The Secret of Second Marriage

Xue Fan's wrist was grabbed by Yu Xiang and pressed down on the table, rendering him completely immobile.

Yang Yufei was furious. She quickly pushed Yu Xiang away, then helped Xue Fan up, saying, "What are you doing on such a joyous day? Are you here to cause trouble?"

After she finished speaking, she glared at me fiercely: "Jiang Man, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You brought these people here today just to vent your anger, right?"

"Think what you want. We've eaten and drunk, so I wish you and Xue Fan a long and happy life together, that you two are bound together forever, and that you never go out and harm anyone else."

I say.

After I finished speaking, I picked up my coat and helped President Jiang prepare to leave this ridiculous wedding scene.

Yang Yufei shouted, "What are you so arrogant about? You're just a woman abandoned by her husband. If you're so capable, then let President Jiang marry you first!"

"Jiang Man, you divorced woman, you're nothing but a cheap, used shoe, a secondhand item. Do you really think anyone would want you?"

"And what about you? Who do you think you are? Seducing someone else's husband, Yang Yufei, you're a whore!"

I took a deep breath, turned to look at Yang Yufei, and suddenly gave a cold smile.

My words stung Yang Yufei's heart.

At her wedding, everyone was laughing at her, and no one spoke up for her.

Yang Yufei's eyes reddened with anger.

But she still helped Xue Fan and took him to rest.

It was only at this moment that I realized that Yang Yufei might have truly loved and admired my husband.

She felt that they were truly in love.

So she stole my husband without any guilt, and even thought I was her defeated opponent. She was smug and self-satisfied in front of me.

Yang Yufei and Xue Fan planned to have me attend their wedding, but actually it was to give me a hard time and make me embarrass myself at the wedding.

But to my surprise, I had already let it go.

Xue Fan is completely dead to me now.

I've started a new life with my daughter.

I realized that, at some point, I had emerged from the shadow of my divorce.

Although I still hate scumbags and mistresses, I won't spend my days crying and living in pain because of them. The best revenge I can take on these two scoundrels is to live a good life.

Mr. Jiang was already staggering and his body went limp. He leaned on my shoulder and I used all my strength to support him. I have to say, a drunk person can be really heavy.

He downed a whole bottle of baijiu without even blinking, and now his stomach is churning so badly he can barely stand.

I said, "President Jiang, why are you drinking so much liquor? Xue Fan is a scumbag. There's no need to fight with someone like that for a moment. There's plenty of time in the future."

"Drink less; drinking so much is bad for your health. You must feel terrible now that you're drunk. Don't do this again next time."

"Man, I really enjoyed this drink today."

Jiang said this while he was half-drunk and half-awake.

He suddenly grabbed my hand and stopped me in front of everyone. Then he took a deep breath, asked the emcee for a microphone, and said to everyone with deep affection and from the bottom of his heart, "Man, we've known each other for almost seven years. With these drinks, I want to tell you what's on my mind."

I suddenly had a premonition of what this man was going to say next. In such a public setting, he gave me plenty of face and a sense of anticipation.

……

The audience was silent.

My husband's relatives, all his aunts and uncles, all looked in our direction.

At this moment, President Jiang held my hand, his cold and handsome face showing a gentle and sincere expression. He gazed at me for a long time and spoke his heart in a deep voice: "Man, seven years have passed since I first saw you."

I know you are a good woman. I know you struggled in this city with your ex-husband for 10 years.

From having nothing to owning two villas, driving a BMW X6, and living the life of a wealthy wife.

You quit your job, which was at the peak of your career, in order to be a good housewife.

Your heart is always with your children and husband, and I see that. You are a woman of very, very good character...

I used to see you frequently share videos of yourself cooking, growing flowers, plants, cats, and dogs on your WeChat Moments.

I've been fantasizing that if I met such a wonderful woman, and we could build a family together and live a happy life, wouldn't my life have been worthwhile?

Man, I've loved you deeply for six years, and that has never changed. Even when you were divorced with a daughter, I never gave up loving you... Now that you're single, will you be my girlfriend?

I'm truly willing to give everything for you. Even if you want to act again in the future, I'll be with you and support you! I'll go to the ends of the earth with you. I love you!

My brain seemed to explode and I was stunned.

I never expected that President Jiang, a man who is not calm and composed, would confess his feelings to me in such a public setting.

Is everyone waiting for my answer? I feel genuinely treated and loved, and I feel warm and respected.

I know that President Jiang chose this occasion to confess to me today because she wanted my ex-husband to know that he would love me well, and also to let everyone know that I, Jiang Man, am not miserable after my divorce.

There is a man who loves me very much and has always been by my side...

I haven't answered him yet.

Mr. Jiang continued, "Man, we are both mature and respectable middle-aged people. I know that for a 30-year-old woman, a love life without a house or a car is something she can't afford to struggle with."

So, I waited until I had achieved success in my career before thinking about settling down and finding a partner. With you by my side, I will protect you and give you everything I have now.

I know what you women want most is a sense of security. I promise I'll give you a good life, make you laugh, make you happy, and make you blissful! Will you accept my confession?

Xue Fan, his eyes red with anger, witnessed this scene from a short distance away, and his heart felt like it was about to explode.

That's true. I used to be a full-time housewife, spending all my time in the kitchen, mopping, washing clothes, and cleaning. I looked like a haggard old woman.

Xue Fan found a young and beautiful mistress outside. In order to have an affair with her, he ruthlessly wanted me to divorce him and leave with nothing.

He thought that after I divorced him, no one would want me and I would live a miserable life.

But I never expected that I would be such a resilient woman. After the divorce, I lost weight, got fit, learned to dance, and even acted in movies, becoming even more glamorous.

He regretted it.

He truly regretted it.

Because from any perspective, Mr. Jiang and I are the most compatible.

We are a perfect match, both in spirit and appearance. Standing together, we create a comfortable and beautiful atmosphere.

Xue Fan felt as if his heart was about to explode. He walked over step by step, stood in front of me, looked into my eyes, and said, "Man, you can't accept his confession. Have you forgotten all the beautiful things we've been through?... I loved you. You're my wife, how can you fall for another man?"

Yang Yufei grabbed him, crying, "Xue Fan, what about me? What am I? Didn't you say you loved me the most? Didn't you say your wife was just a haggard old woman?"

She's like a dead fish in your presence, conservative and proper, with absolutely no fun. Haven't you stopped loving her a long time ago? Didn't you despise her?

Yang Yufei couldn't hold back her tears.

Xue Fan remained silent for a moment before finally speaking in a more coherent way: "Yufei, stop making a fuss, okay? She's my wife. She's been with me for 10 years. She supported me in pursuing my postgraduate studies, then became a full-time housewife, encouraged me to get promotions and raises, and spent a lot of time and effort helping me with social interactions during holidays."

I divorced her; it was my fault. After all, we were once husband and wife, she was once my woman. How could I just watch her fall in love with another man?

I swore to the heavens and said with absolute certainty: "Xue Fan, we are divorced. I am no longer your wife."

If you hadn't called Tangtang over today, I wouldn't have come to your wedding at all.

To me, you're not even worth a pile of dog poop on the street. I swear to God, I will never forgive you in this lifetime, and I will never have anything to do with a scumbag like you again.

Remarriage? Dream on.

I, Jiang Man, will never fall in love with an ungrateful scumbag who has hurt me time and time again.

President Jiang must have come prepared today.

He took out a beautifully crafted gift box from his pocket and opened it in front of me. Inside was a crystal ring set with diamonds.

I saw an absolutely stunning diamond ring that shone brilliantly under the hotel lights.

This diamond ring weighs approximately ten carats, and by today's market standards, it is indeed quite valuable.

Mr. Jiang spoke frankly to me, saying, "Man, this diamond ring was designed for us by the best jeweler in China. There's only one in the world, and the back of the ring is engraved with our initials."

I named it, to represent my deepest love… My love for you is pure and sincere, like crystal… Man, could you give me a chance to put this ring on your finger myself?

As I looked at the ring that President Jiang had given me, tears welled up in my eyes.

Everyone is waiting for my answer.

I overheard my husband's former relatives whispering behind my back.

"My God! That man looks really rich, and he's handsome, way more handsome than Xue Fan, with a great physique. He's tall and imposing, gives off a sense of security, and he's so good at treating women!"

"Yes, she just threw in a 10g diamond ring. It should be worth over ten thousand."

"Jiang Man is so lucky. She's so beautiful now I almost don't recognize her. I saw her in a short drama a while ago, and now she's a star. No wonder men are chasing after her!"

"Yes, I heard she didn't have a good life with her in-laws. She had to buy groceries, cook, and take care of the children every day, and her mother-in-law still disliked her. Her father-in-law was always away on business trips and didn't care about anything at home."

"She's finally made it through the tough times. After her divorce, her life has improved, and she's finding love again. On the other hand, her husband's career has been declining ever since he got together with his mistress. Now he's bringing this vixen into the house; he might go bankrupt in a few years."

"He deserves to mistreat his wife; he'll never accumulate wealth! His wife worked so hard together, finally managing to build some fortune, and then he turned around and cheated on her, keeping a mistress. Even God wouldn't stand for that!"

Amidst the whispers of the crowd, I seemed to see the day of the divorce, when I was crying, and President Jiang gently wiped away my tears and said to me, "It's okay, I'm here."

All the attention at the wedding was on Mr. Jiang and me.

Xue Fan and Yang Yufei were instead relegated to the role of bystanders.

The dim, golden light from the crystal chandelier shone down on us, and I reached out to take the ring…
