The Secret of Second Marriage

After being stunned for a long time, Wang Han slowly raised his eyes and became polite and wary towards me. Then he reverted to his shrewd and adaptable self, saying one thing to one person and another to another.

He said very smoothly, "Ms. Jiang, I was impolite last night. I apologize. Whatever misunderstanding happened between us, I hope it won't involve our work in the future. I'll cooperate with you and act well! Are you satisfied now?"

"I just want to focus on making movies."

I smiled, walked over, took the USB drive, and said to him with a cold expression.

The moment I stepped out of Wang Han's dressing room, I noticed that many crew members were subtly watching me, as if waiting to see me make a fool of myself, to see how I would be kicked out and thrown off the set...

When Director Zhang called me over, my heart sank, and I suddenly made the worst-case scenario plan.

I went to Director Zhang's office, where he drank a cup of tea and comforted me: "Man, what exactly is going on between you and Wang Han? He says you seduced him. Can you explain that to me?"

"Director Zhang, do you believe me, or do you believe him?"

I asked suddenly.

Director Zhang said, "As a fellow woman, I actually trust you a little more. But I hope you can provide solid evidence, not just empty words."

"He sexually harassed me."

I'll briefly recount what happened last night, and then show the USB drive to Director Zhang.

After watching it, the director looked shocked and said to me, "I never expected Wang Han to be such a scoundrel. Oh well, Man, I trust your character."

I've already discussed it with the producer and General Manager Jiang. You're the actor I'm going to groom. If Wang Han still wants to cast big names, we'll replace him. General Manager Jiang said he'll cover the costs... Go and get ready, and focus on filming."

"Okay, Director Zhang."

I nodded.

When I left the office, I felt much better. I didn't want to think about the backstabbing and infighting in the workplace anymore. Instead, I found a corner to focus on memorizing my lines and preparing for filming.

Director Zhang personally went to talk to Wang Han. Wang Han was no longer as arrogant as before. His face turned red and then pale. He quickly apologized and told Director Zhang that it was a misunderstanding. He even treated the entire crew to milk tea and cooperated very well with the filming.

He was much more polite to me after that.

I filmed for three more days in a row, but what I didn't expect was that the person who betrayed me the most was not my colleague Wang Han from the crew, but my husband and his mistress.

At the time, I was in the studio filming a scene about a female lead who takes revenge after undergoing plastic surgery, adopting a new identity as a beautiful CEO, and reuniting with her scumbag boyfriend at a business party.

This is a grand comeback, featuring a crucial scene of their first meeting.

As soon as the music started, I appeared at the party dressed in a black suit, looking beautiful and elegant, holding a glass of my husband's favorite whiskey.

All the men's eyes were on me.

My boyfriend, a scumbag, conspired with my best friend to push me into the sea for his money, so I came back this time to get revenge on him.

Wang Han's acting skills are indeed quite good.

He was practically playing himself. The first thing he said to me when he saw me at the party was, "Miss Alice, I think you look a lot like someone I used to know."

"Really? I studied in the UK for 10 years and just returned to China to take over the family business. How do we know each other?"

As I recited my lines, my performance, from my eyes to my demeanor, was exceptionally convincing, perfectly embodying the image of a noble and refined heiress.

To prepare for the role, I privately studied the daily behavior and speech of all the top conglomerate heiresses from home and abroad. My appearance is very similar to that of a conglomerate heiress from Country H, who is aloof and indifferent, as if nothing in the world is worth her attention.

My eyes held a mixture of indifference, mockery, and nonchalance.

Wang Han was also attracted by my acting skills.

We dislike each other in private, but we cooperated perfectly on set. That's the professionalism of an actor.

"Cut! That scene is over."

The director gave me a satisfied look.

She couldn't help but call me over and say, "Jiang Man, when you first came to audition, I was actually quite nervous. I was afraid that you were a newcomer with no acting experience and wouldn't be able to act well in this play."

But your gaze and demeanor just now were truly amazing; you perfectly captured the aloof, cold, and domineering aura of a noble lady.

You've really found the right person for this role; I think you'll definitely win Best Actress someday.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director."

When I heard the director's praise, my eyes welled up with tears. Ever since I joined the crew, I've not been well-regarded by everyone. Everyone doubted my abilities and whether I could handle the role.

I was actually quite nervous the whole time, trying to get into character as quickly as possible, but it wasn't until this moment, when I heard the director's praise, that I finally felt completely at ease and truly found the rhythm and feeling of acting.

The way other staff members on set looked at me changed from initial disdain to admiration.

Just when I felt my future was bright and my life was full of hope, my husband and his mistress barged onto the film set together...

Yang Yufei, the mistress, somehow found out that I was filming and was so jealous she was almost going crazy. She insisted on taking Xue Fan's hand and led him to the film studio where we were shooting.

She took my husband's hand very intimately, threw the judgment in my face, and said, "Jiang Man, I want you to apologize publicly!"

"Who is she?"

"Is there even a question? This woman is dressed so young and beautiful, all flashy, with foxy eyes and a pointed chin. She's obviously a vixen who seduces men."

"No way? The mistress actually came to the wife to force her out? Wow, look at this show!"

Colleagues all gathered around.

I'm speechless. Every time I'm about to have a better life, this scumbag husband of mine appears in my life and tries to ruin my career.

My husband, Xue Fan, stood there calmly and said, "Jiang Man, you sent my mother to jail, and you're here quietly filming? Do you think that's possible?"

In that instant, my heart was bleeding.

How could I have ever fallen in love with such a cold-blooded and ruthless man?

I said, "Get out of here! This is my workplace, and you two are not welcome here."

"It's laughable that an old woman like you, unwanted by any man, can even act in a film. I'm here today to formally report you to the production team!"

Yang Yufei gave a cold laugh.

"What are you going to report her for?"

At the most critical moment, President Jiang appeared.

He had heard that I had a bad falling out with the male lead in the crew, so he was very worried about me. He had been working in Beijing these past few days and would come over to accompany me during filming whenever he had a spare moment.

President Jiang quietly protected me, giving me a sense of security.

When my husband saw President Jiang, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

He said, "President Jiang, you're a business elite, you can have any kind of woman you want, why are you seducing someone else's wife?"

"Xue Fan, please watch your words. Manman and I are just friends for now."

General Jiang made a subtle threat: "If you spread rumors about my relationship with Manman again, don't blame me for having my lawyer talk to you..."

Public figures like him have many tricks up their sleeves, and Xue Fan didn't dare to offend him casually.

President Jiang was dressed in a black suit, wearing glasses, with a refined and handsome face, and a faint sense of aloof nobility in his every move.

Yang Yufei gritted her teeth and said, "Where's the director? I'm going to report this woman for leaking other people's privacy online. She's been sentenced by the court to apologize within 15 days! How dare you let such a tainted woman act?"

Director Zhang walked over and looked at the verdict in her hand, then sneered, "I thought it was something serious. I've lived for so many years and I've never seen a man or woman with such thick skin."

The man keeps a mistress outside the marriage, and the woman seduces someone else's husband; neither of them is any good.

The wife was sued simply for posting photos of the adulterous couple online; that's outrageous!

"Oh, I see."

"How dare you come here? It's so embarrassing!"

"She really is a vixen!"

After my colleagues found out what had happened, they all cast contemptuous glances at my husband and his mistress.

That mistress is shameless. She came over to me and said, "Jiang Man, I'm telling you, you have to apologize to me today, or I'm not leaving."

I don't want to affect the filming schedule.

I said, "You want to apologize, right? Fine, very well. Go back now, and starting tonight, I will publicly apologize on my Douyin account every day. Go back and wait for my message."

Director Zhang said, "This is a work environment. If you don't leave, I'll have to have the place cleared out."

Seeing this, Xue Fan pulled the mistress aside and said, "Forget it, since she's willing to apologize publicly, let's go back. Yufei, don't be angry."

Yang Yufei left reluctantly.

I remained calm and continued filming, my demeanor composed, completely unaffected.

The entire crew praised me for my decisiveness.

But I've already made up my mind. I will apologize publicly, but I will apologize publicly on all platforms for every step and every detail of the cheating by the scumbag and the mistress.

I will hold up the ID numbers of the scumbag and the mistress, and apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, I ruined my husband and Ms. Yang's good time. I shouldn't have posted their affair online. I shouldn't have..."

I had already prepared a draft in my mind.

After filming wrapped up late at night, Mr. Jiang drove me home.

He dotes on me a lot, and he always brings me lots of delicious food whenever he comes over.

As I was getting on the bus, he suddenly handed me a bag of snacks.

When I opened it, I was instantly moved to tears.

What touched me most was that he knew I loved a type of crayfish from my hometown, so he drove all the way there to buy some and delivered them back that same morning.

It's the dead of winter now, and it's not easy to buy authentic Yichang prawns. I didn't know that President Jiang braved the cold wind to buy crayfish for me.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you."

I sniffed and said.
