The Secret of Second Marriage

Juan seemed a little surprised to hear my call. A surge of jealousy and anger flashed through her mind. She said with dissatisfaction, "Man, didn't you already know whether I went to Sanya or not? Why are you asking when you already know the answer?"

I bet that little boy has gone to find you by now, right?

"Man, you win. If you came here to provoke me and slap me in the face, then don't blame me for hanging up. There's nothing more to say between us."

"Juan, you used to be my best friend. I don't know how we ended up like this."

Is it all just for a man? It's not worth it. Shall we sit down and talk?

I softened my tone and asked to meet with Juan to talk.

Juan paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Man, what is it about you that makes you so charming? It seems like you're even better than me after the divorce."

I feel empty, sad, and it's unfair. My two children are studying abroad and have nannies to help take care of them every day. My ex-husband and his mistress insist on borrowing money to start a company, planning to make a comeback, but they haven't earned any money at all in a year. Instead, they've degraded themselves into being deadbeats!

Man, do you know what? My husband used to be the president of a brilliant private company, worth over 100 million yuan. Now he runs a company that loses money, and he and that bitch are eating meager meals. The two of them are even selling sausages at a street stall to pay off their debts!

I'm middle-aged now, and I seem to have money, but my husband of almost 20 years has cheated on me, our family is broken, and I'm a laughingstock. I'm actually quite resentful!

"Juan, don't get agitated. Listen to me. Let's sit down and talk at noon. I want to hear your honest opinion. I want to know if our sisterhood can continue?"

I say.

I might not go.

He Juan seemed unsure whether to agree to my request before hanging up the phone.

Deep down, I still can't bear to part with the friendship I've shared with Juan over the years.

After thinking about it, I asked the driver to take us to the Yunnan restaurant after Shen Xing changed her clothes and came downstairs. The restaurant was located in a courtyard with many private rooms. It was very crowded at lunchtime, and the parking lot was full.

I finally managed to find a car and park it. By the time I arrived with Shen Xing, it was almost noon.

The 110 private room I booked was completely empty.

Shen Xing said, "Man, she probably doesn't know how to face you, so she probably won't come."

No, she will come.

I say.

After a while, He Juan's car drove into the courtyard of the private restaurant. Because He Juan's family background was particularly powerful, the owner specially gave Juan a private parking space.

Juan was dressed smartly, wearing a light purple long dress with a white fur coat over it, and a pearl necklace. Her hair was styled in a slightly curled way, somewhat resembling the character of the eldest sister-in-law in "The Storm".

She walked over, took off her coat, and said, looking travel-worn, "Waiter, bring the wine. Red wine today."

"Okay, miss, which brand of red wine would you like to drink?"

The waiter came over respectfully to take our order.

He Juan ordered a bottle of red wine worth 10 yuan, and then ordered a table full of dishes, all of which were Yunnan dishes that were relatively simple and spicy, with a refreshing taste.

Juan's favorite dish is the fruit vinegar fish. It's very fragrant and sweet, with the tenderness of the fish, and it melts in your mouth. It's the restaurant's signature dish.

After the waiter served the dishes, he closed the door to the private room. Now, only the three of us, a table full of food, and a glass of red wine remained in the room.

He Juan suddenly said to me, "Man, I lost this game. I think from the moment I met you, we were about the same in looks, my family was richer than yours, and I lived a more carefree and unrestrained life than you."

But why does he like you and not me?
