Shi Keke asked her at the time: "What made you decide to marry that man? What made you decide to have children for him? What made you willing to give up a woman’s entire life for him?"

The woman lowered her head silently when she heard the question and said with a bitter smile: "When he pursued me, he said he would love me for a lifetime, no matter what happened or what he encountered, he would never leave me. He also said that even if one day I became an ugly woman, he wouldn’t abandon me, nor would there be any other woman..."

Reality proves that verbal promises are always deceitful. No one can guarantee that one day they won’t have other thoughts, nor can they guarantee that they won’t break their original promises one day.

People are often like this. Before obtaining something, they might give their all to you, whether it’s their mind, body, or fortune. After getting it, perhaps they might discard you like an old shoe.

What cannot be obtained is always yearned for, and what has been obtained is dispensable.

Most men are like this; they don’t know how to cherish what they have and only regret it when they lose it.

Shi Keke feels very fortunate to have met a reliable man. Even though he never speaks of love openly or says any sweet words to her, he proves with actions and details that she holds a place in his heart.

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

When Wei Shenshen entered the office, she saw Shi Keke leaning on the desk in a daze, so she waved her hand in front of her eyes.

Shi Keke snapped back to reality, said it was nothing, and stood up straight: "There are forty minutes left before the trial starts. Let’s get ready to go."

"Everything is prepared according to your instructions, Master. The evidence for the trial has also been submitted to the court in advance. Now we just wait for it to start," Wei Shenshen said, settling on the sofa by the window. She stretched and lay down, saying: "Master, that Zhang Er really got a raw deal. She followed Qian Hao since she was twenty, wasted so much of her youth on him, and even gave him a son and daughter. And yet, he still cheated? Speaking of which, cats sneaking around is quite normal, not a heinous crime. But the problem lies in his arrogance, thinking his wife was a village girl who wouldn’t fight back. He ended up digging a pit for himself to fall into. Well, now it’s over. Out of a billion in assets, at least fifty million has to be given to the ex-wife. It truly fits with the saying, ’you reap what you sow.’"

"That’s why sometimes you shouldn’t underestimate a woman’s capability," Shi Keke slowly stirred the coffee in her cup, speaking unhurriedly: "Because once a woman sets her mind, she can bring a man to utter ruin."

"Utter ruin, that description is just too appropriate," Wei Shenshen said, tilting her head and looking at Shi Keke with admiration. "Master, I feel like I’m falling in love with you, to the point of no return. Look at you, both beautiful and smart. High IQ, high EQ. And every word you say is the truth, leaving no room for rebuttal."

"Of course," Shi Keke paused and then smiled charmingly, "I forgot to tell you, I was a ’triple-high beauty’ in university."

"What are the triple-highs?" Wei Shenshen asked.

"IQ, EQ, and..." Shi Keke said, deliberately pausing, leaving the last high for Wei Shenshen to guess.
