The Secret of Second Marriage

Jiang's mother glared at Jiang's husband, then suddenly couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed two tissues and started crying: "Jiang Hui, do you think I want to be the bad guy and break you two up? I've been through this before, I know what kind of relationship can last?"

If you're with her, she'll be a star. What good will she do for you in the future? Miss Tan is the real helpmate. Putting aside everything else, if you marry into the family, she'll bring billions of dollars in orders to the company.

You know that the real estate business has been tough these past few years, and our company's real estate projects have been losing money every year. Now is the best time for the new technology sector, and Ms. Tan can also bring some professional core technologies in mobile phone chips.

Mom is also thinking about the bigger picture. I hope you'll think it over carefully!

"Mom, I can compromise on everything else, but not on love. No matter how difficult it is, Man and I will try our best."

Jiang Hui said.

Jiang's mother questioned him: "Are you really determined to marry no one but this woman?"

"Um"

President Jiang said, "We've been through so many stories together, I can't live without her anymore."

Mom, I'm already over 30. I have my own ideas and plans regarding my marriage partner. Please respect that, and also respect my girlfriend.

"you--"

Jiang's mother never expected her son to be so disobedient. She suddenly burst into tears, and the more she cried, the more upset she became. She was so angry that her vision went black, and she clutched her chest and fainted from the pain.

I was utterly shocked by what I saw.

Everyone says that having a wicked mother-in-law is very difficult. I never expected that my mother-in-law would start playing the victim in front of her son before even entering the family.

Mr. Jiang's expression changed, and he immediately picked up his mother, got into the car, and drove towards the hospital.

I stood next to President Jiang and said, "President Jiang, I'll accompany you to the hospital to take care of your aunt."

Jiang's mother clutched her chest, her face pale, looking as if she were in considerable pain, possibly having a heart attack. She quickly refused, saying, "No, I can't afford to work with a scheming woman like you! If you go, I'll tell the doctor to stop treating you."

President Jiang didn't say anything, but he was very filial. In the end, he chose to leave me where I was and take my mother to get a medical check-up, X-rays, and medicine.

I watched the black car leave the helicopter training ground where the program was being filmed, slowly disappearing from the road and becoming a small black dot, until it reached the hospital.

It seems that President Jiang's mother is not in good health.

Once again, my feelings for President Jiang began to waver.

What's the point of this kind of love?

The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a problem that Mr. Jiang and I can never solve.

His mother just doesn't like me.

I'm past the age of having to muster up the courage to please others. Now that I'm over 30, I no longer want to please anyone.

If I like it, I'll watch it; if I don't, I'll move on. It doesn't matter.

Looking back on my experience with Mr. Jiang, I discovered several crucial moments when he either disappeared, chose to break up with me, or encountered various unexpected problems when our relationship was stable.

I got into the production crew's car and went back to the hotel where the show was being filmed, all by myself.

The male and female guests on the show were all out filming and dating.

Mr. Jiang asked the program crew for leave to accompany his mother to the hospital.

The program also filmed my meeting with President Jiang's mother, where she disliked me and even fell ill on the spot, requiring hospitalization.

A member of the production crew came over to comfort me, saying, "Ms. Jiang, it seems your date didn't go very well. Would you like me to take you upstairs to rest early?"

"That's fine too."

I went to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, swiped my card to open the door, entered my room, rested for a while, and at noon, I made myself a low-fat meal of boiled vegetables, boiled shrimp, beef, and eggs.

I've gotten used to eating low-fat meals to control my weight.

Just then, Shen Xing sent me a message saying, "Sister, I recommended a business card to you. It's Huo Qionghua, an agent from Yuhuang International Company. She's the godmother of mainland talent agencies, and all the artists she's managed have become movie stars."

She's very capable, sis. Add her on the list, and treat Sister Qiong to a meal sometime.

"Having a management company back you is much better than going it alone, sis, think about it."

"Thank you. How have you been?"

I said that I've been in the entertainment industry for a while now, unlike the newbies who were easily scammed by any entertainment company.

I know all too well how important a reliable agent is to an artist's career.

Sister Qiong is truly a top-notch female agent. She has access to all the resources in Beijing's entertainment circle, and the artists she promotes are all talented, low-key, and virtuous actors.

She refused to sign with any of the many female artists who wanted to join her company.

I never expected that Shen Xing would actually be able to get this powerful female agent's business card.

It seems that Shen Xing's background is much more complicated than I imagined, at least in the entertainment industry, he has a super wide network of connections.

Shen Xing said to me, "Sis, I'm fine. I'm filming right now. You focus on recording your show. Actually, you and President Jiang are a good match, so I won't bother you."

He's becoming more and more polite.

"it is good"

I say.

After chatting with Shen Xing, a news notification popped up on my phone. It was a Weibo headline: "The Urban Romance Film 'Ms. Man's Marriage and Love Story' will be released on November 12th. Stay tuned!"

I suddenly remembered that when we were filming that movie before, the director was very serious. The movie was adapted from my marriage and told the story of how I, as a full-time housewife, was betrayed, left with nothing, was almost stabbed to death by my mother-in-law, finally got divorced, successfully turned my life around, and became an actress.

The emotions are portrayed with exceptional delicacy and realism.

Is it finally going to be released? I'm so happy, another movie is about to be released.

I found a Maoyan app on Meituan and watched the trailer there. In the trailer, I played the female lead who, after being betrayed, was very meticulous. How did she discover her husband's infidelity? How did she collect evidence? And how did she finally use public opinion to fight back?

Even though it was just a short 1-minute movie trailer, I watched it for several minutes, my eyes filled with anticipation.

It was past 8 p.m. when Mr. Jiang was still taking care of his mother at the hospital.

The production team notified us to go down and record the show; all the guests had returned.

Xia Weiwei always seemed to be targeting me for some reason. When she saw that President Jiang wasn't with me, she said, "Jiang Man, you're really so inconsiderate! You're just a country girl from a humble background. You have no manners at all. You haven't even entered the family yet, and you've already made your mother-in-law sick and hospitalized."

"Someone like you, what wealthy family would let you marry into their family!"

"My affairs are none of your concern."

I casually retorted, "Xia Weiwei, you should mind your own business! I might not even care about marrying into a wealthy family."

I am indeed a little angry. It doesn't matter how Jiang and I are in a relationship. Even if we quarrel, we can solve our own problems as a couple.

However, when his mother was recording the show, she came over and asked to see what her son's girlfriend looked like and what her character was like.

In this kind of recording setting, he brazenly embarrassed me, even made me faint. I don't know if he was really faking it or not, but in any case, everyone thought that I was the one who made his mother angry.

I suddenly don't want to date President Jiang anymore.

I sent Jiang Hui a message: "Don't meet anymore. Your mother's illness can be cured by changing her wife. Miss Tan Zhixia is your mother's heartache. Mr. Jiang, you should go on a blind date."

Let's part ways amicably!

Jiang Hui didn't reply to my message.

I don't care anymore, I'm unilaterally announcing the breakup.

Dr. Xiao and Sister A went on a date, and it seemed that they were both quite satisfied with each other.

Sister A was attracted to Dr. Xiao's genes, education, and social status, since doctors are quite sought after within the system.

Sister A wants to have a baby.

Dr. Xiao also coveted A-jie's wealth. No matter what difficulties she encountered, A-jie always faced them head-on and solved them decisively.

He knew what it was like to be broke in his previous marriage. Diapers, formula, mortgage payments—everything cost money. His mother scrimped and saved to raise him until he started elementary school.

His ex-wife divorced him because she couldn't stand his family's poverty.

Mr. Jiang was quite satisfied with Sister A as his blind date. The two had started to show their affection on the show, holding hands, with Sister A looking shy and bashful like someone in love.

Xia Weiwei and Yang Nan are now officially together.

Gu Jian and Zeng Wanwan, hand in hand, a handsome couple, went to cook together.

Zeng Wanwan would lean her head on Gu Jian's shoulder, and the two would whisper and chat in the corner, looking like they were enjoying a peaceful moment.

Su Mixue possesses a natural allure and is very skilled at seducing men.

She met Shen Yi, a 40-year-old middle-aged film emperor, and was actually a little attracted to him. She married Shen Yi, hoping that with his resources in the industry, she could also act in movies and become a star.

Su Mixue was also tired of being a socialite at banquets, showing her face in public, and engaging in these dirty dealings with clients for her sugar daddy's company.

She wanted to clear her name after meeting Shen Yi, so she acted like a submissive little bird towards him, always humble and subservient, just like a socialite trained as a superstar's wife.

I never expected that in the end I would be all alone recording the show.

This show has paired up several couples.

That evening, Dr. Xiao discussed it with me, saying, "Man, A-jie and I have developed feelings for each other. Could you move in with A-jie at her hotel? If A-jie and I really become a couple, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Sure, no problem."

I never liked Dr. Xiao, but deep down I still felt a bit cold-hearted. I never knew men could be so pragmatic. One second they'd be going on a blind date with you, and the next they already had someone else suitable.

I don't want to be anyone's backup option.

I promptly gave up the presidential suite, packed my luggage, and went to Sister A's single room.

Oh, that's alright.

Although it was a bit small, the room was quite standard, with a large bed, a bathroom, a wardrobe, curtains, and a large chair on the balcony. There was no other furniture.

After I finished packing my suitcase and making the bed, I suddenly received a knock on the door from the crew of the TV show.

"Hello, Miss Jiang, our date is in the middle stage. According to the rules of our dating show, if you are left alone, you will be eliminated!"

Ms. Jiang, tomorrow everyone will write their wishes in bottles and choose their ideal partner. If a match isn't found, you'll have to leave the show. Do you understand what I mean?

"Okay, I understand."

I paused for a moment when I heard this rule and said,

"Ms. Jiang, your two most popular choices right now are President Jiang, a young entrepreneur, and Shen Xing, a top star from Hengdian. I suggest you invite them to be your romantic partners tomorrow. If neither of them shows up, then perhaps..."

"I understand, no need to say anything more."

I understand the rules of the game.

This show is all about viewership and audience appeal. If I don't go on blind dates or have any exciting moments, the show will eliminate me and choose new contestants.
