The Secret of Second Marriage

I looked at President Jiang with some surprise.

Shen Xing, tall and thin, stood in front of me and angrily said to President Jiang, "Didn't you say you would protect her?"

Jiang Hui, do you realize how irresponsible you are by leaving her all alone on the set today, all alone during the recording?

Mr. Jiang ignored Shen Xing, instead walking right past him, grabbing my hand, and pinning me against a corner of the corridor. He said, "Man, I'm sorry, you can hit me, you can yell at me, just don't ignore me, don't break up with me!"

"President Jiang, I'm tired. Let's stop here."

I suddenly pushed his hand away and said.

"Don't go..."

Mr. Jiang tried to pull me away, but I was in a fit of anger, so I shook off his hand, took the room key, and went into the room.

Shen Xing said to President Jiang, "Man is a very, very good woman. If you don't know how to cherish her, then let me give her happiness!"

"My affairs with her are none of your business, Shen Xing. Jiang Man is already my woman. You're always thinking about other women, aren't you ashamed?"

President Jiang was a little angry.

He was already a very gentlemanly and respectable man who rarely got angry, but he still couldn't accept that his girlfriend was being targeted by other men.

"My feelings for her are my own business, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm warning you one last time: if one day you truly break Man's heart, I will marry her, and I will give her a home in this unfamiliar city!"

Shen Xing said.

"You'll never get that chance."

President Jiang snorted coldly and turned to leave in anger.

Shen Xing wanted them to comfort me, but at that moment his agent arrived, and the business car arranged for him was already downstairs at the company.

The agent ran quickly, panting, and said, "Shen Xing, let's go. Hurry up, we have a scene early tomorrow morning, and we need to be there for makeup at 5 a.m. There's no time, come back with me quickly."

Shen Xing was dragged away by her agent.

He is a top celebrity, and there are many things he has no control over.

I went back to my hotel room, took a shower, put on a silk nightgown, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

I glanced at my phone, and it suddenly rang, notifying me of a successful friend request.

Sister Qiong actually added me on WeChat.

She's a veteran entertainment agent, a top-tier figure who has made countless artists famous, and her resources and connections are simply phenomenal...

My heart skipped a beat and started pounding. I felt incredibly nervous, just like when I took the college entrance exam and waited for the results.

Sister Qiong said, "Your name is Jiang Man, right? Although you didn't graduate from a formal acting school and you're already in your thirties in the entertainment industry, which is a bit old, your appearance and temperament are very unique and you're especially suitable for movies. I've seen you act in a few movies, and your acting skills are pretty good."

Are you free in the next couple of days? Let's find a place to grab a coffee and have a good chat!

I replied, "Thank you, Sister Qiong. I've finished recording my show here. I'm heading back to Beijing early tomorrow morning. How about we meet at a coffee shop around 10 AM to chat?"

"Sure, no problem."

Sister Qiong replied to me with a very generous five words.

Qiong and I didn't continue our conversation.

That night, I didn't check Jiang's messages; I no longer wanted to forgive him.

I don't want to contact him until he wins over his mother, lest she think I'm a scheming woman who's after their family's wealth and status!

Although I really want to marry President Jiang, after all, his family is quite wealthy, I will not lose my dignity. If his mother doesn't welcome me, I will absolutely not marry into their family and suffer every day.

……

I thought my cold war with President Jiang would continue like this.

The next morning, after I packed my suitcase at the hotel, I dragged it downstairs. It was a huge pile of luggage, big and small.

Other celebrities have assistants, agents, and a whole bunch of people surrounding a female celebrity, but I only rely on myself.

I dragged my bags downstairs, submitted my room key in the hotel lobby on the first floor, obtained a check-out certificate, and then saw a handsome man standing at the hotel entrance as I was about to leave.

He was tall and imposing, dressed in a suit and overcoat, with his hands in his pockets, standing next to the luxury Porsche, exuding an air of aloof elegance.

When he saw me arrive, he suddenly came over without saying a word, hugged me, kissed my forehead, and helped me carry my luggage into the car.

After struggling to break free from President Jiang's embrace, I got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, still angry, ignoring everyone.

While driving, Mr. Jiang explained to me, "Man, I really had an urgent matter that day, and I'm so sorry that you were all alone facing the elimination round on the show. I've already heard what the director said."

I promise, it won't happen again, okay?

"President Jiang, I've already said we should break up."

I said, "I'm not some clingy woman. I'm middle-aged, perfectly clear-headed, and I can let go easily. There's something I've always wanted to say, but we're all adults, so let's not pretend... The reason you didn't come to the recording of the show with me that day, and didn't reply to my messages, is because you're going on a blind date with a wealthy heiress arranged by your mother, right?"

"Man, I..."

President Jiang tried to explain, but I didn't want to hear his explanation at all.

How do I know? I was just scrolling through my phone and accidentally came across photos of President Jiang on a date with a beautiful woman, taken by paparazzi.

If it weren't for those paparazzi photos, I would still be completely in the dark, thinking that President Jiang loved me very much...

"President Jiang, what you truly love is your career, isn't it?"

I smiled and said.

After regaining his composure, President Jiang said to me, "That day, I did go on a blind date... However, Man, I never thought of betraying you, but rather you and that Shen Xing."

If I simply let go of your hand, will you throw yourself headlong into that boy's arms?

What about our relationship then? Last night in the hallway, he hugged you from behind. Do you know how I felt?

I thought for a moment, then said coldly, "Whether you believe it or not, Shen Xing and I are indeed friends. If we break up, I won't rule out the possibility that I'll get together with him."

But don't worry, I, Jiang Man, am not the kind of woman who is unreasonable, fickle, or two-timing.

During the time I've been dating you, you've always been my only boyfriend. I've never had a romantic relationship with Shen Xing.

"Mr. Jiang, I can give you the explanation you want. However, I can't accept someone who already has a girlfriend but is still going on blind dates with other women arranged by his mother. Park the car up front; I'm taking a taxi to the airport myself!"

"Man, I believe you. You've been restraining yourself and keeping your distance from that boy, but his feelings for you are completely written all over his face. He's just waiting for me to break up with you so he can be with you."

President Jiang said, "No, absolutely not."

"President Jiang, do you think you can just say no and that's it? Do you think I'm still an employee of your company like before, having to do everything the boss says? I'm free now, I have my own career plans, and we're breaking up."

I said angrily.

However, it seemed that Mr. Jiang had locked the car and was focused on driving, not letting me leave.

My plan to take a taxi to the airport out of spite has been thwarted.

I angrily yelled at him, "I need to go to the airport! Mr. Jiang, open the door and let me out! You have no right to restrict my personal freedom. Do you believe I'll call the police?"

"Jiang Man, do you really not love me at all? You're in such a hurry to break up with me, is it just because of that Shen Xing? Can't you see how much I like you, how much I love you?"

I can't lose you. You already hold too much weight in my heart, so much so that I wouldn't be able to live without you.

President Jiang's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Tears streamed down his face; he was so overwhelmed with emotion that he cried only in front of me.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say to comfort him or to provoke him, because Mr. Jiang was driving!

How can someone so old still cry!

As I recalled my time with President Jiang, I felt a deep sense of reluctance, but I understood that President Jiang had committed a fundamental error, and I would not compromise or tolerate him any longer.

Our relationship is over.

But to my surprise, Mr. Jiang's phone rang at that moment.

He parked his car in a parking lot near the roadside, then answered the phone and said, "Hey Mom, what's up?"

His mother was very angry and said, "Jiang Hui, you think you're all grown up now? Yesterday, I made you go on a blind date."

You pretended to agree to go on a blind date with me, but what did you do to the girl? Wasn't that polite of you?

I listened silently without saying a word, wondering what terrible thing President Jiang had done to the female guests on the blind date that the other women had complained to President Jiang's mother.

Jiang's mother was furious and roared on the phone, "Jiang Hui, you've ruined all the face I've built up in my life in just one day!"

"I'm sending you on a blind date so you can have a proper talk with Miss Tan Zhixia."

"Ms. Tan actually had a good impression of you, but she didn't expect you to come on the blind date and tell her you had a wife who was pregnant, and even asked her for money, saying you didn't have enough money with you for this meal and that she should pay for it..."

"Jiang Hui, did you do this on purpose? You're a man, how can you let a girl pay the bill? How could you go so far?"

"Mom, I'm doing this to tell you that I won't arrange any blind dates for you. The only woman I've ever loved in my life is Man. If you don't agree to us being together, I'd rather grow old alone than go on any more blind dates."

President Jiang knew very well what he was doing.

He agreed to the blind date out of desperation, because his mother was so upset at the hospital that she couldn't eat. Unless President Jiang agreed to her request and pursued Miss Tan properly...

Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang told the woman directly that he had a wife and children, and even borrowed 5000 yuan from her to pay the bill.

The group of wealthy wives generally agreed that President Jiang was young, promising, and handsome, but they never expected that this man would let women pay the bill, and that he already had a wife and children outside!

After her blind date, Tan Zhixia returned home seething with anger and declared that she would never marry President Jiang.
