Chapter 345 Jiang Ciyou's Husband's Struggle
Jiang Ciyou's husband, the man she had been married to, was now in unprecedented panic and struggle. He watched his carefully planned conspiracy fall apart like a house of cards under the revelation and counterattack of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen.
He originally thought that everything was perfect. He was jealous that Jiang Ciyou could still have such a successful business cooperation with Lu Jingchen after leaving him, and that the relationship between them seemed to be getting deeper in their joint struggle. This jealousy twisted his heart, making him willing to collude with his competitors and stab Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen from behind. He thought he could reap the benefits of this conspiracy, both hitting them and making huge profits from it.
However, things did not go as he expected. As Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen investigated in depth, more and more evidence pointed to him. The abnormal transaction records within the company were like a clear clue, closely linking him with the accounts of his competitors. Those suspicious flows of funds were like indelible traces, ruthlessly revealing his crimes. And his frequent secret meetings with the top executives of the competitor company became the most conspicuous connection point in the entire conspiracy framework.
When the court accepted the case filed by Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen against him and his competitors for infringing on trade secrets, he truly realized that he was in a desperate situation. The public opinion in the business community surged towards him like a surging tide, and he instantly became the target of public criticism. Those competitors who had conspired with him behind his back also began to stay away from him, fearing that they would be implicated more deeply by him.
He tried to distance himself from his competitors. He began to run around and plead with those who had colluded with him. He waited outside their offices, his eyes full of despair and pleading. He told them that he was just a pawn being used, trying to put all the blame on his competitors. However, those people rejected him coldly. They didn't want to get themselves into a deeper quagmire because of him.
In business, he saw that Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's companies had achieved initial success in their new market development plans, while the conspiracy he was involved in put his own company in a passive position. His partners began to doubt him, and some contracts originally signed with him were also at risk of being terminated. His company's stock price plummeted, and shareholders became increasingly dissatisfied with him. They began to question his leadership ability and demanded that he give a reasonable explanation.
But deep in his heart, what he found most difficult to accept was Jiang Ciyou's attitude towards him. He thought of the days when he was with Jiang Ciyou. Although their marriage eventually broke down, he always believed that he still had a certain place in Jiang Ciyou's heart. He thought that as long as he apologized sincerely, Jiang Ciyou might forgive him for their past relationship. So he decided to muster up the courage to face Jiang Ciyou.
He carefully selected a time and place, which was a coffee shop they had been to together before. He arrived early and sat in that familiar corner, feeling mixed emotions. When Jiang Ciyou appeared, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he stood up nervously. The moment Jiang Ciyou saw him, there was only indifference and disgust in his eyes.
He stammered, trying to apologize to Jiang Ciyou: "Ciyou, I... I know I was wrong. I was blinded by the interests, and I really didn't think it would cause such serious consequences. I... I hope you can forgive me."
Jiang Ciyou looked at him coldly, his heart filled with anger: "What do you think is the point of your apology now? For your own benefit, you betrayed me and everything we had. Do you know how much damage you have caused to me and the company?"
He tried to defend himself: "I was really obsessed at the time. I saw that your and Lu Jingchen's company was developing so well, and I felt unbalanced. I thought this would help me get back on my feet, but I didn't expect to hurt you so deeply."
Jiang Ciyou snorted disdainfully: "Don't make your selfishness and greed sound so high-sounding. You have never thought about my feelings, nor about our past relationship. You only see the benefits, and you can do anything for that little benefit."
His face turned pale, and he knew how powerless his apology was in Jiang Ciyou's eyes. He began to recall their past marriage life, and those beautiful memories were like knives piercing his heart. He remembered Jiang Ciyou's tenderness and trust in him when they just got married, and she always silently supported and encouraged him when he encountered difficulties. But he destroyed all of this with his own hands.
He added: "Ciyou, I know it's too late for me to say anything now. But I really want to make up for my mistake. I can do my best to help you and Lu Jingchen's company recover the losses. I can do anything to prove my sincerity."
Jiang Ciyou interrupted him coldly: "Do you think I will still believe you? You have completely lost my trust. Your actions have made me see your true colors. You are a selfish, greedy, and unscrupulous person. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
After saying that, Jiang Ciyou turned and left, leaving him standing there alone. He looked at Jiang Ciyou's departing back, his heart filled with regret. He knew that he had lost Jiang Ciyou forever, not only her love, but also her respect and trust.
He returned to his company and felt unprecedented helplessness in the face of the shareholders' accusations and the company's difficulties. He tried to find a solution, but his reputation had been ruined in the business world and no one was willing to cooperate with him. His company began to face the danger of a broken capital chain, and the employees were also panicked and began to look for new ways out.
He began to reflect on his life, and he realized that his greed and jealousy had led him to this road of no return. He once had a wife who loved him and a good company, but because of his momentary greed, he destroyed all of it. He spent every day in regret, and was often awakened by nightmares at night. In his dreams, Jiang Ciyou's angry eyes and the scene of the company's bankruptcy constantly tortured him.
He tried to pick himself up and try to salvage the situation through his own efforts. He began to personally look for new business opportunities and visited his former partners, hoping that they would give him a chance. However, most people turned the door away from him, and the few who did meet him were just sarcastic and dismissive of his proposals.
He fell into deep self-doubt and didn't know where to go. He looked at himself in the mirror and found that his hair had turned gray in just a few days, and his eyes were full of fatigue and despair. His former confidence and pride had disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless inferiority and regret.
He thought of his childhood dream, how pure and hopeful he was at that time. He wanted to make a name for himself in the business world through his own efforts, and he wanted to be a respected businessman. But now, he has become a despicable villain despised by others. His dream has become so fragile and vulnerable in the face of his greed and jealousy.
He knew that his struggle might be in vain in the end. He had made an unforgivable mistake and he had to bear the consequences of his actions. But he still felt unwilling to give up so easily. He was still trying to find a possible turning point, even though it seemed so slim.
