The Secret of Second Marriage

After receiving the call, President Jiang hesitated for a moment, then grabbed his coat and car keys and set off.

I quickly asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Jiang, how is your mother's health? I'm going to the hospital to help out too."

"Man, it's dark and cold outside. You stay home with Tangtang while I go to the hospital."

President Jiang said.

After he finished speaking, he immediately grabbed his car keys, went downstairs, and drove to the hospital.

With a loud rumble, around midnight, I heard thunder rumbling in the dark sky outside, followed by the sound of rain.

A bad feeling suddenly crept into my heart.

Mr. Jiang's mother is a strong-willed woman who owns a large company and has invested in a lot of real estate and stocks.

She never remarried after her divorce. In her early years, she worked too hard in her career, which took a toll on her health. In recent years, she has had some heart problems, so she handed over her company to a professional agent and semi-retired, spending her time traveling around the world...

I don't know why they suddenly returned to China? And why they're sick and hospitalized!

I have a feeling that a storm is brewing.

That night, I cuddled Tangtang to sleep, but I slept very lightly all night, checking my phone every now and then to see if there were any messages from President Jiang.

But until the next morning, Mr. Jiang did not send me any messages.

It's the weekend today, and I didn't feel like making breakfast when I got up. After changing my daughter's clothes and braiding her hair, I packed water and snacks, and also bought a bunch of nutritional supplements, such as bird's nest, ginseng, and donkey-hide gelatin.

I sent a WeChat message to Mr. Jiang: Is your mother's condition any better? Tangtang and I would like to visit her!

Mr. Jiang replied to me directly with a message: "Man, it's inconvenient. You stay home and wait for me."

My first thought was that President Jiang was a good man. Maybe his mother didn't like me, so he could reduce my chances of contact with her.

This way, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be avoided in the future.

But I underestimated the cold-bloodedness and horror of the wealthy. For an ordinary girl to enter a wealthy family, it really takes a lot of hard work. Jiang's mother didn't like me from the beginning. She preferred Zeng Wanwan, who was a better match for President Jiang.

Zeng Wanwan has broken ties with her family and gone to Tibet to meet Gu Jian.

Jiang's mother then asked a business partner to introduce Mr. Jiang to the daughter of the president of a mobile phone brand, a prominent corporate heiress named Tan Zhixia.

I thought my relationship with President Jiang was stable.

So during the day, I'm busy with my own things, but I spend my free time shopping and watching movies with my daughter.

My daughter, the nanny, and I went to the park, but we were photographed by paparazzi.

It became a trending topic on social media that very day.

After my divorce, I became a single mother, so the trending headlines in entertainment gossip media were about single mother celebrities taking their daughters and nannies to the park and riding the slides.

I waited until I got home with my daughter and had dinner before I saw my name trending on social media.

Paparazzi are really everywhere these days.

Fortunately, I dressed quite elegantly today, wearing a coffee-colored trench coat and my hair was half-braided and tied up with a silk scarf, which made me look pretty and aloof.

Mr. Jiang hasn't replied to my messages much today, and I haven't bothered him. I think his mother's condition might be very serious, and he's taking care of her at the hospital.

I can understand him...

Just before I went to bed that night, my daughter covered my eyes, hugged me from behind, bought me a small cake that she had been hiding all day, put candles in it, and told me to blow them out.

After I blew out the candles, my daughter took out a carefully prepared gift box from her schoolbag, which she had bought for me with her allowance.

I saw that my daughter gave me a wisteria flower hairpin, which I had always wanted. It is a velvet flower headdress made through intangible cultural heritage, and it is especially beautiful.

"Sweetie, this hairpin is beautiful, Mommy loves it."

"I love you mom!"

Tangtang kissed me and said, "I hope Mom is always happy and is the happiest mom in the world."

"Yes, my darling, may you always be happy."

I say.

My daughter and I ate cake, brushed our teeth, took a shower, changed into our pajamas, and then I put my daughter to sleep.

After my daughter fell asleep, I tiptoed out of the room and carefully packed the birthday present she had given me into a box. The velvet flower was beautiful, but also very delicate; it couldn't be exposed to oil or water…

I plan to wear this hairpin when I record this dating show.

After I put the hairpin away, I looked through my chat history with President Jiang. He probably forgot that today is my birthday...

I smiled. If Tangtang hadn't suddenly given me a cake and a gift, I probably would have forgotten it was my birthday. I've been so busy, I can't blame President Jiang.

I sent a message to Mr. Jiang, hoping that Auntie will get better soon!

Mr. Jiang replied with a message: "Man, thank you, I'm very busy here, I'll talk to you later."

I was about to turn off my phone and go to sleep when suddenly at 00:00, I received a WeChat message from Shen Xing.

He sent me a WeChat message saying, "Happy birthday, sis! May you be happy every day!" Attached was a red envelope and a cartoon he drew of me and Tangtang walking in the park today.

I didn't accept Shen Xing's red envelope, but I still said "thank you" to him.

……

The day before the recording of the program arrived quickly. I packed my luggage, handed Tangtang to the nanny, and prepared to drive the official car that General Jiang had given me to the program crew for the recording.

I don't have an agent, so I've been doing the work of 10 people all by myself. I have to pack my own luggage, plan the route, and coordinate with the production team. I've been incredibly busy.

At 10 a.m., just as I was about to leave, several men and women in black suits suddenly arrived. They looked like elites from a large company. One of the older men was probably the butler. They stood neatly at my door.

For a moment I was in a daze.

"Are you Miss Jiang? We are staff members sent by President Jiang's mother. This room should be President Jiang's house, and it is not lent to outsiders."

Please pack your bags and leave immediately!

Even if I were stupid, I could tell something was wrong. They clearly wanted to get rid of me, and I felt blatantly humiliated once again.

President Jiang, President Jiang, I have trusted you time and time again, but you have repeatedly put me in situations where I am humiliated and caught in a dilemma.

Have you even considered my feelings?

At that moment, my anger reached its peak. I, Jiang Man, am not the kind of woman who can be summoned and dismissed by any man at will.

I said coldly, "This house is basically being lent to me for free, I don't care about it. Listen carefully, it's your boss's wife's son, Jiang Hui, who begged me to move in, but now I'm not staying here."

Tell Jiang Hui that I've broken up with him, and don't come looking for me again!

After I finished speaking, I dragged five or six large suitcases and spent less than 50 minutes packing all my belongings, including those for me and Tangtang. I didn't take any of the gifts that President Jiang had bought for me.

Although I, Jiang Man, am poor, I still have backbone.

At that moment, I suddenly felt grateful to myself for not being blinded by love and relying on Mr. Jiang as my life's support, but instead choosing to rely on myself and take things one step at a time, which was more grounded.

Fortunately, Tangtang had already gone to school early and didn't witness the embarrassing and humiliating scene. If she had seen her mother being kicked out, how heartbroken would the little girl have been?

I took a deep breath, quickly packed my luggage, and prepared for the moment you'd see: Mr. Jiang suddenly rushed downstairs in his car, hugged me, and cried out, "Man, don't go!"

"Get out of here! Jiang Hui, you promised to protect me, you said you loved me. First Miss Zeng left, and now your mother has come. Why do you always leave me to passively accept the humiliation from your family?"

Am I not a person? Do I not have dignity?

"If you think I'm poor, then don't date me. If you listen to your mother, then don't marry me!"

I dragged my suitcase, expressionless, ready to leave.

President Jiang held my hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

He said, "If I lose you, there's no point in living. Man, I know it's my fault... My mother has a heart condition, and Xia Weiwei said a lot of bad things about you in front of her."

I've been at the hospital explaining to my mom for the past two days that I never imagined she would send someone to do something like this behind my back.

"It's my fault for not protecting you. You can hit me, yell at me, take your anger out on me however you want, just don't leave me, okay?"

"President Jiang, your mother doesn't like me. Do you know what that means for us?"

I suddenly sighed and said calmly.

For a moment, President Jiang didn't know what to say. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the right side of his face, which stung painfully.

He said, "Man, you're not allowed to leave. I'll transfer the ownership of this house to your name tomorrow. Consider it my guarantee. No one has any right to kick you out."

"Young master, what Madam means is that you can't be infatuated with a woman like that. She's a divorced woman with a child, and she's also a famous actress. She's not good enough for our family."

The housekeeper said, "Since Miss Zeng is not satisfied, Madam has arranged another blind date for you. In short, as long as Madam is here, she will not allow her to enter the house."

When I heard that, I was absolutely furious.

"Who cares?"

I say.

After I finished speaking, I started to break the hairs off one by one. President Jiang held my hand and said coldly, "President Jiang, it's actually good that your mother made these attitudes clear before the wedding. It's better than hiding them and then revealing them after the wedding!"

I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now.

So it's better for us to separate for a while. I hope that after this separation, we can just be friends.

I wish you a pleasant blind date!

"Man, you know I like you. I'm almost 30 years old. My mom can't interfere with my thoughts or influence my decisions."

I've been talking to my mom at the hospital these past two days. I've made my stance clear: you're the only woman I want to marry in my life. Please don't give up on me so soon, okay?

General Jiang caught up with him and pleaded desperately.

I couldn't bear it, so I sighed and said, "Then you should deal with your mother first."
