Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou and her husband walked into the birthday party of the richest man. She was wearing an elegant evening gown. It was a royal blue satin long dress. The slim design perfectly outlined her graceful figure. The hem of the dress swayed gently with her steps, like the shimmering surface of a lake. Her hair was tied into an exquisite bun, and a few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of charm. However, her eyes were a little detached, as if her thoughts had already drifted away.

The husband looked around with a flattering look on his face. He was wearing a black suit. Although it was well-cut, his slightly bloated figure made the suit less charming. His eyes were gleaming with greed and eagerness. He tried to find connections in the crowd, as if every person who passed by him was the key to his wealth and power.

Jiang Ciyou was bored following her husband through the crowd, feeling annoyed with this kind of occasion. She felt like a puppet, being led by her husband to wander in this hypocritical social scene. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view. She looked closely and found that it was Lu Jingchen. At this time, Lu Jingchen was wearing a well-tailored suit. It was a dark gray high-end custom-made suit with a superior fabric texture. Every detail was handled just right, highlighting his broad shoulders and tall figure. His tie was a dark blue silk tie, dotted with delicate silver patterns, which complemented his suit and made him look more extraordinary. His hair was neatly combed, revealing a smooth forehead, and his eyes were deep and bright, completely different from the image of the "pretty boy" she once knew.

Lu Jingchen also saw Jiang Ciyou, and his eyes lit up instantly, like the stars that suddenly twinkled in the night sky. But then a complex emotion flashed across his face, which included surprise, anger, longing, and a subtle bitterness. He walked straight towards Jiang Ciyou, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said in a teasing tone: "Hey, isn't this Jiang Ciyou? Long time no see." His voice was low and magnetic, and it was particularly clear in this noisy banquet.

Jiang Ciyou responded in a panic: "Lu Jingchen, you... why are you here?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. Her hands unconsciously clenched the bag in her hands, as if this could give her some sense of security.

Lu Jingchen chuckled: "Why can't I be here? You didn't expect that I'm the son of the richest man." There was a hint of pride in his words, and at the same time, there was a hint of resentment towards Jiang Ciyou. He raised his chin slightly, and his eyes revealed a kind of confidence and pride.

Jiang Ciyou was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her mouth opened slightly and her eyes widened, as if she had heard a fairy tale. Her husband also widened his eyes and turned pale. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. After a long while, the husband stammered, "Haha, what a coincidence, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be the son of the richest man, how disrespectful." He squeezed out an awkward smile on his face, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Jiang Ciyou's husband and said disdainfully: "You are her husband who abandoned her for the mistress? You are really promising." His eyes were full of disgust and ridicule, as if he was looking at an insignificant clown.

Jiang Ciyou's husband was embarrassed and stammered, "That's all in the past. Now Ciyou and I are..." He tried to explain but didn't know how to continue.

Lu Jingchen interrupted him: "Already what? Are you back together? Then does she feel complicated when she sees me, her former gigolo?" There was a hint of provocation in his words, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ciyou.

After hearing this, Jiang Ciyou felt a sharp pain in her heart. She raised her head, looked at Lu Jingchen and said, "Lu Jingchen, let the past be the past, and let's not mention it again." Her eyes revealed a kind of helplessness and fatigue. She really didn't want to recall those painful past events again.

Looking at Jiang Ciyou's surprised expression, Lu Jingchen felt a little proud and a little bitter. He deliberately approached Jiang Ciyou and whispered, "How about it? Are you surprised? When you kept me as a gigolo, you didn't expect me to have this identity." His breath gently brushed Jiang Ciyou's cheek, causing her heart to beat faster again.

Jiang Ciyou's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. She remembered that she had only regarded Lu Jingchen as a kind of comfort, a way to escape reality, but never really understood him. Her husband smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over: "Haha, what a coincidence, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be the son of the richest man, how disrespectful." His laughter sounded a little dry, and his eyes revealed a sense of uneasiness.

Lu Jingchen shrugged: "Me? Do you think I'm not living well now?" The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. His eyes swept around the banquet, as if showing Jiang Ciyou his current status and life.

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, and a ripple appeared in her heart. She recalled every moment she had spent with Lu Jingchen, and those wonderful times seemed to be just yesterday. They watched the sunrise together at the beach, and the sun shone on them, warm and beautiful; they walked in the rain together, and the rain soaked their clothes, but they smiled so happily. But now, the identities of the two have changed so much that she feels a little overwhelmed.

Lu Jingchen seemed to see what Jiang Ciyou was thinking. He smiled and said, "No matter what, it's fate that we can meet again here." There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, which made Jiang Ciyou's heart move slightly. Jiang Ciyou nodded gently without saying anything. She didn't know what to say, and her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.

Jiang Ciyou's husband watched the interaction between the two, and his heart was filled with worry. He was afraid that Lu Jingchen would snatch Jiang Ciyou away, and he was even more afraid that he would lose everything he had now because of offending Lu Jingchen. He quietly pulled the corner of Jiang Ciyou's clothes and whispered, "Ciyou, let's go, don't chat with him here." There was a hint of urgency and nervousness in his voice.

Jiang Ciyou glanced at her husband, a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should stay or leave. She still had a little attachment to Lu Jingchen in her heart, but she didn't want to embarrass her husband. Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "Why, are you so afraid of me? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just chatting with Jiang Ciyou." There was a hint of ridicule in his words, but his eyes revealed a kind of determination.

The husband smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that we have other things to do." He looked around, trying to find an excuse to leave.

Lu Jingchen sneered, "Other things? I think you are guilty. But it doesn't matter, you can go if you want, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future anyway." There was a hint of threat in his words, which made Jiang Ciyou's husband feel nervous. Jiang Ciyou felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Lu Jingchen said, but she still followed her husband away. Her heart was full of helplessness and reluctance. She knew that this departure might widen the distance between her and Lu Jingchen again.

Watching Jiang Ciyou and her husband leave, Lu Jingchen felt a sense of loss. He knew that he still hadn't let go of Jiang Ciyou, even though she had abandoned him before. He thought of the days they were together, Jiang Ciyou's smile, her gentleness, her kindness, all of which were deeply imprinted in his heart. He decided to find a chance to have a good talk with Jiang Ciyou and let her know his feelings.

So, he began to look for Jiang Ciyou at the banquet. Whenever he saw Jiang Ciyou talking to others, a trace of jealousy would surge in his heart. He kept asking himself in his heart, why did he still care about her so much? She had obviously hurt him once. He saw Jiang Ciyou chatting happily with a middle-aged man with a flattering smile on his face, and his heart felt as if it was burning on fire. He walked over, deliberately interrupted their conversation, and said to Jiang Ciyou: "Jiang Ciyou, let's chat." Jiang Ciyou looked at him in surprise, wondering what he was going to do. The middle-aged man saw Lu Jingchen and left tactfully.

After a while, Jiang Ciyou went to the balcony alone to get some fresh air. She stood on the balcony, looking at the night view in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She thought of her past, her marriage with her husband, and her relationship with Lu Jingchen. She didn't know where to go. When Lu Jingchen saw her, he immediately followed her. He walked to Jiang Ciyou and whispered, "We meet again. We are really destined to meet." There was a hint of surprise in his voice, as if their meeting was destined.

Jiang Ciyou was startled by Lu Jingchen's sudden appearance. She calmed herself down and said, "Why are you here too?" There was a hint of vigilance in her eyes. She didn't know why Lu Jingchen always followed her.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou and said seriously, "I want to talk to you alone. There are some things I have always wanted to say to you." There was a sincerity in his eyes that moved Jiang Ciyou's heart.

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen nervously and said, "What do you want to say?" Her heartbeat quickened again. She didn't know what Lu Jingchen would say.

Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Ciyou, I know we have had a lot of unpleasant past, but my feelings for you are real. I fell in love with you from the first time we met. Although you once kept me as a gigolo, I don't care because I can feel your inner pain and loneliness. I want to take care of you and make you happy." His words were full of affection, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ciyou, as if he wanted to convey his feelings to her.

Jiang Ciyou was deeply moved after hearing what Lu Jingchen said. She recalled the days she spent with Lu Jingchen. He always treated her so gently and always showed up when she needed him the most. But at the same time, she was also very conflicted. She didn't know if she could still trust Lu Jingchen, after all, there had been so many ups and downs between them. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then said, "Lu Jingchen, I'm very grateful that you said these words to me, but we can't go back. I have my own life now, my husband..." There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in her voice. She knew that she no longer had love for her husband, but she felt that she couldn't give up her current life easily.

Lu Jingchen interrupted her: "Do you really love your husband? Or are you just with him because of responsibility and obligation? You can deceive others but not your own heart." There was a hint of urgency in his words. He hoped that Jiang Ciyu could face up to his feelings.

Jiang Ciyou was hit in the heart by Lu Jingchen's words, and her eyes were slightly moist. She knew that she no longer had love for her husband, and was only with him out of habit and helplessness. But she was afraid of being hurt again, and did not dare to accept Lu Jingchen's feelings easily. She raised her head, looked at Lu Jingchen and said, "Lu Jingchen, I know you are good to me, but I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid of being hurt again, and I can't stand any more." There was a hint of crying in her voice, which made Lu Jingchen feel distressed.

While Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen were talking on the balcony, other people at the banquet were also secretly watching them. When Jiang Ciyou's husband saw Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou alone together, he was filled with jealousy and anger. He felt that Lu Jingchen was deliberately provoking him, and he could not tolerate Lu Jingchen treating him and Jiang Ciyou like this. He began to ask around about Lu Jingchen's situation, trying to find a way to deal with him. He found someone who had business dealings with Lu Jingchen, and that person told him that although Lu Jingchen was the son of the richest man, he was not a person who relied on family power to make a living. He himself was also very capable and had many ideas and achievements of his own in business. After hearing this, the husband felt even more uneasy. He felt that compared with Lu Jingchen, he was simply an insignificant little person.

Some other guests were discussing the matter. They were curious about the relationship between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen. Some thought that Jiang Ciyou was with Lu Jingchen for money. After all, Lu Jingchen was the son of the richest man and had great wealth and power. Others thought that there might be real feelings between them, and some clues could be seen from their eyes and interactions. At this banquet full of interests and desires, everyone had their own thoughts and purposes. A woman in a gorgeous dress said to her friend, "Look at Jiang Ciyou. She must not have known Lu Jingchen's identity before. Now that she knows, she must want to be with him again." Her friend said, "Maybe there is really love between them. Look at the way Lu Jingchen looks at Jiang Ciyou. It's full of love."

Seeing Jiang Ciyou's hesitation and entanglement, Lu Jingchen felt a little anxious. He decided to take some actions to let Jiang Ciyou see his heart clearly. So, he deliberately acted very intimate with other women at the banquet, looking at Jiang Ciyou from time to time to observe her reaction. He danced with a beautiful female star who had a hot body and a charming smile. He deliberately talked and laughed with the female star, but his eyes kept drifting to Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou felt uncomfortable when she saw Lu Jingchen with other women. She felt as if something was blocking her heart, and she began to realize that she still cared about Lu Jingchen. But she didn't want to reveal her feelings easily, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened. She chatted with a female guest next to her, but her eyes kept looking at Lu Jingchen from time to time.

Seeing Jiang Ciyou's reaction, Lu Jingchen was secretly pleased with himself. He knew that his plan had begun to work. He decided to add fuel to the fire, so he walked up to Jiang Ciyou and said with a deliberate smile: "My beautiful lady, you are so beautiful tonight. I wonder if I would have the honor to ask you to dance with me?" As he said that, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of provocation.

Jiang Ciyou was angered by Lu Jingchen's behavior. She glared at Lu Jingchen and said, "If you want to dance, find someone else. I'm not interested." There was a hint of anger in her voice. She felt that Lu Jingchen was deliberately humiliating her.

Lu Jingchen refused to give in. He approached Jiang Ciyou and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you angry? Are you jealous?" There was a sly smile on his lips and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou's face turned red all of a sudden, and she quickly denied: "Don't be so conceited, I'm not jealous. I just don't want to dance with someone like you." Her heart was beating fast, and she felt her face was as hot as fire.

Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "Okay, since you don't want to dance with me, I'll go find someone else. But don't regret it." After that, he turned and left, leaving Jiang Ciyou alone to sulk. She looked at Lu Jingchen's back, her heart full of contradictions and entanglements. She didn't know what to do, and her feelings for Lu Jingchen became more and more complicated.

Jiang Ciyou's husband was furious when he saw the interaction between Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou. He felt that Lu Jingchen was deliberately humiliating him, and Jiang Ciyou's reaction also made him very dissatisfied. He decided to find an opportunity to confront Lu Jingchen and ask him to stay away from Jiang Ciyou.

So, he took advantage of the time when Lu Jingchen was drinking alone in the corner and walked over.
