Chapter 907: Broken Life
Chapter 907: Broken Life
Jiang Mubai shook his hand off and left the restaurant without looking back.
She walked to the door, only to find Lu Jingchen standing there, his face terribly gloomy...
Lu Jingchen stood at the door of the restaurant, his face gloomy, his fists clenched, his knuckles white. He witnessed the scene of Gu Yanze grabbing Jiang Mubai's wrist, and anger surged in his chest. He wanted to rush in, but Jiang Mubai's resolute back stopped him. He knew her, what she needed at this moment was calmness, not more trouble.
Jiang Mubai walked in front of Lu Jingchen, her eyes were red and tears were rolling in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She took a deep breath and tried to maintain a calm tone: "Let's go."
Lu Jingchen held her in his arms distressedly, patted her back gently, and comforted her silently. He didn't ask anything, but just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Mubai's emotions finally broke down, and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. Lu Jingchen held her tightly in his arms and let her cry, he knew she needed to vent.
"Jingchen, am I useless?" Jiang Mubai choked up and said, "I always cause you trouble."
Lu Jingchen stroked her hair gently and said softly, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? You are the most important person to me, how can you be a trouble?"
"But..." Jiang Mubai wanted to say something, but was kissed by Lu Jingchen.
This kiss was gentle and lingering, with deep love and pity. Jiang Mubai gradually calmed down and responded to his kiss, melting all his grievances and uneasiness in this kiss.
The next day, they left the city and went to a new place to start a new life.
On the plane, Jiang Mubai looked out the window, her mind full of thoughts. Leaving the city was a relief and a new beginning for her. She knew that there would be many challenges waiting for them in the future, but she believed that as long as they loved each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.
Lu Jingchen held her hand, interlocking their fingers, giving her strength and courage. He knew that Jiang Mubai needed time to adapt to her new life, but he would always be by her side, giving her support and encouragement.
After arriving in the new city, Lu Jingchen began to arrange his new job and life. He contacted a new agency and began looking for a suitable residence. Jiang Mubai began to learn new skills to enrich his life.
The new environment and new life gradually helped Jiang Mubai get out of the shadow of the past. She began to become cheerful and a smile appeared on her face again.
Seeing her glowing again, Lu Jingchen was filled with relief. He knew that he had made the right choice.
However, the peaceful life did not last long.
One day, Jiang Mubai was shopping in the supermarket when he unexpectedly met Gu Yanze. He was still wearing a neat suit with a gentle smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"Mu Bai, long time no see." Gu Yanze said gently.
Jiang Mubai's face changed and he subconsciously took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Mubai asked in a cold tone.
"I just came to see you." Gu Yanze explained, "I want to know if you are doing well."
"None of your business!" Jiang Mubai said coldly, "Go away, I don't want to see you again."
"Mubai, I know you are still blaming me, but..." Gu Yanze wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Mubai.
"That's enough!" Jiang Mubai said firmly, "It's over between us. Don't come to me again."
After saying that, Jiang Mubai turned around and left without any hesitation.
Gu Yanze stood there, watching her leaving, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He did not give up, but followed Jiang Mubai silently.
When Jiang Mubai returned home, she found Gu Yanze standing at her door.
"You followed me?" Jiang Mubai asked angrily.
Gu Yanze did not deny it, but said lightly: "I just want to talk to you."
"There's nothing to talk about between us." Jiang Mubai said coldly, "Leave now, or I'll call the police."
Gu Yanze did not leave, but took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Mubai.
The photo was of a woman and a child. The woman looked very much like Jiang Mubai, and the child...
Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came to his mind...
Jiang Mubai's breathing stagnated, and his fingertips trembled slightly as he took the photo. The woman in the photo was indeed somewhat similar to her, especially her eyes, which were almost exactly the same. And the child, about five or six years old, vaguely had the shadow of Gu Yanze in his eyebrows and eyes.
"This is..." Jiang Mubai's voice was a little dry, she couldn't believe what she saw.
Gu Yanze took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "This is my child, and also...your child."
"My child?" Jiang Mubai's eyes widened, as if he had heard a huge joke. "What are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding." Gu Yanze said seriously, "Five years ago, we..." He paused, as if organizing his words, "The night we were together, you were drunk..."
Jiang Mubai's mind flashed through some vague fragments. She did drink a lot that night, and she couldn't remember anything after that. Could it be...
"No, it's impossible!" Jiang Mubai shook her head violently. She couldn't accept this fact.
"I know this is hard to accept, but it's the truth." Gu Yanze took out a paternity test report and handed it to Jiang Mubai, "You can see it for yourself."
Jiang Mubai took the report with trembling hands. The results clearly showed that she and the child were mother and son.
She felt like her world was collapsing, and all her cognition was overturned. She actually had a five-year-old child, and she had no idea.
"Mu Bai, I know you hate me, but the child is innocent." Gu Yanze said pleadingly, "I hope you can accept him."
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything. She just held the report tightly, tears silently falling.
When Lu Jingchen returned home, this was the scene he saw: Jiang Mubai was slumped on the ground, holding a report in his hand, tears streaming down his face.
He hurried forward, helped Jiang Mubai up, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Mubai handed the report to Lu Jingchen and said with a sob: "I... I have a child..."
After reading the report, Lu Jingchen's face became solemn. He didn't expect something like this to happen, and he knew it was a huge blow to Jiang Mubai.
"Don't worry, I will be with you." Lu Jingchen hugged Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, giving her comfort and strength.
Jiang Mubai leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms and cried even more sadly. She didn't know what to do, she felt that her life was in a mess.
