225: Chapter 225 The Understanding Flower

Shen Ya let out a cold laugh.

"I'm already living with you now, don't you know me well enough?"

"I am a living person. Although I am much younger than you, I am already an adult. I have my own ideas."

"Even if this company really isn't much, I can still hit a brick wall. I can choose what I want to do!"

Shen Yan couldn't understand what Shen Ya was saying at all.

He didn't think investigating the company where Shen Ya currently worked was an excessive action.

Nor did he think there was anything wrong with understanding Shen Ya's life.

"I really don't understand what you're saying. As an older brother, is it wrong for me to care about you?!"

Shen Ya also felt that she couldn't communicate with Shen Yan.

She scolded loudly, "You know you're my brother, not my father. What kind of older brother manages what his younger sister eats, drinks, and where she lives?"

"To put it plainly, I just want a little freedom of my own. Is that too much to ask?!"

As her voice fell,

Shen Yan fell silent.

He felt that he and Shen Ya were having completely ineffective communication.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about these things. I'll just have Old Chen investigate. You are currently..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ya threw the bag in her hand directly onto his face.

"Shen Yan!"

Shen Yan also got angry.

"Shen Ya!"

After shouting each other's names, the two confronted each other for a few minutes.

Afterward, they returned to their respective rooms without saying a word.

...

The next day, Gu Mingming's funds arrived.

"Mr. Shen, the investor's funds have all arrived, a total of 200 million. How should we arrange this fund now?"

Hearing the Finance Department's question, Shen Yan thought for a moment and replied to the Finance Department, "First, go and fill the hole in the laboratory, and then organize the company's current financial situation and show it to me."

After listening, the Finance Department nodded, turned around, and left the office.

As soon as she left, Wu Ya came in.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Why are you knocking when you're already at the door?"

Shen Yan asked Wu Ya with a smile.

Wu Ya pursed her lips, walked into the office, and replied, "It's a habit."

Saying that, she stood still and didn't speak.

Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Yan looked at her doubtfully.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Wu Ya raised her hand and pointed to her face.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Shen Yan was stunned, raised his hand, and touched the corner of his mouth.

"Oh... this? I was hit by someone yesterday."

Wu Ya's eyes sharpened, and she asked, "Who hit you?"

Shen Yan sighed.

"Who else could it be that could hit my face? It's just those two."

Wu Ya still looked confused.

Shen Yan shook his head and replied, "Shen Ya."

Shen Ya?!

Wu Ya looked extremely surprised.

"Why did Xiao Ya hit your face with something? What did you do to her?"

Shen Yan was also full of confusion.

His intentions were clearly good; he just wanted to care for his younger sister.

Why was everything he did wrong in his sister's eyes?

Thinking about it, he became even more puzzled.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Wu Ya thought for a moment, turned around, closed the office door, and sat opposite Shen Yan.

"Did you have a fight with your sister?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Yes. Actually, I don't really understand why my sister wanted to fight with me."

"I was clearly caring for her, but in her eyes, everything I did seemed like I was trying to harm her."

Shen Yan became more agitated as he spoke, his brow furrowed.

Seeing this, Wu Ya got up, walked in front of Shen Yan, and placed her hand on his brow.

"Stop frowning. You don't look good when you frown."

Shen Yan was stunned and leaned his head back somewhat unnaturally.

"You... you... you should go back to your seat."

Wu Ya felt a little hurt by Shen Yan's avoidance.

However, her expression quickly returned to normal. She sat back down opposite Shen Yan and said to him,

"Actually, you can tell me what happened between you and your sister. I'm a girl too, maybe I can help you solve this matter."

Shen Yan thought for a moment and felt that what Wu Ya said made sense.

Shen Ya and Wu Ya were close in age; perhaps their ways of thinking were aligned.

"The thing is... yesterday my sister suddenly said she was going out for a job interview, and then last night she didn't come back on time."

"I was afraid the job she found wasn't quite legitimate, so I wanted to ask her where she worked and then have Old Chen investigate that company."

"But somehow I angered her, and she suddenly got mad at me, telling me not to manage her so much."

"But I am her brother! I definitely have to ask the necessary questions!"

Seeing him getting more anxious as he spoke, Wu Ya quickly said to him, "Okay, okay, I get it. Actually, I understand your thoughts."

"Shen Ya is your only sister, and you definitely don't want anything to go wrong with her."

Shen Yan nodded and sighed, "You can understand my thoughts, so why can't she?"

Wu Ya felt that Shen Yan shouldn't make such a comparison.

"Actually, you can't say that. My position and your sister's position are different..."

"Forget it, I won't beat around the bush with you. Actually, I can also understand your sister's thoughts. Your sister is still young, and she hasn't been working for long."

"She has always been constrained by you. It's normal for her to want to carve out her own path."

Shen Yan frowned and replied, "But I never thought about stopping her. I just wanted to help her!"

Wu Ya thought for a moment and spoke up, "How about this, you ask your sister when she has time, and I'll talk to her."

Shen Yan didn't speak.

He was thinking about whether this method would work.

Given Shen Ya's current resistant attitude, he didn't think Shen Ya would agree to talk to Wu Ya.

Thinking this, he said to Wu Ya, "I'm afraid she won't like you because you are my friend."

Wu Ya chuckled out loud.

"Don't overthink it. Just ask her when she's free and say someone wants to chat with her."

Shen Yan looked full of suspicion.

"Will that really work?"

Wu Ya nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, it will definitely work."

Since she said that, Shen Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you. If you can help me persuade her to be more understanding, I will definitely treat you to a big meal! No! Several meals are fine!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ya's smile gradually widened. She looked at Shen Yan tenderly and said to him, "Actually, you don't have to treat me to a meal."

Shen Yan blinked and somewhat guiltily avoided Wu Ya's gaze.

After understanding the whole story, Wu Ya didn't stay in the office any longer.

Only after she left the office did Shen Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because Wu Ya had confessed to him and had never hidden the affection in her eyes.

This caused him to feel a bit awkward whenever they were alone together.
