The Secret of Second Marriage

Looking at the neat and tidy handwriting, Juan suddenly thought of the male model she had hired yesterday. He had dark skin, but his silly smile was quite endearing.

Last night, she asked me to come out to a hotel for a massage. I was actually prepared to give her an extra tip, but I didn't expect to fall asleep in a daze last night.

Judging from his appearance, the boy wasn't a particularly cunning or shrewd person; otherwise, he would have stayed by her bedside until she woke up so she could pay the bill.

Juan glanced at it; the breakfast was exquisitely prepared. If she were a young woman in her early twenties, just beginning to experience romantic feelings, it would be wonderful to have a man get up early to prepare such a lavish breakfast for her.

She must have been very touched, but now she feels it's childish and doesn't feel much. Maybe she's past the age of pursuing love.

Perhaps she's just too mature.

Juan tore up the note and threw it in the trash can. She sat down and ate breakfast, casually ate a few bites of sausage and fried egg, drank a glass of milk, then went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She changed into a new dress, picked up her bag, and told the driver to pick her up from the hotel.

She still has many things to do. Since divorcing her ex-husband, she has received half of his assets and readily transferred the company's shares to him, which means she has nothing to do with that company anymore.

With the financial support of her family, she started her own business in middle age. She rented an office space just across the street from her ex-husband's company. The annual rent for the entire building was over a million yuan.

She has grand ambitions to start a company just like hers, to seize all of her ex-husband's company's resources and orders, and to drive that company out of business.

She wants to bankrupt her ex-husband and make his mistress pay the price!

Ju Xiaoya, the mistress, is now officially Liu Peng's girlfriend.

Their previously clandestine relationship was brought into the open, and the ex-husband even took his mistress to many banquets.

The mistress, dressed glamorously, took her place, smiling sweetly at the banquet, holding her ex-husband's hand, and helping with social interactions and networking.

Juan saw the videos and photos sent to her by her close friends, who all asked her what was going on with her husband. "How come her husband has a female confidante?"

Juan's heart was bleeding with pain. In middle age, she had experienced the most heart-wrenching betrayal in her marriage. This was her path, and also her predicament.

She has to get through this hurdle!

Juan thought it was time, so she posted her divorce certificate on her WeChat Moments with the caption, "Divorced, ready to start my life anew!"

The WeChat Moments exploded instantly.

After seeing Juan's message, I suddenly realized how incredibly brave she was to choose to publicly announce her divorce.

She chose to expose her wounds to the light of day, no matter how ugly the wounds were or how harsh the public opinion was; she would no longer hide or deceive herself.

A divorce is a divorce.

I replied to Juan's post on WeChat Moments: "Juan, be brave! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger someday. Keep going!"

Thank you, sister.

Juan quickly replied to my message and gave me a big hug.

At this time, other friends left comments under WeChat Moments asking, "Juan, you and Lao Liu have such a deep relationship. I remember you started dating in college and continued until you got married and started a business?"

It's been 20 years. What difficulties couldn't you overcome to get a divorce?

Then another friend chimed in, "Yeah, they say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Even the biggest arguments between husband and wife can't be resolved behind closed doors, so why get a divorce? Besides, you have two children."

Juan gave a shocking reply: He cheated on me, and I can't take it anymore!

Now all his friends shut up.

But at the same time, Juan's husband saw this post on WeChat Moments and immediately became furious.

During this time, they kept the news of their divorce a secret, and his company continued to negotiate business by leveraging the influence of his ex-wife's family.

Without this background, if the public divorce is announced, those previous resources will probably be lost.

Liu Peng's face turned cold. He called Juan and questioned her, "Even though we're divorced, we have two children. Didn't we agree to keep the divorce a secret? Everyone's saving face, so what's the point of you doing this? You're just making a fool of yourself!"

"I don't care anymore."

Juan said, "It doesn't matter anymore. I just want everyone to know we're divorced. Liu Peng, remember this: I'll take back everything I gave you, little by little. One day you'll be kneeling in front of me, crying and begging for my forgiveness, begging me to let you go, and I won't even give you a second glance, you scum."
