Chapter 917: A Love Based on Benefits
A lot of cute and delicate young girls that had just graduated had entered the company recently. Xue Manman knew that she was no longer young. She was already twenty-eight, so she naturally couldn’t compete with those youthful girls.
Her only advantage was that she had a pure romance with Zhang Jiasen back when they were in college.
“I like this job. Jiasen, don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” Xue Manman couldn’t be bothered to feel wronged anymore. She hastily guaranteed that she would control her emotions and even whined childishly to get him to agree.
Finally, Zhang Jiasen nodded.
When Ning Shu who had walked back to the office heard their exchange, she started laughing.
Zhang Jiasen and Xue Manman were both people who were never content, like snakes that tried to swallow an elephant. Zhang Jiasen wanted to nibble away until he devoured the whole of the Miao family. Meanwhile, Xue Manman was no longer content with being Zhang Jiasen’s mistress and wanted to stand openly by his side.
They were all selfish people.
Ning Shu felt pretty speechless. Miao Miaomiao sincerely loved Zhang Jiasen, but Zhang Jiasen hadn’t cared at all and liked Xue Manman. Xue Manman’s love was built on the material part of their relationship. If Zhang Jiasen didn’t have his current position, there was no way that Xue Manman would choose Zhang Jiasen.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Jiasen felt that love that contained demands and mutual benefit was an insurance for stability.
However, a love based on benefits would ultimately crumble due to interest in benefits.
Ning Shu felt that it was about time to make her move.
She went to the police station to visit Aunt Ping. During this time, Aunt Ping had become a lot skinner and her collar bones protruded sharply. She didn’t seem to be doing well and there was a lot more white in her hair.
Her eyes were filled with worry and despair.
Ning Shu didn’t pity her at all. In the original storyline, Aunt Ping had succeeded. Although she didn’t know what benefits Zhang Jiasen had offered Aunt Ping, since she had chosen this road, it was only right for her to suffer the consequences of being discovered.
“You’re still not willing to say?” Ning Shu sat down opposite Aunt Ping to look at her through the bulletproof glass.
Aunt Ping’s mouth moved slightly, but she didn’t speak. She seemed a little out of it. It was clear that the interrogations had worn her out both mentally and physically.
“Don’t forget your son. Your son has already been expelled from college because of you. Although the Miao family is quite insignificant in this city, it’d still be easy enough to deal with your son,” said Ning Shu mildly.
Aunt Ping’s skinny face contorted slightly as her eyes filled with fear. She stood up excitedly and begged Ning Shu, “Miss, please, I’m begging you! This matter has nothing to do with my son! Please, don’t do anything to my son.”
“Then confess! Why did you add poison to my dad’s food?” asked Ning Shu.
She should put herself in someone else’s shoes. Aunt Ping begged for her son to be spared, but she had hurt Miao Miaomiao’s father. She had hurt Miao Miaomiao’s family.
How could she not feel any shame begging another person?
Aunt Ping shook her head. “I can’t tell. I really can’t tell.”
“I gave you a chance, you were the one that didn’t take it.” Ning Shu stood up. “Take care, I won’t be coming again. Actually, I don’t care about your testimony at all.”
