154: Chapter 154 My Sister Awakens!

Chen Ling did not expect that the moment she answered the phone, she would be interrogated by Shen Yan.

She frowned and shot back at Shen Yan, "What? What do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about."

Shen Yan let out a cold laugh and said sarcastically, "You don't know what I'm talking about? It seems you've been so busy dating that you don't even want your brain anymore."

He rarely spoke so harshly.

Usually, when his words were harsh, it meant he was truly enraged.

Chen Ling also sensed something was wrong. She frowned and asked Shen Yan, "What exactly are you talking about? Just say what you have to say!"

Shen Yan stopped beating around the bush and directly told her about the conversation he just had with Yang Jin.

"I know we can't stand each other, but our issues are between us. By what right do you use Youyou as leverage to demand money from me?!"

"Who is using Youyou as leverage against you..."

Halfway through her sentence, Chen Ling was struck dumb because she suddenly remembered what she had told Yang Jin last night.

"So Yang Jin looked for you today?"

Hearing that she was still so calm, Shen Yan could barely hold back.

Full of anger, he questioned Chen Ling, "Chen Ling, what exactly do you think of our child?!"

Chen Ling pursed her lips and remained silent.

She didn't think she didn't love the child.

It was just that right now, for her, her career was far more important than the child or love.

"Shen Yan, I don't want to explain anything to you. Just tell me directly if you are willing to pay for the custody."

"If you're not willing, it doesn't matter. I won't beg you to buy it. It's just that from now on, don't ever talk to me..."

Before she could finish, Shen Yan interrupted her.

"You must have received the lawsuit notice from the court, right?"

"I won't pay the money, but I will definitely fight the lawsuit. No matter how much manpower or money it costs, I will fight this case to the end with you."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Chen Ling could not hold back.

"Why must you fight me in court! Didn't I already say it? As long as you are willing to pay, I am willing to directly give you custody."

Shen Yan rolled his eyes.

"What do you mean 'give'? I am Youyou's father. If I want custody, I don't need you to give it to me at all!"

At this point, both of them were enraged.

"Fine. Since you say that, then we have nothing more to discuss. That's it."

After saying that, Chen Ling directly hung up the phone.

"CEO Chen, should we continue negotiating with them on our side?"

As soon as she hung up, Chen Ling heard her secretary ask.

Her eyes darted around, and she turned to her secretary saying, "Negotiate! We definitely need to negotiate! But we still need to pressure them further on the price."

Hearing this, the secretary's expression changed several times.

"CEO Chen, I have already tried my best to lower the price, but they are top talents in the field of Artificial Intelligence. To hire them, the salary must be at least eight figures."

"This price is already the most favorable one they can offer us. I think..."

Chen Ling raised her hand and interrupted the secretary.

"I don't want what you think; I want what I think. So what if they are the top talents in the field of Artificial Intelligence?"

"If they fail to produce results, I have to bear all those costs. Forget it, there's no point in explaining this to you. Tell me where they are, and I will talk to them myself!"

Since she had said that, what else could the secretary say? She could only nod and agree.

... On the other side.

Shen Yan had just hung up the phone.

Liu Hui called him.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger he felt towards Chen Ling, and answered the phone.

"Hello, why are you calling me at this time?"

Liu Hui keenly noticed that Shen Yan's tone was off.

She frowned and asked Shen Yan, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shen Yan didn't want to hide it from Liu Hui, so he told her everything that had just happened.

"What?!"

"They actually want to use Youyou's custody to demand money from you?!"

Shen Yan gave a bitter smile and replied, "Yes. You also think it's completely outrageous, right?"

Liu Hui opened her mouth, hesitating whether to speak.

"Actually... actually, some things are awkward for me to say, but I think Chen Ling might truly not love Youyou that much."

Shen Yan didn't want to discuss the matter with her. He hummed in response and directly skipped the topic.

"By the way, what did you call me about?"

When this topic came up, Liu Hui's attitude clearly became much more cheerful.

"How can you ask me that? Didn't I already tell you last night? I'm going to see Xiao Ya today."

Xiao Ya!

Shen Yan's eyes lit up.

It was all that Yang Jin's fault. He inexplicably chatted with him, causing him to forget about this matter.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally forgot about this. Are you with Xiao Ya right now?"

Liu Hui smiled, "Yes, I am at the medical center right now. Xiao Ya is undergoing an examination. Once her check-up is done, I'll hand the phone to her."

Just as she finished speaking, Shen Ya's voice came from Liu Hui's end.

"Sister Hui, are you talking to my brother?"

The voice he hadn't heard in a long time made Shen Yan's eyes redden immediately.

His voice trembling, he asked Liu Hui, "Is... is that my sister?"

Liu Hui didn't speak, directly handing the phone to Shen Ya.

"Brother, is that you? Brother?"

After confirming it was his sister, Shen Yan completely broke down.

Tears streamed down his face as he wiped them away and said to his sister, "It's me, it's me, I am your brother."

Hearing this, Shen Ya instantly collapsed.

She cried as she said to Shen Yan, "Brother! Brother! Dad and Mom..."

Shen Yan replied choked up, "They're gone, they're all gone. Now it's just up to the two of us..."

The two of them cried over the phone for a long time.

It wasn't until the sun set that they managed to compose their emotions.

"Alright, we'll talk about the other things when you get back. Make sure you listen carefully to the doctors over there."

His sister Shen Ya replied, "Don't worry, Brother. Everything is fine here. The doctor said I'll be able to return with Sister Hui soon."

Shen Yan smiled.

"Good. Focus on your treatment there. I'll wait for you to come back in the country."

The warm conversation ended.

Liu Hui took the phone and said to Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, don't worry. I will definitely keep my promise and bring our sister back safely."

Shen Yan was so moved that he couldn't speak for a while.

Liu Hui was truly wonderful.

If she hadn't taken Shen Ya to Country D for treatment,

His sister wouldn't have recovered so early, and his career wouldn't be flourishing like it is now.

"Thank you, Liu Hui."

Hearing this, Liu Hui sighed deeply and said, "Why are you falling back into your old habits again?"
