The Secret of Second Marriage

When I suddenly heard the name "General Manager Jiang," my eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

I suddenly said, "What's it to you what I do?"

I heard you two broke up.

Shen Xing suddenly moved closer to me, looking at me intently with intense hope burning in her eyes. Her voice was clear and pleasant as she said, "Sister, as long as you tell me that President Jiang broke up with you, I'll pursue you again."

"Shen Xing, do you know where the knife hurts the most when it's stabbed? I have a scar in my heart that's just starting to heal, and you come here to provoke me again. Do you know my heart is bleeding?"

I don't want to talk about my business with President Jiang anymore. I don't need your pity. If you've had enough of making a fool of yourself, please leave!

My tears fell.

I don't want to touch on matters of the heart anymore. I once hoped that Mr. Jiang and I could have a future together.

I thought Mr. Jiang and I were the same kind of people. We went through the crisis in the snow-capped mountains together and developed feelings for each other during the seven days we were stuck on the highway.

Reality still gave us a harsh slap in the face.

After the sudden death of his father, President Jiang took over the family business. In order to ensure the stable operation of the entire group, he ultimately chose to arrange a marriage.

He needs a woman who can help him.

As for me, I have no power or influence; I am just an ordinary citizen.

Forget it, breaking up might be better for both of us.

Shen Xing suddenly said, "I'm sorry, sister. I was too impatient. I only wanted a result and didn't consider your feelings."

Jiang Zong is not good enough for you. At the crucial moment, he chose power and status and abandoned you.

I'm different from all of them, can you trust me just this once?

"I think all men are the same, all smooth talkers. I don't want to believe anything you men say anymore."

The more I thought about it, the sadder and more aggrieved I became. The pent-up frustration of the past few days finally exploded.

I pushed Shen Xing out of the room and was about to close the door without saying a word when Shen Xing reached out and stopped the door.

He said, "Sis, don't be angry. It's not good for you to stay in the hospital all the time. Let me take you shopping and to see a movie to cheer you up."

I was just joking with you. Come on, sis, I'll take you to get something nice to eat... to make up for it, okay?

I'm a little hesitant. I feel like I've been immersed in the pain of breaking up with President Jiang all this time. I've been either staying at home or hospitalized after I got injured.

He speaks very little.

My personality gradually became more taciturn.

Just as I was hesitating, my best friend Juan walked in from outside, opened the door and said to me: "Man, your brother asked you to go shopping, so go. You stay in the hospital all day by yourself and don't say a word. You're going to get moldy."

I'm really worried you'll develop depression if things continue like this. Sigh, you were already unlucky enough to have met a scumbag like your ex-husband.

I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be such a pragmatic man. Just go out for a stroll. Don't worry, I'll get you a day off from the hospital. Sneaking away for an afternoon is fine."

While I was hesitating, Shen Xing suddenly grabbed my uninjured arm and pulled me out of the hospital room.

"Sis, run! Don't let the doctor catch you and take you back!"

It felt like I was back in my teenage years. Shen Xing was like a rebellious school heartthrob who grabbed my hand and made me skip class with him.

We ran frantically down the hospital corridor, only vaguely hearing a doctor shouting behind us, "Hey patient, you have an injury on your hand. Why aren't you in your room? What are you doing running out there?"

Shen Xing said, "Sister, you have to go crazy at least once in your life."

Hearing this sentence suddenly struck a chord with me. From childhood to adulthood, because my family favored boys over girls, I had always been an obedient and sensible girl.

I studied very hard when I was in school. Later, after I fell in love and got married, I saved money to take care of my family and husband and be a virtuous wife.

My life has always been orderly and routine. I have never rebelled, and I have never run away from the doctor's ward with such a racing heart as I did today.

Juan makes a lot of sense. I've been hurt in two relationships and then I was scammed by my agency. I've been feeling really depressed lately...

I'm like a machine, forcing myself to film videos and livestream every day to take care of my daughter, but I'm talking less and less.

I rarely see that happy smile on my face anymore.

Shen Xing led me in the elevator all the way out of the hospital, and then we took a taxi directly to the Times Street Shopping Plaza.

Sitting in the car, I looked at the blue striped hospital gown I was wearing and said, "Am I really going to wear this to go shopping?"

"Sis, I'll take you shopping for new clothes later."

Shen Xing was dressed in a black tracksuit, wearing a sports cap, sunglasses, and a mask.

In public, he concealed himself completely, as if afraid that others would discover his idol's identity.

He said to me, "Sister, today I'm not a star, I'm just your angel."

"Why are you so good to me?"

I almost laughed when I heard what the boy said. Sure enough, a man in his early twenties has a kind of innocence and romance that hasn't been tainted by the world.

Shen Xing said, "There's no reason why. I just like it."

I blushed after hearing that.

I used to think this young man was unreliable, but his words were so sincere.

I chuckled and said, "What about your rumored girlfriend, Yao Yuna? You two are being heavily promoted as a couple in the news!"

Shen Xing said, "I have no feelings for her. She has a sugar daddy. Things in the entertainment industry are complicated, sister. I want to tell you that work is work, and feelings are feelings."

I don't bring work-related matters into my private life. The rumors about me and her being a couple were just a publicity stunt by our agent to promote our new drama.

That's how the entertainment industry is now. But once this drama we're hosting finishes airing, we'll break up the on-screen couple.

You have to believe me, I film for more than ten hours a day and only sleep for four or five hours. I'm so busy that I don't have time for romance.

Besides, Yao Yuna isn't my type. I like you, sis! On set, we rarely interacted or spoke. If you don't believe me, sis, you can search for trailers and behind-the-scenes footage.”

"I'm not that bored."

I say.

As we were talking, the car arrived at Times Square. Shen Xing paid the fare and took me to a very high-end women's clothing store.

When we went in, many people looked at him and me with strange eyes.

Because I was wearing a hospital gown, people who didn't know better would think I was a mental patient who had escaped from some hospital.

Shen Xing ignored what other people thought and took me to buy new clothes.

He picked out a light blue long dress for me; it was quite pretty and stylish.

The weather in August was still very hot and dry, and the sun was still very strong outside.

Shen Xing also helped me put together a sun hat: a white sun hat, a light blue long skirt, and light gold high-heeled sandals.

I had already lost a lot of weight, and my figure was slender. My facial features and temperament were also particularly aloof.

When I put on this outfit and sunglasses, I really looked just like Fan Bingbing, like a mature and sophisticated woman, with a particularly elegant demeanor.

When paying the bill, the waiter kept praising her, saying, "Miss, this young man has such good taste. The clothes he picked out for you look so beautiful, just like a big star. But it's mainly because your features and temperament are so beautiful."

"Thanks"

I say.

I tried to pay with my card, but Shen Xing beat me to it.

He said he now has a job and can earn money, so he won't make me pay.

He swiped his card to pay more than 1 yuan.

I just found out that this dress costs over 6000 yuan, and the shoes and clothes together cost over 1 yuan.

That's too much money.

I want to forward it to Shen Xing.

Shen Xing said, "Man, I'm a man, I'll pay the bill."

After he paid, he took my hand and drove me out of the clothing store to stroll around the mall.

He bought me a strawberry milk tea and handed it to me, saying, "Sis, are you feeling any better after going shopping?"

"have"

I nodded.

I was wearing a pretty dress, but my arms were still wrapped in bandages. I was walking side by side with Shen Xing in the mall, drinking milk tea and enjoying the air conditioning, but I could still feel many people staring at us.

Shen Xing has the figure of a celebrity, and her temperament stands out from the crowd of ordinary people.

Although he tried his best to dress in a low-key manner and wore sunglasses and a mask, he still couldn't hide his idol star aura when he was with me.

In the mall, several young girls had already come up to me and asked, "Are you the celebrity Shen Xing? My friend and I watched your performance in the wildly popular drama 'Beauty's Scheme' a while ago, and you were so handsome!"

"Excuse me, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Shen Xing grabbed my hand and quickly left.

He participated in a talent show for boy groups, amassed a large fan base, and filmed many period dramas, causing his popularity to soar. Although he is not a top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, he has secured his position as a popular young actor.

To avoid the fans, Shen Xing and I rushed around and took the elevator to the jewelry counter on the 11th floor of the mall.

The magnificent lobby on the 11th floor is filled with high-end jewelry, cosmetics, and designer bags.

The people shopping here are all wealthy people from Beijing.

Shen Xing and I went to look at luxury watches. Even a simple green Submariner costs several million. Forget it, we can't afford it.

I said to Shen Xing, "Things here are too expensive, let's go."

"Sis, I just got a endorsement deal that's worth hundreds of thousands. Let me buy you a handbag."

Shen Xing said.

I was stunned and asked him, "Why did you think of buying me a bag?"

"I read in a magazine that if a girl is angry, buying her a handbag will cheer her up."

Like me, Shen Xing didn't have much experience in dating. She just did some random research in magazines. This method should be quite effective for young and pretty girls, but it didn't hold much appeal for me, a woman in my thirties who had seen all the vicissitudes of life.

I don't want to spend my brother's money either.

I said, "No need, just keep your money safe."

"Sis, let's go take a look."

Shen Xing said.

He took me to Times Square shopping mall, where we strolled around the lobby and discovered that it not only had gold jewelry and jade, but also designer watches, bags, and all sorts of luxury goods.

We walked around for a bit, but didn't find any bags we liked.

When I came across the jadeite glass display case, I saw a very beautiful jadeite bracelet, which immediately reminded me of the bracelet that Grandma Jiang gave me…

It is said to be a family heirloom of the Jiang family.

When I wore the bracelet before, Xia Weiwei was full of jealousy.

However, after breaking up with Mr. Jiang, I packed up the gifts he gave me, including the bracelet, and left them at his grandmother's house.

I had no idea how much that bracelet cost until I saw a beautiful jade bracelet in the display case. It was entirely green with a hint of white, gentle and lustrous, and it made me feel very comfortable.

This bracelet is priced at 300 million.

Then Jiang Zong's grandmother's bracelet could only be more expensive than that.

Unfortunately, I can't afford it...

Shen Xing asked me, "What are you looking at?"

Look at that bracelet.

I say.

Shen Xing glanced at the price and said to me, "Sis, I'll buy it for you."

"How much money do you have in your account? A bracelet worth 300 million, you just buy it without thinking?"

I laughed.

I know that although he is a celebrity now, the fees he receives from endorsements and promotions first go to his management company and then he keeps the rest of the money. It might only add up to one or two million.

Shen Xing honestly said, "I have more than 200 million yuan in hand right now, but if I take on more endorsements and work hard in filming, I should be able to earn the money back."

"I don't want your hard-earned money."

I said, "Just look at it. If I actually buy that bracelet, wearing it on my wrist would be a burden. I might worry about breaking it at any time."

Shen Xing, let's live within our means; there's no need to pretend to be rich when we're not.

While we were chatting, we suddenly saw a familiar figure.

President Jiang also came shopping with a beautiful and elegant lady.

They look like they're buying wedding supplies.
