The Secret of Second Marriage

Juan's husband, Liu Peng, still had the appearance of a bespectacled, refined, and aloof intellectual.

Just like when he pursued Juan, he wore a hypocritical expression and walked into the living room, asking Juan with feigned concern, "Wife, you said you weren't feeling well and asked me to cancel my social engagements tonight to come see you. What's wrong? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"No"

Juan looked at her husband with a cold smile. At this moment, she stopped pretending and personally tore off the man's hypocritical face.

Liu Peng glanced at me beside Juan, his eyes dark and cold, and said unhappily, "Wife, why are you still hanging out with this woman? She's just here to harm you."

She herself is divorced and unhappy in her marriage, and she hopes our marriage will also be unhappy.

"Don't you remember the last time we were at the hotel, when she threw herself at me? Haven't you forgotten?"

"Manga is not that kind of person."

Juan's anger flared up, and she stepped forward and slapped Liu Peng hard across the face. Her voice was crisp, cold, and resounding: "You bastard, I've put up with you for too long."

This farce must end. I brought Man here today to clear her name!

"Honey, I don't understand what you're saying. All these years, I've always loved you. Don't you know that?"

Liu Peng walked over and hugged Juan as he always had. He held her in his arms, touched her forehead, kissed her cheek, and looked at her with deep affection.

But this time, Juan pushed his hand away and said in a sharp voice, "Don't touch me, I feel disgusted. You've done so many things to wrong me, and now you still want to lie to me."

Do you think we can go back to the way things were? Do you still think I love you?

No, not anymore. I called you back for dinner today to expose your ugly side.

"Honey, have you gone through something traumatic? You seem like a complete stranger to me."

Liu Peng was shocked.

Juan sneered, walked up and grabbed her husband's shoulders, swaying in her sleep: "Liu Peng, what have I done to wrong you? How could you be so shameless as to look down on me like this?"

You yourself said you were keeping a mistress outside, but who exactly is she? Who was that woman you were planning to meet at a hotel that day?

"Didn't I tell you? The woman who asked me to go to a hotel that day was Jiang Man. She's your best friend, your most trusted friend, the one you've helped time and time again."

I'm your husband, we're family, don't you believe anything I say?

With a sincere and affectionate expression, Liu Peng pointed to the sky and swore an oath.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but go up and sneer, spitting out, "Bullshit! I wouldn't hire you even if I were blind!"

Liu Peng, stop putting on this hypocritical act. You appear so respectable in public, but behind my back you're out having sex with that vixen.

You threw this dirty water on my head to protect your beloved mistress, so I should be the one to do this, right?

I'm a divorced woman, easy to bully, with no background. You can all ride on my head and do whatever you want, right?

Let me tell you, a scumbag like you will be punished by God sooner or later, and you won't have a good ending!

"you--"

Liu Peng looked at me in disbelief, seemingly not expecting me to say such vicious things.

I've been holding back for so long, and now I'm finally about to explode.

I glanced coldly at Liu Peng and remained silent.

Just then, only Juan, Liu Peng, and I were in the large living room when a maid's footsteps came from outside the door, greeting us, "Madam, Miss Ju has arrived?"

"Please invite her in."

Juan sneered.

At this moment, Liu Peng could no longer hide his panic.

Ju Xiaoya wore a light blue short top and a white skirt. She was about 160 cm tall with a well-proportioned figure and exceptionally well-maintained skin. She had bright, sparkling eyes and slightly upturned lips, giving her a captivatingly seductive look.

But I can tell that this delicate face must have undergone cosmetic surgery and hyaluronic acid injections.

Although she looks as young as a girl, she never dares to make big movements with her face, and her smile is a bit stiff.

She was dressed beautifully, but as soon as she walked in, she sensed something was off about the atmosphere in the living room. She looked at Juan and me, then at Liu Peng, as if trying to find some clue on our faces.

She contorted her facial muscles, forcing a fake smile, and said, "Sister Juan, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Sister Man, what are you doing here? Didn't you two break up?"

"Stop pretending, you mistress."

Juan looked at this seemingly unassuming woman with disgust in her eyes.

Ju Xiaoya was dressed brightly and innocently. She blinked her big eyes and said pitifully to Juan, "Sister Juan, did you start to doubt me because of a few words of gossip from outsiders? I've hardly ever spoken a word to Mr. Liu."

Are you kidding me?

"Keep pretending, keep pretending!"

Juan glanced at the mistress's outfit with a cold smile. She was dressed in light-colored clothes from head to toe. She suddenly remembered that her husband had always liked this style: a fresh and refined green tea look.

"Sister Juan, you must have misunderstood me. I wasn't pretending. I've always considered you my best friend... You've been so good to me, how could I betray you?"

If you don't believe me, I can take you to get a printout of all my phone call records. I've never met your husband alone, nor have I ever spoken to him on the phone.

Ju Xiaoya seemed to walk over, wanting to grab Juan's hand and defend herself.

But Juan pushed her away and raised her hand to slap the mistress.

At this crucial moment, seeing his first love, whom he had loved for many years, about to be beaten, Liu Peng could no longer pretend. He grabbed Juan's wrists with both hands and said to her, "Have you made enough of a scene? Look at yourself, what kind of shrew are you now? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"What, did I say something wrong? Do you think I'm an idiot? You're keeping this woman as a mistress and even arranged for her to get close to me and put on an act in front of me."

A while ago, you gave her daughter a diamond necklace worth over 50 yuan for her daughter's birthday, while my daughter only received a simple bouquet of flowers for her birthday.

Don't you think you're being incredibly unreasonable? Oh, and by the way, you think I don't know that you paid for this bitch's house, car, and even her permanent library job?

You're so good to her!!!

Juan went berserk upon seeing this, pounding her fists into her husband's chest like a hail of bullets, her eyes bloodshot with rage, and said...

"How...how did you know?"

Liu Peng was stunned, looking at his wife in horror. He had always thought that his wife was just a simple, even somewhat naive, rich and beautiful woman.

He thought he had kept his relationship with his mistress a secret for so many years.

Juan smiled coldly.

In her husband Liu Peng's eyes, she was a wealthy, easygoing, and guileless woman.

When they were dating, they would go shopping together. Every time they saw beggars on the street, even though they knew they were scammers, Juan would still give them a few yuan.

Seeing this, Liu Peng said, "Juan, you are so innocent and kind. If it weren't for me, how would you survive in this society?"

You're such an ethereal, otherworldly young lady, always believing everyone in the world is a good person. What will you do? You'll get easily fooled.

But he forgot that when he first started his business, Juan closed far more deals than he did.

Juan treated him with sincerity and kindness, and felt that her husband truly loved her.

Over the years, he has pampered her like a little girl. Every time they go on a honeymoon or trip, her husband arranges all the luggage, and she just sits by like a little bird, not having to do anything.

She snuggled affectionately into his arms, their affection as sweet as honey. Whenever her husband was home, he wouldn't let her do housework or worry about the children's homework.

She had grown tired of the leisurely life of a wealthy wife over the years. Although she knew that her husband had some philandering scandals, she couldn't bear to break ties with him because of the sincere love they had once shared.

This time it won't happen.

Juan is the kind of strong female lead who, when faced with a problem, first cools down, then reflects, and finally makes a decision.

Once this decision is made, there is no going back.

She continued coldly, "Liu Peng, you've always thought I was naive and innocent, that's why you lied to me, and that's why I deserved to be lied to by you?"

I won't go into details about you having affairs and keeping those secretaries as mistresses; I'll just assume you were just playing around.

After all, we've been married for so many years, and you've lost interest. I can accept that you want to find some excitement outside.

But I never expected that you never loved me from beginning to end. You were just trying to scam my family's resources and dowry money.

"I've helped you achieve your ambitions, and you're cheating on me with another woman? You've given all your love to this woman, haven't you? You're a traitor, you disgust me!"

"Honey, don't be angry. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

Liu Peng's eyes darted around as he walked over, grabbed her hand, and tried to pull her into his arms, explaining, "Over the years, the only woman I've ever loved is you. I've always cherished you, afraid you'd melt in my hands or be consumed by my love."

Do you remember? The first time I saw you at university, you were wearing a white dress and had a ponytail, and I was blown away!

I truly love you. At that time, I thought that if this girl could marry me, I would take good care of her for the rest of my life. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, I would pluck them down for her.

I've been so grateful to you all these years for being with me when I had nothing. I've worked so hard and earned so much money, just so you and the children could have a better life.

I was listening to Juan's husband's nauseating and shameless declaration of love, and I felt utterly disgusted. My God, you never imagine that a man who says he loves you can betray you and your family so shamelessly behind your back.

I sneered, "Mr. Liu, what right do you, a traitor, have to talk about love?"

Juan couldn't hold back her tears as they streamed down her face. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Let's get a divorce."
