Chapter 509: Have a Drink with Brother-in-law.
"No need," Shen Mianmian shook her head to refuse, "I have other things to do, so I’ll be going now."
"Young lady, if you feel awkward eating with us, you can just order a few dishes to eat with your brother on the side. Today is your brother-in-law’s treat, don’t save him any money. Once Lanyue goes public, wanting your brother-in-law to treat you to a meal, he probably won’t even have the time," suddenly said the man who had been eyeing the Lanyue brand meaningfully.
To the casual listener, these words indeed sounded like a mere joke without any hidden meaning.
But Shen Mianmian detected the nuance in his words and gave the man a serious look. His gaze appeared decent. Seated at the head of the table, he seemed to be the most important person present, if she wasn’t mistaken.
He mentioned that Wan Dongcheng was a shareholder of Lanyue — this statement likely wasn’t baseless gossip, probably stemming from Wan Dongcheng’s own boasting at the table.
"Brother-in-law, when did you become a shareholder? I’ve never heard Brother Li mention it," she feigned surprise.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards Wan Dongcheng. They hadn’t doubted the initial claim about Wan Dongcheng’s shares, but now, instigated by Shen Mianmian’s words, suspicions began to rise.
"Why would I discuss this with a child?" Wan Dongcheng felt somewhat guilty.
