“I didn’t…” He murmured.
“Whether you have or not has nothing to do with me, because you as a person have nothing to do with me. Yuan Mingxu, I came here today to tell you to leave X City. I remember you said before that your hometown is not here but in L city, then go back there and never appear in front of us again.”
“I don’t agree, why should I leave? My career is here, my friends are here, I don’t want to leave.”
“Your career?” Jiang Mochen smiled, “You may be starting a new career. Didn’t your agent tell you that you were hidden? As far as I know, you and your agency have a contract for five more years, right? During these five years, they will not give you any resources, and you will not attend any events. Even the most common things like posting on Weibo and doing live broadcasts, you can’t do it because the contract does not allow it. Five years from now, generations of talented people would have come out of the country, and a new generation would replace the old ones. Who knows whether everyone will still remember you, but it doesn’t matter, even if they remember you, it doesn’t matter, because no company will dare to sign you. I promise you, there will be no brokerage company who will dare to sign you.”
“You blocked me? Why did you block me? What qualifications do you have to block me!”
“You know my surname is Jiang, and you also know what Jiang represents, right? There is no entertainment company that will go against the Jiang Group for an artist who can be easily replaced? Or do you think that you are more valuable than the entire Jiang Group?”
Yuan Mingxu couldn’t believe it. Looking at the person in front of him, he just felt that he was so strange, “How can you do this? How can you do this? I understand you don’t like me anymore, but why are you taking away my career, why are you forcing me!”
“Me forcing you?” Jiang Mochen chuckled, “When have I ever forced you? When you didn’t like me, I didn’t force you to like me. You kept pestering me after returning to China, and I didn’t do anything to you, right? Even what you said your career is only possible because of my support, me and Yan Qingchi, weren’t we tolerant of you? But just a few days later you hired someone to beat him, even when he thought that something had really happened to you, so he specifically asked Wei Lan to check it out. But what did you do? It was you who pushed us to this point, wasn’t it?”
Thinking about it, he thought Jiang Mochen would turn a blind eye to his text message, but he didn’t expect that they still took it seriously and even asked Wei Lan to help check it. “I don’t know, but I was also angry for a moment. I thought you were ignoring me. Zhou Yixing and I had a fight. I was afraid that he would do something. I wanted you to help me. I knew if this had happened before, you would surely help me. It’s all because of him that you treat me like this. That’s why I hated him and wanted to teach him a lesson. Can you forgive me? There’s no way I would do something like this in the future.”
“Your admission of mistake is really valuable. If you say you are wrong, everything can be written off?”
“Then nothing happened to him, right? It’s me, not him, who is lying in the hospital now!”
Jiang Mochen’s expression suddenly turned cold, “You should be glad that you are in the hospital now and not him. You should be glad that nothing happened to him. Otherwise, you would not be in the hospital now, but in prison. Yuan Mingxu, what are you doing? You have the nerve to say this, why are you so brave, I am so cautious, so worried about him, for fear that something will happen to him, but you were good enough to just call someone to beat him, you are really good, if I am still standing here and talking to you, then the upbringing I have received since childhood has restrained my anger. Otherwise, do you think you can still stay here well? You would have gone in long ago!”
Yuan Mingxu was stunned when he heard this.
Jiang Mochen looked directly at him, “You don’t want to leave City X?”
Yuan Mingxu: “Injuring someone is not a capital crime. Even if I kill someone, I will only be sentenced to a few years or more. Yan Qingchi is fine now and has no injuries at all. How long can I be sentenced to if you call the police?”
Jiang Mochen: “Looking at you, I just feel that I was probably blind at that time, so I fell in love with such a person.”
“Have you forgotten, I said, my surname is Jiang, and as long as I am willing, you can stay in it for the rest of your life. Yuan Mingxu, I really don’t like to use our family’s power to oppress others, but this doesn’t mean that I don’t have this power, and it doesn’t mean that I won’t use it.”
Yuan Mingxu was instantly afraid. Jiang Mochen took out his mobile phone and lost all his sanity, “I’m leaving! I’m leaving here, I’m leaving here! Now you must be satisfied!”
Yuan Mingxu looked at him with tears in his eyes, “Rich people of your class are all like this. When they love someone, they treat them as a treasure. When they don’t love, the other person is not even like a blade of grass, but a mole that you can trample on at will! If you say you will ruin my career, then you will ruin it! If you want me to leave, I have to leave. But Jiang Mochen, you also loved me, and you cherished me as much as you cherish him now!”
Yuan Mingxu smiled and shed tears which flowed down his cheek, “Then when you fall in love with someone else, I became nothing. If you can do this to me now, you will do this to him one day. It’s the seven-year itch, I’m waiting to see if you can love him for seven years.”
Jiang Mochen put the phone back, “Then you really think too highly of yourself.” He said coldly, “How can you be qualified to be compared to him?”
Yuan Mingxu smiled, “Of course I don’t have it now, because you don’t love me anymore, but one day, he won’t be qualified to compare with another person, because you will do the same to him, and after you don’t love him anymore, you will deny him.”
“You think too much.” Jiang Mochen looked at the disdainful smile on his face, “I have never denied the fact that I liked you, even if I don’t want to admit it now since I regret it. But I actually liked you, and I have never denied it, so I understand the difference between you and him. Yuan Mingxu, you are wrong. Do you think I like you both equally?”
He shook his head, “No, never. I have never liked you as much as I like him, and I have never cherished you as much as I cherish him. When you left me on a plane to pursue Zhou Yixing, I only told myself that I should give up on you. I won’t chase you. But if one day he leaves me, I will chase him and chase him back at all costs, because I can’t allow him to be with others. If people’s temptations can be divided into three, six and nine, then you are three, you gave me the first feeling of my heart beating, and he is ten, as he gave me everything that makes my heart beat. So, you can wait for us, no matter how long it takes, whether it is seven years or seventy years, I won’t treat him like I did you, because I love him, and I can always give in to him.”
Yuan Mingxu stopped talking. He looked at Jiang Mochen, he didn’t believe it, he didn’t believe Jiang Mochen’s nonsense, but he couldn’t stop it. He was so sad that he only felt that there was nothing greater than sadness.
“I left two people to take care of you. When you can walk around, leave here and don’t appear in front of us again. You also know that you are nothing in my eyes now, so don’t think that I just said this. That’s all. If you think it doesn’t matter if you spend the rest of your life in prison, then come back. If you don’t care, then I certainly won’t care.”
“You want to keep me captive? Illegal detention?”
“I said, you are thinking too much. You are not worthy of me wandering on the edge of the law. I just want to help you when you leave. Otherwise, your injury will not heal in three to five months. How can you still stay here??”
Yuan Mingxu smiled and felt as if his whole body was immersed in cold water. It was biting cold. What else could he say? What else could he do? He just looked at Jiang Mochen with a smile, feeling that people’s hearts were really scary. When they love you, everything is good in you. If they don’t love you anymore, even your death will have nothing to do with him.
Jiang Mochen finished saying what he wanted to say and had no intention of talking to him anymore. He turned around and left the ward, saying to the two people outside the door, “Watch him.”
“Yes, Master.” The two people said respectfully.
Yuan Mingxu sat on the hospital bed. Then after a long time, he slowly started laughing. The more he laughed, the louder he laughed, until finally, the cries came. He covered his face with his hands and buried it in his palm, whimpering until he began to cry. The sound was getting louder and louder, more and more heartbreaking, mixed with unwillingness and pain, which made people feel sad, but it was of no avail.
Yuan Mingxu left two weeks later. It was still very cold and the temperature had not yet risen. Only the sunshine brought a touch of warmth to the cold. His legs were not fully recovered yet. He was wearing plasters and many parts of his body still hurt when touched. However, he could already get off the ground on crutches, so Jiang Mochen’s subordinates took him out of the hospital.
They returned to L City, Yuan Mingxu’s former hometown. Yuan Mingxu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar city in front of him without any sense of belonging. He really hadn’t been back for a long time. He hadn’t been back since he went to college. He didn’t have any rich feelings for this place. And because he was forced to return here, he even unconsciously developed a dislike for this place.
Jiang Mochen’s subordinates sent him back to his former home here, but now, he was the only one left in this home.
“Master Yuan, let’s go then. I hope you will remember what Master Yu said and live here well.”
Yuan Mingxu watched them close the door and leave, looking around the house where he grew up as a child. He had never thought that one day he would come back, or that he would come back in such a dejected and pitiful state. He was not willing to accept it. How could he be willing to accept it? But what if he didn’t give in? His agent had sent him a WeChat message, saying that he had offended someone he shouldn’t have offended, and the company couldn’t afford it, so it could only hide him.
Yuan Mingxu felt hopeless, but there was nothing he could do. He didn’t even dare to take any drastic action to retaliate against Jiang Mochen at this time. Only then did he finally realize that no matter how gentle and good-tempered Jiang Mochen usually was, he was still different from him. He was not an ordinary person like him, he even had greater power than Zhou Yixing, but he had never used the power behind him, so he forgot that Jiang Mochen’s surname was Jiang, Jiang from the Jiang Group.
He sat down against the shoe cabinet sadly, praying hopelessly with sadness in his heart, who could help him, who could help him…
