Chapter 626: Donât Come Back to the Shen Family Anymore (Part 1)
It wasnât until he returned to the Shen Family that Shen Qi stopped ignoring Shen Yan; he simply greeted Old Master Shen and then retreated to his own room without coming out again.
Old Master Shen felt that something was amiss. Wasnât his grandson supposed to come over, report on his studies over the past few years, show him his university acceptance letter, receive his praise, and then go back to his room with a smile?
He stopped Shen Yan, who also wanted to leave, and asked, "Yanyan, did something happen when you went to pick up your brother?"
Initially, Shen Yan intended to hide the truth, but under her grandfatherâs penetrating gaze, she still recounted the events of the trip to Old Master Shen.
Of course, she selectively emphasized the details that were favorable to her, particularly how that girl had flung her out of the yard with a flick of her hand.
Feeling that she might have done something wrong, she could only highlight the other partyâs rudeness to suggest that the other party was no good either.
Old Master Shen was shocked, "What did you say? Qiâer has taken a Master? And she is a martial arts expert?"
Shen Yan was frustrated. Shouldnât the focus be that the damn servant girl had bullied her?
Yet, under Old Master Shenâs oppressive gaze, she had no choice but to nod, "In the last semester, Shen Qi formed a study group with a few students. They lived in a big house in the suburbs. I heard him call one of the girl students Master."
She paused before adding, "It was his hateful Master who threw me out of the yard."
"How did she lay hands on you?"
"Actually, she didnât touch me directly." Shen Yan recalled, "She just waved her hand at me, and I was flung out. But it must have been her doing.
The most detestable part is that I forbade her to pester Qiâer, and she actually said, if you want to sever ties, pay her one hundred million Yuan. Otherwise, let Qiâer return the item to her.
But Qiâer refused to give the item back to her, pleading with her not to reject him. Luckily, that girl didnât insist on me paying one hundred million Yuan.
Whatâs outrageous is that Qiâer ended up crying and knelt down to kowtow to the female student! Ugh, I am so angry. He has lost all the face of our Shen Family."
Mr. Shenâs expression was unreadable, "You may leave now, and ask Qiâer to come to my study."
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Shen Yan left, but Old Master Shen fell into deep thought.
What thing could be worth one hundred million Yuan? That his grandson would firmly refuse to return it?
And even cry and kowtow to someone?
He knew how proud his grandson was. For someone so proud to kneel and kowtow, that girl must be no ordinary person.
The door was knocked, and Old Master Shen said, "Come in." Shen Qi pushed the door and entered.
"Sit down." Old Master Shen gestured to the wooden sofa beside him.
Shen Qi sat down, hanging his head and staying silent.
"Show me the thing you spent one hundred million Yuan on," Old Master Shen said.
Shen Qi suddenly looked up at Old Master Shen, "This is something my Master gave me."
"I know, I swear to you, I donât want it for myself, I just want to see whatâs worth one hundred million Yuan."
Shen Qi hesitated for a moment but eventually took out the storage bag from close to his body.
However, what he didnât realize was that by being so honest, he had lost his Masterâs trust. And even the memory of the Cultivation Technique his Master had originally intended to leave him.
Old Master Shen looked at the light, wallet-like grey bag, "This thing is worth one hundred million Yuan?"
Shen Qi nodded, "One hundred million Yuan is not enough to buy it." After hesitating a moment, he added, "This one hundred million, I will pay back to my Master in the future."
Apparently, he didnât find the idea of earning one hundred million Yuan to be difficult at all.
