The Secret of Second Marriage

I went into the flower shop and went straight to the point, asking her, "Are you Su Xiaohong?"

When she saw me, she paused for a moment and said, "Beautiful lady, do you know me?"

Do you recall these transfers?

I took out the bank transfer receipts that I had printed out earlier from my bag.

Su Xiaohong glanced at her and her attitude became particularly guilty. She said in a very forceful and sarcastic tone, "Are you from the court or the police? Didn't I say that when you came to me for investigation a few days ago?"

I didn't know about those transactions; my own card was stolen.

"But I found out you were one of the mistresses of that hotel government official. These transactions were made through your account. Do you think you can escape responsibility?"

I said coldly.

Su Xiaohong's face turned pale instantly.

She said, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything. It was all transferred to me by a female accountant named Jiang Man. If you want to find her, go find her. She just said it was normal business transactions."

Hearing this, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine and realized I had been tricked.

Su Xiaohong was bribed and changed her story, insisting that it was I who transferred the money to her.

It's no surprise that President Jiang's father paid me to be the scapegoat in order to exonerate his precious son.

I tried to control my emotions and said that I would show weakness if I lost my temper, but my voice still trembled uncontrollably.

I said, "How can you make false accusations? I've never even met you. I used to work in finance at General Manager Jiang's company, but I never transferred that money. Why are you lying against your conscience? Is your conscience so cheap?"

"Are you going to ruin another woman's career and reputation?"

Su Xiaohong laughed contemptuously: "So you're Jiang Man? Heh, don't be ridiculous. This is the naked reality of society. Just because you don't bully others doesn't mean others won't bully you."

Blame it on women like you who overestimated yourself, tried to climb up to President Jiang, and got caught in the company's internal strife. You're just cannon fodder!

I looked at her with utter disappointment. Now I finally understood: Su Xiaohong was an extremely shameless woman…

She said, "President Jiang is not someone a woman like you can get close to. You'd better watch yourself."

"Fine, Su Xiaohong, I'll remember you. What goes around comes around, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later. If Heaven doesn't punish you, one day I, Jiang Man, will."

This is probably the most vicious thing I've ever said.

Her face turned pale.

She said, "You dare?"

"What wouldn't I dare to do?"

I turned and left the flower shop.

From this moment on, I swear I will find the mole within the company.

I instinctively felt that Su Xiaohong was probably one of our company's partners, the mistress that the official had given her to.

Now the other party has fallen from power.

He then instructed Su Xiaohong to report that President Jiang was suspected of bribery, which is why President Jiang was taken in for questioning.

I, Jiang Man, will not let anyone bully me.

On the third day, I received two phone calls, one with good news and the other with bad news.

The good news is that the person in charge of Lemon Sunshine Company called to congratulate me on passing their interview and signing an acting contract. I can officially start filming next week, and my role is the second female lead.

But another call brought bad news: the court informed me that a case needed to be heard, mainly because when I was an accountant at Mr. Jiang's company, there were several records of transferring company assets.

They, on behalf of the company, are trying to get me to investigate those embezzled funds.

However, the other party said that a mediation was needed before the court hearing, and asked me to go over and explain.

I know what's meant to happen will happen...

The mediation was scheduled for Monday. The morning was sunny, and my lawyer and I walked together to the court's mediation room.

Mr. Jiang's father and several shareholders of Mr. Jiang's company came to the mediation room and took turns trying to persuade me that as long as I signed the confession, my boyfriend, Mr. Jiang, would be fine.

Wang Hao said, "Sister-in-law, I know this matter has wronged you. Don't worry, as long as you sign this, once President Jiang comes out, he will definitely treat you well. From now on, you'll be the sister-in-law of all of us brothers!"

Another partner sarcastically mocked me: "What? Aren't you and President Jiang madly in love? You have no sense of responsibility at all. President Jiang is such a rich and handsome man, yet he took a liking to you, loves you, and accepts you, even though you have a daughter as a burden."

"What's wrong with you taking the blame for him this once when something happens? Aren't you his girlfriend?"

Without much hesitation, I simply said, "If President Jiang really goes to jail, I will wait for him to come out. But I will not admit to anything I didn't do, and I will not sign anything."

"you--"

Mr. Jiang's father seemed surprised by my choice, and said with a look of disappointment, "I really didn't expect you to have no feelings for my son at all, that you wouldn't even be willing to make this small sacrifice for him?"

"Uncle, I don't accept any moral blackmail. Don't you know that if you sign, that embezzled money will end up in my hands? Please forgive me for being a selfish woman. I love President Jiang very much, but I love myself even more."

I say.
