The weak fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless.

Zhou Xiaoyu's attitude of going all out really intimidated Qin Menghan.

Just as Zhou Xiaoyu said, Qin Menghan had worked his way up from a poor boy to where he is now, and he couldn't even count how much hard work he had put in.

All the sacrifices he made were for the sake of gaining respect from others.

Children from poor families are more sensitive and have lower self-esteem. Is this really the truth? Qin Menghan believes so.

Because of poverty, he suffered endless humiliation from childhood to adulthood, and he was always on the path of being looked down upon by others.

After all, in their eyes, he had no chance of winning.

What can an honest person do in this society? Nothing more than the lowest-level jobs, barely making ends meet.

Even getting married required an exorbitant dowry. He married the wife of someone who had sold their daughter.

Doesn't he feel bad about the bride price? Of course he does, he feels extremely bad about it.

The bride price was so expensive, 300,000 yuan, which he had worked hard to earn for many years.

But there was nothing we could do.

He would rather spend 300,000 yuan than be looked down upon by others.

Anyway, that's how it is with his wife's side of the family; they all sell their daughters.

Moreover, his wife is completely devoted to him. Buying her is like buying a slave. If she can give him children in the future, and he wants her to have several sons, then the problem will be solved.

But man proposes, God disposes; in order to save him, Zhou Xiaoyu could no longer get pregnant.

Qin Menghan wasn't angry at that time, after all, his own life was more important.

When Zhou Xiaoyu cried to him about not being able to have his child, he comforted her patiently, and his wife became even more devoted to him.

But in fact, Qin Menghan never thought about not having children. He was a traditional man. Was the most important factor in marrying a woman to have her give birth to his child?

This woman's uterus is unusable; she's lost even the most basic ability. How could she possibly have the nerve to stay at his house for meals?

Therefore, Qin Menghan worked even harder to enslave Zhou Xiaoyu, with the aim of making her compensate for his infertility.

Since his wife at home couldn't have children, he had no choice but to find a woman outside the marriage.

Fortunately, Qin Menghan had some capital at that time, and he quickly began to plan to have a woman outside of his marriage have a child for him, preferably through in vitro fertilization, and ideally, if the result was a boy.

Later on, Qin Menghan became increasingly dissatisfied with Zhou Xiaoyu.

He realized that his wife's value had diminished, and Zhou Xiaoyu would occasionally do things that displeased him.

This woman is so strange; she always keeps a close eye on him.

Could it be that she really thought he treated her as an equal wife?

Has she forgotten how much dowry she received? Even though he has made a name for himself now, and even though his wife sacrificed a lot in the process of his success, so what?

If you marry him, you should make sacrifices for him; that's only natural.

Since she was no longer of any use, it was only natural to release her.

Qin Menghan planned the divorce, so naturally he needed to transfer assets.

Zhou Xiaoyu was right; he had always had plans in that regard.

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

These days, only the ruthless survive; kind women are just drained dry.

Qin Menghan believes he still retains a shred of kindness towards his ex-wife.

He never intended for Zhou Xiaoyu to give her life for him; he simply wanted to reject her and choose a better woman.

Everything went very smoothly. Despite Zhou Xiaoyu's tantrums, she couldn't escape his grasp.

But now he dares not think that way anymore.

Qin Menghan's initial purpose in appearing on this program was to cultivate a positive image for himself, in order to facilitate the company's IPO and increase public attention.

But everything was ruined by this woman.

Qin Menghan believed that his pity for her was of no use.

Zhou Xiaoyu is an ingrate; she never thinks about her husband and is always thinking about herself.

Why doesn't she think about it? If she hadn't gotten incredibly lucky, how could she have married him?

Qin Menghan selectively ignored the crucial role Zhou Xiaoyu played in his entrepreneurial journey.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyu had brought in new clients, Qin Menghan decided to hold on a little longer until the show ended, squeeze every last bit of value out of Zhou Xiaoyu, and then bring up the matter of breaking up.

He had planned to mend his relationship with Zhou Xiaoyu on this date, but she went crazy and yelled that she wanted to fight him to the death!

"Honey, you need to calm down. We've been together for so many years, how could you treat me like this? Everyone knows how much I love you. It was my mistake to transfer the assets before, I really didn't mean to do anything to you. How could you say such a thing? We're husband and wife, not enemies."

Qin Menghan also tried to show his gentleness.

Zhou Xiaoyu revealed a certain ruthlessness at this moment: "Qin Menghan, are you sure? If you are sure, we can not get a divorce. Don't worry, I always keep my word, as you know. I never talk much but do much, but once I say something, I will definitely do it."

"It is thanks to this perseverance that we have been able to keep the company afloat. Didn't you praise me before? I hope you will continue to praise me in the future."

After she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoyu even smiled at Qin Menghan.

Her smile sent chills down Qin Menghan's spine.

Qin Menghan looked at her, deliberately remaining calm: "What exactly do you mean?"

Zhou Xiaoyu continued to laugh: "Didn't I already say that I would stand with you through thick and thin from now on, whether on earth or underground, I will always follow you. Didn't you want a loyal servant? I am that."
