[World 7] Chapter 187

  Qin Che called Jiang Mu many times but no one answered. He also sent messages to Jiang Mu, but there was no response.

  Yesterday, Qin's mother reminded him that today was Jiang Mu's birthday and told him Jiang Mu's new address.

  A few days ago, Qin's mother called Jiang Mu and said that she wanted to send her a few pieces of bacon she made herself, and asked her to pay attention to pick up the express delivery. Jiang Mu told her that she had moved and would not be back for a few days because she was filming. Qin's mother asked for her address and said that she would send it to her when she returned.

  Only then did Qin's mother know the address of Jiang Mu's new home, and then she turned around and told Qin Che, otherwise Qin Che would not have known that Jiang Mu had moved.

  He prepared a gift in advance, thinking that he could give Jiang Mu a surprise on her birthday. He had never celebrated Jiang Mu's birthday before, and perhaps his transformation could move Jiang Mu.

  Who knew that Jiang Mu couldn't be contacted? He knew that Jiang Mu had finished filming and was returning to City S today. He guessed that she would go home, so he came here to wait.

  Qin Che had been waiting until now, and it was already past twelve o'clock. He thought he could not wait any longer and was about to go home, but he happened to see a car parked downstairs of Jiang Mu's house. It was so late, and the sudden appearance of a car naturally caught Qin Che's attention.

  He didn't expect that the person sitting in the car was actually Jiang Mu.

  However, besides Jiang Mu, there was another man.

  Qin Che also knew this man, he was Jiang Mu's agent Lu Ran.

  If Qin Che had seen Jiang Mu taking Lu Ran's car home before, he would not have thought much about it. However, ever since the last phone call between Qin Che and Lu Ran, Qin Che did not have a good impression of Lu Ran.

  After calling Jiang Mu's name, he walked quickly towards the two of them.

  "Why did you come back so late?" Qin Che looked at the two of them with an unchanging expression.

  Jiang Mu: "Why are you here?"

  Jiang Mu did not answer. She looked at Qin Che in surprise, her eyes slowly falling on the gift bag in his hand.

  Qin Che paused and said, "Today is your birthday. I called you but you didn't answer."

  Jiang Mu quickly took out her phone from her bag and found that there were several missed calls. "Sorry, I turned on the silent mode and didn't hear it."

  Qin Che's expression did not improve. He looked at Lu Ran coldly, "Thank you for sending her back."

  Lu Ran sneered, "No need to thank me, it has nothing to do with you if I send her back."

  Qin Che: "…"

  Jiang Mu looked at the two of them and thought, this is the familiar Shura scene again.

  It's always like this, so boring.

  Qin Che: "Since you've already send her, you can leave."

  Lu Ran: "Whether I leave or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. This is our business."

  Lu Ran was a sharp-tongued person who could not hold back. He could argue with him even on the phone, so naturally he would never say a single nice thing when they met.

  Qin Che rarely had conflicts with others and was always gentle and polite in front of others. He had never said and would not say things like what Lu Ran said. He was speechless for a moment and could not find any words to fight back. His face turned blue and he was very angry.

  Qin Che was already trying his best to control his emotions. He stared at Lu Ran and said, "You guys? What is your relationship?"

  Lu Ran didn't sneer this time, but smiled brightly from the bottom of his heart, "I don't think I need to answer this question. You don't need to know about our relationship."

  After saying that, he pulled Jiang Mu upstairs.

  This action made Qin Che very angry.

  Jiang Mu was happy to see this happen, and did not stop it or say anything.

  Qin Che glanced at Jiang Mu and saw that she looked calm, neither explaining nor getting angry. He felt more confident. Although he was angry, he could see that Jiang Mu and Lu Ran were not in a relationship, otherwise Jiang Mu would not be so cold.

  But... this coldness was also directed at him, which showed that Jiang Mu had no intention of forgiving him or accepting him again.

  Even though he was waiting downstairs of her house so late to celebrate her birthday, Jiang Mu was not moved at all.

  Qin Che felt even more depressed when he thought of this.

  He looked at Jiang Mu and whispered, "Jiang Mu, can I talk to you?"

  Lu Ran: "What's there to talk about? Didn't the two of you make it clear already when you've divorced?"

  Lu Ran would never give Qin Che a chance. Jiang Mu was the one he liked, so how could Qin Che still be thinking about her?

  Qin Che: "This is a matter between Jiang Mu and me. It has nothing to do with you, an outsider."

  Lu Ran: "I'm afraid you are the one who should said this to yourself."

  The conversation between the two was full of tension. Jiang Mu, standing aside, felt as if sparks were about to fly onto her.

  Their eyes were full of murderous power, as if they directly blocked Jiang Mu who was standing between them and shot straight at each other.

  Finally, Jiang Mu said to Lu Ran: "Brother Lu Ran, why don't you go back first, I will talk to him, nothing will happen."

  Lu Ran frowned. He didn't want to leave. Wouldn't it be stupid to leave Jiang Mu alone to Qin Che?

  But Jiang Mu's eyes were firm, and he had no right to say no, so he could only tactfully advise her not to have anything to do with Qin Che anymore, as it would not do her any good.

  His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Qin Che to hear.

  Qin Che, who was listening nearby, felt the veins on his brow throbbing and glared at Lu Ran fiercely.

  Lu Ran looked at him provocatively, as if to say, "What else can you do to me?"

  When he was in the company, he was always aggressive and was famous for his bad temper. Recently, because of Jiang Mu, his temper seemed to have calmed down a bit.

  Jiang Mu said: "It's okay, I'll just made it clear to him, you don't have to worry, go back first."

  Lu Ran thought about it and decided that it would be enough to stop at the right time. Jiang Mu should have given up on Qin Che. If he went too far, Jiang Mu would sympathize with Qin Che, which was not what he wanted to see.

  Women's compassion is terrible. They often develop feelings for a man because of their sympathy for him.

  Lu Ran: "Okay, tell me when you get home."

  Jiang Mu: "I know."

  Lu Ran nodded, then turned around and got into the car. After getting in, he and Jiang Mu waved goodbye, deliberately acting very intimate in front of Qin Che.

  Qin Che had never been provoked like this in his life. He watched Lu Ran's car drive away with a very unhappy expression on his face.

  "What do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me." Jiang Mu said to Qin Che.

  Qin Che was silent for a few seconds, and adjusted his mood. "Today is your birthday. I just want to celebrate your birthday."

  Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

  Seeing this, Qin Che didn't know what he said wrong, and quickly made amends: "Happy birthday, Jiang Mu, this is the gift I bought for you."

  Jiang Mu didn't reach out to take it, but smiled bitterly and said, "This is the first time in all these years that you remember my birthday. You never prepared a gift for me before. The only time was when Aunt Qin bought it and asked you to give it to me. I was so happy at that time, but later I found out that it wasn't you who bought it. I was so stupid at that time."

  Jiang Mu's words aroused Qin Che's guilt.

  He didn't remember it this time either, and it was Qin's mother who reminded him.

  He really realized that losing Jiang Mu was entirely his own fault, but now he really wanted to make amends.

  He didn't remember it before, but he will definitely remember it in the future. He will write it down in a memo, set a reminder, and will definitely not do it again.

  It is true that he was not nice to Jiang Mu in the past, but he believed that he could change and would be different from before.

  "Thank you for the gift, but I don't need it anymore. I've been filming these days and my life is very fulfilling. I've also been thinking a lot about what's going on between us."

  Qin Che frowned, "What are you thinking about?"

  Jiang Mu showed a nonchalant smile, "I've thought it through. In the past, I always put you first. You were all in my heart and eyes. As long as I could be by your side, I would do anything. As long as you were happy, I could sacrifice myself. But now I know that I was wrong. Not only would it not make you like me, but it would make you hate me more and more. A person who doesn't love himself cannot get the love of others. I should have my own life, my own life, instead of putting everything on you."

  Qin Che felt extremely complicated after hearing these words. In fact... he knew what Jiang Mu had done for him in the past, but he just didn't care and had never really cared about Jiang Mu.

  Jiang Mu, who loved him so much in the past, must feel very aggrieved and have a hard time.

  Qin Che's eyes became deep, filled with heartache for Jiang Mu.

  "Mu Mu, I'm sorry."

  Jiang Mu smiled, "It's okay. When we just got divorced, I really hated you. I hated why you didn't love me, why you were so cruel, why you didn't think that we are childhood sweethearts... Why did you marry me when you obviously didn't love me, and why you gave me a glimmer of hope."

  When Jiang Mu said these words, her eyes were clear and pure. She stared into Qin Che's eyes, like a bright light that could penetrate Qin Che's heart.

  This look made him feel ashamed and extremely embarrassed.

  Although Jiang Mu said it didn't matter.

  But her words pierced Qin Che's heart.

  She did this on purpose. Every word, every sentence, and even the look in her eyes made Qin Che feel guilty.

  Yeah, how could she not blame him.

  How could it not be his fault?

  All the youth and feelings that the original owner had invested were wasted. If Qin Che didn't love her, why would he agree to get married?

  Since you are married, why don't you touch her and instead used a cold violence against her for such a long time?

  The cruelest thing was that when she needed comfort and a sense of security, he said he was tired and wanted a divorce.

  What were you doing so far?

  Jiang Mu just wanted to make him regret, make him blame himself, and let him know that it was all his fault.

  "It's my fault, and I regret it now."

  Jiang Mu seemed not to hear it. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

  Her silence brought silent condemnation and invisible pressure to Qin Che.

  Qin Che himself felt that he was too cruel to Jiang Mu.

  He didn't seem to realize it at all before.

  Now think about it carefully, what he did wrong was more than what Jiang Mu said.

  He is... such a scumbag.

  "I don't hate you anymore."

  Qin Che was stunned.

  "Because I don't love you anymore, I've let it go, there's no place for you in my heart anymore. The day I let it go, I suddenly felt so relieved, really."

  Jiang Mu smiled. At this moment, a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face.

  But it hurt Qin Che's eyes.

  Did she really no longer love him?

  Qin Che looked at Jiang Mu. His heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces by these words. The cracks were like densely packed blood vessels with disordered branches. The wounds spread out and there was not a single part of his heart that was intact.

  Why does it hurts so much?

  Qin Che suddenly said this in his heart.
