The Secret of Second Marriage

Chapter 222 Tearing Apart the Disguise

My heart pounded. I looked at the man in front of me and sneered, "What do you mean? Do you think you're acting in an idol drama? Forcing a lover against the wall?"

"General Manager Lin, please, this is real life. What you're doing only makes me feel disgusted."

"You know what? My father actually arranged a blind date for me tonight, but I've been torn all day about whether to go on the blind date or come to see you."

In the end, I still chose to see you... Do you know what that means? It means that the woman I'm willing to fall out with my family to see, I've already fallen deeply in love with you!

Lin Jie finally spoke softly.

I was stunned by his cold, domineering, and authoritarian demeanor.

I said, "I'm sorry, if I've done anything to cause you any misunderstanding, I can explain it to you clearly. General Manager Lin, you're just a passerby to me, and I'm aware of my actions and choices."

I have a boyfriend, and I need to be responsible for my relationship! Please have some self-respect!

"Miss Jiang, I really like you. Can't you really give me a chance?"

Lin Jie looked at me with deep affection, tears streaming down his face. He held my hand and said, "You have exquisite features, long legs, and curves in all the right places. I liked you the first time I saw you."

I refused on the spot, saying to him, "Please show some respect, I have something to do and I'll be leaving now."

"Are you just going to betray my deep affection like this? Do you really think I can't do anything to you? Jiang Man, you've ignited my competitive spirit as a man. Tonight, I must have you... even if it costs me!"

Lin Jie suddenly got angry, revealing his domineering and aggressive side as a rich second-generation. He snatched my phone, grabbed my hand and pushed me onto the sofa, then started tearing at my clothes and kissing me wildly.

I slapped him hard across the face and yelled, "Help!"

Soon, Yu Xiang kicked the door open.

He rushed in with two bodyguards, grabbed Lin Jie's arm, and with a judo throw, slammed him to the ground. They quickly pinned his arms down and, with a few snaps, tied his hands together…

Yu Xiang's voice was loud and clear, filled with righteousness and authority: "You brat, I knew something was wrong with you a long time ago. You're blinded by lust, and you actually dared to force yourself on me. Do you think this is still a feudal society? Kidnapping a woman!"

"Call the police"

I straightened my clothes, stood up, and said with an icy expression.

Yu Xiang said to me, "Girl, you should call the police. I just checked the crystal chandelier that suddenly fell in the live stream room and found that someone had tampered with it."

No wonder it fell down for no reason and almost hit you, giving him a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress!

I felt a little guilty towards General Manager Lin, because no matter what, he had just saved me. If it weren't for him, I might have been hit by the crystal chandelier.

But now that Yuxiang has told me the truth, I'm completely stunned. I can hardly believe it. The city is full of traps and pitfalls!

I didn't hesitate to call the police.

Lin Jie had been threatening me, but he didn't expect me to actually call the police, so he panicked immediately: "Ms. Jiang, let's talk this out. Let's pretend today's incident never happened... Please don't call the police. You didn't lose anything, did you?"

"That's because I brought bodyguards. If I hadn't brought bodyguards, and I were just an ordinary girl meeting you alone in your office, I'd probably be in deep trouble right now."

The thought of this man pretending to be an innocent and naive persona towards me makes me feel disgusted.

This time, I didn't hesitate at all and called the police immediately.

When Lin Jie saw that I had actually called the police, his expression changed instantly. He glared at me and sneered, "Jiang Man, don't be so high and mighty. You're just a third-rate female celebrity. To put it nicely, you're a celebrity; to put it bluntly, you're just a low-class actress."

You think you're superior just because you're taking pictures of this guy? Actually, you're no better than those women selling themselves on the street, and those women are even younger than you.

I'm already incredibly lucky that I even considered you, a 30-year-old woman. And you dare to call the police!

You really think too highly of yourself!

After he finished speaking, he was still not satisfied and said angrily, "What's so great about you being a female celebrity? It's not like I haven't slept with female celebrities before. I dated a female celebrity before, and I only spent a few hundred thousand to buy her a bag and a watch, and took her out for a Western meal. She then took the initiative to come into my room."

You think I can't find other women besides you? Ha! You're giving me the time of day!

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have been able to connect this irritable and hypocritical man with the elegant and polite man I knew before.

It turns out that everyone is so good at pretending. Only when their core interests are touched will they explode and reveal their true colors.

"Heh, do you expect me to thank you? You scoundrel!"

Pah! I find you disgusting just looking at you. Let me tell you, others are others, and I am me! Don't judge my work with your filthy heart. Other female celebrities are willing to sleep with others, that's their business. It doesn't mean I'm willing too.

Besides, General Manager Lin, did you get to this position today by selling yourself out?"

I was immediately enraged.

When Lin Jie heard what I said, he froze on the spot. Perhaps he was a rich and powerful second-generation in this small city, and everyone fawned over him. No one dared to say such things to him.

After about a minute, his expression changed from gloomy to cloudy, then from cloudy to sunny, forcibly revealing a hypocritical sneer on his face.

He reverted to his previous gentle and refined demeanor, a smile playing on his lips, but his words were utterly devoid of emotion or warmth: "Jiang Man, you dare offend me? I'll make sure you never get another job, you believe me?"

I don't believe it.

I glanced at him dismissively, my eyes full of disdain.

The police quickly took Lin Jie away.

After the incident escalated, even Lin's parents, the elderly chairman of the Lunas brand company, were alerted.

Chairman Lin and his wife braced themselves and entered the police mediation room. When they saw me, they hesitated for a long time before saying, "Ms. Jiang, this time it was indeed my son's fault. We didn't discipline him properly, which led to his current personality."

His mother and I were busy starting our business when he was young, so we didn't have time to spend with him properly. Later, he became addicted to video games, his grades plummeted, and he didn't even take the college entrance exam.

His mother and I made a tough decision and sent him abroad to study. No matter what, it's easier to get by with a degree from an overseas university.

"Relationships are about mutual consent; you can't force someone or force them. This time, my son has truly wronged you. Could you please consider my age and that he's my only son, and forgive this old man just this once? Please don't sue him, okay?"

As he spoke, the chairman and his wife burst into tears and were about to kneel down before me.

I'm actually a very soft-hearted person.

I said, "I can let him off the hook, but I have two requests that I hope you can grant..."

"Tell us, no matter how much money we have to pay, we're willing! Girl, you've been wronged. We invited you here to film some promotional videos for our company, but it's all that bastard Lin Jie's fault! I'll definitely give him a good beating and teach him a lesson!"

Chairman Lin said.

To be honest, I'm only now realizing that this trip to Yunnan was completely different from what I had imagined.

When I heard that we were going to film GG here, I was actually quite worried and scared because I had seen a lot of news reports about girls being sold to Cambodia and Southeast Asia for telecom fraud.

That place was like hell on earth; there was no turning back.

Therefore, I was extremely careful and stayed in my hotel room with the door closed 24 hours a day, except when I was out working.

But after actually arriving here and taking photos of GG, I realized that what was aimed at me was a carefully planned romantic encounter.

If I had been even a little greedy, if I had lost my mind and been consumed by desire, I probably wouldn't be able to leave now.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, I decided to return to Hengdian as soon as possible.

I nodded and made my demands: "First, get me to the airport as soon as possible; I need to leave here. Second, I want 100 million yuan for the cost of my boyfriend's services plus compensation for emotional distress."

"Can"

Chairman Lin readily agreed to my conditions in order to protect his son's reputation and prevent him from going to jail.

After we reached an agreement at the police station, Chairman Lin arranged for a dedicated driver to have the hotel staff pack all our luggage and then take us to the airport.

I was so busy that I didn't board the plane until after midnight. I didn't even have time to eat instant noodles; I just wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.

Yu Xiang and his two bodyguards followed me closely, protecting me every step of the way, afraid that I might encounter any danger.

Fortunately, I left Yunnan safely after the plane took off. The plane didn't land at Hengdian Airport until after 3 a.m.

When I got off the plane, I saw that the airport was open at 3 a.m., and the KFC and McDonald's restaurants were still brightly lit 24 hours a day and never closed.

The travelers were in a hurry late at night. Although there were fewer of them than during the day, it was clear that everyone was in a rush.

If it weren't for the demands of work and life, who would be willing to take a plane and fly around in the early hours of the morning?

The moment my plane landed, my phone received a notification of a 100 million yuan transfer. It was Chairman Lin who had the finance department call me. He kept his promise and said it was compensation for me.

Yu Xiang and his two brothers followed me on a business trip to Yunnan for one day and one night.

To protect me, the three of them took turns on duty. Thanks to them, I was able to finish filming GG in a foreign city and return safely unharmed.

The three of them were also extremely tired.

Yu Xiang and his group's planes took a different route than mine. I flew back to Hengdian, while they flew directly back to Beijing. Everyone went home to rest.

I came out of Hengdian Airport, dragging my suitcase alone, and hailed a taxi on the streets late at night. I glanced at the sleeping city, still brightly lit, but eerily quiet, completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of the daytime.

I've seen Hengdian at 3 a.m.

On my way back to the Hengdian Hotel, while sitting in a taxi, I transferred another 10 yuan to Yuxiang as the final payment.

Starting a business is very tough for Yuxiang.

Every day, the first thing he thinks about when he opens his eyes is how to pay salaries, how to make money, and how to support his employees.

In the early stages of starting a company, money is really needed.

So he accepted the 10 yuan I gave him, and then sent me a voice message saying, "Thanks, girl, just let me know if you need anything in the future..."

"Brother, get some rest. Please give my regards to your wife."

I say.

"Your sister-in-law is waiting for me at home. She even prepared a late-night snack and beer for me. I'm going back to keep her company. You should go back and get some rest too."

Yu Xiang said.

We chatted briefly and then ended the conversation just as quickly.

I've found that our industry as celebrities is full of temptations, and if you're not careful, you can make a mistake and fall into an abyss of no return.

I told myself, Jiang Man, no matter how bitter or difficult life gets, never do anything against your conscience.

Debts of gratitude are easy to repay, but debts of conscience can never be repaid in this lifetime.
