The Secret of Second Marriage

Chapter 358 Public Opinion Reversal

Silence, a full minute of silence.

I drank a cup of coffee and said with a sigh of relief, "He changed lawyers. This time, we really can't go on... Juan, to be honest, I had a feeling about this a long time ago."

President Jiang has too many interests involved. Even if no outsiders try to break us up, suspicion may arise over time due to these interests.

Actually, I don't blame him. Sitting in that position, a person really might change.

Juan sighed and said, "Juan, I've always felt that you are a special woman. Your heart is so pure and clean, like a palace on a snowfield, always waiting for the man who is worthy of your love."

President Jiang's background is too complicated.

He was the CEO of a group company where internal strife was particularly severe, and he almost went to jail twice because of it.

And that time, you were threatened and almost killed by someone hired to kill you.

The business world is like a battlefield. Sometimes being too rich isn't necessarily a good thing. Man, actually, I support your breakup with President Jiang.

I thought Shen Xing was pretty good before, why don't you consider that young man?

"Inappropriate"

I only said three words: "Juan, Shen Xing and I are not a good match."

I was badly hurt in my previous marriage, and now that I'm middle-aged, I don't want to go through another passionate love affair with someone younger than me.

I've realized I've become much more realistic, really. Shen Xing truly loves me now, but in 10 or 20 years, will he find me too old?

"Juan, I don't want to gamble, and I don't want to test human nature. I don't want to get involved in love during this time. I want to go to Hengdian to film quietly by myself."

"Manga! You have to keep it up!"

Juan squeezed my hand and said to me, "You suddenly remind me of a song called 'Who Can a Hurt Heart Still Love?' Sigh, we women really discover something after we turn 30: men become less important."

I'm almost 40 years old, and my driver, Hei Zi, has been pursuing me. He seems quite honest and kind, just like Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," and he takes care of me in every way.

Last time, during a business dinner, I was drugged and got drunk. An older man from the client's side groped me. He came to my rescue, smashing a bottle over the older man and carrying me home from the party.

Do you think he truly loves me? No, he's just taking another chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, which could bring him a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

Unfortunately, I won't be that foolish again. I'd rather invest in myself than in men.

We drank a few cups of coffee.

Juan's driver, Hei Zi, was dressed in a sharp suit, had a buzz cut, dark skin, and a tall, imposing build, giving off the mature, tough vibe of a gym instructor.

He carried the small gift he bought for Juan and whispered to her, "Sister, we have a client meeting at noon. The client flew in from abroad and wants to discuss a very big order with us."

"Okay, let's go."

Juan apologized to me, saying, "Man, I have to meet a very important client at noon, so I have to go back to the company to prepare. We'll talk later."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

I say.

Juan hurriedly left with Hei Zi, the driver and personal assistant.

Hei Zi carried a small gift in one hand and held Juan's hand with the other. The two of them left the coffee shop as intimately as a couple deeply in love.

Juan is truly the kind of ambitious and career-driven woman.

She has now undergone a complete transformation, exuding a resilient and ruthless aura, and has become a female CEO.

She acquired her ex-husband's company.

I heard that the acquisition was completed before the new year, which means that her ex-husband was heavily in debt less than a year after their divorce, and the company went bankrupt and owed the bank a huge amount of money and interest.

Her ex-husband is now a penniless man with millions in debt.

Before Ju Xiaoya, the mistress, could enjoy her life as a glamorous socialite for long, her designer bags, luxury cars, watches, and mansion were confiscated, turning her into a debtor's wife restricted from high-end consumption.

She hadn't recovered and cried several times in the house. She even called Juan, pleading humbly, "Sister, I was wrong. I swear to you, I never intended to take your position as the legal wife."

Liu Peng really knows he was wrong. He's been having a lot of negative thoughts lately and might jump off a building at any time. As his wife, could you please help him and help us?

We were really forced into this situation by our creditors, we had no other choice... Besides, that previous real estate project was introduced through your connections, sister, even if you hate me, you can't just ignore Peng's life or death.

He is, after all, your husband and the father of two children... Waaaaaah... As long as you can forgive Peng, you can hit me, you can scold me, I'll even kneel down before you... I'm really afraid that Peng will fail in his investments and do something rash like jumping off a building."

Juan never dreamed that this vixen would somehow get her phone number and have the nerve to call and play the victim.

She said coldly, "He is now your husband, and he has nothing to do with me anymore."

Ju Xiaoya, you guys were too greedy to invest in that money-making project, and now you've lost money and can only accept your bad luck.

Also, could you please pass on a message to Liu Peng for me: "He who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth!"

From the moment he started having an affair and plotting to divorce me, his life and career began to decline... I also have two children, whom I have already sent abroad to study.

Our marital bond in this life has ended. If we meet again, we'll be strangers. Whether he lives or dies is none of my business!

Ju Xiaoya pleaded desperately, "Juan, I beg you, if you have any grievances, take them out on me. Don't kill Liu Peng; after all, he's your lover."

One day husband and one hundred days of grace.

You wouldn't be so heartless, would you? Could you lend us some money so we can get through this difficult time?

Not much... 1000 million will be enough.

Juan laughed at the mistress's words. With her current net worth and her family's powerful background and resources, she could easily come up with 1000 million yuan. But she would rather keep that 1000 million yuan for herself. Why should she let the scumbag and the mistress benefit from it?

"Are you still asleep? You're talking about 1000 million? Dream on, anything is possible in dreams."

Juan sneered, "Ju Xiaoya, I know you've always been smug. In the world of love, you think you've won against me and that I'm your defeated opponent. But today, Sister Juan, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

In the eyes of truly wealthy women, your tricks of pleasing men as mistresses are utterly beneath contempt.

Because we wives don't rely on seducing men; we rely on our own abilities from beginning to end!

"Since I was able to elevate Liu Peng to a pedestal, I can also pull him down from it! Prepare to face your retribution today, you bastard!"

"Sister Juan, how could you... do this?"

Ju Xiaoya was furious and stopped pretending altogether.

She wanted to yell at Juan a few more times, but Juan had already lost patience and hung up the phone, ending the call.

Apologizing and admitting wrongdoing is useless if the mistress apologizes.

Liu Peng, shameless as ever, waited for Juan at the entrance of her company. When he saw Juan's BMW parked at the company entrance, he rushed over, knelt in front of her car, and cried bitterly, saying, "Wife, I was wrong. I only realized now that I can't live without you."

Before, I had a happy family, a successful career, and endless glory. I thought I had achieved all of this through my own abilities, so I became arrogant and had affairs, keeping mistresses...

I'm completely clear-headed now, and I still have feelings for you. As for the other woman, I'll cut ties with her completely. Can I go back to my family?

"Shall we remarry? Wife?"

Juan remained seated in the luxury car throughout the entire ordeal, but she waved to the two security guards from the company, who then took her ex-husband away.

She had been setting this up since the divorce, waiting for her ex-husband's fate today.

Fortunately, God did not disappoint her; her ex-husband really went bankrupt and suffered retribution.

She had been waiting for this day, finally able to vent her anger, and at the same time, she felt fortunate to have left sooner; perhaps it wasn't such a bad outcome after all, given the scumbag's character...

She was stubborn and deluded before, always clinging to the good things about her ex-husband and the memories.

Now I suddenly realize that my ex-husband Liu Peng is a selfish and disgusting scumbag.

She will never look back.

Liu Peng tried to ambush Juan several times, but was driven away by the bodyguards each time. Given his current status, he had no way of getting close to Juan, the company's chairwoman.

Juan is chauffeured around in luxury cars, and when she goes shopping, she has bodyguards carrying her things. Her mansion has access cards and strict security measures, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.

The old woman he once sneered at, even looked at with disgust and disdain, is now someone he would never see again.

The house where Liu Peng and his mistress lived was seized and auctioned off by the court. Now, one of them works as a driver and the other as a nanny; they are living a miserable life.

The two of them argued and complained about each other every day over trivial matters.

The mistress he once loved so deeply is now the wife he married, a piece of rice stuck to his collar, suffocating under the weight of enormous debt, struggling to make ends meet, and no one has a good temper.

Liu Peng has gotten drunk countless times this month and argued and fought with his mistress countless times, causing so much trouble that the neighbors called the police.

Some men rely on their wives' help to achieve success and then keep mistresses, wanting to kick their wives out.

This kind of scumbag will never have a good ending in his life!

……

When I got home, I checked my phone and found that the live stream of Tian Hongxia coming to reunite with her relatives yesterday had gone viral, with billions of views on Douyin.

The topic's popularity skyrocketed.

In addition, my celebrity status aroused a lot of curiosity among the audience.

I read a few comments. I didn't have high hopes, thinking that my cold-blooded actions yesterday would definitely be criticized.

But unexpectedly, after many years, the current public opinion environment is not as harsh as it used to be.

Many young people today have a stronger ability to distinguish right from wrong after reading books.

They all left messages on my account saying: "Sister, you did the right thing, keep it up!"

Sister, after seeing your adoptive mother like that yesterday, I understand why you wanted to escape your birth family.

Your adoptive mother talks about money all the time, and she even makes you act like Voldemort, making you give your brother 10 yuan a month. Why should she do that?

Because he's so big-faced?

And your sister-in-law, she spends the dowry you gave her, buys a car with a loan, and lives in a house you paid the down payment for, yet she has no gratitude whatsoever, and all she does is threaten you.

What a family of wicked people!

Sister, please focus on your acting and stay beautiful on your own! We will always support you!

I was moved to tears when I saw this. These netizens all stood by my side and supported my choice.

Instead of being called an ungrateful person, I gained hundreds of thousands more followers, and my friends sent me private messages to encourage me and cheer me on.

After seeing the overwhelming reports online, my agent, Sister Qiong, immediately arranged for a PR press release to portray me as an inspirational female celebrity from a rural area in order to capitalize on this wave of traffic.

My tragic family background, coupled with my indomitable personality and excellent acting skills, immediately boosted my fame.

Sister Qiong called me and said, "Man, maybe even God is on your side! When your career was at its lowest point, it was because you were implicated by President Jiang, and the internet was flooded with people cursing you for using connections."

But now that your background has been revealed, everyone knows how you managed to get to where you are today, step by step, from such a dysfunctional family background. You've established yourself in the entertainment industry and become a talented actress.

Your current public image is very inspiring, you have a lot of online traffic and generate a lot of buzz, and public opinion has reversed, so you should be able to start acting again.

"Really? That's great! Sis, I'll definitely do my best in filming!"

My eyes welled up with tears as I spoke.

I'm so excited. Right now, the only thing that matters to me is my career.

I just want to focus on making good films.

Sister Qiong asked me to go to the entertainment company. The company has received several scripts and asked me to pick one and see if there is a suitable one.

The company now values ​​my popularity and media attention, and has decided to focus on developing me as an artist and actor.
