Chapter 961: Fight with reason
Cheng Yunchuan also echoed: "Mom is right, Mu Bai, I'm worried about you going back alone. What if..." He paused and didn't continue, but the worry in his eyes was clearly visible.
Jiang Mubai was touched, but she shook her head with a firm look in her eyes. "No, I have to go back. I know my dad, he's angry, and I'm worried he'll do something impulsive. I have to go back to be with him."
Cheng Yunchuan respected her decision, held her hand tightly, and gave her silent support. "Okay, I'll go back with you."
The two drove to the Jiang family villa. Before entering the house, they heard Jiang Hai's roar, mixed with the crackling sound of things breaking, which was frightening. Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
The living room was in a mess, with precious porcelain fragments scattered all over the floor, and a suffocating atmosphere in the air. Jiang Hai sat on the sofa, his face livid, holding an entertainment newspaper in his hand, which was the issue reporting the Sophie incident. Seeing Jiang Mubai, he became even more furious, and threw the newspaper fiercely in front of her, "Look at what you have done! You have brought shame to the Jiang family!"
"Dad, things are not what you think. Let me explain..." Jiang Mubai tried to explain, but Jiang Hai would not listen at all. He interrupted her angrily, "Explanation? What else is there to explain? It's clearly written in the newspaper! You were fooled by that actor and even forgot your last name!"
Jiang Mubai bit his lip and argued, "Dad, I believe Yunchuan, he is not that kind of person! Sophie deliberately framed him, we have evidence..."
"Evidence? Humph! What evidence can compare to the photos and chat records in the newspaper? You were simply deceived by his sweet words!" Jiang Hai was furious, pointing at Cheng Yunchuan's nose and cursing, "You, Cheng Yunchuan, get out! Our Jiang family can't afford you!"
Cheng Yunchuan took a step forward, his expression calm and his tone firm, "Uncle Jiang, I am sincere to Mu Bai, and I will prove it to you with practical actions."
Jiang Hai sneered, "Proof? How to prove? Who do you think you are? What can an actor bring to our Jiang family?"
At the stalemate, Jiang Mubai suddenly spoke with a resolute tone, "Dad, if you really want to do this for my own good, please give us a chance. If Yunchuan can't produce results that satisfy you within a month, we will break up."
Jiang Hai was stunned. He didn't expect his daughter to say such a thing. He looked at Cheng Yunchuan suspiciously, thinking about something in his mind. One month...what can one month do? He sneered, and he already had an idea in his mind. "Okay, I'll give you one month. If you satisfy me, I'll agree to your relationship. But if you disappoint me..." He paused, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Don't ever think about getting close to my daughter again!"
Cheng Yunchuan agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I promise you."
One month was undoubtedly a huge challenge for Cheng Yunchuan. How could he satisfy this stubborn father-in-law within a month? He glanced at Jiang Mubai beside him, his eyes full of determination and tenderness. For her, he was willing to give everything, even if it meant going through fire and water... Just then, the door of the villa was suddenly knocked open, and a group of men in black rushed in. The man in the lead held a pistol in his hand, pointing it at Cheng Yunchuan, and said in a cold tone, "Cheng Yunchuan, your death is coming!"
A huge crowd of people rushed in, surrounding Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai in a well-trained manner, like a group of cheetahs waiting for an opportunity. The oppressive atmosphere in the room solidified instantly. Jiang Hai cried "ouch" and rolled and crawled behind the sofa, his fat body shaking like a sieve. The man in the lead was Su Fei's brother Su Qiang. The anger in his eyes almost burned Cheng Yunchuan to ashes.
"Cheng Yunchuan! You bastard, you ruined my sister's reputation. Today I will make you pay with blood!" Su Qiang gritted his teeth, holding a shining dagger in his hand, reflecting a chilling light under the light.
Cheng Yunchuan protected Jiang Mubai behind him, his eyes as calm as water. "Su Qiang, there is something else going on with Sophie's matter, calm down and listen to my explanation."
"Explain? What the hell! My sister has admitted it herself, and you still want to deny it?" Su Qiang roared and waved his hand, "Come on, beat him to death!"
The man in black received the order and rushed towards Cheng Yunchuan like a hungry wolf. Fists and kicks rained down on Cheng Yunchuan. He groaned, but tightly protected Jiang Mubai behind him to prevent her from getting hurt.
"Yunchuan!" Jiang Mubai watched Cheng Yunchuan being beaten, her heart aching. She struggled desperately and wanted to rush forward, but was violently pushed to the ground by the man in black. The back of her head hit the corner of the table hard, her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness.
Seeing Jiang Mubai fall to the ground, Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were bloodshot, and an unprecedented anger surged from the depths of his heart. He no longer passively took the beating, his eyes suddenly became sharp, his movements were as fast as a leopard, as if he had become a different person. He grabbed a man in black by the collar, threw him to the ground, and then kicked away another man in black who tried to sneak attack.
Su Qiang watched his men being knocked down by Cheng Yunchuan like cutting melons and vegetables, and was so frightened that his face turned pale and he turned around and wanted to run. Cheng Yunchuan rushed over, grabbed his collar, and lifted him back like a chicken.
"What...what do you want to do?" Su Qiang asked tremblingly, his eyes full of fear.
Cheng Yunchuan stared at him coldly, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, but he finally held back and didn't hit him hard. He knew that violence couldn't solve the problem, it would only make things worse.
At this time, the sound of sirens came from far away, and the police broke into the room and quickly took control of the scene. Cheng Yunchuan handed Su Qiang to the police, then turned and ran towards the unconscious Jiang Mubai. He gently picked her up, feeling heartbroken.
"Mu Bai, wake up..." He called in a low voice, his voice trembling.
In the hospital, the smell of disinfectant was pungent. Cheng Yunchuan sat beside the bed, holding Jiang Mubai's hand tightly, his eyes never leaving her. Her face was pale and her breathing was weak, which made him feel distressed.
After the doctor examined him, he told him that Jiang Mubai only had a mild concussion and would be fine after a few days of rest. Hearing this news, Cheng Yunchuan finally let go of his worries.
He gently stroked Jiang Mubai's cheek, his eyes so gentle that tears could drip from them. He leaned over to her ear and whispered softly, "Mubai, I'm sorry for making you suffer. I will definitely protect you and never let you get hurt again."
Jiang Mubai's eyelids trembled slightly, as if she heard his words. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
"Yunchuan..." She called weakly, her voice hoarse.
