After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 623 Climbing the Dragon and Attaching to the Phoenix (Part 5)
Shen Yan’s mind was still occupied with thoughts of those pearls.
The country girl said those pearls were worth over ten thousand each, and that was just the price of ordinary white pearls, let alone these were pink pearls!
This pink pearl, being so large, could fetch a price of at least one hundred thousand if auctioned abroad!
It was unknown how many pearls Shen Qi had actually eaten.
Yet, she never considered that if she wanted her brother to sever ties with others, why should she expect pearls from them!
Mengyu sneered lightly: “Since you insist on offering me compensation, then let me calculate it for you. Although the food your brother has eaten in the past three days is something you couldn’t afford to eat even if you had the money, I won’t count the cost since it was offered by me as a host. However—”
Upon hearing that the so-called “Dragon liver” would not be charged for, Shen Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But what Mengyu said next terrified her.
“Even if the Dragon Meat and Dragon Liver from the Pearl Banquet are free of charge, I’m afraid you still can’t afford the debt your brother owes me.”
“Just tell me,” Shen Yan refused to believe that her brother could have possibly racked up such a massive debt.
“Let’s not talk about the rest, just help Shen Qi repay the one billion RMB he owes me,” Mengyu said coldly.
“One billion, are you robbing me?!”
Shen Yan could no longer maintain her dignity and elegance and yelled indignantly.
Mengyu’s red lips parted slightly: “Xiao Yue, show her our company ledger.”
“Yes, President Jiang.” Hearing the instruction to retrieve the ledger, Xiao Yue quickly changed her form of address.
She took out the ledger and handed it to Mengyu.
Mengyu flipped to a certain page in the ledger, which recorded a debt of one billion RMB by Shen Qi, amounting to a negative balance of one hundred million points, complete with Shen Qi’s signature.
“Here, take a look. Wasn’t your brother the one who owes me a billion?”
Shen Yan looked at the ledger and it indeed contained a record of Shen Qi borrowing one billion RMB.
If it was just the other party’s record, she could fully argue that it was falsely registered, but the problem was Shen Qi’s signature was right there.
On further inspection, the ledger also recorded numerous times Shen Qi’s income, yet so far, it totaled less than one hundred thousand, and there was only one expenditure that amounted to a billion.
She wanted to check other pages, but Mengyu had already pulled the ledger away.
“What do you think? I haven’t lied to you, have I? So, if you want to clear up your brother’s relationship with us, just come up with one billion. That way, we will have nothing to do with each other in the future.”
Mengyu’s eyes carried a mocking gleam.
“You… you have ulterior motives—what on earth could my brother have to owe one billion?” Shen Yan said resentfully.
“The thing your brother asked for is worth far more than a billion,” Mengyu laughed. “Ask him if he’s willing to return what he took.”
She said this and lightly patted Shen Qi: “Shen Qi, your sister wants to sever ties with us, so please return what you took, and I will cash out the points you’ve earned over the past few months for you. You’ve earned less than one hundred thousand points in total, but since you put in one thousand yuan as an initial investment, let’s settle it with one hundred thousand.”
She suddenly remembered when she first met Shen Qi, he was also cold and proud, believing that none of the students in the whole school were worthy of being his friends, always keeping to himself.
Afterward, it was him who reached out to help her, and as they interacted more, they became familiar and gradually started on good terms.
Indeed, getting involved with certain aristocratic families was always troublesome.
They sat on their high thrones, looking down on everyone else through their nostrils.
They were always self-centered, believing the world revolved around them.
The moment you tried to get close to them, they would assume you were looking to benefit from them, wishing you were ten thousand miles away.
If Shen Qi was willing to back out, she wasn’t keen on dealing with this big trouble!
