Chapter 1144 Hate to the Bone
Cheng Yunchuan nodded and told Jiang Mubai what had happened.
Jiang Mubai had mixed feelings after hearing this. She had never thought that the truth would be like this. She had always thought that the murderer was Lisa, but she had never thought that the real murderer was actually Gu Han.
"Yunchuan, I..." Jiang Mubai said with a sob, "I...I'm sorry to my sister..."
Cheng Yunchuan held Jiang Mubai in his arms and patted her back gently. "Mubai, this is not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself."
Jiang Mubai hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
At this moment, Cheng Yunchuan's phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Cheng Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call. "Hello?"
"Cheng Yunchuan, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly shrank, he recognized the voice...it was Jiang Muxue's voice!
Cheng Yunchuan felt his blood freeze. He had no doubt that Jiang Muxue's voice was wrong. But she had clearly...
"Where are you?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was trembling, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white.
There was a chuckle from the other end of the phone, with a hint of sarcasm. "Why, Cheng Da Ming Xing, are you surprised to hear my voice? Didn't you see me die with your own eyes?"
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "Mu Xue, if you are still alive, why don't you show up? Why are you pretending to be dead? Do you know that because of your 'death', Gu Han and Lisa..."
"Heh," Jiang Muxue interrupted him, "They brought this upon themselves. What does it have to do with me? As for why I pretended to be dead... Of course it was to avoid you, such an annoying guy!"
Cheng Yunchuan's heart suddenly shrank, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. Avoid him? Why?
Jiang Mubai noticed something was wrong with Cheng Yunchuan and asked worriedly, "Yunchuan, what's wrong? Who called?"
Cheng Yunchuan did not answer. All his attention was focused on the voice on the other end of the phone. "Mu Xue, where are you? Let's meet."
"Meet? What do you want to do? Kill me again?" Jiang Muxue's voice became sharp, filled with strong hatred.
Cheng Yunchuan felt as if his heart was pierced by a needle, and a dense pain spread out. "Mu Xue, you misunderstood, I..."
"I didn't misunderstand!" Jiang Muxue suddenly raised her voice, "Cheng Yunchuan, I hate you! I hate you to the bone!" After that, she hung up the phone.
Cheng Yunchuan held the phone in a daze, Jiang Muxue's hateful voice still echoing in his ears. He felt like he had fallen into an ice hole, and his whole body was cold.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's pale face, feeling uneasy. "Yunchuan, what happened? Tell me, okay?"
Cheng Yunchuan slowly raised his head, his eyes empty and confused. "Mu Bai, I... I don't know either."
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have lost his soul and became dazed. He kept calling the strange number, but no one answered.
Jiang Mubai felt distressed as she watched Cheng Yunchuan become increasingly thin. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan must still be thinking about Jiang Muxue.
One night, Jiang Mubai plucked up the courage to say to Cheng Yunchuan: "Yunchuan, let's get married."
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Getting married?"
Jiang Mubai nodded, his eyes full of determination. "Yes, get married. I know you still have my sister in your heart, but...but I love you too. I want to be with you, I want to be your wife."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Jiang Mubai's love for him was sincere and selfless.
"Mu Bai, I..." Cheng Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. "Okay, let's get married."
The preparations for the wedding were going on in full swing. However, on the eve of the wedding, Cheng Yunchuan suddenly received a mysterious email. There was only a photo in the email, and the photo was of a woman who looked exactly like Jiang Muxue.
The woman stood at the door of a luxurious villa with a strange smile on her face. On the back of the photo was a line of words: Want to know the truth? Come here to find me.
Cheng Yunchuan's heart started beating violently. Who was this woman? What was her relationship with Jiang Muxue? What secrets were hidden in Jiang Muxue's "death"?
He glanced at Jiang Mubai who was trying on a wedding dress, and his heart was full of contradictions. Should he go to the appointment? If he went, would there be any danger? If he didn't go, he would never know the truth.
In the end, Cheng Yunchuan decided to go to the appointment. He left a note for Jiang Mubai and drove to the address on the photo.
The door of the villa was open, and Cheng Yunchuan walked in and found that there was no one inside. He walked through the magnificent living room and came to the study on the second floor.
The door of the study was ajar. Cheng Yunchuan gently pushed it open and walked in.
A woman was standing in front of the window with her back to him, her figure exactly like Jiang Muxue.
"You're here." The woman turned around slowly with a meaningful smile on her face.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, and his heart sank. This woman was not Jiang Muxue, but...
Cheng Yunchuan looked at the woman in front of him and his breath stagnated. She had the same face and eyes as Jiang Muxue, but her temperament was completely different. Jiang Muxue was cold and aloof, but the woman in front of him had a cunning look in her eyes, a hint of... playfulness.
"Who are you?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled a little.
The woman chuckled, walked to the sofa beside her and sat down elegantly, crossing her legs in a lazy posture. "Who am I? This is an interesting question. Mr. Cheng, don't you have an answer in your heart?"
Cheng Yunchuan's heart beat faster. He remembered that Jiang Muxue once said that she had a twin sister who was sent abroad when she was young. Could it be...
"Are you... Jiang Muzhe?" Cheng Yunchuan asked tentatively.
The woman raised her eyebrows but did not deny it. "It seems that you still remember her."
"Muxue... is she still alive?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was full of hope, but also a hint of fear. If Jiang Muxue was still alive, then what had he missed in the past few years?
Jiang Muze chuckled, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Alive? Mr. Cheng, what is your definition of 'alive'? Is it breathing, or existing?"
Cheng Yunchuan's heart sank. Jiang Muze's words made him feel uneasy and even more confused. "What do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing." Jiang Muze waved his hand, his tone nonchalant. "I just want to tell you that some things you see may not be true."
Cheng Yunchuan stared at Jiang Muzhe closely, trying to see something from her eyes, but he found that her eyes were unfathomable, like a huge whirlpool that was about to suck him in.
