207: Chapter 27 A Joyful and Harmonious Moment

Shen Ya waited for a long time, but Shen Yan didn't say another word.

"No... and then?"

Shen Yan frowned and said, "What 'and then'? Didn't you ask me how I met her? We met at a lottery shop."

Shen Ya: "...How on earth did Sister Hui take a liking to you?"

Shen Yan replied with a serious face, "Maybe it's because your brother is handsome."

Shen Ya rolled her eyes and immediately let out a "Pah!"

"Pah! Mr. Shen, I advise you not to be so narcissistic!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan burst out laughing.

Half an hour later.

The two of them got out of the car at Liu Hui's doorstep.

"Ding-dong!"

A few seconds later, Liu Hui ran to the door wearing an apron to open it.

"Oh, I haven't finished cooking yet. Why don't you two sit down and wait for a bit?"

Shen Ya intimately stepped forward and hugged Liu Hui's arm, saying, "It's fine. Just let my brother do the rest. Come sit with me in the living room for a while."

Liu Hui blinked blankly and said, "How can that be? I already agreed with your brother that I would treat you both to dinner today."

Shen Ya dragged Liu Hui to the living room to sit down and said, "You bought the groceries, and it's your kitchenware. How does that not count as you treating us to dinner?"

Liu Hui couldn't win the argument against Shen Ya, so she could only look at Shen Yan for help.

Noticing Liu Hui's pleading gaze, Shen Yan pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Just listen to her. Sit here and have a good rest; I'll finish cooking the remaining dishes."

Liu Hui sprang up from the sofa.

"How can that be! We already agreed..."

Before she could finish, Shen Ya dragged Liu Hui back onto the sofa.

"My brother already said that, so why are you still rushing to the kitchen? Let me tell you, you can't spoil my brother. The more you spoil him, the worse he'll treat you, so you should let him do some work once in a while!"

Hearing this, Liu Hui's face instantly turned red, and she asked hesitatingly, "Re... really?"

Shen Ya nodded vigorously.

Just as she finished nodding, Shen Yan walked over and gave Shen Ya's forehead a sharp flick.

"You little troublemaker, don't corrupt your sister-in-law!"

Shen Ya huffed and made a face at Shen Yan.

Once Shen Yan put on the apron and entered the kitchen, Shen Ya let go of Liu Hui's hand and said cautiously, "Sister Hui, I'm sorry about what happened last time..."

Liu Hui looked at Shen Ya with a bewildered expression, not knowing why she was apologizing.

"What's wrong? Why are you apologizing to me?"

Shen Ya pursed her lips and replied, "Last time, I didn't know... I didn't know my brother had divorced that woman. I thought you two..."

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Liu Hui understood what she meant. She asked, caught between laughter and tears, "So last time, you thought I was your brother's mistress?"

Shen Ya nodded sheepishly.

"Because the way you two were acting was quite... quite obvious, so at that time, I was a bit..."

Liu Hui gently pinched Shen Ya's cheek.

"It's okay. I know you're a good girl. It's also my fault for not telling you sooner."

Shen Ya frowned.

"How could it be your fault? If anyone's to blame, it's my brother. Who told him not to tell me sooner? If he had, I definitely wouldn't have given you such an attitude!"

Liu Hui's heart warmed. She hadn't expected Shen Ya to be so reasonable, proactively apologizing after realizing she had misunderstood.

"Alright, alright, say no more. I never intended to blame you anyway. Let's just put this behind us, okay?"

Since Liu Hui didn't hold it against her, Shen Ya was naturally happy. She joyfully hugged Liu Hui's arm and said, "Okay, Sister-in-law!"

Since there weren't many dishes left, Shen Yan finished cooking them quickly.

"Stop chatting and help me bring the dishes out!"

Hearing this, Shen Ya and Liu Hui immediately rushed to the kitchen to help.

The three of them bustled about, looking just like a family.

After sitting down to eat, Shen Ya kept chatting with Liu Hui, making it impossible for Shen Yan to get a word in. He could only eat in silence.

As he ate, his phone suddenly chimed several times.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"

Shen Yan checked his phone and found a message from Chen Guangke.

[Take a look at this.]

[I might not be able to get the invitation to the Gu Corporation's banquet...]

[Is this banquet invitation really that important to us?]

Shen Yan didn't reply immediately.

He frowned and opened the image.

He found that the image was a chat log between Chen Guangke and his friend.

[Xiao Fang: An invitation to the Gu Corporation's banquet? Only the rich, powerful, and well-connected get those. I can't get one.]

[Chen Guangke: Is there no hope at all?]

[Xiao Fang: Really none. Corporations like theirs usually only send invitations to people within a certain circle. Someone at my level can't get one at all.]

[Chen Guangke: Can we get a fake one?]

[Xiao Fang: Forget it. I don't even know what the invitation looks like, so how could I get you a fake one?]

After reading the chat log, Shen Yan's frown deepened.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing that Shen Yan's expression was off, Liu Hui quickly asked.

Shen Yan put down his phone and sighed. "It's nothing, just something about work."

Shen Ya tilted her head in confusion.

"Work stuff? What is it? Can we help?"

Shen Yan shook his head immediately.

Seeing him shake his head so decisively, Shen Ya was a bit dissatisfied.

"How do you know we can't help if you don't tell us?"

Liu Hui chimed in, "Right, even if we can't help, we can still give you some advice."

Shen Yan thought about it and felt that Shen Ya was right.

What if they really could give him a good suggestion?

With that in mind, he spoke about his predicament.

"I want to attend the business banquet hosted by the Gu Corporation, but I don't have an invitation."

As he finished speaking...

Shen Ya blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

"Gu Corporation? What do they do?"

Shen Yan glanced at Shen Ya and replied irritably, "Can't you search for it online yourself?"

Shen Ya bit her lip and replied, "I'm your sister! Doesn't your sister deserve a personal explanation?"

Shen Yan sneered and said, "I wonder who just had the nerve to tell me they could help."

Shen Ya felt a bit guilty. She cleared her throat and said, "Even though I don't know what kind of company the Gu Corporation is, I can still give you advice!"

"Isn't it just an invitation? Can't you just ask a friend for one?"
