The Secret of Second Marriage

Juan whispered, "Man, actually he took my money and left, and I'm not sad at all. I heard he went back to his hometown, leased a mountain, built a chicken farm, and even received poverty alleviation subsidies and grants from the village."

He was a boy from the countryside who was completely out of place in the city.

Perhaps I was drawn to his honesty and simplicity from the very beginning.

But I never expected that less than a week after he returned to his hometown, built a house, and invested in building a chicken farm, he would fall in love with a female college graduate who had recently become a village official.

He actively pursued the girl, sending her flowers and gifts, taking her out to dinner, and driving her around... The girl thought he was quite wealthy, hardworking, capable, and had a promising future, so she went with him.

They're asleep, you know?

"Man, why do you think guys are so materialistic?"

I hesitated for a moment before speaking.

You probably don't know.

Juan said, "Man, I've been in a bad mood lately. I happen to be free this afternoon, so I'll invite you to the gym to see some handsome guys."

Let's have a good look around, you two sisters.

"it is good"

I say.

Juan and I, two disheartened women, went to a high-end fitness club in Beijing.

Juan told me that many wealthy women and female celebrities have signed up for memberships there.

Juan is indeed a rich woman; the places she frequents and the quality of her spending are all exceptionally high-end.

She got me a membership card and took me upstairs to the gym, where there were lots of handsome guys.

This fitness club offers a wide variety of programs, including swimming, yoga, body shaping, cycling, taekwondo, and aerobics... Juan signed up for yoga.

After thinking about it, I decided to sign up for Taekwondo.

I want to learn some kung fu. I think girls can't always rely on men for protection; they always need to have some essential self-defense skills.

Juan said, "Man, Taekwondo is very tiring. Why don't you sign up for yoga with me? Yoga has heat therapy, detoxification, shaping, and aromatherapy. If you do yoga with me, you can maintain your flexibility and it will make you look more elegant."

"Juan, I want to learn some self-defense fighting skills."

I say.

Juan nodded.

I bought a very expensive annual membership card, which includes many purchases.

Although Juan is nearly 40 years old, she has been practicing yoga, so she has always maintained her appearance well and looks radiant.

I practiced Taekwondo at the club for an afternoon. I only heard the coach say two things. The first was that women should make good use of elbow strikes in their fighting techniques, and the second was about weapons.

"Even the best self-defense techniques are no match for a brick!"

I memorized those words and never expected they would come in handy so soon.

My teaching assistant is a young and handsome guy named Xiao Hou. He is tall and thin with eight-pack abs and dyed blond hair, looking a bit like a Korean heartthrob.

I wasn't actually interested in my teaching assistant because, upon closer inspection, his eyes were a bit small, and he looked somewhat like a Korean male celebrity named Rain.

His facial features aren't actually that good-looking; it's just that his physique makes him stand out, giving him a cool and handsome appearance.

But compared to a top-tier handsome man like Shen Xing, who is perfect from every angle and extremely handsome on screen, he's just an ordinary person...

Seeing that I was dressed in designer clothes and knowing that I was Sister Juan's friend, the little monkey guessed that I must be very rich, maybe a wealthy woman, and that I was lonely and bored, so I came to the gym to relieve my loneliness.

After our training ended, he proactively added me on WeChat and said, "Hey sis, it was nice meeting you. You're so beautiful, remember to think of me!"

I got goosebumps.

I smiled but didn't say anything.

After I finished training, I took a shower, changed my clothes, and saw Juan and her fitness assistant come out as well.

Her fitness assistant chatted and laughed with her, calling her "sister" repeatedly, and Juan even suggested going to karaoke together that night, bringing along her new boyfriend.

I only found out then that this guy with eight-pack abs, tattoos on his arms, and a particularly cool demeanor was her new boyfriend.

I wanted to remind Juan that this man was clearly not someone to be trifled with; his greedy look made it obvious that he was after Juan's money.

But they are all adults.

It's just a charade; Juan might not necessarily develop genuine feelings for this teaching assistant.

She just wanted to quickly move on to a new relationship and forget her heartbreak.

After leaving the club in the evening, Juan had the driver take the four of us to a high-end restaurant for dinner, and then to a similarly upscale nightclub for karaoke.

What I didn't expect was that I would run into President Jiang right at the entrance of the nightclub.

On his first day out of prison, President Jiang invited a few business partners to a nightclub for a purely business meeting; there were no beautiful women or waitresses.

He happened to see Juan and me at the door, with a fitness instructor on each side. His eyes instantly welled up with tears. He walked over to me, pulled me away, and said, "Jiang Man, you've really made something of yourself!"
