The Secret of Second Marriage

My eyes welled up with tears. To be honest, even Tangtang's biological father couldn't do this, staying by her side all night while she was sick.

Jiang and I were both exhausted that night. When it was dawn the next day, I touched Tangtang's forehead and her fever had subsided.

The next morning I stayed to keep Tangtang company.

Mr. Jiang was worried, so he personally bought breakfast and placed it by the bedside, reminding my mother and me to eat breakfast.

I said to General Manager Jiang, "I'm sorry, I kept you at the hospital all night last night, and you didn't get much sleep. You still have to go to work today! General Manager Jiang, I..."

"There's nothing more to say, Man. Since I've chosen you, I'll treat Tangtang like my daughter. Tangtang will have the fatherly love that other girls should have!"

My last words are: Remember to eat well and don't overwork yourself.

I'll finish my work and come over to take over tonight!

President Jiang gave me a hug and left the hospital with reluctance.

I watched Mr. Jiang leave the ward, then returned to Tangtang's bedside, opened a bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge, and fed her little by little.

Tangtang's fever has subsided, but her appetite is still weak. She only ate a few mouthfuls of pumpkin porridge and then didn't want to eat anymore.

She took my hand, looked at me with her round eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, you haven't sung to me to sleep in so long... I want to hear 'Counting Ducks'."

When I heard those words, my heart was bleeding. My daughter is still only six years old.

During this time, I was going through a divorce and busy filming, so she must have suffered a lot of grievances.

She's really well-behaved, winning awards every year, and I've never had to worry about anything at school.

I held my daughter's hand, sat by her bedside, and gently sang to her to lull her to sleep...

During the three days that Tangtang was hospitalized, Mr. Jiang spent almost 24 hours a day with my daughter and me, apart from handling work.

It wasn't until 10 a.m. on the third day that we completed the discharge procedures, and Mr. Jiang drove to pick us up and take us home.

There was a pretty doll, a large bouquet of flowers, and a small cream cake in his car to celebrate Tangtang's discharge from the hospital.

Tangtang was overjoyed to see her gift in the car.

I touched Tangtang's forehead, hugged her, kissed her, and said, "Tangtang, Mommy has something to tell you."

"Is it related to Uncle Jiang?"

Tangtang is so clever; she guessed the feelings between us adults long ago.

I nodded and said, "Yes, Mom is dating your Uncle Jiang."

"Mom, you can give Uncle Jiang another chance this time, but if he chooses to abandon you again, you can't be soft-hearted again, okay?"

Tangtang was sitting in the back row and whispering something in my ear.

She still hasn't forgotten how President Jiang dumped me to get engaged to a rich girl.

I took a deep breath and agreed to Tangtang's request.

Mr. Jiang, sitting in the front seat driving, asked us in a low-key and humble manner, "Tangtang, what are you whispering with your mom? Can Uncle Jiang hear us?"

"No, Uncle Jiang, this is a secret between Mommy and me."

The little devil smiled knowingly.

To celebrate Tangtang's discharge from the hospital, I, Mr. Jiang, and Tangtang went to Tangtang's favorite restaurant for lunch.

This restaurant mainly serves Cantonese cuisine, which is particularly light. Considering that Tangtang's appetite had just recovered, President Jiang ordered steamed grouper, braised sea cucumber with scallions, stir-fried rapeseed, and winter melon chicken soup.

These dishes greatly preserve the freshness of the ingredients.

Mr. Jiang, Tangtang, and I were having a meal together like a family of three.

This restaurant used to be a favorite of Tangtang's, but because it's expensive, I've taken her there very rarely.

My ex-husband was always busy with work and social engagements, and he never celebrated his daughter's birthday with her or knew what she liked to eat.

President Jiang added some food to my and Tangtang's bowls.

I can sense that he is trying to be a good stepfather.

The three of us finished lunch.

Mr. Jiang arranged for his driver to go back to our rented apartment, move all of Tangtang's and my belongings out, and into his residence…

I feel like I'm about to refuse.

Mr. Jiang said, "Man, I'm not a heartless man. This time, I want to take responsibility for you! Move in with me, and I'll marry you!"

He is indeed a man who can easily win a woman's heart; I'm smitten with President Jiang.

I finally decided to pack all my belongings and move them into Mr. Jiang's house. I hope that this time I won't have to pack my bags and move out of his house again.

My relationship with Mr. Jiang has come a long way and can't withstand much more hardship.

I have a feeling that if I find out Jiang has betrayed me again, I may never forgive this man again.

I told Zeng Wanwan when I moved.

Zeng Wanwan said that since I'm dating President Jiang, it would be great to move in with him.

I told her I had paid a six-month deposit for the house so she could live there without worry, and that I had left her the keys.

As I was leaving, Zeng Wanwan gave me a hug and said, "Sister Man, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I won't take the keys."

You should ask the landlord to refund the rent for the past six months; it should be at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

As for me, don't worry. Gu Jian is stationed in Xinjiang, and he told me it's a paradise with blue skies, white clouds, and lush green grass.

I want to rent a place there so I can focus on preparing for the civil service exam!

"How could this be so sudden? Didn't I accompany you to that hotel interview a few days ago and you passed the interview and were invited to work as a lobby manager?"

I asked her, somewhat surprised.

"Something unexpected happened," Zeng Wanwan said. "After I broke off my engagement with President Jiang, my father wanted to sever our father-daughter relationship. He even stopped accepting my bank cards, and he spread rumors that if anyone dared to hire me, he would ruin that company."

The hotel I interviewed with didn't know my identity, and my father later sent someone to warn them. They're afraid to let me work there, and I can't find any work in Beijing.

"No matter what, you should still keep this key, Wanwan. Sometimes, men aren't reliable. Let me tell you something: it's okay to date Gu Jian, but don't give yourself away too quickly."

Once a man has a woman's body, he will no longer be faithful. You need to see through a man's character before deciding whether to be with him.

If one day you break up with Gu Jian and find that he's not the kind of man you imagined, come back to Beijing and live in this house. This key is your sister's backup plan!

"Sister, you're so kind!"

Zeng Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears as I spoke; she was moved too. Sometimes, the friendship between girls is just that sincere and beautiful.

I left the room key with Zeng Wanwan and took my daughter to Mr. Jiang's house by car.

It took about three trips to move all the items.

Life returned to its usual tranquility, and after her daughter recovered from her illness, she went back to school.

President Jiang is very busy every day, busy with work-related matters.

I've become famous, taken on gigs and endorsements, and am not often at home anymore.

I have my lawyers handle all my matters, including the contract termination lawsuit with my agency and some legal disputes with my agent, Xie Xue.

Xie Xue was also afraid of going to jail, so she gritted her teeth and agreed to my three conditions.

I successfully terminated my contract with my original agency. At the same time, Xie Xue returned all the money she had pocketed and transferred more than 300 million yuan into my account.

Finally, she posted an apology on WeChat Moments, Weibo, and her official WeChat account last week, publishing an apology letter of several thousand words.

Although she apologized, it couldn't salvage her reputation.

She has been branded as a vicious agent and is now being publicly shamed. Many artists who were bullied by her have come forward to expose Xie Xue's past bullying behavior online after I won my lawsuit.

A week later, in the presence of police officers at the police station, Xie Xue and I signed a mediation agreement, stating that we would not pursue her lawsuit for defamation against me in the future.

Xie Xue has been released from the detention center...

She glared at me with hatred: "Jiang Man, I'll remember you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been detained for seven days!"

"You brought this on yourself, you deserve it!"

I have no mercy for this villain. Now that I have achieved my goal, I never want to see such a despicable person again.

I drove my BMW, wearing sunglasses, with two bodyguards behind me, and left the police station in a very dashing manner.

At the same time, the dating reality show I participated in before aired on Hunan TV. The show instantly became a dark horse, with a particularly high number of trending topics and discussions online, and it even made it onto more than a dozen trending searches.

I took out my phone, opened Weibo, and saw that my name was among the top three or four trending topics.

Jiang Zong, Shen Xing, and I formed two separate couples. After seeing my date with Shen Xing the day before, many netizens felt that we were a perfect match as a "puppy-dog" relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

My younger brother is gentle and handsome, and my older sister is domineering and brave. They say that the two of us together have great charisma and a strong sense of being a couple.

However, some netizens ship me and President Jiang as a couple. President Jiang is a female celebrity in the entertainment industry, and I am the president of a company. We are of similar age, mature, and well-matched.

Jiang and I are a domineering CEO and mature woman couple.

I don't know why these two couples are trending so much online, and there's even a competition between them, with the number of likes exceeding one hundred thousand...

I must be lucky. After leaving my ex-husband, everything I do goes smoothly. I became a star in acting, and now many actresses are asking me to act in scripts for villainous roles. My schedule is booked until next year.

The dating reality show I participated in became a hit as soon as the first episode aired, trending on all platforms.

His net worth has soared, and during this period alone, he has earned tens of millions from TV shows and various GG endorsements.

I never imagined that the entertainment industry could be so lucrative and profitable.

No wonder so many people are desperate to become famous!

I feel like I'm dreaming. Just over a year ago, I was just an ordinary housewife, staying at home taking care of my children and husband.

But now, after my divorce, I'm doing very well. Through my own hard work and talent, I've acted in several movies, appeared on television, recorded programs, and become a female celebrity.

I have over 1000 million yuan in my bank account now. I'm just sitting there earning interest. Even if I stop acting in the future, I shouldn't starve.
