Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 969: Confession in the Time Capsule

Scene: It's the daughter's 18th birthday. The Lu family mansion is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The pink and white balloons in the garden are intertwined into a dreamy ocean, and the flower arch exudes a rich fragrance. The laughter of relatives and friends echoes in every corner, and servants shuttle around with exquisite snacks and champagne. In the hall, a long table covered with a velvet tablecloth is particularly eye-catching. On the table is an exquisite silver time capsule, which sparkles with a mysterious luster under the light. It is quietly waiting to be opened, and is about to reveal a memory that has been sealed for ten years.

plot:

- As night falls and the stars twinkle, the lights in the garden light up one by one, like a dreamland. Lu Xingchen is wearing a gorgeous white evening dress, the hem of her skirt fluttering like a cloud. Her face is filled with the radiance of youth, and her eyes are full of longing and curiosity for the adult world. Jiang Ciyou took Lu Jingchen's arm and walked gracefully to the stage in the center of the garden. She was wearing a dark blue slim-fitting long skirt with a long hem that dragged on the ground, outlining her graceful figure. The years did not seem to leave too many traces on her face, but instead added a bit of maturity and charm. Lu Jingchen was wearing a well-cut black suit, with an upright posture and still handsome. In his deep eyes, there were only the figures of Jiang Ciyou and his daughter.

- Friends and relatives gathered around and applauded. Xingchen stood on the stage, picked up the microphone with trembling hands, and her voice was crisp and sweet: "Dear Mom and Dad, and all the relatives and friends present, thank you for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony. Today, I not only ushered in a new starting point in my life, but also a special ceremony - opening the time capsule we buried ten years ago." As she spoke, she looked at her parents in the audience, her eyes flashing with emotion and expectation.

- Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked onto the stage hand in hand, and the three of them came to the time capsule together. Lu Jingchen squatted down gently and carefully opened the capsule, and the memories that had been sealed for ten years instantly came to his face. The first thing that caught his eye was a yellowed photo album with a big heart on the cover surrounded by roses. Xingchen couldn't wait to open the album, which contained photos that recorded her growth moments, from a babbling baby to a graceful young girl today. Behind each photo is the love and companionship of her parents. There was a photo of her playing on the beach when she was five years old. She accidentally fell and cried. Lu Jingchen picked her up anxiously, and Jiang Ciyou gently wiped the sand off her face. The smiles of the three were particularly bright in the sun.

- Then, Xingchen took out a pink envelope with "To the future Xingchen" written on it.

She gently tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter, unfolded it and read: "Dear Xingchen, when you open this letter, you have grown up and are about to start your own wonderful life. Mom and Dad want to tell you that you are the most precious gift in our lives. Watching you grow up little by little, we are extremely pleased."

When he read this, Xingchen's eyes became moist, and the guests in the audience couldn't help but be moved.

- Jiang Ciyou's gaze always fell tenderly on her daughter, and she gently stroked Xingchen's hair.

At this time, Lu Jingchen took out an exquisite wooden box from the capsule. After opening it, there was a dazzling diamond necklace inside. The pendant of the necklace was a star, which echoed the name of Xingchen.

Lu Jingchen walked behind his daughter, gently put the necklace on her, and said, "This is the adult gift your parents gave you. I hope you will always shine like a star."

Xingchen turned around moved and hugged his parents tightly.

- While sorting out the items in the time capsule, Jiang Ciyou found a neatly folded envelope. The familiar handwriting on the envelope made her heart tremble suddenly - it was Lu Jingchen's handwriting.

She quietly hid the envelope in her palm, and waited until the guests went to enjoy dinner before she found a quiet corner and opened it alone.

The handwriting on the letter paper was a little faded, but still clearly legible: "If one day I leave first, please don't be sad, because my soul will turn into moonlight, kissing your window forever. I know that life is full of variables, but I have never regretted meeting you and falling in love with you. From the moment we met, you were like a beam of light, illuminating my originally chaotic world. Do you still remember your despair after being betrayed on your wedding night? I felt so distressed when I saw it, and I vowed to spend my whole life to heal your pain. Over the years, we have experienced ups and downs together, and every difficulty made us hold each other's hands more firmly. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you will go on bravely, with our love, and continue to shine."

Jiang Ciyou's tears burst out, dripping onto the letter paper and blurring the words.

She thought of those difficult days, when Lu Jingchen always stayed by her side, never leaving her side, and used his love to build a solid line of defense for her.

- Meanwhile, Xingchen returned to her room, where she wanted to sort out her thoughts and calm her excitement.

On the desk, she saw a painting, which was "Mom and Dad's Love" she drew when she was a child.

In the painting, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen are standing hand in hand in a thorn bush. Under their feet, roses are blooming, gorgeous and tempting.

The thorns represent the hardships and setbacks they have encountered along the way, while the roses symbolize their indestructible love.

Xingchen gently stroked the scroll, recalling the stories her parents told her when she was a child, how they supported each other in difficult times, how they built their own business empire step by step, and how they used love to warm each other and those around them.

She knows very well that she grew up in a loving family and that her parents' love is her most precious wealth.

- Halfway through the dinner, Lu Jingchen discovered that Jiang Ciyou was missing, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart.

After searching everywhere, I found her crying alone in a corner of the garden.

He walked quickly forward, gently embraced her in his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong, dear?"

Jiang Ciyou raised her head, her eyes full of emotion and affection. She handed the letter in her hand to Lu Jingchen and said with a sob, "When did you write this? I didn't know you had been thinking so much about me."

Lu Jingchen took the letter, glanced at it, and smiled gently: "It was a long time ago. I just want you to know that no matter what happens, my love for you will not change."

He gently wiped away the tears from Jiang Ciyou's face, and the two embraced each other in the moonlight, as if time had stopped for them.

- Just then, Xingchen also came to the garden. Seeing her parents hugging each other, her heart was filled with warmth.

She walked forward and whispered, "Mom and Dad, I love you so much. Today's coming-of-age ceremony is the most unforgettable moment in my life. Thank you for giving me so much love."

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen let go of each other, turned around and hugged Xingchen in their arms.

The family of three hugged each other tightly, and the moonlight shone on them, outlining a warm and beautiful picture.

- Suddenly, Lu Jingchen's cell phone vibrated. He subconsciously took it out to check, and his expression instantly became solemn.

Jiang Ciyou noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jingchen hesitated for a moment and handed the phone to Jiang Ciyou.

What was displayed on the screen was a hospital examination report. Jiang Ciyou took a closer look and his heart sank - it was a cancer diagnosis.

The date above shows that Lu Jingchen was actually diagnosed three years ago.

She looked up in disbelief, looked at Lu Jingchen, and said in a trembling voice: "Why did you hide it from me? How did you survive these three years?"

Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's hand, his eyes firm and gentle: "I don't want to make you worry. Seeing you and Xingchen happy every day, I feel that every day is earned. Moreover, I have been actively receiving treatment, and I believe we can definitely defeat the disease."

Jiang Ciyou's tears welled up again, and she hugged Lu Jingchen tightly, as if she wanted to give him strength with her arms.

Xingchen also understood what happened. She held back her tears, hugged her parents, and said softly, "Dad, you will get better. Our family will be together forever."

Lu Jingchen patted his daughter's back gently, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xingchen, Daddy won't leave you easily."

- At this moment, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, and the flowers in the garden swayed gently in the breeze, as if cheering them on. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, the love of their family was like the moonlight, gentle and firm, enough to illuminate any dark corner. They returned to the dinner hand in hand, and the guests saw their red and swollen eyes. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they tacitly did not ask more questions.

Lu Jingchen picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you all for coming to Xingchen's coming-of-age ceremony. Today is a special day for our family. Not only because Xingchen has grown up, but also because we have a deeper understanding of the importance of family. Whether the road ahead is smooth or bumpy, we will walk it together."

There was warm applause from the audience and the guests raised their glasses to give them their most sincere blessings.

Jiang Ciyou and Xingchen stood beside Lu Jingchen, their eyes full of determination and courage for the future. They knew that as long as the family was together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
