Chapter 471: Are You Desperate for Money Now?
"Can Shi Yan afford to take such hits running a little business?" Tong Yao asked, half-jokingly.
During this period, Tong Yao had taken note of Shi Yan’s situation, discovering that aside from the milk tea shop, he had no other enterprises. The fact seemed to prove that Shi Yan had likely just stumbled on an opportunity and made a small fortune.
Recently, in order to compete with her for business, Shi Yan had lowered the price of his milk tea to a bare minimum profit margin. Add to this, his business was a joint venture with Xiao Mingqiang, and Lin Man’s lavish spending recently, even if there was a mountain of gold and silver, it would not be enough to squander this way.
Of course, all of these were Tong Yao’s speculations. The way she spoke now was merely to probe the extent of Shi Yan’s wealth.
Lin Man’s heart quivered. Shi Yan hadn’t given her control over the finances, so she had no idea how much money he actually had.
Reminded by Tong Yao, she started to have some doubts.
Recently, Shi Yan indeed hadn’t been as generous to her as before. They had just gotten married. If Shi Yan was having financial problems now, would that mean she had boarded a sinking ship?
Although she felt somewhat panicked inside, Lin Man put up a calm face, "Tong Yao, even if you’re jealous of me, at least say something believable! Haven’t you heard the saying ’A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse’? Even if Shi Yan’s business isn’t doing well, it’s a hundred times better than marrying a broke doctor like you did. Oh, I almost forgot, Si Chen has already divorced you."
"Speaking of which, I do feel a bit sorry for you. You thought Si Chen loved you very much, but in reality, he didn’t want you as soon as he left the country. When you deliberately tried to break up me and Zhao Wenkai, you probably didn’t expect that I would marry Shi Yan, right? I should really thank you. After all, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have married Shi Yan and now be the owner of several shops."
Every word Lin Man spoke was meant to sting Tong Yao, doing it on purpose to make Tong Yao upset, because there was nothing she disliked more than Tong Yao’s smiling face.
