The Secret of Second Marriage

I never dreamed that this seemingly shrewd and calculating man would make such a shameless request of me.

I stood there and instantly understood what he meant. He wanted me to take the blame for President Jiang, but that sum of money wasn't my responsibility.

When I was studying at the University of Finance and Economics, our teachers specifically reminded us accountants that there are some things we can do and some things we can't do, especially falsifying accounts or helping companies make illegal transfers to evade taxes.

If caught, they could easily become scapegoats.

Therefore, I am extremely careful and never allow myself to make any mistakes.

Moreover, when that project was launched, I was a full-time stay-at-home mom, and I was just nominally working at the company.

I occasionally help the company prepare accounting statements, but as for highly confidential matters such as money transfers, I usually leave those to my own people within the company.

I suddenly remembered Sister Sun, the company's former finance manager, who applied to go to New Zealand with her husband last year to take their child to study abroad.

Previously, many important company assets were transferred through her.

Now that she's gone, the company can't find anyone to take the blame, so they're coming to me?

I was stunned and didn't say anything.

I felt a chill run through my body. For the first time, I realized that the lives of the wealthy could be so dangerous and full of scheming.

Old Jiang wasn't surprised by my expression and continued, "Jiang Man, do you know Jiang Hui's partners? Apart from one computer genius with no background but incredible skills, the other two are rich second-generation heirs from Beijing with wealthy family backgrounds."

There is open and covert infighting within the company.

That project is one of your company's sub-assets. It involves building a high-end hotel near the airport, but it's not easy to get the land from the government, so you chose to give them money instead.

Because it involved bribery, the amount was quite large.

My son was reported by someone inside the company.

However, the evidence I have gathered is not detailed enough to remove the traitor from the game.

So I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to make do. I've heard you have deep feelings for my son. I promise you, if you agree to take the blame for my son, I will definitely allow your marriage to proceed.

"So you're going to sacrifice me? I haven't done anything wrong!"

I gave a sarcastic laugh.

My mind is in turmoil right now. To be honest, don't blame me for being a selfish woman, my first reaction was no, yes, I can't agree.

I will never sacrifice myself for a man again in my life.

Last time, I sacrificed my career for my husband's career and chose to be a full-time housewife, only to be used and then cruelly abandoned.

Even if we take a step back and go to jail for President Jiang, what about my daughter? What will happen to my daughter?

Jiang Zemin is indeed a cunning old fox. He's over 60 years old, but he looks just like the officials on the news. He smiles at you and speaks kindly, but every word he says sends chills down your spine.

I asked him, "Does President Jiang know about our conversation today?"

"My son doesn't know. He was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission this afternoon. The evidence is not sufficient at present, so he is being held in the villa with several staff members watching him and questioning him. You can't contact him."

As Jiang Zemin always said.

"Jiang Man, I've had someone investigate you. You used to be just a housewife. My son has already given you a lot of resources and connections; otherwise, how could you have become the lead actress right from the start?"

My mom is old, but she loves children. Tangtang is with her, and she will treat Tangtang well.

She often takes Tangtang shopping, buys her new clothes and treats. She's a doting grandmother... If you agree to this, I can also agree to your request. Our Jiang family will officially adopt Tangtang.

"From now on, our family will cover all expenses for this child's schooling, marriage, and all wedding costs. Are you satisfied with this offer?"

I'm satisfied with you, my foot!

I thought to myself.
