Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend
Chapter 634 Family Pressure
Jiang Ciyou sat on the sofa in her living room, exhausted, and the air around her seemed to freeze. At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, and she got up to open the door, only to see her elderly parents standing at the door with worried faces, followed by several relatives.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here?" Jiang Ciyou greeted them, forcing himself to be cheerful.
The mother walked straight into the house, holding Jiang Ciyou's hand, her eyes full of distress: "Ciyou, we heard that you and your son-in-law were having a very unhappy argument, what happened?"
Jiang Ciyou opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start. At this time, his father sighed heavily and said, "Ciyou, marriage is not a joke. There are always quarrels between husband and wife. Don't be willful. Put your family first and live a good life with your son-in-law."
Relatives also echoed: "Yes, Ciyou, your life is so good now, why do you want to destroy your family just because of a momentary anger?"
Jiang Ciyou smiled bitterly in her heart. They had no idea what she had been through. She said slowly, "Mom and Dad, you don't understand the situation. He abandoned me on our wedding night and eloped abroad with his mistress. Now he's back to threaten me and wants to control my life. What's the point of a marriage like this?"
The mother's eyes widened, obviously shocked by the news: "How could this happen? How could he do such a thing?"
My father frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "Even if he made mistakes in the past, if he is willing to turn back now, you should give him a chance. If you divorce him, what will people say about you? And as a woman, it will be very difficult for you to face the pressure of life alone."
Jiang Ciyou's tears welled up in her eyes: "But Dad, I don't love him anymore. I have someone I like now, and he gives me warmth and support that I have never had before."
This sentence was like dropping a bombshell, causing an uproar in the family. The mother said anxiously: "Ciyou, you can't be confused! You have already had a failed marriage, you can't be willful and pursue so-called love. What can this Lu Jingchen give you? Can he give you a rich life and a stable family like your husband?"
Jiang Ciyou tried to explain: "Mom, Lu Jingchen is sincere to me, and I am not a person who only values material things. What I want is a true relationship, someone who can accompany me and respect me."
However, her family could not understand her idea. A relative said seriously: "Ciyou, you have to think carefully. Your husband has social status and wealth. He can bring many benefits to you and your family. If you leave him, not only will you lose everything, but we will also be implicated."
Jiang Ciyou was stunned. She didn't expect her family to involve their own interests. She looked at her parents' weather-beaten faces and felt very painful. She knew that her parents were doing this for her own good. They had worked hard for the family all their lives and hoped that she could live a stable life. However, she didn't want to give up her right to pursue happiness.
"Mom and Dad, I know you are worried about me, but I am not a child anymore. I have my own judgment and choice, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a loveless marriage." Jiang Ciyou said firmly.
The father slammed the table angrily: "You are stubborn! Do you think love can be eaten? If you insist on being with that man, we will pretend that you are not our daughter!"
The mother quickly grabbed the father and said, "Don't say that. Ciyou must have been confused for a moment. Ciyou, please admit your mistake to your father and stop being stubborn."
Jiang Ciyou couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they burst out. She felt extremely lonely and helpless. On one side was Lu Jingchen, whom she loved deeply and her desire for happiness, and on the other side was the pressure from her parents and family who raised her. She didn't know how to choose, and she was in a deep struggle.
In the following days, Jiang Ciyou's family kept persuading her. They took turns staying by her side, telling her the importance of family and citing examples of people around them who had a hard life because of divorce. Jiang Ciyou was surrounded by these words every day, and she began to become taciturn and often sat in a daze in her room.
She remembered her parents working hard to support her education when she was a child; she remembered her mother staying up all night to take care of her when she was sick; she remembered her father running around for her wedding with a happy smile on his face. She knew she owed her family too much, but she couldn't give up her feelings for Lu Jingchen.
Lu Jingchen noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Ciyou, and he tried to contact her, but Jiang Ciyou's phone was confiscated by her family. He came to Jiang Ciyou's house and wanted to see her, but was turned away by Jiang Ciyou's father.
"Don't bother Ciyou anymore. She won't be with you. She already has a family. It's immoral for you to do this." Father said to Lu Jingchen sternly.
Lu Jingchen explained anxiously: "Uncle, I love Ciyou, I will make her happy. She is not happy in this marriage, why don't you let her pursue her own happiness?"
The father snorted disdainfully: "What kind of happiness can you give her? Do you think that just because you are young and handsome is enough? Without material foundation, love will disappear sooner or later."
Lu Jingchen left helplessly. He knew that Jiang Ciyou was in a difficult situation. He wanted to help her, but didn't know where to start.
Jiang Ciyou heard the quarrel outside in her room, and her heart felt like it was torn apart. She wanted to rush out, throw herself into Lu Jingchen's arms, and tell him that she would not give up. However, she was afraid of hurting her parents.
Under the pressure of her family, Jiang Ciyou's company fell into a deeper crisis. She had no time to take care of the company's affairs, and the employees began to panic. After some important customers learned about her family disputes, they doubted their cooperation with her and cancelled their orders. The company's capital chain was broken and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Jiang Ciyou looked at the company's financial statements and felt desperate. She knew that her husband was behind all this and wanted to force her to return to him by destroying her career. However, her family did not understand her situation and continued to put pressure on her.
At this dark moment, Jiang Ciyou's best friend came to her again. Seeing Jiang Ciyou's haggard appearance, her best friend felt distressed.
"Ciyou, you can't be defeated like this. You have to be strong and fight for your own happiness and career." The best friend encouraged.
Jiang Ciyou smiled bitterly and said, "What should I do? I don't want to lose my family, and I don't want to give up Lu Jingchen. My company is almost gone, and I feel like I have nothing."
Her best friend held her hand and said, "You are not without everything. You still have me. Let's find a way to solve the problem together. First, you need to communicate with your family and let them know your true feelings. Then, we will find a way to deal with the company's crisis. As for Lu Jingchen, if he really loves you, he will always support you."
After hearing what her best friend said, Jiang Ciyou felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She decided to muster up the courage to talk to her family again.
She walked out of the room and came to the living room, where she saw her parents sitting on the sofa and sighing. She slowly walked to her parents and knelt down.
"Mom and Dad, I know I've disappointed you. But I really love Lu Jingchen, and he gave me the courage to start a new life. I also know that family is important, and I don't want to lose you. Please give me a chance to pursue my own happiness. I will work hard to solve the company's problems and won't let you worry about me." Jiang Ciyou said with tears streaming down her face.
The parents looked at their daughter kneeling on the ground, feeling very sorry. The mother started crying first: "Ciyou, we are doing this for your own good. We don't want to see you get hurt."
My father was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Ciyou, we can no longer object to you and Lu Jingchen being together, but you have to promise us that you must handle the company's affairs well and not put yourself in trouble."
Jiang Ciyou raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, I will."
Jiang Ciyou felt relieved after receiving her family's understanding. She knew that there were still many difficulties waiting for her ahead, but as long as she had the support of her family and Lu Jingchen's company, she had the confidence to face everything. She stood up, wiped away her tears, and prepared to work hard with Lu Jingchen for their future.
