The Secret of Second Marriage

He Juan was shocked when she heard Shen Xing's words. Then tears welled up in her eyes. She seemed to have been completely defeated by reality. She was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do about it. In the end, she sat limply on the hotel chair without saying a word.

She has always been a strong woman, and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

But this time, she lost to Shen Xing.

Since her divorce, she has lived a carefree life, dating many men, including male secretaries, fitness coaches, and male celebrities.

She always believed that money was everything, and that as long as she was willing to spend money on men, there would always be men who would fall at her feet. But Shen Xing was an exception.

Shen Xing is a very clean-cut boy.

When I heard Shen Xing's confession and affection for me, I felt a surge of excitement for a moment. I fantasized in my mind: if I really let go of all my guard, all the realities, all the pros and cons, and be with Shen Xing regardless of everything, would I find happiness?

Will our relationship, with a 10-year age gap, be able to lead to marriage?

I felt like I was starting to fall for him, but then I got a call from my agent.

My agent, Sister Qiong, unusually lost her temper with me on the phone: "Man, you are a key artist that our agency is focusing on developing. Our plan for you is to hone your acting skills step by step and get good scripts."

We hope you can become a film queen and a television icon. A true leading lady in the entertainment industry, capable of carrying the film, winning awards, and walking the international red carpet…

Honestly, after working in the entertainment industry for so many years, this is the first time I've met you, and I feel that you have the potential to become a huge star.

But you're aiming to be a respected, established actress in your mid-career, so why are you dating a popular male celebrity...? Do you even know?

Paparazzi have taken photos of you and Shen Xing going to a hotel late at night, and they've sold them to the media for a high price to expose them.

The entire entertainment industry is in an uproar.

Shen Xing is the most popular celebrity in the past two years, with tens of millions of fans... This morning I received news that his fans are furious and are cyberbullying you at all costs!

I understand. Your foundation in the entertainment industry is not yet very stable. Once you are entangled in these negative news and scandals, it is very likely to affect your career and future.

You must sever ties with Shen Xing as soon as possible, otherwise I might not be able to protect you!

"Okay, I understand, sis."

After hearing this long string of explosive news, I hung up the phone.

Shen Xing noticed my pale face and asked me what had happened.

I said, "Nothing happened..."

My eyes darted away, avoiding Shen Xing's gaze. After two or three minutes, I made up my mind. My career was the most important thing. No matter what kind of man he was, whether he was a CEO or a young, handsome man, no one could stop me from pursuing my career.

I looked at Juan, whose hair was disheveled, and said, "We're best friends, let's part ways amicably. But Shen Xing is innocent. Since he's unwilling to sell his body and soul to make a deal with you..."

Then you can cancel this contract. He Juan, I've come to know you're not a completely bad woman... right?

"So what if I'm bad?"

He Juan lit a cigarette, her red lips peeking out, the aroma a blend of nicotine and rose scents.

With her legs crossed and her fingers tucked between them, she spoke with the confidence and charisma of a successful businesswoman: "In the world of business, if you're not ruthless, you'll be devoured by others long ago."

Anyway, I'm not exactly a good woman. Let's talk about Shen Xing's matter with my lawyer.

After she finished speaking, she walked away gracefully.

However, what made her particularly generous was that when she left the restaurant, she told the waiter that there had been a fight inside and many dishes had been damaged, and that all the compensation would be charged to her card, which seemed to amount to more than 7 yuan.

As I drove Shen Xing away, I suddenly felt a pain in one of my fingers. I hadn't noticed it because I was hitting her so hard earlier, but I realized it now. I had pulled Juan's hair, and Juan was afraid I would pull all her hair out, so she tried her best to pry my hand open, breaking my finger in the process.

I contacted Attorney Guo and told him that He Juan was unwilling to sit down and negotiate the termination of the contract. Now we may have to prepare for the worst and have to go to court to terminate the contract.

Attorney Guo, quick-witted as ever, said he'd heard we'd had a fight and asked me, "Ms. Jiang, how are you? Are you hurt?"

"I'm okay, but it seems like the bone in my finger is slightly fractured."

I say.

Attorney Guo said, "Then you should stand there and not move. Go to the police station to get a medical examination. I think that entrepreneurs and social celebrities like He Juan care most about their reputation and will definitely not go to court. Only by finding her weakness can we sit down and negotiate fairly."
