The Secret of Second Marriage

After admiring the plum blossoms at Jiangda University, President Jiang told me some good news.

He said, "Man, a friend of mine is filming a short drama. You know, the short drama market is really hot this year. I read the script and it's pretty good. It's called 'The Wife's Revenge.' I'll recommend you for an audition after the Spring Festival."

Here is the director's contact information. Are you interested?

"have"

I nodded.

Mr. Jiang and I took our daughter to the amusement park in the afternoon and played there until after 7 p.m. before we went to see a movie.

My daughter keeps saying there's a new movie called "Zootopia 2" that was released recently. She says all her classmates are watching it and wants me to take her to see it.

I said to President Jiang, "President Jiang, I'm taking my daughter to see a movie. If you get bored, you can go back first..."

"Need not"

President Jiang was dressed in a suit with a black down jacket, looking sophisticated and handsome.

He said, "Man, I want to spend time with you today."

The three of us bought tickets and went to the movie theater. The ticket seller said to us, "Box number 4, sir and madam, please be careful with your child."

After finding seats in the movie theater, my daughter sat between me and Mr. Jiang. The moment the movie screen went dark, a hand gently grasped my hand from behind my daughter.

I felt my hand being tightly covered by a large hand, and it didn't loosen its grip on my fingers until the movie ended.

I watched the movie with President Jiang, blushing.

After the movie, President Jiang drove my daughter and me home.

He said: "Those who have abandoned me, yesterday's days cannot be retained; those who trouble my heart, today's days are full of worries. Drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more; raising a cup to dispel sorrow only makes it more sorrowful. Life in this world is full of disappointments; tomorrow I will let my hair down and drift away in a small boat."

Don't think about it anymore. Look ahead, I'll always be with you.

"President Jiang, thank you very much."

My eyes are a little red.

He suddenly reached out and wiped away my tears, his voice gentle and magnetic: "Man, as long as you are strong enough inside, you will get through whatever difficulties you encounter."

"Okay, good night. Go home early and be careful."

I say.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Jiang downstairs, I turned on my phone after returning home.

My daughter asked me, "Mom, do you like Uncle Jiang?"

I blushed and said, "Honey, Mommy and Uncle Jiang are just friends right now."

"But Uncle Jiang is much more patient with Mom than Dad is. And during meals, Uncle Jiang would put food on Mom's plate and watch movies with her. She had a lot of fun today."

My daughter said.

"Sweetie, let's go upstairs."

I smiled, took my daughter's hand, and went upstairs.

When we got home, I gave my daughter a bath, read her a fairy tale, and put her to bed.

Only after my daughter fell asleep did I have time to turn on my phone and check the messages.

My mom called me dozens of times and sent me a lot of text messages cursing me, basically saying that I've become too independent and don't appreciate my parents' kindness.

He even threatened me, saying that if I came back this year, he would pretend I didn't have his parents, and that if I died out there, I shouldn't come back.

It pained me to see this.

I don't know why my parents have never liked me since I was a child.

I've always longed for family affection, but all I've received are heartless accusations and insults...

I only realized after I became a mother that my parents didn't love me at all.

Just as I was about to turn off my phone, my mom sent me one last WeChat message, which she quickly deleted, but I still saw it.

Her message was, "If I'd known, I shouldn't have picked you up in the first place!" Was I adopted?

I immediately called my mom and asked, "Mom, what did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean I was adopted? Who are my biological parents?"

"You ungrateful wretch, now that you're grown up, you want to find your biological parents. Let me tell you, if I hadn't taken you in, you would have frozen to death outside in the snow long ago."

My mom said angrily.

I was struck dumb, my mind reeling and buzzing. It took me a long time to ask, "Mom, are you serious? Or are you joking?"

After my mom realized I was serious, she suddenly panicked a little.

She said, "What do you mean 'picked up'? You're my own child. I was just so angry that I made up a lie to you. I was just upset that you didn't come back to your parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Even if you didn't come back, you should at least have sent me a red envelope."

"You should send back the red envelopes your nephews and nieces received for the New Year, the money they spent on new clothes, and the New Year's gifts your brother and sister-in-law bought."

I dismissed my doubts because my mother always lied to me when I was a child, saying that I was adopted.

I said, "I'll only send you and Dad a 1000 yuan red envelope, I don't care about anything else. I don't have that much power to manage so many people."

Besides, I'm currently discussing a divorce with my husband and moving out with the child. How much money do you expect a woman with a child to give you?

"I think you're just stupid. It's not a big deal if a man cheats. Besides, as long as he earns money for the family, you can turn a blind eye, so what?"

The older generation all went through this, unlike you who are so willful, saying you want a divorce and then doing it. How am I supposed to put my face as a mother?

Xue Fan called me this morning and said that the person you were seeing outside, I heard, is your ex-boss, Jiang Man. How can you be so shameless? Break off your relationship with your boss immediately and go back to your family. Did you hear me?

My mom was yelling at me from over there.

I felt a sudden panic and dizziness. From childhood to adulthood, I've always been forced to do things I don't like.

I suddenly remembered what President Jiang told me: I have grown up and am now capable of choosing the life I want.

I took a deep breath, then another, and said, "Mom, it's none of your business how I live. I chose this path myself. My marriage to Xue Fan is over. Even if I starve to death begging, I'd rather beg at your doorstep!"

"you!!!"

My mom was furious and yelling.

I hung up the phone immediately.

I suddenly realized that women's economic independence is an extremely important thing.

Whether I encounter a bad in-law family or a bad family of origin, as long as I can earn my own money and have the confidence to give myself a home, no one can bully me anymore.

Remembering my parents' years of nurturing kindness, I didn't go too far. After hanging up the phone, I sent each of my parents a 1000 yuan red envelope and also selected some gifts online, writing the address as my hometown.

I was busy until midnight before I went to sleep. Before falling asleep, I suddenly remembered something and took out the business card that President Jiang had given me from my bag. It was a business card of a very famous short drama, and the female director's name was Song Zhiwei.

I tried adding the director's business card, but I didn't have high hopes.

I guessed that such a famous director wouldn't add strangers on WeChat, but to my surprise, he accepted the request instantly.

The director said, "You are President Jiang's friend."

"Um"

I nodded.

The director said, "President Jiang showed me your photos; you're very beautiful. I heard you have over 40 followers on Douyin. We're currently casting for our short drama, and we'll start filming on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Come to the set then, and we can meet and chat."

"it is good"

My heart was pounding. I replied with one word, then said goodnight to the director, who also replied with goodnight.

Late at night, I lay in bed holding my daughter, feeling a renewed sense of hope deep within me.

I was abandoned by my husband and humiliated by his mistress; I felt like dying.

Even a dog, after 10 years of marriage, will develop feelings for its owner.

I am a housewife with a daughter, and my future seems bleak.

But now, really, after making up my mind to get a divorce, I realized that I'm only around 30 years old, which is the prime of my life. Why should I entrust my life to a man who doesn't love me at all?

I swear from now on I will only live for myself.

……

During the Spring Festival, my daughter and I happily stayed at home for a week.

I've blocked my husband and his mistress from my WeChat Moments for a while now because I don't want these two scoundrels to disturb my mood.

There's nothing shameful about getting a divorce, and there's nothing shameful about my husband cheating on me, since I'm not the one in the wrong anyway.

But to my surprise, even though I didn't provoke them, Yang Yufei kept provoking me.

She sent me a private message with photos of her and my husband's trip.

Last time they went to Sanya, and this time it seems they went to Hong Kong. They visited many attractions, saw the Hong Kong night view, and bought a lot of luxury goods, designer bags, clothes, shoes, and other items.

My sister-in-law also saw the mistress's WeChat Moments and called me, saying, "Sister-in-law, this mistress is disgusting. Last time, she instigated the old woman to come to your door and attack you. The old woman is still spending the New Year in jail."

She didn't even glance at the old woman when she went to visit her. Instead, she took your husband to Hong Kong to shop, buying many designer bags, clothes, and shoes. I heard she plans to give birth there so the baby will have a local household registration, making it easier for the child to go to school in the future.

Oh, they're looking at houses over there. Sister-in-law, you need to be careful that the slut doesn't take all the money.
