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

Chapter 232 Killing the Cuckoo (47)

After encouraging Gao Heng, Yan Zhen was called to the kitchen by Gao's mother to help out.

Yan Zhen rolled up her sleeves and started washing and chopping. Then, Aunt Gao asked her to go to the balcony and bring in the garlic that was hanging there.

Yan Zhen walked to the balcony and pushed open the door, almost bumping into a girl who was squatting on the balcony, holding a mobile phone and reading comics.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looked quiet and well-behaved.

She probably felt that other places were either filled with smoking men or noisy children from her relatives' homes, so she could only find peace and quiet on the balcony.

Startled by Yan Zhen pushing open the door, she looked up and called out to him.

"cousin."

Yan Zhen recognized her; it was her aunt's daughter, who was in high school.

Yan Zhen greeted her, took the garlic, and left. Her gaze inadvertently swept across the girl's phone screen, where a colorful comic strip showed two very handsome comic book protagonists embracing and kissing.

Both main characters are male.

Yan Zhen looked away and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another, and the meal began.

Yan Zhen sat at the main table, listening to Gao's father drink and boast, patting Gao Heng on the shoulder and praising his son for being promising, saying that the Gao family had a successor and that he wouldn't have to worry about his retirement in the future.

The relatives also showed their support, praising Gao's father and Gao Heng with smiles, and some even took the opportunity to ask Gao Heng about investment opportunities.

Before Gao Heng could respond, Xu Chuan, who was sitting next to him, spoke up first, talking about the investment project he was working on, how much money he could invest and how much return he could expect, and he explained the return cycle, risks, advantages, and disadvantages in great detail.

With Gao Heng's success as an example, Gao's relatives believed it wholeheartedly and added Xu Chuan's contact information, asking him to guide them into the family.

Xu Chuan welcomes all comers.

Yan Zhen watched this scene without saying a word.

After a few rounds of drinks, the relatives were all slightly tipsy. Seeing that the time was right, Gao Heng suddenly stood up with his wine glass and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, since everyone is here, I want to announce something to you all."

Upon hearing this, Gao's father, who had been lazily leaning back in his chair, sat up straight, and the other relatives also looked over at Gao Heng.

Gao Heng suddenly became the center of everyone's attention. He was obviously a little nervous and quickly glanced at Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen smiled slightly and gave him an encouraging look.

Gao Heng immediately felt reassured and, meeting everyone's gaze, said, "I'm in a relationship."

Mr. Gao's eyes lit up: "Really? Which family's daughter is she?"

Aunt Gao was also very happy: "On such a good day, why didn't you bring her along?"

“I brought it with me,” Gao Heng said.

As soon as he said that, his relatives all started looking for girls of suitable age on the spot.

Gao Heng pulled Xu Chuan up from beside him: "He's here."

Mr. Gao was stunned, not reacting for a moment: "What...what does this mean? Your girlfriend can't come, so you're having her family represent her? Is this your brother-in-law?"

“No, Dad.” Gao Heng said, his fingers intertwined with Xu Chuan’s, both nervous and expectant, “My boyfriend is Xu Chuan.”

boom--

Mr. Gao suddenly stood up, almost knocking over the liquor on the table.

The relatives also had different expressions, and for a moment the scene was extremely quiet.

Mr. Gao's face was extremely ugly: "Gao Heng, don't joke with me like that."

Gao Heng was clearly prepared for his father's reaction. Despite his fear, he didn't back down: "I'm not joking. Xu Chuan and I have been together for over half a year. We're truly in love..."

"Shut up!!!" Gao's father roared, silencing Gao Heng. His face flushed red with emotion. "Is this proper? Is this proper? What kind of man dates another man? Are all the women in the world dead?"

Gao Heng was startled and instinctively took a step back, afraid that his father would rush up and hit him. But he retorted defiantly, "There are plenty of homosexuals. Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist. What's wrong with dating a man? Isn't Xu Chuan good to you? He's knowledgeable, has a respectable job, and can even help me make money. That car you have was bought with his help. I just like him..."

"Are you out of your mind?!" Enraged, Gao's father grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it against Gao Heng. "You bastard, I'll beat you to death!!!"

Gao Heng turned to the side, and the wine bottle flew past his head and hit the wall behind him.

Gao's father missed his target and turned around to grab a feather duster from behind the TV, intending to whip Gao Heng.

Seeing this, the relatives all tried to stop it, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.

In the chaos, Gao Heng was kicked twice by his father, which ignited his temper. While dodging his father's attacks, he said, "Whether you agree or not, I'm going to be with Xu Chuan. I'm here to inform you of this, not to ask for your consent..."

Mr. Gao was almost furious: "You shameful bastard, I'll beat you to death today and cleanse the house!!"

He raised his hand to hit Gao Heng, but was stopped by his relatives.

Facing the awkward, amused, or gloating looks from his relatives, Gao Heng stood tall and fearless, saying, "I know that people might laugh at me behind my back after I tell this, but life is only a few decades long, and I don't want to force myself to suppress myself just to conform to mainstream values!"

What's wrong with liking men? Is liking men illegal? If I love someone, I'll be with him openly and honestly! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me!

Gao's father was both embarrassed and ashamed. He was so angry that he looked like a toad, his bloodshot eyes wide open, the veins on his neck bulging, and his hand pointing at Gao Heng trembling uncontrollably: "I think you've gone mad! You're absolutely insane!"

"Dad!" Gao Heng said discontentedly, "Instead of criticizing me, you should learn about homosexuality. It's very normal abroad; same-sex marriage is legal there. It's just that our country is more conservative..."

"Shut the fuck up!" Gao's father roared, pointing at Xu Chuan. "You, get out! You're the one who corrupted my son!!!"

Gao Heng immediately stepped in front of Xu Chuan: "It has nothing to do with him, I was the one who liked him first!"

Gao's father: "..."

His face was ashen, and he seemed to be having trouble breathing.

Two relatives who were on good terms with Gao's father saw this and tried to persuade Gao Heng: "Xiao Heng, don't be impulsive. Men can't have children. If you stay with a man and have no offspring, who will take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die?"

“You don’t need to worry about that, I’ve already thought it through,” Gao Heng said. “Xu Chuan and I both earn money. Once we buy a house and have some savings, we’ll go abroad for surrogacy. I heard that as long as the money is right, we can not only have twins, but also choose the gender of the child. We can have a boy and a girl, which is no different from getting married.”

"Nonsense!" Mr. Gao gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, wishing he could kick Gao Heng to death. "Can a child born through surrogacy be the same as one born of oneself?! I will absolutely not agree to this! If you dare to be with this Xu man, don't even think about stepping into this house again!"

Gao Heng paused, then turned his pleading gaze to Yan Zhen.
