The Secret of Second Marriage

After I finished speaking, I saw my guest out.

Xue Fan's expression shifted between light and dark. He actually said, "Jiang Man, I know you've hooked up with President Jiang and look down on me, your husband."

Don't forget, you're just a housewife. President Jiang is just playing around with you. Will he marry you? Stop daydreaming.

Also, if you refuse to let my mother off the hook today and insist that she spend the New Year in jail, I will remember you.

I will never give you or our daughter a single penny in child support. Even if you're abandoned by President Jiang one day and beg me on your knees, crying, I won't even give a second glance to a woman like you!

I looked at the man in front of me.

He was still impeccably dressed, successful in his career, and had a cool and handsome appearance.

But his actions have made me give up on my illusions...

I finally snapped: "Xue Fan, I can raise the child on my own without you."

As for whether the child in the other woman's belly is yours or not.

You'll regret it someday.

But I kept those words to myself and didn't say them aloud.

At that moment, I came up with a brilliant revenge plan.

I hired a private investigator to take photos of my mistress, Yang Yufei, and my first love, my senior, checking into a hotel together. I wanted to organize these photos so that after I divorced Xue Fan, he would marry my mistress and be at the peak of his life.

I announced this at their wedding, wishing my husband a bright green hat.

Yang Yufei is obsessed with looks.

When she was studying at the arts school, she had a boyfriend who was incredibly handsome. He's currently filming short videos in Hengdian and is rumored to be a minor actor in a low-budget short drama. After gaining some fame, Yang Yufei has started dating her ex again.

This woman is greedy.

She wants her first love, and she wants a rich older man; sooner or later she'll reap what she sows.

Xue Fan looked into my eyes and said one last thing: "Just don't regret it..."

He never asked to see his daughter, and then turned and left.

During the time I moved out with my daughter, he never asked about her, never bought her a single piece of clothing, and didn't even want to visit her.

He was such a heartless man.

My husband only cares about his family of origin, his parents, his brother, his nephew, and now there's also a mistress and her unborn child.

He never cared about me or our daughter.

I've had enough of a man like that.

President Jiang sat at the desk in his study, and with a flourish of his brush, wrote a couplet. His handwriting was excellent; he must have practiced calligraphy since childhood.

I complimented him on his beautiful handwriting.

He said his maternal grandfather was a university teacher, and he practiced calligraphy with his grandfather since he was a child.

I envy his family's educational environment.

Mr. Jiang and I put up the couplets at the entrance.

At noon, I prepared a meal and invited President Jiang to lunch.

Mr. Jiang was very busy. After finishing the meal, he left two red envelopes for my daughter and me, told us to take care of ourselves, and then drove away.

My daughter asked me, "Mom, Uncle Jiang seems to be very nice to you. Do you like him?"

I said, "You are the person Mom loves most."

Aunt Tao went home for the Spring Festival, so I gave her a month's salary and a 3000 yuan red envelope.

Aunt Tao said she would come back to work with me after the New Year.

I felt lonely at home with only my daughter and me. After I finished eating, I went to the pet store before it closed and bought a puppy. It was a wolfhound.

I want to raise it to protect me and my daughter in the future.

This is the first time I haven't spent Chinese New Year with my in-laws, but I feel relieved.

On New Year's Eve, my husband posted a picture on his WeChat Moments of him accompanying his mistress to her parents' house for a reunion dinner, with the caption: "This is our first reunion New Year's Eve since we got together. I hope that every year from now on, you will be the one by my side."

This is his blatant display of affection with his mistress.

The city was brightly lit on New Year's Eve.

After my daughter went to sleep, I couldn't sleep alone, so I secretly left home, sat in my car downstairs for a while, and then drove to the riverside for a drive.

I bought a bottle of beer, sat by the cold river, and looked at the scenery.

The wind blew into my eyes and also blew away my tears.

In short, I feel terrible right now.

I quickly took a sip of beer; I was the only one left on the entire street who was getting beer.

Suddenly, someone handed me a tissue.

I turned my head and saw Shen Xing.

He's still so handsome and youthful, just like Lu Han when he first debuted—a particularly dashing young man.

He was wearing a black down jacket, a white scarf, and a white hat. His two big black eyes were as cute as a deer's, and his skin was very fair. He really looked like a puppy.

Afraid he'd laugh at me, I gave a self-deprecating laugh: "The wind blew sand into my eyes, and they're uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I hope you didn't find it funny."

He gave me a friendly smile, sat down next to me, and said, "Man, I'm the one who should apologize. I left after we had a late-night argument last time."

I've missed you a lot lately, but I've managed to refrain from contacting you.

I've seen a lot of news about you online. I know about your injury.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to help you much lately.

"It's okay, it's all in the past."

I asked him, "Didn't you go back to your hometown? How come you suddenly appeared here, and what a coincidence that you didn't go to be with your family, but instead met by the river late at night?"

Shen Xing suddenly said to me happily, "Man, I heard from Niu Niu that you moved out and have been very sad lately. I was worried about you, so I came to see you today."

Oh, by the way. Man, I interviewed at a media company and am now working as a live-streaming e-commerce host. I have a salary now, so I can support you and Niu Niu.

Do your parents know?

I suddenly asked a question.

Shen Xing said, "My parents want me to go back to my hometown and take the civil service exam in the county town. But there's someone I like in this city, and I don't want to go back."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to think about any relationship issues right now. I just want to focus on my lawsuit against my husband and his mistress."

I say.

For a fleeting moment, I was moved...

But more often than not, people feel it's unrealistic.

Shen Xing is so young. He's only in his early twenties, a recent college graduate with a bright and youthful future ahead of him. He could meet a girl his own age.

There was some disappointment in Shen Xing's eyes.

He traveled a long way to visit me on New Year's Eve to express his feelings and his hope to be with me.

But I rejected him.

I think he already thinks I'm cold-blooded and heartless.

I sighed and said, "It's late, I should go home."

I originally just wanted to get some fresh air and clear my head, and now I feel much better. But I'm worried about leaving my daughter home alone, so I still need to go back.

Shen Xing suddenly mustered up her courage, hugged me, kissed me on the cheek, and said four times, "Happy New Year!"
