Qiao Lian immediately reached out for Shen Liangchuan’s hand when she saw this.

He was probably very upset because of how his childhood friend had betrayed him.

She bit her lip and looked at the other two men. At a loss, she finally said to Shen Liangchuan, “Honey, I need to go to the restroom. Will you come with me?”

Obviously, she was trying to move Shen Liangchuan away from this situation so that he would not be subject to these taunts.

Shen Liangchuan knitted his brow. Seeing that she was trying to protect him, he stood up.

As they were about to leave, Lu Nanze stopped them.

He pointed at Li Chenyu and said to Shen Liangchuan, “Mr. Shen, you two are childhood buddies after all so, even if a collaboration couldn’t work out this time, can’t there be a next time?”

“Why don’t you take a seat? Let’s have a drink together. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you holding a grudge against Mr. Li?”

He was sowing seeds of discord.

Qiao Lian boiled with anger at what this vicious man was saying.

She bit her lip and said, “Lu Nanze, you’re too much!”

“How is that being too much? Mr. Li and Mr. Shen are merely having a small disagreement, and I’m here to mediate.”

Lu Nanze’s reply was simply infuriating.

Even Qiao Lian, who usually had a good comeback, was speechless by his shamelessness.

Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and sat on the sofa. Turning towards Li Chenyu, he said, “Very well then. Let’s hear what you have to say.”

Li Chenyu cleared his throat and looked slightly embarra.s.sed. “Brother Shen… I’m really sorry about what happened this time.”

Shen Liangchuan raised his eyebrow again.

Then the man immediately laughed as he said, “Why don’t I buy you a meal next time? So just forgive me, please.”

Lu Nanze said at once, “Why wait till next time? It’s always better to fix a date than to leave things to chance. Let’s do it today.”

Li Chenyu laughed heartily and said, “Fine. Let’s go for dinner after the function!”

Lu Nanze s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Shen Liangchuan and asked, “Mr. Shen, do you dare go?”

Not if he would like to go, but if he dared to…

He was making it difficult for Shen Liangchuan to back out.

The three men went back and forth, exchanging verbal blows.

Listening to them, Qiao Lian was anxious for Shen Liangchuan.

But Shen Liangchuan was unruffled as always, as though nothing could anger him.

Seeing that he was so calm, Lu Nanze turned suddenly to Li Chenyu and said, “Mr. Li, I’ll fulfill my promise to you right now.”

Immediately, Li Chenyu smiled and replied, “Good, just as well. I can use the money for dinner!”

Lu Nanze reached into his pocket and drew out a check, saying, “As long as you keep to our deal, these 50 million are yours.”

He signed the check and then pa.s.sed it to Li Chenyu.

Qiao Lian was livid.

Lu Nanze was a true abuser!

It was bad enough that he was making deals under the table, but now he was making such transactions in their presence.

He was blatantly trying to embarra.s.s Shen Liangchuan!

She had an uncontrollable urge to scratch at his face.

At this point, Qiao Lian turned to Shen Liangchuan, hoping to offer a few words of support. However, she noticed that his expression was calm and steady. His eyes were trained on Li Chenyu.

As for Li Chenyu, the moment he had the check in his hand, he jumped up and ran over to Shen Liangchuan, saying, “Brother Shen, 50 million. Aren’t you going to praise me?!”

Qiao Lian was stunned by his words.

What sort of situation was this?

Shen Liangchuan got up from his seat in one graceful movement and glanced at Lu Nanze, who had by now narrowed his eyes in suspicion. He said, “I’ll keep the 50 million. As for dinner, do you dare come? I have a few other friends to introduce to you.”
