The Secret of Second Marriage

I'm an adult now, and over the years I've given my parents, my brother, and my sister-in-law far too much money.

Everyone says that the road back to one's parents' home is paved with money. I save money and live frugally, and I can't bear to replace my phone even when the screen is cracked, but I bought my brother a phone worth more than 1 yuan and my sister-in-law cosmetics worth several thousand yuan.

My mother took all the savings I had before the divorce.

When I was divorced and had nowhere else to turn, I tried to go back to my parents' home for help, but I was ruthlessly rejected.

From that day on, I knew that in this lonely metropolis, I had no way out and could only rely on myself.

Now that I'm alive again, I will no longer show mercy to anyone.

I turned off my phone and went to sleep.

After taking a shower, President Jiang kissed my forehead and fell asleep holding me.

The sound of wind and rain came from outside the window all night. Autumn rain always chills people's hearts. The cold wind blew the sycamore leaves downstairs in the community and scattered them all over the ground.

I didn't soften my heart that night.

I should have severed ties with my family a long time ago.

It's not that I'm ruthless, but if I soften my heart even slightly, they bite me like snakes, sucking my blood dry and then cursing me for being unfilial!

In my previous marriage, I reflected on the fact that my ex-husband's feelings for me deteriorated in the later stages, and this might have been part of the reason.

He thinks my family is like Voldemort, so he looks down on me.

As a girl who is neither loved by my father nor my mother, I have suffered so much injustice to get to where I am today.

But I'm not alone anymore; I have a daughter and President Jiang.

I put my arms around President Jiang's waist, rested my head on his chest, listened to his heartbeat, turned to my side, put my legs on his legs, and fell asleep nestled against him.

When you reach middle age, having a reliable man by your side makes you feel more at ease when you sleep.

The next morning, President Jiang finished getting ready and went to work.

After dropping my daughter off at school, I met up with Juan to go shopping and have tea.

Juan's company is thriving.

She was always a free-spirited woman, and now she has emerged from the shadow of her divorce. She was wearing a smoky gray long dress embroidered with butterflies, with big wavy hair and exquisite makeup.

She arrived at the mall's coffee shop with an air of confidence, wearing high heels, and asked me to have dinner with her.

Her driver, Tiger, had a short buzz cut, dark skin, was very tall and handsome, and had a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile. He followed behind her and helped her carry her things.

Tiger called her "sister" repeatedly, showing great admiration.

Juan came up and gave me a warm hug, saying, "Man, you're a big star now, that's amazing!"

Many of my friends are watching the TV series you starred in, "The Spy Who Loved Me." They were shocked and envious when they learned that you were my friend.

"Wait, you'll have to give me a few autographs, okay?"

"Of course, no problem."

I say.

Tiger said, "Sister Man, your acting in that drama was amazing! After it aired on TV, it became the most popular drama in the country this year. It's so popular! A lot of my friends are watching it! You're really amazing!"

"This is not my achievement alone. The production team, production quality, and director of this TV series are all very impressive. The script is also excellent, which is why it became such a hit."

I said it very modestly.

Juan and I went shopping and bought a lot of pretty dresses, autumn clothes, shoes, and even got our hair done.

Juan wanted to share some private thoughts with me, so she waved goodbye.

Tiger was very observant. He put the things in the trunk of his car in the parking lot, then stood guard at the restaurant entrance, keeping an eye on Juan's safety at all times.

Juan said, "Man, let me tell you about my ex-husband. He and his mistress really got their just desserts. There's a saying that goes, 'He who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth!'"

When he was with me, his career was on the rise, and he became the boss of a private company worth tens of billions.

He got carried away and started keeping a mistress, his first love, on the side. They even had twins together, keeping it a secret from me, living a life of having a home outside of his own.

But now he's in a terrible situation. Ever since he married his mistress, all his investments have gone down the drain, and he's now burdened with a mountain of debt.

My company is competing with him again, with the same channels, orders, and customers. I've also poached a group of key employees from his original company with high salaries. Now he's about to be squeezed into bankruptcy by me.

Heh, serves him right!

"Juan, you're really amazing!"

I gave Juan a thumbs up.

Juan has always been a leading lady. Her family is in business, and she has been involved in the business world since she was a child. She may seem carefree, but she is actually more shrewd than Wang Xifeng.

She cried for a while when she got divorced, but she quickly came to terms with it.

She now raises flowers and dogs, decorates her home beautifully, and with the help of her family's resources and connections, has invested over 100 million yuan to start a company that does the same business as her ex-husband.

She built a thriving business, and her ex-husband invested in several projects, only to be caught in the real estate crash, losing all his money and never getting it back.

His company in Beijing lost most of its orders when Juan divorced him, and now it's barely surviving. I heard they won't be able to pay salaries next month.

Juan's eyes flashed with hatred as she gave a cold laugh and said, "I'm the kind of person who will never allow anyone to betray me! Especially not a man!"

My ex-husband must be regretting it now. He thought he had made a name for himself all these years through his own abilities, but he didn't know that without the help of my family, he would still be the poor boy he was back then, worthless!

Unfortunately, all these years my sincerity has been wasted on a dog. Now I'm going to expose this dog for what it truly is! Let's see if the mistress really loves him, is willing to suffer with him, and is willing to help him rebuild his life.

I said, "Juan, you did the right thing. From the moment he betrayed your marriage, he became a stranger to you."

Juan asked me, "How's your relationship with President Jiang? You almost lost your life last time trying to tip him off."

You need to be careful during this time. I heard from a friend in the business world that General Manager Su of the Su Group lost his temper and even hit Su Mixue.

The contract was about to be signed, and President Jiang was about to receive his 8 million yuan. However, just a few hours before the signing, President Jiang learned of the conspiracy behind it.

He immediately terminated the contract and returned to Beijing. In just three days, he swiftly investigated the financial situation of several department managers under his uncle and sent them to jail on charges of embezzlement.

He eventually got several of his uncle's top executives to oust the company due to financial problems... At the same time, he also broke ties with his good brother Wang Hao, who had betrayed him!

This man is exceptionally resourceful and intelligent…

I never imagined that the newly appointed head of Jiang Group would take down that old fox, his uncle, in just three days, thwart his conspiracy, and firmly establish himself in the group.

"He's really amazing; he's a business genius."

I say.

Juan looked at me and sighed with a hint of disappointment: "Man, you've made the most common mistake a woman can make: being too soft-hearted!"

You have no idea how treacherous people can be in the business world.

Although President Jiang has resolved the crisis, the Su Group has already set its sights on you. You have no idea how ruthless and insane these rich people can be!

If they want to target someone, they have plenty of ways to target you... That's all the advice I can give you, be careful!

"Um"

After hearing this, I felt a chill run down my spine and said, "Juan, thank you. You are my benefactor, and you will be my benefactor for life!"

I've arranged for bodyguards to be with me 24 hours a day, and I'll be extra careful during this time!

Juan and I were having coffee, afternoon tea, and the restaurant's signature curry rice.

Just as we were having our meal, Juan's ex-husband suddenly showed up at our door.

After his divorce from Juan, he quickly fell off the Forbes list and invested in several projects, all of which went down the drain.

He came looking for Juan with red eyes, but unfortunately he was stopped by Hu Zi at the entrance of the coffee shop.

Tiger said directly, "I'm sorry, sir, but the young lady doesn't want to see you!"

"She's my wife, what right do you have to stop me?"

Liu Peng was already furious.

He said, "I've been waiting for three days, Juan. I know you still care about me as your husband."

"We're husband and wife after all. For the sake of our two children, please don't push things so far. Let me talk to you, okay?"

"Let him in."

Juan sat up straight and said coldly.

She sipped her coffee gracefully, not even glancing at her ex-husband when she opened her eyes.

Tiger never disobeyed the female CEO's orders, so he stood aside and let Juan's husband into the coffee shop.

Liu Peng looked at Juan, then at me, and suddenly knelt down in front of us, hugging Juan's legs and saying, "Wife, we've been husband and wife, please don't be so ruthless, okay? I know I was wrong!"

I used to be arrogant, thinking the company was so big because of my own abilities. Now I realize that without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today!

After the divorce, I invested all the current deposits in the company's account into several real estate projects. Those projects have already been developed and are just waiting to be marketed.

But unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, the person in charge of the property was arrested. It is said that he was involved in a lot of crimes such as bribery in the past. The property assets were frozen and could not be sold to the public.

Where can I find someone to reason with?

Our original company has been completely overwhelmed by a newly established company. That company has taken away our resources and key technical personnel, and now our company can't even pay its employees' salaries next month!

"Juan, can you help me? Could you give me 2000 million yuan for an emergency?"

He grabbed Juan's skirt tightly, pleading desperately.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I help you?"

Juan sneered and flung his hand away: "Liu Peng, have you lost your mind? We're divorced. Your company is having problems; you should go back to your current wife."

You feel sorry for that mistress, don't you? You've spent a lot of money on her over the years, haven't you? If you're so short of money, make her cough it all up!

You bought her family a villa and a motorhome, arranged jobs for her brother's family, and even bought her so much jewelry and auction items.

Why don't you go find her? Why are you looking for me?

"Juan, Xiaoya has already helped me a lot. She used all her money to fund the real estate project we invested in before, and we lost everything."

She has remained loyal to me, so please don't make things difficult for her anymore!

I know I've wronged you! You slapped me a few times to vent your anger, but for the sake of the child, could you help me through this company crisis?

Liu Peng was speechless after being confronted with this, his face turned extremely dark, his jaw muscles clenched, and he looked like he wanted to devour Juan.
