The Secret of Second Marriage

President Jiang's face was very unpleasant, but he still maintained a polite and dignified demeanor and said to Shen Xing, "Young man, please restrain yourself. This is a public place. If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone."

"So what? You promised me before that you would protect her, love her, and not abandon her halfway."

Jiang Hui, did you forget everything you said just a moment ago?

Shen Xing clenched his fist and threw a punch.

President Jiang did not retaliate, but took the punch head-on, causing his nose to bleed.

Zeng Wanwan immediately went up to check on President Jiang's injuries and said somewhat displeasedly, "Hui, should we call the police?"

"Need not"

Jiang Hui shook his head and said, "It's something I owe her."

Shen Xing got even angrier when she heard him say that. She grabbed his collar, ready to punch him again, but this time, I stopped him last time.

Shen Xing said, "Sis, this punch is specifically for scumbags. He deceived your feelings and didn't take responsibility for you, he's a total scumbag, let me teach him a lesson."

"Stop fooling around."

I glanced at Shen Xing and said, "When it's going to rain, it's going to rain; when a mother wants to remarry, it's going to be a matter of mutual consent. Jiang and I are over; there's no point in dragging it out."

Let's go. Let's go back.

Mr. Jiang raised his finger to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of his lips, still looking at me with that same affectionate gaze. After a long while, his deep, magnetic voice uttered only three words: "I'm sorry."

"Don't even say those three words, I'm sick of hearing them."

I said, "President Jiang, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought you were so hypocritical. Saying those three words makes me feel like it's all pointless."

Zeng Wanwan stepped forward and gently wiped the blood from President Jiang's nose with a handkerchief. She said to President Jiang, "Hui, you shouldn't have dated an ex-girlfriend like that. She's so ungrateful. You should have treated her with dignity after the breakup, especially since you've already apologized to her."

President Jiang said, "Don't say that. In the end, I'm the one who let her down in this relationship."

The more I listened, the more disgusted I felt.

I always thought that President Jiang loved me very much. He was very gentlemanly and gentle to me, but now I see that he treats another woman the same way.

I suddenly realized that feelings can change in an instant.

I tilted my head back, forcing back my tears, and then smiled at President Jiang, saying, "Please move aside, a good dog doesn't block the way!"

"Manga..."

President Jiang's face immediately turned ugly, and his eyes revealed shock.

He seemed surprised that I would say such harsh words.

I suddenly smiled, glanced at President Jiang, then looked at Zeng Wanwan and said, "I wish you happiness! I won't be attending the wedding banquet."

The weather is so nice today, perfect for shopping, so I won't join you.

Mr. Jiang suddenly lowered his eyes, still standing in front of me blocking my way, refusing to move aside, and said to me: "I told Director Zhang that I will invest in a movie, and you have been specifically requested as the female lead."

"What is this? Is this my breakup compensation?"

I was so angry I laughed.

I initially wanted to turn away with a haughty air, but then I thought it wouldn't be worth it. Since President Jiang has already found a better, richer, and more beautiful woman and a better backer, and they're getting married in October during the National Day holiday.

This is essentially a seamless transition; he dumped his ex-girlfriend very quickly and then married a girlfriend with better prospects.

A group of people who have reached middle age and become more pragmatic.

I suddenly realized I didn't love President Jiang as much anymore. I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since it's a breakup gift from you, thank you."

"Let me take a look at your wound. You still haven't told me how you got hurt?"

Mr. Jiang still asked me with concern, his affectionate expression making it seem as if he still loved me. But I already knew that no matter how much he acted as if he loved me, he would actually choose to marry the woman who would be more helpful to his career.

After weighing the pros and cons, President Jiang ultimately decided to give up on me.

So be it.

I, Jiang Man, am not the kind of woman who can't let go of a man or live without him.

I looked him straight in the eye, a cold smile playing on my lips, and asked President Jiang, word by word, from the bottom of my heart: "President Jiang, what's the point of saying all this now? What's the point of you caring about my wound?"

When I needed you most, you were with other women.

The marriage partner you chose is Ms. Zeng, who is standing next to you, not me.

Since we've already broken up, why are you still acting like you're deeply in love with me? I think it's disgusting; it's unfair to both your current fiancée and me.

Do you think that as long as you continue to act like you can't forget me and that I still have feelings for you, I'll remain trapped in this relationship, unable to move on, foolishly waiting for you, constantly lowering my self-esteem, loving you unconditionally, even to the point of being humble enough to be your mistress?

"Man, that's not what I meant. I just..."

President Jiang was somewhat incoherent, completely unprepared for my sharp retort.

This was the first time I had seen him lose his composure after his mask was ripped off.

"No matter what you mean, I will never be anyone's mistress. Mr. Jiang, even if you're a billionaire CEO, I wouldn't care about the Emperor himself."

What I, Jiang Man, have never bowed down to is my integrity.

My ex-husband cheated on me, so I dumped him.

President Jiang broke up with me for the sake of a marriage alliance, and I cut ties cleanly and never bothered him again.

Mr. Jiang looked at me for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Man, you're doing well. I hope you'll be happy and find a man who truly loves you... Although we're not meant to be, I still hope you can live a good life."

"I will definitely be fine."

I laughed, a laugh so desolate and ugly.

It turns out that the man I poured my heart and soul into in my second relationship was actually a cowardly, timid, and sophisticatedly selfish person who was hiding his true feelings so deeply.

Water flows downhill, and people strive for higher positions; this is the stark reality of society and the ways of the world.

However, just when I was feeling the worst, Shen Xing appeared. He pulled me into a tight embrace, took off his glasses and mask, and revealed his handsome appearance to President Jiang. He declared confidently, "Man will definitely be very happy. Because I love her."

Jiang Hui, I misjudged you.

I thought you would bring her happiness, but I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical.

You are more mature than me, more rational than me, more humble and gentle than me, more successful in your career than me, more worldly than me, and have traveled more roads than me... but you don't have my always sincere heart.

In my eyes, loving someone doesn't involve so many twists and turns, so many hardships and unavoidable circumstances.

Love is either love or not love.

If you love a woman, you will firmly choose her and not choose anyone else!

The first principle of love is loyalty and exclusivity.

If love requires "weighing the pros and cons," it means you don't like it that much, or you don't love it at all. Love never makes choices; love is love!

Love is always steadfast; there's no such thing as not being able to be together without liking someone, and no such thing as loving someone you can't have. The answer to everything is already in the moment you hesitate.

Since you gave up on Manga, let me pursue her and protect her.

From today onwards, Manga is my girlfriend!

Hearing this was like a bolt from the blue. I never expected that a young man like Shen Xing, who was only in his early twenties, would have such profound insights and understanding about life and love.

Yes, I deserve to be chosen firmly by anyone, rather than being abandoned after being picked over. I would rather be a regret than an option.

A man who abandons me, no matter how much he says he loves me, has already shown me through his actions that he doesn't love me that much, at least not as much as he shows.

This time, I firmly took Shen Xing's hand and said to President Jiang, "President Jiang, our relationship is over. I don't regret it, and I have no regrets."

I once went to you with 100% honesty, but unfortunately you were weighing the pros and cons. I can say with my hand on my heart that I tried my best. I really wanted to go on with you, whether it was on the snowy mountain or that time when you were taken away by the disciplinary committee for tea, and I couldn't contact you for more than a week.

Although I can't take the blame for you, I never chose to abandon you during the most difficult time, not even for a moment. I even made up my mind that if something really happened to you, I would do everything in my power to save you and wait for you.

But you still chose another woman. I've been brave enough; I'm not the one who should regret it.

President Jiang's face turned deathly pale.

Zeng Wanwan squeezed President Jiang's hand and comforted him, saying, "Hui, you still have me. Thank you for choosing me. We will definitely love each other very much... One day you will find that I am actually more suitable for you than Miss Jiang."

Jiang Hui forced himself to say that he was fine.

I don't want to see this couple anymore.

I took Shen Xing's hand and walked past President Jiang, leaving the shopping mall on the 11th floor.

Shen Xing said, "Sis, don't be sad for someone who isn't worth it. Date me, and I'll treat you well. If you're really upset, I'll take you out for some excitement today, get a hotel room, and sleep with him. Anyway, that jerk can't control you."

He said these words intentionally for President Jiang to hear.

My arm is injured, and besides, I only have a slight ambiguous feeling towards Shen Xing, and I haven't completely changed my feelings for him yet, but I've already fallen for a younger brother.

In my understanding, for a woman to find a reliable man, that man should be older than her, mature, stable, and considerate in every way.

But I found two men, one was my ex-husband Xue Fan, and the other was President Jiang. Both men were equally outstanding in their careers and equally mature and steady in a crowd, but they were too cunning and too calculating. If you were not careful, you would be betrayed and abandoned.

I'm not really interested in dating middle-aged people anymore. Maybe once I've calmed down, it wouldn't be bad to have a relationship with a younger man.

President Jiang was angered by these passionate words and stood there with a very ugly expression.

However, he is no longer in a position to interfere in my life.
