The Secret of Second Marriage

After listening to Grandma Jiang's words, I remained silent and did not say a word.

I had anticipated this outcome three months ago.

Since it was President Jiang who made the choice, I have no choice but to respect it, because we are all adults.

"Son, have you missed Ahui these past few days? You two almost got married."

Grandma Jiang played the emotional card.

My heart still ached slightly, and I said softly, "Grandma, since he doesn't trust me, I don't want to keep bothering him. It's pointless."

We are both adults and we must bear the consequences of our choices.

Since he trusted that lawyer, and now that he's lost the case, he can only blame himself for misjudging people.

"Man, Jiang Hui still cares about you. He regretted it a long time ago and reflected on it for several months in prison. You were the one he missed the most while he was in there."

Last time, it was because a lawyer met with him privately and told him about you spending New Year's Eve with Shen Xing that he... You know, the thing a man can't stand the most is being cheated on by the woman he loves.

Grandma Jiang said.

"I didn't cheat on him. Shen Xing and I have never been together from beginning to end."

I say.

"Since you're not together, you should still keep your distance. It's a bit disregarding personal boundaries for a woman to spend New Year's Eve eating and drinking with a young man."

Grandma Jiang said it very politely.

I calmly retorted to her: "Grandma, why is it considered normal for a successful man to deal with various secretaries, businesswomen, and female officials in the business world?"

"And a woman going out to eat with a male friend is going to be labeled and stereotyped?"

"Man, you're right."

Grandma Jiang seemed to be convinced by me and nodded.

She, an elderly woman, has had to manage the company's affairs and run around for President Jiang's sake, which has made her look much more haggard.

Grandma Jiang suddenly grabbed my hand and looked at me pleadingly, saying, "Man, I know Jiang Hui was wrong in this matter. He shouldn't have distrusted you at the most crucial moment and changed the lawyer... Grandma called you back this time because I have something to ask of you."

For the sake of the love you once shared, please help him. You are the only woman in this world who truly cares about him and is willing to help him.

Grandma is getting old and can't do many things anymore. Please help Jiang Hui secretly get rid of all the evil spirits and scourges. Grandma is willing to transfer all her shares to you, okay? (Man)

Grandma Jiang owns 8.6% of the shares. Don't underestimate these shares; within the Jiang Group, a top-tier new energy conglomerate with a trillion-dollar empire, they are worth over a billion yuan.

To be honest, I'm tempted.

But I know I am not qualified to take this money. I am neither an employee of the Jiang Group nor have I participated in the establishment of the Jiang Group.

I have no credit for this.

But I will definitely help President Jiang with this...

I spoke frankly: "Grandma, to be honest, I'm really tempted by 8% of the shares. That's a huge fortune; any woman would be greedy, envious, and want to have it all."

But I know that if I take this money, I will become a cold-blooded woman who sees only the exchange of interests.

"Mr. Jiang, I will go to rescue her, but I will not take advantage of her misfortune to seize her shares."

No matter how far I go in life, I will always keep my original aspiration and never let myself down or others down.

Grandma Jiang looked at me with admiration, gave me several signed company agreements, invited me to return to the company as the person in charge, and another agreement entrusted me with all of President Jiang's affairs.

After leaving Grandma Jiang's place with the two agreements in my car, I went to find Attorney Guo.

Attorney Guo was very straightforward, and we quickly reached an agreement after meeting.

She said, "Man, I also heard yesterday that President Jiang's case was decided, and he lost in the first instance."

I knew you would come looking for me, but the second trial will be quite difficult.

In the first instance, we litigate against the plaintiff's lawyer, but in the second instance, we litigate against the court itself, seeking to overturn all the evidence and judgments presented by the court in the first instance.

I will definitely do my best in this case, but the legal fees may double. Can you accept that?

"Yes, money is not a problem, as long as the person can come out."

I say.

I cannot forgive President Jiang for not trusting me at the most crucial moment and for changing my lawyer, which led to the situation we are in today.

However, from another perspective, I cannot stand by and watch him be framed and imprisoned for the rest of his life, spending it there. That would be too tragic for him.

I decided to save him.

Attorney Guo and I re-signed the agency agreement with Mr. Jiang.

She plans to visit President Jiang at the detention center tomorrow.

As I was leaving the law firm, Attorney Guo suddenly asked me, "Man, if you win the case and President Jiang is acquitted, will you still be with him?"

"Probably not."

I said, "I've now reunited with my biological parents, and my career is going very well. Everything is gradually settling down. My mom said that after this movie is finished filming, she'll introduce me to a blind date."

I'll treat the past as a dream, seriously go on blind dates, find a reliable man, and remarry.

"Keep it up, manga!"

Attorney Guo gave me an encouraging look.

I went home to visit Tangtang.

I haven't been home for more than three months while filming in Hengdian.

Tangtang has grown a lot taller and is much prettier.

Tangtang's parents really treat her like a precious treasure. Tangtang's room is full of all kinds of beautiful toys, Lolita dresses, and books that little girls love to read these days.

When the four of us were having dinner that evening, Mom suddenly dropped a bombshell: "Man, your sister Weiwei is pregnant, and her baby is already more than three months along."

"If word gets out that we're pregnant out of wedlock, people will think our daughter is so worthless, that she was easily seduced into bed by some poor guy."

"Hmph! If she really marries that Yang Nan, I won't take a single penny! I mean it!"

My father, Mr. Xia, looked grim.

I asked, "So, what does the Yang family plan to say?"

My mom said, "They said it sounds nice. Yang Nan said that the woman he loves most in this world is your sister! He will cherish your sister for the rest of his life and hold her in the palm of his hand."

His parents also said that they really like this daughter-in-law, and that once she marries your sister, the whole family will treat her like a goddess.

But I just don't like the Yang family. Other boys respect girls when they get married, saving their virginity for after the wedding. First, both sets of parents meet to discuss the wedding process, and only then do they get the marriage certificate, get married, and have children.

Honestly, your father and I have lived for so many years, and the marriage procedures passed down from our ancestors are very wise. No girl who violates these procedures will have a good ending.

Your sister Weiwei is so willful. I heard she was tricked into taking all her savings and buying an apartment with an elevator in the man's hometown city for over 200 million yuan.

The man's mother, sister, brother-in-law, and brother's entire family moved in, and Weiwei had to pay for all their food, drinks, and other necessities. It's outrageous!

Xia Weiwei grew up in a pampered environment and never experienced hardship; she has always maintained a cool and aloof goddess image.

Back in college, I was photographed having dinner and singing with Mr. Jiang and his roommates, which sparked rumors about me and Mr. Jiang.

Both of them were very aloof. Later, Xia Weiwei went abroad with a rich second-generation heir and dumped President Jiang.

Xia Weiwei originally planned to marry that rich second-generation, but she didn't expect to find out that the rich second-generation was a very promiscuous person after going abroad.

When she appeared on a TV show, she met Yang Nan, a simp who relentlessly pursued her and clung to her passionately. As a wealthy and beautiful woman from the city, she had never seen anything like this before and thought she had found her true love.

Xia Weiwei and Yang Nan were madly in love, and she was willing to run away from home to be with that man.

I, however, felt that Yang Nan was scheming against Xia Weiwei.

I said, "Mom and Dad, what do you want me to do?"

My mom said, "Man, the Yang family called and said your sister's belly is getting bigger every day, and they want our whole family to go to their city tomorrow to discuss the wedding. Your dad and I don't want to go. Can you go in our place?"

My parents are getting old and can't handle any stress.

I am the eldest daughter in the family and the pillar of the family. It is time for me to step up.

I said, "Sure, I'll go with my bodyguards and lawyer tomorrow to see how the Yang family plans to discuss the marriage."

However, Mom and Dad, there's something I need to say upfront: if the Yang family goes too far, I won't show them any mercy.

Weiwei is my sister. No matter how bad things get between us, we'll always be family.

Although I don't particularly like Weiwei, I wouldn't harm her. Seeing her jumping into a fire pit, going there tomorrow, I'll find a chance to talk to her.

"Man, you're such a good daughter. This matter is all up to you."

"Mom wiped away her tears and said."

My dad, Mr. Xia, wasn't in the mood for dinner. He had a long face and said, "Go where? Why did you send Xiaoman on this trip? You know those people have no good intentions!"

I have only one statement: If Xia Weiwei dares to marry that Yang Nan, she will sever all ties with the Xia family. I will disown her as my daughter!

"Honey, that's true, but Weiwei is still our biological daughter. You can be so heartless, but I can't..."

My mom cried until her eyes were red.

When I returned to my biological parents' home, I found that they were truly wonderful parents. They didn't discriminate against girls, nor did they beat or scold me. They always spoke to me politely and gently.

The family is quite harmonious, the only unhappy thing is that Xia Weiwei refuses to come back to this home.

I don't like Xia Weiwei, but I still have to fulfill my responsibilities as the head of the household!

The next day, a light spring rain fell, the willows in the capital sprouted new green leaves, the peach blossoms opened, and the swallows returned.

I took my bodyguard and driver, contacted a young lawyer from Guo's law firm, got into my celebrity van, and drove to Zhengzhou, Henan, via the highway.

We set off at around 8 a.m. and drove for more than three hours until around 11 a.m. before finally exiting the highway at the Zhengzhou exit.

The address my mom gave me is Yang Nan's home in Xinxiang City, which is under Zhengzhou.

However, with the improved economic situation in recent years, Yang Nan used all the money he earned working at the factory to build a villa for his family in the village.

It was built by two brothers together. I heard it has three floors. The top floor is for the older brother, the middle floor is for the younger brother, and the bottom floor is for their parents.

This is my first time coming to Henan for a business trip.

When we arrived in Xinxiang City, we parked our car in a paid parking lot and had a bowl of braised noodles and spicy soup for lunch.
