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

Chapter 196 Killing the Cuckoo (11)

Yan Zhen looked at the family of three and narrowed his eyes.

Mr. Gao is a short, thin old man, almost sixty years old this year. His head is completely bald. His double eyelids, which he had when he was young, have turned into droopy, triangular eyes as he gets older. When he looks at people with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes are full of shrewdness and calculation.

When news of Gao Li's desire to divorce reached the Gao family in her previous life, Gao's father was the first to object, citing many reasons.

For example, Fang Yi was good to her. If she missed him, where else could she find such a good man?

For example, the Gao family cannot have a divorced woman, because as a father, he cannot bear the shame, and so on.

He even helped the Fang family suppress Gao Li—other women fight with other women for men, but you fight with men for men, and you even lost. How dare you make a scene?

When Gao Li insisted on getting a divorce, her father flew into a rage and slapped her hard across the face in front of the Fang family.

When this reached Li Tingyi's ears, he used it as a point of attack when they met again, mocking Gao Li mercilessly.

After Gao's mother finished her visit and smoked two cigarettes, leaving the ward filled with the smell of smoke, Gao's father began to adopt the air of a parent and give orders.

"How could you be so careless? You're almost eight months pregnant, and this still happened."

"Your son-in-law and in-laws treated you so well, and you couldn't even protect their child. What use are you to them!"

You're embarrassing me every single day!

After rambling on and on, Gao's father finally concluded: "My son-in-law is not young anymore. Other men his age are already fathers of several children. You should take good care of your health and get pregnant again as soon as possible, preferably with a boy. That way, I can at least give his family an explanation."

Yan Zhen listened quietly, then asked in confusion, "Confess? What confession?"

"It's about the responsibility of bearing children," Gao's father said matter-of-factly. "People pay money to marry you so they can have children. You lost your first pregnancy. As your father, where do I put my face?"

Yan Zhen chuckled: "You're really funny. They didn't even give you any KPIs, so why are you taking on all this responsibility? If you really feel sorry for the Fang family, go abroad and get an artificial uterus installed so you can personally carry on the Fang family line."

Mr. Gao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Yan Zhen was mocking him. He immediately became angry: "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm only doing this for your own good!"

"For my own good?" Yan Zhen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "For my own good, you're urging me to get pregnant with a second child the day after I lost my child, when my body and mind haven't even recovered yet? Even a sow carrying piglets wouldn't be in such a rush. You really don't treat me like a human being."

"What do you know!" Gao's father scolded, his face darkening. "Don't you know your own limitations? The Fang family has such good conditions. If you don't have a few more children to keep your son-in-law tied to you, he might have children with another woman and then come back and dump you. You'll be crying then!"

"Oh, so you're worried about me being abandoned." Yan Zhen suddenly realized. "That's easy. Just transfer the dowry from the Fang family to my card. As long as I have money, I don't care whether we get divorced or not."

Gao's father: "..."

"If you can't do it, then don't come here and use the excuse of doing it for my own good to exploit my womb and curry favor with the Fang family. It sounds disgusting."

“You…” Gao’s father suddenly stood up, his eyes wide, looking at her as if she were a stranger.

His impression of his daughter was that she was used to being submissive and obedient in front of him. Even if she had opinions about his decisions, she would not dare to argue back as long as he shouted at her.

This is how he disciplined and educated Gao Li since he was a child, and this method has never failed him.

But after only a year of marriage, Gao Li seems like a completely different person. Not only is she quick-witted, but she also dares to talk back to him.

"Are you crazy?" Gao's father said. "You lost your brain in the miscarriage, can't you tell right from wrong?"

"Not only have you lost your brains, but you've also lost your manners." Yan Zhen pointed to the door. "Get out. I don't want to see you right now; you disgust me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao's mother tugged at her sleeve and gave her a wink, signaling her not to provoke Gao's father.

Yan Zhen glanced at her and pulled the sleeve out of her hand.

She was a pushover, letting this man use his fatherly authority to bully his daughter, but she wasn't.

"You motherfucker..." Gao's father was indeed furious, and rushed over to slap Yan Zhen.

Gao Heng, engrossed in his phone, ignored his actions without even looking up, while his mother instinctively shrank back, not daring to stop him at all.

Yan Zhen neither dodged nor flinched, but grabbed the fruit knife from the fruit plate on the bedside table and raised the tip of the knife towards Gao's father.

Seeing this, Gao's father not only did not stop, but instead directly rammed his body into the tip of the knife.

His daughter grew up under his watchful eye, and he knew very well how timid she was and how afraid she was of him. Her current toughness was just a temporary act of courage.

To put it bluntly, she's just a paper tiger!

She dared not hurt herself, nor could she bear the blame and strange looks from others after hurting her biological father.

His authority as a father was not to be challenged, and he had to teach her a lesson today.

Knowing what was going on, Gao's father didn't hesitate at all as he walked straight into the knife's edge.

The next moment, he saw Yan Zhen give him a mocking smile, maintaining the position of holding the knife, and then turn his face away—go ahead and crash, anyway I can't see or put the knife away.

Mr. Gao's heart skipped a beat, and he managed to stop himself just ten or twenty centimeters from the tip of the knife.

Looking at the knife tip still pointing at him, he realized that his daughter truly didn't care about his safety anymore.

After a brief moment of shock and bewilderment, Gao's father flew into a rage, his voice cracking as he roared, "You beast!!! I'm your father!!!"

What follows is a string of profanities that needs to be censored.

Faced with his anger, Yan Zhen calmly pressed the call button on the bedside table.

The nurse came in quickly and first tried to calm Gao's father down, but in his rage, Gao's father also started cursing at the nurse.

Finally, after alarming the doctor and the vice president, security guards were called in to kick Gao's father out, and Yan Zhen finally got some peace and quiet.

Having personally experienced this, Yan Zhen finally understood why Gao Li in his previous life was so "cowardly" when faced with divorce.

A person who grows up in an environment of suppression, being scolded for doing wrong and nitpicked for doing right, and who does not receive affirmation and praise for a long time, will gradually develop a people-pleasing personality.

A prominent characteristic of people-pleasing personalities is a low sense of worthiness.

Such people subconsciously believe that they are terrible and unworthy of all good things.

When faced with kindness from others, the first reaction is one of trepidation, feeling unworthy while trying to repay it in kind.

Gao Li is a typical people-pleasing personality. She is gentle and delicate, yet insecure and sensitive. Due to her father's long-term suppression and brainwashing, she is overly concerned about the opinions of others. Therefore, when both the Fang family and the Gao family disagree with her divorce from Fang Yihe, she grits her teeth and endures all the grievances.
