Chapter 2160: The Two Have Completely Broken It Off

~7 min read 1,351 words

Qingkong hurriedly grasped Jiang Mobai's arm and asked cautiously, "Did you meet with Su Kexuan?"

"Yes."

"She... didn't believe what you said?"

"She believed it."

"But she refuses to forgive you?"

A flash of pain crossed Jiang Mobai's lifeless face.

He said, "Regarding that matter, Su Kexuan has also let it go."

"Since that's the case..."

"But she doesn't like me."

After saying this, Jiang Mobai shook his head gently: "To say she doesn't like me isn't quite right; she, she hates me. My pursuit only makes her feel embarrassed, disgusted, and annoyed!"

The more Jiang Mobai spoke, the more dejected his expression became.

Jiang Baobao felt heartbroken watching him and advised, "You, you're overthinking things again; that's all just in your head."

"But I'm not a fool; I can feel her attitude from Su Kexuan's eyes!"

"But..."

"Alright, you don't need to busy yourselves anymore. I won't hold anyone accountable for the past. But from now on, please respect my choices."

Having said that, Jiang Mobai continued walking upstairs.

Jiang Baobao sighed, then looked up and said, "If you're feeling uncomfortable, don't bottle it up alone."

"Mm, I know. I'll be fine after a sleep."

As Jiang Mobai's voice trailed off, he walked back to his room with heavy steps.

Meanwhile, Qingkong and Jiang Baobao stood facing each other in silence.

Not long after, Xie Wanyi arrived in a hurry.

He should have arrived earlier.

But there were matters at the company, and he truly couldn't get away.

He had been busy until now, only just rushing over.

But...

Looking at the colorful debris on the floor, he asked, "Am I late?"

Qingkong shrugged and replied, "Not late, after all, it ended before it even began."

"Hm?"

Xie Wanyi did not understand what the other meant.

Qingkong then gave him a choice: "There are two pieces of news now, one good and one bad. Which one do you intend to hear first?"

"The good one, I suppose."

"The good news is that Mobai knows about our collaboration, but he won't blame us."

Mm, that was indeed good news.

However, looking at the suppressed expressions on Qingkong and Jiang Baobao, I'm afraid that...

Xie Wanyi took a deep breath unconsciously, then asked, "And the bad news?"

"The bad news is... Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan have completely broken it off."

This lighthearted remark from Qingkong made Xie Wanyi's assumption a reality.

Xie Wanyi sighed.

Afterwards, he murmured with emotion: "Matters of the heart cannot be forced."

Even so.

But...

Qingkong rubbed his hair, feeling that something was not right.

His gossip radar had always been sensitive.

So he could feel that Su Kexuan also liked Jiang Mobai.

Since the misunderstanding from back then had been cleared up, what else could be blocking the two of them?

Could it be that Jiang Mobai was too clumsy with his words, said the wrong thing, and made things backfire?

The questions in Qingkong's mind grew more numerous.

Unfortunately, apart from the parties involved, no one could provide an answer.

Thinking of the parties involved, Qingkong looked up toward the direction of Jiang Mobai's bedroom.

There, the door was tightly shut.

And the master of the room did not know how many days he would remain cooped up inside.

But what no one expected was that, the very next day, Jiang Mobai walked out from inside as if nothing had happened.

He was dressed appropriately.

He ate on time.

When he had time, he did his rehabilitation training.

Like this, except for not smiling, he was no different from his usual self.

Yet, this version of him made Jiang Baobao even more worried.

Two days passed like this, and Jiang Baobao took the initiative to ask him: "Do you want to go out and clear your head?"

"No, I've been very busy lately."

Busy?

For the past two days, Jiang Mobai has been going out for a while every day.

Jiang Baobao did not want Jiang Mobai to feel pressured, so she did not ask.

Now that Jiang Mobai brought it up himself, she took the opportunity to show concern: "What are you busy with? Do you need any help?"

"I'm busy with the acquisition of the racing team. If I can't handle it, I'll say so."

Jiang Baobao had also heard about the situation with their racing team.

But she had never thought that Jiang Mobai would develop the intention to acquire it.

This was a serious matter, and Jiang Baobao naturally wanted to support him, so she said a few words of encouragement.

Jiang Mobai responded to each one.

When he realized it was time to leave, Jiang Mobai said: "I have an appointment with Wang Zi today, I'm heading out."

"Then be careful on the road."

"Okay."

Jiang Mobai responded very politely.

His entire demeanor had also become steady and composed.

This was what Jiang Baobao had once hoped for.

But when Jiang Mobai truly became the person she had expected...

Jiang Baobao felt a strange bitterness in her heart instead.

She watched as Jiang Mobai left.

Then, she heaved a heavy sigh.

Sigh!

After leaving home, Jiang Mobai had the driver take him to the racing team.

Most of the people in the racing team had already left.

Very few remained.

At this moment, Wang Zi and the other three people who stayed behind were counting the remaining items in the racing team together.

But they were a step too late.

All the good things had been cleared out.

Even the award photos had been taken away.

One of them complained indignantly: "These guys, how could they not even spare a few photos!"

"They probably kept them as souvenirs."

"Souvenirs? If they really had that sentiment, they wouldn't have left! Hmph, a bunch of ungrateful, selfish ghosts!"

"Hey, stop complaining, they've already left."

"Even if they left, I'm still angry. One by one, they forgot the camaraderie of struggling together the moment they saw benefits!"

The more this person spoke, the more agitated they became.

In the end, they even let out a string of profanities.

Wang Zi frowned as he listened: "What's the point of saying all this now? It's better to just walk your own path!"

"I'm just angry, it's too ungrateful."

"People have their own aspirations; you can't force them."

The other person was silent for a while, then asked Wang Zi a question: "Can we really make a comeback in the future?"

"Of course, didn't you hear Mobai say it? He will take over this racing team."

"Mobai is indeed very impressive as a racer, but managing a racing team... can he do it?"

The other person's probing attitude made Wang Zi somewhat unhappy.

He knit his brows and said in a gruff voice: "If you don't trust Mobai, you can leave too!"

The racing driver who asked the question actually did want to leave.

But his skills were too poor, and he wouldn't be able to make the main roster at any other racing team.

Behind Jiang Mobai, there was at least the Li Family.

Even if things were bad, they wouldn't be that bad.

As for creating glory again...

No one dared to guarantee it.

Seeing that his words had caused Wang Zi's dissatisfaction, he quickly stated his position: "We have feelings for this place, we want to share the joys and sorrows with you all!"

"Then are you prepared to truly endure hardship?"

Hearing this voice, several people immediately looked toward the door.

They saw Jiang Mobai standing there against the light, his body standing straight.

As soon as he saw Jiang Mobai, Wang Zi revealed a smile.

He said excitedly: "Of course we are prepared!"

The racing driver who had just questioned Jiang Mobai also quickly said pleasant things: "Besides, with Mobai here, how hard could it possibly get for us?"

"That's where you're wrong. Right now, the team is short-handed, and everyone will have to take on multiple roles. Later on, everyone will have to participate in more competitions and earn points to be eligible to participate in next year's Wimbledon Championship."
