The Secret of Second Marriage

My face flushed red instantly, and I felt as if every drop of blood in my veins was boiling with anger.

I, Jiang Changman, have never been publicly humiliated before, let alone called a chicken.

I didn't choose to waste any more words with President Jiang's mother. I simply walked to the side and made a phone call, asking President Jiang, "Do you have time? Could you come over?"

"What's wrong? I'm in a meeting."

President Jiang asked me.

I said, "President Jiang, your mother just brought a beautiful woman to the place where I was rehearsing my show, blocked me, and scolded me mercilessly in front of everyone."

It all started because of you.

I hope you can come and resolve this issue!

After a moment of silence, President Jiang told me he would be right there.

President Jiang's mother has a very strong personality. She grabbed that beautiful woman's hand, walked up to me, and tried to slap me, but I quickly stopped her.

I grabbed President Jiang's mother's hand, blocking it in mid-air, and squeezed her wrist until it turned red with all my might...

My five knuckles turned white from clenching them.

We were at an impasse when it turned out that the beautiful woman accompanying President Jiang's mother was an acquaintance—Zhou Shanshan, the spoiled rich heiress we had met during our trip to Tibet.

Zhou Shanshan looked at me smugly and said, "Jiang Man, every circle has its own rules. If you break the rules, you should be punished!"

Mr. Jiang would never marry you, because his mother despises gold diggers like you—without any background, just wanting to marry into a wealthy family.

I suddenly remembered that Zhou Shanshan was also divorced.

To prevent her son from marrying me, Jiang's mother actually introduced her to a divorced daughter of a high-ranking official.

Once again, I felt how realistic and helpless this society is.

I didn't confront Zhou Shanshan and Jiang's mother directly. Instead, I moved a stool and sat alone in a corner next to the rehearsal room, so as not to disturb the other teams' rehearsals. I put on my headphones, listened to music, and quietly waited for President Jiang to arrive...

Jiang's mother seemed unsatisfied. Dressed in particularly exquisite and luxurious clothes, she walked up to me in high heels and began to criticize me from head to toe. Finally, she called me out by name and said, "Jiang Man, you're just pretty, aren't you? A woman from the countryside, you actually want to climb up to my son."

Do you know how much higher my son's status is than yours? She's just a female celebrity. Let me tell you, the people in our family look down on female celebrities the most.

With me around, you'll never set foot in the Jiang family!

I didn't want to talk to her at first, but I didn't expect her to take advantage of me...

I took off my headphones, looked up at Jiang's mother, and said to her, "Have you said enough? Do you think your Jiang family is so noble and great?"

I don't care!

You've never given birth to me, nor have you raised me, so what right do you have to criticize me? Have some decency.

This is a matter between me and President Jiang; you can ask him yourself later.

"you……"

Jiang's mother was particularly angry. She had heard Xia Weiwei and Zhou Shanshan, these wealthy heiresses, say a lot of bad things about me in front of her, so her first impression of me was very bad.

That prejudice was deeply ingrained in her heart. Now that her son and I are preparing to take wedding photos and have the wedding on the agenda, her mother went to my workplace to humiliate me.

Inside the CCTV training hall, many people gathered around to take pictures.

I kept a dark expression on my face and waited for more than ten minutes before President Jiang finally arrived.

As soon as he arrived, he hugged me, held me close, kissed my forehead tenderly, and whispered in my ear, "Man, I didn't know my mom would come so suddenly today. I'm sorry for causing trouble for your work."

Don't worry about the rehearsals, I'm still looking forward to seeing my dear wife on the Spring Festival Gala. I'm taking my mom with me, she's an old-fashioned, stubborn woman who values ​​material things and insists on marriage between equals... I'm so sorry, I really let you down today!"

"Mr. Jiang, let's skip the formalities. I just want to ask you one question: if your mother is firmly against our marriage, would you still register our marriage and have a wedding?"

I asked a very crucial question.

Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment. In that instant of hesitation, I suddenly lost hope in this man. The other party was his mother. What could he do? He couldn't possibly sever ties with his mother.

I understand him, but I can't accept a man like that as my boyfriend.

If you can't hold onto the sand, just let it go!

I packed up my personal belongings at the rehearsal set without glancing at President Jiang. After I finished packing, I stood in front of President Jiang and said very seriously, "President Jiang, sometimes hesitation is also an answer."

Your mother always wants you to marry a rich heiress. Even if I did marry her, I'd face countless mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts. I'm sorry, but it's better for us to part ways here. It'll leave a good impression on both of us!

I won't force you.

When I was young, I was passionate and devoted to a relationship like a moth drawn to a flame, always putting love above all else and willing to sacrifice everything for it. But now, whether it's marriage or love, I consider my own feelings more.

When Mr. Jiang heard me mention breaking up, he finally got a little angry. He looked up at me with a gloomy face and said, "Man, how many times have you mentioned breaking up with me recently? Do you really want to break up with me?"

I've already told you about my mom's situation. Could you give me some time? Please give me some time, okay? Really? I'll try to talk to my mom.

"Then go talk to your mother now. I don't want to wait for a vague future; I just want to wait for the promise I have now."

I say.

My expression wasn't very happy either. Anyone would be unhappy if their boyfriend scolded them on the spot.

President Jiang slowly walked towards her, his voice breaking with despair as he cried out, "Mom, can you please stop interfering in my affairs?"

My love for Man began without any financial constraints.

During that trip to Tibet, we were stranded on the highway, cold and hungry, not knowing when we would be rescued. Perhaps we would all die during the long wait.

During the hardest times, she and I shared a bowl of soup and an egg. If it weren't for her, I don't know if I would have survived that disaster.

She accepted me when I had nothing, and shared all her resources with me, even the leftover soup from instant noodles.

I will never find a better woman than her in my life, Mom. I will not allow you to bully her again, and I will not allow myself to let her down in this life.

Even if she weren't a star today, even if she had nothing, I would still love her.

Bai Jie understood what was happening when she saw us like this, and she protected me, saying, "Aunt Jiang, you see, it's your own son who insists on liking our Man."

You can't control your own son, so you come here to make things difficult for my daughter. Don't you think your behavior is too outrageous, too despicable and shameless?

To tell you the truth, Man is my long-lost biological daughter. She has a very noble status and is the real young lady of the group. She may not be much worse than your son.

If you dare say another bad word about my daughter, don't blame me for tearing your mouth apart!

My mother was so angry she cried, fiercely protecting her chicks like a mother hen.

Jiang's mother was furious that her son had chosen me again in front of her. She slapped Mr. Jiang hard and threatened him: "I will support whoever you marry, but you absolutely cannot marry her."

Before even stepping inside, she was already so sharp-tongued and had her own ideas. Once inside, she showed absolutely no manners, not even respecting me, her elder…!

"Mom, I'll agree to anything, but there's one thing I absolutely cannot agree to! I'm determined to be with Man, and no one can stop me, Mom. I want to choose my own marriage!"

President Jiang said…

It's clear that President Jiang is determined to marry me.

But unexpectedly, a classic scene unfolded next. In a fit of anger, Jiang's mother rushed over, grabbed me, and stormed out of the CCTV studio.

She held my finger tightly until we crossed the overpass and arrived at the park next to the CCTV building. The park had a shallow, green lake surrounded by peach, willow, and apricot trees... but in the dead of winter, these trees had all lost their leaves.

I didn't expect President Jiang's mother to be so strong. She dragged me outside. I also wanted to know how far President Jiang's mother would go to oppose my relationship with President Jiang.

But I soon experienced firsthand the strong and picky nature of President Jiang's mother.

She pulled me to the river under the willow trees next to the park. The water was sparkling and icy cold. At that moment, reporters, President Jiang, my parents, and many onlookers all gathered around.

Jiang's mother let go of my hand, and we stood on opposite sides, swaying precariously, as if we could fall into the river at any moment...

In front of President Jiang, Jiang's mother asked a particularly bizarre question: "Jiang Hui, you are my own son, how could I possibly harm you? Everything I've done is for your own good!"

You've just taken over the group your father left behind, and the foundation is unstable. Those old guys are banding together and want to oust you. The best thing you should do now is to marry a woman who can help your career!

Instead of marrying a female celebrity with a divorced child.

"If you insist on being with her, then pretend you don't have a mother. From now on, I won't be in your way. I'll die, and you can marry her in style. I want to see if you're heartless enough to let your mother die for a woman."

I felt that she was threatening President Jiang. There were crowds of onlookers all around, and some shameless people were saying, "Jump! Why don't you jump?"

I asked President Jiang, "You choose for yourself: if your mother and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

President Jiang hesitated, torn between his own mother and me. Choosing either one seemed to offend the other woman.

Seeing her son standing there, Jiang's mother broke down in tears, saying, "I've raised my son for nothing! He's all grown up and all he cares about is that divorced woman. I'm your own mother! How many times have I told you? Don't marry her! Don't marry her!"

Why won't you listen? Are you only satisfied when you've driven your mother to her death?

She might have lost control of her emotions. Perhaps she has been divorced from her husband for many years and has devoted herself entirely to her son. Outside, she is a glamorous and successful woman, but at home, she has always been the one who has the final say.

Her son had never disobeyed her.

But after her son got married, she gradually sensed that he was infatuated with this woman and might never listen to her again...

This is something she absolutely will not allow.

"Mom, stop making a scene! I'm your son. As a mother, if you truly love me, you should want me to have a happy marriage and marry someone I truly love, not a cold, calculating marriage based on self-interest."

President Jiang, who had been silent, suddenly roared out.
