Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend
Chapter 622: Inner Struggle
Jiang Ciyou returned to her room alone, and each step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She gently closed the door, slid down to the ground with her back against the door, and the air around her seemed to freeze, with only her disordered breathing clearly audible in the silence. In her mind, it was like two villains arguing fiercely, on one side was her husband's threatening words and the terrifying power and wealth he could control, and on the other side was Lu Jingchen's affectionate eyes, gentle smile, and the poetic and beautiful memories of their time together.
She recalled her husband's gloomy face and fierce eyes. That look was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into her heart. "I will make you have no place to stand in this city, and everything you have will be gone." Her husband's words were like the whisper of a devil, echoing in her ears. She knew her husband's influence in this city, and his business empire was intertwined. If he wanted to suppress her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. Was the career she had worked hard for many years and the hard work she had put in for countless days and nights going to be destroyed in an instant? She was afraid of losing her financial independence and returning to the helpless situation where she could only rely on others.
However, Lu Jingchen's figure was like a beam of warm and firm light, trying to penetrate the layers of darkness and fear. She recalled that they walked together on the beach by the sea, the sun shining on their bodies, the sea breeze brushing their faces, they held hands, and confided their dreams and love to each other. When she was sick, Lu Jingchen would stay by her bed all night, cook porridge for her and feed her medicine, and his concerned eyes seemed as if she was the most precious baby in his world. Those beautiful moments, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, became more brilliant in this dark moment.
She hugged her head tightly with both hands, and her fingers pulled her hair unconsciously, as if this could sort out the chaotic thoughts in her mind. Her heart was screaming in pain, and tears were flashing in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She knew that this choice was not only about love, but also about her entire life. If she chose Lu Jingchen, she would face huge unknowns and risks, and might have to engage in a thrilling contest with her husband, and the result might be that she would lose everything she had; but if she gave up Lu Jingchen and returned to her husband, how could she betray her own heart, how could she forget that sincere love and the betrayal she had suffered?
She began to pace in the room, from one end to the other, and from the other end to this end, each step was accompanied by inner struggle and torment. She looked out the window at the bustling city night scene, but the flashing lights seemed to be mocking her predicament. She thought of her former longing for love and marriage. The betrayal on the wedding night made her world collapse, and the appearance of Lu Jingchen was a redemption given to her by fate, but why did she have to make such a difficult choice now?
She walked to the window, resting her forehead against the cold glass, trying to calm herself down. She began to analyze her situation, wondering if there was a way to have the best of both worlds. But no matter how she thought, she felt that there was a fog in front of her and she couldn't find a clear direction. Her breathing became rapid, her heartbeat also accelerated, and she seemed to be trapped in an invisible net and couldn't break free.
Time passed quietly in this endless struggle, the light in the room gradually dimmed, and night fell, just like the darkness in her heart at this moment covering everything. She felt extremely tired, exhausted both physically and mentally, but her brain still couldn't stop thinking. She didn't know where to go, and could only face the storm in her heart alone in this dark room, waiting for the dawn, maybe then she could see clearly the path she really wanted to take.
She sat back on the bed, staring blankly ahead. She began to recall every detail of her acquaintance with her husband, from their initial encounter to their love, and then to the joy of entering the marriage hall. She couldn't figure out why things had ended up like this. Was it because she hadn't done well enough, or was her husband just so heartless? And the appearance of Lu Jingchen, was it fate's favor or another test?
From time to time, her phone screen lit up with messages from Jingchen Lu Jingchen. Those words full of love and encouragement made her heart even more entangled. She wanted to reply, but she didn't know what to say. She was afraid that she would give Lu Jingchen hope, but ultimately let him down; but she couldn't bear to ignore his deep affection. She held the phone, her fingers hesitated above the screen, and finally put it down helplessly.
In this long dark night, Jiang Ciyou's inner struggle was like surging waves, one after another. She groped in the darkness, looking for a glimmer of possible hope and redemption, but she was always trapped in this dilemma, unable to extricate herself.
