The Secret of Second Marriage

I returned to my original company to report for duty.

To attend this interview, I wore a stylish light blue suit, put my long, black hair up in a bun, and wore light makeup.

I don't want the people from my old company to see my颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, haggard, and worn-out) and 黄脸妇 (黄脸妇 ...

Before going to the interview, I glanced at myself in the bathroom mirror, and I thought I looked pretty perfect.

She has a well-proportioned figure, delicate features, and fair skin, exuding a mature and sexy charm.

The light blue suit perfectly accentuated my slightly elegant temperament.

I stared blankly at myself in the mirror before leaving the office restroom.

The receptionist led me inside.

The company is now quite large, with several floors of offices.

President Jiang is busy.

However, he had already spoken to HR.

After President Jiang finishes his meeting, he will personally interview me.

I thought about it, and the last time I saw my husband taking his mistress to a class reunion at the hotel entrance...

I didn't have an invitation and was stopped at the door from getting in, but President Jiang helped me get in.

I want to say thank you to him.

I waited until almost 10 o'clock before President Jiang's meeting finally ended.

He interviewed me in his office.

With gentle eyes and a faint smile on my face, I took a deep breath and went inside.

My husband cheated on me, but I still have to live my life.

I don't have that much time for sentimentality.

President Jiang was handsome and possessed a gentle demeanor.

He was dressed in a simple suit, looking elegant, handsome, and neat.

I went into his office and said thank you.

He poured me a cup of tea.

He seemed to have just finished a meeting and was a bit tired. He took out some medicated oil from his office drawer, smelled it, and felt much better.

I said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for what happened last time."

Jiang Hui tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the desk and said, "It's alright. When I was starting my business, Miss Jiang helped me a lot."

"If you hadn't resigned, Ms. Jiang, with your abilities, you would be the company's CFO right now."

Yes, I suddenly remembered that I used to be a successful white-collar worker.

Jiang Hui suddenly asked me, "You're doing great as a full-time housewife, why did you suddenly decide to look for a job?"

"I'm sorry, this is a private matter and I can't talk about it."

I can't possibly tell the whole world that my husband is cheating on me and has a mistress.

When I sacrificed my career to become a full-time housewife, my colleagues envied me for finding a good husband.

I don't want anyone to see my wounds.

Seeing this, Jiang Hui didn't ask any more questions.

I said sorry to bother you, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, President Jiang called me to a stop.

Mr. Jiang said, "As I said before, Ms. Su can return to the company at any time. She can continue with her previous accounting work, with full social insurance and housing fund benefits, and a monthly salary of 8000. How does that sound?"

I said to President Jiang, "Okay."

Mr. Jiang had HR sign a contract with me, gave me the keys to the villa, took me for a medical check-up, and completed the onboarding procedures.

In the afternoon, I went to pick up my daughter and take her home.

I told my daughter I had found a job, and she was very happy.

Around 6 p.m., I brought my daughter home. As soon as we entered, I saw my parents-in-law, my brother-in-law, and my sister-in-law.

My husband must have given me the key; he arranged for someone to pick them up from the station.

My husband sent me a WeChat message saying that my dad is in the city for surgery and won't be back tonight because he has a social engagement. He asked me to cook a nice meal for my parents, brother, and sister-in-law.

My mother-in-law brought a lot of local specialties from her hometown.

After my husband's career took off, he bought my mother-in-law and brother-in-law a villa worth millions in their hometown county, and also a car worth 50.

My mother-in-law has been helping my brother-in-law take care of his children all these years.

I get annoyed whenever I see her.

When my husband and I got married, she didn't contribute any money or effort.

Later, my husband's career had just begun to take off.

She came over and asked my husband to lend her younger brother money for his wedding, asking for 50 yuan right off the bat.

I disagree.

She started throwing a tantrum, pretending to be sick and saying, "Your brother wants to get married, if your older brother and sister-in-law don't help him, who will?"

Life was noisy and chaotic.

My husband secretly gave my mother-in-law a lot of money.

She had just returned to her hometown.

She didn't take care of me during my postpartum period.

I've completely lost heart towards her.

In the past, out of respect for my husband, I would cook a hearty dinner for the elderly couple, complete with both vegetables and meat.

But I'm not in the mood for it now.

I took out my phone and ordered takeout for them.

The mother-in-law said, "My son works so hard every day to earn money, and he's still working overtime so late. Why don't you cook something nice and make a bowl of hot soup to take to his company?"

I said, "Their company has a dinner party, so I don't need to bring them food!"

My mother-in-law had a gloomy face, as if she felt that I had not fulfilled my responsibilities as a wife.

After my parents-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law moved the luggage to the guest room and I took a shower, the takeout arrived.

I brought the takeout in, put it on the table, and let them eat.

I ordered their hometown's braised pork, roast duck, lotus root and pork rib stew, and stir-fried greens.

After they finished eating, they complained that the food outside was not good, not as good as what they cooked themselves, and also expensive.

I ignored them and pulled my daughter back to the room to help her with her homework.

My husband came home at 9 p.m., which is unusual for him.

He went back to his room with his parents to talk quietly.

After I put my daughter to sleep, I came out and cleaned up the leftover food on the table and put it in the trash can.

I was about to go back to my bedroom to sleep when I heard my mother-in-law's high-pitched voice coming from under the door of the guest room.

"Son, look at your wife, she stays at home all day doing nothing and just enjoys a life of leisure."

She was too lazy to even cook when we arrived, and ordered takeout instead. I really don't know how you found a woman like that! Let me tell you, our trip here was all about getting your dad's surgery and getting her to have a second child..."

I immediately stopped and took out my phone to start recording.

I know that my in-laws have never treated me like one of their own since I married into this family.

The elderly couple always favored their second child.

However, for all these years, they have been living with the second son.

My husband will lend them money to buy a house and also subsidize his younger brother.

I turn a blind eye to it.

My husband gave a weak "shh".

The mother-in-law said unhappily, "Son, what's there to be afraid of her not hearing? I've disliked her for a long time. You're busy working every day, working yourself to the bone to earn money. She just stays at home enjoying herself, why should she?"

My husband said, "She has indeed changed a lot recently. She used to be virtuous and family-oriented, but now she's become extravagant with money. Mom, I'll talk to her about it when I have the chance."

That cold and selfish tone instantly chilled my blood.

It took me 10 years of marriage to truly see the person I was sharing my bed with.

The mother-in-law said, "Son, listen to your mother. A life with one son and one daughter is a perfect life. A second child is the best gift for the eldest. Anyway, she has nothing to do at home all day, so why not let her get pregnant with a second child?"

My husband said, "She said she doesn't want to have a second child."

The mother-in-law snorted coldly: "I knew it was because she didn't want to have children. In our generation, everyone had several children. She's so precious."

My father-in-law said, "Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble."

My mother-in-law still harbored resentment, saying, "His daughter-in-law is so shameless, she really thinks she's a rich lady, living in a big house, wearing gold and silver. She needs to be taught a lesson..."
