Chapter 1146: Knowing mistakes can correct them
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. He had never seen Jiang Mubai like this before. In his impression, Jiang Mubai was always gentle and elegant, like a delicate lily, needing his care and protection. But at this moment, she had sharp eyes and exuded a terrifying aura, like a sword unsheathed, with its edge exposed.
Jiang Muze was also stunned. He didn't seem to expect Jiang Mubai to appear suddenly, let alone that she would have a gun in her hand. His hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Muxue leaned weakly in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, her eyes empty, as if she was completely unaware of anything in the outside world.
"Sister..." Jiang Muze's voice trembled a little, "You...how could you..."
Jiang Mubai ignored Jiang Muze, her eyes were fixed on the dagger in his hand. "I say again, put the knife down!" Her voice became even colder, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Jiang Muze finally loosened his grip. The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Jiang Mubai then moved the gun slightly away and signaled Cheng Yunchuan to take Jiang Muxue away.
Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Muxue in his arms, and carefully walked around Jiang Muze and came to Jiang Mubai. He looked at Jiang Mubai deeply, his eyes full of gratitude and doubt.
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then pointed the gun back at Jiang Muze. "You'd better not move." She said coldly.
Cheng Yunchuan carried Jiang Muxue out of the room.
Jiang Mubai and Jiang Muzhe were the only ones left in the room.
Jiang Muze sat on the ground dejectedly, his eyes empty, like a puppet that had lost its soul. "Sister..." he murmured, his voice full of helplessness and despair.
Jiang Mubai remained alert, with the muzzle of his gun pointed at Jiang Muze. "Muze, why did you do this?" Her voice was no longer cold, but with a hint of helplessness and pain.
"Why?" Jiang Muze suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of hatred, "Because of him! Because he destroyed everything for us!"
"Destroyed everything we have?" Jiang Mubai repeated Jiang Muze's words, his eyes full of confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten? He abandoned my sister and married you! He drove my sister crazy and broke our family apart!" Jiang Muzhe became more and more agitated, and his voice became louder and louder.
Jiang Mubai was silent. She knew that what Jiang Muze said was true, but she didn't understand why he hated Cheng Yunchuan so much.
"Mu Ze, calm down." Jiang Mubai tried to calm Jiang Mu Ze, "Things are not what you think..."
"It's not what I thought?" Jiang Muze interrupted Jiang Mubai, his tone full of sarcasm, "What is it like? Tell me, what is it like?"
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mu Xue's 'death' was a misunderstanding, I was not aware of it. Yunchuan married me because he thought Mu Xue was gone..."
"What nonsense! Do you think I will believe it?"
Jiang Mubai raised the gun in his hand and fired a shot at the ceiling. A loud "bang!" shook Jiang Muze's whole body.
"Now, am I qualified to speak?" Jiang Mubai's voice was low and calm, but it carried an irresistible power.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the room for a long time. Jiang Muze was pale and slumped on the ground, his eyes full of fear and shock. He had never seen Jiang Mubai like this, so strong and so determined.
Jiang Mubai slowly put down the gun, still pointing it at Jiang Muze. "Now, can we talk?" Her voice regained its calmness, but the intimidation contained in it did not diminish at all.
Jiang Muze's lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word. He originally thought that Jiang Mubai was still the gentle and kind sister who could be manipulated and used by him. But he was wrong. The one standing in front of him at this moment was a completely unfamiliar Jiang Mubai, a Jiang Mubai he had never known before.
"I know everything you said." Jiang Mubai's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, "Muxue's 'death', Yunchuan's misunderstanding, and your hatred for me..."
Jiang Muze raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. "Sister, do you know everything?"
Jiang Mubai smiled bitterly. "Not only do I know, I also know what you did. The medicine you secretly gave to Mu Xue, the suicide note you forged, and the fact that you deliberately led Yun Chuan to misunderstand me..."
Jiang Muzhe's face turned pale in an instant. He wanted to explain himself, but found that he had no way to start.
"Mu Ze, I can understand that you hate me." Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with sadness, "But have you ever thought that if Mu Xue were still alive, would she want to see you become like this?"
"Sister..." Jiang Muze's voice choked, "I... I just want to..."
"You want revenge, you want Yunchuan to suffer, you want me to also have a taste of losing everything." Jiang Mubai interrupted him mercilessly, "But have you ever thought that doing this will only make things worse?"
Jiang Mubai walked up to Jiang Muze, squatted down, and looked him straight in the eyes. "Muze, wake up! Muxue is gone. No matter how much you hate her, you can't change this fact. What you should do is live well, not live in hatred."
Jiang Muze's tears finally flowed down, and he cried loudly like a child. Jiang Mubai hugged him gently, patting his back tenderly like when he was a child.
After a long time, Jiang Muze's emotions gradually calmed down. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of guilt and regret. "Sister, I was wrong..."
Jiang Mubai smiled. "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Muze, you are still young and have a chance to start over."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Cheng Yunchuan rushed in. He saw Jiang Mubai holding Jiang Muzhe, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Mu Bai, are you okay?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was full of worry.
Jiang Mubai shook his head. "I'm fine. Mu Ze already knows he was wrong."
Cheng Yunchuan walked over to Jiang Mubai and gently held her in his arms. "You scared me to death. I thought..."
"Do you think he will kill me?" Jiang Mubai interrupted him with a smile, "You underestimate me."
Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. "Mubai, promise me that you will never do such dangerous things again."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of tenderness. "Okay, I promise you."
At this moment, Jiang Muzhe suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you..." Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed and he fell down, holding his chest.
Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan hurried forward to check, only to find a trace of black blood oozing from the corner of Jiang Muze's mouth...
