The Secret of Second Marriage

I stared at Shen Xing in shock: "You, how did you get here?"

Shen Xing noticed my expression wasn't as calm as before and said, "Sis, the director actually doesn't want you to leave either. He messaged me privately, saying that you're recording the show all alone, and President Jiang has left... asking if I'd be willing to come and save the day?"

If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't agree, but if it's you, of course I would!

I stared at him in silence for a long time, my emotions surging deep inside, and my eyes suddenly reddened.

"You shouldn't have come, Shen Xing. This was my own choice. I should accept the elimination process and leave quietly."

Shen Xing looked at me without saying a word, but he had already shown me through his actions that he cared about me; otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to accompany me to record the show.

When the show's director saw Shen Xing arrive, he immediately asked him to invite Shen Xing to the set to record the show as a surprise guest.

The lobby on the first floor of the production team's building was decorated in a warm and romantic style. The heating was on full blast, and the tables were filled with various late-night snacks, delicacies, and drinks.

The guests on our show were all dressed very nicely, and they sat together in pairs, chatting quietly.

I received help from the male guest at the crucial final moment.

The production team eventually announced that I was not eliminated, but Hao Yang, that arrogant young man, was eliminated and left the show.

Hao Yang's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He stood up and smashed his coffee cup. Suddenly losing control, he yelled, "Shen Xing, it's you! If you hadn't come, that woman would have been eliminated today!"

We entered the boy group competition together back then. Why did you debut with the first place and have millions of fans right from the start, and have such good resources afterward?

What about me? I'm on set every day, and they either complain that I'm too young or that I don't have any acting skills.

Do you know how hard it is for me? I finally managed to get a minor role on this dating reality show, and why do you have to steal my opportunities? All for this old woman!

"Shut up"

Shen Xing has always been known for his good temper in the entertainment industry, so why would he get angry?

He said, "I don't need you to tell me what to do! I just really like comics, and I'm openly supporting the woman I have a crush on on TV shows. There's nothing shameful about it."

"Fine, I'll remember you. Don't blame me!"

Haoyang never expected that all his hard work would end up being eliminated.

He left in anger.

To boost ratings, the production team filmed the scene of Haoyang and Shenxing arguing.

The recording of the show was completed that evening.

Xia Weiwei was furious when she saw that I had stayed. She went back to the hotel, threw a tantrum, and demanded to pack her bags and quit the show.

She made a scene late at night and found the director, threatening the production team: "Director, it's either her or me! Don't forget that I'm the daughter of the Xia Group, and many of your TV programs are sponsored by our company."

Also, Jiang Man is just an ordinary person and has no right to sit with me on the show.

The production team has offended me; it won't end well! Think it over yourself—either she leaves, or I leave!

The director patiently coaxed Xia Weiwei. When Yang Nan saw that his girlfriend was being bullied, he immediately acted like a lackey, carrying all the luggage. He demanded a result from the director, or he would leave immediately!

It looked like one of the guests was about to leave the show.

The director, producer, and executive director met in an office to discuss the matter. After some discussion, they came to a conclusion and instructed their staff to tell Xia Weiwei, "Ms. Xia, you can leave if you want! However, our production team has signed an agreement for you to temporarily withdraw from the show."

Disregarding the production team's arrangements and disrupting their filming schedule will not only result in no payment but also millions in breach of contract fees. You should think this through carefully.

"What—"

Yang Nan, who was always stingy, widened his eyes when he heard that he had to pay compensation. He immediately comforted the young lady: "Weiwei, I know you are very angry, but if you really leave, that bitch will get her way. She can take away all your resources on the show."

However, we'll stay and figure out a way to kick that bitch out sooner or later!

"Brother Nan, I really hate that woman... I really hate her. Why? Why did she steal my mother? Why did she steal my status as a young lady?"

Xia Weiwei had a resentful expression on her face.

Yang Nan said, "No, Weiwei, that woman just looks somewhat like you; she's just an imposter. How could she possibly be your sister?"

After weighing the options, the production team decided to keep Shen Xing and me, because Shen Xing is a top male celebrity, and any relationship he has could easily become a trending topic.

He wouldn't choose to eliminate Shen Xing and me for the sake of the show's ratings.

Currently, Xia Weiwei has not yet inherited the family business, and the Xia Group is still under the control of President Xia. It seems that President Xia and his wife are trying to establish a kinship with Jiang Man.

This is also one of the biggest highlights of the show.

The production team will absolutely not let me leave!

Yang Nan communicated with the production team several times, but seeing their firm attitude, he could only come back to coax Xia Weiwei.

In the evening, I returned to the small room where the production crew was staying, because I had switched rooms with Sister A earlier.

My room only has one bed.

Shen Xing didn't mind at all. She was very gentle and patiently called over the hotel staff, who brought clean blankets and sheets. She made a makeshift bed on the floor in my bedroom and living room.

There are cameras filming in the room at night.

I couldn't sleep, so after taking a shower, I casually put on a white silk nightgown with long legs and trousers. My black hair was loose, and I had delicate features, fair skin, and naturally red lips.

During my time as an artist, I also learned a lot about skincare and makeup techniques. There isn't a single ugly woman who can enter the entertainment industry and appear on camera.

In addition, I am already stunningly beautiful, so now I look more and more like a mature and glamorous female celebrity.

I sat on the sofa in the living room and said to Shen Xing, "Thank you for helping me out of this predicament once again."

Shen Xing noticed a hint of surprise in my eyes. Then, remembering that it was late and a bit cold, she went into her room, grabbed a coat, and draped it over my shoulders.

He smiled slightly: "Sister, no need to thank me. It was all my own choice. You don't need to feel guilty at all!"

In the living room, Shen Xing got up and made me a cup of black tea, steaming hot, and placed it in front of me. He added rose petals and brown sugar, saying that drinking this was good for my health.

The steam from the teacups wafted between us. Through the steam, I looked at Shen Xing. He was still so young and handsome, so beautiful that he seemed otherworldly.

He wore almost no makeup, but his skin was fair and translucent, his features were delicate, and his doe-like eyes were dark. He was exceptionally handsome, and it's safe to say that he would rank in the top ten of the most handsome male celebrities in the entertainment industry.

I gently held the teacup, swirled it around, took a sip of black tea, and didn't know what to say.

Neither of us spoke until Shen Xing finally broke the silence: "Where's President Jiang? Why isn't he with you?"

"He's very busy."

I said casually.

"Being busy, is that just an excuse?"

Shen Xing finally raised his head, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He said, "Sis, I know you must think it's abrupt that I suddenly came to record a show for you."

But as I said, no matter how busy I am, I will come to you when you need me.

Can you tell me, sister, what are your plans for the future?

"I plan to focus on my career. I plan to say goodbye to President Jiang. However, I don't hate him."

I said, "President Jiang has his reasons. There is no one else interfering in my relationship with President Jiang. We are just not suitable to be together."

For me, this relationship had a beginning and an end; there was no betrayal. So, it's pretty good this way.

"Sister, would you be willing to return to Hengdian and join Entertainment Emperor International Company?"

Shen Xing also drank a cup of hot tea, looked at me intently, and finally made up her mind to speak.

"Of course I'd like to."

I say.

I see no hope in President Jiang anymore; the only thing I can hold onto is my career.

If I could sign with Sister Qiong's company, it would greatly enhance my future career plans and access to company resources.

Many female celebrities in the industry are green with envy, desperately wanting to join that big company.

I want to join too.

I am willing to dedicate my entire career to the entertainment industry and focus on acting from now on.

So what if you're in your 30s? You can still film mature workplace dramas or romance and marriage dramas in your 30s.

Shen Xing said, "Sister, you really have a lot of talent in acting and you have high standards for yourself. I sent the video of your previous filming to Sister Qiong, and Sister Qiong said she would like to have a chat with you as soon as possible."

"Shen Xing, I know you've done a lot for me. You and your father don't get along, yet you managed to persuade Sister Qiong to sign a female star like me who's just starting to gain some fame."

You must have gone to see your dad, that famous director. Right?

Shen Xing, although I really want to join Sister Qiong's agency, I don't want you to do anything difficult for me.

Don't do that again next time.

I hesitated for a moment, then finally opened my mouth and spoke my mind.

Shen Xing's eyes reddened after I finished speaking.

He said, "Sister, you're the only person in this world who understands me best. Anything I do for you is worthwhile."

Just then, I received a WeChat reply from President Jiang on my phone.

He said, "Man, I'm sorry, I saw your message, and I haven't known how to reply to you all day."

I know you've been wronged, but I will absolutely not agree to break up.

I'm sorry, I can't keep my promise tonight.

However, I'll work on my mother's side. I've already made it clear that even if she doesn't agree, I'll still marry you. After the wedding, we'll live separately as a couple, and I'll visit my mother alone during holidays.

"Man, I promised I wouldn't let you suffer anymore."

I was stunned and said, "President Jiang, let's forget about it."

"Man, give me some time to sort this out. Goodnight, sweetie, you go to sleep first."

Mr. Jiang kissed me on the other end of the phone, his voice deep and magnetic, and then hung up.

Shen Xing asked me, "Sis, you're still going to stay with President Jiang, right?"

"I have no idea."

I whispered four words.

Breaking up in a relationship isn't that easy.

My heart seems dead, but not completely dead.

I don't know what will become of my relationship with President Jiang.

Shen Xing said, "Sister, no matter when, if you turn around, I will always be waiting for you."
