The Secret of Second Marriage

Juan remained silent for a long time before leading me out of the car. She then notified the traffic police on the roadside and skillfully called the car insurance personnel to come and assess the damage and make compensation.

She finished a whole cigarette by the roadside and said to me, "Man, I almost dragged you into this today."

"I don't blame you!"

I say.

The person I really find strange is Man's husband. Who would have thought that such a refined, bespectacled, and cultured business owner was actually a beast in human form?

He's really terrifying.

I suddenly remembered that my ex-husband and Liu Peng were very close. They were college classmates. One kept a secretary as a mistress, and the other kept his first love on the side.

No wonder when my husband brought his mistress to the class reunion, Juan's husband thought it was normal, because that's exactly the kind of person he is.

Juan seemed to have made up her mind. She exhaled a smoke ring from her red lips, dressed in designer clothes, with a neat and sophisticated wine-red short haircut and delicate features. She said to me, "Women, many of them are emotional people. It's certain that they will be in pain when they find out that their husbands are having affairs."

But we must not be weak. The mistress has a fatal weakness: she will not be recognized by society and the law. I was still immersed in the disappointment of my broken marriage, but I did not expect my husband and the mistress to act so quickly. First, they faked a divorce, and then they staged a car accident!

I will not be soft-hearted towards them again!

At that moment, I saw a woman's complete awakening and ruthlessness.

Then the mistress called again.

Juan answered her call as if nothing had happened, and asked in a somewhat indifferent tone what was wrong.

Ju Xiaoya looked pitiful and anxious as she said, "Sister Man, I'm sorry. My daughter suddenly developed a high fever yesterday, and I was in a rush to get her to the hospital. I didn't have time to tell you."

I'm so sorry I broke my promise. I called to apologize, but you wouldn't answer, and I thought you were angry. I'm so sorry!

"It's okay, we had a lot of fun yesterday too."

Juan asked casually, "Is your child better?"

"Yes, I had an IV drip yesterday, and the fever has gone down."

Ju Xiaoya said, "Sister Man, thank you! I made some desserts at home. Do you have time to come over and try them?"

"Sorry, I might be busy today."

Juan said.

Ju Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Sister Juan, are you still angry with me for standing you up yesterday? I really didn't mean to."

"No, I'm not that petty. If things are out in the open, then they're out in the open! I was in a car accident today, and the traffic police are here and handling it."

Juan said.

"Oh, Sister Juan, are you hurt? Do you need me to come and help you?"

Ju Xiaoya pretended to be surprised and asked about his well-being on the phone.

If Juanjie hadn't already known that she was Juanjie's husband's mistress whom he had been keeping for many years, Juanjie would have really thought they were best friends.

Juan answered very seriously, "The front of the car was damaged, but I'm not seriously injured. I've had this car for many years, and I'm a sentimental person, so I've always been reluctant to replace it. I didn't expect it to break down. It seems like God is reminding me that I should buy a new car."

"Buying a new car must cost a lot of money."

When Ju Xiaoya heard that Sister Juan was going to buy a car, she hesitated for a moment and said softly.

She said with a hint of jealousy, "Sister Juan, I really envy you for marrying such a successful and good man. If your car gets damaged, you can just buy a new one anytime. Unlike me, raising my daughter alone, where would I get the money to buy a car?"

Sister Juan was too tired to listen anymore and said directly, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Don't be envious. My husband and I also went through a lot of hardship together in the early stages of starting our business."

The good life I enjoy today is a testament to my past efforts and sacrifices!

"Sister Juan, please don't misunderstand. I misspoke just now. I was just really envious..."

Are you so envious that you want to steal someone else's husband? Destroy someone else's family? Reap what someone else has already sown?

Sister Juan almost blurted out what was on her mind, but she held back.

She smiled and said, "Xiaoya, you're actually a really nice person. You're thoughtful, beautiful, and warm-hearted. After your divorce, you'll be able to find a good man."

"Really? Thank you so much, Sister Juan."

There was a hint of smugness in Ju Xiaoya's tone.

Juan didn't bother with her nonsense, simply said goodbye, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she said to me, "I'm sick of this green tea bitch acting every day. I'm holding back now, but sooner or later I'll settle accounts with this mistress."

"Juan, are you really planning to get a new car?"

I say.

Juan nodded: "Change it, change to the most expensive car."

After she finished speaking, she took me and Tangtang to look at cars.

We visited several car shows in one morning, seeing BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, and Maseratis—all luxury cars worth millions.

She said, "Man, now that you're a celebrity, why don't you get yourself a luxury car?"

"We're not considering that at the moment."

I said, "I don't earn much from acting these days. It's enough to support my daughter and me. The ordinary car I got from my ex-husband in our divorce settlement is still usable. We can talk about buying a car later..."

That's what I said, but if I have money in the future, buying a house will still be my first priority.

But Juan is already middle class, a boss lady worth tens of millions.

She wouldn't think about those things.

She immediately took a liking to a red Maserati and swiped her card to order the new car.

The contract was signed in the VIP room.

Juan's husband quickly called and said, "Honey, I saw that a sum of money was just transferred out of our company's bank account, over 300 million yuan. What did you buy?"

"My old car was wrecked in an accident on the road, and I happened to have some free time today so I came to see a new car."

Juan said calmly.

Liu Peng said, "Honey, we already have so many new cars at home. You know, the company's business hasn't been as good as it was a few years ago. So many middle-class companies are cutting costs and tightening their belts to make ends meet."

You can't spend money recklessly like you used to, okay?

"No matter what, I own a share in the company. Over the years, my family has been wealthy and hasn't touched the company's money much. Today, we're just buying a car, why are you making such a fuss? Liu Peng, are you starting to calculate our finances now? Are you having an affair?"

Juan said.

Liu Peng immediately said, "Even without a wife, you are my intimate partner, my spiritual pillar, and the one I've chosen for life! I was wrong just now. No matter how expensive the thing you want is, your husband will buy it for you!"

"I know you're good to me, honey. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now. You're still my good husband!"

Juan said.

After she hung up the phone, she said to me, "Man, don't you think men are the real actors sometimes? They're such good at acting. Every word he said, every tone of his voice, made me feel like he loved me."

But the truth is, he had already started an affair with his mistress.

Forget it, I can't be bothered to mention him. Since he continues to play the role of the perfect husband in front of me, I don't mind using our joint marital property to buy a car!

Looking at Juan's expressionless face, I knew she was truly determined to deal with the scumbag and the mistress.

Never underestimate a woman. If a woman is willing to love a man, she will give everything for him. But if she stops loving him, she can be more ruthless than anyone else!

Juan remained silent for a long time before making a phone call to one of her father's business partners and asking, "Uncle Chen, is your riverside property project still underway?"

"It's still here. A few years ago, when we took on this project, it was a key project of the municipal government and it was very prestigious. But in recent years, the economic environment has been bad, and we have to advance funds everywhere and rob Peter to pay Paul."

My housing development has reached its third phase, but we've run into funding problems in the later stages, and I don't know what to do now.

Uncle Chen said.

Juan said, "I can find someone to help me acquire this property project. Are you free at noon today? Let's arrange a lunch to discuss it."

"sure"

Uncle Chen said.

I know that Juan is always decisive and efficient; if she wants to achieve something, she will definitely do her best to make it happen.

After buying the car, Juan gave me a nonchalant smile and said, "Man, I won't be able to have dinner with you later, I have an appointment with guests!"

"Your business is more important."

I say.

Before saying goodbye to Sister Juan, I asked her to help me investigate something: "Juan, could you help me find out what difficulties President Jiang has encountered in his business recently? I've noticed he's been having trouble sleeping lately!"

I previously thought that President Jiang's insomnia was because of Xia Weiwei.

It's only now that I'm realizing it; he's been busy with business lately.

Juan patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll definitely use my connections to find out more for you!"

After saying goodbye to Juan, I took my daughter to the place where I was filming.

At noon, I took my daughter to treat Director Zhang to lunch.

When she saw my daughter Tangtang, her eyes lit up and she said, "As expected, Mommy is a great beauty, and your little darling is a little beauty too. Fair skin, big eyes, and delicate features, she's so pretty."

Is your name Tangtang? I heard from your mom that you're in first grade now, and you're 6 years old. Do you like acting?

If you like it, during winter and summer vacations, Auntie can have your mom take you to film a movie!

Tangtang nodded and said, "Auntie, I like acting."

I was a little surprised that Tangtang, who is only six years old, already has her own opinions and ideas.

She said very firmly that she wanted to act and become a star!

Director Zhang Zhiwei patted Tangtang's forehead and said, "Great! This little girl is so pretty and sensible, she could be a child star!"

"Thank you, Auntie."

It's sweet, Tangtang said.

The three of us were having dinner at a Western restaurant.

Director Zhang Zhiwei said, "Man, the film project you directed has passed the review and has entered the post-production editing stage. If all goes well, it will be released by the end of the year."

This is a realistic film about marriage, made with a clear-headed female perspective. I think it aligns perfectly with your description!

I said, "Director, does the company have any suitable scripts for me lately? I want to continue acting."

"Man, I asked you to meet me at noon today because I wanted to talk to you about something. The company will be assigning you an agent named Xie Xue, who will be handling your work-related matters from now on!"

Director Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said.
