The Secret of Second Marriage

For a moment, I felt that my sister-in-law was living a pretty enlightened life.

It's because I have too much of a moral compass that I always live such a wronged and conflicted life.

I said, "If you can help me obtain some useful evidence, I can pay you after the property division is complete!"

"Sister-in-law, how much is the payment?"

When my sister-in-law heard about the payment, she came closer to me and spoke in a coquettish tone.

As I drove, I thought about it carefully and said, "At least six figures."

The sister-in-law understood.

She said, "It's a deal. Sister-in-law, I've disliked that mistress for a long time. Let me tell you a secret: a few days ago when you were away on a business trip, the old lady invited the other woman over for dinner."

She was really arrogant, not at all hiding the fact that her daughter-in-law was away on a business trip. She kept putting food on the mistress's plate, saying that she was beautiful, good at running a shop and making money, and that she was also very clever.

After a while, I think I should transfer her to be her eldest son's secretary.

The old man said they don't need secretaries anymore, they just call them assistants. The old woman also said that when the mistress comes into the family, she'll give her a big red envelope. She said she likes the mistress terribly, and once the mistress gives birth to a big, healthy son for the Xue family, she'll take care of her during her postpartum period...

The mistress smiled sweetly.

I asked, "What was my husband's reaction?"

The sister-in-law sneered, "I never would have guessed. My brother used to be such a successful, refined, loving, and family-oriented gentleman in front of me."

He would secretly serve food to his mistress and exchange flirtatious glances with her. I was furious when I saw this.

"Sister-in-law, it's good that you saw through my brother sooner rather than later. It's a good thing you saw his true colors. I was just thinking, thank goodness I had two sons. If I had a daughter like you, I bet the old woman would have used this trick on me."

I was so angry I was shaking, but I forced myself to calm down. I asked myself honestly, what's the point of being angry?

I've decided to divorce my husband, this disgusting man, and cut all ties with him.

After making this decision, I suddenly felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders, and I felt much more relaxed.

I drove my sister-in-law to a very famous shopping plaza in the city center, where you can watch movies, get beauty treatments, have a big meal, and go shopping.

I lent my beauty salon card to my sister-in-law, saying, "Go get a beauty treatment, it's on me."

"Sister-in-law, you're so kind!"

My sister-in-law said.

I parked my car next to the pedestrian street in the commercial plaza.

My sister-in-law took my beauty salon card, picked up her bag, got out of the car, and prepared to get a beauty treatment and go shopping.

Before she went shopping, she glanced at me and said, "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself and don't think about those messy things."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

I appear strong on the surface, pretending that nothing is wrong, but actually my heart is aching like it's being cut by a knife.

But I have a very strong personality, and I don't want anyone to pity me.

My sister-in-law, dressed up beautifully, went out to walk down the street.

I drove to Walmart and bought a lot of imported fruits, cheese, durian, toys for my two children, and some imported vegetables and meats, spending five or six thousand yuan.

I pushed a shopping cart full of bags, paid the checkout, and put the items in the trunk of my car. I was busy until after 10 a.m. before I drove to pick up my daughter.

I moved the things from the trunk to Sister Juan's house.

Sister Juan's nanny came out to help me move.

Sister Juan was sleeping in. After she woke up, she came out to greet me in a cozy set of pajamas.

When she saw that I had bought so many things, she said, "Xiaoman, we're sisters. If you treat me like your older sister, I'll treat you like my younger sister. Why do we sisters need to buy so many things?"

I said, "Juan, don't say anything more. You've helped me a lot. This is just a token of my appreciation."

Juan didn't stand on ceremony with me and quickly asked the nanny to bring over some fruit.

My daughter and Sister Juan's daughter are practicing piano in the study.

Sister Juan said, "Where did you find such a good piano teacher? She's doing a fantastic job tutoring your daughter. Could you recommend my child to learn with her too?"

I said, "Sure, Juan, I can give you the tutor's contact information."

Juan then asked me, "How was your business trip these past few days? Did you try to find some excitement during those boring and lonely times?"

Her words made me blush.

I shook my head: "No."

Juan said I was foolish, that it wasn't worth it for me to remain chaste with a man like that, and that it was much better for me to be as carefree as she was.

I smiled but didn't say anything.

I am a very conservative woman at heart.

I value marriage and relationships. I can't bring myself to have someone else outside of a marriage before getting a divorce. That's probably my moral bottom line.

At noon, I cooked a table full of dishes, including Guoguo's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.

Guoguo tasted a piece of pork rib and said, "Godmother's cooking is really good."

That's true. I was a housewife for six years. I didn't learn anything else, but my cooking skills were exceptional.

I stayed at Sister Juan's house until the afternoon. My husband called and said, "Honey, I'm back from my business trip. I missed you so much. Let's have dinner together tonight."

I asked him, "What's wrong?"

My husband just said, "The company is having its annual party soon, and all of us high-level staff are bringing our wives. Honey, would you like to come with me to the hotel for the party next Monday night?"
