The Secret of Second Marriage

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. I've been filming since early April until mid-April. The cherry blossoms have all faded, and the trees are covered in green leaves. The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

I remember one scene, which was my most important scene, took a whole week to film. I had to get rained on and get beaten up. I endured it until the week was over before I finally couldn't take it anymore and developed a high fever.

The film crew gave me half a day off.

I was alone at a small clinic on the street opposite the filming location in Hengdian, getting an IV drip.

I was dizzy and lightheaded, but I kept telling myself, "Jiang Man, you have to keep going. The characters in this TV series are very well written. You must make the most of this opportunity."

Suddenly I received a call from Juan.

Juan called to ask me what happened, why I broke up with President Jiang?

I feel quite sad whenever I think about breaking up with President Jiang.

I said, "Juan, last time he was taken away for investigation, it involved a bribery case, and I couldn't help him. I suddenly realized how big the gap is between us."

His father didn't approve of us either. I... promised Xia Weiwei that if the Xia family could save President Jiang, I was willing to leave President Jiang for three years!

Juan said indignantly, "It'll be too late in three years. Besides, this wasn't your fault in the first place, so why should you be the one to suffer the loss?"

Why should you take the blame when President Jiang is in trouble? If you don't take the blame, they'll force you to break up with him. Haha, they're so heartless.

Man, you are President Jiang's official girlfriend, what are you afraid of? What kind of good person do you think Xia Weiwei is? If she were a good person, she would know better and wouldn't be trying to pester President Jiang all day long.

You've been tricked by her, you know that?

While receiving an IV drip, I said in an extremely weak voice, "Juan, I know you care about me! Actually, I've thought about this issue too. I won't agree to Xia Weiwei's request, I'll withstand all the pressure, and wait for President Jiang to come out."

If a bribery case actually goes to court, is tried, and results in a sentence...

Maybe it will be a year, maybe two years, maybe three years. I can film while waiting for President Jiang.

However, my conscience is tormenting me. My ex-husband cheated on me with another woman, and I was homeless. It was Mr. Jiang who helped me and took me in during the lowest point of my life.

When I was about to be completely destroyed by the rumors and gossip, he stood up for me and even introduced me to a job in the entertainment industry.

Sister Juan listened quietly without offering any advice.

I took a deep breath and continued, "So I can't just stand by and watch him suffer inside. One should know how to be grateful. Although I don't have the ability to take the blame for him, if the Xia family can really get him out, I'm willing to agree to Xia Weiwei's request to separate from President Jiang for three years."

If I don't help President Jiang, I'll never have a clear conscience for the rest of my life...

"Man, you are such a kind woman. I just feel it's such a pity. You and President Jiang really liked each other. Are you really not planning to see President Jiang again?"

"How about this, when are you going back to Beijing? I'll organize a dinner party, and you and President Jiang can clear up the misunderstanding."

Sister Juan paused for a moment before speaking.

I shook my head and said, "There's a rift between us now; maybe we really can't go back."

Juan said, "I can't let you sacrifice your relationship with President Jiang for nothing. Xia Weiwei is a businesswoman; how do you know which of her words are true and which are false? Just because she says she'll help President Jiang, does that mean she really will?"

I was stunned for a moment.

……

Three days later, after I finished filming and returned to the hotel to rest, I suddenly heard a knock on the door in the early morning.

"Who is it?"

As a single woman filming away from home, I was particularly cautious and careful about my safety, so I asked a question through the hotel door.

"It's me."

I never expected to run into President Jiang.

He opened the door, took a deep breath, and hugged me, saying, "Did you agree to Xia Weiwei's conditions? Man, I know everything."

And another thing, my dad forced you to take the blame? Is that something a human being would do?

"Company matters have nothing to do with you. Don't gamble your career and future!"

"You knew all along? Did Juan tell you?"

I didn't expect President Jiang to get the news so quickly.

He was wearing a dark blue coat, black trousers, and a bow tie. His face was slightly flushed from drinking, and his eyes held a complex expression.

He suddenly hugged me and said, "It's your distant cousin, I think his name is Shen Xing."

He somehow got my contact information and called to yell at me, saying that during the time I was in trouble, I was very worried about me and was trying to find a way to get me out.

My father tricked you into going to the restaurant and forced you to sign a document to take the blame, but you didn't agree.

Xia Weiwei found you, made you break up with me, and promised to leave Beijing for three years before you agreed to save me... You agreed to break up, Man, I'm so sorry!

I cried too, tears streaming down my face.

When Jiang's father made me take the blame, I felt ashamed for choosing to run away.

Although I do not regret my decision, I still feel guilty towards President Jiang.

I said, "I used to think that when two people love each other, they should give everything for each other; that's what true love is. But, Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry. Although I love you very much, I can't do it. I'd rather gamble my future than go to jail for you!"

"You don't have to go to jail for me. I'm not that kind of despicable man..."

Man, I've never told you this, but even if the truth comes out and I'm pinned on those millions of dollars in transfers, it won't be a big problem. At worst, I can hire a good lawyer to fight the case, and if I lose, I'll just have to pay some money.

However, the real reason I was taken for questioning was that my father's company had transferred a sum of money overseas, involving billions of yuan.

My dad prepared a lot of evidence. On the surface, it looked like a normal overseas investment, with many funds being sent out, and each fund had a normal guarantee contract.

The disciplinary committee took me out for investigation hoping to find a breakthrough through me, but unfortunately, I have never been involved in my father's company and it has nothing to do with me. So after so many days of investigation, I was finally released.

President Jiang said: "Man, your husband has been a law-abiding and moral person for so many years, and I have a clear conscience!"

Even if we take a step back and say that I am truly a cowardly and incompetent man who makes women take the blame and go to jail for me, I am not worthy of your love!

After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on my face, but I still felt a little embarrassed as I asked, "President Jiang, what about Xia Weiwei?"

"Xia Weiwei, what right does she have to make us break up? Who does she think she is? Man, the company is in a complicated situation right now. One thing I must do this time is to find the mole. In short, I was able to come out this time not because the Xia family helped me."

That's because I really didn't do anything illegal. Even if those million-dollar transfers had my signature, the accountant at the time had already left the company, and no one could explain what really happened.

Moreover, my grandmother told me that a boss in the entertainment industry also used his connections in the news department to say a few words on my behalf.

My grandma said that the boss in that entertainment industry is quite powerful. In short, whether I get out or not, the Xia family is just watching from the sidelines; they haven't really done anything. Xia Weiwei is lying to you!

When President Jiang came in, he pulled me to sit on the sofa, hugged and kissed me, and then reached out to take my clothes. We're both adults, so of course I knew what he was doing, and I blushed instantly.

"Jiang Man, I love you! I really love you!"

President Jiang gently kissed me and said.

I was hit by the shell with my eyes closed. My heart softened instantly, and tears welled up in my eyes.

He kissed me gently, and I just let him.

I don't know what the feeling is, it's the kind of joy that comes from wanting something you can't have back.

Honestly, I almost thought we would lose to reality. We were not a good match. How big was the gap between our social statuses?

Although Jiang's friends and brothers didn't say anything, they still believed in their hearts that Jiang and Xia Weiwei, a rich and beautiful woman, were a real couple.

After he kissed me on the sofa, I felt my own desire being aroused, and my mouth became dry.

His fingers inadvertently unbuttoned my bra, revealing my delicate collarbone and fair neck... I opened my eyes, and we looked at each other, both able to see the desire in each other's eyes, like two fish out of water meeting a raging fire.

President Jiang suddenly became very excited, and a barrage of kisses rained down upon him.

I'm, after all, a mature woman in my thirties. I hooked my arms around his neck, unbuckled his belt, and wrapped them around his waist, saying, "Mr. Jiang, do you still like Xia Weiwei?"

"I stopped liking it a long time ago."

Mr. Jiang stopped and looked at me seriously, saying, "When we were in college, Xia Weiwei was very beautiful, and I was very aloof. A few of my close friends in the class tried to get us together."

Wang Hao also liked Xia Weiwei back then, you couldn't tell, could you?

I think Xia Weiwei is pretty, but I don't have any other feelings about her.

But that night, our whole dorm went to a bar to sing karaoke. It was my birthday, and Xia Weiwei had a few drinks. Naturally, she fell asleep on my shoulder.

Our classmates all assumed we were a couple, so we started dating.

Xia Weiwei is a goddess. I thought that since I was in a relationship, I should be responsible for her, so I treated Xia Weiwei very well.

But unexpectedly, on the eve of graduation, she went abroad with another rich kid from our class without saying goodbye... Everyone in the class thought I would be very sad, but actually I wasn't that sad.

Because I believe that people have the freedom to choose. Since she didn't like me and chose Liu Sizhe, who seemed to have better conditions than me at the time, I respect her and hope she can be happy.

I muttered, "You're lying. That day at Lin Yan's wedding, you saw her return to China and you immediately fainted. I was the one who took you to the hospital. Can you honestly say it wasn't because you saw your first love and were traumatized?"

"What first love? When Xia Weiwei and I were dating, we never even held hands or kissed. We were just pushed into getting together."

As Mr. Jiang spoke, he rolled over and pressed himself against me, kissed my forehead, and continued, "The reason I fainted that day was because I had worked several nights in a row in the previous days, which caused low blood sugar."

I just don't want to explain.

"Man... I'm not a man easily seduced by beauty. Compared to stunning beauties, I prefer a down-to-earth woman who stays by my side and shares the simple joys of everyday life with me!"
