The Secret of Second Marriage

I went to the film company and met with the director and his team.

Director Zhang gave me a brief overview of how the market for short dramas is booming right now, with shows like "After a Flash Marriage, the President's Wife's Secret Identity Can't Be Hidden Anymore" and "Peerless" having over ten million views.

This traditional film and television company also plans to start producing short dramas.

The drama I'm filming, "The Wife's Revenge," is based on a realistic story, and it's expected to win an award.

She told me not to rush, to take the script home and read it first, and to lose at least 20 pounds so that I would look better on camera.

After chatting with Director Zhang, as I walked out of their film company, I suddenly made a bold decision: I wanted to find a teacher again to learn acting, dance, and physical fitness.

When President Jiang found out about me, he was on a business trip and attending a meeting out of town. He sent me a WeChat message saying, "Man, you're amazing," along with a thumbs-up emoji.

It warmed my heart when I saw it.

Two days later, Attorney Xu called me to say that the court hearing was scheduled.

One is my divorce case with my husband, and the other is a lawsuit filed by my husband and his mistress against me for violating their privacy rights.

The first case they filed was a lawsuit for violating privacy rights.

The streets were unusually quiet in the winter morning.

The biting wind stung my face. Wearing a scarf, coat, and boots, and carrying a bag, I walked into the courtroom with my lawyer, looking very serious.

I saw my husband and his mistress at the courthouse entrance.

"stop"

Yang Yufei, the mistress, called me over.

She was pregnant, but her belly wasn't very noticeable even though she was over three months along. She was dressed in designer clothes and had no makeup on, but you could still tell she was a pretty girl.

I stood still, looking at their hands clasped tightly together.

I said to my husband, "Aren't you ashamed to bring a chicken out in broad daylight and parade around like that?"

My husband's face turned red instantly, and he said to me, "Jiang Man, don't say such rude things."

Yang Yufei sneered and said, "Old woman, you're just a sour grapes. Mr. Xue loves me. He'd rather have an affair with me every day than come home and touch you."

We talked about life, dreams, sex, and you, this "old hag," this "yellow-faced woman"... You're the real loser in this relationship!

"Shameless!"

My heart was pounding with anger, I could hardly breathe, and I raised my hand, wanting to go forward and hit the mistress.

The mistress snuggled into my husband's arms, smiling brightly, her voice laced with provocation, and said, "Jiang Man, I'm pregnant with his child. I think you'd better go easy on me. If you hurt the baby in my belly, Mr. Xue won't let you off the hook..."

"Nausea"

I only said two words: "Go to court with my lawyer."

Our privacy case was very simple; both lawyers presented the facts.

Attorney Xu said, "Yang Yufei, as a third party, destroyed the relationship between other people's husbands, which is an immoral act. Moreover, she is pregnant with my client's husband's child."

Our client exposed the man's relationship with Ms. Yang on the platform simply because she had been suppressing her feelings for too long in this torturous relationship and wanted to vent. Otherwise, she might have already become depressed.

The lawyer my husband hired was incredibly shameless. He actually said, "She's just a housewife, incapable of holding onto her husband's heart, so she exposes these scandals on the platform. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at?"

Regardless of what my client did wrong, one thing is certain: the defendant violated my client's and Ms. Wang's rights to privacy and reputation.

We demand an apology and 10 yuan in compensation for emotional distress.

Yang Yufei, standing nearby, said somewhat unhappily, "President Xue, she's ruined our reputation. Many of my relatives, friends, and classmates have seen the videos she posted. She's deliberately trying to ruin our reputation."

10 yuan is too little; she should at least pay 100 million yuan in compensation.

My husband said, "Alright, she's just a housewife, where would she get a million?"

"They didn't borrow money, they took out a loan."

Yang Yufei kicked him when he was down.

This mistress seduced my husband and ruined my marriage. I'm so grateful that I haven't fought her to the death!

She even sued me along with my husband.

I clenched my fingers in anger.

My lawyer, enraged, jumped to his feet, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "Xue Fan, Yang Yufei, are you even human? You've bullied my client to this extent; even God is watching! Aren't you afraid of retribution?!"

My husband's lawyer said, "The law is fair and has the right to protect the privacy of every client. Ms. Jiang published information about my client's private life on a public platform, which has had a very serious impact on my client's work and life."

We have the right to file a reasonable claim with the court, requesting Ms. Jiang to remove the negative information about our client and Ms. Yang, cease spreading negativity, and pay 10 yuan in compensation for emotional distress.

My face was completely bloodless.

Honestly, it's the most ironic thing in the world for a woman to be bullied like this by her husband and his mistress.

Seeing my reaction, Yang Yufei revealed a hint of smugness: "Jiang Man, considering how many years of hardship you and President Xue have endured together, President Xue and I have discussed it and will only ask you to pay 10 yuan. Otherwise, based on those videos you posted online that defame my character and President Xue's character, we will definitely sue you and make you go to jail."

"It's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's all up to no good!"

Attorney Xu said angrily, "Which word of my client's has ever defamed you? Aren't you two having an affair? Didn't the plaintiff commit adultery? Didn't you go to the plaintiff's house to provoke her?"

Furthermore, the videos posted by my client contain only authentic information and there is no fabrication involved. You want to sue my client and send him to jail? Do you think the court will support that? That's laughable!

In all my years as a defense attorney, I've never encountered anything as extreme as yours. The husband and his mistress teamed up to sue the wife!

Xue Fan is nothing but a scumbag in a respectable appearance. No matter how high his education level is or how conscientious and responsible he is at work, it does not change the fact that he is not a qualified husband.

A tear rolled down my cheek, and I gave up on this man completely.

I regained my composure, a cold glint in my eyes.

Yang Yufei is scheming to steal my husband and climb to the top. Since that's the case, I'll play along.

The cold, hard facts and harsh reality tell me that the person I share a bed with is a treacherous and vicious wolf.

The only thing worth surviving is that it was only then that I truly saw his true colors.

I forced a desolate smile: "Xue Fan, you're ruthless enough!"

Xue Fan's expression remained unchanged throughout the entire conversation.

He said, "Jiang Man, you've tested my patience time and time again. You shouldn't have aired your dirty laundry online; you want to ruin my reputation. Do you expect me to still care about our marital relationship?"

"Okay, okay, Xue Fan, you're always right. I hope you won't regret it."

I gave a cold laugh.

My husband is the kind of person who is always self-righteous and will never admit his own mistakes.

My husband and I went to court, and at this moment, our years of relationship finally came to a complete breakdown.

The judge ultimately ruled that I should remove the videos about my husband and his mistress and issue a public apology within 15 days. As for compensation for emotional distress, there was no reasonable basis for it and it was not supported.

My lawyer requested the judge to add a sentence to the judgment: "Because Xue Fan cheated on my client with a mistress and, together with the mistress, sued my client, the marital relationship between my client and the defendant has broken down. Please include this in the judgment!"

The judge upheld my lawyer's advice.

After leaving the courtroom, the sun was still shining brightly outside, but I couldn't feel any warmth at all.

Attorney Xu and I walked to the courthouse parking lot, ready to drive away.

As we walked, Attorney Xu comforted me, saying, "Ms. Jiang, don't be discouraged! This court hearing isn't all bad news. At least the judgment clearly states the whole story, and the court also acknowledges that there has been a breakdown in your marital relationship."

Next, we'll proceed with the divorce proceedings; we should have a very good chance of winning.

"Thank you, Attorney Xu."

I say.

My husband and I have come to this point, and I have no lingering feelings for him anymore.

I was once very reluctant to get a divorce, reluctant to give up the family I had worked so hard to build.

But seeing him being all lovey-dovey with his mistress, I suddenly felt a renewed fighting spirit. I was determined to fight my scumbag husband to the very end, even if it meant going to court after court.

I was talking to my lawyer when suddenly a red Maserati came speeding towards me from behind, heading towards the corner.

I reacted quickly and immediately pulled Attorney Xu away.

The car contained my mistress and my husband.

I could clearly see my husband sitting in the driver's seat, while his mistress, wearing an expensive mink coat, sunglasses, and beautiful curly hair, rolled down the window and said to me, "Jiang Man, you think you can compete with me? You're just an old woman, haha!"

So what if I steal your husband?

You obediently took down the video and apologized to me.
