Chapter 636: Chapter 634: Cigarettes—You Have to Care to Get the Hang of Them
Shen Cheng heard the voice and turned her head with a smile that was not quite a smile, "You’re not simple either."
Shi Keke felt that in front of this sister-in-law, it seemed impossible to stay serious.
She shifted her gaze from the car that was gradually moving away from the villa back to Shen Cheng’s face and teased with a smile: "So sister-in-law, do you think I look extraordinary, or is it my aura that’s not simple?"
Shen Cheng smiled, then walked out of the pavilion and sat down on a swing nearby. Once she was seated, she slowly began, "Your thinking is not simple."
Usually, when one person meets another for the first time, the most they can feel is either like or dislike, rather than being able to peer into someone’s heart and see whether she is simple or not.
But Shi Keke was able to judge whether she was simple or not without any verbal or physical contact with Gu Liancheng.
Shi Keke smiled indifferently, "Being a lawyer, who isn’t careful and complex in their thinking? The competition in this industry is so fierce, any negligence can ruin your future."
She leaned against the pavilion’s column and took out a pack of ladies’ cigarettes from her handbag, pulling one out, putting it in her mouth, and lighting it.
After taking a deep inhale, she tilted her head back and slowly exhaled some smoke. As the smoke began to dissipate, she continued, "The legal profession is actually very inhumane. No matter what kind of lawsuit it is, you have to find ways to win. And if you want to win, it’s not about real skill but meticulous thinking."
Her words were very insightful.
In this day and age, there’s no right or wrong, only winning or losing.
If you want to win, you must be willing to pay any price.
Shi Keke put the cigarette back to her lips, taking a heavy drag, inhaling all the smoke into her lungs.
Seeing her skilled smoking, Shen Cheng’s smile faded, and she raised an eyebrow, "Others drown their sorrows with alcohol, you do it with cigarettes?"
"Right!" Shi Keke laughed, "No matter how much you smoke, it won’t get you drunk, but if you drink too much, you might end up in bed pregnant before you know it! I absolutely can’t accept being pregnant before marriage."
"There are countless ways to drink alcohol; do you really have to go to a bar?"
"If I don’t drink at the bar, should I then act like the heroine in TV dramas, buying a dozen beers to sit on the balcony at home, getting drunk as I face the night sky?" Shi Keke took another drag of her cigarette, then stubbed it out, adding, "Anyway, I don’t have that kind of leisure or interest!"
Lawyers are just lawyers, always ready with a lengthy discourse.
"I think my way of thinking is not on the same line as yours at all," Shen Cheng said, pointing meaningfully at the cigarette pack in her hand, "Quit it, cigarettes aren’t good for you."
At this, Shi Keke shrugged nonchalantly, "Addicts can’t quit smoking."
After saying that, she lifted the cigarette pack and shook it, asking Shen Cheng, "Sister-in-law, have you ever smoked?"
Instead of answering her question, Shen Cheng looked at her and said faintly, "Aren’t you supposed to be able to read minds? Why do you need to ask such a question?"
Shi Keke laughed, "You’ve smoked, haven’t you?"
Shen Cheng curved her lips, "I’ve smoked, but I never got the hang of it."
"With things like cigarettes, how can you smoke them well if you don’t put your heart into it? Just like with men, how can you fall in love with him if you don’t invest your heart? And if you don’t put your heart into it, how would you know whether you’ve fallen in love with him or not?"
Mature and sophisticated words came out of Shi Keke’s mouth effortlessly, without a hint of incongruity.
