The Secret of Second Marriage

There's no other reason; I just feel that marrying someone my age like President Jiang might give me more to talk about.

The next morning, after I got up, I received a text message on my phone with only one sentence: "Sis, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let her bother you!"

It was sent at 3 a.m.

I immediately guessed that it was sent by Shen Xing. He probably found out by accident that the reason his stepmother chose to sign me was just so that I would never see him again.

Shen Xing's background is quite complicated.

I suddenly realized that he wasn't as simple as I had imagined; he was just a very handsome and refined young man.

I guess his family must be quite well-off, otherwise his aunt wouldn't have invested in letting his cousin open a music restaurant in Beijing.

His father also has a wealthy background, but I don't know which big director in the entertainment industry he is!

I picked up my phone and searched for information about Sister Qiong's husband on Baidu. I discovered that Sister Qiong was also remarried. The reason she is doing so well in her career is entirely because her second husband is very supportive and has helped her a lot.

Although I don't know who Shen Xing's father is, I can search online to find out who Sister Qiong's current husband is. A few minutes later, I was stunned by the results I found on Baidu.

It turns out that Shen Xing's father is not only a director in the entertainment industry, but also the chairman of the film and television association and the director of a large television station. He is extremely powerful and his background is unfathomable.

No wonder he's doing so well in the entertainment industry!

According to her profile on Baidu, after marrying her second husband, Sister Qiong did not have children due to health reasons.

Shen Xing is that director's only son, no wonder he's so concerned about his marriage.

I'm not the kind of woman who doesn't know her place. Since they don't like me, I won't go looking for trouble with Shen Xing anymore.

Shen Xing only sent me the message at 3 a.m. yesterday. It seems he filmed another night shoot and hasn't slept much.

I got up, ate a quick breakfast, opened the window, and saw it was another bright winter morning.

The sky and streets looked incredibly cold. Suddenly, I received a message about the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals. To be honest, my first reaction upon receiving this message on my phone was that I thought it was a scam…

But after contacting the production team, they discovered that they hadn't lied.

Because the TV series I starred in was a national hit, even though I only played the role of a villainous second female lead, I became incredibly popular.

I wonder if audiences have changed their tastes now, and they no longer like the vulnerable, pitiful beauties from Qiong Yao novels, like Ziwei.

I prefer female villains like me, who are vengeful, fight back against injustice, and are capable, shrewd, and just as good as men.

The production team said that with my image, I am particularly suitable for rehearsing a skit, and they hope that I can audition for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and participate in the rehearsal.

I was overjoyed and showed President Jiang the Spring Festival Gala announcement. President Jiang immediately picked me up, spun me around a few times, and said excitedly, "Man, see? I knew you would be extraordinary!"

I blushed.

At 10 a.m., I wore a low-key brown coat and a white hat, and took a car to the office building where CCTV's Spring Festival Gala was being recorded. It was the first time I had ever seen a building that looked like a pair of underpants.

I showed the interview invitation to the security guard at the door, and he quickly let me in.

I, a woman, went to the director's team for an interview, carrying only my makeup bag and clothes.

The director asked me to play the role of a villainous second female lead, and I performed quite well. After watching the performance, the director said he needed to discuss it and would let me know later.

I'm a newcomer, and it felt incredible to be recording a program on CCTV for the first time. Now the director says that even if we discuss it, we might not be able to get the job, so I don't have much hope for it.

I didn't leave the Spring Festival Gala interview building until after 5 p.m.

Mr. Jiang came to pick me up. This time I became a huge star. As soon as I left the recording studio, many fans cheered me on. But a black figure flashed by and took a picture of me and Mr. Jiang getting into the car together.

I didn't expect that scandals and negative rumors would follow me so quickly.
