The Secret of Second Marriage

Father, like son.

I don't know what to say. Bai Mei, that artistic woman, gave up an offer to release a record and used the compensation money from her family's demolition to open a romantic restaurant here.

She took great care of all these flowers. In the small villa's courtyard garden, there was a lawn and a stage for singing.

There were four or five tables in the garden, rose vines climbed all over the walls, and the garden was divided by a fence, all neatly arranged, with all kinds of flowers planted inside.

The most common flowers are lilies, roses, dahlias, and hydrangeas.

These flowers are dazzling and eye-catching, blooming in clusters, making this August garden vibrant and striking.

As I ate my porridge, I said, "Shen Xing, is your family hereditary for being love-struck? Bai Mei's ex was such a jerk. No matter how outstanding he is, he can't give her money or a proper status. Why is she still waiting for him so devotedly?"

"My cousin always believed that he loved her, but he had no choice in the matter."

Shen Xing said, "Today is our first date, so let's talk about romantic things. But who knows, maybe one day he'll be moved by my cousin's sincerity and marry her?"

"But……"

The words that almost slipped out of my mouth were: "That guy is going to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official. I heard that after marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official, the woman's family has a powerful background, and the man is very likely to suffer."

I guess that the man was in his early twenties, and had just graduated from university when he passed the exam and got a coveted civil service job in Beijing. Because of his handsome appearance and his conscientious work, he was valued by his superiors and became their son-in-law.

However, these men who rise to power through their relationships with women are quite ambitious and have a strong sense of self-esteem. Don't be fooled by their submissive and patient behavior in the early stages; once they gain power, they can be ruthless than anyone else.

I don't know what that leader's daughter was thinking. How could she possibly have any affection for his wife if such a scumbag could be so cruel to his ex-girlfriend?

It seems that young people's emotional world is still very pure, untainted by material things and money, and they still hold onto the belief that being wholeheartedly good to the person they like will bring them true love...

I suddenly thought of my past self—how foolish, how naive, how kind, and how regrettable.

Now that I'm 30 years old and have all the experience I need, I can clearly see that that scumbag is definitely not a good person.

I feel obligated to remind Bai Mei.

However, I am not very familiar with Bai Mei. We have only met twice. The last time, Shen Xing had a stomachache, a high fever and fainted. Bai Mei took care of Shen Xing in the rented house, and I went to see her once.

This is the second time.

I'm thinking I'll talk about it later when the time is right...

After Shen Xing stopped talking about his cousin, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and he even chuckled to himself while we ate...

I looked up at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

He carefully cut a steak, placed it on my plate, and said, "Man, I won't tell you, guess for yourself!"

Honestly, I can't guess what he was laughing about. Maybe he thought it was a romantic first date?

Looking at the involuntary smile on his face, I thought how wonderful it is to be young. Then I carefully ate the food on the plate, one small bite at a time, and drank the seafood porridge.

The steak was very tender, and the seafood porridge was fresh and delicious.

The food at this restaurant is pretty good.

I heard that the head chef of the restaurant is a high-end Western cuisine chef who returned from studying abroad. He's quite handsome in his white coat, and Shen Xing said he'd introduce me to him another day.

I sipped the porridge slowly and felt much better in my stomach. Lately, I've broken up with Mr. Jiang and haven't had much of an appetite, so I've been just eating whatever was convenient. It's rare for me to have a proper meal like today...

A moment later, I noticed Shen Xing staring at me, blushing, and saying, "Sis, you're so beautiful."

I tilted my head and asked him, "Didn't you see any prettier women than me on set?"

Shen Xing said, "No, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are the most beautiful."

"A man's words are deceitful. It's almost 6 o'clock, let's eat quickly, we still need to go back after we finish eating."

I laughed and glanced at my phone, but the moment I turned on the screen, I froze, not knowing what to do.

Because I saw the WeChat message from President Jiang. Although I deleted his WeChat account, he added me back. This was the first time he had contacted me proactively after we had completely deleted each other's contact information...

His message to me said he really wanted to see me, missed me so much... What should I do?
