Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

As the lights came on, the city night was lit up by colorful neon lights. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked hand in hand into the gathering place carefully prepared for them by their friends. This is a luxurious restaurant located on the top floor of the city center. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a dazzling city night view, and the hustle and bustle of traffic is like a flowing galaxy, which contrasts with the warm and elegant interior decoration. In the restaurant, flowers are fragrant, candlelight is swaying, and soft music flows in every corner, as if telling the ups and downs and sweetness of the lovers along the way.

Friends had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them coming in, they stood up one after another. Applause and cheers rang out instantly, and the enthusiasm surrounded the two of them like a tide. Tears flashed in Jiang Ciyou's eyes. She looked around. These familiar faces included her best friend who accompanied her to get drunk and listened to her crying after she betrayed him on her wedding night; her old friend who gave her financial support and advice in the early days of her business; and Lu Jingchen's brothers who grew up with her and helped silently behind the scenes. Each face carries an unforgettable memory, and at this moment, they all gathered here just to celebrate her and Lu Jingchen's survival and start a new chapter.

Jiang Ciyou raised her head slightly, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, but the hot tears still slid down her cheeks uncontrollably. Jingchen gently put his arm around her shoulders, his eyes full of tenderness, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." The voice was gentle and firm, like the warm spring sun, dispelling the last trace of haze in her heart.

Surrounded by the crowd, the two slowly walked towards the main table. Jiang Ciyou's hand was always tightly held by Lu Jingchen, and the warmth from his palm made her feel extremely relieved. After they sat down, their friends also gathered around them. For a while, there were laughter and joy, and the clinking of wine glasses made a crisp sound. The atmosphere was as warm as a burning flame.

After three rounds of drinks, a close friend stood up. She had delicate makeup on, but her eyes were a little drunk. She was shaking a glass of champagne in her hand and looked at Jiang Ciyou with a smile: "Ciyou, you don't know how sad I was when you were abandoned by that bastard. We were in the bar, you drank one glass after another, crying your heart out, and I was anxious beside you, thinking about how to help you vent your anger." As she spoke, her eyes became red. "But now you've met Lu Jingchen. He is like your guardian angel, pulling you out of those dark days. Today, seeing you two so happy, my heart is sweeter than eating honey." After that, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.

Jiang Ciyou listened to her bestie's words, and the painful memories of the past surged into her mind like a tide. The loneliness and despair of the wedding night, those nights soaked in tears, all appeared before her eyes one by one. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to speak, but her throat was choked by tears. Lu Jingchen handed her a tissue at the right time and gently wiped her tears, his eyes full of heartache.

Then, an old friend also stood up. He was dressed in a suit and had the confidence and calmness that are unique to successful people on his face: "Ciyou, I still remember when you first started to get involved in business, you were completely in the dark and didn't know anything. But I admire your spirit of not admitting defeat from the bottom of my heart. At that time, there was a shortage of funds, insufficient connections, and many difficulties, but you gritted your teeth and persevered. Later, Lu Jingchen joined in, and the tacit understanding between the two of you was simply amazing! Discussing projects and running business together, you overcame one difficulty after another. I knew that you would achieve great things. On this occasion today, I have to toast you a glass, and wish you a future career to reach a higher level and a long-lasting love!" After that, he raised his glass to the two of them, and everyone responded. The crisp sound of clinking glasses was like a cheerful piece of music.

Jiang Ciyou picked up the wine glass, but her hands were shaking slightly. She recalled the days when she ran around for projects, the frustration when she was rejected by customers, and the anxiety when the capital chain was tight. If Lu Jingchen hadn't been by her side all the time, giving her strength and support, she really didn't know if she could make it. She turned to look at Lu Jingchen, her eyes full of gratitude and affection: "Jingchen, this journey is all thanks to you." Lu Jingchen smiled and looked at her, the love in his eyes seemed to drown her, he whispered: "Silly, we are together." The two drank it all in one gulp, the spicy wine slid down their throats, but turned into sweetness in their hearts.

As everyone was blessing and reminiscing, Jiang Ciyou became more and more excited. Finally, she slowly stood up, holding the microphone tightly in her hand, and her eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Lu Jingchen. The deep affection and gratitude in her eyes made the whole world seem to quiet down.

"My dear friends, I feel very complicated standing here today." Her voice was slightly trembling, but it was very firm. "I once thought that my life was in endless darkness. The betrayal on my wedding night made me lose faith in love and life. I was like a wounded lonely bird, wandering alone in the darkness, unable to find the direction." She paused slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the surging emotions in her heart. "But, fate made me meet Lu Jingchen."

At this point, her eyes became soft and fiery, with tears in her eyes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. "Jingchen, do you still remember the bar where we first met? At that time, I was full of thoughts of revenge, and wanted to heal the pain in my heart in a nearly self-destructive way. I saw you in the crowd, you were like a beam of light, so dazzling, yet so warm." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a happy smile, as if she had returned to the night when they first met.

"Since then, you have walked into my life little by little, and slowly melted the ice in my heart with your gentleness, thoughtfulness, and unconditional trust. When I was tortured by the memories of the past, you tried your best to make me happy; when I was sick and fragile, you stayed by my bedside and stayed up all night; when I encountered difficulties in my career and wanted to give up, you always encouraged me and gave me strength." Jiang Ciyou's voice choked, and tears flowed like a flood. "This time, facing that crazy revenge, I really thought I was going to die. But you rushed over regardless of everything and used your body to block the danger for me. At that moment, I saw the determination and firmness in your eyes. That was your love for me, a love that was willing to sacrifice your life."

The whole restaurant was silent, everyone was immersed in Jiang Ciyou's affectionate narration, and many people had tears in their eyes. Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of affection and care. He stood up and slowly walked towards her, his steps firm and steady.

When he walked in front of Jiang Ciyou, he gently raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face. His eyes were always fixed on her eyes, which seemed to hide the brightest stars in the world. "Ciyou, don't cry." His voice was low and magnetic, like a warm current flowing through everyone's heart, "All this is because I love you. From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the one I would protect in this life. How could I bear to let you face those dark days alone? Your pain is my pain; your happiness is my happiness."

He paused slightly and took a deep breath, as if to pour all his emotions into the following words. "I am willing to give everything for you, whether it is facing business challenges or trivialities in life, I just want to bear it with you. Because, without you, my life will be meaningless." Lu Jingchen's voice trembled slightly, and the deep affection in his eyes became stronger, like a burning flame, tightly surrounding Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, tears blurred her eyes, but she couldn't stop the burning love. She couldn't hold back her inner emotions any longer, and threw herself into Lu Jingchen's arms, hugging him tightly with her arms, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body. Lu Jingchen also hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to protect her in his own world, never to be separated.

The friends around were deeply moved by this affectionate scene, and the applause rang out like thunder and lasted for a long time. In the applause, there were blessings, touching moments, and praise for this sincere love. In this warm and warm atmosphere, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen hugged each other, as if time had stopped for them. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they held hands with each other, nothing could stop them from moving towards happiness.

After a long time, the two slowly separated. Jiang Ciyou's face was still covered with tears, but she smiled the brightest. She turned to look at her friends, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you everyone, today's gathering, this blessing, Jingchen and I will always remember it in our hearts. In the future, we also hope to accompany everyone, just like you accompany us, through the ups and downs of life."

Friends raised their glasses again, for their future and for this rock-solid love. Laughter and joy resounded in the restaurant again, a farewell to the sufferings of the past and an expectation for a better future. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen held hands and merged into this ocean of joy. Their hearts were filled with longing and expectations for their future lives, and this gratitude and companionship would become the most solid force on their way forward, forever.
