Chapter 368 Jiang Ciyou's Test
Jiang Ciyou spent every day on pins and needles in this seemingly familiar yet strange home. The emotional bond between her and her husband that had been torn apart, even though she tried hard to repair it, was like trying to piece together a broken thread in the wind, with many difficulties.
On this day, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the living room floor, forming streaks of light and shadow. Jiang Ciyou looked at the dust floating in the light and shadow, and suddenly an impulse surged in her heart. She wanted to try to change the status quo and save this family on the verge of breaking up. She carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the table was filled with her husband's favorite dishes. When her husband dragged his tired body back home, he saw the table of food and a flash of surprise flashed across his face, but soon returned to his indifferent expression.
Jiang Ciyou gathered her courage and said to her husband carefully, "Dear, we haven't had a good meal together for a long time. Today, let's enjoy this dinner like we used to." Her husband just nodded slightly, then sat at the table and began to eat silently without saying a word. Jiang Ciyou felt a little disappointed, but she didn't give up.
After dinner, Jiang Ciyou sat on the sofa with her husband. She took a deep breath and said tentatively: "Our life has been a little bad recently, and I think we can make some changes. For example, we can go traveling together, just like we did when we first got married, and find the feeling we had before again." Her eyes were full of expectation, hoping that her husband could give a positive response.
However, the husband seemed to have heard a huge joke. He laughed contemptuously and said, "Do you think we can go back to the past? Do you think a trip can solve the problems between us? You are too naive." His words were like a cold sword, piercing straight into Jiang Ciyou's heart.
Jiang Ciyou's heart suddenly sank, but she still tried to explain: "I know there are many problems between us, but I think we can give it a try. Maybe during the trip, we can get to know each other again and rebuild our relationship." But her husband interrupted her impatiently: "My career is at a critical stage now. How can I have time to travel with you? Can't you think more about my career? You only think about these useless things all day long."
Jiang Ciyou felt very aggrieved. She retorted, "I know your career is important, but family is equally important. We can't just focus on career and ignore each other's feelings." Her husband frowned and raised his voice and said, "What do you know? Without a career, how can we support this family? You just do nothing at home every day, and you want me to travel with you. It's simply wishful thinking."
Such quarrels made Jiang Ciyou realize that the conflict between them was not only due to the previous betrayal, but more because of the huge differences in values and attitudes towards life. She originally thought that as long as she worked hard, she could make this family return to its former warmth, but now she found that all this was just wishful thinking.
A few days later, Jiang Ciyou came up with another idea. She booked two concert tickets in advance. She knew her husband had some interest in music. When she showed the tickets to her husband, she smiled expectantly: "Honey, there is a great concert this weekend. Let's go to it together. This is also a way to relax. Maybe it can make us feel better."
The husband took a look at the ticket and said coldly, "I have an important meeting this weekend and don't have time to go. You go by yourself, or go with your friends." Jiang Ciyou's heart was hit hard again. She felt like a person groping in the dark, unable to find any direction.
She began to reflect on her behavior, was she really too persistent? Maybe this family could not be saved. But she was unwilling to give up, she felt that she should make some more efforts.
After a while, Jiang Ciyou carefully planned a family gathering. She invited some of her husband's friends and relatives, hoping to enhance the family atmosphere in this way. She was busy preparing food and decorating the room, hoping that everything would be perfect.
When the party started, although her husband was also entertaining the guests, his attitude was very cold. Jiang Ciyou tried to get her husband to participate in the conversation and interaction, but he always made excuses. During the party, Jiang Ciyou heard her husband's friends whispering about their relationship, and she felt a pang in her heart.
After the party, the husband said to Jiang Ciyou: "Don't hold these boring parties anymore. I don't like such occasions. There is no point in doing this. The problems between us cannot be solved by these superficial things." Jiang Ciyou's tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said: "I just want our relationship to be better. I don't want our family to break up like this."
The husband looked at her without a trace of sympathy, and just said calmly: "Our problems have existed for a long time, and they can't be changed by what you are doing now. You should think carefully about your own problems." After that, he turned and walked into the study, leaving Jiang Ciyou alone in the living room crying silently.
Jiang Ciyou began to realize that her last glimmer of hope for this family was shattered. She was like a lonely traveler in this family. No matter how hard she tried, she could not enter her husband's inner world. Her efforts were like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response. She felt extremely tired and desperate. She didn't know how long she could hold on, nor did she know where her future lay.
In this family environment full of contradictions and indifference, Jiang Ciyou's heart gradually became numb. She mechanically did housework every day and took care of her husband's daily life, but her eyes lost their former brilliance. She began to miss the days with Lu Jingchen, when she was happy and full of energy. She knew that she could no longer find happiness in this family, and she began to think about whether she should bravely take that step, leave this cold home, and find a life that truly belongs to her.
