Chapter 2920: Check on Ding Xueqing
Therefore, no matter if it was three, six, or nine linked tasks, she had to keep going.
After chatting with Mei Ziqing a bit more, Ning Shu closed the chat system.
Mei Ziqing had sent her a gift to celebrate her becoming an ultra task-taker.
It was a bracelet with beads that looked like crystals. It was very pretty.
Ning Shu liked it.
To prepare for the three linked tasks, Ning Shu decided to relax and recharge.
She turned on the screen to check on Ding Xueqing and see how she was doing.
She also wanted to see how Ding Ningdie was faring.
Ning Shu hadn’t done anything directly to Ding Ningdie, but without her cheat-like backing, things couldn’t be going well for her.
Ning Shu lay back on the sofa, watching the screen.
Bai Hanmo had been wealthy, but with his excessive spending on food, drink, and gambling, no amount of money could last forever.
Drugs were also a factor. These things practically burned money.
These habits destroyed a person’s mind, body, and dignity. To satisfy those cravings, people would do anything—even commit crimes.
Bai Hanmo had fallen into this lifestyle.
Eventually, the money would run out, and going through drug withdrawal was agonizing.
To escape the pain of withdrawal, more drugs were needed, but drugs cost money.
Bai Hanmo had run out of money, so he returned to China to find Ding Ningdie.
Ding Ningdie still had feelings for Bai Hanmo. Seeing him suffer, she used her own money to buy drugs for him.
Ding Ningdie cried and begged Bai Hanmo to quit. When Bai Hanmo saw how sadly Ding Ningdie was crying, he also knew that continuing on like this was no good.
However, quitting this type of thing was no easy task. He didn’t hold out for long. Not even a week passed before Bai Hanmo couldn’t stand the pain anymore.
The withdrawal was unbearable, and he begged Ding Ningdie to give him more drugs.
Ding Ningdie could not harden her heart and she gave in.
Relapsing after trying to quit was devastating to his willpower, making it even harder to stop.
At this point, Bai Hanmo gave up on quitting altogether.
Drugs were like demons. Whether it was for thrill-seeking or curiosity, once someone got involved, the addiction clung to them like a demon that wouldn’t let go.
After returning to China, Ding Ningdie kept a low profile in the Ding family, but Ding Yan still didn’t like her.
Before long, Ding Ningdie had spent all her money.
Whenever Bai Hanmo was in pain, she had to come up with money somehow.
So she resorted to stealing from her family to support him—taking money and valuable jewelry.
All of it went to Bai Hanmo, feeding a bottomless pit.
When things started to go missing, Ding Yan eventually found out that Ding Ningdie had been stealing from the family. He was furious.
He kicked her out immediately.
No matter how Ding Ningdie begged, Ding Yan wouldn’t let her back in.
Ding Ningdie had no choice but to live with Bai Hanmo in a cramped apartment. Every day, he spent large amounts of money.
If he were the Bai Hanmo of the past, this wouldn’t have been a problem.
But now, with neither of them working, these expenses were hard to manage.
Meanwhile, Ding Xueqing continued her beauty cream business after she returned.
Ding Ningdie often went to her to ask her for money, just to provide rations for Bai Hanmo.
Anything to save him from the pain of withdrawal.
Ding Xueqing: …
Ding Xueqing had seen Bai Hanmo during his withdrawals. He cut a very sorry figure.
