Chapter 236

“Greedy cat, I have my eyes on this meat,” Xu Wan was the first to speak.

“You speak as though you’re not greedy. I have my eyes on this meat as well. Let go of it,” Mo Yan stuck out her tongue at Xu Wan.

“Hey! You’re only left with one hand, and you still want to snatch the meat from me! What a glutton!”

“So you’re aware that I’m injured? Then hurry and leave the meat!”

Just as the two of them were staring at each other, a piece of perfectly-roasted meat was placed on Mo Yan’s plate.

“Eat this.”

Mo Yan sniffed at the fragrant piece of meat and answered obediently, “Okay.”

Xu Wan turned to Xu Tian with a wooden expression. “Sister Xu, I feel that I’m full. I’m stuffed with dog food.”

“Oh? So you’re not going to eat it? You can give it to me,” Xu Tian said bluntly.

Xu Wan glared at Xu Tian. “It was not easy to snatch this away, so I won’t give it to you.”

Xu Tian found Xu Tian’s act of fooling around funny, and her usual aloof expression eased up.

“Enough! Even eating can’t stop your mouth,” Xu Tian said as she picked up a piece of meat for Xu Wan.

“Thank you, sister Xu.”

The four of them were having a lively conversation. Xu Tian was roasting meat for Xu Wan, while Luo Tao was doing the same for Mo Yan. For some reason, they began to compare themselves. It was not long before Mo Yan’s and Xu Wan’s plates were filled with meat.

Just when Mo Yan was about to say that it was enough, Li Guoguo spoke up. “Brother-in-law, can you help me roast a few slices of sweet potato?”

Mo Yan had been eating happily and had forgotten about Li Guoguo. Looking at the small plate of meat, Mo Yan felt a little guilty. She quickly put the sweet potato slices in front of Li Guoguo and placed a few on the grilling grate.

“I’ll bake it for you, Guoguo.”

Just then, Li Guoguo asked about the stocks.

“Brother-in-law, can you help me to see which stocks are doing better recently? I’d also earn a little extra money.”

“Which stocks do you have in mind?” Luo Tao asked.

“I think the outlook is better for Senhua, Qingyu and Lemon.”

Li Guoguo’s eyes lit up as she looked at Luo Tao and spoke eloquently. Although Mo Yan did not understand her analysis, she still felt that it made sense.

Luo Tao didn’t interrupt her analysis, which gave Li Guoguo a lot of courage. She started to speak up more.

After Li Guoguo finished her analysis, she looked at Luo Tao with sparkling eyes and waited for him to give her his evaluation.

Luo Tao was silent for a while and frowned slightly. “I want to know your opinion on these stocks. I’m listening to the suggestions of the analysts online.”

As soon as he said this, Li Guoguo’s face turned pale. The other three people also looked enlightened. It turned out that Li Guoguo’s earlier words were the suggestions of the analysts.

Luo Tao glanced at his phone and said to Mo Yan, “I’m going to the washroom.”

“Okay.”

After Luo Tao left, Mo Yan sighed. “Guoguo, the stock market is really not as simple as you think. You can’t just blindly follow the advice of others and speculate in the stock market on your own.”

Li Guoguo’s face was ashen and looked as though she had not heard Mo Yan speak. Xu Tian and Xu Wan were calm and silent.

“Let’s not look too far back in the past. The flash crash 10 years ago and the stock market crash five years ago. Since you want to speculate in the stock market, you have to understand a little about it.”

“I, I need to go to the washroom.” After saying that, Li Guoguo flew from her seat.

Mo Yan sighed. “The stock market incident this time is really not a good thing.”

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at Mo Yan. “You still have the heart to care about her! You don’t even know that someone has her eyes on your husband. Be more careful!”

“Huh?” Mo Yan looked at Xu Wan in confusion.

“Using the excuse of stocks to meet your husband, do you really think she wants to buy stocks?”

“What do you mean?” Mo Yan frowned.

“Think about it! If this Li Guoguo really just wants to earn pocket money, she could do what I did and let your husband buy it for you, and then purchase the same stocks. Why would she pester you to ask your husband to come out after you’ve repeatedly rejected her?”

Xu Wan rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue.

“No way! Isn’t Li Guoguo in a relationship? He even said that he would take her out to have fun.”

“They broke up. I heard that they broke up after they had a fight,” Xu Tian replied calmly.

“There are so many men. I’m already married to Luo Tao. There’s no need for me to think about my husband.”

“That’s just empty talk. When they come back later, count how many times she peeks at your husband.”
