Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 550 Husband's Anger

When Jiang Ciyou's husband saw the interaction between Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou, the scene was like a red-hot iron, burning his heart fiercely. The anger in his chest erupted like a volcano, quickly spreading to every nerve in his body, reaching its peak. He felt like he was stripped naked in public, his dignity was ruthlessly trampled underfoot, and every look and every word from Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou were like sharp knives, stabbing his fragile and sensitive self-esteem.

His eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he stared at Lu Jingchen fiercely like an enraged bull. He unconsciously clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white because of the force, as if he wanted to concentrate all his anger on this clenched fist. He suddenly pushed away the crowd around him and strode towards the corner where Lu Jingchen was. Every step was filled with anger, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

He walked up to Lu Jingchen and stopped. His fierce eyes shot towards Lu Jingchen as if it were real. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Jingchen, I warn you, stay away from Jiang Ciyou. She is my wife, don't even think about taking advantage of her." His voice was so loud that it echoed in the banquet hall like a huge bell. The originally lively banquet scene seemed to be paused. People around him looked sideways, their eyes full of curiosity, surprise and anticipation for a good show.

Lu Jingchen only raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sneer of disdain on his lips. He looked at Jiang Ciyu's husband as if he was watching a clown show, and the disgust in his eyes was not concealed. He slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and the movement was elegant and calm, which formed a sharp contrast with the husband opposite who was angry to the point of being almost out of control. He spoke softly, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone: "Do you think you can protect her? How did you treat her in the first place? What qualifications do you have to say such things?" His words were like sharp swords, accurately piercing the scar deep in the husband's heart that he was most reluctant to be mentioned.

Jiang Ciyou's husband looked like he was slapped hard in the face, his face turning pale and blue. He opened his mouth to retort, but found that his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't say a word. The scenes of Jiang Ciyou's betrayal flashed through his mind like slides, his ruthless departure on the wedding night, the sweet scenes with his mistress, every moment seemed like a mockery of his present.

People around began to whisper, their eyes shuttled back and forth between her husband, Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou, guessing the complicated relationship between the three. Someone whispered: "This is really a good show, it seems that there are many stories between these people." Another person echoed: "Yes, this man looks really embarrassed, and I don't know what he did at the beginning." These discussions were like ants, gnawing at the husband's remaining sanity bit by bit.

The husband's face became more and more ugly, and he felt that his dignity had been crushed to pieces. In anger, he could no longer control his emotions, raised his fist, and swung it at Lu Jingchen with all his strength. The fist was accompanied by a whistling sound, as if to vent all the anger and unwillingness in this blow.

However, Lu Jingchen seemed to have expected it, and he slightly turned his body to easily avoid the fierce punch. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "You'd better not be impulsive. This is the birthday party of the richest man. If you make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous." His voice was low and cold, like the cold wind in winter, blowing straight into the husband's heart, instantly cooling his boiling blood.

The husband's fist stopped in mid-air, and his body leaned forward slightly due to inertia, which made him look a little funny. His eyes were wide open, full of resentment and anger, but he didn't dare to take any further action because of Lu Jingchen's words. His chest rose and fell violently, like a trapped beast, struggling in anger and helplessness.

At this time, many people had gathered around, and they were all watching this scene quietly, and no one dared to speak easily. The air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, as if a spark would cause a big explosion.

The husband gritted his teeth and said to Lu Jingchen in a low voice: "Don't be too proud, this matter is not over yet." His eyes were full of threats, but in Lu Jingchen's view, this was just the last struggle of an incompetent person.

Lu Jingchen sneered: "Hmph, I'll wait. But you'd better think about how stupid your behavior is now." After that, he ignored her husband, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine, as if nothing had happened just now, but his eyes drifted in the direction of Jiang Ciyu intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Ciyou stood not far away and witnessed all this. Her mood was very complicated. Seeing her husband's loss of control and Lu Jingchen's calmness, she didn't know what to do. She felt a little guilty towards her husband. After all, they had a relationship before, although this relationship had been destroyed by her husband's betrayal. But at the same time, she had an indescribable feeling for Lu Jingchen. This feeling made her feel heartbroken when she saw Lu Jingchen being intimate with other women, and it made her heart beat when Lu Jingchen stood up for her.

The people around began to disperse gradually, and the banquet seemed to have returned to its previous liveliness, but Jiang Ciyou knew that everything was different. Her husband walked up to her and said gloomily, "Let's go." Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, but still followed her husband away. She could feel the low pressure coming from her husband, and she knew that they needed to have a good talk, but she really didn't feel like it now.

After returning home, the husband slammed the door and yelled at Jiang Ciyou: "What's going on between you and that Lu Jingchen? Can't you forget him?" Jiang Ciyou frowned and said tiredly: "There's nothing between him and me, don't be unreasonable." The husband sneered: "Being unreasonable? I saw you flirting at the party, and you still want to lie to me?" Jiang Ciyou said angrily: "I didn't lie to you, I just said a few words to him. On the contrary, you were so impulsive at the party, do you know that you almost caused a big disaster?"

The husband seemed to be awakened by Jiang Ciyou's words and fell silent. After a while, he slowly said: "I know I was a little impulsive today, but I really can't stand him treating you like that. You are my wife, and I don't want to lose you." Jiang Ciyou looked at her husband, feeling a little emotional. She knew that her husband cared about her, but once something was broken, it would be difficult to repair it. She said: "There is no going back between us. Your betrayal hurt me too much. I am still with you now only because of the memories we had, but that doesn't mean I can forget everything you did to me."

A trace of pain flashed in the husband's eyes. He walked to Jiang Ciyou and wanted to hug her, but Jiang Ciyou dodged him. He said helplessly: "I know I was wrong. I will spend my whole life to make up for my mistakes. Can you give me another chance?" Jiang Ciyou shook her head: "Some things cannot be solved by just saying sorry. We all need time to calm down." After that, she turned and walked into her room, leaving her husband alone in the living room in a daze.

The husband sat on the sofa, holding his head in his hands, and fell into deep self-blame and pain. He knew how foolish his decision was. For a momentary desire, he lost the most important person in his life. He began to recall every bit of his time with Jiang Ciyou. Those good times were like knives that pierced his heart. He secretly vowed to win back Jiang Ciyou's heart, no matter what the cost.

On the other hand, Lu Jingchen couldn't calm down after returning home. His mind was full of Jiang Ciyou's figure. Every expression and every word she said at the banquet was deeply imprinted in his mind. He knew that Jiang Ciyou had feelings for him, but she was bound by the hurt in the past and didn't dare to accept him easily. He decided to work harder to pursue Jiang Ciyou and make her believe in his sincerity.

The next day, Jiang Ciyou received an invitation for business cooperation, and the other party hoped that she could participate in an important project. Jiang Ciyou was very interested in this project, and she began to prepare relevant materials carefully. During the preparation process, she found that this project had a certain connection with the family business where Lu Jingchen worked. She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to accept the invitation. If she accepted it, she would inevitably have more contact with Lu Jingchen, but if she refused, it would be a big loss for her career.

Just when she was hesitating, her husband came in. He saw Jiang Ciyou was worried about the project and asked her what was wrong. Jiang Ciyou told him the situation. Her husband thought for a while and said, "I think you should accept this project. It's a good opportunity. As for Lu Jingchen, we can try to avoid contact with him." Jiang Ciyou looked at her husband in surprise. She didn't expect her husband to say that. Her husband smiled and said, "I know you value your career very much. I don't want you to lose this opportunity because of me. Besides, I believe our relationship can stand the test."

Jiang Ciyou nodded, and she decided to accept the invitation. In the following days, she devoted herself to the preparations for the project. However, fate always seemed to like to play tricks on people. At the first meeting of the project, she met Lu Jingchen again. Lu Jingchen was also surprised to see Jiang Ciyou, but he quickly regained his composure. He walked up to Jiang Ciyou and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, it seems that we are going to work together again." Jiang Ciyou smiled awkwardly: "Yes, what a coincidence."

After the meeting started, everyone began to discuss the details of the project. Lu Jingchen performed very well in the meeting. He put forward many constructive suggestions, which made everyone present look at him with admiration. Jiang Ciyou also had to admit that Lu Jingchen was really capable. During the meeting, Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness and encouragement. Jiang Ciyou tried her best not to pay attention to his eyes, but her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After the meeting, Lu Jingchen walked up to Jiang Ciyou and said, "You performed very well today." Jiang Ciyou smiled: "Thank you, you are very good too." Lu Jingchen looked at her, his eyes became serious: "I hope we can work well together and complete this project." Jiang Ciyou nodded: "Well, I hope so too." At this moment, Jiang Ciyou's husband suddenly walked in. When he saw Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou together, his face suddenly became ugly.

The husband walked to Jiang Ciyou and said to Lu Jingchen, "I hope you can keep your promise and not disturb Ciyou when she is working." Lu Jingchen raised his eyebrows: "I'm just discussing work with her, you don't have to be so nervous." The husband snorted: "That's better, otherwise I won't let you go." Lu Jingchen sneered: "Then you can try it." The atmosphere between the two became tense again. Jiang Ciyou was caught in the middle and felt a headache.

She quickly said to her husband, "Let's go, don't argue here." The husband looked at her, nodded, and followed her away. After returning home, the husband said to Jiang Ciyou, "I don't want you to have too much contact with him anymore. I'm really worried." Jiang Ciyou said helplessly, "I know you're worried, but we are at work, and I can't let personal reasons affect my work." The husband was silent for a while and said, "I know, but I just can't help but worry. You don't know the way he looks at you, there are emotions in it that I have never seen before." Jiang Ciyou sighed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to do this project well now."

In the days that followed, Jiang Ciyou tried to maintain a balance between her husband and Lu Jingchen. She and Lu Jingchen cooperated more and more tacitly at work, but this also caused dissatisfaction from her husband. Her husband began to frequently appear at Jiang Ciyou's workplace, trying to prevent her from contacting Lu Jingchen. This made Jiang Ciyou feel very troubled, and her work and life were greatly affected.

Once, at a critical stage of the project, the husband came to Jiang Ciyou's office again. He saw Lu Jingchen there and was immediately furious. He rushed up and punched Lu Jingchen. This time Lu Jingchen did not dodge and his mouth was bleeding. Jiang Ciyou saw this and shouted, "Stop fighting!" She rushed between the two of them, her eyes full of anger and helplessness.

The husband looked at Jiang Ciyou and said with some regret: "Ciyou, I... I was just too angry." Jiang Ciyou said coldly: "You will only make things worse. We are working now, don't mess up again." The husband lowered his head, he knew that he really went too far this time. Lu Jingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Jiang Ciyou and said: "Are you okay?" Jiang Ciyou shook his head: "I'm fine, you go and treat the wound first."

After this incident, the relationship between Jiang Ciyou and her husband became more tense. Her husband realized that his behavior had seriously affected Jiang Ciyou's work and life, and he began to reflect on his behavior. Jiang Ciyou fell into a deeper tangle. She didn't know how to deal with the relationship between her husband and Lu Jingchen. She felt that her life was like a mess and she couldn't find a clue.

In the follow-up work of the project, Jiang Ciyou tried to avoid contact with her husband and Lu Jingchen at the same time. She put all her energy into work, hoping to relieve her stress through work. With her efforts, the project progressed very smoothly and received high praise from all parties. But deep in her heart, she knew that the problems between her and her husband and Lu Jingchen must be solved, but she didn't know where to start.

As the project drew to a close, Jiang Ciyou's mood became more complicated. She didn't know what would happen between her and Lu Jingchen after the project ended, nor did she know whether her relationship with her husband could be saved. She often thought alone late at night, trying to find a solution to the problem, but each time she failed.

At the last celebration party of the project, Jiang Ciyou dressed up carefully. She knew that this might be the last time she and Lu Jingchen would get along as working partners, and she wanted to leave a good memory. When she walked into the venue, Lu Jingchen's eyes were immediately attracted by her. He walked up to Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of amazement: "You look so beautiful today." Jiang Ciyou smiled: "Thank you."

The celebration went very happily, and everyone was celebrating the success of the project. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen also temporarily put aside their worries and enjoyed this rare happy time. However, the sudden appearance of her husband broke this wonderful atmosphere. He looked at Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen together, with a flash of pain in his eyes, but he still walked to Jiang Ciyou and said, "Ciyou, I'm here to take you home." Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen awkwardly and said, "I... I don't want to leave yet."

The husband's face turned ugly, and he said, "I know you don't want to see me, but I really hope you can come home with me and we can have a good talk." Lu Jingchen watched from the side, feeling a little reluctant. He said to Jiang Ciyou, "Go ahead, you really need to have a good talk." Jiang Ciyou nodded and left with her husband.

After returning home, the husband said to Jiang Ciyou: "I know I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period, and I am really sorry. I have thought about it for a long time, and I don't want to go on like this. If you really like Lu Jingchen, I am willing to let go."

Jiang Ciyou was a little surprised...
