Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the carved window lattices of the Lu family's old house, and sprinkled on the different faces of the people around the long table. A family meeting with undercurrents was about to begin. Lu Jingchen was wearing a dark gray suit, with an upright posture but unable to hide the fatigue between his eyebrows. Jiang Ciyou sat beside him, with delicate makeup and a sharp look in her eyes. She gently held Lu Jingchen's hand, as if silently comforting him.

At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was like a taut string. Lu Jingxuan, Lu Jingchen's half brother, was the first to attack. He slammed a stack of documents on the table, stood up, and swept his eyes over everyone, finally fixing on Lu Jingchen, with a bit of provocation and pride: "Brother, you have been in charge of the family business in the past few years, but how do you explain these unclear points in the accounts?" After saying that, he crossed his arms and raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth.

For a moment, the conference room was full of discussions, and several family elders frowned and whispered to each other. Lu Jingchen's expression did not change, but he narrowed his eyes slightly. He slowly turned over the so-called "account details". As soon as he glanced at it, he knew in his heart that this was a slander that Lu Jingxuan had planned for a long time. He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Jingxuan, saying in a steady voice: "Third brother, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to convince everyone with such a hasty conclusion."

Jiang Ciyou was observing everyone's reactions calmly. She tapped the table with her bare hands to attract everyone's attention, then she opened her red lips and said, "Since third brother has doubts about the accounts, then check it carefully. However, the person who checks the accounts must be fair and selfless." She glanced at several respected elders, "Uncles, what do you think?" Several elders nodded slightly as a response.

In the following days, the audit was carried out intensively. Lu Jingxuan secretly bribed several financial personnel in an attempt to forge more evidence against Lu Jingchen, but Jiang Ciyou was prepared. The spies she arranged privately saw every move of Lu Jingxuan. Late at night, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen discussed countermeasures in the study. The dim light reflected their tired but resolute faces.

"Jingchen, Lu Jingxuan is determined to bring you down this time. I'm afraid there are other people behind him supporting you." Jiang Ciyou frowned, her eyes full of worry. Lu Jingchen gently embraced her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "It's okay, I don't care much about the inheritance rights, but I don't want you to be wronged with me, and I can't let him destroy the foundation that my father has worked hard to build." Jiang Ciyou raised her head from his arms, her eyes firm: "No, this is what you deserve, we can't back down."

Just before the results of the audit were to be announced, Jiang Ciyou finally found solid evidence of Lu Jingxuan's embezzlement of public funds through layers of clues. It was a series of secret overseas account transfer records, as well as emails in which he colluded with competitors to sell off the family's core industry shares at a low price. With the evidence in hand, Jiang Ciyou fell into deep thought. She knew that once the evidence was made public, Lu Jingxuan would be ruined and the Lu family would be caught in a bigger public opinion storm.

The family meeting was held again, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating. Lu Jingxuan still pretended to be calm, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed his nervousness. Jiang Ciyou stood up, holding an exquisite file bag in her hand. She slowly walked to the front of the conference table, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Lu Jingxuan, and said softly: "Third brother, at this point, are you still unwilling to admit your fault?" As she said that, she placed the evidence in the file bag on the table one by one.

There was an uproar in the conference room. Lu Jingxuan's face was pale. He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ciyou in disbelief, his lips trembling: "You...how could you find these?" Jiang Ciyou shook his head slightly, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "Third brother, why should our family go to this point." At this moment, Lu Jingxuan suddenly pounced on the evidence like crazy, trying to destroy it, but was stopped in time by the bodyguard.

Just when everyone thought that this farce was about to end with Lu Jingxuan's miserable defeat, Jiang Ciyou made a surprising move. In full view of everyone, she pressed the delete key on the computer and completely deleted the evidence that was enough to ruin Lu Jingxuan. For a moment, the conference room fell into a deathly silence, and everyone looked at her in amazement.

Jiang Ciyou turned around and faced everyone. Her voice was calm but revealed an unquestionable strength: "I hope to put an end to what happened today. The Lu family can have its current glory because of unity and inheritance, not infighting. A true heir must have a tolerant mind. I believe that my third brother was just confused for a moment." After that, she looked at Lu Jingxuan with expectation in her eyes: "Third brother, don't make the same mistake again in the future." Lu Jingxuan slumped in the chair, his eyes complicated, with regret, gratitude, and more of disgust for his own behavior.

After the meeting, Jiang Ciyou came to the rooftop of the old house alone, hoping to let the breeze blow away her boredom. But she unexpectedly found Lu Jingchen standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking lonely. She walked up quickly and was about to speak, but she saw Lu Jingchen secretly taking out a bottle of painkillers from his pocket and swallowing a few pills with his head tilted back. Jiang Ciyou was shocked, she knew that Lu Jingchen had developed a lot of illnesses over the years in order to protect her and for the family business, and the old injuries left when he saved her often tortured him.

"Jingchen, why didn't you tell me that you were in pain again?" Jiang Ciyou's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked. Lu Jingchen hurriedly hid the medicine bottle and forced a smile: "It's okay, it's an old problem, I don't want to worry you." Jiang Ciyou walked up and hugged him gently, her tears soaking his clothes: "Silly, we are husband and wife, from now on, no matter what happens, we have to face it together." Lu Jingchen hugged her back, his chin gently rubbing her hair, in this high place of the noisy world, the two hugged each other, as if to integrate each other into their bones and blood, and face the unknown storms of the future together.

As the days gradually returned to peace, Lu Jingxuan seemed to have become a different person. He began to ask Lu Jingchen about business issues and occasionally greeted Jiang Ciyou with an apologetic smile. After experiencing this storm, Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou's relationship became more mature. They walked hand in hand in the garden of the old house, looking at the flowers in the garden and planning the future of the family.

"Ciyou, when everything is settled, let's go out with Xingchen, to the places we always wanted to go but never had the chance to go." Lu Jingchen put his arm around Jiang Ciyou's shoulders, his eyes full of longing. Jiang Ciyou smiled and nodded: "Okay, just the three of us." However, the gears of fate never stopped turning, and a new crisis quietly lurked in the dark, waiting for them...

Soon after, an important technology company under the family was caught in a technology leak crisis. The core research and development data disappeared, and competitors quickly seized market share and the stock price plummeted. Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou rushed around day and night, trying to save the situation. They and the technical team stayed in the laboratory all day, analyzing every data loophole and looking for the source of the leak. With his keen business insight, Jiang Ciyou suspected that the insiders were bribed, so he launched a secret investigation, checking the background of the company's employees and recent financial transactions one by one.

When Lu Jingxuan heard about this, he unexpectedly came forward to help. He brought his personal connections to help Lu Jingchen renegotiate cooperation with the partners, and used his insights in the field of technology to provide new ideas for the R&D team. In this crisis, the three Lu brothers and sisters seemed to be truly on the same front for the first time.

After several weeks of hard work, the leaker was finally found - a mid-level technical backbone who was tempted by a competitor's high salary. After recovering some information and adjusting the R&D direction in a timely manner, the company gradually got out of trouble and the stock price began to rise. At the celebration banquet, Lu Jingchen raised his glass with emotion in his eyes: "This time, thanks to everyone, especially my third brother, the past grievances are now over. In the future, we will work together to make the Lu family move to a higher level." Everyone raised their glasses, and laughter echoed in the banquet hall.

However, Jiang Ciyou was keenly aware that when Lu Jingxuan looked at Lu Jingchen, the gloom that occasionally flashed in his eyes had not completely dissipated. She was secretly alert in her heart, knowing that the harmony within the family might only be a temporary appearance, and deeper contradictions and challenges were still lurking in the dark.

At the same time, Jiang Ciyou's business territory expanded to the international market, but encountered joint suppression from foreign chaebols. Trade barriers and rumors of hostile takeovers followed one after another, and many of her overseas projects came to a standstill. Lu Jingchen did not hesitate to put aside his family affairs and accompany her overseas, shuttling between business conferences and law firms in various countries, using his connections and wisdom accumulated over the years to help Jiang Ciyou solve problems.

At a key business dinner in Paris, facing the sarcasm and difficulties of foreign counterparts, Lu Jingchen won respect and valuable cooperation opportunities for Jiang Ciyou with his fluent foreign language, profound business knowledge and humble attitude. After the meeting, the two strolled along the Seine River, with the moonlight shining on them. Lu Jingchen gently held Jiang Ciyou's hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, we can get through any difficulties together." Jiang Ciyou leaned on his shoulder, feeling touched and powerful.

Back home, the family is faced with the difficult decision of the layout of emerging industries. Lu Jingxuan advocates to vigorously enter the emerging virtual economy field, believing that this is the outlet of the future and can bring huge wealth; while Lu Jingchen is more inclined to steadily develop the real economy, combine the traditional advantages of the family, and create a sustainable industrial chain. At the family meeting, the two people held different opinions and argued endlessly.

Jiang Ciyou listened quietly, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She knew that both directions had risks and opportunities, and the key was how to balance and integrate them. So, she proposed a compromise plan: on the one hand, invest part of the funds to test the virtual economy and cultivate a professional team to conduct cutting-edge technology research; on the other hand, increase investment in R&D and innovation in the core industries of the real economy, enhance product competitiveness, and achieve industrial upgrading.

Her plan was recognized by most of the family members. Although Lu Jingxuan was a little unwilling, he had to admit its rationality. In the subsequent implementation process, Jiang Ciyou was personally responsible for coordinating the two teams, running around factories and technology research and development centers in various places. Lu Jingchen provided her with logistical support and resource support. The two of them once again cooperated tacitly, like a pair of swords in one.

As time went by, the family gradually regained new vitality under the new industrial layout. However, Jiang Ciyou fell ill due to long-term overwork. Lu Jingchen was anxious and put aside all his affairs to stay by her bedside. He personally made porridge and fed her medicine. Looking at her increasingly haggard face, he blamed himself: "Ciyou, it's all my fault. I made you work so hard." Jiang Ciyou held his hand and smiled weakly: "Don't be silly, this is our common business. I'm just tired. Just take a rest."

While Jiang Ciyou was recovering from illness, Lu Jingxuan quietly took over some affairs. He acted more low-key and steady, but he was also secretly cultivating his own power. By chance, Jiang Ciyou discovered some clues, and she realized that Lu Jingxuan might not really give up his obsession with inheritance rights, but just changed his strategy. She discussed privately with Lu Jingchen and decided to make a gentle adjustment to the family power structure again, giving Lu Jingxuan more substantial power and responsibilities, and at the same time strengthening supervision to prevent him from having other intentions again.

This power game and business challenge within the family is like a protracted war without gunpowder. Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou support each other in the wind and rain, resolving crises time and time again. Their love becomes more indestructible in the hardships, and the future of the family is also in their hands, gradually becoming clear but full of variables...
