The middle-aged couple assumed Bai Youwei was a spoiled young lady who didn't understand the gravity of their circumstances. They didn't take her words to heart. They instead turned to Shen Mo to ask, "We are about to have a meeting at the restaurant, would you like to join us?"
Shen Mo glanced at Bai Youwei and casually asked, "What kind of meeting?"
"Just a gathering to discuss and strategize," the couple responded amiably. "More hands make lighter work. A group brainstorming can be much more effective than worrying alone. But if you don't want to come, it's absolutely fine, we will not insist."
Shen Mo nodded, politely saying, "Alright, we'll join you in a bit."
The middle-aged couple, now reassured, didn't say much further and left together.
