Zhang Jiasen’s father called out to Ning Shu and asked, “Didn’t you say that you were going to save Jiasen? Why did he end up having to go to jail for twenty years?”


  Ning Shu: ……

  She really didn’t know what to say. Zhang Jiasen had been trying to kill Miao Miaomiao’s father, yet they could still bring themselves to righteously ask her why she didn’t save Zhang Jiasen?

  Could it be that they felt no guilt, no shame?

  “I tried to go through connections with the money, but it didn’t work. Zhang Jiasen’s affair is too severe. He tried to kill my dad.” Ning Shu picked up her bag and left.

  Zhang Jiasen’s father’s face paled. They were no longer in-laws, but enemies.

  Little Sis Zhang grabbed Ning Shu and said, “Did you already use the million from selling the house? My brother also had ownership of the house, so you should split the leftover money with us.”


  Ning Shu frowned as she looked at Little Sis Zhang. Was the entire Zhang family this shallow? Her brother was in jail, but she still had the peace of mind to ask about the money from selling the house?

  Ning Shu grinned as she said, “Every single cent was used up.”


  “Miao Miaomiao, you’re just trying to embezzle the leftover money,” said Little Sis Zhang angrily.

  Ning Shu replied mildly, “This house belongs to me, so I have the right to allocate the money that it sold for. If I say it’s gone, it’s gone. What can you do?”


  Little Sis Zhang was infuriated. Zhang Jiasen’s mother joined in to demand the money. “How could you spend a million in just a few days? That’s not possible! You black-hearted wretch, you just want to steal Jiasen’s money!”


  Ning Shu scoffed, then turned and left. She couldn’t be bothered to talk to these people.

  When she got home, Father Miao asked her, “How was this matter dealt with? What did the court decide?”


  “All of Zhang Jiasen’s assets have been confiscated and he’s sentenced to eighteen years of jail,” said Ning Shu.

  Father Miao said coldly, “That’s how it should be.”


  “My dear daughter, could it be that you still can’t set Zhang Jiasen down?” When Father Miao saw that Ning Shu’s facial color wasn’t that good, he hastily said, “Daughter, you couldn’t be planning to wait for Zhang Jiasen for eighteen years, right?”


  “How’s that possible?” Ning Shu was stuck between laughter and tears. Why would she wait eighteen years for Zhang Jiasen? Since the original host had made these kinds of requests, it meant that she no longer had any illusions about Zhang Jiasen.

  He had killed her parents and made her lose everything. Her originally happy life had been completely destroyed by him. If she still loved Zhang Jiasen after all of this and waited for him, then her brain must’ve been smooshed by a pig.

  “That’s good. Hurry and get divorced with Zhang Jiasen. There are still plenty of good men in this world,” said Father Miao with an expression of heartache. His daughter had ended up marrying such a beast. Would it leave a trauma?

  Would she end up being single for a lifetime?

  “Let’s talk about the issue of men later.” After she left, when Miao Miaomiao got back, it was her choice whether to search for new happiness or heal her wounds.

  Father Miao’s facial color worsened. He was sure that his daughter was severely hurt due to that bastard Zhang Jiasen.

  Early morning the next day, Ning Shu opened the newspaper to see Zhang Jiasen on the headlines. It proclaimed Zhang Jiasen’s crimes in bold. He had tried to murder his father-in-law, he was practically a beast in human skin!

  In any case, Zhang Jiasen was now a household name in this city.

  Ning Shu set down the newspaper. After having breakfast, she prepared to head to work. Father Miao said to Ning Shu, “You don’t have to go to work today, you should just rest up. Work will never end.”


  “But there’s an important meeting today,” said Ning Shu.

  Father Miao became even more worried. “Miaomiao, my precious daughter, if you’re sad, just cry. There’s no need to work so hard to numb yourself.”


  Ning Shu: ……

  She wasn’t hurt at all. What was Father Miao looking at to make him think she was hurt?
