The Secret of Second Marriage

Chapter 78 Daughter's SOS Call

We simply greeted each other and then got right to filming.

The filming process for short dramas is particularly fast.

The script has over 100 episodes, but the director said he plans to film it in one or two weeks.

I took a deep breath and walked into the filming location rented by the production crew.

"The Wife's Revenge" tells the story of the female protagonist's husband having an affair with her best friend.

On their wedding anniversary, the male protagonist took the female protagonist on a trip abroad. With a ferocious expression, he pushed her off the yacht into the sea and said to her, "Gu Qingqiu, I have never loved you. Go to hell, and don't get in the way of me being with Jiaojiao."

Chen Jiao is her best friend.

She never dreamed that her best friend would have an affair with her husband and even try to kill her.

The female protagonist was disfigured by a shark in the sea, but was later rescued by a foreign ship. With her own abilities, she opened a cross-border trading company abroad.

Three years later, he returned to China.

She discovered that her daughter was being chained up by the adulterous couple, locked in a doghouse, and whipped dozens of times a day, leaving her covered in wounds, while they also refused to feed her.

Her heart was breaking, and she vowed to make that despicable couple pay...

This is a revenge story featuring a strong female protagonist.

"Action! The crew is ready for the first scene!"

The makeup artist transformed me into a stylish and sophisticated female CEO, dressed in a light blue dress, a blazer, and high-heeled boots. My figure was stunning, and my long, straight hair cascaded over my shoulders.

With exquisite and refined features, she exudes an aloof and elegant air, like a fairy who has stepped out of a painting.

It has to be said that clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse.

Wearing designer clothes, with light makeup and a sophisticated hairstyle, I looked exactly like a big star. Then, walking down from the airport in high heels, I was both beautiful and aloof.

People who didn't know better would think a big star had arrived at the airport.

Our crew, with cameras, followed me to several studios and filmed all morning, not finishing until almost 1 p.m. before we had lunch.

My stomach was growling with hunger, and I also had low blood sugar.

To maintain my figure, I've only eaten one banana and three slices of tomato for the past two days.

When I dragged my hungry and tired body to get my lunchbox, the staff told me that I was too late and the last lunchbox had already been given out.

The place where we're filming is a professional filming base located far in the suburbs.

There aren't many places to eat around here.

This means I'm going to go hungry all day.

That's how the workplace is, especially for newcomers who are easily bullied.

Although I am the female lead, I am still a newcomer acting for the first time.

The crew's logistics staff didn't leave me a boxed lunch; they really discriminate based on who they serve.

I put on my coat and went to the dressing room alone. I drank a glass of water and planned to sit down and rest for a while when someone suddenly brought me a bento box.

I saw a pair of fair and clean hands, and then looking up, I saw a gentle young man.

Shen Xing, wearing a white sports down jacket, came over and placed the lunchbox on my desk. Then she sat down at the table next to me and said, "Sis, I made two portions this morning. If you can't finish them, you can have one."

He knew that I didn't receive a boxed lunch on my first day of work.

"Thank you, but I'm on a diet, so thank you."

I took a deep sniff and said casually while sitting in the chair.

Skipping a meal won't kill you.

I don't want to owe him a favor.

A hint of sadness flashed in Shen Xing's eyes, but she quickly smiled faintly and said to me, "Sister, I'm not reconciled. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."

I had already decided to forget you.

But fate has brought us together again. Don't worry, this time I won't cause you much trouble; we're just friends.

I've saved this meal for you. There's hot water over there, so remember to eat and take good care of yourself.

He left after saying those words.

I was sitting alone in the film crew's dressing room and break room. Other staff members came in one after another. Because our studio was rented, there were many other short drama crews filming next door.

Looking at the exquisite bento box on the table, I thought about it and decided that there was no need to make things difficult for my stomach.

I poured myself a cup of hot water, heated up the lunchbox in the microwave, and opened the lid. Inside, there was a neatly arranged layer of diet-friendly meals.

Avocado, cooked potatoes, broccoli, vegetable salad, shrimp and beef, all piled high, no rice, just these low-fat dishes.

I underestimated today's Gen Z.

Shen Xing's cooking skills were unexpectedly good.

As I ate the bento box he made for me, I suddenly had a feeling I couldn't quite describe.

I think I'm a woman too, and I'm easily moved.

But I told myself not to do it again next time.

I was eating my lunchbox when I received a call from my daughter, crying, "Mommy, Mommy, help me..."

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately asked loudly, "Baby, where are you? What happened? Don't be afraid, tell Mommy slowly."

My daughter cried and said to me, "Mommy, Daddy and that bad woman took me to a hospital and made the doctor draw my blood. It hurts so much... Please come and save me!"

Xue Fan, Yang Yufei!

You two despicable people.

I immediately asked the crew for leave, and they told me to hurry up and come back as soon as possible so that we could start work at 2:30 pm sharp.

I pleaded with the director, "Director, I have some personal matters to attend to. If I can't come back on time, could we film the other actors' scenes first, and then film my scenes later?"

"I'll try my best to adjust. But Jiang Man, you're a newcomer. Many people in the crew don't believe in your acting skills, think you can't play this role well, and are waiting to see you fail. But I have faith in you; you're an actor I signed."

You must be dedicated to your work and not embarrass me, understand?

Perhaps it was because Director Zhang, who was also a woman, was particularly lenient with me.

I said, "Okay."

I frantically hailed a taxi from the film set and went to my daughter's hospital.

Shen Xing ran over with his bag on his back. He was tall and handsome, a head taller than me, with fair skin and radiating youthful energy.

He said to me, "Sis, I'll go with you. That guy's a scumbag; he might bully you if you go!"

"No need, I have an appointment with President Jiang."

I told him.

I really don't want to involve Shen Xing in my life anymore.

He's such an outstanding, youthful, and handsome guy; he shouldn't be messing around with a married woman like me.

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to go with me, but when she saw my attitude, the light in her eyes dimmed little by little. She stood quietly by the roadside and watched me leave.

I got into the car, and it sped off. I glanced back at Shen Xing, who was still standing there. He was like the ideal boy in my heart, watching me leave with longing eyes.

I feel a bit upset.

However, I am more concerned about my daughter's safety.

I called Mr. Jiang and told him about it. Mr. Jiang was talking business with a very important client and sent me a WeChat message saying that he would come to see me in 30 minutes.

But the more panicked I became, the more confused I felt.

I recalled a news report I'd seen before, about a husband who, after cheating on his wife, pushed his two children off a high-rise building to please his mistress, causing them to fall to their deaths.

Some men, when they get ruthless, are worse than animals.

I am extremely worried about my daughter's safety.

I even swore in my heart that if my husband and his mistress dared to lay a finger on my daughter, I would take them down with me.

President Jiang comforted me, "Man, don't panic, stay calm. I'll be right there after my meeting."

Don't worry, we live in a society governed by law, there are surveillance cameras, and your husband at least has a decent job, so he wouldn't do something so heinous.

"Call the police first, I'll handle the rest."

I immediately called the police, and then went to the hospital with the police to see my daughter.

I pulled her into my arms, my eyes icy as I stared at my husband and his mistress, gritting my teeth as I demanded, "Why did you two bring my daughter to the hospital?"

When my husband saw me, a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.

Yang Yufei, the mistress, looked at me excitedly and with surprise. She never expected that in her eyes, the slovenly housewife would transform into such a glamorous woman, wearing a blue dress, a black suit, and a black down jacket over it.

I was wearing makeup, had my hair done, and was adorned with an expensive diamond necklace and earrings, looking like a big star who had just stepped off a film set.

It's breathtakingly beautiful.

My dignified and elegant beauty, radiating peace and prosperity, completely overshadowed the petty and mean-spirited demeanor of the mistress.

No matter how beautiful a face is, if it has a dirty heart, you'll get tired of looking at it after a while.

My husband's attitude towards me suddenly changed 180 degrees.

His gaze was fixed on me like a nail, and he said with a hint of resentment, "Jiang Man, I really underestimated you. Look at all that designer stuff you're wearing, wasn't it given to you by that guy surnamed Jiang?"

You always pretend to be such a perfect wife and mother in front of me. You must have hooked up with your boss a long time ago, otherwise why would he treat you so well?

"Even at this point, you're still spreading rumors about me. I'm asking you, what exactly did you bring Tangtang here for?"

I held my daughter's hand tightly, hugged her in my arms, and angrily questioned her.

Tangtang looked at me with tears in her eyes. The little girl cried and hugged my neck, saying, "Mommy, Daddy suspects I'm not his biological child. He and this bad woman are trying to drag me into this mess."

"I brought Tangtang here for a paternity test. I suspect she's not my child at all. Who knows if you've been seeing some shady men behind my back?"

"Jiang Man, otherwise why are you in such a hurry to move out? Is it so you can have an affair with him?"

Xue Fan's emotions were fluctuating wildly. He questioned me, and his eyes held a deep, unfathomable hatred and suspicion towards me.

I bother!

That's disgusting...

"Xue Fan, you're a real scoundrel. I was so blind to have given birth to children for a man like you, sacrificed my career, and became a full-time housewife for six years."

Heh, once the test results come out, I'll throw them in your face first, you bitch, you beast!

I yelled.

After I yelled, I left with my daughter in my arms without looking back.

Because I have to rush to my 2 PM announcement.
