He casually answered Xu Keke's question.
"So that means all the shares here belong to the Li family?"
“No,” Li Shi answered decisively, “All the shares belong to my cousin. The Li family doesn’t have much money anymore, only my cousin has money. My cousin has the dowry left to her by her mother. Now the Li family and the Chen family are both supported by my cousin.”
