After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 620: Attaching to the Powerful and the Rich Part II
Shen Qi worried that his sister might say something unpleasant and quickly stepped forward: “Sister, have you come for me? I’ll pack up and leave with you right away.”
He just hoped that his proud sister, who always looked down on the lower class, would not offend his Master.
But his wishes were doomed to be unfulfilled.
Shen Yan frowned at Mengyu: “Is this the girl who has held my brother back so he doesn’t even want to return home?”
Unlike Second who originally had the worst grades, her brother Shen Qi had always been the top student. Therefore, she did not believe that this girl could provide any assistance to her brother.
Moreover, seeing that her brother chose not to live in the townhouse they had bought for him, but instead came to reside in this simple courtyard in the suburbs, it showed how much attraction this girl had for him.
That was certainly not what she wanted to see.
Her brother was a top student, the phoenixes of the grand courtyards could not catch his eye, so how could he be lured away by this sparrow?
Her own brother was not someone that common girls from the countryside with pretty faces trying to latch onto someone of high status could even dream of. Only noble girls like their own young aunt could match her brother.
Of course, she would never admit that the ethereal quality and extraordinary beauty of this girl made her jealous.
Shen Yan took out an envelope: “You’re Jiang Mengyu who has accommodated my brother for a few months of exam preparation, aren’t you? This is for my brother’s food and accommodation expenses during these months, totaling one thousand yuan. Take it, and consider any extra as a reward for you.”
Shen Yan said, placing the envelope on the table in the kindergarten hall that everyone used as an activity room.
Her brother had stayed in this courtyard for several months, generally speaking, the rent would be around five or six yuan a month.
As for the cost of food, they had Food Tickets, so there was no need to buy expensive grains.
Regarding eating vegetables, even if you eat meat every day, the meat in the farmers’ market costs about 1.2 to 1.3 yuan per jin. Even if my brother eats meat every day, he can’t eat two yuan worth a day, and the monthly cost of food is capped at sixty yuan.
That is to say, her brother’s living expenses here would be seventy yuan a month, which was already very generous.
Now, by presenting one thousand yuan, it was like using money to belittle people, making it clear to this country bumpkin that the Shen Family was not any average household, and definitely not a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter.
One thousand yuan was a huge sum in the countryside, and this Jiang Mengyu probably never even saw that much money in her life, right?
Mengyu had already seen through Shen Yan’s demeanor, and understood her intentions.
Originally, if Shen Yan could have spoken to her with a mindset of equality, Mengyu would have been willing to kindly explain things to her, but the disdain in Shen Yan’s eyes had filled her with anger.
Seeing Shen Yan smearing his Master with money, Shen Qi became furious. But just as he was about to speak, Huilan held him back: “Don’t say anything yet, Master will handle it.”
But how could Shen Qi bear it? He grabbed the envelope and threw it at his sister: “Sister, what do you mean by this?”
It seemed that his reluctance to return to the capital after a few extra days with the Master had worried his family. Upon her arrival, his sister assumed that the Master, like those girls in the Xiang Courtyard trying to climb the social ladder, fancied him and was holding him back!
But could his Master be trifled with?
His Master’s storage bag had tens of thousands readily available; would she be interested in this one thousand yuan?
The real issue is that she dared to use the word “reward” for his Master?
One word “reward” revealed her attitude: this one thousand yuan was a warning to his Master to not entangle with him in the future. But it also insulted his Master!
Who did she think she was, and who did she think his Master was?
