Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Meng Tang rolled her eyes so hard they almost disappeared into the back of her head.

Could Meng Yurou's attempt to seduce Song Guanting be any more obvious, right in front of her?

The alluring glances she cast, seemingly both welcoming and rejecting, were clearly visible even across the Atlantic Ocean.

Song Guanting didn't even flinch.

With thin lips slightly parted, the colder the tone, the more insidious the words spoken.

"Who do you think you are that I would give you face?"

This is a declarative sentence; Meng Yurou's face, in Song Guanting's eyes, doesn't even deserve a question.

Meng Yurou's alluring expression froze instantly, and she almost broke down on the spot.

Meng Tang, however, didn't hold back at all and burst out laughing.

She feigned affectation and playfully punched Song Guanting's chest with her little fist.

"Honey, don't be so mean to my nominally adopted sister. Look at the way she's giving you that she's practically shaking off her false eyelashes. She's really putting in a lot of effort."

After being reminded by Meng Tang, the others also noticed Meng Yurou's obviously abnormal gaze.

Whether Meng Tang and Song Guanting's relationship is harmonious or not is their own business.

They are a legally married couple, and Meng Yurou, as the sister-in-law, actually flirted with her brother-in-law?

They've completely blatantly displayed their shamelessness!

Meng Yurou's face turned ugly, and of course she wouldn't admit it. "Sister, you've misunderstood. I... I was just blinded by the pool water. I was just blinking, and I didn't mean anything else!"

Meng Tang said "Oh," and then asked, "Did I say what you meant? But you said you didn't mean anything else, so what exactly do you mean?"

Are you trying to play tongue twisters here?

Meng Yurou was furious.

She could only look at Meng Deqian pitifully and aggrievedly, "Dad, I was just thinking that today is my sister's and my birthday, and there are so many guests here. If things get out of hand, it might have a bad impact."

Meng Yurou looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, yet she was still thinking of the Meng family's reputation.

Meng Deqian coughed twice, clenching his fist. "Guanting, since Yu Rou also said that what happened just now was a misunderstanding, then please do me a favor. Today is also Xiao Tang's birthday. Let's celebrate Xiao Tang and Yu Rou's birthdays first, so as not to miss the time, okay?"

"What do I care about the birthdays of irrelevant people?"

Song Guanting didn't even spare Meng Yurou a glance, only looking down at his little wife who was firmly protected by his side.

"go home?"

Just as Meng Tang was about to nod, Meng Deqian quickly stepped forward and whispered two words: "Shares."

"I'll chat with him for a bit."

Meng Tang had been waiting for Meng Deqian to be forced into this situation, and she quickly blinked her almond-shaped eyes at Song Guanting.

Song Guanting didn't ask his wife what she wanted to do, he just hummed in response and withdrew his hand from her waist.

Meng Tang took two steps forward and said succinctly, "I want 40% of the shares."

Meng Deqian's eyes widened in disbelief and anger: "Why don't you just rob someone? Meng Tang, don't think that just because Song Guanting is here, you have a backer and can climb over my head!"

Meng Tang wasn't afraid at all; instead, she shrugged indifferently.

"Alright, since the negotiations have failed, there's nothing more to say between us. I'll take my powerful husband and leave this place of trouble. I'll never set foot in the Meng family again. Consider me, your daughter, as water spilled from a cup. Go and live happily ever after with your beloved adopted daughter."

After saying that, Meng Tang turned around and was about to walk back to Song Guanting's side.

Meng Deqian had lived half his life and had never been threatened like this before.

But for the sake of business, Meng Deqian had no choice but to back down.

After all, he had already experienced his own daughter's temper.

He dares to hit people in public, and when he goes berserk, he doesn't care about anything.

She said she would sever ties with the Meng family, and she might actually keep her word.

Meng Deqian was not concerned about the daughter, but rather about his relationship with the Song family.

"Forty percent is too much. Apart from the shares I hold, the remaining shareholders each own twenty percent. You and Yu Rou would each get ten percent."

"After I retire, I'll give you 30% of what I have, which should be enough, right?"

Based on this calculation, Meng Tang owns 40% of the shares, which is a very high percentage in a company and gives her enough influence.

But Meng Tang scoffed, "Wasn't my behavior obvious enough today? You want me and your adopted daughter to split the shares equally, each taking forty percent?"

"Kong Rong sharing pears is a story, but reality is often selfish and cruel. Since you love your adopted daughter so much, then there's nothing more for us to talk about."

Does she seem like a pushover, someone who would compromise and share with others?

In this world, apart from her best friend, no one can take a piece of meat from her mouth!

Meng Deqian gritted his teeth: "I can only add another five percent!"

Meng Tang didn't even look at him, and turned to leave again.

"Ten percent, that's the most I can offer. This is from my shares, and it's already my biggest concession!"

Meng Tang smiled slightly, "Deal, but words are not enough. Let's take advantage of this auspicious day and transfer the shares together."

Meng Deqian's smile vanished, but he still agreed: "Okay, but you must facilitate a project between Qiannuo and Baishi, otherwise the conditions we just discussed will be null and void."

"I can put in a good word for you with Song Guanting, but whether the project will succeed in the end depends on whether Qiannuo is qualified to do so."

“Song Guanting is a businessman, not a philanthropist, and I, his cheap wife, am far from being someone he would do a losing business for. You’ve been in the business world for so many years, you don’t need me to explain such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, do you?”

If Meng Deqian had any hesitation before, it was only after seeing Song Guanting's protectiveness of Meng Tang that he changed his mind.

He was very confident that as long as Meng Tang was willing to ask, the project had a more than 90% chance of success.

So he agreed without much hesitation.

After agreeing on the terms, Meng Tang returned to Song Guanting's side and affectionately took his arm.

“Honey, since you’re already here, my dear father, he specially organized this banquet for me today. It’s officially a birthday banquet, but it’s actually a family reunion banquet.”

"You're going to introduce me to all the guests as the Meng family's biological daughter, and you're going to announce that 30% of Qiannuo Media's shares will be transferred to my name, right, Dad?"

Given Meng Deqian's cunning and shrewd nature, in addition to putting things in writing, he would also exert some pressure from public opinion.

With a two-pronged approach, and all in front of Song Guanting, Meng Deqian won't be able to back out even if he wants to.

When Meng Yurou heard that he actually wanted to give Meng Tang 30% of Qiannuo's shares, she immediately became anxious.

Although Meng Deqian looked unhappy, he still forced himself to say that it was true.

When it was time to go on stage, Meng Yurou, who had just changed into her evening gown, also wanted to go up.

Meng Tang raised an eyebrow.

"What, are you going to adopt Meng Yurou as your own daughter too?"
