224: Chapter 224 Siblings Quarrel

As soon as these words were spoken, the office instantly fell silent.

After a moment, Chen Guangke suddenly pinched the flesh on his thigh, walked over to Shen Yan, squatted down, hugged his thigh, and said to Shen Yan with teary eyes:

"Brother Shen, actually, my dad told me before that I have a biological brother who went missing many years ago..."

Shen Yan's lips curved up slightly, and he stroked Chen Guangke's face with his fingers, asking softly, "Oh? A long-lost biological brother?"

Chen Guangke nodded repeatedly.

"That's right! No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity the moment I first saw you, as if we had known each other for many years. I didn't expect that we would meet at this time. From now on, I'll call you brother! Brother~"

Shen Yan shuddered, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.

He took a deep breath, put down his hand, and said to Chen Guangke, "Fine. Since you called me brother today, then from now on you are my younger brother. Brothers shouldn't be so formal with each other."

"I'll go tell Finance right away and say you are my biological brother. There's no need to be distant between us. It's only right for you to come to the company to help me, so I won't pay you a salary..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Guangke jumped up from beside him.

"That won't do!"

"Didn't you say that you would cover anyone in your family?"

Shen Yan blinked innocently and replied, "I will cover my family, but I never said I would pay my family members a salary."

Chen Guangke could no longer bear it and directly pointed at Shen Yan's nose, shouting loudly, "There's no one as deceitful as you! I don't want to be your brother anymore!"

Shen Yan burst out laughing.

For a moment, the office was filled with cheerful laughter.

When he returned home that evening,

Shen Yan found that Shen Ya had not returned yet.

While holding Youyou, he asked the Auntie who was busy in the kitchen, "Auntie, did my sister come home today?"

Auntie Fang put down the wok, turned around, and replied to him, "When I arrived, only Miss Liu was here. Miss Shen might have gone out. Do you want to call and ask her?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment, took out his phone, and called Shen Ya.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

"Hello?"

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Shen Yan frowned and asked Shen Ya, "Where are you now? Why aren't you home so late?"

Shen Ya replied to Shen Yan, "Just eat without me. I'm still working overtime at the company."

Shen Yan's eyes widened.

"Working overtime?!"

Shen Ya didn't find this strange at all.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you? I went for an interview today."

Shen Yan pressed his temples.

"What does your interview have to do with you working overtime right now?"

Shen Ya sighed and said to him in a helpless tone, "How can you be so dense? If I'm working overtime now, it must be because I passed the interview today, and the company asked me to start immediately!"

"I won't talk to you anymore. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. I'll chat with you when I get back tonight!"

With that, she hastily hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone screen that had returned to the main page, Shen Yan sighed deeply, feeling that Shen Ya was becoming more and more worrying.

Seeing him sighing over there, Auntie Fang walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Miss Shen outside?"

Shen Yan shook his head and placed Youyou on a chair.

"No, she said she's working overtime. Forget it, let's eat first and ignore her."

Auntie Fang nodded and said nothing more.

It was nine-thirty that evening.

Shen Ya finally returned.

As soon as she entered the house, Shen Yan immediately stood up and walked in front of her, asking, "What's going on with you today?"

Shen Ya took off her shoes, walked lazily into the living room, placed everything she was carrying on the table, and then immediately collapsed onto the sofa.

"I just got home. Can't you stop interrogating me like a criminal?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan laughed in anger.

He walked to the side of the sofa and roughly pulled Shen Ya up.

"What do you mean I'm interrogating a criminal? Isn't it okay for me to care about my sister?"

Shen Ya pouted somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Is this how you care for your sister? I finally found a job today, and after working a full day, I still have to face your gloomy face questioning me..."

Whenever it came to Shen Ya's affairs, Shen Yan couldn't help but get agitated. He took a deep breath and tried to ask her in a calm tone, "Fine, I won't question you then. I'll just ask: which company did you interview with?"

Shen Ya replied without hesitation, "I won't tell you."

Hearing this, Shen Yan was stunned.

"Why won't you tell me?"

Shen Ya cleared her throat and replied, "Because if I tell you, you will definitely have someone investigate that company inside and out!"

Shen Yan blinked, his tone filled with immense confusion.

"Shouldn't I investigate that company? What if there's a problem with that company?"

Shen Ya frowned and waved her hand.

"I am an adult and I have my own thoughts and subjective opinions. I wouldn't join a pyramid scheme company, so you don't need to overthink it. Just let me handle things my own way."

After listening, Shen Yan closed his eyes and said to Youyou, who was still playing with her phone nearby, "Youyou, it's getting late now. You can go back to your room to rest."

Youyou put down her phone with some dissatisfaction.

"But it's only nine-thirty. You said I could play until ten before!"

Shen Yan frowned and said to Youyou, "Then I'll give you back the half hour tomorrow, okay? You go back to your room to rest first. Dad needs to talk to your aunt."

Youyou glanced at Shen Ya, then at Shen Yan, and keenly sensed the difference in the atmosphere.

She thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep first. Dad and Little Auntie, you can't argue, okay?"

Shen Yan tugged at the corner of his mouth and grunted in response.

A few minutes later, Youyou entered her room.

As soon as she went in, Shen Ya asked Shen Yan, "What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Yan sat on the sofa and said to Shen Ya, "What I want to talk to you about, don't you know clearly in your own heart?"

"I know you're grown up, but I'm your brother. I have the right to know your situation."

"Tell me which company you are working for now. I'll ask Old Chen to check it for me. If there are no problems with this company, I'll let you continue working there."

Shen Yan thought that what he said was perfectly reasonable.

But he never expected that Shen Ya would completely lose it because of this sentence.

"Why do you always have to dictate my life and my choices?!"

Shen Ya's voice rose, and Shen Yan's voice followed suit.

"What do you mean I'm dictating your choices and your life? You are my sister! Isn't it my duty to care about your situation?!"
