The Secret of Second Marriage

After Zeng Wanwan finished speaking to me, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Man, I made a bet with President Jiang. I bet he won't stay with me for three years for money, wealth, and status."

If we still haven't developed feelings for each other after three years, I will divorce him!

Do you know what? I thought I could win his heart in three years, but I didn't expect it wouldn't even take three years. He can't live without me. He misses me terribly if we don't see each other for more than three months!

Even if I were forced to marry President Jiang, I think it would be pointless.

"Ms. Zeng, I'm sorry. Mr. Jiang has indeed considered breaking up with me, and I haven't completely won."

I say.

Zeng Wanwan glanced at me, smiled, and said, "Sister Man, it's not so easy to enter a wealthy family. Although President Jiang loves you very much, his mother is a very strong and capable businesswoman."

His mother might not like you.

President Jiang's mother? I'm filled with curiosity about this mysterious woman.

Mr. Jiang has never mentioned his mother to me. The only thing he mentioned was that his parents divorced when he was very young.

Zeng Wanwan chuckled softly, then took out her phone and called her father, saying hesitantly, "Dad, I've broken up with President Jiang."

"What happened? Zeng Wanwan, I've spent so much money raising you to play the piano, dance, and learn foreign languages, and you're telling me you broke up with President Jiang!"

Mr. Zeng seemed very angry: "You know that Mr. Jiang's mother and I have almost finished discussing the marriage, and all our relatives and friends know that you are engaged!"

Now you're breaking off the engagement? Where are we supposed to put our pride? You've always been an excellent student, and you've never disappointed me like this before!

"Wanwan, did you do something to upset President Jiang?"

"No, Father. I suddenly feel that forced marriages are never sweet, and business marriages are meaningless."

Zeng Wanwan whispered.

She had always been an excellent daughter in her father's eyes, excelling in both academics and dress.

He has won numerous awards since childhood.

The last thing she wanted to do in her life was to disappoint her father.

Zeng's father said, "Nonsense! This is not a matter between the two of you, but a marriage alliance between two families and two companies."

A business marriage doesn't need feelings; you two just need to get married first and then cultivate feelings! Don't you really like President Jiang?

"Dad, it's because President Jiang has found a woman he likes."

Zeng Wanwan said, "He can't forget her, he still loves her, and he wants to marry someone else, not me! I don't want to be a backup option!"

I once said, "Even if I were to get married, I would marry a man who puts me first and foremost in his heart."

"Jiang Hui, has he gone mad? He doesn't even want my daughter! He just took over the business left by his father, and so many people are eyeing him and want to kick him out!"

I can help him establish himself in the company, and I can provide him with resources and connections. He doesn't even want that?

"Dad, for so many years I've lived strictly according to your requirements and standards, but this time, please let me choose my own marriage path."

Zeng Wanwan suddenly said.

But without a doubt, he was met with a barrage of insults.

Zeng's father told her, "You must marry President Jiang. This is a task entrusted to you by the family and the company. Zeng Wanwan, don't forget, all of the Zeng family's business resources will go to your younger brother in the future."

The men you and your two older sisters marry must be either rich or powerful, paving the way for your younger brother's future!

"Dad, am I really going to ruin my life for my own sake? I'm not a heartless vase; I'm a living, breathing person, your daughter!"

"If you don't meet my requirements, you don't deserve to be my daughter!"

The phone call ended abruptly...

This was the first time Zeng Wanwan had broken down in tears in front of me. So many times before, even though President Jiang didn't love her, she would just smile nonchalantly and still sincerely be my friend.

But this time, it was her father who truly broke her heart.

I didn't know how to comfort her.

"If you want to cry, just cry it out. It'll make you feel better."

I went up to her and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, thinking she would blame me and even hate me.

Zeng Wanwan cried in bed for a long time, but she still took my tissue, wiped her tears, sat up from under the covers, and said gently, "Sister Man, did you hear that? Actually, being a rich heiress isn't that easy."

My father was very strict with me from a young age. I was afraid of disappointing him, so I tried my best to do everything perfectly!

I thought the more outstanding I was, the more likely he would choose me as his successor, but I was so disappointed.

In his heart, my younger brother was the only heir he recognized; to him, I was just a pawn in a political marriage.

But now, I, this pawn, am no longer willing to be manipulated by him. A marriage alliance? Hah, get out of my way!

"Are you going to rebel against your family?"

I say.

Zeng Wanwan said, "Sister, I'm not being rebellious, I'm just giving up!"

Ever since I turned 18, my family has been pressuring me to get married. But I can tell that those rich kids often go to nightclubs and date young women, and they're very promiscuous. They're dating young models in their twenties and thirties.

Mr. Jiang is one of the few men in this circle who are clean-living and self-disciplined. I originally wanted to marry Mr. Jiang so that we could each do our own thing and not interfere with each other after marriage!

But it seems that won't work, Mr. Jiang likes you! When I was with him, he never touched me, even when I tried to hold his hand, he would subtly avoid me.

I knew he never loved me!

But you don't need to worry about me.

I have a high level of education; I graduated from a 985 university. I plan to take the civil service exam so I won't rely on my family for support anymore.

I chatted with Zeng Wanwan and found that she is a very open-minded girl.

She had always worked very hard to live her life and become outstanding, in order to prove to her father that she was no less than any man.

But that phone call made her realize that no matter how strict she was with herself, her father was never satisfied with her.

Over the years, the person her father truly valued was her younger brother.

Zeng Wanwan was exhausted and started to give up. She no longer accepted the arranged marriage arranged by her father and wanted to have her own life.

She's only 25 years old, but she's decided to take the civil service exam.

After passing the exam, she no longer needed to rely on her family's money and could support herself with a stable job.

Among the children of wealthy families, I admire Zeng Wanwan's clear-headed, rational, and insightful nature.

I said, "Wanwan, you are a very outstanding girl. You are very smart, and you want to know what you want. I believe that one day you will be happy. That happiness is something you will earn yourself."

"Sister Man, let's be good friends."

Zeng Wanwan suddenly said.

The two of us girls suddenly looked at each other in the room and burst into laughter through our tears.

Just then, President Jiang called.

His first question was, "Man, did Miss Zeng give you any trouble?"

"No, but Miss Zeng is still in a bit of a bad mood!"

I answered truthfully.

President Jiang said, "Give her the phone; I have something to say to her."

"What are you trying to say?"

Although I asked that question, I still cautiously handed the phone to Zeng Wanwan.

On the phone, President Jiang resumed his usual cold and aloof tone, saying to Zeng Wanwan, "Hello, Ms. Zeng! There's something I need to explain to you. It was all my fault before."

I was too selfish. I reflect on myself, but it's okay!

I know that breaking off the engagement has damaged your reputation, and it's all my fault, so I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry.

"Jiang Hui, I'm not as petty as you think! I really like Sister Man. I could tell from the beginning that she's a very upright older sister."

I can also tell you're not interested in me, so let's part ways amicably.

After finishing the call, Zeng Wanwan handed the phone back to me, laughing as she said, "Did you hear that? He called to protect you!"

I blushed.

……

On the third day of filming, Shen Xing withdrew from the production, citing filming schedule and cash flow problems.

The production team arranged a second guest star – a military officer instructor who was extremely handsome, a retired special forces soldier, and supposedly had some connections.

He was tall and upright with a resolute face, and even in casual clothes, he exuded a tough guy vibe.

His name is Gu Jian.

The show currently has 5 female guests and 5 male guests.

The first two days of dating went quite smoothly for Xia Weiwei and the startup CEO, Kai Ge.

Kai was also very satisfied with Xia Weiwei's looks; she was a typical "rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned" woman. On their first date, they drove their sports car to Kunming Lake for a photo opportunity.

The next day, they went on a cruise and invited many of Kai's wealthy second-generation friends from the area.

I heard that on their second date, the female internet celebrity Michelle, who has millions of followers, was dating Haoyang.

The four of them became good friends on the show. The next day, when they went on a date, the four of them and a large group of young rich kids agreed to go on a cruise ship, wear bikinis, eat fruit, drink red wine and have a party on the cruise ship.

They looked like successful men and women.

The production team all thought that Xia Weiwei and Kai Ge were paired up.

So on the third day, the director asked the female guests on the show to choose the male guests.

Each female guest was given a slip of paper with the name of her favorite male guest written on it.

If the match is successful, we can go on a date today.

Without hesitation, I wrote down President Jiang's name, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, President Jiang will also write down my name without hesitation.

But I didn't expect that after the results were announced, Xia Weiwei's date was actually the handsome new special forces soldier, Gu Jian.

The woman who became a social media influencer with millions of followers, Michelle, wrote that her date was actually President Jiang.

Sister A's crush is Shen Xing, but unfortunately Shen Xing is absent from the recording of the program.

As for Zeng Wanwan, her cold had gotten a little better, and she felt that she should part ways with President Jiang amicably. Now that they had broken up, she could also stay with the production team to see if she could meet a suitable male guest.

Her dating profile was left blank.

After the program announced the results, I could see that the startup CEO, Kai, looked extremely unhappy.

He always thought he had Xia Weiwei wrapped around his little finger, but to his surprise, Xia Weiwei took a fancy to the new male guest and left him aside.

He immediately changed his mind and filled in Xia Weiwei's best friend, Michelle.
