The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

A sharp, dull pain shot through my arm, and I collapsed to the ground. From a daze, I saw a frantic figure lunging toward me, shouting, "You liar! You thief!"

It’s my stepsister! She got the invitation to the press conference from somewhere and is now trying to tear me apart like crazy. In the chaos, I heard Lawrence Lu’s roar and the screams of the crowd, and then my eyes went black and I completely lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed. Lu Yuxuan was sitting beside the bed, his face livid. Seeing me wake up, the anxiety in his eyes faded slightly. "How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?" He reached out and touched my forehead, his tone full of self-blame and worry.

I shook my head and struggled to sit up. "How was my press conference?"

"Don't worry, the show was a success." Lawrence Lu helped me sit down and handed me a glass of warm water. "Your work amazed everyone. Those doubts were quickly drowned out by praise. You are now the hottest new star in the fashion world."

I breathed a sigh of relief, yet a lingering sense of unease lingered within me. My stepsister's presence had made me realize that my identity was ultimately a hidden danger. I had to find a solution quickly so I could truly enjoy this.

"By the way, there's news from the family." Lawrence Lu seemed to see through my thoughts and suddenly said, "Don't worry, everything is over."

I looked up at him in surprise, but before I could ask any more questions, the door to the ward opened. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in, followed by a kind-looking old housekeeper.

"Miss Luoluo, we finally found you!" The old butler excitedly walked to the bedside, tears in his eyes. "Master...he's been looking for you!" I was stunned, my thoughts like being caught in a whirlpool, unable to calm down. The middle-aged man stepped forward, his expression excited: "Lolo, I am your uncle. Your father...he passed away."

It turns out I wasn't my father's biological daughter, but rather his adopted child. My biological parents died in an accident when I was very young, leaving behind a substantial inheritance and the family business. Worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it at such a young age, my father concealed my origins and raised me.

The moment I learned the truth, I felt like the world was turning upside down. The person I had always resented was actually the one who loved me so deeply. Tears blurred my vision, and I clutched my uncle's hand tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Silly child, it's all over." My uncle stroked my head gently, his eyes full of pity. "Your father was most worried about you before he died. He hoped that you could return to the family and inherit his wishes."

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. I decided to follow my father's wishes, return to my family, find out the truth, and take on my responsibilities.

A few days later, a grand, fashionable dinner was held at the luxurious hotel owned by the Lu Group. Dressed in a burgundy gown, I walked into the banquet hall arm-in-arm with Lu Yuxuan, adorned with envious glances. Amidst the dazzling lights, the elegantly dressed, and the clinking of glasses, I felt a sense of unprecedented honor and confidence.

"Everyone, please allow me to introduce to you my girlfriend, Lin Luoluo." Lawrence Lu's voice was clear and firm, with unquestionable dominance, declaring to the world how important I was to him.

The audience applauded loudly and flash cameras flashed one after another. I saw my stepmother and stepsister standing in the crowd, their faces pale and their eyes complicated, full of jealousy and regret.

After the party, my stepmother and stepsister found me. My stepsister's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She lowered her head and choked up, "Lolo, I'm sorry. I was wrong before. I was jealous of you, so I did so many wrong things. Can you forgive me?"

The stepmother also stepped forward, with a hint of guilt in her tone: "Lolo, I was biased in the past and didn't take good care of you. I hope you can forgive me as a mother."

I looked at them, feeling a mixture of emotions. The pain they had inflicted on me was like a lingering pain, etched deep within my bones. But now, seeing their sincere remorse, I found myself feeling relieved.

"Let the past be the past," I said calmly, "I just hope that we can all be fine in the future."

My stepmother and stepsister smiled with relief when they heard this. I knew that this "fine" meant a brand new beginning for us.

As the party drew to a close, a familiar figure approached me. It was Zhou Zihao, my rival and the man who had once pursued me madly. He looked a little forlorn, but his eyes were open and honest.

"Congratulations, Luoluo." He raised the champagne in his hand and gestured to me, "Your design is really great. I am convinced of my defeat."

I smiled faintly and raised my glass in return: "Thank you, you are also very good."

"I know I made some mistakes before, I hope you don't take it to heart." Zhou Zihao said with a wry smile, "Seeing you and Mr. Lu together, I realized that some feelings can't be forced. I wish you all the best."

I nodded and accepted his blessing. At that moment, I felt extremely relieved, and all the grudges and hatreds disappeared in this moment.

After Zhou Zihao left, my eyes involuntarily turned to the dazzling figure in the crowd. Lawrence Lu, he was still as tall and handsome as ever, with a confident and charming smile on his face, chatting and laughing with the people around him.

Feeling my gaze, he also looked towards me. The moment our eyes met, I understood the tenderness and doting in his eyes. He walked towards me through the crowd, and every step seemed to step on my heart, making my heart beat faster.

"What are you looking at?" He came to my side, gently put his arms around my waist, and spoke in a low and magnetic voice.

"Nothing, I just think you look particularly handsome tonight." I teased with a smile, trying to hide my inner panic.

"Really? Then shouldn't you give me a little reward?" He said, lowering his head close to my ear. His warm breath sprayed on my earlobe, making me feel numb.

Before I could react, he had already kissed me on the lips, gently and passionately. The people around me seemed to have become shadows, and he was the only one left in my world. His breath, his warmth, his taste, all of them intoxicated me.

"Marry me, Lolo." After the kiss, he whispered in my ear, his tone firm and serious.

I raised my head and met his deep eyes. The love in them was so strong that it almost melted me.

"Okay." I nodded gently, my voice choked with emotion.

I know that I have found the person I can entrust my life to. We will face all the storms in the future together and go through every journey of life hand in hand.

The wedding came as planned. It was a grand and romantic wedding, with a white wedding dress and brilliant flowers. Everything was just as I had dreamed. Standing in the middle of the crowd, I held Lawrence Lu's arm, feeling the warmth of his palm, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

"Are you willing to marry this beautiful lady next to you? Whether you are poor or rich, sick or healthy, are you willing to love her and cherish her forever?" The pastor's solemn voice sounded.

“I do.” Lawrence Lu’s voice was firm and powerful, with a glimmer of happiness in his eyes.

"Are you willing to marry this handsome man next to you? Whether for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, are you willing to love him and cherish him forever?" The pastor turned to me and repeated the same question.

I took a deep breath and was about to answer when I suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from the crowd.

"I object!"
