The Secret of Second Marriage

Dong Yili's face turned pale with anger, and her body trembled slightly. Now all eyes were on her, and she was now the one being publicly humiliated like a clown, speechless and embarrassed. She stammered, "It's...impossible...how could this be?"

President Jiang stood up for me with his domineering presence, saying, "You've wronged someone and damaged my girlfriend's reputation. You should at least give me an explanation."

Dong Yili, you've been relentlessly targeting my girlfriend time and time again. I used to turn a blind eye, but now, that's impossible.

Don't think I don't know who the sugar daddy is. I guarantee that after tonight's dinner, your backer won't be able to protect you anymore.

"President Jiang, I've just been under a lot of pressure lately. I didn't mean to. I might have been seeing things and mistaken them for high-quality fakes."

Can I apologize to Miss Jiang? Really?

We've all been through tough times. Don't let my current fame in the entertainment industry fool you; it's all thanks to working day and night when I was young. Sometimes when I was tired, I'd just lie down on a camp chair for a bit, then wake up and get back to work. There was always an iced Americano cup next to me... You have no idea how many all-nighters I've spent filming and how many cold showers I've taken to get where I am today.

Please, have mercy and forgive me this time, okay?

Dong Yili panicked completely.

She does have a powerful backer in the entertainment industry. That backer is a real estate tycoon who is quite wealthy. He used to invest in many of her films. However, in recent years, the real estate business has not been doing well, and her backer has become disgusted with her because she is old and unattractive. He is no longer willing to invest money or resources in her and has instead taken a younger, more alluring woman in the entertainment industry as his mistress.

She is currently making intensive plans to find a new sugar daddy, but if President Jiang exposes what happened today, those business tycoons will no longer touch a washed-up female star like her.

"Doesn't my girlfriend work hard? She's filming day and night. She almost got kidnapped while filming in the mountains. To get a role in a popular drama, she trained herself by doing wire work and action scenes, transforming herself into a leading lady. She's so cool and valiant when she fights, and she brought the beautiful spy to life."

And what about you? You try to ruin someone with just a few fabricated rumors. You deserve it!

Instead of paying attention to Dong Yili, President Jiang instructed his assistant to spread the word among business owners that Beijing's capital would blacklist Dong Yili in the future.

When I heard President Jiang give this message, I realized that my husband, whose status and wealth were extraordinary, had always been the same in front of me. He had never used his wealth and status to oppress me or make me do anything I didn't want to do.

This is what makes President Jiang so admirable.

Mrs. Wang brought a group of wealthy women over to congratulate me, saying, "Man, not bad at all! Your career is thriving, and your love life is thriving too. I always thought your ex-husband, Xue Fan, wasn't good enough for you."

He was short-sighted, his eyes full of calculation. He was a man who had climbed up from the countryside to the top, and once he had money, he couldn't wait to abandon his wife who had shared his hardships.

But this President Jiang seems different now; he genuinely cares about and cherishes her.

"Mrs. Wang, thank you! I'm still broken up with Mr. Jiang, and I don't know what the future holds."

I say.

Mrs. Wang patted my shoulder and said, "Man, you are much more confident now than before. No matter what, listen to your own heart. As someone who has been through it, I'll give you a piece of advice: choose a man with good character, not a man who loves you."

Every love that enters marriage has a shelf life; the so-called passion and novelty will disappear completely after two or three years at most.

So many couples who love each other walk down the aisle, only to end up divorcing...

In the end, what matters most in a marriage isn't whether the couple loves each other, but rather their character, sense of responsibility, and ability to care for others.

Do you understand?

"Understood, Mrs. Wang"

I nodded and said.

After the business engagement ended, President Jiang pulled me to the parking lot, hugged me, and, smelling the fragrance of my hair, said with a look of infatuation, "Man, let's make up."
