The Secret of Second Marriage

Late at night, someone in our company was doing *that* in the conference room...

A man and a woman got into the fight, and I could hear the man's panting and the woman's voice.

Judging from the voices, they sound like the team leader from the HR department and the receptionist from our company.

The woman said, "Does President Jiang like Jiang Man? I really don't understand. There are so many beautiful and innocent girls born in the 00s in the company, why would he take a fancy to that married woman?"

The man said, "President Jiang, you've always had a secret."

They're all talking about a secret. What secret does President Jiang have?

A chill ran down my spine. For the first time, I felt that I couldn't see through the man in front of me at all.

Mr. Jiang and I were parched, and we could hear them squeezing in and fighting for more than half an hour.

President Jiang gave them plenty of face, and after we finished working overtime, he quietly took me away.

As I left the office building, I saw the Yufei Yoga Studio across the street; its bright signboard stung my eyes.

To be honest, seeing this scene filled me with more sadness than anger.

Mr. Jiang very gentlemanly escorted me, saying, "Would it be alright if you stayed at my place tonight?"

I glanced at him and refused.

I don't know why, but in President Jiang's eyes I saw the desire of a mature man, rather than the pure feelings between a man and a woman.

I said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for treating me to dinner today. I have other things to attend to, so I'll head back now."

"I send you!"

Mr. Jiang drove me home.

When I got home to my apartment building, I saw Shen Xing waiting for me at the door.

On winter nights, the temperature is only one or two degrees Celsius, which is quite cold.

His eyes reddened when he saw me get out of President Jiang's car.

I saw that Shen Xing looked completely bewildered.

I never expected this boy to be waiting for me at my doorstep. How did he know my address...?

I think he must have found out from my daughter, since he was her former tutor.

Shen Xing came over to greet me, and I sensed that he was a little out of control, like a wounded fawn.

He said with a hint of exasperation, "Sister, you've already suffered once in your marriage, why did you choose this smooth-talking, worldly older man? Do you want to suffer again?"

President Jiang shielded me behind him, appearing calm and composed, his face displaying a mature and steady demeanor: "Oh, what use is a young person like you who has just entered society, cynical and resentful? I can provide her with support, money, and even help her open a shop during her most difficult time."

What can you give her? True love, is it just talk? Kid.

A hurt expression appeared on Shen Xing's pure and handsome face.

He said, "I genuinely like you, sister."

"You two are not a good match."

President Jiang said, "Stay away from her from now on."

"What right do you have to talk to me like that?"

Shen Xing said, "I can guarantee that my feelings for her are genuine. Can you guarantee that?"

President Jiang no longer wanted to talk to him.

I said, "Stop arguing."

Shen Xing walked up to me with red eyes. Looking at me, I could sense his deep sadness and anger. His voice was filled with grievance as he questioned me, "Sister, who are you choosing?"

I didn't know how to answer his question.

I'm not in the mood to make any choices right now.

Mr. Jiang and I are just in a superior-subordinate relationship; I have no romantic feelings for him whatsoever.

As for Shen Xing, who wouldn't like such a gentle, handsome, talented young man?

But I still viewed our future too realistically and pessimistically.

Even if I agree to be with Shen Xing, what's the point? Will his parents, classmates, and relatives introduce him to a woman who is 10 years older than him, divorced, and has a child?

I said, "Shen Xing, thank you so much for liking me. I'm also very grateful that you stood up for me last time."

Shen Xing's gaze shifted from deep affection to final disappointment. Finally, he smiled and said, "Sister, this time, I won't bother you again."

When I saw his hurt expression, I felt sad for some reason.

Shen Xing is gone.

President Jiang suddenly felt much better.

He was wearing a black suit and tie today, and he looked very elegant.

I said, "It's late, Mr. Jiang, please go back."

Mr. Jiang took the gift box from the car, placed it in my hand, and said, "Goodnight."

"Good night"

I say.

I took the gifts upstairs, tidied up the room, and took out the two gold bracelets, one large and one small, that Shen Xing had given me.

President Jiang drove away.

I plan to find an opportunity to return these two gold bracelets to Shen Xing.

I couldn't sleep that night.

The next day, I was so angry that I went to Shen Xing's building early and waited for him to come out for class before returning the bracelet to him.

I said, "Let's part ways here."

Shen Xing suddenly stepped forward and hugged me tightly, saying, "Take it. I don't want to take back the gift I gave you. Sister, I know that in your eyes I'm just a child who hasn't grown up."

But in my own eyes, I am already a man who stands tall and upright.

You are the first woman I've ever loved in my life. Take good care of yourself.

"Thanks"

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Shen Xing was very tall. She touched my forehead and said to me, "Sister, you should divorce Uncle. He's not a good person."

He doesn't cherish you, actually. Every time I see you all alone and forlorn, my heart aches for you, and I want to protect you so much.

"Okay, thank you. I will divorce him. Take good care of yourself."

I returned the bracelets to him and then resolutely turned and left.

To be honest, I was smitten from the very first moment I saw him.

He's so gentle, so kind, and so handsome, like a cute puppy fresh out of college. He's pleasing to the eye, and being with him makes me feel like I'm back in my youth. It's wonderful.

But I knew in my heart that this was unrealistic, and this relationship was destined to have no future.

So I nipped him in the bud myself.

I got into a taxi to go to work, and as I looked at the scenery along the way, tears suddenly welled up in my eyes.

I want to free up my time to deal with the scumbag and the mistress.

When I arrived at the company building, I immediately saw that the yoga studio across the street had opened.

Yang Yufei, the mistress, hired several employees to hand out flyers.

She was dressed very beautifully, looking every bit the rich and beautiful woman, carrying an expensive bag. She walked up to me and sneered, "Sister, do you know? The money I used to open my yoga studio all came from your husband."

You've been with him for 10 years and gotten nothing in return. Don't you deserve it?

We'll see.

I know that the mistress is what angered me.

My heart is broken beyond repair...

When a woman is completely heartbroken over a man, that's when she gives up on the relationship. I thought about it, and there's nothing to miss about my husband, this scumbag.

I said, "I'll wait and see what happens to you."

I quietly turned on my phone and started recording.

The mistress chuckled: "I spend your husband's money, drive your husband's car, live in your husband's house, and run the shop your husband renovated for me. What can you do to me? I just love the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me!"

This mistress is completely treating other people's suffering as a trophy of her own personal victory.

They're so arrogant, stepping on other people's blood.

I truly underestimated the evil in human nature, and even more so, the wickedness of this mistress.

It was as if I had been reborn from shattered bones, wearing armor to protect myself, and I said with strength and courage: "Get out."

Then I turned around and left.

I pretended nothing was wrong, clocked in for work, and went to my office to continue working.

During my lunch break, I uploaded the recording of the mistress to my account. My sister-in-law was the first to like and comment, and immediately exclaimed, "I never imagined a mistress could be so disgusting!"

The comments below were all insults directed at the mistress.

My fan base has increased by another 10, and many netizens are asking me how things are going with my husband.

I replied to each of the messages from netizens.

Many netizens said they support me.

I was so moved by what I saw that I cried.

My biggest expectation now is waiting for the court hearing.

On the day of the court hearing, President Jiang gave me a bouquet of flowers, hoping that I would win.

I took leave and went to court with my lawyer, Xu.

This time, I wasn't as nervous as I was last time; instead, I felt more confident.

My husband brought his mistress to the event.

Before the court hearing, my husband actually said to me, "I don't love you anymore. This money is what I earned, and I can give it to whomever I want. Can you please stop making a scene?"

"Yufei is pregnant, and you insist on forcing her. Don't blame me for disregarding our last remaining marital bond."

"Do you still have any feelings for me as husband and wife?... Xue Fan, we've been married for 10 years. You want me to leave with nothing, you want to kick me and our daughter out of that house."

You ruined our marriage long ago. You disgusting man! The biggest regret of my life is wasting ten years of my youth on you.

As I spoke, my voice trembled, I gritted my teeth, and hatred welled up within me.

Back in school, I was the school beauty, and many boys pursued me, including some who were of good character, outstanding, and capable at work.

I just never imagined that after staying up all night for him, shedding tears, and giving birth to his child, I would be met with such heartless betrayal...

"What's done is done... there's no going back. Jiang Man, you won't get a single penny."

My husband said it cruelly.

The mistress saw me from the side, her eyes filled with a greedy desire to win.

In court, my husband and his mistress thought I couldn't produce any evidence, and that the case would be hastily concluded.

But unexpectedly, at a crucial moment, my lawyer provided my husband's bank transfer records for the house purchase, as well as some other particularly important evidence.
