Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Look down on others with dog’s eyes.

Wan Dongcheng laughed disdainfully and looked at Shen Mianmian, saying, "She is the sworn sister my younger brother-in-law recognized. Speaking of which, we are somewhat related, I could be considered her brother-in-law."

"So you’re my brother-in-law!" Shen Mianmian, who had been about to leave, paused her steps upon hearing Wan Dongcheng’s words, as if she had just recognized him, "I’m sorry! We’ve only met two or three times, not very familiar, so I didn’t recognize you immediately."

With that comment, she had directly clarified the nature of their relationship.

To think she hadn’t picked up on the sarcasm in Wan Dongcheng’s words, as if he thought she was deliberately clinging to the Li Family as a mighty tree, looking down on her.

In reality, it was him who was like a parasite wanting to dwell on that mighty tree.

Wan Dongcheng: "..."

That girl was so slick that day at the Li Family, sweet-talking as if her mouth was coated with honey, but now she was deliberately distancing herself from him. Did she look down on him, thinking he wasn’t worth currying favor with?

Looking down on someone like a dog sizing up people.

Even though he himself looked down on Shen Mianmian, Wan Dongcheng felt particularly aggrieved when he saw her not currying favor with him or looking up to him.

"Indeed we’re not too familiar. I generally don’t like to cozy up to others. People usually come to me. If Shiping hadn’t specifically discussed it with me and asked me to go, I wouldn’t have bothered. All this business about recognizing sworn sisters or brothers, I’ve never been a fan of it. To put it plainly, it’s just about finding a strong backer. In name a sworn sister, but in reality, who knows what the relationship is."

If Shen Mianmian wasn’t pretty, he wouldn’t believe Li Yue would recognize her as his sworn sister.

What about being good at studying, the best in the city?

Perhaps Li Yue pulled some strings, slipped her the exam questions in advance.

The few people present picked up on Wan Dongcheng’s insinuations and couldn’t help but frown, somewhat disapproving of his attitude. This girl looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen, and she was even addressing him as brother-in-law; for him to make such underhanded comments was akin to bullying her, wasn’t it?

Besides, her real brother was sitting right there.

Dajun had been ready to stand up as soon as Wan Dongcheng spoke his first sentence but was stopped by Shen Mianmian’s look.

He was still married to Li Shiping, and she had no intention of getting a divorce. If the two of them made a scene, it would put Li Shiping in a difficult position.

Of course, she hadn’t expected Wan Dongcheng to say such things in front of her either. Did he think a young girl would be so easy to bully?

"Only a person with corrupt thoughts would think everything so vilely. Brother-in-law, you are a university graduate, a cultured man. Surely your thoughts wouldn’t be like that, right?"

It was no secret that the Li Family didn’t think much of Wan Dongcheng, but she couldn’t be the one to say it. The Li Family would certainly be unhappy if they heard such words from her.

Shen Mianmian was aware of this and thus didn’t invoke the Li family members to attack Wan Dongcheng.

Wan Dongcheng: "..."

He had intended to scorn her a bit, but he hadn’t expected this girl to be so sharp-tongued, turning the tables on him instead.

The others, who were meeting Wan Dongcheng for the first time and didn’t have a good impression of him, found his earlier comments somewhat over-the-line, and now seeing him put in his place, they couldn’t help but feel a bit entertained.

Seeing the atmosphere grow a bit tense, Dazhuang quickly tried to smooth things over with a chuckle, "Young lady, since we’re all family, why not call your brother over to sit and have a bite together?"

After saying this, he introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Dazhuang, I’m Dongcheng’s classmate."

Since this was Li Yue’s sworn sister, he did not dare to offend her.
