203: Chapter 23 The Plan Has Changed

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "She's not serious; don't bother arguing with her."

Liu Hui smiled and replied, "Of course not. Besides, she's not unserious, just a bit lively."

Watching their back-and-forth exchange, Shen Ya's expression gradually became serious.

Shen Yan and Liu Hui didn't notice this subtle change in Shen Ya.

As soon as they finished eating, Shen Yan took his sister and drove Liu Hui home.

"We're leaving now. You should rest early."

Liu Hui nodded with a smile, "You two as well. Don't bicker constantly, you siblings need to communicate better."

Shen Yan glanced at the silent Shen Ya beside him, then turned back to Liu Hui and replied, "Don't worry, I will communicate well with her."

After saying that, he stayed put, waiting for Liu Hui to enter her house.

Only when Liu Hui's figure completely disappeared from his sight did he step on the gas pedal and head home with Shen Ya.

As soon as they reached the doorstep of their home, Shen Yan questioned Shen Ya, "Shen Xiaoya, were you incredibly rude just now?"

Shen Ya didn't answer and walked straight into the house.

"The place you moved to is too small. What about our previous home?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan pursed his lips and replied to Shen Ya, "This place is closer to the company. We'll stay here for now."

Shen Ya pouted, turned, sat on the sofa, and said to Shen Yan, "Did you cheat?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan's eyes widened immediately. He stammered and shouted at Shen Ya, "What are you talking about? What cheating!"

Saying that, he covered Youyou's ears and told her, "Youyou, go back to your room first. Dad will talk with your aunt for a bit, and then Dad will come in to read you a story."

Youyou nodded obediently, turned, and went back to her room.

After Youyou returned to her room, Shen Yan frowned and said to Shen Ya, "Can't you change your careless personality? Youyou was right here, talking about cheating?"

Shen Ya touched her nose a bit guiltily and said, "Well, I forgot Youyou was still here..."

"Besides, don't hide it from me. With the way you and Sister Hui interact, any sensible person can tell there's something going on between you two."

As she spoke, she even sighed.

"Although I really like Sister Hui, you can't do things like this, Sister-in-law..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yan directly interrupted her.

"Stop calling her Sister-in-law!"

Shen Ya froze when his words fell.

"You... what's going on? What happened?"

Originally, Shen Yan didn't intend to tell Shen Ya about this so soon.

After all, this was fundamentally an issue of his poor judgment of character.

But since Shen Ya had already discovered his relationship with Liu Hui, there was no need to hide it from her anymore.

"When you and our parents had the accident, I had already divorced Chen Ling."

Shen Ya's lips parted slightly, her face showing astonishment.

"Back then..."

Shen Yan nodded and truthfully recounted the events involving himself, Chen Ling, and what happened at that time to Shen Ya.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Damn it! What kind of lowlife trash is she?!"

Shen Ya was trembling with anger.

Seeing her like this, Shen Yan frowned and handed her a glass of water.

"I was afraid you'd react like this, which is why I didn't tell you. Control your emotions, don't collapse again."

Shen Ya glared at Shen Yan and replied, "Ptooey, ptooey, don't curse me with your crow's beak."

"You're something else too. You should have told me this as soon as I woke up, along with what happened to Mom and Dad!"

"If you had told me..."

Shen Yan interjected, "If I had told you, what would you have done? Would you have immediately returned from overseas to the country?"

"Stop messing around, Xiaoya. It was hard enough for me to send you abroad for treatment. Are you telling me you would have come back if you knew half of it?"

Shen Ya slumped onto the sofa dejectedly.

"But I'm genuinely angry! How could she do that!"

"Even if Mom and Dad had an accident, she couldn't take advantage of the situation to betray you, taking all your company assets, your car, and your house!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down from her eyes.

"It's all my fault... If it weren't for me, Mom and Dad wouldn't have had the accident, you wouldn't be like this, and Youyou wouldn't have lost her mother..."

Seeing her crying harder and harder, Shen Yan quickly handed her a tissue.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. Youyou has already accepted the fact that Chen Ling and I are divorced. Stop wailing here."

"And about Mom and Dad... If you want to see them sooner, I can take you to the cemetery tomorrow."

Shen Ya wiped her tears with the tissue, replied softly with her head down, and asked, "So, Sister Hui is actually your girlfriend?"

Shen Yan nodded.

Shen Ya scratched her hair and sighed, "Then what do we do? She helped us so much, and I was just rude to her..."

Hearing this, Shen Yan gently patted Shen Ya's head, "Don't overthink it. She won't blame you. Just explain it next time you see her."

Just as Shen Ya was about to agree, she spotted a red item wedged in the gap of the sofa.

"What is this?"

Shen Yan's gaze followed the direction her fingertips pointed.

"Oh... just some trash. I'll throw it away now."

Saying that, he picked up the red wedding invitation and turned toward the trash can.

"Wait!"

Shen Ya got up and rushed to Shen Yan's side, snatching the invitation from his hand.

"Isn't this Chen Ling? Who is Yang Jin? She's marrying this person?"

"And why would she send you a wedding invitation? How dare she send you a wedding invitation!"

Shen Yan raised his hand, snatched the invitation back from her, turned, and threw it into the trash can.

"This Yang Jin is the new boyfriend she found. They're getting married, and she's sending me an invitation to show off."

Seeing how calm he was, Shen Ya was shocked.

She waved her hand in front of Shen Yan's eyes and asked him sincerely,

"Brother, were you a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in your past life? She's provoking you this much, and you can just tolerate it?!"

Shen Yan replied to Shen Ya with a wry smile, "What does that have to do with Ninja Turtles? Her getting married is her business, it has nothing to do with me, and besides..."

When he reached this point, Shen Yan smiled meaningfully.

"Who knows if this marriage can actually happen..."

Because Shen Ya's mind was completely occupied by her anger toward Chen Ling, she failed to grasp the hidden meaning in Shen Yan's words.

"You can tolerate it, but I can't! No way! We must attend this wedding. Not only attend, but we have to cause a huge scene!"

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow, bent down, and asked Shen Ya, "Cause a huge scene? How do you plan to cause a scene?"

Shen Ya narrowed her eyes and snorted, "Hmph. Since she ruined our family until we lost everything, then I'll make her lose all reputation in front of everyone!"
