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

Chapter 571 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (50)

Amidst the terrified screams of the Yan family, the bull terrier bit Xiao Yun's shoulder.

Yan Zhen felt the person holding him tremble with pain, and even their breathing became rapid.

Everything happened so suddenly that the crisis was only temporarily averted when the bodyguards rushed over, pulled the Bull Terrier away, and subdued it with a stun gun.

Yan Zhen immediately broke free from Xiao Yun's embrace, pulled him over and looked at him. Blood was gushing from his right shoulder, and he was in so much pain that his face turned pale.

"Go to the hospital!"

The housekeeper immediately arranged for a driver to take Xiao Yun and Yan Zhen to the hospital.

After seeing them off to their car, Yan's father turned around and began to comfort his frightened relatives and friends.

His gaze fell on Gao Shenghan, who stood to the side looking flustered and guilty. He gave Gao Shenghan a cold look, said nothing, and then ordered someone to take the Bull Terrier out and dispose of it.

hospital.

After cleaning Xiao Yun's wounds and administering a rabies vaccine, the doctor arranged for him to be hospitalized.

Yan Zhen completed the hospital admission procedures for him and returned to the ward, where Xiao Yun was receiving an IV drip.

He was seriously injured; his face was deathly pale, and he could only lie on his side, unable to lie flat.

Yan Zhen sat down by the hospital bed and stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Xiao Yun felt inexplicably guilty under her gaze.

After a long while, Yan Zhen spoke up: "Would you like some water?"

Xiao Yun paused slightly.

He had thought Yan Zhen would ask him why he suddenly went to the Yan family, and he had already prepared his response.

But Yan Zhen remained silent, which made him feel helpless, as if his little thoughts had been seen through.

When Yan Zhen saw that he did not answer, he got up to pour water.

But as she turned around, her sleeve was pulled.

Xiao Yun looked up at her, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "I admit I did it on purpose."

Yan Zhen remained silent, taking advantage of his standing position to look down at Xiao Yun.

Under her sharp gaze, Xiao Yun's eyes flickered: "I received your WeChat video call this evening. In the video, you seemed to have been in a car accident. I called back but no one answered. At that time, I called Assistant Ji to verify, and he said you were fine. I guessed that Gao Shenghan called on purpose, wanting me to go to the Yan family tonight and embarrass you..."

Yan Zhen asked, "So you decided to play along and go directly to the Yan family to find me?"

When she pressed for details afterward, Xiao Yun revealed the whole story, which made her even more disgusted with Gao Shenghan, who had schemed against her.

Xiao Yun nodded slightly, looking uneasy.

He didn't dare tell Yan Zhen that his plan to make her dislike Gao Shenghan was only one part of his scheme; he also came to the Yan family tonight to show off in front of the two elders of the Yan family.

Yan Zhen was silent for a moment, then smiled enigmatically.

Her smile made Xiao Yun even more terrified.

"Are you angry?"

"What do you think?" Yan Zhen asked in return.

Xiao Yun: "..."

Yan Zhen stretched out a finger and poked at his bitten shoulder: "Was being bitten by a dog also part of your plan?"

The wound was already painful, and when Yan Zhen poked it, Xiao Yun shuddered in pain.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and nodded.

The bull terrier that rushed out was not part of his plan, but he did it on purpose by protecting Yan Zhen and letting himself be bitten.

Given his skills as a stuntman, it's not impossible for him to grab Yan Zhen and dodge.

But he knew very well that with Gao Shenghan pushing Yan Zhen out as a shield, he, who was injured while saving Yan Zhen, would gain more favor from the Yan family.

"Not very smart, but quite cunning," Yan Zhen scoffed.

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xiao Yun quickly grabbed her hand: "Where are you going?"

"Pour water."

Xiao Yun: "..."

When Yan Zhen went out to get a glass of water, she ran into her parents in the hallway when she returned.

"How is the young man? Is he badly injured?" asked Yan's mother.

Yan Zhen wanted to say it wasn't serious, but she changed her mind and said, "I lost too much blood, and it will probably take a long time to recover."

Yan's father frowned and asked Yan Zhen in a low voice, "What is he doing at our house tonight?"

Yan Zhen called Xiao Yun on WeChat video and told her the whole story of what she thought was a car accident.

The only difference is that the part where Xiao Yun asks his assistant for confirmation is omitted.

“I checked the time he received the WeChat video call on his phone. At that time, my phone was in Gao Shenghan’s hands.”

Yan's parents were taken aback, but quickly figured out what had happened.

"How come I never realized my son-in-law was like this before?" Yan's mother said angrily. She still felt lingering fear whenever she thought of the scene where Gao Shenghan pushed his daughter out as a shield when faced with a vicious dog.

Yan's father also looked very unwell.

As a man, he understood Gao Shenghan's anger and humiliation when faced with his wife's infidelity. However, as a father, he could not tolerate his son-in-law's scheme to embarrass his daughter in front of relatives and almost cause her death.

This son-in-law is no longer acceptable.

Yan Zhen asked, "Dad, Mom, are you going in to visit Xiao Yun?"

Yan's father and mother exchanged a glance.

"I'll go, Lao Yan shouldn't go in," said Yan's mother.

It is a fact that Xiao Yun saved Yan Zhen, and it is only right and proper for the Yan family to send someone to express their condolences.

However, given Xiao Yun's awkward position, it wouldn't be appropriate for the two elders to come and visit before their daughter's divorce was finalized.

Yan's father nodded: "I'll wait for you outside."

After Yan's father left, Yan Zhen and Yan's mother went into the ward.

Upon seeing Aunt Yan, Xiao Yun, who was lying in the hospital bed, quickly sat up and said, "Auntie..."

"Lie down, lie down," Yan's mother quickly said. "No need to get up."

Xiao Yun leaned back on the hospital bed and sincerely apologized to Aunt Yan: "Auntie, I'm sorry for causing you trouble tonight."

Yan's mother waved her hand: "I already know the reason, it's not your fault."

If it weren't for Gao Shenghan's scheme, Xiao Yun wouldn't have rushed to the Yan family in such a hurry.

With the defenses of the Yan family manor, even if Xiao Yun came, he wouldn't be able to get through the gate.

Ultimately, all of this was orchestrated by Gao Shenghan out of selfish motives.

"Have you explained things to your relatives?" Xiao Yun looked at Yan Zhen, her eyes full of worry. "Will my sudden visit tonight affect my sister's image in front of our relatives?"

Seeing that he didn't complain at all and was still most concerned about his daughter's situation, Yan's mother, who had previously been quite critical of Xiao Yun for interfering in her daughter's marriage, couldn't help but find Xiao Yun more agreeable now.

Compared to Gao Shenghan, that son-in-law who was full of scheming and bad intentions, the one in front of her was much more sincere.

Yan's mother said, "It's okay. Tonight's guests are all relatives we know well, and they won't tell anyone."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."

"How are you hurt?"

"It's a minor injury. The doctor said it will heal after some rest."

"You lost so much blood, how could you be alright? I'll have the nanny bring you some soup tomorrow to help you recover. Do you prefer chicken soup or fish soup?"

Yan Zhen leaned against the side with her arms crossed, watching Xiao Yun easily win over Yan's mother with just a few words and superb acting skills. She was both amused and exasperated.
