Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The morning light gently passed through the thin clouds and sprinkled lightly on the garden of the Lu family mansion, awakening this home wrapped in love. Today is Lu Xingyao's seventh birthday. For Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, this is not only a node in the child's growth, but also another profound understanding of life, family, and love after their journey and ups and downs.

Jiang Ciyou got up early and carefully selected a lotus pink silk dress with delicate lace embroidered on the hem, which perfectly showed her gentle and capable temperament. She stood in front of the dressing table, gently stroking the neatly arranged jewelry with her fingers, and finally picked up a pair of simple and exquisite pearl earrings, which were the gift Lu Jingchen gave to Xingyao on her third birthday. Each pearl was round and shiny, as if hiding their sweet memories over the years.

Lu Jingchen was also dressed neatly, wearing a dark grey custom suit, which made him look tall and straight, and his broad shoulders seemed to be able to bear all the wind and rain in the world. He quietly walked into the children's room, looked at his daughter sleeping on the bed, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Lu Xingyao was like a little angel, with rosy cheeks, and her little hands were still tightly holding her favorite plush rabbit, which was sewn by Jiang Ciyou himself. The two black buttons on the rabbit's eyes were shining in the morning light.

"Baby, get up, today is your big day." Lu Jingchen whispered in his daughter's ear, his voice full of doting.

Xingyao opened her eyes dazedly, and when she saw her father, she sat up suddenly, her eyes sparkling, "Dad, I'm seven years old!"

"Yes, our little Xingxing is one year older. Hurry and get dressed. Mom is waiting for you downstairs." Lu Jingchen helped his daughter pick up the princess dress that had been prepared long ago. It was the one that Xingyao had fallen in love with a few days ago. The pink gauze dress was inlaid with tiny crystals, like a dreamy galaxy.

The family sat around the dining table, which was filled with Xingyao's favorite foods, including golden fried eggs, soft rice porridge, and freshly baked sweet bread. Jiang Ciyou carefully peeled a boiled egg for his daughter, while Lu Jingchen poured milk into a cup with cartoon patterns and handed it to Xingyao.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Xingyao said happily, with some bread crumbs on the corners of her mouth.

After breakfast, they did not arrange a luxurious birthday party as usual, but decided to go to the orphanage. This was a decision made by Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen after a long discussion. They hoped that on Xingyao's birthday, she would learn to cherish and share, understand that there are still many children in the world who need help, and that giving happiness to others would bring double happiness to herself.

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the orphanage. It was a slightly old but warm building with colorful murals on the walls, including flying birds, blooming flowers, and children holding hands. As soon as Xingyao got out of the car, she looked around curiously, holding Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly with her little hand.

The director of the orphanage had been waiting at the door. When he saw the Lu family, he greeted them warmly: "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, welcome. The children are all looking forward to seeing sister Xingyao."

The dean led them into the courtyard. The children were playing and laughing on the playground. When they saw the strangers coming, they stopped timidly. Jiang Ciyou squatted down and said to Xingyao gently, "Baby, can you share the gifts you brought with your brothers and sisters?"

Xingyao nodded vigorously, opened the big box full of toys, books and snacks, and began to distribute them to the children one by one. She picked up a beautiful picture book and walked to a little girl sitting in the corner. The little girl was wearing shabby clothes, but her eyes were particularly bright: "Sister, this is for you. The story inside is very interesting."

The little girl took the picture book shyly and whispered, "Thank you, Xingyao sister."

Lu Jingchen stood aside, watching his daughter's actions, feeling very relieved. He recalled that when he was a child, although his family was well-off, his parents were busy and rarely accompanied him, and his birthdays were mostly spent in luxurious but cold banquets. But now, watching Xingyao's smile blooming in sharing, he knew that this was a truly meaningful birthday.

Jiang Ciyou also joined the children. She played skipping rope with them, her light figure like a girl. The skipping rope drew beautiful arcs in the air, and the children's laughter echoed in the yard. Lu Jingchen looked at his wife and children's happy faces, and couldn't help but think of every little thing since they met.

At that time, Jiang Ciyou had just experienced betrayal on her wedding night, and her heart was full of scars, but she was stubborn and refused to give in. He accidentally broke into her world, and was probably attracted by her beauty and tenacity at first, but he didn't expect that this journey together would become the most precious protection in his life. From those first encounters in high-end places, to the carefree time traveling around the world together, to the hand in hand when facing business crises and family conflicts, every moment is like a bright star, embedded in the long river of their lives.

In the afternoon, the sun became even hotter, and the children, tired from playing, gathered under the shade of the trees to rest. Xingyao leaned in Jiang Ciyou's arms, her little face flushed, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Mom, I'm so happy today." Xingyao said softly.

Jiang Ciyou gently stroked his daughter's hair: "Because Xingyao has done something great. Sharing happiness with others will make you happier. This is growth."

Lu Jingchen was sitting next to them, watching this scene, and suddenly spoke up: "Do you remember when you were a kid and learned to walk for the first time? You fell several times, tears welled up in your eyes, but you stubbornly refused to give up. When you finally threw yourself into my arms, that energy was exactly the same as it is now."

Jiang Ciyou also laughed: "Yes, our Xingyao has been strong since she was a child. She will definitely be an extraordinary girl in the future."

In the evening, when she returned home, the servants had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. There was also an exquisite birthday cake on the table. The cake was made of cream into the shape of Xingyao's favorite unicorn, and it was dotted with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

The family sat together, lit the candles, Xingyao closed her eyes and made a birthday wish. The candlelight flickered, illuminating three happy faces.

After dinner, Xingyao returned to her room with a bunch of newly received small gifts, followed by Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen. They watched their daughter put the gifts in order, their eyes full of joy.

"Mom and Dad, I want to give this little bear to the stray cat at the door. It must be very cold in the winter." Xingyao picked up a furry little bear doll and said seriously.

Lu Jingchen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect his daughter to have such an idea. Jiang Ciyou squatted down and gently hugged Xingyao into his arms: "Our Xingyao is not only brave, but also kind. This is the most precious quality. Mom and Dad are proud of you."

Lu Jingchen also came over and touched Xingyao's head: "Baby, you did the right thing. Being kind will make you gain more love."

At night, the moonlight was like water, shining through the white gauze curtains onto the bedroom floor, like a layer of silver frost. Jiang Ciyou walked gently into Xingyao's room, wanting to tuck her in. But he saw Lu Jingchen sitting by the bed, holding a storybook in his hand, and Xingyao leaned in his arms, already asleep.

Lu Jingchen raised his head and looked at Jiang Ciyou. They smiled at each other without words. Their eyes were full of love and tenderness. Together, they gently laid Xingyao flat and covered her with a blanket. Jiang Ciyou placed a gentle kiss on her daughter's forehead.

After leaving the room, the two came to the French window. The garden outside the window was quiet and beautiful under the moonlight. The breeze blew, and the flowers swayed gently, emitting bursts of fragrance. Lu Jingchen gently hugged Jiang Ciyou from behind, with his chin resting on the top of her head.

"When I saw Xingyao's appearance today, I suddenly felt that all the hard work we have done along the way was worth it." Jiang Ciyou said softly.

Lu Jingchen tightened his arms: "Yes, she is our hope and the continuation of our love. In the future, no matter what happens, we must stay together as a family like today."

Jiang Ciyou turned around and looked into her husband's eyes, which reflected her own face and the overflowing affection: "I know that just like you saved me in the fire at the beginning, and then accompanied me through so many difficulties, we will never be separated."

The two stood quietly in front of the window, the moonlight stretched their shadows very long, as if telling the story of this family. From the pain and confusion in the past to the happiness and perfection now, they wrote their own legend with love. And at this moment, in this quiet night, they know that there are countless beautiful things waiting for them in the future. New stories are quietly unfolding in this home full of love and courage, and will never stop.

As time goes by, Lu Xingyao thrives under the careful care of her parents. She inherited Jiang Ciyou's intelligence and tenacity, and Lu Jingchen's kindness and open-mindedness. In school, she has excellent grades and is always eager to help her classmates. She is a good student in the eyes of teachers and a good role model in the hearts of classmates.

Jiang Ciyou's career is getting more and more prosperous. With her keen business insight and decisive decision-making ability, she has carved out a space for herself in the business world. Not only does she run her company successfully, she also actively participates in public welfare, speaks up for more disadvantaged groups, and provides help. She often takes Xingyao to participate in various public welfare activities, so that her daughter can experience the joy of giving firsthand.

Lu Jingchen plays a pivotal role in the family business. He leads the Lu Group to innovate and expand its business areas, making it invincible in the fierce market competition. Despite his busy work, he never neglects his family. He takes time out every day to accompany Jiang Ciyou and Xingyao, even if it's just to have dinner together and chat about family matters.

One summer vacation, the family decided to travel to Africa to experience different customs and practices. They went deep into the savannah and saw herds of zebras, majestic lions, and leisurely giraffes. Xingyao was so excited that her eyes lit up and she kept taking pictures with her camera, wanting to record every wonderful moment.

In a remote tribe, they met a group of villagers who were short of water due to drought. Jiang Ciyou contacted the local rescue organization without hesitation and donated a large amount of drinking water and daily necessities. Lu Jingchen took Xingyao and built simple water storage facilities with the villagers and taught the children some basic hygiene knowledge.

"Mom and Dad, I want to help more people like you in the future." Xingyao looked at the grateful smiles on the villagers' faces and made a secret vow in her heart.

After returning to China, Xingyao studied harder. She also joined the school's volunteer club and used her spare time to visit the elderly in nursing homes and raise funds for books and stationery for children in poor areas.

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen are filled with joy as they watch their daughter grow up. They know that the seedling they have watered with love is growing into a towering tree, and in the future, she will carry this love and warm more people.

The relationship between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen has also become more mature with the years. They would sit in the garden together on weekend afternoons, drink afternoon tea, and recall the past; they would carefully prepare gifts for each other on their wedding anniversary every year to relive the romance of the past; they would lend a helping hand without hesitation and give the strongest support to each other when the other encountered difficulties.

It was another starry night. A warm family gathering was held in the garden of the Lu family mansion. Friends and relatives gathered together to celebrate another birthday for Xingyao. At this moment, Xingyao had grown into a graceful young girl. She was wearing a white dress and had a bright smile, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stood aside, watching their daughter walking through the crowd, laughing and chatting with her friends. Their hands were tightly held together, as if they were holding all the happiness in the world.

"It's really not easy for us over the years." Jiang Ciyou said with emotion.

Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly: "But everything is worth it, because we have each other and Xingyao, this is our most perfect life."

Under the moonlight, their figures are still tightly attached to each other. Love and courage continue in this family, moving towards the future without stopping. In the days to come, they will face new challenges together and create more beauty. Their story will also become a legend passed down by people, inspiring more people to bravely pursue happiness and write their own chapters with love.
