The Secret of Second Marriage

"Enough! You never care whether I'm doing well or not. You only care about money and my brother. If you don't love me, why did you bring me into this world?"

A sharp pain shot through my heart.

My mother angrily slammed a cup on the table and said, "I raised you with so much hardship, and you give some money to your brother? How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless? Instead of thinking about repaying our kindness, you're always trying to spite us!"

Just as my daughter and I were arguing fiercely, I cried uncontrollably.

The door opened, and there was Shen Xing.

He arrived at some unknown time, and must have overheard my conversation with my mother.

He glanced at me as he entered, then strode in, hugged me tightly, and said, "Sister Man, don't cry. I'm here for you."

"who is he?"

My mom suddenly rushed over, intending to slap me hard: "Are you having an affair with him? Xue Fan doesn't want you anymore. I don't have a daughter as disgraceful as you!"

But Shen Xing held me tightly in his arms, preventing my mother from hitting me. My mother slapped him hard and yelled, "Why did you seduce my daughter?"

"Auntie! I didn't seduce Sister Man. We have absolutely no relationship. Please don't misunderstand."

Shen Xing took a deep breath and spoke.

He said, "Auntie, do you know that Sister Man was in a car accident and stayed in the hospital for a week?"

Do you know that her husband hasn't been home every night for the past few years, instead spending his time with his mistress?

Do you even know how much suffering Sister Man has endured? She's a woman raising a child alone, and instead of caring for her, you only think about asking her for money. Do you even deserve to be a mother?

My mother was stunned, but she still stubbornly insisted: "My child is mine, I can educate him however I want, it's none of your business."

I was really heartbroken at the time.

This is my family of origin. When I encounter difficulties, they never think of helping me out. Instead, they wish they could kick me when I'm down and mock me.

I said, "Mom, I've given you and my brother enough over the years. I don't have any money left now."

I'll take care of Niu Niu myself. You should go back to your hometown. Our mother-daughter relationship ends here.

It wasn't until I had my own daughter that I realized my parents had never loved me.

My mom was so angry that she said, "Fine, you've grown up, you're all grown up and successful now, and you don't care about your mother anymore? I'm leaving right now, and you'd better not beg me one day!"

After saying this, she took her suitcase and left without looking back.

This time I didn't try to stop her.

I called a taxi for her to take my mom to the airport, bought her a plane ticket, and told her to go back that afternoon.

My mother probably couldn't bear to part with her grandson and my brother, so she didn't really want to stay with me any longer. Plus, she felt that I was divorced with a child and hadn't gotten any property, so she figured she wouldn't get much out of me and went back home.

Life is a long journey, and I'm probably at the lowest point in my life right now. In my despair, my husband was seduced away by another woman.

My parents treat me like dirt; they don't love me at all.

I know I can only rely on myself now.

I asked Shen Xing, "Why did you come?"

Shen Xing said, "I saw the video you posted on Douyin. Someone was sneaking around watching you in the middle of the night. I was worried about your safety living alone, so I came to check on you."

His eyes were still so clear and warm. He was over 1.8 meters tall, with delicate and handsome features, fair skin, abs from regular exercise, and exceptional musical talent.

I said, "Thank you."

I want to invite him to dinner.

Shen Xing's attitude towards me became more polite.

He said, "No need, sis. We're on finals break. I'm going home tonight. I'll be doing an internship next semester and won't be going back to school."

I probably won't come to see you again. Take good care of yourself.

"The same to you"

Looking at this young and handsome boy, I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance to part with him.

I suddenly said, "What time is your train ticket? I'll take you to the station."

Shen Xing gave me a deep look and said, "The train ticket for midnight, sis."

Who wouldn't like such a young, clean-cut, handsome, and warm-hearted boy?

In the afternoon, I accompanied him for a walk around the university town. He had already packed his luggage and was preparing to move out of the apartment.

The wintersweet flowers in the school are in bloom, and the students are gradually starting their holidays.

The campus was rather deserted in winter.

That evening, Shen Xing treated me to dinner at a hot pot restaurant in an alley in the university town.

We were having dinner when we suddenly received a call from President Jiang.

He recently went on a business trip and asked me, "How was it?"

I said, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright. Mr. Jiang, you don't need to worry."

I don't know why I always act so polite in front of President Jiang.

Maybe it's because I'm his employee?

Mr. Jiang said, "I missed you. I brought you a gift when I got back from my business trip."

"Okay, sure."

My feelings for President Jiang are indifferent; it's really not love.

And to this day, I still can't understand why President Jiang would fall for me. It's a mystery to me.

I always felt that he had many secrets.

Shen Xing is different. He is not the kind of middle-aged man with deep scheming, but a simple, aloof, and handsome boy who is not slick or worldly at all.

He didn't smell of cigarettes or alcohol, nor did he have a beer belly; he lacked the scheming and backstabbing of adults.

I feel very relaxed when I'm with him.

After we finished eating hot pot together, we strolled along the street near the school gate.

Shen Xing took me to a beautifully decorated gift shop and bought me a lot of gifts: hats, scarves, hair clips, fluffy earmuffs, and a huge rabbit plush toy.

None of these items are expensive; the total cost is only a little over 1000 yuan.

But he was very careful in choosing, and I felt that every item he picked was exactly what I wanted.

My favorite is that huge plush toy.

That doll is almost taller than me.

Shen Xing said, "Sister, this rose hair clip suits you very well."

He personally put the rose hair clip in my hair, his eyes revealing his appreciation.

My long black hair paired with a rose-colored hair clip makes me look mature and charming, like a glass of red wine, exuding a captivating beauty.

That evening, he used his ID card to book a hotel near the university town entrance.

It's called Garden Hotel, and it's located in a garden next to the university town. There are many beautiful hydrangea trees at the entrance, and rose vines are climbing on the wall. It must be very beautiful in the summer, but unfortunately, now in winter, all you can see are bare branches.

The garden is decorated in a particularly beautiful and romantic way.

When we checked into the hotel, I said I wanted to pay.

Shen Xing said, "I'm a man, I won't let myself spend money."

He took my hand and led me into the hotel room.

The hotel room was large; he booked the most expensive room, which cost over 500 yuan for one night. The room had red sheets and blankets, and there was a small balcony visible through the window.

Shen Xing placed the suitcase on the carpet, picked me up in one swift motion, and said, "Sister Man, I love you so much!"
