Chapter 969 Pay the price
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, with only the baby's gentle breathing echoing in the air.
Cheng Yunchuan snatched the report from the woman and looked at it carefully. His brows were furrowed and his face was terribly gloomy. The result in the report was clear and unambiguous. An An was indeed not his child.
"This is impossible!" Cheng Yunchuan growled and threw the report to the ground. "Why did you do this?"
The woman chuckled, her laughter was sharp and piercing. "Why? For the money, of course! Who do you think I am? The Virgin Mary? I planned that night five years ago! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this today?"
Jiang Mubai staggered back a few steps, her face as pale as paper. She covered her chest and felt that breathing became difficult. She had always thought that the night five years ago was an accident, an arrangement of fate. But now, she realized that she had been deceived from the beginning.
Cheng Yunchuan grabbed the woman by the collar and pushed her hard against the wall. "How dare you play tricks on me?"
"So what if I play tricks on you?" The woman met Cheng Yunchuan's gaze without fear, "Do you think you are a good person? Aren't you still being played around by me?"
Cheng Yunchuan's grip tightened, and the woman's face gradually turned red.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai's weak voice sounded, "Let her go..."
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and slowly loosened his hand. The woman fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Get out!" Cheng Yunchuan spat out a word coldly.
The woman got up, straightened her messy clothes, then turned and left.
The room fell silent again. Jiang Mubai slumped on the sofa, tears falling silently. She didn't know what to do, nor how to continue this relationship.
Cheng Yunchuan walked to Jiang Mubai, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. He stretched out his hand, wanting to hold her in his arms, but stopped in mid-air.
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes empty and confused. "Yunchuan, we... are over..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart suddenly sank, as if being grasped by an invisible hand. "Mu Bai, listen to me..."
"I'm tired," Jiang Mubai interrupted him, "I'm really tired..."
She held An An in her arms, slowly stood up, and walked towards the bedroom. Cheng Yunchuan stood there, looking at her back, feeling as if his heart had been hollowed out.
At this moment, An An suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Yunchuan, then grinned, revealing an innocent smile.
Cheng Yunchuan's heart trembled suddenly. He looked at An An with complicated eyes. Although this child was not his own flesh and blood, he already regarded him as his own.
He walked quickly to Jiang Mubai, took An An from her hands, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Mu Bai," his voice was low and hoarse, "Even if An An is not my child, I will treat him as my own son. I love you, and I love An An. Our family of three will never be separated."
Jiang Mubai's tears flowed again, this time, she was moved and helpless. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan was a good man, but she really didn't know if she still had the courage to continue this relationship.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Cheng Yunchuan held An An and went to open the door. A young man stood outside the door with a document in his hand.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Cheng Yunchuan?" the man asked.
"I am." Cheng Yunchuan replied.
"This is An An's paternity test report," the man handed the document to Cheng Yunchuan, "Please take a look."
Cheng Yunchuan took the file, opened it, and was stunned. The report showed that An An's father was actually his half-brother, Cheng Yunfeng!
Cheng Yunchuan's head buzzed, and the report paper in his hand fell to the ground. An An, is actually his brother's child? He looked at Jiang Mubai, she was still pale, with empty eyes, as if she was not surprised by this result.
"Mu Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled, "What...what's going on?"
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, as if she had finally mustered up the courage. "Five years ago, I was...by your brother..." She choked and couldn't continue.
Cheng Yunchuan grabbed her shoulders and asked, "He forced you?" He almost yelled, anger burning in his eyes.
Jiang Mubai closed his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks. "That night, I was drunk..."
"Damn it!" Cheng Yunchuan punched the wall, his joints cracking. He had always thought that some blind man had taken advantage of Jiang Mubai, but he didn't expect that it was his own brother!
"Yunchuan, don't do this..." Jiang Mubai grabbed his hand. His hand was hot and his knuckles were bluish-white.
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. "Mu Bai, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well..." His voice was hoarse and full of self-blame.
Jiang Mubai cried silently in his arms. The pain that had been suppressed for five years completely erupted at this moment.
Cheng Yunchuan patted her back gently, his eyes sinister. Cheng Yunfeng, he would never let him go!
An An seemed to sense her mother's emotions and started crying too. Cheng Yunchuan looked down at the little guy in his arms, feeling mixed emotions. This was his brother's child, but also the child of the woman he loved deeply.
"Mu Bai," Cheng Yunchuan raised his head, his eyes firm, "Marry me."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes. "Yunchuan..."
"Marry me," Cheng Yunchuan repeated, "I will take care of you and An An for the rest of your life."
Jiang Mubai's tears flowed again, this time out of joy and emotion. "Okay..." She agreed while choking.
Cheng Yunchuan lowered his head and kissed her lips, gently and affectionately.
The next day, Cheng Yunchuan found Cheng Yunfeng. When Cheng Yunfeng saw him, a flash of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" he asked casually.
"Cheng Yunfeng," Cheng Yunchuan's voice was cold, "You know what you did to Mu Bai."
Cheng Yunfeng's face changed, "Brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Five years ago, you forced her, right?" Cheng Yunchuan approached him, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Cheng Yunfeng subconsciously took a step back, "I didn't! It was her..."
"Pa!" Cheng Yunchuan slapped him in the face. Cheng Yunfeng staggered and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"You dare to do it but not take responsibility?" Cheng Yunchuan roared, "An An's paternity test report, do you think I can't understand it?"
Cheng Yunfeng’s face turned pale, he knew that he was finished.
"Brother, I..." He wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
"From today on, you are no longer my brother," Cheng Yunchuan looked at him coldly, "I will make you pay the price."
