Chapter 69: A Clear Break
"... Don’t think that just because you’re married now, you’re no longer a member of the Shen family. Think about your sister when you’re out there. Why are you so close to the Ji family?" Her father, Shen Yong, babbled non-stop. His tone was filled with unconcealable anger. "You and your sister are the ones who are related by blood. It’s fine if you don’t help your sister become Maestro Lin Ran’s student, but how can you push that girl from the Ji family to become his student?!"
After the banquet that day, Shen Sisi came back crying. She said that she wasn’t chosen by Maestro Lin Ran because of Shen Hanxing. Shen Hanxing was the one who pushed out that timid younger sister of the Ji family, Ji Ning. If Ji Ning hadn’t been there, Shen Sisi would have been the first candidate to become Maestro Lin Ran’s student.
Shen Yong was furious when he heard this. Thus, he called Shen Hanxing to lecture her that just because she married into the Ji family does not mean she has truly become part of the Ji family.
"You will always be a member of the Shen family. If something happens to you, we would be the only ones to help you. If you don’t build a good relationship with your sister now and something happens to you in the future, do you think your sister will care about you? The relationship between sisters is reciprocal!" Shen Yong reprimanded her in anger.
"Now, quickly tell that girl of the Ji family to inform Maestro Lin Ran that she wants to stop learning from him. Make her tell him that she is not worthy to be his student. Then, you can recommend your sister to Maestro Lin Ran."
Shen Hanxing really could not understand. How could Shen Yong have the cheek to make this call? In the beginning, Shen Sisi was unwilling to marry Ji Yan. Thus, he tried every means to trick Shen Hanxing to return to the country and marry Ji Yan instead. The father-daughter relationship between them had long been broken.
Shen Hanxing was both angry and amused. "I’m sorry to interrupt you, but I did not know that I have to build a good relationship with Shen Sisi? I’m Mrs. Ji now, and I’m supported by the Ji family. As long as I can coax the members of the Ji family, there’s nothing that I can’t get. Why would I need the help of your insignificant Shen family?"
Shen Yong was stunned for a moment as if he didn’t expect Shen Hanxing to react like this. After a long while, he said, "Shen Hanxing, are you crazy? Did you forget your surname is Shen? How can you be so selfish?!"
"Ha, you still know that my surname is Shen? Then why didn’t you think of my surname when you conspired to marry me into the Ji family?" Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh. "I have long broken off with the Shen family. You have no right to scold me, and I have no obligation to take care of a child born from a mistress."
