Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 541 Awkward Confrontation

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's surprised expression, feeling mixed emotions. The pride was like a child who had finally proved his extraordinaryness to an adult, but the bitterness was like a cup of strong coffee, spreading in his heart. He narrowed his eyes slightly, deliberately moved closer to 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, did you?"

The tone of his voice became increasingly sarcastic, mixed with a barely perceptible complaint, as if he was expressing the grievance of having been misunderstood.

Jiang Ciyou's face instantly became hot, as if it was burned by fire. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to burst out of her throat. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in and escape this embarrassing situation. She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt tightly, and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "I... I really didn't expect it." Her eyes revealed panic and helplessness, like a deer lost in the forest.

The husband stood by, his smile as stiff as a mask. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Haha, what a coincidence, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be the son of the richest man, I'm so sorry. What happened in the past is in the past, you are a magnanimous person, don't take it to heart." He tried to ease the tense atmosphere with laughter, but the laughter sounded particularly dry and forced.

Lu Jingchen glanced at Jiang Ciyou's husband, his eyes showing disdain. "You are the husband who abandoned her for the mistress, right? You are really promising." His words were like a sharp knife, stabbing directly at Jiang Ciyou's husband, and the mocking tone made the air seem to freeze.

Jiang Ciyou's husband was embarrassed, his face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue, like a palette. His lips trembled, and he stammered, "That's all in the past. Now Ciyou and I are..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Jingchen without any courtesy.

"What? Are we back together? Then does she feel complicated when she sees me, her former gigolo?" Lu Jingchen stared at Jiang Ciyou with a hint of provocation, as if he wanted to see through her heart. He unconsciously clenched his fists and leaned forward slightly, as if to announce his presence to Jiang Ciyou's husband.

Jiang Ciyou felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she was stabbed by a sharp needle. She raised her head, a trace of anger and helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Lu Jingchen and said, "Lu Jingchen, let the past be the past, and let's not talk about it anymore." Her voice trembled slightly, with a trace of fatigue and determination. She really didn't want to recall those painful past events. Those memories were like a knife, and every time she thought of them, they would cut a hole in her heart.

Lu Jingchen didn't seem to be going to give up. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. "The past? That's easy for you to say. Do you know how I've been through these years? What do you think of me? A toy that can be thrown away at will?" His voice rose a few degrees, and his eyes revealed a hint of anger and unwillingness.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lip, trying not to let the tears fall. "I was also heartbroken at the time, and I just wanted to find a way to vent. I didn't expect to cause you so much harm." Her voice was choked with sobs, and her body trembled slightly.

The husband watched the quarrel between the two and became more and more anxious and uneasy. He wiped his sweat again and tried to interrupt: "Mr. Lu, you see, this is all a misunderstanding. We are all living well now. Please don't pursue the past." His eyes were full of pleading, hoping that Lu Jingchen would let them go.

Lu Jingchen sneered: "Misunderstanding? You say that so easily. When you abandoned her, did you ever think about how she felt? Now that you see me back, are you scared?" His eyes were like torches, shooting straight at Jiang Ciyu's husband, making him dare not look directly at him.

Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Lu Jingchen, we have all grown up and can't keep living in the past. I just want to live a good life now, please let me go." Her eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination. She hoped that Lu Jingchen could understand that she no longer wanted to be entangled in the grudges of the past.

Lu Jingchen looked into Jiang Ciyou's eyes, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness and loss. He knew that no matter how much he dwelled on the past, he could not change the facts that had already happened. He sighed slightly and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I won't mention the past. But don't think I will let you go so easily." There was a hint of threat in his words, but a hint of reluctance was revealed in his eyes.

When Jiang Ciyou's husband heard this, his heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Mr. Lu, don't worry, we will never appear in front of you again. We will stay away from you." There was a hint of flattery and fear in his voice, as if he was begging for mercy from Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen looked at him with disdain and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? I just don't want to see you hurt her again." There was a hint of determination in his eyes. He decided to protect Jiang Ciyou and not let her suffer any harm again.

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, with mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't know whether she should be grateful to him or stay away from him. She said softly, "Lu Jingchen, thank you for your concern, but I have my own life now, and I hope you can respect my choice." Her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and determination. She hoped that Lu Jingchen could understand that she was no longer the girl who could be easily controlled by others.

Lu Jingchen was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, I respect your choice. But if he dares to bully you again, you must tell me." His eyes revealed a hint of concern and worry, he still couldn't completely let go of Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou nodded gently without saying anything. She was confused and didn't know how to face Lu Jingchen, nor did she know what would happen between them. She just hoped that this awkward conversation would end as soon as possible so that she could return to her peaceful life.

The husband breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took Jiang Ciyou's hand and said, "Let's go. Let's not disturb Mr. Lu here." His eyes were full of anxiety. He just wanted to leave this place that made him feel depressed and scared as soon as possible.

Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, then followed her husband away. She looked back at Lu Jingchen, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including helplessness, gratitude, and a hint of reluctance.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's departing back, and a sense of loss surged in his heart. He knew that the distance between him and Jiang Ciyou had been getting farther and farther, but he still couldn't control his feelings for her. He said to himself: "Jiang Ciyou, what do you want me to do so that you can come back to me?" His eyes revealed a trace of confusion and helplessness. He didn't know how he could win back Jiang Ciyou's heart.
