Chapter 909 Why are you helping me?
Gu Yanze glared at Jiang Mubai fiercely, but finally let go. He turned and walked towards the car. Before getting in, he looked back at Xiaoze who was hiding in Jiang Mubai's arms, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
The black Maybach drove away, leaving Jiang Mubai and Xiaoze standing there, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
After returning home, Jiang Mubai coaxed Xiaoze to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep. She got up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. The appearance of Gu Yanze made her already chaotic life more complicated. She didn't know how to face Xiaoze's life experience, nor did she know how to deal with the relationship between her and Gu Yanze.
Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke the tranquility of the night. Jiang Mubai glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Lu Jingchen.
"Mu Bai, are you okay?" Lu Jingchen's voice was full of worry.
"I'm fine." Jiang Mubai tried to make his voice sound calmer.
"Don't be so stubborn. I know you feel bad." Lu Jingchen said gently, "Don't forget, I'm here. I will always be by your side."
Jiang Mubai's eyes instantly turned red, and tears could not stop flowing down. She choked and said, "Jingchen, I..."
"Don't say anything, I know." Lu Jingchen interrupted her, "You just need to know that I'm always here."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai felt better. With Lu Jingchen around, she seemed to have the courage to face everything.
The next day, Jiang Mubai received an unexpected call from Gu Yanze's lawyer, who told her that Gu Yanze was willing to give up the custody of Xiaoze on the condition that Jiang Mubai must marry him.
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Yanze to make such a request. She refused subconsciously, but she knew in her heart that Gu Yanze would not give up easily.
In the next few days, Gu Yanze began to appear frequently in Jiang Mubai and Xiaoze's lives. He would send Xiaoze to kindergarten, pick Xiaoze up from school, and even play games with Xiaoze. He acted like a loving father, which made Jiang Mubai and Xiaoze feel very uncomfortable.
Although Xiaoze is still very shy, he seems to like being with Gu Yanze. He would hold Gu Yanze's hand and call him "Dad" in a baby voice. Every time Jiang Mubai heard Xiaoze call Gu Yanze "Dad", his heart felt like being stabbed by a needle.
Lu Jingchen also noticed the change in Jiang Mubai's mood. He was worried that Jiang Mubai would agree to Gu Yanze's request. He found Jiang Mubai and asked seriously, "Mubai, are you really going to marry Gu Yanze?"
Jiang Mubai shook his head and said firmly, "No, I won't marry him. Xiaoze is my child, and I won't let anyone take him away from me."
"But..." Lu Jingchen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Mubai.
"I know what you are worried about," Jiang Mubai looked at Lu Jingchen with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you, Jingchen. I know you have always supported me, and I will stick to my choice."
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai's determined eyes, feeling helpless. He knew that Jiang Mubai had made a decision, and he could only support her silently.
However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. Gu Yanze suddenly held a press conference, at which he publicly announced his father-son relationship with Xiaoze, and accused Jiang Mubai of deliberately concealing Xiaoze's life experience in an attempt to monopolize Xiaoze.
This sudden news put Jiang Mubai in a huge crisis...
Gu Yanze's press conference was like a thunderbolt that shook the entire entertainment industry. The Internet was flooded with news about Jiang Mubai "having a child out of wedlock" and "cheating the public." Fans who once loved her turned against her, and the comment section was filled with abuse and doubts.
Jiang Mubai's career plummeted, her endorsements were withdrawn, her new roles were replaced, and even when she walked on the street, people would point fingers at her. She locked herself in the house, not daring to go out or answer any phone calls. Xiaoze watched all this in a daze. He didn't know what was going on, he only knew that his mother became very sad and always hid in the room crying.
Lu Jingchen anxiously stayed by Jiang Mubai's side, feeling distressed as he watched her become increasingly haggard. He ran around trying to save the situation, but to no avail. Gu Yanze's power was too great for him to contend with.
"Mubai, you can't go on like this," Lu Jingchen held Jiang Mubai's cold hand and said firmly, "You must fight back!"
Jiang Mubai raised his head with a hollow look in his eyes. "Fight back? How can I fight back? I don't have any evidence to prove that Xiaoze is not his child."
"I have it!" Lu Jingchen took out a USB flash drive and put it in Jiang Mubai's hand. "I asked someone to find this. It's evidence that Gu Yanze was with another woman. Although the date doesn't match Xiaoze's date of birth, it at least proves that he has a chaotic private life and is not a good father."
Jiang Mubai looked at the USB flash drive in her hand, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually regained clarity, "Jingchen, thank you."
Lu Jingchen smiled gently, "Silly, we are friends, why say thank you."
Jiang Mubai decided to hold a press conference to publicly clarify the facts. At the press conference, she generously admitted the existence of Xiaoze, but denied that Gu Yanze was Xiaoze's father. She played the video provided by Lu Jingchen and exposed Gu Yanze's true face.
However, Gu Yanze was prepared. He bit back, saying that Jiang Mubai deliberately fabricated the facts to cover up his immoral private life. He also produced a forged paternity test report to prove that Xiaoze was his child.
Public opinion turned around again, and Jiang Mubai was once again pushed to the forefront. She felt like she had fallen into a bottomless abyss and couldn't climb out.
Just then, an unexpected person appeared.
A man in a black suit walked onto the stage. He was tall, had a stern temperament, and sharp eyes. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.
"Hello everyone, I'm Fu Sihan, Jiang Mubai's...fiancé."
There was an uproar.
Jiang Mubai was also stunned. She didn't know this man at all.
Fu Sihan walked over to Jiang Mubai, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and gave the camera a charming smile, "Mubai and I are engaged. Xiaoze is my child and has nothing to do with Mr. Gu."
He turned to look at Gu Yanze with cold eyes, "Mr. Gu, I hope you will not harass my fiancée and children again, otherwise, I will not let you go."
Gu Yanze's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway. He glared at Jiang Mubai fiercely and turned to leave the press conference.
After the press conference, Jiang Mubai pulled Fu Sihan aside and asked, "Why did you help me?"
