The Secret of Second Marriage

I wasn't really sure myself, and for a moment I wanted to leave the bar. I genuinely didn't want to face Xia Weiwei.

I just want to feel better; I don't want to witness anyone's past.

During the time I was filming, I saw President Jiang and Xia Weiwei attending a business charity gala together.

They both frequent Beijing's business districts, so they were bound to run into each other sooner or later.

I heard that Xia Weiwei has returned to China.

She seemed to still have feelings for President Jiang, and even knowing that he had a girlfriend, she still wanted to get back together with him!

But President Jiang held me in his arms and whispered to me not to be jealous. He said he no longer had any improper thoughts about Xia Weiwei. The past was the past, and he had long since let go of that relationship and wanted to move on.

Just 10 minutes later, Xia Weiwei finished her pole dance and stepped off the stage amidst whistles from a group of men who called her "beautiful woman."

After her performance, she changed her clothes and came over with Lin Yan, Wang Hao, and Lu Sizhe, chatting and laughing.

Xia Weiwei changed into a Chanel suit, carried a designer handbag, and her slightly wavy long hair looked beautiful. She was dressed in luxury goods, sparkling with jewels, and wore a diamond watch worth millions on her wrist.

She fixed her gaze on me and President Jiang.

Lu Sizhe is Xia Weiwei's loyal admirer and childhood friend.

He suggested we sit over there and have a drink.

Our group went to a private room in the bar and sat on a leather sofa. The living room was decorated very exquisitely and in a retro style. The bartenders pushed open the door and brought us very expensive wine, fruit and snacks.

President Jiang pulled me by the hand and sat me down on the sofa, asking if I wanted to drink.

I nodded.

He poured me a glass of red wine.

Xia Weiwei and Lu Sizhe sat next to President Jiang, deliberately keeping their distance, but this only made it more apparent that she couldn't let go of him.

She was drinking alone, her eyes a little red.

Seeing this, Lu Sizhe said, "Back in college, a few of us would often hang out together. President Jiang and Weiwei had such a good relationship back then, they even made a promise to take a trip together after graduation."

Weiwei said her dream destination is Tibet, which is close to heaven and not far from the soul.

Embark on a spontaneous trip away from the city and its hustle and bustle!

Lin Yan, holding Xia Weiwei's hand, her eyes slightly red, said, "It's a pity there are no 'what ifs.' If Weiwei and Jiang Hui had traveled to Tibet together after graduation, maybe they would have children now!"

Xia Weiwei, who hadn't said much since entering, looked at President Jiang and said, "Do you still remember the promise you made to me back then?"

"Miss Xia, I'm sorry. We've already broken up. You left without saying goodbye and went abroad with another man. Do you think I, Jiang Hui, am just a backup option that you can call on and dismiss at will?"

As for going to Tibet, my partner and I have already been there. Tibet is truly beautiful, and I hope you can find someone to travel with!

When Xia Weiwei asked him that question, President Jiang's eyes instantly reddened, perhaps because he was thinking of his past experiences. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

Lin Yan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Weiwei, let it go. He's no longer the man you used to love. He's forgotten all his love and promises to you."

He only has that divorced woman in his heart now. I really don't understand. Weiwei is so outstanding, she studied abroad, and she's a rich young lady who's going to take over the company when she comes back. She can't compare to a divorced housewife.

My face looked a little pale.

Wang Hao looked at Lin Yan, frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, and said, "Why are you getting so worked up? You've already broken up, why are you bringing up things from the past?"

Everyone has graduated for 10 years, left campus, and gone into the workforce.

Mr. Jiang has a girlfriend now, and he finally brought her to our gathering for the first time, and we keep bringing up things from the past. Isn't that going too far?

Lin Yan blushed with anger, her eyes seeming to hold a secret she couldn't tell. She shouted, "What do you know? Do you know why Weiwei went abroad in the first place? You know nothing and you're just spouting nonsense!"

We, her friends, just felt sorry for Weiwei. Weiwei and President Jiang were clearly a couple…”

"Yan, stop talking."

Xia Weiwei immediately said.

Seeing this situation, I couldn't sit still.

I stood up and said to President Jiang, "This place doesn't suit my style. President Jiang, they are your classmates, and Miss Xia is your ex. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable and would like to leave now."

President Jiang pulled me into his arms and whispered affectionately in my ear, "Man, I'll go with you."

This intimate gesture caused Xia Weiwei even more pain in her heart.

At that moment, I finally understood that President Jiang was protecting me with his actions, and that he was being affectionate with me in front of Xia Weiwei without any hesitation.

Mr. Jiang picked up his beer glass, took a sip, and then took my hand to say goodbye to them.

He said, "My girlfriend is a little tired. After I finish this drink, I need to take her home. Excuse me."

I really want to leave here.

I know that Xia Weiwei is President Jiang's ex-girlfriend. This kind of gathering is torture for me. I'm not a magnanimous woman. I can't bear to watch President Jiang and Xia Weiwei being so close together.

After all, that incident happened 6 years ago, and President Jiang has long since let go of that relationship.

I don't know if he was telling the truth or lying to me.

The staff brought over more drinks.

When Xia Weiwei saw that President Jiang was about to leave, she got up and came over to toast us with a glass of wine.

She stood next to President Jiang, picked up her glass, clinked it against his, and said softly, "President Jiang, I know you have a girlfriend. I'm really happy for you."

I was worried that you couldn't let go of that relationship, but now it seems my worries were unnecessary...

President Jiang remained silent and did not reply to her.

She came over and toasted me, saying, "Miss Jiang, let's have a drink. From now on, let's be friends in this city. Consider me a new best friend you can go shopping with."

I forced a smile and said, "No need, I don't have the habit of being best friends with my boyfriend's ex."

Xia Weiwei looked troubled...

Lin Yan walked over and deliberately bumped into Xia Weiwei with her arm. Xia Weiwei almost fell, and the wine in her glass stained my cheongsam.

I quickly took a step back, looking at my newly bought light blue cheongsam with heartache. It was as elegant and refined as an orchid, but unfortunately, there was a large wine stain on the chest.

Xia Weiwei quickly said apologetically, "How much is it? I'll pay you back!"

Mr. Jiang immediately took off his suit jacket and draped it over me.

I calmly replied, "Okay, I'll send you the invoice later."

Xia Weiwei was stunned, probably not expecting that I would actually ask her to compensate for the clothes.

Mr. Jiang took my hand and said, "Man, your skirt is dirty. Wear my coat."

Xia Weiwei's expression was very unpleasant.

Mr. Jiang and I walked out of the private room hand in hand.

What a coincidence tonight.

As soon as Mr. Jiang and I walked out of the private room hand in hand, we saw my ex-husband and Zhang Yan coming to the bar together.

My figure was graceful, and I was chatting and laughing with President Jiang, holding his hand. I had long black hair, a fair face, delicate features, and such a good figure. Under the swaying lights, I looked graceful and pure.

My ex-husband kept staring at me until he got closer and realized it was me. He was so shocked that he almost lost his balance and fell.

"Jiang, Man?"

He called my name in disbelief.

People around them were whispering among themselves: "Who is this elegant beauty in the bar? She's so beautiful! A blue cheongsam with a black coat over her shoulders, she looks dignified and graceful. Only a beauty like that can attract so many people's attention."

I spotted my ex-husband, grasped Mr. Jiang's hand tightly, and said gracefully, "It's me."

Xue Fan couldn't help but glance at me again, then walked up to me and lowered his voice, saying, "You're my ex-wife, Man? I almost didn't recognize you. When did you become so beautiful? You're even more beautiful than when you attended my wedding..."

I sneered at my ex-husband: "I feel really unlucky to run into you again, you scumbag."

Zhang Yan felt a little awkward, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, and greeted her sourly, "Sister Man, I never expected you to have become so beautiful."

Your relationship with Mr. Xue is in the past, and now that you're divorced, you've found Mr. Jiang. You're really something!

My face darkened, and I said, "I'm not as capable as you, Zhang Yan. But since you call me 'sister,' let me give you a piece of advice: what are you after by being a mistress to such scum?"

Zhang Yan wished she could disappear into the ground. Like a snake caught by its vital spot, she was extremely sensitive to me mentioning the word "mistress" in front of her. She had to soften her tone and say, "Man, I swear that in your marriage, Mr. Xue and I were just ordinary friends. Please don't hold it against me..."

We developed feelings for each other over time. Let me explain…”

"There's nothing to explain, I don't want to hear it."

I say.

Zhang Yan said pitifully, "Sister, I know I was wrong. I will definitely keep a low profile from now on."

"I can't be bothered with your messy affairs, and I can't be bothered to ask about them."

I say.

President Jiang stayed by my side the whole time, asserting his sovereignty over Xue Fan.

A sense of regret welled up in Xue Fan's heart. He used to think of me as just a housewife who couldn't earn money, so after earning a million-dollar annual salary, he became arrogant and his first thought was to have an affair.

He never expected that I would be so intolerant of injustice, willing to go to any lengths to divorce him and completely break off all ties...

He regretted marrying Yang Yufei.

Yang Yufei was extremely strict with him. He handed over all financial power and had to be home before 10 p.m. He also used his money to support his parents' family. If anything displeased him, he would make a huge scene at home.

Xue Fan felt like he had lost all his freedom.

He then got together with his neighbor, Zhang Yan.

He smiled at me and said, "Man, it's been a long time since I've seen you and your daughter. How about we go to Haidilao for a meal as a family this weekend?"

"I feel disgusted to eat with someone like you."

My eyes were icy cold, showing no respect whatsoever to my ex-husband.

Xue Fan was stunned, but still shamelessly said, "Are you still angry? Even if we're divorced, we'll still be friends. There's a saying, 'It takes ten years to share a boat ride, and a hundred years to share a pillow.' We were destined to be together."

President Jiang's expression turned somewhat grim.

He tugged at my hand and said, "Man, it's late, we should go home."
