The Secret of Second Marriage

After shaking hands, I shifted my body slightly and led President Jiang to our seats.

As I turned around, I saw a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in Xia Weiwei's eyes.

Xia Weiwei and her friends also came over and took their seats.

During this time, someone looked at me, then at Xia Weiwei, and said with a smile, "You two look so alike. If you walked down the street, people who didn't know you would think you were sisters."

I sat at the table quietly eating my food, without responding to the topic.

Because I don't like it when people compare me to Xia Weiwei, it makes me feel like I'm Xia Weiwei's stand-in.

Xia Weiwei reacted strongly, her face turning pale instantly, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled involuntarily, as if she was afraid of something.

President Jiang said, "Miss Xia is a proud and dazzling red rose, while Man is a low-key and elegant orchid. They are not alike at all."

"Mr. Jiang, do you prefer red roses or orchids?"

Someone posed a difficult question to President Jiang at the dinner party.

Mr. Jiang used his chopsticks to pick up my favorite dish, braised chicken with bamboo shoots, and put the chicken leg into my bowl, saying, "Of course I prefer my current girlfriend. I like orchids; they are not gaudy or showy, but their fragrance lingers in the valley."

For some reason, Xia Weiwei's eyes suddenly reddened.

The hotel was very warm, and my face turned red in no time.

While discussing business with the guests, Mr. Jiang took off his coat, revealing a white shirt and a mature and composed demeanor, and peeled shrimp for me.

He peeled the shrimp shells, put the meat on my plate, and said to me, "Man, try this shrimp, it tastes good."

I put the shrimp in my mouth and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and it was really delicious.

Seeing that I liked to eat, Mr. Jiang spent the whole evening peeling shrimp for me, except when he was entertaining the bosses.

The bosses could also tell that President Jiang treated me very well and spoiled me like his girlfriend.

Gradually, they became much more polite to me, occasionally asking what my profession was and how I met President Jiang. They even said they wanted to attend my and President Jiang's wedding.

Xia Weiwei couldn't stand it anymore.

She felt that all of this should have been her moment in the spotlight.

If she hadn't left without saying goodbye and abandoned President Jiang to study abroad back then...

Xia Weiwei smiled reservedly, drank a glass of red wine, and wore a red dress. She was very thin.

She sat there all night drinking alone.

By the time the party ended, Xia Weiwei was already a little drunk.

Lin Yan, Xia Weiwei, and several other business owners that President Jiang had particularly good relationships with in the business world suggested that since it was still early after dinner, they should go to a KTV to sit down, sing some songs, have a drink, and catch up with each other.

President Jiang gently declined, holding my hand, saying, "Man and I are heading back early."

But the other party couldn't refuse their hospitality, and holding Mr. Jiang's hand, said, "You never attend the social events I ask you to; you always finish your dinners early and go home to be with your girlfriend. Today, I finally see your girlfriend in person. She's absolutely stunning!"

You have to treat us tonight! We're all waiting to drink your wedding wine with the beautiful lady!

Mr. Jiang glanced at me and said, "I have a girlfriend now, and she will be my wife in the future. I'd like to ask my wife's opinion."

In front of so many people, I nodded and agreed.

After all, President Jiang still needs to maintain relationships with his business associates.

We're all adults in our thirties, so I know very well what to say in what situation.

President Jiang said, "I listen to my wife."

"Get the money ready, it's on the bill tonight, Mr. Jiang. Congratulations on finding a partner."

Those few friends joked.

Our group then drove to a bar. The bar was brightly lit and bustling with activity. I didn't know what to say, so I just remained silent.

Xia Weiwei and Lin Yan chatted and laughed, but they would occasionally glance at President Jiang.

President Jiang stayed by my side the whole time, silently supporting me.

What I didn't expect was that Xia Weiwei, a rich young lady, would actually go to such lengths in a bar to win back President Jiang.

She went to the restroom to change from the red dress into a white halter-neck mini-skirt, then went on stage and performed a high-energy pole dance. Her alluring figure and stunning physique were truly remarkable.

After she finished dancing, everyone in the audience cheered, and many rich second-generation kids came up to her, offering their business cards and wanting to pursue Xia Weiwei.

Seeing his ex-girlfriend like this, President Jiang actually felt relieved.

He took my hand and pulled me into his arms, kissing my forehead through the surging crowd as we turned our backs, saying, "Man, thank you for always being with me!"
