Fang Qiuwen looked at Li Shengnan lovingly, "It's not your fault, why should I blame you?"
Then he turned around and said sternly, "Xiao Ling, you disappoint me so much. I was only away for half a day and you made a big mistake. I accepted you as my apprentice because you were well-behaved and obedient. Now you can't even run the store properly. You disappoint me so much."
If Xu Xiaoling had heard this at any other time, she would have panicked. Miraculously, she asked Fang Qiuwen very calmly, "Master, when will you teach me how to make clothes?"
Fang Qiuwen frowned in displeasure, "You have caused trouble and still have the nerve to bring it up. Do you still have any sense of propriety or shame? Go to your small room and reflect on yourself. You are not allowed to come out before the end of the shift."
Li Shengnan felt that something was wrong with Xu Xiaoling's condition. Usually, the junior sister listened to the master the most, but now she was talking back. Li Shengnan was a little worried that Xu Xiaoling would tell the truth in anger.
She tugged at Xu Xiaoling and whispered, "Junior sister, please say less. Apologize to Master and the matter will be over."
Xu Xiaoling shook off Li Shengnan's hand and said, "Since Master won't teach me, I will also go to the competition and be Master's assistant."
"No." Fang Qiuwen refused impatiently and looked at Xu Xiaoling with increasing displeasure.
"Junior sister, you don't even know the most basic needlework. Stop being so willful. Master's patience is limited." Li Shengnan pinched Xu Xiaoling's arm with a warning.
Xu Xiaoling didn't frown at all, and said stubbornly: "I practice at home every night. I can do what my senior sister can do. Master, give me a chance, I want to go."
"No, Shengnan has to go." Fang Qiuwen refused again, and after a moment's silence, he continued, "But since you want to learn so much, when we come back, you can learn from the master in the store for one hour every day, and you can run the store as usual the rest of the time."
The last string in her mind broke, and Xu Xiaoling was a little overwhelmed, not understanding why Fang Qiuwen was so biased.
Li Shengnan has been learning from her master, never leaving his side. She has always comforted herself that her master is testing her and honing her character, so she has always been conscientious in doing her job, listening to her master and looking after the store.
When she was watching the store selling clothes and entertaining customers, Li Shengnan was making clothes. When she frowned and complained because of her poor needlework, she just watched enviously from the side.
Now that she was finally able to learn how to make clothes, she was not happy at all. Instead, she felt ironic.
Things that were common to her were luxuries to her. She took an hour out of her shop to follow other masters in the tailor shop.
What a precious and rare opportunity, Xu Xiaoling smiled sarcastically.
"Why can my senior sister do it but I can't? Master, do you really treat me as your apprentice? In the past year or so since I came here, you have never taught me anything and have always asked me to run the store and sell clothes. Sometimes I even doubt whether I am your apprentice or a clerk."
Fang Qiuwen frowned. She had of course made a lot of concessions. After all, she accepted Xu Xiaoling because her family was rich. If you look into it, her only apprentice was Li Shengnan, so Fang Qiuwen did not feel that she was biased. Instead, she felt that Xu Xiaoling was ungrateful.
It seems that this disciple's ambition has been nurtured during this period of time, and it is time to teach him a lesson.
Fang Qiuwen shook his hand, "In that case, go away. I can't teach you."
Finally, he added, "Pay the money for the clothes before you leave."
"I didn't dirty the clothes, so I won't give it to you."
Xu Xiaoling wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and turned to leave.
"Master, are you really going to let her go?" Li Shengnan asked anxiously.
Although the store was doing good business, the master always gave away clothes as a favor, so the store had long been unable to make ends meet, and Xu Xiaoling had to use her own money to fill the gap.
Now that Xiaoling is gone, what should I do?
"She will come back on her own." Fang Qiuwen said calmly, "Are the things ready?"
"I'm ready, Master. I won't let you down."
"Um."
Xu Xiaoling's pace became faster and faster, and she ran wildly all the way. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. When she came to her senses, she was already at Sister Shu Wan's house.
