Chapter 564: Husband's Jealousy and Anxiety
When Jiang Ciyou's husband saw the interaction between Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou, jealousy in his heart grew wildly like weeds. His eyes widened instantly, staring at Lu Jingchen intently, as if he wanted to eat him alive. His cheeks flushed slightly because of anger, and veins on his forehead bulged, showing the turbulent emotions that he was trying hard to suppress.
He held Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her hand bones, and his knuckles turned white from the force. He tried to assert his sovereignty, but his hands trembled slightly, and this uncontrollable tremor exposed his deep anxiety. He knew that his betrayal had created an insurmountable gap between him and Jiang Ciyou. Their relationship had long been shattered, and the appearance of Lu Jingchen undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to this shaky relationship.
He leaned close to Jiang Ciyou's ear and said in a low voice, "Stay away from him. I don't know what he wants to do, but I won't let him ruin our relationship." His voice was full of gnashing teeth, and the hot air he exhaled sprayed on Jiang Ciyou's ears, but she only felt annoyed. Jiang Ciyou frowned, and her heart was full of disgust at her husband's overbearing and unreasonable behavior. She gently broke free from her husband's hand, with obvious resistance in her movements, and said, "Don't do this. It's not good for anyone to make a scene here."
The husband's face turned ugly. He looked at Lu Jingchen with hostility in his eyes. All kinds of bad ideas emerged in his mind involuntarily. He knew that there was a rift between him and Jiang Ciyou, and the appearance of Lu Jingchen was undoubtedly worse. He began to worry that his status and wealth would be threatened by Lu Jingchen, and this worry made him lose his mind.
He recalled the past when he had abandoned Jiang Ciyou for that woman and went abroad. At that time, he was blinded by desire and thought that being with that woman would bring him more wealth and happiness. However, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Life abroad was not as smooth as he had imagined. The woman gradually revealed her greedy nature, constantly asking for his money and meddling in his life. When his wealth began to decrease due to various failed investments and the woman's extravagance, her attitude towards him became worse and worse, and she even began to have ambiguous relationships with other men.
During the time abroad, he was in a miserable situation. Not only did he have to deal with financial difficulties, but he also had to endure emotional betrayal. At this time, he heard that Jiang Ciyou's life in China seemed to have changed. She was no longer the weak woman who would only feel sad after being abandoned by him. Instead, she gradually became strong and independent, and had her own place in the business field. A complex emotion surged in his heart, with both surprise at Jiang Ciyou's change and regret for his original choice.
So, he decided to return to China and try to win back Jiang Ciyou. He thought that with their past relationship foundation, plus his apology and confession, Jiang Ciyou might forgive him and accept him again. But he never expected that the appearance of Lu Jingchen would completely disrupt his plan. He looked at Lu Jingchen's handsome appearance and Jiang Ciyou's complicated eyes when he looked at him, and the jealousy and uneasiness in his heart were like a burning flame, burning more and more.
He began to secretly think about how to deal with Lu Jingchen. He knew that he was at a disadvantage in this emotional contest, but he was unwilling to lose Jiang Ciyou and his current status and wealth. There was a sinister light flashing in his eyes. In order to achieve his goal, he had already used all means. He thought to himself that no matter what, he must not let Lu Jingchen succeed, even if he had to use some despicable means, to keep Jiang Ciyou by his side.
He continued to whisper in Jiang Ciyou's ear: "Don't forget, we haven't divorced yet, and you are still my wife. That man just wants to use you, don't be fooled by him." Jiang Ciyou felt even more annoyed after hearing his words. She responded coldly: "Do you think I will still believe you? When you left with that woman, did you ever think about our relationship? Now you come back only because you can't make it out there anymore, don't think I don't know."
The husband was speechless after hearing Jiang Ciyou's words. His face turned pale and he looked very embarrassed. But he still refused to give up. He said, "I know I was wrong and I regret it. I came back to make up for my mistakes. Give me a chance, okay?" Jiang Ciyou looked at his hypocritical appearance without any ripples in her heart. She turned her head away from him and looked at Lu Jingchen again.
At this time, Lu Jingchen was also looking at them, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his eyes. He seemed to see through Jiang Ciyou's husband's mind, and deliberately showed Jiang Ciyou a gentle smile. This smile was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Jiang Ciyou's husband's heart. Seeing this, the husband could no longer hold back his anger, he let go of Jiang Ciyou's hand and walked towards Lu Jingchen.
Jiang Ciyou was shocked. She quickly grabbed her husband and said, "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of losing face by making trouble here?" Her husband stopped walking, but his eyes were still staring at Lu Jingchen fiercely. He said, "Keep him away from you, otherwise I won't let him go." Jiang Ciyou sighed helplessly. She knew that her husband had lost his mind. In this situation, no matter what she said, it would be useless.
The guests around were surprised and curious when they saw this scene. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Jiang Ciyou and the others. Some guests began to whisper, speculating about their relationship and what happened. Jiang Ciyou felt extremely embarrassed. She wanted to leave this place immediately and escape from this embarrassing situation.
She looked at her husband's angry expression, then looked at Lu Jingchen's calm expression, and her heart was deeply entangled. She didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her. She didn't want to let Lu Jingchen laugh at her husband's unreasonable behavior, nor did she want to make things more complicated because of Lu Jingchen. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this farce would end as soon as possible.
However, things did not go as she wished. Her husband suddenly broke free from her hand and rushed towards Lu Jingchen. He waved his arms and tried to attack Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen slightly turned sideways and easily avoided his attack. Then he grabbed her husband's arm and pushed him gently, and her husband staggered back a few steps. This scene made the surrounding guests exclaim.
Seeing this, Jiang Ciyou hurried over and grabbed her husband. She said to Lu Jingchen, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, he drank too much today and behaved a little out of control." Lu Jingchen looked at her, smiled and said, "It's okay, Miss Jiang, I understand. But I hope you can handle your own affairs." Jiang Ciyou nodded, then took her husband out of the banquet hall.
On the way out, her husband kept complaining, "Why do you want to protect him? Have you fallen in love with him?" Jiang Ciyou was exhausted. She didn't want to argue with her husband anymore, so she just walked silently. She knew that the relationship between her and her husband was completely irreparable, and the situation between her and Lu Jingchen became more complicated and difficult to decide.
The author has something to say
In the creation of this chapter, I focused on the in-depth portrayal of the inner world and behavioral motivations of Jiang Ciyou's husband. Through the detailed description of his jealousy and his recollection of his experiences abroad to explain the reason why he returned to China to save his wife, the character image is made more three-dimensional and full. At the same time, the conflict between the husband and Lu Jingchen was added to further create a tense atmosphere and make the story more dramatic. I hope that such creation can make readers feel more deeply the complex emotional entanglements and conflicts between the characters, pave the way for the development of the subsequent story, and also hope that readers can immerse themselves more deeply in the plot of the whole story and feel the charm and tension of the story.
