The Secret of Second Marriage

Thinking of Juan, thinking of those disheartening days when the two of us women went to bars together and drank ourselves into oblivion late into the night…

I've always felt that Juan is my best friend in the world.

But I never expected that she would have taken a liking to Shen Xing at some point.

I didn't even notice.

Juan is divorced and single. She has always been bolder than me and doesn't care about worldly opinions. She loves whoever she wants, regardless of the future, only caring about the immediate pleasure.

I asked Shen Xing, "Juan is my good friend, and I know her very well. She only makes a strong move when she's interested in a man. When did she start liking you?"

Or perhaps you seduced my best friend Juan without my knowledge.

Shen Xing, do you specifically target rich women? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment from seducing us rich women?

My first suspicion wasn't about my best friend Juan, but about the young man in front of me. Juan and I have been friends for decades. I know everything about her and she knows everything about mine. We've been best friends since college, and you could say we're the best of friends in the world.

A terrible thought popped into my head: if Juan really fell in love with Shen Xing, would our sisterhood come to an end because of a man?

No, probably not.

I told myself to stop overthinking.

Shen Xing's eyes were red, and her face showed pain. She remained silent for a long time before saying absentmindedly, "Man, you've wronged me. Do you think I, Shen Xing, am the kind of fickle, immoral pretty boy who seduces anyone, regardless of whether they're rich or not?"

you are wrong.

Don't forget that when I first fell for you, you were just a housewife, penniless, and abandoned by your husband.

"Man, if you don't believe me, go ask your best friend yourself."

I know that human nature is complex and multifaceted, but I have always believed that the sisterhood between Juan and me is genuine.

I want to talk to Juan and ask her what she really thinks.

Shen Xing remained silent for a long time, not touching any of the food on the table, clearly indicating that he had no appetite.

He finally looked at me, his expression complicated, and said, "Man, you should be careful. Your best friend is a very ambitious woman."

Do you know why I was tricked into signing this contract? It was because she said she was your friend, that's why I trusted her.

"Shen Xing, tell me honestly, how far have things progressed between you two? Who started seducing whom first?"

Juan is rich and has no shortage of guys around her. Why would she take the initiative to contact you? You two exchanged contact information privately; are you flirting with each other?

Even if you want me to abandon my sisterhood with Juan and confront her, you must tell me the truth, the honest truth.

I questioned him.

Shen Xing frankly said: "One day, at a dinner party in the entertainment industry, He Juan had a fever and took medicine, so she couldn't drink alcohol. Several bosses wanted to take advantage of her, saying that if she didn't drink, it would be disrespectful and the business deal would fall through."

I know that period was the most depressing time of her life. She had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius, her husband betrayed her and divorced her, but she still went out to socialize like a strong woman.

I couldn't bear it, so I drank bottle after bottle for her. I even played the piano at the dinner party to get the bosses' attention to me and stop making things difficult for He Juan.

After the dinner, He Juan said she had a fever, felt very sad and in pain, and had no one around to care for her. She wanted me to take her to the hospital to register.

I swear I only took pity on her because she's your friend, so I took a taxi to the hospital, got her some medicine, and then went to the late-night snack stall across from the hospital to buy her a bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge and brought it to her.

Nothing ever happened between us. After that incident, I was busy filming and didn't contact her once privately. Later, she asked me out to dinner and said that to thank me, she wanted to invest in my film.

I signed the agreement because I trusted her, but I never expected her to ask me to be her boyfriend and even want me to go with her to Sanya for the Chinese New Year!!!

I knew it; Juan must have truly fallen for him.

No wonder every time we talked on the phone, she would intentionally or unintentionally mention Shen Xing, and even advised me several times that if I chose President Jiang, I shouldn't have any more entanglement with Shen Xing. It turns out that Juan had fallen for Shen Xing.

I gave a wry smile and said, "Shen Xing, you really are a femme fatale. Juan is my best friend. What should I do?"
