu Tingchen opened a crack in this solidified sadness.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes as deep as the night, with a hint of imperceptible pity in his eyes. Jiang Mubai raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger. Gu Tingchen didn't say anything, but just stared at her quietly, as if there were thousands of words hidden in his eyes. Lisa stepped aside tactfully, leaving space for them.

"Ms. Jiang," Gu Tingchen's voice was low and magnetic, "My name is Gu Tingchen."

Jiang Mubai sniffed and tried to control her emotions, "I know, Cheng Yunchuan's... competitor." There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, as if she was mocking herself, but also as if she was mocking Cheng Yunchuan's stupidity.

Gu Tingchen ignored her sarcasm and instead raised a playful smile, "It seems that Mr. Cheng doesn't know you well enough." He paused, took out a check from his pocket and placed it on the bedside table, "This is the penalty for breach of contract. Mr. Cheng asked me to give it to you."

Jiang Mubai was stunned, looking at the number on the check, she didn't know how to react for a moment. She thought Cheng Yunchuan would beg and plead, and would try every means to save the relationship, but she didn't expect that he would end it all so abruptly, and didn't even want to see her for the last time.

"He... is so eager to get rid of me?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled and tears welled up in his eyes again.

Gu Tingchen looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "Maybe. But, Miss Jiang, you deserve better." His tone carried a barely perceptible tenderness, as if he was comforting her, but also as if he was hinting at something.

Jiang Mubai raised his head suddenly and looked directly into Gu Tingchen's eyes, "What do you mean?"

Gu Tingchen did not answer directly, but bent down and picked up a piece of paper on the ground, on which was Cheng Yunchuan's signature. "When he signed, his hands were shaking badly." He said it lightly, but it was like a bomb exploding in Jiang Mubai's heart.

"Is he... also in pain?" Jiang Mubai murmured to himself, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Gu Tingchen looked at her, with a barely perceptible hint of mockery in his eyes, "Pain? Perhaps. But compared to your pain, what does his pain mean?" He stood up straight and looked down at her, "Ms. Jiang, have you ever thought that this might all be a scam?"

Jiang Mubai was stunned. "A scam? What do you mean?"

Gu Tingchen didn't explain, but just looked at her meaningfully, "Some things, you will understand later." He turned around and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said with his back to Jiang Mubai: "By the way, Miss Jiang, I am very interested in you."

Before Jiang Mubai could react, Gu Tingchen had already left the ward. Lisa walked to Jiang Mubai and asked worriedly, "Mubai, are you okay?"

Jiang Mubai shook his head, his eyes full of confusion, "Sister Lisa, I feel like... I don't seem to understand anything."

Lisa sighed and patted her shoulder gently, "Don't think too much, Mu Bai. Have a good rest, and everything will be fine."

However, will things really get better? Gu Tingchen's words, like a seed, took root in Jiang Mubai's heart, making her begin to doubt everything. Cheng Yunchuan's betrayal, Lisa's comfort, Gu Tingchen's appearance, all of this seemed like a carefully planned drama, and she was the protagonist in this drama, but she knew nothing about the plot.

The next day, Jiang Mubai was discharged from the hospital. She did not return to the love nest she and Cheng Yunchuan once had, but went to her previous apartment. When she opened the door, a smell of dust hit her face. Everything here was still the same as it was a few years ago, as if time had stopped here. Jiang Mubai walked to the French window, looking at the bustling city outside the window, feeling confused.

Suddenly, a cell phone ring broke the silence. Jiang Mubai picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey?"

"Ms. Jiang, I'm Gu Tingchen."

Jiang Mubai's hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily, "What's the matter?"

"Are you free tonight? I want to talk to you."

Talk? Talk about what? Jiang Mubai was full of doubts, but an inexplicable force drove her to accept Gu Tingchen's invitation.

"it is good."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Tingchen raised his lips with a meaningful smile, "See you tonight, Miss Jiang."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai's heart beat very fast. She didn't know what Gu Tingchen wanted to talk to her about, but she had a hunch that meeting tonight would change the trajectory of her life.

The dim light sprinkled in the slightly empty apartment, illuminating Jiang Mubai's slightly pale face. She held a red wine glass in her hand, and the scarlet liquid swayed gently with her movements, just like her confused thoughts at the moment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the wall clock struck seven times. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath, walked to the door, and opened it.

Gu Tingchen stood outside the door, wearing a well-tailored suit and holding a bouquet of bright red roses. Under the dim light, he looked particularly charming.

"Good evening, Miss Jiang." Gu Tingchen's voice was low and magnetic, with a subtle hint of aggression.

Jiang Mubai slightly turned sideways to let Gu Tingchen in. Gu Tingchen handed her the rose, "This is for you."

Jiang Mubai took the rose, and his fingertip was accidentally pricked by the thorn, and a trace of blood oozed out.

"Hiss..." Jiang Mubai cried out softly.

Gu Tingchen quickly grasped her hand and carefully checked the wound, "Why are you so careless?" His tone was a little reproachful, but more like a kind of doting.

Jiang Mubai pulled his hand back without leaving a trace, "It's just a minor injury."

Gu Tingchen didn't say anything, just looked at her deeply, then walked to the sofa and sat down. Jiang Mubai also sat down, keeping a subtle distance between them.

"Ms. Jiang, I think you have guessed why I came to see you tonight." Gu Tingchen broke the silence.

Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

Gu Tingchen smiled and said, "Actually, I've known you for a long time."

Jiang Mubai frowned, "I don't remember knowing you."
