The Secret of Second Marriage

On Monday, I asked Mr. Jiang for half a day off.

Mr. Jiang's first reaction was to call and ask me, "Are you feeling unwell?"

I said, "President Jiang, I'm not feeling unwell, it's just a personal matter."

Mr. Jiang said, "From now on, don't call me Mr. Jiang, just call me Jiang Hui. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

I nodded, feeling very touched.

The court hearing started at around 9 a.m. I was wearing a red coat with a white fur collar, my long black hair was down, and I had fair skin and delicate features.

Xu Lu was dressed in a black suit, high heels, and glasses, exuding a capable and mature woman's charm.

We entered the courtroom one after the other.

When I first appeared in court, my lawyer and I were fully prepared.

The mistress and her lawyer were also present.

Yang Yufei was wearing an expensive down jacket with a fox fur collar, had long, straight black hair, fair skin, and a fresh and pretty makeup look. She looked innocent and pure in every gesture.

She was still on the phone when she arrived at court, and the way she was exchanging glances clearly indicated that she was talking to my husband.

My lawyer presented our arguments step by step in court.

Yang Yufei's lawyer shamelessly said, "Our client is also innocent. She was cheated on by a mistress."

She was unaware of her partner's marital status when she was with him. Furthermore, her husband personally admitted that he unconditionally gifted these assets to my client, claiming it was compensation for deceiving her feelings.

"She dated the man for over three years and didn't know he wasn't married? Then why is it that in the chat logs and video evidence we provided, the woman herself said she admired the man greatly and wouldn't mind being his mistress even though he was married?"

My lawyer directly retrieved my husband's chat history with his mistress according to the evidence list.

Those chat logs were secretly recorded by me late at night using my husband's phone after I discovered his infidelity.

This bombshell was only released at this moment!

Yang Yufei's eyes widened, clearly panicked.

She probably never expected that I had so much evidence against her.

I sneered. This is just the beginning.

The opposing lawyer was also stunned.

He produced a property gift agreement that my husband had personally signed, stating that he voluntarily spent money on his mistress without expecting her to return it, and that all the money was earned by him.

I've been a full-time housewife for so many years, and he pays for all the household expenses, so he doesn't need to ask for my opinion.

I was heartbroken and said in court, "Judge, I do not agree to this agreement. Although I am a housewife, I have also contributed a lot to this family, giving birth to children, raising them, doing housework, and cooking."

Furthermore, every penny my husband earns after marriage is considered joint property.

The judge accepted my statement.

Attorney Xu said, "Judge, it's very clear. At that time, the husband had an extramarital affair and transferred most of the marital property to his mistress."

In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of my client, I am writing on behalf of my client to recover these jointly owned marital properties.

The mistress turned green upon hearing this.

She gave her lawyer a look.

The judge looked at the mistress: "Defendant, the law protects the property rights of a spouse. Therefore, this property gift agreement is not legally protected. Do you understand what I mean?"

Her lawyer immediately said, "Judge, we understand. Actually, we're not unreasonable people."

I have communicated with my client, and we can return a portion of the WeChat transfers and bank card transfers. However, the evidence provided by the defendant regarding other transfers is insufficient.

For example, the funds my clients used to buy a house and open a shop were transferred from a third-party account, which does not prove that they are their marital property.

I was taken aback for a moment, and my lawyer reminded me as well.

Attorney Xu said, "We can ask for this portion of the money today. We can continue to claim the rest once we have evidence."

I'm a little disappointed.

My husband and his mistress had made thorough preparations long ago.

He transferred the money to my mother-in-law, who then transferred it to a third-party relative, and finally it was transferred to the mistress's account. Therefore, it is a bit difficult for the court to determine the ownership of that house and the expenses for opening the shop.

Unless I can prove that my husband and mother-in-law conspired to transfer money to his mistress, my mother-in-law will insist that the money was a loan and that she has no intention of repaying it.

I now realize that my husband had already prepared an escape route, and I was the only one foolishly worrying about this family.

So, the judge mediated in court, saying that the mistress had to return a total of 8 yuan of our marital property, and asked me if I was satisfied with this outcome.

I shook my head.

Attorney Xu was also dissatisfied with the result.

She asked the judge for more time so that she could gather sufficient evidence at the next hearing.

The judge nodded and adjourned the court.

The mistress was particularly smug as she left the courtroom.

My lawyer and I walked out of the courtroom.

A black Mercedes was parked on the tree-lined greenway in front of the courthouse.

My husband was actually waiting in the car.

Perhaps it was instinct from being married for many years, but for a moment I felt that he was waiting for me.

But unexpectedly, he came to pick up his mistress.

He was still dressed in a suit and tie, looking successful in his career.

The young woman, clinging to his arm like a little bird, asked him affectionately, "Uncle, what are we going to eat for lunch today?"

"I'll take you wherever you want to eat."

My husband treats her with such tenderness and doting affection.

I was stunned on the spot, and tears involuntarily streamed down my face.

At that moment, I finally saw my husband's true colors.

I walked up to him and slapped him hard across the face.

"Xue Fan, you're scum!"

"Aman, don't blame me. I gave you a big house and the life of a rich wife. You were dissatisfied and insisted on coming to the company to cause trouble and catch your husband's mistress. Did you even consider what would happen to my reputation?"

"Which rich man doesn't have a mistress? Look at those wealthy wives."

Look at your best friend Juan. Her husband is having an affair, but she's smarter than you. She never exposes a man's lies. Why do you have to be so clear-headed?

He suddenly spoke very calmly.

The look of disappointment in his eyes suggested that I no longer conformed to the ideal of a virtuous wife and loving mother in his mind, someone who could help him take care of the family, the elderly, and balance interpersonal relationships.

So, he wanted to replace me.

"You've really taught me a lesson."

I took a deep breath. It turned out he had never truly loved me from the beginning. All these years, all my infatuation had been wasted.

I sneered: "Xue Fan, from now on, you're nothing but a piece of shit in my eyes."

Xu Lu drove over.

She parked her car next to me, opened the door, and said, "What's the point of talking to a jerk? Get in!"

I got on the bus.

Xu Lu stepped on the gas, and the car drove away gracefully.

She said, "Don't be discouraged. It's rare to win a lawsuit like this involving economic disputes on the first try. What we need next is evidence, and as far as I know, the person your husband trusts is your mother-in-law."

Many of his bank transfers and transaction records show significant financial dealings with your mother-in-law.

I suspect they transferred the money to the mistress through your mother-in-law.

When I heard Attorney Xu say that, I knew what was going on.

I suddenly thought of someone: my sister-in-law.

I think she can help me.

I said, "There is someone who can get close to my mother-in-law, and I want her to try and help me get evidence."

Attorney Xu nodded.

After Xu Lu and I parted ways, I immediately asked my sister-in-law to go shopping together.

My sister-in-law was dressed very glamorously, carrying a bag, and came out to ask me to go shopping and have dinner.

I took her to a coffee shop for tea.

My sister-in-law asked, "Sister-in-law, how's your lawsuit with that little vixen going?"

She probably heard from my mother-in-law that I was going to sue my mistress today.

I said, "My husband did transfer a lot of money to his mistress to buy her a house and a car, but all of it came from his mother's account, so it's hard for the court to make a determination unless they mentioned in the transfer that the money was used to buy a house for his mistress."

My sister-in-law is a shrewd person; she immediately understood what I meant.

She said, "Sister-in-law, do you know why that old woman is so nice to her mistress? Yesterday she even made pork rib soup and sent it to her."

I was stunned when I heard that.

Before I could say anything, my sister-in-law was already gritting her teeth in hatred.

Her eyes were red with anger: "What's so great about being a mistress? She's just taking advantage of having a bastard in her belly. A promiscuous woman like her, she'll throw herself into the bed of any rich man she sees. It's disgusting."

Who knows whose child she's carrying? I suspect she's just trying to force her way into the position. She thinks no one can see through her scheme.

I received a piece of news that came as a complete shock.

The mistress is pregnant.

Haha, my husband is such a scumbag.

He played each move with real flair.

If I'm still kept in the dark and he secretly transfers all my assets, and then his mistress has already given birth, and I'm left with nothing, that would be truly shocking.

My sister-in-law said, "The old lady had a fortune teller tell her son's mistress's fortune. The fortune teller said that she was definitely pregnant with a boy this time. The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She didn't care about her reputation anymore and went to serve her son's mistress every day."

I said, "Can you help me get the evidence?"

My sister-in-law said, "Okay, but I want 50."

After thinking about it, I realized that all the joint property my husband had accumulated over the years had been transferred to his mistress.

He clearly intends for his mistress to have a son for him; he wants to dump me and live with his mistress.

I can't let him off so easily.

He transferred that money and used it to buy a house, a car, and open a shop, totaling several million.

I said, "Deal."
