The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

My heart sank along with Lawrence Lu’s expression. That anonymous email was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on our hearts. Could it be that besides the suitor who had been exposed, there was someone else who wanted to destroy the relationship between Lawrence Lu and me?

“Who is it?!” Lawrence Lu roared in a low voice, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

I walked over and gently held his hand, trying to give him some strength: "Yuxuan, don't worry, we will definitely find out who is behind this."

Lawrence Lu held my hand tightly with his backhand, and a firm light flashed in his deep eyes: “Lolo, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt you, nor will I let anyone destroy our happiness.”

He immediately began to investigate the source of the email. However, the address from which the email was sent was disguised and could not be traced at all. But this did not stop Lawrence Lu. He mobilized all the resources he could to secretly investigate any clues related to this matter.

I looked at Lawrence Lu, who was running around for me, and my heart ached. He could have lived a carefree life, but because of me, he was put in danger again and again. I secretly vowed to find out the truth as soon as possible and stop him from worrying about me.

A few days later, Lawrence Lu finally made a new discovery. He looked up the family background of the crazy pursuer and found out that he had an older brother who had been developing abroad and had always held a grudge against Lawrence Lu’s family business, believing that the Lu family had snatched away the opportunity that originally belonged to their family.

Could it be that he sent this email? Why did he do this? Was it just because he was jealous of Lawrence Lu’s wealth and status? My mind was full of questions.

Lu Yuxuan decided not to alert the enemy first, but to find a way to ask this brother out and ask him face to face. He invited him in the name of discussing cooperation.

A week later, the man arrived as promised. His name was Zhou Qiming, and he had the same features as his brother in the photo, though he looked more mature and steady. However, there was an unconcealable gloom between his brows.

“Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you.” Lawrence Lu extended his hand politely.

Zhou Qiming shook hands with him and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Lu is young and promising. I really admire him."

After the greetings, Lawrence Lu got straight to the point: “Mr. Zhou, I asked you to come here this time because I want to talk to you about your brother.”

Zhou Qiming's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "My brother? What happened to him? He should be receiving treatment now."

“Treatment is necessary, but he should also pay the price for everything he has done.” Lawrence Lu’s tone was calm, but with unquestionable majesty.

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Qiming said in a bad tone.

"Mr. Zhou, let's be frank. It was you who sent the anonymous email, right?" I couldn't help but interrupt, looking straight at him, not missing any subtle expression on his face.

Zhou Qiming was obviously stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Ms. Lin, you are joking. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

"Mr. Zhou, you may deny that you sent the email, but you must know what your brother did to me, right? And you, are you really only coming to see us because you are worried about your brother? Or are you like him, holding a grudge against me, Yuxuan, and the Lu family?" I pressed on step by step, and my tone became sharp.

Zhou Qiming’s expression turned extremely ugly. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Lawrence Lu, and said with gritted teeth, “Lawrence Lu, stop pretending here! If your family hadn’t bullied others back then, how could our family have fallen to this point today?! My brother has become what he is today, all thanks to your Lu family!”

He was so emotional that his eyes were red. The resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years seemed to have found an outlet at this moment.

Lawrence Lu gestured for me to calm down. He looked at Zhou Qiming calmly and said sincerely, "Mr. Zhou, I don't know what happened back then, but I can assure you that if it's really my family who has wronged you, I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation. However, this doesn't mean you can hurt Luo Luo, and it certainly can't be a reason for you to retaliate against me."

Although his tone was calm, every word was full of power and resounding. Standing beside him, I felt his calmness and determination, and my heart was filled with a sense of security.

"Explanation? Can a light explanation make up for the losses our family has suffered over the years? Can it make my brother return to normal?!" Zhou Qiming's anger did not seem to subside because of Lu Yuxuan's words, but became even more violent.

"I can't change the past, but I can promise to do my best to make amends." Lawrence Lu said sincerely, "Mr. Zhou, when will the cycle of revenge end? Wouldn't it be better to let go of the hatred and start over?"

His words seemed to touch a chord in Zhou Qiming's heart. He was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a complicated look.

"Are you really willing to help us?" he asked in a low voice, with an imperceptible tremor in his tone.

“As long as you are willing, I can help you and your brother.” Lawrence Lu said firmly.

Silence, a long silence.

Finally, Zhou Qiming sighed deeply, as if he had made a decision. He looked at Lawrence Lu and spoke slowly, “Okay, I’ll trust you this time. I’ll persuade my brother to give up revenge, and I’ll tell you everything I know…”

Zhou Qiming's words gave us hope for a solution. He recounted the events of that year in detail and confessed his long-held resentment towards the Lu family. It turned out that the Lu family had not been bullying others by taking advantage of their power, but that there was something else going on. It was just that the truth was covered up, which led to the Zhou family suffering an unjust accusation.

"I will tell you everything I know. I just hope you can keep your promise and help us get justice." Zhou Qiming said in a heavy tone.

Lawrence Lu nodded solemnly: “I promise.”

With Zhou Qiming's help, we obtained all the evidence of the pursuer's crime and brought him to justice. I finally let go of my worries and fully recovered under Lawrence Lu's careful care.

The ups and downs we've experienced during this time have only deepened our bond. We've faced challenges together, overcome difficulties together, and cherished each other even more.

“Lolo, let’s get married after this is over.” Lawrence Lu looked at me affectionately, his eyes full of love.

I nodded touchedly and snuggled in his arms, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

After going through all this, I understand more clearly that true love can stand the test of time. It will not change because of the gap in status, nor will it disappear because of external pressure. Instead, it will become more indestructible through repeated tempering.

I believe that the future of Lawrence Lu and I will be full of happiness and joy as we promised.

To thank Zhou Qiming for his help, Lawrence Lu decided to offer him a job and let him start over. Zhou Qiming accepted the offer and said he would work hard to make up for his past mistakes. I was sincerely happy to see him and Lawrence Lu reconcile. Perhaps time really is the best medicine to heal all.

I was immersed in the upcoming happy life, looking forward to my wedding with Lawrence Lu, and we even started discussing where to go for our honeymoon. Just when everything seemed to be settled, something unexpected happened.

That night, Lawrence Lu was working in the study as usual, while I was reading in the bedroom. Suddenly, I heard a scream from the study. I quickly put down my book, ran to the door of the study, and asked worriedly, "Yuxuan, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lawrence Lu's face was pale, and he clutched a document tightly in his hand. The document envelope was clearly marked with the words "Top Secret." He raised his head, glanced at me with a complicated expression, and said in a heavy tone, "Lolo, I seem to have discovered a bigger secret, a secret about my family..."

My heart tightened, and a sense of foreboding washed over me. I walked over to him, gently held his hand, and tried to give him some strength: "Don't worry, tell me, what happened?"

Lawrence Lu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I stumbled upon this document today while sorting out the old documents left by my father. It records some secret events about my family's past, as well as some unknown business transactions. Even more terrifying, the document also mentioned that a business rival had a grudge against our family and vowed to retaliate against us and even destroy the entire Lu family..."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "I'm worried that the person mentioned in this document might still be alive and secretly planning something..."

My heart sank. Could it be that the peaceful life that Lawrence Lu and I had worked so hard to achieve was about to be shattered? Who was that enemy hiding in the shadows? And how would he exact his revenge?

A bigger shadow loomed over our hearts, and Lawrence Lu and I both realized that this might just be the beginning...
