The Secret of Second Marriage

On the second day of the new year, Attorney Guo contacted me in a very urgent manner.

After I finished the call, I went to the coffee shop to meet them.

Attorney Guo ordered an iced Americano at the coffee shop and said to me in a heavy tone, "Ms. Jiang, I have encountered many instances of being betrayed by clients over the years, but I never expected it to be President Jiang this time."

This morning, he hired another lawyer in prison, signed an agreement, and had the lawyer call me to tell me that he didn't intend to have me as his lawyer anymore.

He changed lawyers, the contract is over, and I will no longer be handling his case.

"Attorney Guo, I..."

I was a little caught off guard when I suddenly heard the news.

Attorney Guo and I work together very well.

We were very confident about the second case, but unexpectedly, President Jiang refused to let Attorney Guo take his case.

This shows that he became suspicious of me while in prison and didn't want to use the lawyer I hired for him.

I have a bad feeling.

The time has come again to test the tacit understanding between me and President Jiang.

I had just finished speaking with Ms. Guo when Mr. Jiang's new lawyer, Attorney Fu, called me. His first words were, "Is this Ms. Jiang? As Mr. Jiang's lawyer, I'd like to discuss something with you."

"What is it? Tell me."

I have prepared for the worst.

Attorney Fu is a middle-aged man in his forties who is quite well-known in the industry and is a partner at a large law firm.

His voice carried a shrewd, cold, and calculating quality as he said, "Miss Jiang, I know you are Mr. Jiang's fiancée, but my client, Mr. Jiang, is in prison and has no intention of getting engaged to you."

He also signed another agreement requesting that you return 45% of the Jiang Group's shares to him.

"Did he say it himself?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "If he said it himself, then I will do as he says. But could you please pass on a message to President Jiang? I hope he will think it over carefully and not regret it later."

"President Jiang won't regret it."

Attorney Fu said with particular disdain, "Ms. Jiang, I heard that your family background is not good. You may not have been exposed to such a huge wealth empire as the Jiang Group. It is normal that you were tempted by the interests and did not want to return the shares."

However, what was signed at the time was ultimately a shareholding agency agreement. Don't forget, the real choice still rests with President Jiang. You need to be realistic and not make things too ugly later.

"I'm in a coffee shop, my lawyer is here. Bring out the document personally signed by President Jiang. I need to see it with my own eyes; otherwise, I won't sign it..."

I whispered to the opposing lawyer.

"You won't give up until you see the Yellow River, fine. It's written very clearly in black and white, see for yourself."

Attorney Fu drove to our coffee shop shortly after hanging up the phone.

He arrived wearing a black and white striped bespoke suit, a black tie, a buzz cut, and black-rimmed glasses. He was very tall and carried a briefcase.

Attorney Guo stood up and greeted him.

"Good job, Lawyer Fu"

To my surprise, the opposing lawyer completely ignored my lawyer, and arrogantly sat down at the coffee table, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it to me.

He said, "I've seen plenty of women like you. Aren't you just after money? Seeing President Jiang in jail, you think you have no hope for the rest of your life. Right now, you're probably busy draining the company's assets."

Don't use your selfish perspective to guess what others are thinking.

I calmly retorted.

I really don't know why President Jiang chose such a calculating and worldly-wise man as his lawyer.

Attorney Fu seemed to sense my doubts and introduced himself, saying, "I am President Jiang's senior from university. We have been close since childhood. I am a top student in the law department. I am the most suitable person to handle this case."

From now on, I will be Mr. Jiang's legal representative. Oh, by the way, Ms. Jiang, Mr. Jiang asked me to pass on a message to you: Did you and Shen Xing have a good date on New Year's Eve?

Hearing this was like a bolt from the blue. It turned out that even after President Jiang went to jail, there were still people passing on information from the outside world to him.

Shen Xing and I were indeed together last night for New Year's Eve, but we only went out for drinks and dinner. Even when he hugged me when we said goodbye, I didn't accept it; I just calmly pushed him away...

I didn't expect that President Jiang still harbored doubts about my relationship with Shen Xing.

I didn't want my relationship with President Jiang to end so abruptly, so after a long while I said, "Could you please pass on a message to President Jiang for me? I have never done anything that I can be ashamed of, and I have never betrayed him."

I've been trying my best to get him out..."

"No need to say anything more. Anyone can make empty promises, but the fact is you are indeed dating Shen Xing."

Attorney Fu interrupted me rudely, showing no patience whatsoever. He wouldn't even relay a message to President Jiang or offer any explanation on my behalf.

I suddenly realized that they were conspiring to sideline me, take away my shares, and completely control President Jiang.

My fingers trembled as I looked at the letter of authorization that President Jiang had written to him. It clearly stated that Jiang Man's status as his fiancée was to be revoked, the 45% of shares previously transferred to her would be taken back, and she would be removed from her position as acting chairman...

I suddenly thought of the favored concubines in ancient times. Because they displeased the emperor and aroused his suspicion, even the slightest suspicion could strip the favored concubine of all her power and banish her to the cold palace, leaving her with no chance of redemption.

Fortunately, I live in the modern world. Even without relying on President Jiang, I can still make a name for myself.

I suddenly smiled, a smile that was both tragic and relieved: "So that's how it is. I should have guessed it long ago. Jiang and I were destined for this day. It turns out, he never trusted me after all."

Fine, I, Jiang Man, am not the kind of woman who's after his money and status.

These shares were all given to me by him, and this more than 100 million in cash was also left to me by him. Now that he has taken them back...

Then please tell him for me: Let's break up. I will return all the shares and money to him intact.

"You're smart to know what's good for you. But what's that 100 million? Why didn't you tell me, Mr. Jiang?"

When Attorney Fu heard that President Jiang had left me more than 100 million yuan, his eyes lit up instantly, revealing a greedy look.

Upon seeing this, Ms. Guo immediately said, "Man, that money was specially left for you by President Jiang. It's registered in your name. You can give it to whomever you want, and no one can take it away if you don't want to give it to anyone."

Since President Jiang didn't mention that money, you don't need to rush to pay it back!

Even if you want to return it to President Jiang, you must wait until he is released from prison and return it to him personally. Do not return it to anyone else, otherwise things will become complicated later.

"it is good"

I say.

I am very grateful to Attorney Guo for suddenly reminding me. With her professional skills, she probably felt there was a trap involved. After all, President Jiang is currently in jail and cannot be released or seen. Some unscrupulous people will take advantage of the situation to make a fortune.

I'll keep this money for Mr. Jiang for now.

Attorney Fu was displeased: "Ms. Jiang, weren't you quite assertive just now? Breaking up is fine, but return the money to President Jiang. That's Jiang Group's money, not yours. Please have some self-awareness!"

"Then produce proof that I should pay you back."

I said with a sneer, "Unless President Jiang comes to me in person, I will not return this money to anyone."

"you……"

Attorney Fu's face immediately darkened.

I didn't want to get entangled with this lawyer any longer. I exchanged a glance with Attorney Guo and quickly signed the share transfer agreement. While signing the agreement, I took a few photos and took another look at the contents of the agreement.

In the end, President Jiang chose to leave the shares to his grandmother, who was the only family member he trusted most in the world.

I think it's a good idea. Grandma Jiang has a lot of experience, so having her manage the group's shares is definitely a suitable choice.

Attorney Guo also signed a power of attorney transfer, terminating his agreement with President Jiang.

After we signed the papers, we left the coffee shop very cleanly and efficiently.

When I left the coffee shop, the parking lot was surrounded by bamboo and various green plants, creating a particularly stylish atmosphere.

The bamboo is still so green even in winter.

Attorney Guo said to me, "Man, Happy New Year! On the second day of the Lunar New Year, while everyone else was celebrating at home, you were still working hard for President Jiang. I saw it all. You are a woman who values ​​relationships and loyalty."

"It's because President Jiang doesn't appreciate you. You've been working so hard for him, risking your life, and consulting with me every day about his case. You've tried so hard to get him out... He shouldn't doubt you!"

"It doesn't matter. I've done what I was supposed to do and said what I was supposed to say. The rest is up to President Jiang to decide. There's nothing I can do about it."

The most important thing in life is to live with a clear conscience.

I say.

Attorney Guo sighed and said, "Many people think that marrying into a wealthy family is easy, but it's not that easy. President Jiang is indeed rich, but the risks are also very high."

His lawyer is quite famous in our legal profession; he's notoriously profit-driven.

I had heard rumors about him before. He once betrayed his client for money, selling his conscience just because the client paid him three times the legal fees.

I don't know why President Jiang chose him as his lawyer, but I do know that President Jiang might suffer a loss.

Please contact me if you need anything further!

"Okay, thank you, Attorney Guo. I've seen you working tirelessly on Mr. Jiang's case all this time. I'm truly grateful!"

I say.

We chatted for a while in the parking lot before getting into our respective cars.

Uncle Geng, the driver, drove me away.

He asked me, "Miss, are you going to the company today?"

"I'm not going anymore, I don't need to go anymore."

I say.
