The Secret of Second Marriage

Chapter 359 Resuming Filming

I flew to the agency and met Sister Qiong.

The headquarters of Entertainment King Entertainment Company is located in a luxurious business district of Shanghai. The company's offices occupy three entire floors of a skyscraper.

This should be the largest entertainment agency in the Chinese entertainment industry.

I showed my artist ID to the security guard and strode into the agency.

In Sister Qiong's office, she wore a silk shirt paired with black suit pants, her long hair was draped down, her skin was fair, her features were capable, and she exuded the aura of a strong woman.

She is almost 45 years old, but she still looks very young.

She invited me to sit down in her office, had my secretary make two cups of coffee, and then took three or four scripts from her desk, placing them in my hands and saying, "As your agent, these are three or four scripts I've selected. I feel they're all quite suitable for you. Take a look and see which one you like?"

"Let's take this book, 'Women at Thirty'."

I carefully read four scripts, two of which were period dramas and two were modern dramas.

I feel that it's impossible for actors my age to act in period dramas; they can only play roles like mothers or empresses.

Modern urban romance dramas are actually my forte.

The story I chose, "Women at Thirty," tells of three sisters who, as they reach middle age, face a series of challenges in their married lives.

I play the eldest sister, a female lawyer. She's capable in both social situations and domestic duties, earning her own money while also taking good care of her family, including her parents and two younger sisters.

In this drama, I play the role of the eldest sister.

I really like this character. The story is about a lawyer who, in middle age, discovers that her husband is having an affair, transfers all the family's assets, sells all the houses, and goes abroad with his mistress.

After losing everything, I started working hard again and eventually met the president of a company. We met under unusual circumstances, but eventually got together and fell in love.

I was stunned for a long time after reading this script because this story actually happened in real life; I really did date President Jiang.

I decided to take the role.

Sister Qiong nodded and praised me for my good taste.

Sister Qiong truly lives up to her reputation as a top female agent in the industry, possessing a wealth of resources and scripts at her disposal.

With her help, I signed an agreement with the producer and started filming that very afternoon.

I filmed in Hengdian for more than three months. The New Year passed quickly, and before I knew it, spring had arrived again. The peach blossoms were in bloom, and it was spring again.

That day, while I was filming on set, I suddenly received a phone call from Grandma Jiang.

She was so angry that she suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. There was no one she trusted to take care of her, and the only person she could think of was me.

She said, "Man, Grandma misses you so much. Grandma has something to tell you, something to ask of you..."

"Grandma, you don't need to be so polite with me. I'll be heading back to Beijing right away."

My filming was almost finished, so I asked the crew for a few days off and immediately flew back to Beijing.

I saw Grandma Jiang at the hospital. She looked much more haggard and was on an IV drip.

Grandma Jiang said, "Man, I have bad news for you. Jiang Hui lost his case. I went to the court hearing that day and knew he was going to lose."

That lawyer was perfunctory, offering no defense whatsoever, and even chatting and laughing with the opposing lawyer after the trial ended.

I suspect he was bribed... The court hearing results came out yesterday afternoon.

What I didn't expect was that those people were so shameless. Last night, Jiang Yu'an invited that unscrupulous lawyer to dinner at a fancy hotel and even took a group photo, which he deliberately posted on his WeChat Moments to show me. It was clearly telling me that the lawyer was one of his people... What can I do about it?

Seriously, this is infuriating!
