Chapter 589: Dilemma and Confusion
Chapter 589: Dilemma and Confusion
Jiang Ciyou stood in a quiet corner of the venue like a statue, the air around her seemed to have frozen into thick ice, making her feel suffocated and depressed. The gazes that were once full of admiration and admiration have now disappeared without a trace, replaced by deep suspicion and undisguised contempt. She felt like a lonely person abandoned by the whole world, isolated and helpless with nowhere to hide.
The reputation she had worked so hard to build and cherish was now as fragile as a lonely boat struggling in a storm. The merciless wind and waves hit the side of the boat violently, and every impact made the boat shaky, as if it would be completely swallowed up by the surging waves in the next second and sink forever in the vast ocean.
At the same time, the career she had built up through years of hard work was like a towering building whose foundation had begun to loosen. All kinds of malicious rumors kept pouring in like a tide, hitting this supposedly indestructible building wave after wave, causing it to shake violently in the wind and rain, and it could collapse at any time, turning into a pile of rubble.
At this moment, Jiang Ciyou's mind was like a tangled mess, with complicated thoughts intertwined and tangled together, like silk threads that were tangled up wantonly. No matter how hard she tried to sort them out, she couldn't sort them out. Fear, confusion, helplessness and other negative emotions all rushed into her mind, making her almost breathless.
She knew that this crisis was different from the past. She had been able to survive past setbacks with her tenacity and wisdom, but now, the malicious slanderous rumors were like an invisible yet indestructible net that bound her tightly and made it impossible for her to break free. She tried to find a clue to the solution in this chaotic thought, but found that her heart was shrouded in a thick fog of confusion.
She slowly raised her head, and her eyes involuntarily turned to Lu Jingchen. His eyes were still full of affection and concern, but she couldn't help but have doubts. She had left decisively before, which had caused him such deep hurt. Although he now kept saying that he wanted to protect herself, could this just be his momentary impulse or a means of revenge? If she devoted herself to this relationship again, once he changed his mind or left her for other reasons in the future, how would she bear this second blow? Moreover, he now had a special identity, and the interests involved were intricate. Could she really integrate into his world and face all the storms in the future with him?
Jiang Ciyou was struggling painfully. On the one hand, her feelings for Lu Jingchen were gradually recovering, but on the other hand, the pain of the past and the fear of the uncertainty of the future were always with her. She didn't know where to go, like a traveler who had lost his way in a dark maze, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers.
In this noisy party, she seemed to be in a lonely wasteland. Her past dreams and future plans became blurred at this moment. She began to reflect on her choices along the way, whether every decision was too hasty, which led to this predicament. However, time cannot be reversed, and she can only try to find a way out of the predicament and lead to happiness in this confusion, but she has no idea where this road is.
