Chapter 567 People around are talking about
In the banquet hall, the dazzling crystal chandeliers cast their light, reflecting on the gorgeous clothes of each guest, sparkling. The men were dressed in suits and looked elegant, while the ladies were dressed in various evening gowns, competing for beauty. The air was filled with the aroma of food and a hint of perfume, and melodious music flowed in every corner like a gurgling stream. Couples danced gracefully on the dance floor, swaying their bodies. This should have been a feast full of luxury and elegance, but the subtle interaction between Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention, and triggering a silent but turbulent storm of public opinion.
"Who is that man? How come he is so close to Jiang Ciyou?" A young woman in a pink off-shoulder dress, holding a glass of champagne, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion, tilted her head slightly and asked her companion softly. Her companion was also an exquisitely dressed woman, wearing a sky blue fishtail skirt, and the sapphire earrings on her ears sparkled charmingly under the lights. She took a sip of champagne, her eyes swept back and forth between Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou, then leaned close to her companion's ear and whispered, "I don't know either. Judging from his aura, he is definitely not an ordinary person. But Jiang Ciyou is really a hot topic. Her husband's affairs were a hot topic before, and now this person has popped up."
"He looks like someone with a complicated appearance. Is there any new situation with Jiang Ciyou?" Not far away, several middle-aged men stood together. They were wearing custom-made high-end suits, and the brand names on their wrists showed their identity and status. One of them wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked quite elegant. He pushed his glasses with a hint of inquiry and playfulness in his eyes. Another slightly fat man with sleek hair laughed in a slightly loud voice: "You never know. Women, once they fall into the whirlpool of love, anything can happen. Jiang Ciyou was betrayed by her husband before, and now she may want to find a new support." A stern-faced man next to him frowned slightly and said, "Don't speculate here. Let's just wait and see."
"Her husband is right next to her. This is really a good show." In another corner of the banquet hall, several young rich second-generations were also discussing enthusiastically. They were wearing fashionable and flamboyant clothes, exuding an unruly and arrogant atmosphere. A man with dyed yellow hair and cool earrings had a playful smile on his face, and his eyes were full of gloating. A man next to him, wearing a white suit and a red bow tie, smiled and said, "This is more exciting than watching TV dramas. The grudges between wealthy families are always so attractive. I wonder what Jiang Ciyou's husband will do, will he swallow his anger or will he explode on the spot?" Everyone was talking, and the discussion was endless.
Jiang Ciyou stood there and heard the discussions clearly. Every word was like a sharp arrow, piercing her heart. Her face turned slightly pale, and her hands clenched unconsciously. Her nails dug deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain. She knew that her reputation in this circle had become fragile because of her husband's betrayal, like a leaf swaying in the wind and rain. Now that Lu Jingchen appeared, she was undoubtedly pushed to the forefront again, becoming the topic of conversation and entertainment for everyone after dinner.
She recalled that she was once an enviable socialite in this circle, with an impressive marriage and a seemingly bright future. However, the betrayal on the wedding night was like a nightmare, which completely changed the trajectory of her life. Since then, her life has been plunged into endless pain and struggle. She tried to retaliate and forget in her own way, but every effort was like groping in the dark, unable to find the direction, and instead made herself sink deeper and deeper.
At this moment, Jiang Ciyou was filled with endless regret. She regretted why she came to this banquet in the first place. If she hadn't come, she might not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation. She could continue to hide in her own world, licking her wounds silently, without having to face the piercing gazes and sarcastic comments. However, there is no if in life. Everything has already happened, and she can only bear all the consequences alone.
Jiang Ciyou raised her head, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and confusion. She looked at Lu Jingchen, he was still so handsome, with an upright posture, and his deep eyes seemed to hide countless secrets. She didn't know what he wanted to do, whether he really couldn't forget his old love for her, or had other purposes. Her husband, on the side, had a terribly gloomy face, his eyes were full of jealousy and anger, and his clenched fists seemed to be suppressing the anger that was about to explode.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Jiang Ciyou felt as if she was in a maze with no exit, unable to find the direction or see hope. She didn't know how to deal with this complicated situation, how to face Lu Jingchen and her husband, and even less how to survive in this environment full of public pressure. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that all this would end as soon as possible, even if it was only a temporary calm, it would be better than the torment at the moment.
