For seven years, Ji Xiaoshan had been busy dealing with all the women surrounding Tan Xili. Then one day, she suddenly grew tired of it all and demanded a divorce in a fit of anger.
Before the divorce, Ji Xiaoshan asked, "How should we divide our assets?"
Tan Xili said, "The company belongs to your father, the house is yours, you gave birth to our child, and you forced me into this marriage. I have no right to claim anything."
She said it so resolutely, as if taking anything from Ji Xiaoshan would be a terrible misfortune.
Indeed, the unluckiest thing that had ever happened to her was being noticed by Ji Xiaoshan, who took his affection away from him.

Tan Xili was born in an orphanage, with no parents, but she grew up with everything going smoothly.
She thought she had what it took to turn a bad hand into a winning one. It was only after meeting Ji Xiaoshan that she realized all her efforts over the past twenty years were futile, worth less than the advantages the other had inherited over three generations.

Half a month after asking for a divorce, Ji Xiaoshan calmed down and began to regret it. He realized he would gladly spend another fifty years dealing with Tan Xili's romantic scandals rather than divorce her.
He tried to make peace, appealing to her heart and reason. He threw money at her and even offered his body. None of it worked.
Out of options, he could only bring out his trump card.
Ji Xiaoshan planted one foot on the railing of the second-floor balcony and threatened Tan Xili. "If you won't agree to stay with me, I'll jump."
He had said the same thing seven years ago.
Back then, a young and inexperienced Tan Xili had said, "All right. Let's get married."
Now, the mature Tan Xili said, "All right. Go ahead and jump."
Filled with resentment, Ji Xiaoshan pushed off and leaped down.
Unfortunately, Tan Xili didn't even bat an eyelid.
