Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 583: Old Enemy Feels Guilty

The moment Jiang Ciyou's husband's eyes touched Lu Jingchen's figure, an indescribable fear and uneasiness surged in his heart. His face turned pale as paper at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if all the blood in his body had been drained away in an instant, leaving no trace.

His body began to tremble slightly involuntarily, like a leaf in the autumn wind, about to fall. The trembling was slight at first, but became more and more severe as time went on, so that he had to hold on to the back of the chair beside him to barely keep his body steady.

All these reactions were only because he knew deeply that the current Lu Jingchen was no longer the person he remembered as someone who could be bullied and despised. As the son of the richest man, Lu Jingchen represented not only a huge amount of wealth, but also a kind of overwhelming power that was enough to scare people away. That kind of power was so great that ordinary people could not imagine where its boundaries were.

Recalling the contempt and rudeness he had shown towards Lu Jingchen, as well as the foolish thoughts of regarding him as a "pretty boy" who could be trampled on at will, all of these were like extremely sharp steel needles, piercing his heart mercilessly. Each needle penetrated deeply, bringing waves of piercing pain that made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Deep in his mind, the scenes that had happened emerged uncontrollably like a tide. Those scenes were all scenes of his arrogance towards Lu Jingchen, like scars deeply engraved in his memory.

Recalling the wedding night, he resolutely abandoned Jiang Ciyou and left without looking back. However, fate is always full of drama. When he first saw Lu Jingchen appear next to Jiang Ciyou, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. At that time, his face was full of undisguised disdain. His eyes were like sharp swords, scanning Lu Jingchen's seemingly weak body with contempt and disdain. Not only that, he also sneered and said: "A guy like you dare to dream of climbing up to Jiang Ciyou? You are just a pitiful parasite!" His words were full of malice and contempt.

Time flies, and in the days that followed, they occasionally met unexpectedly in some social occasions. Every time they met, he would deliberately find trouble for Lu Jingchen, trying his best to create embarrassing situations for him, trying to make Lu Jingchen look bad in front of everyone. He was immersed in this self-righteous behavior, enjoying the short-term satisfaction brought by belittling others to highlight his so-called superiority.

But now, everything has turned upside down. He was afraid that Lu Jingchen would take revenge on him because of past grievances. This fear was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping his heart. He was worried that the status and wealth he had worked so hard to accumulate would vanish in an instant. Everything that he had obtained through countless calculations and scheming might be wiped out because of Lu Jingchen's idea. He tried to pretend to be calm and straightened his spine, but the slightly trembling fingers and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead ruthlessly exposed his inner panic. His eyes wandered around, and he didn't dare to look Lu Jingchen in the eye, but he couldn't help but secretly glance at him, as if waiting for a storm to come.

He began to think of various countermeasures in his mind, but every idea seemed so pale and powerless under the pressure of Lu Jingchen's powerful aura. He thought about taking the initiative to go forward and please him, but his former arrogance made him really embarrassed; he also thought about simply escaping the banquet, but he was afraid that this would anger Lu Jingchen even more. In this extreme entanglement and fear, he could only watch the danger approach step by step like a prey trapped in a trap, but he had no power to fight back.
