Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou, wearing an elegant evening gown, walked into the birthday banquet of the richest man. The gown was made of deep sea blue satin, which shone softly under the light, like ripples on a quiet lake. The dress was tailored to fit her graceful figure perfectly, and every step she took seemed to be filled with an elegant rhythm. Her long hair was carefully coiled up, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair neck, adding a bit of charm and agility. However, her eyes were a little wandering, as if her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Her husband followed closely beside her, looking around with a flattering look on his face. He was wearing a brand new suit, and although the style was decent, his overly eager eyes and slightly raised mouth corners revealed his inner desire to make connections. His eyes shuttled through the crowd, not missing any opportunity to establish a relationship with the powerful, as if the entire venue was his hunting ground, and those powerful people were his dream prey.

Jiang Ciyou had long been accustomed to her husband's behavior, and just followed him silently through the crowd. She was not too enthusiastic about such occasions, and was just there to accompany her husband. People around were talking in groups of two or three, or toasting to celebrate, and the laughter and conversations intertwined to form a lively atmosphere. But this liveliness seemed to have nothing to do with Jiang Ciyou. She just walked mechanically with a faint smile on her face. That smile was more like a polite mask, covering up her inner boredom and helplessness.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into Jiang Ciyou's sight. Her eyes were instantly attracted to him, as if everything around her had stopped at this moment. She looked closely and found that it was Lu Jingchen. At this time, Lu Jingchen was wearing a well-cut black suit, a white shirt with an exquisite bow tie, which made him look particularly handsome. He had an upright figure and extraordinary temperament, which was completely different from the "pretty boy" she had known before. Although he had a handsome appearance in the past, he always had an unruly and casual look. Now, he has become more mature and stable, and his eyes reveal confidence and determination.

Lu Jingchen also saw Jiang Ciyou at the same moment, and his eyes lit up instantly, like a star that suddenly twinkled in the night sky. The light contained surprise, complexity, and a subtle emotion. He walked straight towards Jiang Ciyou without hesitation, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a hint of teasing: "Hey, isn't this Jiang Ciyou? Long time no see." His voice was low and magnetic, but it was particularly clear in this noisy venue, as if it was transmitted directly to Jiang Ciyou's heart.

Jiang Ciyou couldn't help but panic when she heard his voice. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She tried to calm herself down and responded in a panic: "Lu Jingchen, you... why are you here?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of surprise and confusion.

Lu Jingchen chuckled, and there seemed to be a hint of pride in his laughter: "Why can't I be here? You didn't expect that I am the son of the richest man." His words were concise and clear, but they exploded in Jiang Ciyou's heart like a heavy bomb. Jiang Ciyou was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her mouth opened slightly, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief. She never thought that the "little white face" who used to be by her side would have such an amazing identity.

Her husband also stared with wide eyes and turned pale. His eyes were full of fear and anxiety, as if he saw his own end coming. He stammered and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He could only stand there awkwardly, at a loss.

Jiang Ciyou's thoughts instantly went back to the past, and she recalled every little bit of her time with Lu Jingchen. At that time, although they did not have the status and position they have now, they had a simple and happy time. They spent many wonderful days together, laughing, crying, and making trouble together. However, those days have passed after all, and now they are standing in different positions, facing each other, with complicated emotions in their hearts.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's shocked expression, feeling both proud and bitter. He was proud that his current identity could surprise Jiang Ciyou, but the bitterness was because of their past. He once loved Jiang Ciyou deeply, but was abandoned by her. Now that they met again, his mood was extremely complicated, with both the joy of reunion and the resentment about the past.

He deliberately approached Jiang Ciyou and whispered, "How is it? Are you surprised? When you kept me as a gigolo, you didn't expect me to have this status." There was a hint of ridicule in his words, but more of an indescribable emotion. He wanted Jiang Ciyou to know that he was no longer the same person he used to be, and that he now had enough ability and status.

Jiang Ciyou's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. Her heart was filled with guilt and embarrassment. She remembered her attitude towards Lu Jingchen and felt a surge of regret. She knew that she had hurt him before, and now facing his teasing, she felt ashamed.

The 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 smile was stiff and forced, his eyes revealed flattery and fear. He hoped to ease the awkward atmosphere in this way, but at the same time he didn't want to offend Lu Jingchen, the son of the richest man.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Jiang Ciyou's husband and said with disdain: "You are the husband who abandoned her for the mistress? You are really promising." His words were full of sarcasm and disgust. He had no good feelings towards this man who had hurt Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou's husband was embarrassed and stammered, "That's all in the past. Now Ciyou and I are already..." He tried to defend himself, but found that his words were so pale and powerless. He knew that his past could not be erased, and now facing Lu Jingchen's questioning, he felt extremely ashamed.

Lu Jingchen interrupted him: "What already? Are we back together? Then when she sees me, her former gigolo, does she feel complicated?" His words hit Jiang Ciyou's heart directly, causing her heart to ache. She raised her head, looked at Lu Jingchen and said: "Lu Jingchen, let's let the past go, let's not talk about it anymore." Her eyes were full of helplessness and pleading, she hoped to end this embarrassing topic and get everything back on track.
