The Secret of Second Marriage

I feel he was too angry and had lost his mind.

I bit his arm hard, and he screamed in agony.

I've always been a shrew, and in my 30+ years of life, I've never been afraid of anyone!

In the last few steps I broke free from his embrace, I grabbed an office chair and smashed it at him—

With a bang.

The stool hit and injured his arm.

Jiang Yu'an let out a scream.

I kicked him hard in the crotch, making him break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

It feels so good to expose this kind of scum.

"Pah! What do you take me for, Jiang Man? One of your many cannon fodder harem members? I'm not as shameless or disgusting as you!"

Although I was still a little shaken, I calmed down, walked to the CEO's desk, and took out my phone to call the police.

I used to only know that rich people in wealthy families had extravagant lifestyles, but I never imagined that President Jiang's uncle was so extravagant. He thought he had a lot of money and had countless women and lovers around him.

I find a man like him, who goes to nightclubs every day to socialize, keeps a mistress to college students, and even seduces his sister-in-law, disgusting.

I feel disgusted just looking at it!

Jiang Yu'an seemed surprised that I, a woman, was so clueless.

He only ever believed in self-interest, not feelings, so he looked at me contemptuously and said, "Jiang Man, I'm giving you a chance today, but you won't get this chance again."

You'd better not regret what you did today. I guarantee you won't have a good ending!

"roll"

I say.

When Jiang Yu'an saw that I had called the police, he probably feared that things would escalate, so he unlocked the door and strode out of my CEO office.

I didn't want to work overtime here anymore, so I quickly called Uncle Geng to drive me home from Jiang's Group.

Time flies and the New Year has arrived.

This Spring Festival Gala was destined to be a lonely and desolate experience for me.

Although I was a very popular female celebrity, my affair with President Jiang spread throughout the entertainment industry.

President Jiang has now committed a very serious crime and has been imprisoned. I have finally experienced the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world.

I was removed from the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal list and then taken off. All my filming work was suspended. Sister Qiong sent me a message saying that my affair with President Jiang had affected my work in the entertainment industry.

Nowadays, directors really dislike actresses who pose a risk.

Sister Qiong comforted me on WeChat for a while and even called me personally.

She scolded in a low voice: "Man, I know you are a woman of great principle, but President Jiang has too many cases on his hands, such as the broken highway bridge, construction hazards, and shoddy construction."

President Jiang has been embroiled in negative news and public opinion.

You and he are closely bound together; you previously filmed a dating show and are now in a relationship.

Now that he's in trouble, you're also implicated and listed as a high-risk artist... Unless you do as I say, immediately, issue a public statement severing all ties with President Jiang.

You said you and President Jiang broke up peacefully a long time ago, and that none of this has anything to do with you. Please don't let your fans affect your normal life.

Otherwise, you will be listed as a high-risk artist, and you will not only lose your Spring Festival Gala performance qualification, but also lose a lot of resources. Think it over carefully.

"Sister Qiong, from my perspective, I know you're telling me all this for my own good."

After careful consideration, I said, "But I have made up my mind to stay with President Jiang through this most difficult period."

I plan to put my entertainment career on hold for now. What I need to do right now is to focus all my efforts on the lawsuit and prove Mr. Jiang's innocence.

I can't abandon him during his most difficult time!

"Understood"

Agent Qiong sighed and said, "Man, I already know about your decision. Now that you've made it, don't regret it."

You are different from many female celebrities I've met in the entertainment industry. Every female celebrity is doing her best to climb to the top, slaying anyone who gets in her way.

If I were in your situation, I would have already issued a statement to distance myself from you.

But you still chose to face this crisis with President Jiang. If President Jiang loses the case, your acting career will be ruined!

"Sister Qiong, I want to accompany him this time."

I said it very sincerely.

"I hope you won't regret it later."

Sister Qiong hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

This Spring Festival, I spent New Year's Eve at the Xia family's house. Tangtang's parents cooked a huge table full of dishes.

Instead of going to work, I helped my mother fry lotus root balls in the kitchen to prepare for the sumptuous family reunion dinner that evening.

Around 10 a.m., Xia Weiwei and Yang Nan came back hand in hand, but as soon as they entered the living room, they saw Tangtang and me in the kitchen, acting as moms and preparing vegetables.

She instantly felt jealous, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Xia Weiwei glared at me fiercely and cried, "Mom, why is she still in this house? It's New Year's Eve, and I don't want to see that bitch and her daughter in our house."

"Mom, didn't you always love me the most? Waaaaah... It's always been just the three of us spending New Year's Eve together. Let him go back to her hometown and spend New Year's Eve with her adoptive parents!"

"Weiwei, you're back? You're all sisters, don't tell your sister to leave. This is your home, and it's also my home."

"That's what Mom Bai Jie said."

After Xia Weiwei took off her down jacket, her stomach felt slightly protruding.

I noticed she was pale and had lost a lot of weight. I guessed that she had suffered a lot during this time, having run away from home and not being able to enjoy the life of the eldest daughter of the Xia family.

"I don't have this older sister!"

Xia Weiwei smelled the aroma of fried fish coming from the kitchen. For some reason, she suddenly felt nauseous and ran to the bathroom to vomit.

Her mother went over and draped a coat over her shoulders, frowning as she said, "Weiwei, where have you been for the past month or so? Where have you been living? You haven't moved to Yang Nan's house and are living with him, have you?"

Are you pregnant? Are you experiencing morning sickness?

"How could that be? We always use condoms."

Xia Weiwei said with a distressed expression.

What's the harm in using a condom?

I thought to myself, Yang Nan, that kind of man from a poor background, on the surface he's all sweet talk and affection, like a lapdog, but in private he's probably already ripped off the trap to achieve his goal.

Seeing her daughter like this, Bai Jie was really worried and said, "Why don't I take you to the hospital for a checkup? To see if you're pregnant?"

"Mom, even if I'm pregnant, the child in my belly is the only heir of the Xia family. Anyway, I just don't like that bitch. It's the New Year, and I don't want to bring bad luck upon myself!"

"Let that bitch and her daughter leave, and I'll come back with Brother Nan to spend the Spring Festival with you, how about that?"

Xia Weiwei said in a fit of pique.

She didn't look at me once from the moment she walked in; she treated me like an enemy.

Bai Jie never expected that her daughter would still be so self-centered, showing no regard for her sister's feelings.

She said with a hint of disappointment, "Weiwei, you can't just think about your own interests and ignore your sister's feelings. What you just said hurt her feelings. Mom hopes you will apologize to her sincerely..."

"There's no way I'd apologize to her."

Xia Weiwei angrily packed her luggage and went upstairs.

Bai Jie sighed softly and said, "Man, Mom apologizes to you. Weiwei shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone."

You and your sister will always be Mom's precious daughters; they're both equally dear to her.

You must stay home this Spring Festival... Mom will cook lots and lots of delicious food for you and take you to visit all the major tourist attractions in Beijing... Oh, by the way... Get up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year and go with Mom to the Temple of Heaven to pray and burn incense.

"Your mother doesn't ask for great wealth or status, she only prays that you two sisters will be safe and sound, and that you will both find happiness!"

"Mom, I'll talk to Xia Weiwei privately..."

I sighed and said.

"Man, you are truly your mother's sweetheart."

My mom came over and gave me a big hug.

Yang Nan didn't know whether to stay in the living room or go upstairs to the bedroom to find Xia Weiwei.

He came over and said solicitously, "Auntie, it's New Year's Eve today. Is there anything I can help you with? How about I sweep the yard?"

"No"

Bai Jie's attitude was indifferent: "Weiwei is already back, so I won't trouble you. Today is New Year's Eve, where are your parents?"

"I'm here alone with Weiwei; my parents are still back in our hometown and haven't come yet."

Yang Nan said.

He wanted to accompany Xia Weiwei on trips and vacations to help her relax.

He has already resigned from his job at the big factory.

Over the years, he used the salary he earned at the big factory to build a villa worth more than 50 yuan in his rural hometown. The gate was particularly fancy, and the interior was decorated in a very rustic style.

His parents are still waiting for good news from him in the countryside.

He and his parents had secretly planned it all out. His mission in dating Xia Weiwei was to get her pregnant so that the two families could discuss the wedding.

Marrying Xia Weiwei was like hooking up with a golden thigh for their family.

After he became wealthy, he brought his elderly parents to Beijing to live out their retirement.

Therefore, when he saw his future mother-in-law, Bai Jie, he was all smiles and politeness.

"How can that be? You can't be so willful. You still need to go back to spend the Spring Festival with your parents. Weiwei is back now, everything's fine. Xiao Yang, Auntie thanks you for taking care of Weiwei during this time."

If there's nothing else going on, you should go back to your hometown and reunite with your parents.

Bai Jie went upstairs, grabbed a red envelope, and gave it to Yang Nan.

Her meaning was clear: she didn't want Yang Nan to stay for dinner tonight.

Yang Nan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He stood there awkwardly, unsure whether he should accept the money.

I stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, but according to our local customs, it's not appropriate for a strange man to stay overnight. I'll arrange for a driver to take you home."

"All right"

Yang Nan accepted the red envelope, and seeing that we didn't want to keep him, he left dejectedly.

I called him a Didi (ride-hailing service) and took him directly out of the villa.

Xia Weiwei was still throwing a tantrum in her room upstairs.

I couldn't be bothered with this younger sister at all. If it weren't for my mother's sake, I wouldn't have said a word to Xia Weiwei.

I went back to the kitchen to make dumplings. I made a whole box of fennel and lamb dumplings, because President Jiang loves lamb.

I don't know if visiting is allowed at night in the detention center, but I still want to bring the lunchbox I made myself to see President Jiang.

I want to say to him, Happy New Year!

I was busy in the kitchen when Xia Weiwei suddenly rushed downstairs. After searching around twice and not finding Yang Nan, she stormed into the kitchen and raised her hand to slap me.

She yelled at me, "You shameless woman from the countryside, did you kick Nan Ge out? Let me tell you, he's my boyfriend, this is my home, and you're the one who should get out!"

"Have you said enough?"

I grabbed the pot lid and blocked her slap. Her fair fingers struck the lid with a crisp sound, and her hand turned red from the pain.

I just think she deserved it.

I calmed myself down and said, "Have you broken enough things? Have you lost your temper enough? Xia Weiwei, from your perspective, I can understand if you feel that I have taken away your interests and don't want me to come back to this home."

But you must remember one thing: I'm going back to my parents' house, not yours.

If you don't like it, keep it to yourself! Don't ruin the harmony of the family here!

"It's the Lunar New Year, I don't want to lecture you!"

"You dare to lecture me?"

Xia Weiwei said, "You dare to hit me and see what happens?"

"Go back to your room."

I said with a serious expression.

I scolded Xia Weiwei until she cried, and she completely broke down, throwing away all the fish, shrimp, and meat that had been prepared in the kitchen.

My mother, Bai Jie, was really disappointed when she saw all this. She grabbed my hand and said, "Xia Weiwei, it's the New Year, everyone's family is having a reunion. Who are you giving a hard time to? What's with your temper?"

"She's the one who drove Nan away."

Xia Weiwei cried angrily: "Mom, she's a bad woman."
