The Secret of Second Marriage

I did not answer Shen Xing's question.

Just then, Mr. Jiang called again. I hung up and he called back, and I hung up and he called back again. After going back and forth like this until I reached my limit, I finally softened and answered his call.

Mr. Jiang asked me on the phone, "Man, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye yesterday? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

"President Jiang, I'm back in Beijing."

I appeared calm, but my emotions were churning beneath the surface.

Why?

President Jiang asked me.

I finally couldn't hold back my temper and yelled at Chongjiang: "What was I doing there? Watching you and your confidante flirt and talk about love?"

The night before, Su Mixue knocked on your door and threw herself at you. The next day, while you were inspecting a project at the company, she blatantly sent me a WeChat message saying that your white shirt was left with her!

How can I trust you?

You've misunderstood.

Mr. Jiang said to me seriously, "Man, when we were discussing the agreement yesterday, my assistant accidentally spilled coffee on my clothes, so I went to the changing room to change. As for the dirty clothes, I asked my assistant to take them to the dry cleaners."

To be honest with you, President Su was indeed trying to match me up with Su Mixue. During a break from discussing the collaboration, he had Su Mixue wear stockings and a skirt, putting on a show of feminine charm.

However, I had my assistant ask Ms. Su to leave. I'm not the kind of man who's promiscuous and wants to sleep with every woman he sees.

I find Su Mixue, that kind of PR woman, disgusting!

The atmosphere remained silent and oppressive.

I paused for a moment and then said, "President Jiang, let's go back to being friends for now. I'm a little tired."

Why?

Mr. Jiang said, puzzled, "I know you came to see me yesterday. I'm sorry you had to stay in the hotel all day. I've been busy with work lately and haven't been able to spend as much time with you as I could."

Man, please don't do this, okay? We just got back together, I can't lose you, I can't leave you!

"Wait for me. After I sign the contract and settle things here, I'll come back to see you right away. You can hit me or yell at me, it's all fine, just don't be angry with me."

"Then you can keep busy."

I said it very politely, and then hung up the phone.

Shen Xing stayed silently by my side the whole time; he knew I was in a bad mood.

He asked me, "Are you going shopping today? Or to see a movie? I'll go with you!"

"No need, I have things to do. Shen Xing, let's meet again later."

I shook my head and refused him.

"Sis, I'm going to film my next movie in Hengdian for three months. If you're unhappy, just give me a call."

Shen Xing smiled at me, then waved, jogged down the overpass, hailed a taxi, and probably went back to the studio.

I haven't checked Shen Xing's news for a long time. I just browsed Shen Xing's blog online and found that he is now a very famous male celebrity.

He holds concerts, acts in idol dramas, and appears on variety shows, achieving success in all areas. He is hailed as the most handsome male idol in the Chinese entertainment industry. I heard that he was even selected by a very famous director to star in a year-end holiday movie.

He's the real rising star.

I went to his Weibo account again and found a pinned message that publicly clarified that he currently does not have a girlfriend, is single, and that his previous on-screen couple with popular actress Yao Yuna was fake.

They were just filming a movie, but after filming ended, they had no contact off-screen and there were no rumors about them.

I took a walk on the overpass for a while to clear my head, then went back. It was still early, only a little past 8 o'clock, so I drove Tangtang to school myself.

In October, the osmanthus trees in front of the primary school were in bloom, filling the air with their fragrance.

Gu Jian has returned to his unit.

Before he left, he left his bank card and all his money with Zeng Wanwan.

Zeng Wanwan withdrew 1 yuan to pay my rent. I thought about it and accepted it anyway. Even if we're sisters, we should keep clear accounts.

I heard that the card contains all of Gu Jian's salary from the past five years in the army. His salary should be tens of thousands of yuan per month, and there is now more than 500,000 yuan in the card.

Zeng Wanwan said with a smile that she had never met such a simple-minded man.

I think that when Zeng Wanwan accepted his bank card, it meant that they were in a romantic relationship.

I'm really happy for her.

When I returned from dropping Tangtang off, I saw a notification in our group chat that the Republican-era spy drama we filmed was going to air on CCTV.

The show will start promptly at 8 PM tonight.

When I saw this message, my blood boiled instantly. That movie had been filming for several months, from the beginning of the year until almost July or August. The effort I put into it is still vivid in my mind…

The time has finally come for the movie to be released. I used to envy people who were stars, and now I can finally see my own movie on TV.

Although I only played a villainous second female lead, I'm still quite satisfied.

I went to the supermarket specifically to buy a hot pot and various vegetables, and put them in the refrigerator when I got home, preparing to cook hot pot and watch TV while eating dinner.

I feel much better now. What truly puts my mind at ease isn't the entanglement between me, Shen Xing, and President Jiang, but rather my career.

Women only realize when they reach a certain age that love may not be that important, it can't put food on the table, but career is the most important thing.

The TV series I filmed is finally going to premiere.

At 8 p.m., I, Tangtang, the nanny, Zeng Wanwan, three women and a little girl, sat around the living room eating hot pot. The TV was steaming and playing my drama.

I had a role in the very first episode, and when I saw my beautiful face appear on the TV screen, I cried.
