The Secret of Second Marriage

Neither of you said anything.

But the show's cameras had somehow captured us hugging.

After a long time, probably past midnight, Mr. Jiang gently released me from his embrace, lowered his head, and gently tucked his long black hair behind my ear. His eyes were red as he said to me, "Man, it's late. I'll get a room, let's rest together!"

Just then, I received a call from Dr. Xiao. He asked me, "Man, it's dangerous for you to go out alone. It's so late and you haven't come back yet. I'm quite worried about you. Do you need me to go down and look for you?"

"No"

I said, "Dr. Xiao, I think I made myself very clear during dinner today. We're not a good match. I know you came on this show to find a partner."

But that's impossible for us now. I hope you can find someone you truly love.

"Okay, then remember to come back. I won't look for you anymore."

Dr. Xiao said, "Jiang Man, sometimes I think you are a very smart woman, and sometimes I think you are a bit clueless."

At our age, starting a second marriage is actually beneficial for everyone.

You're no longer a pretty seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and I'm a woman in my thirties. Do you really think I'd still naively believe that a man would love you for who you are, without wanting anything in return?

"Dr. Xiao, you are highly educated and very handsome, but I, Jiang Man, am not bad either!"

Although I am a divorced woman, I still have the right to choose my partner.

I'm not naive enough to think that people who approach me don't want anything in return, but I'd rather spend my life with a man who truly loves me and with whom I have feelings.

Instead of weighing the pros and cons and coldly calculating material things, the right choice should be made in the end!

In short, I don't like overly materialistic men! No matter how good their looks or education, I can't afford to love them!

"you--"

Dr. Xiao was somewhat embarrassed and angry that I had exposed her true thoughts, so she hung up the phone.

Whatever.

Men often say that women are materialistic, but actually many men are much more materialistic than women!

President Jiang asked me, "Who is Dr. Xiao?"

"A friend of mine, who's also divorced, was someone the show's producers wanted to set us up, but as you heard, I refused!"

I say.

I sensed a hint of jealousy and resentment in Dr. Xiao's words.

President Jiang kissed me and said, "Man, it's only been two days, and another man is trying to steal you away. Last time it was that little puppy Shen Xing, and this time it's Dr. Xiao. I'll keep a close eye on you; I can't let my wife run away."

Seeing that President Jiang was still in the mood to joke, I sighed and said to him very seriously, "President Jiang, I know your mother doesn't like me, so I can't be willful and make trouble for you in this matter!"

Your mother's considerations and concerns are actually quite reasonable. As a mother, she hopes her son will become successful and that he can marry a woman of equal social standing.

I am a girl from the countryside. I was not loved by my father or mother when I was young. I struggled and stumbled my way up. I have experienced darkness, witnessed the coldness of human relationships, and also experienced being deceived by men and having my marriage broken!

Now I'm not afraid of anything...

I'm not lying to you, but the thought that your mother would object to us being together makes me really sad.

Let's not contact each other for a while. You do your thing, and I'll do mine.

And I just heard my aunt say she really wants to see me, and I agree. You can arrange for me to meet with her anytime, but you need to let me know in advance so I can prepare a gift!

At this point, I added subtly, "I'll cooperate with whatever is needed. As for Auntie's side, if she doesn't agree, I don't want to continue... to put you in a difficult position."

I'm telling the truth.

When you're young, you're bold and daring. The more your parents oppose it, the more you insist on being together despite all the pressure.

But now, I'm much more clear-headed and mature. I need to make a conscious choice about a marriage that isn't blessed by my parents. Otherwise, if I make the wrong choice, the conflict between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be like an abyss, tormenting me to the point of wishing I were dead.

I don't want my second marriage to be filled with the daily turmoil of conflicts between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, leaving Mr. Jiang caught in the middle, torn between two difficult choices.

Even though we were so close, Mr. Jiang sensed my indifference and rejection. He tried to reach out and grab me, but I took three steps back and turned away.

"Let's both calm down, okay? You go ahead and do your work!"

"Man, I won't give up! I will definitely get my mom to accept you, even if it's slow, I'm determined to do it!"

President Jiang said firmly.
