After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 624 Climbing the Dragon and Attaching to the Phoenix (Part 6)
Shen Qi was panicked.
He felt that his Master no longer wanted him, blaming him for causing her trouble!
He used to be the most arrogant one, ignoring everyone, and it was only after becoming familiar with Mengyu and the others that he realized he was indeed too conceited.
The self that he used to wrap in cold arrogance was actually nothing in front of his Master, right?
Meeting someone like Jiang Mengyu, an expert mingling in the mundane world, must have been due to burning high incense in his past life, right?
But now, because of his elder sister’s involvement, Master no longer wanted him!
How could that be?
He thought Master would punish his elder sister, but unexpectedly, it was he who was being punished!
He suddenly threw himself in front of Mengyu, grabbing her sleeves: “No, Master, please don’t abandon me, I—”
Mengyu coldly said, “It’s not that I don’t want you as a disciple, but your sister, who right from the start accused me of entangling with you and currying favor with you as a noble son. It seems we can’t clarify our accounts and sever our ties unless I become a person who climbs to power through connections.”
Shen Yan, upon hearing Mengyu’s words, that as long as the brother returns the item he bought, it would settle a debt of 100,000, was quite tempted.
The Shen Family was a distinguished family, having relied on salaries for many years, and even when she got married and spent one thousand five hundred-plus to buy a color TV for her dowry, it felt like a major expense.
And this Jiang Mengyu, daring to say that just returning the item he bought would redeem 100,000 for Shen Qi?
She eagerly said, “Little Qi, give it to her, return the item to her!”
Shen Qi became furious, suddenly turning and shouting at his sister, “Leave, get out, you’re a married woman, you have no right to control my future! I’d rather break off relations with you and our family than sever ties with my Master!”
In his view, his sister always had the ultimate say at home, her opinions representing more of the family’s views, thus prompting him to make such a statement.
However, Shen Qi’s actions, in Shen Yan’s view, made Jiang Mengyu even more fearsome, to the extent her beloved brother would say he would sever ties with her!
It was then that she noticed her brother’s address to Jiang Mengyu.
“You call her Master? You call someone younger than you Master? You recognize a female student, who grew up destitute and even whose father is of ill-repute, as your Master?”
Mengyu’s eyes narrowed: it seemed the Shen Family had investigated her.
But since they had investigated so thoroughly, did they really not find out about her relationship with Gu Dongxing?
If they had found out her connection with Gu Dongxing, how could they still worry about what relations she might have with Shen Qi?
She looked at Shen Yan; no, she wasn’t the one who investigated her, rather someone had deliberately revealed some information about her to Shen Yan!
Looking at Shen Qi again, she could see the deep fear in his eyes—he was terrified of severing the master-disciple relationship!
Shen Qi, like Wu Jiangsheng and others, had never formally been taken as a disciple, not because they didn’t want to, but because Jiang Mengyu didn’t accept. From her rule that they should call her older sister instead of Master, it was clear.
He always thought, as long as he worked hard enough, one day, Master would surely acknowledge him as her disciple.
But now, with such an uproar by his own sister, let alone becoming Master’s official disciple, even preserving their current relationship might be impossible.
How could he not be afraid?
