The Secret of Second Marriage

"Auntie, I'm sorry."

I say.

Lu Xiao's mother didn't speak. After a deathly silence, she whispered, "You don't need to apologize to me. You should apologize to my son, not me."

Also, your aunt can't agree to your request because it's a matter of your relationship with Lu Xiao.

"Your aunt has no right to make any decisions for my son. Your aunt still hopes you'll wait for Lu Xiao to be released from prison and have a proper talk with him. If my son chooses to break up, I will respect that. If my son chooses not to break up, Man, I still hope you'll consider it carefully."

"I see"

I say.

My aunt and I had nothing more to say to each other, so we hung up the phone.

I still resolutely chose to annul the engagement. I felt too ashamed to go to the Lu family again, so I called SF Express, paid a high price for insurance, and put all the jewelry, checks, and cash in a safe. I wrote down a gift list on a piece of paper, categorized them, and after I finished writing it, I sent a message to Lu Xiao's mother and asked the courier to return the items.

When the SF Express courier came to pick up the package, his eyes lit up when he saw it was me again, and he said, "Ms. Jiang, you are truly my VIP customer. This time, the delivery fee plus the insurance is over 1 yuan. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the package to this important customer, personally watch her sign for it, and then inform you of the news."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

I say.

Because the items were valuable, my dad arranged for two bodyguards to accompany the SF Express delivery staff to the location.

The annulment was done quickly; around 6 p.m. that day, Lu Xiao's mother received the package I sent her.

She signed for the package in front of the courier, opened it, and checked it. I returned all the things the Lu family had given me. She sent me a WeChat message saying, "I'll keep these things for now and won't touch them. As for the annulment of the engagement, you two young people can discuss it yourselves when my son comes back."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

I say.

I felt a pang of regret and disappointment. It was clear that Lu Xiao's mother was a very sensible and kind-hearted strong woman.

Unfortunately, I have no connection with the Lu family.

I sent the news of the annulment to President Jiang and said to him, "I'm returning all the betrothal gifts, the three gold pieces, and the hotel expenses. President Jiang, to avoid any complications, please go to the police station as soon as possible to clear up the misunderstanding."

"Man, Lu Xiao should be released first thing tomorrow morning."

President Jiang took a deep breath and then called back to reply to my message.

"It shouldn't leave a criminal record, right?"

I asked.

"Won't"

President Jiang said, "I have no conflict of interest with Lu Xiao, and I won't kill him. Man, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"That's all, I'll hang up now."

I say.

Mr. Jiang, however, was reluctant to hang up and said to me, "Man, don't hang up so soon. I don't want to sleep yet; I want to talk to you and hear your voice..."

"What's there left to say between us? I feel so guilty and heartbroken. No matter what, I still hurt Lu Xiao's feelings. For Lu Xiao, it's like a bolt from the blue that his fiancée called off the wedding before it was even happening."

I think he'll be deeply hurt when he finds out tomorrow... and all of this is thanks to you, Mr. Jiang.

I gave a wry smile, and when I finally read out the name "General Manager Jiang," I gritted my teeth and emphasized the words.

"Man, I did this just to make you see your own heart clearly, so you won't regret it. Your heart is never with Lu Xiao. You will leave Lu Xiao sooner or later because you still have me in your heart."

President Jiang suddenly said.

I was slightly shocked. Could it be that my heart really wasn't with Lu Xiao, but with President Jiang? No, tears streamed down my face.

"I shouldn't have loved you, Jiang Hui."

I said, "I've realized I don't know you well enough!"

"Man, there will be plenty of time in the future, and you will gradually get to know me."

President Jiang said, "Goodnight, I love you."
