The Secret of Second Marriage

A month later.

On Wednesday morning, the court hearing was held. I was wearing a black sweater and sunglasses, and arrived at the court in a luxury car surrounded by bodyguards.

A large number of reporters were gathered outside the courthouse.

As soon as I got out of the car, many reporters came up to ask about my scandal: "Ms. Jiang, we heard that your sugar daddy, Mr. Jiang, has been arrested, and you haven't been filming lately. Do you have anything to say to your fans?"

"Mr. Jiang's imprisonment this time is for allegedly misappropriating company funds and cutting corners, causing a major accident. I would like to ask, does this mean you are not clean in the entertainment industry either?"

"After all, you've entered the entertainment industry and been able to film so many movies and take on so many roles. Isn't it because Mr. Jiang, your sugar daddy, is backing you up?"

A series of heated verbal exchanges ensued.

I finally understand that being a celebrity isn't easy. None of those reporters are kind of people; they'll ask any kind of tricky question just to get clicks and attention.

I said, "My husband is innocent, and I believe him."

From beginning to end, I only had this one sentence.

The bodyguards stopped the reporters and cleared a path for them.

I strode into the courthouse with two trusted bodyguards by my side.

To my surprise, Jiang Yu'an was also sitting in the audience. When he saw me, he greeted me politely but insincerely, saying, "Miss Jiang, you've come to see Ahui too."

"I genuinely want to save him. What about you, Uncle?"

I retorted with a cold laugh.

Jiang Yu'an clearly knew there was something fishy going on, but he put on an act in front of me and said, "Of course I also hope Ah Hui is doing well; after all, he's my nephew."

Who doesn't want him to be happy? Don't you think so, Jiang Man?

I ignored him.

I am here to attend this court hearing in the hope that the court will conduct a fair, just, and open trial of President Jiang's case.

Attorney Guo handled all of this for me. I communicate with her every day to discuss and analyze the case. Whether my efforts over the past month have been in vain depends on today.

Holding the contract signed by President Jiang, Attorney Guo formally entered the courtroom.

The judge announced the start of the court session.

This case was quite complicated. It lasted from morning till night, until after 3 p.m., before the evidence and facts of the case were finally explained.

Attorney Guo is really amazing.

She retrieved all the transfer records of the Jiang Group over the past year and the contracts signed by both parties, and compared them one by one, finally discovering the key to the problem.

The evidence she submitted to the court.

First, they questioned the legitimacy of the official seal, and then, based on the paper printer and various other pieces of evidence, they refuted the authenticity of those contracts.

Attorney Guo is really impressive; he was incredibly eloquent during the court hearing.

The court immediately declared the charges invalid.

When President Jiang heard the news, he turned around and looked at me in disbelief.

I was in the gallery, looking at the man I loved, and I cried tears of joy. Thankfully, the first of the two cases was dismissed.

It was 4:30 p.m. when I left the courthouse.

Although President Jiang was found not guilty, he still encountered another case.

So he was taken away by the prison guards.

We only made eye contact throughout the entire conversation and didn't say a word.

After the court hearing, before I could even say a word to Mr. Jiang, he was taken away by the bailiffs.

As I left the courthouse, the afternoon sun in winter was quite warm, shining on the bare branches of the trees, adding a touch of liveliness and vibrancy.

I bought a few bottles of water and a few cups of instant noodles from the convenience store next door because my stomach was growling.

Attorney Guo and I were both extremely hungry.

Attorney Guo and I simply sat on the steps outside the courthouse, eating instant noodles and drinking water.

The adult world is never that easy!

I told Attorney Guo, "Thank you so much for this case. Have something to eat first, and I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Man, don't be shy. Instant noodles are fine."

Attorney Guo said, "After the New Year, President Jiang's next case will go to trial. And our law firm has a lot of cases at the end of the year."

I have a few more university lectures to give, so I'll have to skip the dinner tonight.

"Don't worry, as long as President Jiang is innocent, we will definitely find evidence and do our best to prove his innocence."

"Okay, sure."

I say.

I was quite touched. It's really important to have a reliable lawyer when something happens.

Attorney Guo, her assistant, her older brother Yu Xiang, Uncle Geng, and our group ate instant noodles and drank water in front of the courthouse.

This is our simple celebration of our victory in this lawsuit.

Jiang Yu'an's plan backfired.

He had been told by his lawyer that he was very confident that this trial would send President Jiang to jail.

But I never expected that I would hire such a capable lawyer. He was meticulous, organized, and extremely familiar with court procedures.

President Jiang was acquitted.

This is a threat to him.

Jiang Yu'an gave me a cold smile, then angrily got into his luxury car and left the courthouse.

I heard from my colleagues that Jiang Yu'an has appeared single and posed no threat to the company for many years, but in reality, he has secretly married and is keeping a very beautiful female college student as his mistress, with whom he has a son and a daughter.

I watched Jiang Yu'an's angry departure.

I secretly sent the photos that the private investigator had found out about Jiang Yu'an's secret marriage, his keeping a mistress, and the two children he had, as well as photos of the three of them going to an amusement park on the weekend, to Jiang's mother.

Sure enough, the message was sent in less than 3 seconds.

Jiang's mother called, and I tried to turn it off three times, but she kept calling.

I actually didn't want to answer her call...

Because, from the moment she caused President Jiang to go to jail, I stopped considering her as my future mother-in-law.

Jiang's mother finally realized that she had been deceived. The other party did not love her at all. He pretended to be polite and refined in front of her, but in reality, he just wanted the shares in her hands.

He already has a mistress and daughter, why would he marry her?

Jiang's mother is heartbroken.

She posted several updates on social media, expressing her deep distress, saying that she never expected the man she had loved for so many years to have lied to her so completely.

She has wronged her son.

However, this woman is simply beyond redemption.

She called me repeatedly, and I finally answered her call, though I was so annoyed by her calls.

"What's up?"

My attitude was indifferent.

Jiang's mother called me crying and scolded me: "Jiang Man, it's all your fault. If you hadn't been so persistent in pursuing my Jiang Hui, how could he have ended up like this?"

Whether he marries Zeng Wanwan or Zhou Shanshan, they are both well-known, wealthy, and beautiful women with connections, which is better than marrying you.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been so angry that I sold the shares to an outsider because I thought my son was unreliable."

"Don't call me again. From the moment you decided to sell your shares, you've already put yourself on the opposite side from me and President Jiang!"

I will never forgive a selfish woman who only cares about her own interests and doesn't even care about her son's life or death!

You are not worthy to be President Jiang's mother.

I said softly.

"Jiang Man, how dare you say that to me... You just wait, once I rescue my son, I will definitely make him divorce you, you shrew."

Jiang's mother said.

People like her are often self-centered, always thinking they are right and everyone else is wrong.

I really don't want to talk to her.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang's mother was furious and decided to settle the score with Jiang Yu'an.

Monday morning, at the group headquarters.

Jiang's mother, who had been swindled out of her shares and a significant amount of investment funds, was dressed elegantly and professionally in a beige short skirt suit, adorned with diamond earrings and sporting a blonde wavy perm.

She walked up the elevator to the company building, looking aggressive and strutting in her high heels.

These past few days, Jiang Yu'an has been avoiding her and not answering her calls.

She was furious, realized she had been scammed, and went straight to their door.

Several beautiful women in the front desk secretariat were Jiang Yu'an's people, and they kept blocking Jiang's mother from going in.

I greeted her, saying I needed to talk to her, and asked her to come in.

She led me all the way from here to the leadership office floor of the group building.

I then pointed out Jiang Yu'an's office to her.

Jiang's mother, wearing high heels, stormed into Jiang Yu'an's office, kicked open the door, took off her high heels, and rushed over to smash his head with them.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? There are so many people watching over the company, who told you to come here to see me!"

Jiang Yu'an panicked.

He never expected to be beaten up by a woman.

Never let down a woman who believes in love.

Because they are all crazy.

Jiang's mother's eyes were filled with burning anger. She grabbed his shirt collar and dragged him into the company corridor, saying with a sneer, "Jiang Yu'an, don't think that I'll let things go just because you're hiding from me."

We've been together for almost 30 years. Let's make things clear in front of so many people and settle this score once and for all.

I held a cup of coffee, wore glasses, had my long hair all tied up in a bun and clipped behind my head, and was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and skirt, and high heels, looking every bit the professional businesswoman.

I was watching the commotion outside the chairman's office when I quickly caught the crucial piece of news from over 30 years ago.

I opened my mouth. Had they been having an affair for over 30 years?

Jiang Yu'an glared at the woman and explained in a low voice, "What are you doing here? I'll explain it to you slowly when we get back. It's not that I didn't answer your calls today, I was just in a meeting..."

"Don't lie to me. Do you think I'll still believe you? I won't believe you anymore."

Jiang's mother, her eyes red and swollen, cried her heart out: "Jiang Yu'an, you heartless man, I will no longer keep your secret."

Today, in front of everyone, I will tell them exactly what kind of man you are.

You heartless beast who abandoned me after starting something! I loved you so much that I was willing to bear the stigma of being promiscuous for you, and I divorced my son's father when he was just over one year old.

We've been having an affair for over 30 years. You started seducing me the moment I married into the Jiang family. My ex-husband was very career-oriented and always flying around.

I was quite lonely at home. It was you who sent me different flowers every day for three whole months. It was also you who wrote me love letters, told jokes, and made me happy every day.

You said you would love me forever, you said you would marry me.

You said all of this? We were having an affair back then, and your brother almost found out.

You found someone to be your substitute, and I took all the blame by myself.

Jiang Yu'an, I've endured this long, but I can't take it anymore. I'm going to tell everyone that you were the one who cheated on me with me—"

The moment he said that, everyone in the room was stunned.

All the employees in the company were stunned after hearing this.

Silence reigned.

These employees neither laughed at the situation nor offered any opinions; instead, they quietly left and returned to their workstations.

I need to know this secret too.

I had my assistant secretly film a video of me, and then I sold it to the paparazzi for a high price back in the office.

I want everyone to see the true colors of Jiang Yu'an.

Jiang Yu'an never expected that the woman who had loved him for over 30 years and been controlled by him for over 30 years would one day lose control and expose all his shameful sides in front of him.

Enraged, he slapped Jiang's mother across the face, knocking the woman who had loved him for over 30 years to the ground. Frowning, he said coldly, "You're a madman! Nobody believes you. If you dare spout nonsense again, I'll send you to a mental hospital..."
