Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 572 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (51)

Should we say that Yan's mother is too naive, or that Xiao Yun's acting skills are too good?

Although Yan's mother's liking for Xiao Yun increased dramatically, she was not familiar with him after all, so she got up and left after sitting for a while.

Yan Zhen saw his mother out, watching her figure disappear at the end of the corridor before turning back to the ward.

"How come I never realized you had such a sweet tongue?" Yan Zhen said to Xiao Yun with an ambiguous meaning.

When it comes to pleasing elders, they have a whole repertoire of sweet words to say.

Moreover, the balance was just right, neither stiff nor awkward, nor overly obsequious.

On the contrary, it made him seem exceptionally sincere and honest.

Xiao Yun glanced at her expression, unable to tell whether she was praising him or mocking him.

Knowing that his little tricks wouldn't fool her, Xiao Yun simply stopped pretending and said frankly, "I want to get rid of Auntie's prejudice against me as soon as possible."

"You've succeeded halfway; my mom really falls for this."

"how about you?"

Yan Zhen frowned: "What?"

Xiao Yun looked directly at her and asked softly, "Do you fall for this?"

Yan Zhen stared at him for a long time without answering his question, and instead said, "You've been acting strangely lately."

“Because I’m ambitious.” Xiao Yun stared at her intently, his face, which usually carried a timid and insecure air, now brimming with undisguised ambition. “I want to be with you openly and honestly…and divorce him, okay?”

Yan Zhen was silent for a while, then said coldly, "I may get a divorce, but I have no intention of remarrying."

"why?"

“Gao Shenghan used to be an actor too, and he went to great lengths to pursue me,” Yan Zhen said. “In my opinion, you are no different from him.”

They were all men who actively approached her, hoping to gain something from her.

“There is a difference. I am not like him,” Xiao Yun quickly said. “I will never betray you, nor will I do anything to harm you.”

"So how do you plan to settle the matter of you coming to my house tonight and embarrassing me in front of my relatives?"

Xiao Yun was speechless for a moment, and then awkwardly said, "I think you can handle it..."

“I can handle things and you embarrass me, these are two different things. Just because I won’t die doesn’t mean you can stab me in the back,” Yan Zhen warned. “Xiao Yun, you’ve crossed a line.”

Xiao Yun: "...I'm sorry."

"I can definitely handle this, and I don't care about losing face. Plus, you still have some use to me, so I won't hold it against you." Yan Zhen changed the subject. "However, recognize your identity and position. I provide you with food, clothing, shelter, and a job. You have no right to make demands or ask me to do anything for you, understand?"

Xiao Yun lowered his head and nodded after a long while, his voice a little hoarse: "Understood."

-

Yan family.

After the guests left, Gao Shenghan coaxed Gao Xinyu to sleep and came up with a whole host of reasons, intending to go and explain what had happened tonight to Yan's parents.

But after leaving the children's room, he searched the house but couldn't find his parents.

I asked the housekeeper and found out that Yan's parents had gone to the hospital.

At this time, going to the hospital would only be to visit Xiao Yun.

For a moment, Gao Shenghan felt utterly disheartened.

He kept replaying everything that had happened that night in his mind, unable to understand how things had turned out this way.

His plan was clearly to have Xiao Yun appear in front of the Yan family's relatives, firstly to sow discord between him and Yan Zhen, making Yan Zhen think that Xiao Yun was playing tricks and deliberately showing up at the Yan family banquet to make his presence known, eager to rise in status.

Secondly, she exposed Yan Zhen's infidelity, and then tried to gain the sympathy of Yan's parents by portraying herself as extremely aggrieved, taking the opportunity to ask for funds to start a business.

But the bull terrier that rushed out not only disrupted his plans, but also caused his image in Yan's parents' eyes to plummet because of his subconscious action of pulling Yan Zhen aside to block the dog.

He still gets chills when he recalls the way his father looked at him.

Gao Shenghan was extremely annoyed. He patiently waited at home for almost two hours, when he heard his father's car entering the garage.

Gao Shenghan hurried downstairs and met Yan's parents as they walked in.

"Dad, Mom..."

Yan's mother got angry as soon as she saw Gao Shenghan, and didn't even want to talk to him right now.

"I'm tired. Talk to Lao Yan about it."

After saying that, Yan's mother went back to her room.

Gao Shenghan: "..."

After his mother-in-law left, he stood there, meeting Yan's father's cold gaze, and the prepared speech suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Gao Shenghan managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Yan's father sighed: "Come to the study, let's talk."

Gao Shenghan followed Yan's father into the study with a nervous expression.

The study door closed, and Yan's father sat down in the executive chair, saying to Gao Shenghan who followed him in, "You sit down too."

Gao Shenghan sat down awkwardly opposite him, separated by a desk, unsure of where to put his hands.

Yan's father said, "You should divorce Zhenzhen."

Gao Shenghan's heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly raised his head: "Dad..."

Yan's father raised his hand, signaling Gao Shenghan not to speak yet, but to listen to what he had to say.

“You and Zhenzhen have no feelings for each other anymore. Continuing this marriage will not be good for you, her, or the child. It’s better to get a divorce. I will give you all the money and shares that are due to you…”

"Dad!" Gao Shenghan interrupted his father urgently, "I do have feelings for A-Zhen..."

"If you have feelings for her, why would you push her into a dangerous place without hesitation?"

Gao Shenghan choked.

Yan's father's voice turned colder: "No matter how nice you say it, conditioned reflexes can't lie. When I first found out that Zhenzhen was keeping someone else, I thought she was the one who wronged you first. Now it seems that you were the one who lost touch with her first. She couldn't feel love from you anymore, so she sought comfort from someone else."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

"I won't say anything more hurtful, but our whole family is very disappointed in you because of what happened tonight," said Yan's father. "I'll have a lawyer work with you in the next few days. You need to cooperate in drafting the divorce agreement. If you have any conditions, just let me know, and I'll try my best to meet them."

Gao Shenghan's hands, resting on his knees, slowly tightened, clenching into fists.

"What about Xiaoyu?" Gao Shenghan asked unwillingly. "He's still so young. What will happen to him after I divorce Azhen?"

After thinking for a moment, Yan's father asked, "Do you want to take him away?"

Gao Shenghan paused for a moment and said, "Xiaoyu has never left me in his life, so I definitely don't want to be separated from him."

"Take the child with you."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

His last chip also became useless.

“I will pay child support on a monthly basis from now on, and the Yan family will also have visitation rights for the child,” said Yan’s father. “I will transfer 300,000 yuan in child support to your account regularly. As for whether the child wants to come back to live with Zhenzhen after she becomes an adult, or stay with you as her father, we can discuss it then, with respect for the child’s wishes as the priority.”
