Chapter 1014 Take Back Everything
Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. He could finally be with his beloved woman.
However, at this moment, Jiang Mubai's cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Mubai picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, his face turned pale instantly.
It’s Su Nian’s call.
How could a person who had already "died" call her?
Jiang Mubai held the phone, her fingertips turned white, and every ring of the phone seemed to hit her heart, shaking her so much that she could hardly breathe. Cheng Yunchuan also heard the ringing. He hugged Jiang Mubai worriedly and asked in a low voice: "Xiaobai, what's wrong? Who's calling?"
Jiang Mubai turned his phone screen towards Cheng Yunchuan with trembling hands. The words "Su Nian" flashed on the screen, like a sharp knife, stabbing Cheng Yunchuan's heart fiercely. He felt his blood solidify instantly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The air in the room seemed to be stagnant, dead silent, with only the continuous ringing sounding particularly harsh. Cheng Yunchuan felt his mind go blank, he couldn't think, couldn't explain, and couldn't face Jiang Mubai's eyes at this moment.
In those eyes, there was shock, confusion, pain, and even deep...suspicion.
The ringing finally stopped, but it was followed by an even more suffocating silence. Jiang Mubai slowly put the phone down, but his eyes never left Cheng Yunchuan's face.
"Yunchuan," she said in a hoarse voice, as if her throat was filled with gravel, "Do you... do you have anything else to say to me?"
Cheng Yunchuan opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He wanted to explain, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless. Su Nian's call was like a bomb, shattering the trust they had just built.
"Yunchuan," Jiang Mubai's voice sounded again, and this time, there was a little more trembling in her voice, "Tell me, Su Nian... who is she?"
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath. He knew that he had to say something, otherwise, everything between him and Jiang Mubai would be over.
"Xiaobai, I..." He spoke with difficulty, but didn't know how to continue.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai's phone rang again, and it was still Su Nian calling. Jiang Mubai didn't answer it, but just looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of despair.
Cheng Yunchuan snatched the phone away, pressed the answer button, and said in a cold tone: "Su Nian, what do you want to do?"
A weak voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of sarcasm: "Cheng Yunchuan, do you think you can really escape? Do you think you can forget the past and start over?"
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his phone tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hand: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Su Nian?"
"Haha," a sneer came from the other end of the phone, "Who am I? I am Su Nian! Cheng Yunchuan, can you really not recognize me?"
Cheng Yunchuan felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he could hardly breathe. He was too familiar with this voice, it was the voice of his unforgettable first love, Su Nian.
But, Su Nian had clearly already...
"Impossible!" Cheng Yunchuan almost shouted, "You are already dead! You can't be alive!"
There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then a low sigh came: "Cheng Yunchuan, do you really think I'm dead? Do you really think you can get rid of me?"
"You..." Cheng Yunchuan felt his brain was in a mess and he didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone: "Cheng Yunchuan, long time no see."
Cheng Yunchuan was also very familiar with this voice; it was Gu Tingchen's voice.
"Gu Tingchen!" Cheng Yunchuan gritted his teeth, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Gu Tingchen chuckled: "What do I want to do? I just want you to know that there are some things you can never escape. Su Nian is still alive, and you, don't ever think about being with her."
After that, the phone was hung up.
Cheng Yunchuan held the phone, his hands shaking violently. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Mubai, only to find that Jiang Mubai was already in tears.
"Yunchuan," Jiang Mubai said with a sob, "Tell me, what is going on? Su Nian... is she really still alive?"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. He knew that he had to tell the truth, even if this truth would make him lose Jiang Mubai.
"Xiaobai," he took a deep breath, "I..."
Just as he was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open and a woman walked in.
The woman was wearing a white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders and a pale face, but her eyes and eyebrows were strikingly similar to Jiang Mubai.
She looked at Cheng Yunchuan, with a faint smile on her lips: "Yunchuan, long time no see."
Jiang Mubai looked at the woman in front of him and felt that his world completely collapsed at this moment.
Cheng Yunchuan felt his blood freeze. He turned his head stiffly and looked at the woman in front of him who looked almost exactly like Jiang Mubai, his brain buzzing.
"Su...Su Nian?" He uttered the name with difficulty, his voice as dry as sandpaper rubbing against wooden boards.
The woman smiled slightly, with the shadow of Su Nian in her eyes and eyebrows. "Yunchuan, long time no see." Her voice was gentle, but like a sharp knife, piercing Cheng Yunchuan's heart.
Jiang Mubai stumbled back, covering her mouth with one hand, tears silently falling. She looked at Cheng Yunchuan, then at the woman in front of her who looked so similar to herself, her heart was in turmoil, but she couldn't say a word.
"This...what is going on?" Jiang Mubai finally found his voice, but it was trembling violently.
Su Nian turned her gaze to Jiang Mubai, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "Are you Jiang Mubai?" She spoke calmly, but with a subtle scrutiny.
Jiang Mubai bit her lip and didn't answer. She felt like she had fallen into a huge trap, and everything around her became unreal.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Su Nian, you're not dead? How...how is this possible?"
Su Nian chuckled and walked to the sofa and sat down with an elegant posture. "Why not? Do you want me to die?" She looked at Cheng Yunchuan provocatively, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. "That's not what I meant. I'm just... shocked."
"Shocked? Haha," Su Nian sneered, "You should be shocked by what's to come."
Jiang Mubai couldn't hold back any longer, rushed to Su Nian, and grabbed her collar. "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Su Nian? What do you want to do?"
Su Nian let Jiang Mubai hold her, still with a faint smile on her face. "I said, I am Su Nian. As for what I want to do," she paused, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "of course, to take back everything that belongs to me."
