CHAPTER 678: CHAPTER 674: IF YOU CAN’T GET MARRIED, DON’T COME CRYING TO ME

Shen Cheng planned to stay in the hospital to keep Wen Wan company overnight, but Wen Wan adamantly refused, saying she could manage alone and that the hospital had nurses to care for her, urging them not to worry so much.

However, gastric bleeding could be a major or minor issue, not to be taken lightly; none felt comfortable leaving Wen Wan alone in the hospital.

Especially Shi Keke, who, seeing Wen Wan’s pale complexion and haggard appearance, felt even more uneasy and refused to leave no matter what.

"Keke, stop adding to the chaos here, go back early and sleep, restore your energy for a victorious court case tomorrow."

Knowing that Shi Keke had a court case the next day, Wen Wan, not wanting to delay her, urged her to go back.

But Shi Keke refused: "Aunt, I’d only be staying up all night looking at documents back home anyway, and it’s too noisy in the downtown area where I live; the hospital is quieter."

Wen Wan frowned, "How can you handle not sleeping all night?"

Shi Keke smiled nonchalantly, "I’m used to it, ever since I started working at the law firm, I’ve been working until the early hours almost every night. Staying up late is nothing to me!"

This is the hardship behind success.

Being an excellent lawyer is not as easy as one might think; often, one has to give more than they receive.

A lawsuit, if won, can be the talk of the town, but if lost, might lead to ruin overnight!

"Keke, I neglected my health back then, constantly working overtime through nights. As a young person, I didn’t realize how much damage that routine was doing to my body. Later, as I aged, I realized my health had deteriorated... So you must take good care of your health."

Seeing Shi Keke reminded Wen Wan of her younger self.

Back then, to improve the company’s operation, she worked tirelessly day and night, sometimes too busy even to take a sip of water.

She no longer remembers how many nights she spent working...

The only thing she remembers is, when she was exhausted physically and mentally, she received a divorce agreement.

And the date was, several years ago... Today.

"Aunt, don’t worry, I’ll adjust my schedule. You need to recover your health first," Shi Keke said, standing up, "I’ll get you some water."

Wen Wan brought herself back to the present and nodded with a smile.

As Shi Keke went to get water, she passed by Shi Mei, who was lazily leaning against the wall with his legs crossed, blocking the way.

Shi Keke initially wanted to step over but decided against it due to the inconvenience of wearing high heels, and indifferently glanced at the man in front, "Brother, excuse me."

Shi Mei, as if he hadn’t heard her, maintained his posture without making way for her.

Seeing him not moving, Shi Keke furrowed her brow slightly, about to say something, but then she heard a remark: "If staying up turns you into an ugly woman unable to get married, don’t come crying to me."

After saying that, Shi Mei finally moved his leg and made way.

At the sound, Shi Keke couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, if I turn into an ugly woman, I’ll definitely sell myself with my eloquence. Or maybe marry an eighty-year-old man. I definitely won’t let you laugh at me. And about crying in front of you, that’s even less likely."

"Hmm, I hope you can achieve that,"

Shi Mei gave her a look and walked out of the ward, finding a ventilated corridor to start smoking.
