The reason Shen Nian asked this was because her earlier speculation led her to a sudden thought: perhaps Chu Lingxiu was simply being used.
And as for the person using Chu Lingxiu, their motive was likely still a mystery.
However, Chu Lingxiu completely failed to grasp Shen Nian's good intentions. In fact, after hearing what Shen Nian said, her face quickly filled with anger.
"What benefits? Why would she give me any benefits! Shen Nian, don't you dare slander my friend! Don't try to ruin our friendship!"
...
Shen Nian looked at Chu Lingxiu helplessly. 'I've barely said a thing, and she's already this dramatic!'
"I'm not interested in your friendship, and I'm even less interested in your friend. But whether it's you or your so-called friend, if either of you tries to ruin my relationship with Lu Cheng, I won't let you get off easy!"
With that said, Shen Nian turned to leave.
