Love You Till the End Chapter 1187 - 1185: Shi Mei vs. Shi Keke (32)

Shi Keke inquired at that moment: "What prompted your decision to marry that man? What inspired you to bear him children? What convinced you to relinquish your entire life as a woman for him?"

The woman remained silent, head bowed, and responded with a sorrowful smile: "When he courted me, he pledged eternal love, vowing to remain by my side through any hardship or circumstance. He even promised that should my appearance fade and my beauty wane, he would never forsake me, nor would any other woman capture his heart..."

Yet, reality demonstrably reveals the hollowness of verbal commitments. No one possesses the foresight to guarantee their affections won't stray, nor the power to ensure original promises remain unbroken indefinitely.

It is a common human failing: individuals may pour their heart, soul, and wealth into securing something, only to cast it aside like worn-out footwear once obtained.

What remains elusive is perpetually yearned for, while that which is possessed often becomes trivial.

A great many men fall into this pattern; they fail to appreciate what they have until it's gone, only then succumbing to regret.

Shi Keke considers herself exceptionally fortunate to have found a dependable partner. Despite his reserved nature, devoid of overt declarations of love or sweet nothings, his actions and subtle gestures consistently affirm her cherished place in his life.

"Master, what is occupying your thoughts?"

Upon entering the office, Wei Shenshen observed Shi Keke lost in contemplation, her hand resting vaguely on the desk. Wei Shenshen fluttered her hand before Shi Keke's eyes, seeking to draw her back to the present.

Shi Keke refocused, dismissing her musings as inconsequential, and straightened up: "We have forty minutes before the trial commences. Let us prepare to depart."

"All arrangements have been meticulously executed according to your directives, Master. The requisite legal documents and evidence for the proceedings have also been submitted to the court in advance. We now await the session's start," Wei Shenshen stated, settling onto the sofa beside the window. She stretched languidly and continued, "Master, that Zhang Er truly received an unfair hand. She devoted herself to Qian Hao from the tender age of twenty, squandering her youthful prime on him, and even bore him two children. And all this, only for him to engage in infidelity? Honestly, a married man's dalliances can be seen as commonplace, not a cardinal sin. The crux of the matter was his sheer arrogance, believing his wife, a simple village girl, would not retaliate. He inadvertently dug his own grave. Well, it's all concluded now. From his billion-dollar fortune, a minimum of fifty million will be allocated to his former wife. It precisely embodies the adage, 'What goes around, comes around.'"

"This serves as a stark reminder that one should never underestimate a woman's resolve," Shi Keke commented slowly, stirring her coffee with measured grace: "For once a woman sets her mind to something, she possesses the power to bring a man to utter ruin."

"'Utter ruin' – that description is exceptionally fitting," Wei Shenshen agreed, tilting her head and gazing at Shi Keke with undisguised admiration. "Master, I am truly falling for you, irrevocably. Behold your magnificence – both beautiful and brilliant. Possessing a high IQ, high EQ, and every word you utter is imbued with undeniable truth, leaving no room for debate."

"Naturally," Shi Keke replied, pausing briefly before a charming smile graced her lips, "I neglected to mention, I was celebrated as a 'triple-high beauty' during my university years."

"And what precisely constitutes these 'triple-highs'?" Wei Shenshen inquired, curious.

"IQ, EQ, and..." Shi Keke trailed off deliberately, leaving the final element for Wei Shenshen to decipher implicitly.
