The Secret of Second Marriage

After I finished breakfast, I heard my mother mention Xia Weiwei's matter, and I suddenly remembered that some time ago, Xia Weiwei filmed me going to President Jiang's residential area and meeting with President Jiang privately, and used this privacy to blackmail me into transferring more than 300 million yuan.

I called the police immediately, and Attorney Guo helped me follow up on this matter. Now there are some leads. Xia Weiwei, who is pregnant, was released on bail by the police, but Yang Nan, who was responsible for stalking and taking photos, was arrested and detained on charges of extortion.

She sold all her old gold jewelry, as well as those limited-edition designer bags and shoes that she had always been reluctant to wear.

Her previous entertainment company also terminated its contract with her.

She currently has no source of income and is heavily pregnant, likely due to give birth at the end of the year.

Xia Weiwei contacted her mother, setting aside her haughty demeanor as a young lady for the first time, and said she was willing to sit down and talk to her.

My mom said, "Man, you two are sisters after all. Weiwei... she's not doing well right now. Your dad's point is that Weiwei chose this path herself, and she has to finish it, even if she has to crawl on her knees."

Your father won't forgive Weiwei and won't let me see her. Could you go see her in my place? See if she's doing well; after all, she's my daughter too.

"Mom, I can go see her, but I can't help her. No one can help her. Only she can get out of this mess herself."

After thinking about it, I finally decided to agree to my mother's condition.

Xia Weiwei and I agreed to meet at a coffee shop near my house at 10 a.m.

I was wearing a blue baseball cap, with long black hair, sunglasses, and fair skin without makeup. I was dressed in a white T-shirt, a black down jacket, and white snow boots, looking both casual and aloof…

With my bag on my back and car keys in hand, I contacted my bodyguard, Uncle Geng, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, my mother packed a bag of homemade beef jerky in my car, along with some snacks and fruits for pregnant women, such as durian, cantaloupe, and strawberries, which she bought by the box.

Uncle Geng, the driver, drove the car to the parking lot, carried the gifts, and took me to the second floor of the coffee shop at 10 o'clock. Outside the private room with floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a bamboo grove with sparse shadows.

Xia Weiwei, heavily pregnant, sat in a corner of the coffee shop. I hadn't seen her in a long time, and I really couldn't recognize her. She was bare-faced, and looked like a steamed bun that had been soaked in boiling water. Her skin was wrinkled, her face was oily, and her pores were very large.

Her long hair was tied haphazardly behind her head, and she was wearing maternity clothes, the kind of common pink cotton pajamas with a sweater and long underwear underneath. I hardly recognized her sitting there.

If I hadn't known beforehand that she was my sister, I would have thought she was just a rural woman from the countryside, dressed sloppily and wearing a set of winter pajamas.

The pregnancy hormones really changed her a lot, turning her from a glamorous socialite into a disheveled and bloated woman.

I went up to her and sat down opposite her, asking, "Xia Weiwei, is it worth it? You deserved a better life. I reminded you when we were recording the show not to fall in love with Yang Nan."

Those "phoenix men" are very goal-oriented. They don't look for partners to love them, but to extract benefits and value from them. Once you are no longer of use to them, you will be the first one to be abandoned.

But you wouldn't listen, and you even got married and pregnant without his permission. You've blocked all your escape routes. Do you think he'll truly care for you?

"None of your business!"

Tears welled in Xia Weiwei's eyes, but she still proudly and defiantly said, "I didn't make the wrong choice. He's the father of my child, and I can't let anything happen to him."

Jiang Man, you're too ruthless! I can't beat you! I'm your sister, and Brother Nan is your brother-in-law. How could you be so heartless and send Brother Nan to prison for extortion? Are you even human?

The reason I asked you out is... I just want to beg you to release Brother Nan!

"If you want to save him, then kneel down and beg me!"

I lowered my eyes slightly and said softly.

Seeing Xia Weiwei like this hurt me deeply, but my reason told me I had to be even more ruthless, otherwise I would never be able to save this silly little sister.

Having been through it all myself, I didn't want her to follow the path I had taken, but she insisted on choosing this path, pursuing love at all costs.

"Jiang Man, I knew you were a bad woman. From the first moment I saw you, I knew that once you returned home, you would stop at nothing to steal my position and my parents' affection."

I know I've done a lot of things before, and you're not happy with me. You want to get revenge on me!

Okay, you've got what you wanted today. I'll kneel down and beg you, alright?

Xia Weiwei, such a proud young lady from a wealthy family, actually knelt down and begged me for a man like Yang Nan. She bit her lip and said, word by word, "Sister, I was wrong. Please have mercy and let my husband go. My biggest wish now is for him to come out of prison safely. My baby is waiting for its father..."

"Stop talking. I originally arrested him just to teach you two a lesson, to stop being lawless and extorting money!"

Xia Weiwei, after this incident, I can tell you very clearly what my bottom line is.

As long as I am alive, you will not be able to touch a single penny of the Xia family's property. Tell Yang Nan that the Xia family's property will not benefit the Yang family by even a single cent.

If the Yang family truly wants to marry you and gain the Xia family's approval, then have Yang Nan contact my lawyer after his release from prison to sign a prenuptial agreement stipulating that all of his salary and income for the next 10 years will belong to you.

Furthermore, he won't get a single penny of the Xia family's assets!

I said coldly.

Xia Weiwei's eyes were filled with shock, but she quickly said to me with hatred, "Jiang Man, aren't you just afraid that I will take the Xia family's property from you? Let me tell you, I will not sign that agreement, nor will I let my husband sign it."

No matter what, after Mom and Dad pass away, I will definitely have a share of their inheritance. Don't even think about taking it all for yourself.

"Then it's up to you."

I say.

Xia Weiwei and I didn't have much to say to each other. I promised her that I wouldn't make things difficult for her husband anymore and that I would have the lawyer withdraw the lawsuit. Her husband should be released soon.

To save money, Xia Weiwei dared not buy anything at the coffee shop, only daring to drink a free glass of water, and didn't even dare to order a cup of milk tea.

I sighed, seeing her in such a sorry state, I felt a sense of relief.

No matter what, a woman should never be blinded by love or make selfless sacrifices. You might think that if you wholeheartedly support a man, he will be grateful, but that won't happen.

Men will only look down on you, get close to you, and feel that you are not good enough for them!

Before leaving, I asked Uncle Geng, the driver, to leave some beef jerky, a bag of durian (for pregnant women), a box of strawberries, and cherries for Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei saw that it was something I had brought, and she was about to throw it away.

I told her, "The beef jerky was made by your mom. She said you loved eating the spicy beef jerky your family made when you were little."

These fruits were bought for you by your mother. Eat them if you want, or throw them away if you don't. It's up to you.

After saying that, I walked away gracefully.

Xia Weiwei took a deep look at those things. After I left, in a secluded corner, she suddenly stopped pretending to be strong and proud, and cried while hugging the pile of strawberries and cherries.

She had a really tough time after getting married. The former rich heiress had fallen so low that she and Yang Nan were living in a shared apartment in Beijing. The cheapest single room in the suburbs cost 800 yuan. It was a makeshift structure, like a shed on a construction site. The public toilet and kitchen were outside, and if you wanted to use them, you had to pay an extra 100 yuan per month.

Yang Nan took control of all the family finances and never told Xia Weiwei how much money they had. He simply said that now that they had a child, they couldn't live as extravagantly as before, so he had to manage the family's money.

Xia Weiwei suggested buying a new dress, but Yang Nan said they needed to save money. He packed up all of Yang Nan's sister's old maternity clothes and pajamas for her to wear, saying that the money saved would be used to buy baby formula.

She compromised for the sake of her child.

That day, after her prenatal checkup, she felt thirsty and saw durians for sale at the fruit shop. For some reason, she suddenly had a strong craving for durians.

She wanted Yang Nan to buy it for her, but Yang Nan immediately said that durians were too expensive. He replied, "My dear wife, I'll definitely buy it for you when I have the money."

She now lives in a cramped rented room with Yang Nan, carefully managing their finances. Their daily food expenses cannot exceed 50 yuan, and they can only eat meat once a week. Moreover, when they eat meat, Yang Nan eats most of it, leaving her only some vegetables.

Xia Weiwei has cried before, her eyes have reddened before. Thinking back on the days she lived, she wonders what kind of life she is living now.

But she had already fallen out with her own family for this man. She was proud and concerned about her image. She had chosen the man herself, and no matter what, she would swallow her pride and not let anyone laugh at her.

What's more, they have children, and those children are their only weakness.

Even if Xia Weiwei were heartless, she couldn't bear to get a divorce, and she couldn't bear the thought of her child being born without a father.

She set aside her former pride, carried a large bag in one hand, and squeezed onto the subway back to her rented room.

My husband is about to be released from prison.

She planned to go to the nearby farmers' market in advance to buy some discounted vegetables and meats to cook a hearty dinner for Yang Nan when he returned home.

……

After meeting Xia Weiwei, it was almost lunchtime, so I took Lawyer Guo to a restaurant to meet Shen Xing.

Shen Xing changed into a glacier gray down jacket and arrived looking tall, thin, and aloof.

When he came, he brought a cup of winter milk tea for me and Attorney Guo, as well as some desserts.

I introduced myself: "Did you bring the contract? This is Attorney Guo; he can help us see if we can terminate the contract."

"Thank you, Attorney Guo."

Shen Xing took out a thick stack of printed contracts from his bag. It looked to be fifty or sixty pages long, and it was full of professional contract terminology.

Attorney Guo put the contract into his bag and told Shen Xing that he would look at it when he got back to the law firm and would contact him after he finished.

The three of us chatted while eating until Shen Xing suddenly told me, "Sis, actually, you know that rich woman too."

"Do I know him too?"

I was a little shocked.

"It's He Juan."

Shen Xing suddenly uttered those two words, and my mind went blank for a moment. It turned out to be my best friend Juan.

is her?

When did she get together with Shen Xing? She actually fell for Shen Xing.
